Don't worry, that piece of shit will always be yours

After effortlessly tearing the little bitch apart, Xu Su picked up the plain water he had boiled himself and took another elegant sip.

But at the other end of the dining table, Zhuang Luo could no longer keep it together.

Never in his life had anyone mocked him with such vicious words.

Even after he entered the entertainment industry, where attacks from haters were inevitable, his manager had protected his delicate feelings by never letting him see any negative comments.

And what about Xu Su?

Not only had he said those things to his face, he had done it more than once!

Between yesterday and today, Xu Su had insulted him at least three times!

And each time had been more vicious than the last!

Enough!

He had really had enough!

He put down his chopsticks, stopped crying, and adopted an air of earnest concern as he began striking back at Xu Su's "sore spot":

"Xu Su, I know you hate us so much because you couldn't have Weizhou, and because I didn't tell you we were together soon enough."

"But you need to understand that even without me, Weizhou wouldn't like you. If he liked you, he would have fallen for you long ago."

"Think about how long you pursued him and how much you did for him. But did he ever spare you a glance? No, right?"

"Xu Su, wake up. Stop clinging to this delusion. What you're doing is pointless. It'll only make Weizhou hate you even more."

After getting all that out in one go, much of his resentment and anger dissipated. He felt certain that hearing those words would send Xu Su into a rage, driving him to do something deranged and ruin himself for good.

Yet, unexpectedly, no roar came from across the dining table as he had imagined. Instead, a soft chuckle drifted over.

Thinking he had misheard, he blinked and looked closely, only to see Xu Su covering his mouth with his fist, his cheeks slightly red from holding back laughter.

"?"

He was dumbfounded, unable to understand why Xu Su would react like that.

Even if he wasn't angry, he should at least have looked grim. How could he feel like laughing?

As he puzzled over it, he heard Xu Su speak:

"Don't worry, that piece of shit will always be yours. No one's going to fight you for him. In fact, I'll have a problem with anyone who tries."

Another soft chuckle. "After all, dogs and shit are a perfect match. No one should tear them apart."

[Holy... what a beautiful insult!]

[How do I put this? It feels like Zhuang Luo worked so hard to unleash his ultimate, only for Xu Su to flick it right back at him.]

[Same. That was so satisfying to watch. This doesn't feel like a variety show. It's a revenge drama.]

[Did Li Weizhou fall into the latrine?! Why isn't he back yet?! Luoluo's getting bullied to death!]

"You..."

Resentment and fury unlike anything before surfaced on Zhuang Luo's face.

But it wasn't over. Xu Su continued, "You got something wrong earlier, though. It wasn't that you didn't tell me you were together soon enough. You deliberately kept it from me."

"And that's not all. You'd clearly been together for two years, but throughout this past year when I was blind, you kept encouraging me to pursue Li Weizhou. You said we were a perfect match, that Li Weizhou would definitely like me. You even wished us a lifetime of happiness together in advance."

Another soft chuckle. "Genuine question: do you have a split personality?"

Those words shocked everyone!

Zhuang Luo even swayed, as though he was about to faint from the shock.

[Holy shit?!?!?!]

[I don't understand, but I'm deeply shocked.]

[Incredible. Not only does Zhuang Luo smoke and drink in private, he's into something this niche too???]

[This gossip is too big to swallow in one bite! My mouth could fit a whole fat koi right now!]

[Bullshit!!! Xu Su is spreading rumors!!! Don't believe him!!!]

[Exactly! You can tell it's fake just hearing it! Our Luoluo isn't that kind of person!]

Inside an office at Microstar Entertainment Company, Zhuang Luo's manager was roaring into the phone. "Has your Xu Su lost his mind?! How dare he say things like that!"

Xu Su's manager, Cheng Nan, replied calmly, "Don't get worked up. We're handling it."

Zhuang Luo's manager exhaled deeply. "How do you plan to handle it?"

Cheng Nan said, "We plan to use an intelligent blocking method involving the manual, forced shutdown of sensory perception."

"?"

What kind of method was that?

Zhuang Luo's manager was thoroughly confused, but to avoid looking ignorant, he refrained from questioning it and played along instead:

"That sounds like an excellent method. Could you explain the specific procedure?"

Cheng Nan said, "It's simple. Just four words."

Zhuang Luo's manager focused intently. "Go on."

Cheng Nan said, "Close your eyes. Don't look."

Zhuang Luo's manager said, "...???"

At the filming location.

At that moment, Zhuang Luo was in terrible shape. Not only was his face deathly pale, his hands wouldn't stop shaking.

His fists were clenched so tightly that his fingernails nearly drew blood from his palms.

Even so, he still remembered to defend himself:

"You're lying! None of that ever happened!"

"I never said those things to you in private, and I certainly haven't been dating Weizhou for two years. Stop slandering us!"

He was furious, wishing he could go over and slap Xu Su twice.

At the same time, he deeply regretted it. He shouldn't have provoked Xu Su with those words earlier, making him blurt out everything without a care for the consequences!

Of course, he wasn't afraid of being exposed for encouraging Xu Su to boldly confess his love.

After all, no one else had been around when he did those things. As long as he refused to admit it, there was nothing Xu Su could do to him.

Besides, with his popularity, the public would certainly be more inclined to believe him, so he had nothing to worry about on that front.

But he had never imagined that Xu Su actually knew they had been dating for two years!

That was no small matter!

When he and Li Weizhou had officially announced their relationship, they had told the public they had been dating for two months, not two years!

And once that timeline was overturned with solid evidence, the public would certainly accuse them of deliberately maintaining a single persona to gain fans and rake in money.

That was a major taboo in the entertainment industry!

Several of their predecessors had suffered an overnight downfall over exactly that, never regaining any standing in the industry!

After all, fame attracted controversy. Any damaging information that surfaced would be maliciously blown out of proportion.

And damaging information involving deception like this would make it even harder to win the public's forgiveness!

So no matter what, he had to stand his ground today. He couldn't let Xu Su destroy his and Li Weizhou's careers!

Drawing a deep breath, he warned sternly:

"Xu Su, spreading rumors carries legal consequences. Don't destroy your future over a moment of anger!"

"If you apologize now and explain your nonsense to the viewers, I won't hold you accountable. Otherwise, I'll definitely have a lawyer sue you for maliciously spreading rumors!"
