How can you ascend to heaven when you are a star?

Chapter 240 Hot Search

Sunday morning.

Zhang Wen suddenly woke up from his sleep.

He turned his head and looked at the sleeping women on both sides, and was a little confused for a moment.

That’s not right!

Didn't Bai Lu and I agree yesterday to wait for Gao Yue to fall asleep and then do some of our favorite things? Why did he fall asleep in the end?

Zhang Wen thought about it carefully, but he couldn't remember who fell asleep first, let alone when they fell asleep. He just vaguely remembered counting to more than 5,300.

During this period, he pretended to turn over many times to test Gao Yue, but each time ended in failure. The other party either held his hand or hugged his arm, as if she couldn't leave him.

But every time when he wanted to go one step further, the other party would stop him immediately, which made him seriously suspect that the other party was deliberately trying to mess with his mentality.

Zhang Wen looked at the clock on the wall and saw that it was still a dozen minutes before 6 o'clock.

It's still early, we can definitely do something.

He gently pulled his left arm out of Gao Yue's hands. Seeing that the other party did not wake up, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then moved his right arm that was held by Bai Lu.

One, two, three...

Bai Lu opened her eyes drowsily in her sleep. When she saw the man beside her who had woken up, she instinctively wanted to ask the time. However, after seeing the man blinking his eyes frantically, she woke up and swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

Something!

Something big is happening!
Bai Lu pursed his lips tightly, a hint of excitement in his eyes.

What is tacit understanding?

Tacit understanding means that you can understand each other’s thoughts with just a glance without saying anything.

Bai Lu carefully lifted the quilt and got out of bed quietly. When he reached the end of the bed, he stopped and nodded to the man on the bed, signaling him to hurry up.

Zhang Wen nodded gently, then slowly sat up from the quilt. The whole process was as if it was at 0.5 times the speed. Even the God of Gamblers' appearance was not so slow.

For him now, speed is not important. What is important is not to wake Gao Yue up. Once the other party wakes up, all the previous efforts will be wasted.

The distance from the bed to the door was less than five meters, but it took Zhang Wen five minutes.

Fortunately, the ending was perfect. Gao Yue kept her eyes closed from beginning to end and was not woken up.

Bai Lu, who was waiting outside, saw Zhang Wen coming out, and impatiently opened his arms and rushed over, wrapping his hands around the back of the man's neck.

Zhang Wen held Bai Lu's buttocks with both hands and lifted him up from the ground.

He did not go to Bai Lu's bedroom, but went straight downstairs and into the kitchen.

On the one hand, this place is far away from the stairs, and even if Gao Yue goes downstairs, he will not be able to see what is going on in the kitchen; on the other hand, if Gao Yue asks, he can find a suitable excuse to deal with it and will not be speechless.

"They clearly love each other, why does it act like they're having an affair?" Zhang Wen said in a low voice.

"Who made you so handsome and outstanding that even Sister Yue was fascinated by you?" Bai Lu said with a smile.

Zhang Wen was completely speechless.

I'm handsome, am I wrong? I deserve it for showing off?
He looked at the woman holding the cupboard and asked, "Aren't you jealous?"

"Jealous? There's never a shortage of suitors around outstanding men. It's normal. If I were the only woman by your side, I'd have to wonder if I'd chosen the wrong person." Bai Lu smiled with his eyes closed and said, "Even if I'm jealous, it's Sister Yue who's jealous of me."

Zhang Wen blinked. It was said that the entertainment industry was open-minded. Now it seemed that this was indeed the case. Even the ways of thinking about issues concerning men and women were different.

Just when he was about to reward Bai Lu, he suddenly heard the sound of a door opening upstairs.

not good!

He quickly picked up Bai Lu, rushed to the bathroom, threw him in, and said, "Gao Yue is awake." Then he hurried back to the kitchen, and then the sound of "ding ding dang dang" of cutting vegetables was heard.

After a while, a figure appeared outside the kitchen door.

Zhang Wen saw it, but pretended not to see it until he went to the refrigerator to get eggs, then he showed a surprised expression.

"Eh? Are you awake? When did you wake up?"

"Just woke up." Gao Yue said gently, but his eyes were darting around as if looking for something.

Zhang Wen knew who the other party was looking for, but he didn't tell him. Instead, he said embarrassedly, "Did I wake you up by chopping vegetables too loudly? Sorry."

Gao Yue quickly shook her head when she heard this, and stopped looking around. She looked at the man and said, "No, you didn't wake me up. I'm used to getting up early."

"Oh, that's good." Zhang Wen said after hearing this: "Breakfast will take another forty minutes, you can go back and take a nap."

