Chapter 149: Unbelievable, the Romance Between My Dad and Me Has Been Exposed

What the hell!

My romantic relationship with my dad has been exposed?

What a preposterous piece of absolute nonsense!

Lai Jian directly flung a giant, thumb-sized post link at her: "See for yourself!!!"

Title: Movie Emperor Lu Drops Work to Rush Back to Capital, Tortuously Spends 8 Hours, All to Have Lunch with the Nation's Daughter!!

Sub-headline: [No fan wars, no bickering][Calm analysis][My identity as an 8-year Ting Xiangxue fan can be verified by checking my profile][Weibo ID is the same][Those accusing me of generating traffic for clout can get lost, an 8-year Ting Xiangxue fan is truly immune to your smear campaigns] Is the Movie Emperor meeting his destined soulmate? Or is the Movie Emperor being emotionally manipulated by a young actress using him as a stepping stone?

——Let's straighten out the timeline first. The Big Boss departed from the capital last Tuesday to go into the mountains for poverty alleviation and charity work. Some sisters crossed paths with the Big Boss, and Ting Xiangxue was among the staff members, which can be verified on Weibo. Yesterday, the Big Boss started shooting early in the morning until noon, originally scheduled for a half-hour break, but the Big Boss didn't show up again until evening.

When the Big Boss returned to the capital, and then flew back from the capital, he was recognized by passersby and fans all the way. The Weibo IDs of the passersby and fans have been pixelated, and the screenshots are as follows. jpg.jpg.jpg.

Now let's briefly talk about the matter of the Big Boss dining with Bai Lu. According to a netizen's inside scoop, the link to the post is attached. Basically, there was a customer who booked the restaurant half a month in advance, and originally planned to propose to his girlfriend during the meal, but upon arriving at the restaurant, he was told the place had been completely booked out for a private event.

The customer really wanted to propose on his girlfriend's birthday, so he went to negotiate with the restaurant. The restaurant offered two solutions: reschedule to the next day with the meal on the house, or pay fifty thousand yuan in compensation. The customer was extremely furious and staked out the entrance of the restaurant, wanting to see who on earth had ruined his proposal. And then he saw the Nation's Daughter holding the Big Boss's arm as they walked into the restaurant.

The restaurant's name is omitted to avoid any suspicion of placing advertisements. Those in the know understand—Restaurant X is extremely difficult to reserve, serving only thirty guests a day.

So, an 8-hour journey involving both planes and buses, the Big Boss ditching work to return to the capital, just to share a meal with the Nation's Daughter?

The Big Boss's attitude toward work really goes without saying. He abandoned his work and flew back to the capital just to have a meal with his little girlfriend, and then tossed himself around making the round trip back—has the Big Boss lost his mind over romance? Or is the Nation's Daughter too manipulative, completely bewitching the Big Boss?

To be honest, as a casual fan leaning positively toward the Nation's Daughter, I haven't watched her works; I just know her background is quite pathetic. Lately, I keep seeing the Nation's Daughter hanging on the hot search list, which seems to have started when she signed with Yuxing Entertainment? Not entirely sure, I don't know much about her.

……

Bai Lu couldn't be bothered to read further and skipped straight to the comments at the very bottom.

The comments were sorted by highest likes.

——Having read the whole thing, I only want to ask two words: evidence.

——If there are no pictures, you're just talking out of your ass.

——The customer's exposé post has pretty high credibility. From the reservation to Restaurant X, the customer kept updating his activity status in real-time, including what preparations he made for the proposal.

——The problem is the gossiping customer only has his own mouth. He says he saw the Big Boss and the Nation's Daughter walking arm-in-arm into the restaurant, and you just believe it? Do you believe the gossiping customer, or do you believe the person you stan?

——Baiting post, reported.

——I suddenly doubt your identity as an 8-year Ting Xiangxue fan, seriously. Leaving aside the sensationalist title, just your narrative style screams marketing account. Besides, if you were truly a Ting Xiangxue, you shouldn't have posted this gossip; you should be protecting the Big Boss's relationship. Which Ting Xiangxue doesn't hope the Big Boss can find a good home? He's in his forties; is there a problem with him dating and having a girlfriend?

