Looking at her like that, Chu Xiao felt a chill run down her spine and quickly said, "That's not what I meant. I just wanted to say that things aren't what you think... Or we can explain it to each other privately."
As he spoke, he walked over to the cameraman and tried to block the camera lens.
He knew perfectly well that they had been caught red-handed, and Yan Xuelan was always clever, so all his explanations seemed rather weak. It would be better to find a way to turn off the live stream first.
However, the photographer was no pushover either; he had honed his skills through years of shooting and nimbly dodged him in a few quick movements.
Seeing Chu Xiao's expression, Yan Xuelan could easily see through his intentions.
These two people can be shameless, but she still wants to be a big star, so for the sake of her image, she can't push them too far and put on a show of beating a drowning dog.
Fortunately, the audience has seen most of what they needed to see, and it's time to stop the live stream.
She waved to the cameraman to move the lens away from the two of them, then explained to the audience, "Sorry for the commotion, everyone. Due to this unexpected situation, today's live stream will have to end now."
The photographer obediently turned off the camera equipment. Although he was still reluctant to photograph the scumbag's ugly appearance, Yan Xuelan was the main character and the victim of this incident, so they naturally had to respect Yan Xuelan's opinion.
However, while the on-site farce ended, the online buzz had only just begun.
While only a minority of people were watching the live streams before, those who consistently watched them were serious gossip lovers.
The moment the live stream ended, someone uploaded the entire "caught in the act" scene online. Given that the person involved was Yan Xuelan, a top-tier actress, the hype naturally surged, quickly becoming a trending topic.
[Even though I'm a hater of Yan Xuelan, I can't help but feel sorry for her; she's really pitiful.]
[Someone has just uncovered their alternate accounts. The guy doesn't post much on Weibo, but Yan Yulan Weibo a lot, acting like a lovesick young girl, and it's been going on for years. This couldn't possibly be a spur-of-the-moment thing.]
[ Yan Yulan is indeed foolish, but she's young. Judging from her Weibo, Chu Xiao was the one who showed interest in her first. Chu Xiao is six or seven years older than her, so I think it's more likely that he seduced her first.]
[There's no need to argue about who started it first, both are terrible anyway. Sister-in-law/brother-in-law romance novels are actually quite entertaining in posts, but in reality...]
With so many plot twists now, shouldn't we wait for the dust to settle a bit more?
[How else could it fly? The parties involved have already admitted it. I wonder if some of them are sympathizing with the mistress or the cheating husband.]
Most netizens are righteous, and given the pressure they face daily, they enjoy acting as righteous police online, judging Chu Xiao and Yan Yulan. The two quickly became representatives of internet scumbags and bitches, and even unrelated videos became the subject of memes among netizens.
The parents of both the Yan and Chu families were older and didn't use the internet much, only occasionally watching short videos. However, the news was so sensational that they inevitably found out, and both sets of parents were instantly furious.
The two families were neighbors, so Chu's parents immediately decided to go next door to apologize to Yan's parents and also to see if there was any misunderstanding.
However, when they arrived at the Yan family's door, they rang the doorbell but waited for a long time without anyone coming to open the door.
Helpless, Chu's father could only take out his phone and dial Yan's father's number.
The beeping sound lasted for about a minute. Just when Chu's father thought his old friend was really angry and wouldn't answer the phone, a familiar voice came from the other end.
But the voice was different from its usual friendly tone; it was filled with anger.
"You still dare to come looking for us? My biggest regret in this life is getting too close to your family, letting your son ruin my two daughters."
Although Yan Yulan also had some issues in this matter, her parents were biased. Although their younger daughter wasn't very sensible growing up, she hadn't done anything too outrageous. Like many netizens, they believed that Chu Xiao was seducing their younger daughter and toying with the feelings between the two sisters.
Hearing his old friend's angry roar, Chu's father felt a surge of anger, but knowing they were in the wrong, he patiently explained.
"Old Yan, you're still as short-tempered as ever. None of the children are back yet, and we only have their side of the story online. Let's wait until they get back and hear what they have to say. Besides, this news isn't good for the children; we need to work together to minimize the impact."
"Doesn't Xuelan have a dedicated PR team? Could you ask her PR team to help explain this?"
Father Yan was almost laughing in anger when he heard Father Chu's words. It seemed that Chu Xiao had not only harmed his two daughters, but also wanted Xuelan to clear his name and clean up his mess?
He sneered, " Chu Xiuguo, I've known you for over thirty years, and this is the first time I've realized you're such a shameless person. It seems Chu Xiao inherited your shamelessness to be able to do such things! Do you take me for a fool?"
Father Chu was naturally displeased at being humiliated like this.
" Yan Ming, go look online yourself. Your youngest daughter is being slammed online. Chu Xiao is a man, after all. These kinds of scandals are harmless to men; they might only affect him temporarily. But what about your youngest daughter? With this kind of reputation, do you think any man would dare to take her on?!"
Mr. Yan felt as if his heart had been gripped tightly. He knew all too well that reputation was far more important to women than to men, and Yan Yulan was the one most affected by this incident. He was both angry and worried about his youngest daughter.