"I'm not sleepy. By the way, is there anything I can help you with?" Gao Yue asked.

She really wasn't sleepy, because when she opened her eyes and saw that there was no one around, she instantly became awake.

"No need, I can handle it by myself." Zhang Wen said with a smile.

A person?

Gao Yue was stunned after hearing this. Minglu was clearly not in bed either. Could it be that these two people were not together? Was she overthinking it?

She walked out of the kitchen and was about to look in other rooms when she saw Bai Lu coming out of the bathroom.

"Bai Lu? What are you doing here?" Gao Yue asked while looking at the other person.

"Sister Yue, what can you do in the bathroom? Of course, you need to take a dump." Bai Lu said naturally after hearing this.

Gao Yue was slightly stunned, then realized that her question was wrong, and changed the subject: "I meant why did you get up so early?"

"Oh, my stomach feels uncomfortable." Bai Lu rubbed his stomach with his hands.

"Are you okay? Do you need to go to the hospital?"

"No, it's much better now."

"That's good." Gao Yue finally felt relieved.

But whether this "good" was because Bai Lu was fine or because Bai Lu was not with Zhang Wen, only she knew.

Bai Lu didn't say anything else and turned to walk upstairs. However, after reaching the second floor, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by a look of depression.

It’s so uncomfortable to feel neither up nor down!

Seeing that what she was worried about did not happen, Gao Yue breathed a sigh of relief, then sat down at the dining table. While watching the man busy in the kitchen, she picked up her mobile phone and read the news.

However, when she flipped to the entertainment section, her brows immediately furrowed. She saw the following bold text: Bai Lu went out intimately with a mysterious man, possibly exposing a new relationship. A new relationship?
Gao Yue couldn't help but look up at the man in the kitchen. Could it be that during her time abroad, Bai Lu and this man were secretly photographed by paparazzi when they were out? That was too careless.

She quickly clicked in and read the contents carefully.

Love has a huge impact on an artist's popularity. Although netizens and fans are keen on supporting the couple, when the artist officially announces the relationship, a large number of fans will leave, and in serious cases, it may even affect the choice of investors.

The news begins the same as always.

Recently, a media reporter happened to see the new generation star Bai Lu and a mysterious man in a shopping mall. They behaved intimately, talking and laughing, and it was suspected that they had started a new relationship.

Two photos are also attached below.

Gao Yue took a closer look and realized that this was the photo of several people going to the underground parking lot to get in the car to leave after attending a brand event yesterday.

However, there were only Bai Lu and the "mysterious man" in the photo, but not her and her assistant Zhao Linlin.

The so-called mysterious man is Zhang Wen.

Gao Yue's expression turned cold.

What bastard filmed this? Isn't this misleading netizens?

Behind the photo, there are a few paragraphs of text, which briefly describe Bai Lu’s previous relationship with Chen Xueqiu, and also include a photo of Bai Lu and Chen Xueqiu from a long time ago.

This photo taken by Gao Yueji shows Bai Lu and Chen Xueqi attending a press conference together when they first collaborated.

Celebrity romances have always attracted much attention from netizens, so there are already many comments following the news.

"Bai Lu and Chen Xueqiu are such a perfect couple. When did they break up? How come I've never heard of it?"

"Yesterday I saw Bai Lu and Chen Xueqiu attending an event together. Could Bai Lu be two-timing?"

"I feel sorry for Chen Xueqiu."

"I didn't expect Bai Lu to be such a person. From a fan to a hater."

"..."

Gao Yue looked through the comments and the hundreds of likes he received, his face growing darker and darker.

As a professional agent, as soon as I saw the content of the news, I knew that someone was deliberately discrediting Bai Lu, otherwise why would they cut other people out of the photo?
Moreover, compared with the exposure of the relationship, the impact of playing two women at the same time on Bai Lu is greater.

This is cheating!

Cheating is a devastating blow to a female star who is on the rise in her career.

She seemed to suddenly remember something and quickly logged into Weibo. Sure enough, the news about Bai Lu's suspected new relationship had already become a hot search on Weibo, and many accounts were suspecting that Bai Lu was two-timing.

This is clearly an organized and premeditated smear campaign.

Who is it?
She thought about it carefully. There were too many actresses of the same type as Bai Lu. Anyone of them could stab her in the back. After all, if there was one less actress of the same type, the other actresses would get a bigger share.

Moreover, the news that Bai Lu will play the leading role in director Han Xiaohua's new drama was revealed some time ago, which inevitably made some actresses jealous. After all, which actress would not want to play the leading role of director Han?
"Sister Yue, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so gloomy?" Bai Lu came and sat down opposite Gao Yue. He looked relaxed on the surface, but he was a little nervous in his heart.

