Therefore, Gu Jinhuai and Chu Tingnian remained silent until the person behind the scheme believed that Gu Jinhuai truly had no other options, at which point he completely revealed his true intentions.
Many of Meng Fuyu's plans were aimed at the marriage alliance between the Gu and Chu families. So when he found that Gu Jinhuai had not made any clarification or taken any further action, Meng Fuyu relaxed his vigilance and directly contacted a lot of online trolls and marketing accounts to stir up trouble, trying to use public opinion pressure to stop the two families from continuing the marriage alliance.
However, it is precisely because of his relaxed vigilance that a large amount of cyberbullying and personal attacks left online were left by the online trolls hired by Meng Fuyu.
Following this, the Chu Group also issued the same clarification statement.
Neither side showed any leniency, and both sides swiftly collected evidence and sent it to the police for trial.
This move immediately reversed public opinion online.
The haters who had previously been openly and subtly mocking and insulting Chu Yu for being a mistress were so frightened that they quickly deleted all their previous comments, fearing that they would be targeted by both groups.
[This is terrifying! I didn't do anything, I just commented out of curiosity. I hope I won't be sued for this?]
[I just saw that many marketing accounts that posted this breaking news have started deleting their Weibo, so it seems like this is quite serious.]
[Oh no, is it too late to apologize now?]
Don't think these netizens are panicking; the marketing accounts and bloggers are the ones who are panicking the most right now.
When the news first broke, many marketing accounts, eager to capitalize on the hype, all joined in criticizing Chu Yu and Gu Jinhuai.
Since there hadn't been any news for the past two days, everyone assumed everything was fine, so they casually mentioned it a few more times.
Who would have thought that things would escalate to such a serious situation as issuing a lawyer's letter today?
After the statements from the Gu and Chu families were released, Weibo seemed to suddenly enter a cooling-off period. All the marketing accounts and bloggers, big and small, were frantically checking whether their previous posts had mentioned the Gu and Chu families. Even current affairs and trending news stopped being updated.
"Have the group's legal department continue to follow up on this matter," Gu Jinhuai instructed the person on the other end of the phone before quickly hanging up.
Gu Jinhuai tossed his phone to his assistant, then bent down to straighten his tie before turning and walking toward the main hall of the banquet.
At this moment, Fang Lanzhi on the stage was still speaking seriously.
"This is the joint statement issued by the Chu Group and Gu Group, and it is also the first purpose of today's banquet. We hope that everyone will refrain from further discussion of such rumors; otherwise, you will all be responsible for any losses this matter may cause to our two groups."
The guests below swallowed hard, intimidated by Fang Lanzhi's powerful aura.
Many people have even begun to reflect on whether they have made any overly serious personal attacks online.
If the Gu Group and Chu Group were to jointly issue a lawyer's letter, they would lose all face.
The scene fell silent for a moment.
Wen Zhixin and Meng Fuyu were completely stunned by this sudden turn of events.
Logically speaking, a normal person would have clarified the situation on the very first day the news broke. Who would have thought that Gu Jinhuai and Chu Yu would wait two days to collect evidence before issuing a clarification statement?
This wave of events will inevitably lead to the exposure of any online trolls involved.
At that point, wouldn't Meng Fuyu's identity also be exposed?!
When Meng Fuyu thought of this, his face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
He clenched his fist, veins bulging.
So that's what Gu Jinhuai was planning.
At this point, Fang Lanzhi began her speech to advance the next step of the process.
"Now, let's move on to the next part of the banquet's agenda: the matter of Gu Jinhuai's ex-girlfriend, which is currently being hotly discussed online."
These words once again captured the attention of all the guests.
The reason why the entire revelation incident has aroused such a huge public discussion is that one of the key figures is Gu Jinhuai's ex-girlfriend.
Everyone originally thought that under such a huge public outcry, Gu Jinhuai's ex-girlfriend would also step forward.
Two days passed, and his ex-girlfriend still hadn't made a move.
Many people online have begun to speculate that Gu Jinhuai's ex-girlfriend may have been jointly controlled and imprisoned by the Gu Group and Chu Group, which is why the public outcry against the marriage alliance between the two families has grown stronger.
At this moment, the large screen behind Fang Lanzhi began to change.
Previously, the movie screen showed a photo of Chu Yu and Gu Jinhuai wearing their school uniforms from their student days.
Now that the change has occurred, the big screen has begun to display a series of intimate photos of the two people on a loop.
That's right, it's about intimate photos!
"Wait a minute, am I hallucinating? Why do so many of these photos look like they were taken when Chu Yu and President Gu were young?"
"But weren't there rumors online that Chu Yu and Gu Jinhuai got married shortly after meeting? How come there are so many photos of them together? They even look very intimate?"
"Help, I feel like everything that happened at today's banquet is so surreal."
The photos on the big screen quickly finished playing in a loop.
At this moment, Fang Lanzhi also walked onto the stage with a serious expression, "As you can see, my daughter and son-in-law have long been in love and have been together ever since. The rumors circulating online that my daughter was a third party in our relationship are absolutely outrageous."
All the guests. "??"
Chu Yu and Gu Jinhuai have been together for a long time?
When did this happen?
How come we haven't heard a single word about it?
The guests were already somewhat taken aback by what had happened.
What surprised them even more was that Fang Lanzhi's next words were even more shocking.
"That's right, the ex-girlfriend of Gu Jinhuai that's been widely rumored online is our Xiao Yu. So I want to emphasize again that my daughter has no reason to interfere in her own life. I also ask all entertainment media to be careful with their comments, after all, our Chu Group's legal department is not just for show."
