Female Partner Became Popular in a Love Show - Chapter 106

Some of Cheng Tianya’s fans, while reading the comments, were so angry their hands were shaking, but couldn’t help feeling a bit doubtful: Why hasn’t Yaya come out to comfort them? Does her manager really think they were wrong?

In the comments, some of Cheng Tianya’s fans were still struggling to defend her, but their comments were quickly drowned out by others.

The manager looked at the direction of the online comments and slumped into his chair.

He thought, why did he believe Cheng Tianya’s confident words back then, thinking she could keep the fans loyal without any issues?

This farce alarmed all of Cheng Tianya’s collaborators.

With the current strict crackdown, Cheng Tianya’s actions were almost a direct challenge to the authorities. Unlike last time with Ruan Qiu, this time Cheng Tianya was almost hitting a red line. If Cheng Tianya couldn’t handle this properly, they would have to reconsider their collaborations with her.

The exhausted manager dealt with one collaborator after another, and in the face of online comments, he could only play dead. Protecting Cheng Tianya was the most important thing; as for the issue of backstabbing fans, he could only hope that Cheng Tianya, as she claimed, could keep her fans fiercely loyal, and that Zhou Ping was just a special exception.

Ruan Qiu also saw this Weibo post.

She still couldn’t understand why Cheng Tianya had such a powerful influence, making her fans go crazy for her.

While Ruan Qiu was lost in thought, Sister Lin called, excitedly saying, “Ruan, Cheng Tianya deserves this, hahaha!”

The thought of Ruan Qiu soon being able to crush Cheng Tianya made Sister Lin extremely excited. “Since you joined this dating show, good things have been happening one after another. Why don’t we ask the director if there’s a plan for a second season, and we’ll participate again?”

Ruan Qiu thought for a moment. “Better not.”

In a distant room, the director, who was brainstorming new plot ideas, sneezed loudly, inexplicably feeling like he had dodged a bullet.

Although Sister Lin felt a bit regretful, she didn’t try to persuade Ruan Qiu further and happily continued, “And Zhou Ping, she did a great job! Since she no longer supports Cheng Tianya and even seems to dislike her, I’m planning to offer her some legal assistance so she can sue those who doxxed her. After all, she indirectly helped us a lot this time, so it’s only fair to repay her.”

“Sure,” Ruan Qiu nodded. “I wonder if she’ll continue to be an extra in the show.”

After chatting with Sister Lin, Ruan Qiu responded to other messages one after another.

Her “feud” with Cheng Tianya was almost common knowledge. Qi Yingying sent a long congratulatory message, Jiang Yan inquired about her, and even Ye Xingyu, who had been silent before, sent a private message on Weibo, subtly wishing her well.

Bai Jinyao remained silent. Ruan Qiu knew she was friends with Cheng Tianya and might even be on the same side, so she didn’t mind.

She didn’t want to interact too much with the female lead anyway.

However, among all these well-wishers, Xue Wu was not present.

Ruan Qiu felt a bit disappointed. She wondered if Xue Wu hadn’t seen the news online. Was he taking a nap? Surely he wasn’t pretending to be unaware on purpose.

Lying on the sofa, she rolled over with her phone, stared at her chat interface with Xue Wu for a while, then decided not to dwell on it and continued watching TV.

The online situation didn’t directly involve her, so she wouldn’t respond to the netizens’ greetings at this time.

Cheng Tianya’s PR team was working hard to remove the trending topic, but it would quickly be brought back by netizens. Many people, upon learning of the incident, immediately turned to their friends and family who were Cheng Tianya fans, trying to persuade them not to foolishly support her anymore. Some even took drastic measures, throwing away everything related to Cheng Tianya, forcing those who were still stubborn to reflect.

Unknown to Cheng Tianya, her fans’ loyalty was plummeting. Their affection for her was on the brink, needing just one more storm like that day to wake them up completely. The fan group Cheng Tianya had painstakingly built, as solid as a mountain, would crumble and disappear.

Meanwhile, Bai Jinyao was holding her phone, feeling dazed.

She had an ad shoot, but after seeing everything Zhou Ping exposed, she was not in the right state. She kept forgetting her lines and couldn’t control her expressions, making the shoot impossible to continue, so she had to rest.

Whispers surrounded her. Even if she couldn’t hear what they were saying, she could guess they were talking about Cheng Tianya.

Bai Jinyao had held on to the last bit of hope, hoping the things Zhou Ping exposed had nothing to do with Cheng Tianya. But when she saw the screenshots of the group chat where Cheng Tianya had posted messages, she couldn’t hold her phone steady, her face turning pale as paper.

She had read Cheng Tianya’s manager’s response.

She suddenly felt like laughing.

Others might believe the manager’s words, thinking those messages were really posted by the assistant and not Cheng Tianya herself. But she knew very well that Cheng Tianya was the only one using that private account, and the familiar tone, wording, and emojis in the messages were definitely not from the assistant.

When Bai Jinyao’s assistant and manager saw her laughing and crying, they quickly took her to the car, away from others’ sight, not daring to say a word for fear of upsetting her further.

Bai Jinyao had experienced the most painful betrayal of her life. Shaking, she took a deep breath to calm down, took out her backup phone, transferred all the chat records and everything related to Cheng Tianya as evidence, then deleted all of Cheng Tianya’s contacts and blocked her.

She could no longer trust Cheng Tianya. The past happiness seemed like it was imagined. Bai Jinyao dared not leave any evidence behind, fearing Cheng Tianya would retaliate against her just like she did to others.

When she opened Weibo, her finger hovered over the “unfollow” button, but she ultimately withdrew her hand, deciding to leave a final semblance of dignity between them. Another reason was that she couldn’t publicly break with Cheng Tianya just yet.

Bai Jinyao didn’t dare send a message to Ruan Qiu, feeling ashamed of her previous unwavering support for Cheng Tianya. She felt just as foolish as Cheng Tianya’s fans and couldn’t face Ruan Qiu.