——Spot on, upstairs. The Big Boss is well into his forties, with zero scandals and zero relationships since his debut. Hasn't he done enough? What else do you want him to do? Stay chaste like a jade virgin for you his whole life? Or are you capable of marrying the Big Boss? If you've forgotten, go back and read it again: the Big Boss is an actor, an actor, an actor! Stop trying to bind him with the rules of traffic idols!! He has never marketed a single persona!!

——I'll just put it bluntly: even if the Big Boss were dating a pig, it would still have nothing to do with you. And you call yourself an 8-year veteran fan, hilarious. Real Ting Xiangxues are praying the Big Boss hurries up and dates, gets married, has kids, and goes on a parenting variety show, so he stops playing hide-and-seek with us damn it!

——Playing hide-and-seek is genuinely heartbreaking...

——If the Big Boss is really in a relationship, I only hope he gets married and has kids within a year. In three or four years, the Big Boss can take the kid on a variety show. A doting-dad Movie Emperor, isn't that amazing?!

——Are there really this many nine-year compulsory education dropouts? Did you graduate high school? Can you do reading comprehension? Get this straight: the original poster's point isn't that the Big Boss is dating; the point is that when the Big Boss dates, he drops his work entirely, ok?

——Good grief, the staff members posted on Weibo because they were worried about the poor conditions in the mountains and feared the Big Boss might be sick. In your mouth, it gets twisted into staff complaining that the Big Boss abandoned his work and ran off. Who on earth got a zero in reading comprehension?

——The staff members are practically heartbroken over the Big Boss; he's an absolute workaholic. Even the volunteer teachers posted online saying they wish the Big Boss wouldn't work himself to the bone during shoots. Fuck, I really can't tolerate this. You can smear Lu Yiting for being ugly if you want, but trying to smear the Movie Emperor's work ethic—you truly can't bring him down!!

——Smearing the Movie Emperor as ugly, are you sisters serious?

Bai Lu skimmed through the comments and felt at ease.

Her Ting Xiangxue sisters were simply the model fandom.

Not a single word was mentioned about her dad's scandal partner; they truly achieved the goal of neither pulling others down nor stepping on anyone, avoiding fan wars and bickering, remaining calm and restrained.

Yet what on earth was urging her dad to quickly get married and have kids, and what the hell was taking a kid on a variety show!

The post was trending intensely, instantly racking up tens of thousands of replies.

She logged into Weibo to take a look, and it wasn't even on the hot search list.

Originally thinking the company must have spent money to suppress it, she clicked into her dad's Super Topic square and sighed—well, she still had to praise her Ting Xiangxue sisters: forever the divine fandom.

Taking a closer look, it was still an old acquaintance.

——@Old_Lu_Collarbone_Mole: Work is here, work is here! Sisters, after waiting for so many years, we've finally ushered in this day! The Big Boss's relationship has been exposed!! Hurry, hurry, take your positions. If Weibo can unearth even a single piece of content related to the Big Boss's romance, we'll voluntarily expel ourselves from the fandom!!

????????

When other idols' relationships are exposed, it's a massive fandom collapse.

When her dad's relationship is exposed, the Ting Xiangxues treat it like celebrating the Lunar New Year?

And they've finally ushered in this day?

Her dad's fans are toxic.

With a slightly complicated mood, Bai Lu called Lai Jian back and confessed a portion of the truth: "Sister Jian, I did indeed have a meal with the Movie Emperor, but I can tell you that I wasn't dining alone with him. Mr. Gu Qianran from the Gu Group was also there at the time. Perhaps that customer staking out the restaurant didn't recognize Mr. Gu, and only recognized me and the Movie Emperor."

Lai Jian pressed further: "Then what is your relationship with the Movie Emperor?"

"He wants to scout me," Bai Lu said with utmost sincerity. "Mr. Gu is the investing boss, and the Movie Emperor thought I was good, so he recommended me to Mr. Gu. Our meal that day was just to discuss a new movie. But I felt the script was too mature and didn't suit me, so I turned it down, which is why I didn't mention it to you."

Naturally, Lai Jian didn't believe this explanation of hers.

Would Gu Qianran of the Gu Group personally audition a female actress for a mere film or television project?

She would rather believe that the Movie Emperor and Bai Lu were dating, and Mr. Gu had been roped in to provide cover.
