"Lu Jinnian?" Qiao Anhao asked in a soft voice. Out of the top ten headlines on Weibo, six of them were about Lu Jinnian. Instinctively, she asked, "What happened to him? Why are there so many headlines and trending topics? "
"Qiao Qiao, I really don't want to talk about you, but do you work in the entertainment industry? You don't even watch entertainment news! " Zhao Meng's tone sounded a little disappointed, and then she smoothly explained the whole story to Qiao Anhao. "When your scandal was at its peak, someone suddenly released a scandal about Mr. Lu, saying that he was the illegitimate son of the recently acquired Xu Enterprise!"
"Qiao Qiao, to be honest, I've known Mr. Lu for so many years, and we can be considered high school classmates. I always thought that he was an orphan, I never imagined that he was Xu Jiamu's half-brother!"
"But, Qiao Qiao, I don't know who was behind Mr. Lu, but someone actually started to gossip about his mother."
As Zhao Meng spoke, Qiao Anhao had already clicked into the trending topics on Weibo.
The internet was practically in an uproar. Everyone's discussions were much more interesting than Zhao Meng's narration. Over the years, Lu Jinnian had gained quite a number of fans. Of course, the more popular a person was, the more people hated them, so fans, passersby, and haters fought fiercely. Even verified accounts, marketing accounts, and online commenters started to ridicule him, causing the news that had been going on for almost twenty-four hours to heat up, with no signs of dying down.
"Qiao Qiao, I really didn't know that Mr. Lu's mother was actually a celebrity. She acted in some R-rated movies, and even had a video posted online. Also... his mother seemed to have been a prostitute in a hotel... I feel sorry for Mr. Lu."
Zhao Meng was still speaking on the other end of the video. Qiao Anhao's fingers trembled as she continuously swiped across the screen. Seeing the netizens scolding, supporting, and ridiculing Lu Jinnian, her heart ached indescribably.
"Qiao Qiao, it's getting late, I can't talk to you anymore. My boyfriend is calling me to sleep. Oh right, can you contact Mr. Lu? He couldn't find you before, so he came to my place a few times. The first time he came, it seemed like he hadn't slept all night. His clothes were wrinkled and dirty, and his eyes were red. He looked especially dispirited. Honestly, I've known Lu Jinnian for so many years, and in my heart, he's always been the epitome of perfection. I've never seen him like that before. The moment, he saw me, he grabbed my shoulder and asked me where Qiao Qiao Qiao was, can you tell me? That tone of his … I feel pity for him, as if he's a helpless child. "
As she said this, Zhao Meng made a sniffling motion, then said "Bye bye". Just as she was about to end the video call, Zhao Meng seemed to have thought of something. She paused for a moment, then said to Qiao Anhao, "Qiao Qiao, to be honest, the moment Mr. Lu came to find me, I really felt that he loved you, the kind of love that he really, really loved."
After Zhao Meng finished speaking, she hung up the video call without any hesitation.