Could it be that Sister Yue saw the intimate scene with Teacher Zhang in the kitchen just now?

Impossible!

Gao Yue didn't say anything and just handed the phone over.

After Bai Lu took it and looked at it, she immediately felt relieved. She thought it was a photo of her and Teacher Zhang being intimate, but it turned out to be a photo of the two of them in the parking lot.

Wait, a suspected relationship is exposed?
She immediately checked the specific content of the news, but the more she read, the worse her expression became, and the angrier she became, until she finally burst into swear words.

"Bullshit, who is two-timing? What's the suspected new relationship? I don't have an old relationship at all, okay? Sister Yue, you know it best." Bai Lu said to Gao Yue who was sitting opposite him.

"Of course I know. Have you offended anyone recently?" Gao Yue asked.

"No, I've been going to a special education school during the day to experience life there, and going home to learn sign language at night. Even if I wanted to offend anyone, I don't have the time." Bai Lu said with a wry smile. Then, he suddenly remembered something, slammed his hand on the table and said, "It's Chen Xueqiu. It must be that bastard Chen Xueqiu. He wanted to ask me out for dinner yesterday, but I refused. Since then, he has been pestering me repeatedly. There's no one else besides him."

Gao Yue narrowed her eyes slightly. She was also present yesterday and naturally saw Chen Xueqiu's persistence in pursuing Bai Lu. In the end, it was Zhang Wen who helped Bai Lu get rid of Chen Xueqiu.

Just now she thought it was Bai Lu's competitor, but now after hearing what he said, the possibility that it was Chen Xueqiu increased sharply.

"This bastard has always wanted to hype me up as a couple. When I disagreed, he posted some misleading content and even hired some online influencers to hype me up. I didn't expect him to go even further..."

"What's wrong? Who is asking for more?" Zhang Wen came out of the kitchen carrying two bowls of porridge.

"Chen Xueqi!" Bai Lu said angrily, then handed over the phone.

Zhang Wen glanced at the text content and finally set his eyes on the two secretly taken photos.

This angle...

Isn’t this the place where the follower was hiding that he found in the parking lot when he was leaving?
Could it be that the person who took the secret photo at that time was just to fabricate this news?
How poisonous!

"Bai Lu, are you sure it's Chen Xueqi?" Gao Yue asked. If she was sure, she would fight back.

"It must be him." Bai Lu said gritting his teeth.

"Indeed, when I was leaving the parking lot yesterday, I saw one of Chen Xueqiu's assistants acting suspiciously. But since he was alone at the time, I didn't take it seriously." Zhang Wen said this, looking at Gao Yue and asking, "How should this situation be handled? Is there anything I can do?"

He knew that Bai Lu was in the rising stage of his career and absolutely could not let his career be delayed because of a love affair, let alone ruined by an unfounded cheating.

This is not just Bai Lu's business, it's his business as well.

In addition to their close comradeship, the other is now the heroine of the TV series "Perfect Days". If something happens to the heroine at this time, the filming of the TV series will also be affected.

You should know that there is less than half a month left before the filming of the TV series starts.

In the past, whenever he went out to eat with Bai Lu, he would be particularly careful to check the skill panels of the people around him to ensure that he would not be followed or secretly photographed by paparazzi. He never expected that Chen Xueqi, as a star, would be so despicable.

Gao Yue thought for a moment, then said, "Today we'll be taking photos for a magazine. I'll have a reporter I know take candid photos of you. Of course, Zhao Shanshan and I will be in the photos too. We'll then post these photos online, replacing the old news with the new. Mr. Zhang, didn't you claim to be Bai Lu's bodyguard yesterday? The company will issue a clarification, clarifying your identity as a bodyguard."

"No problem, I'll fully cooperate." Zhang Wen said seriously, "By the way, there should be surveillance cameras in the underground parking lot. I'll go to the mall yesterday to get the surveillance footage to prove that it wasn't just Bai Lu and I at the time. It was a deliberate hype by the reporters."

"I'm going to post on Weibo to clarify the relationship between Chen Xueqi and me, so that he won't use me to manipulate me in the future, this bastard..." Bai Lu said hatefully.

I didn’t clarify it before because I was too lazy to care. Now that I have someone I like, if I don’t clarify it, won’t Teacher Zhang misunderstand me?

"Don't worry, wait until I'm done, then you can post a clarification on Weibo," Gao Yue said coldly. "I also have some information about his attempts to hype you up, and I'll have someone post it all. I want him to know the consequences of provoking us."
