Some people simply believed the rumors and began a frantic search for Chu Yu and Gu Jinhuai's past, hoping to find some evidence.
The marriage between the Gu and Chu families was already generating considerable buzz, but this sudden revelation amplified that, pushing the popularity of Gu Jinhuai and Chu Yu to unprecedented heights.
The Weibo platform, which is usually known for its stable servers, has surprisingly shown signs of lag and crashes.
Weibo headquarters backstage.
The professional programmers are also working overtime urgently.
"The number of users flooding into Weibo in a short period of time has severely overloaded the servers," the programmer calmly reported to his superiors.
The moment he finished speaking, Weibo crashed.
All Weibo users online simultaneously were prompted by the software and received a notification stating that "[The programmers are working overtime to restore the status quo]".
Netizens:??
Normally, when any software crashes, people come directly to Weibo to check.
But unexpectedly, Weibo crashed on its own one day.
With nowhere else to go, netizens could only return to their respective WeChat groups.
[Goodness, Weibo crashed. Could it be because of that revelation about President Gu and Chu Yu?]
[I guess so. This revelation is too exaggerated. If it's true, then my impression of President Gu and Chu Yu will completely collapse...]
[That leaked story is so melodramatic, how could it be true? Besides, given President Gu and Chu Yu's character, they wouldn't do something like that, right?]
[Sigh, whether it's true or not, we'll know once President Gu's ex-girlfriend comes out and explains.]
So, who exactly is President Gu's ex-girlfriend?
Because Weibo was temporarily down, netizens could only frantically shout in WeChat groups.
At this moment, news of Weibo crashing quickly reached Chu Yu's ears.
Chu Yu, who slept soundly from last night until noon today, had no idea what had happened outside.
Chu Yu touched his hair, looking at a hot topic being discussed in a WeChat group.
[Rumor has it! Someone discovered that President Gu's ex-girlfriend is actually a disabled but determined girl from a poor family. She won President Gu with her kind and innocent nature, thus gaining President Gu favor.]
[Your information is unreliable. My cousin's younger brother's older cousin works at the Gu Group. She said that a few years ago, President Gu brought a woman in her thirties back to the company, and she's very likely President Gu ex-girlfriend.]
[You mean, President Gu woman who is younger?]
Chu Yu's lips twitched as he watched the discussion suddenly become more and more absurd.
About five minutes later, Weibo finally managed to fix the problem by working overtime.
Netizens began logging into Weibo one after another.
Upon entering Weibo, the hashtag # Gu Jinhuai # instantly attracted tens of millions of users.
Everyone was fiercely debating the possible candidates for Gu Jinhuai's ex-girlfriend.
Looking at the frenzy on Weibo caused by the revelation, Meng Fuyu smiled with satisfaction.
Everyone is now watching Gu Jinhuai's revelations.
Next, all he needs to do is wait for Gu Jinhuai's ex-girlfriend to show up, and then add some melodramatic plot twists between Gu Jinhuai, Chu Yu, and his ex-girlfriend, and the netizens' emotions will be completely captivated.
If his ex-girlfriend comes forward and provides concrete evidence against Gu Jinhuai and Chu Yu...
Then Meng Fuyu wouldn't need to intervene, and everything could proceed smoothly.
If his ex-girlfriend helps clarify the rumors and says that Gu Jinhuai and Chu Yu are innocent.
He then steered the narrative towards the idea that his ex-girlfriend had been bribed by the Gu and Chu families.
In short, no matter what happens later, Meng Fuyu will ensure that public opinion firmly suppresses Gu Jinhuai and Chu Yu, and will absolutely not allow their two families to marry smoothly.
Meng Fuyu glanced at the time and instructed his assistant, "It's about time. Have the other media outlets publish their stories as well."
The assistant nodded quickly and went to do it.
Currently, only Luhua News Agency has broken the news about Gu Jinhuai, so people are bound to remain skeptical.
However, if more and more media outlets subsequently report the same news, then even if it's false information, it will create the illusion that it's true.
Chapter 75
Before long, various media websites simultaneously released information about Gu Jinhuai's ex-girlfriend.
This further boosted the popularity of Gu Jinhuai and Chu Yu to new heights.
At this moment, at the Chu Family villa.
Unlike the noisy outside world, inside the Chu Family's tea room, Gu Jinhuai was quietly learning the art of tea from Chu Tingnian.
"How are you? Feeling bored?" Chu Tingnian put down the tea set and looked up at Gu Jinhuai across from him.
The tea-making process alone took more than forty minutes.
This is truly agonizing for people who lack patience.
Gu Jinhuai simply smiled politely, " With President Chu personally teaching the tea ceremony, how could it be boring?"
Chu Tingnian didn't say anything more, but after spending time together today, he did feel less hostile towards the man who was about to take his daughter away.
As parents, all they really want is for their children to find a good home.
Gu Jinhuai's abilities, character, and appearance seem to be quite good, and he is certainly qualified to be with Chu Yu.
Just as the two were enjoying a harmonious moment, Chu Tingnian's assistant suddenly rushed in, breaking their silence.
" President Chu." The assistant walked over, glanced at Gu Jinhuai, and then said nothing more.
Chu Tingnian picked up his teacup, looked up, and said, "It's alright, just get to the point."
It seems she no longer intends to avoid talking to Gu Jinhuai.
The assistant hesitated for a moment.
After all, what he was about to say was the news about Gu Jinhuai's ex-girlfriend that was currently circulating online.
It was a little awkward to say it directly to Gu Jinhuai's face.
