ST3YC Chapter 123

Shrank to a 3-Years-Old Child Chapter 123: Qingqing’s Scandal

Wang Shuzhi was filming on set.

His agent stood nearby, looking anxious.

Noticing his cousin’s expression, he hurried to finish the scene before walking over to him and asking, “What happened?”

Whenever he looked like that, it was clear he was in trouble again—either being attacked, being smeared, or just getting into trouble.

“Take a look for yourself,” the agent muttered, shoving his phone into Wang Shuzhi’s hand.

“Tell me the truth, what happened between you and that lady…”

Wang Shuzhi looked down and saw the top trending search: “Popular actor Wang Shuzhi has a secret meeting with a wealthy lady.”

Raising an eyebrow, he tapped the title with his slender finger, revealing a flurry of paparazzi photos.

There were pictures of him and Gu Lan and the others having a late-night snack, but the angle was so subtle that Gu Lan and Ou Qing, who were clearly closer to Gu Qingqing, were blurred into mere passersby, while he and Gu Qingqing appeared intimate.

At first glance, they looked like a young couple.

There were also photos of them dining in the hotel restaurant, taken from the outside, through the glass.

Because he and Gu Qingqing were both seated by the window, the glare from the glass obscured the view of Gu Lan and Ou Qing, making it appear as if he and Gu Qingqing were dining face to face.

Then there were photos of them visiting a food court, riding a sightseeing bus, and visiting an ancient temple…

Nearly every photo omitted the other two people present, deliberately creating a ambiguity between him and Qingqing.

Many fans were furious, flooding the comments section with passionate comments, mixed with a large number of haters. The comments section was a chaotic mess.

However, a few rational fans tried their best to control the situation. They couldn’t control the haters, but the fans of their idol had to unite and defend their idol’s reputation until the truth came out.

“If I hadn’t been involved, I would have almost believed this nonsense,” Wang Shuzhi complained speechlessly.

Just then, the agent’s phone rang. It was a media outlet familiar to them, demanding the truth.

The agent didn’t know the true relationship between Wang Shuzhi and Mrs. Fu, and even his vehement denials were halting.

He suddenly remembered that two or three years ago, his cousin had suddenly acquired a significant amount of resources from the Fu Group and even became a brand ambassador.

To say there wasn’t something fishy going on would be a stretch.

Noticing his cousin’s suspicious look, Wang Shuzhi’s face darkened and he snatched the phone from him.

“Reporter Chen, right? There’s no romantic relationship between Gu Qingqing and me. A clarification will be released soon. Don’t just believe everything someone says.”

The last part was clearly directed at his cousin, as he glared at him.

The agent shrank back, a little aggrieved. “If you don’t tell me anything, how would I know the true nature of your relationship with Mrs. Fu? And you’ve inexplicably acquired so many resources from the Fu Group before…”

He spoke quietly, afraid to be overheard, but their argument had already drawn curious glances from the crew.

Some people pretended to be nonchalant, approaching just to see if they could eavesdrop.

Wang Shuzhi stood up, glanced at the people around him, and deliberately shouted, “What do you mean I didn’t tell you? Gu Lan and I are good friends, and Fu Heng is also my friend. His eldest son started an entertainment company, and they specifically asked me to help look after the children. I’m such a kind person, so I just agreed out of pity. Who knew Fu Heng would be so polite and give me such a huge ‘thank you gift’?”

He emphasized the last two words.

A few years ago, Wang Shuzhi suddenly gained access to some good resources within the Fu Group, and many people in the industry knew about it. At that time, everyone had been murmuring privately, and now this explosive rumor had exploded online.

Before and after the connection, many people suddenly realized that this was the truth.

But now, Wang Shuzhi had exposed their secret thoughts to their faces, almost tearing them apart.

Don’t ask why they felt he was talking to his agent, but they thought he was talking to them.

After all, no one in this chaotic world is foolish. How could they fail to see that the seemingly explanation was actually a threat?

He wasn’t just a big shot in the industry; he also knew the chairman of Gu and the chairman of Fu. He had two powerful figures behind him, and anyone who wanted to provoke him would have to consider whether they could afford to offend.

Wang Shuzhi’s team had a strong public relations team.

Even before his agent notified him, the PR department was already working, issuing a clarification the moment the scandal broke.

He didn’t deny the trip together; after all, the evidence was there; a complete denial would only lead to ridicule.

But the PR department had a trump card: they released Wang Shuzhi’s high school graduation photos.

The high-definition photos included a class photo and three dormitory photos. One of them featured a striking, elegantly dressed woman.

It was Gu Qingqing from her youth.

She maintained herself well, and her appearance was similar to hers now, with not even a hint of aging visible. Anyone with a poor eye would have been unable to mistake the two for each other.

Seeing these photos, fans were bewildered.

[Mee Mee: What does this mean? Does it mean my husband has known Mrs. Fu for a long time? Childhood sweethearts? A relationship between an older woman and a younger man?]

[Wang’s current girlfriend: What the hell, how did the people above see these weird things? They’re clearly saying that my husband and Mrs. Fu’s brother are good friends, even roommates in high school.]

[Revealing the Truth: Since she’s his older sister, it’s only natural for them to hang out together.]

[My husband, look at me: As expected, my husband would never hook up with a rich woman, let alone a married woman.]

…

[Wang Gou Get Out of the Entertainment Industry: Haha, are you fans blind? What can a few photos really tell you?]

[…: Wang Shuzhi is a corrupt person and unworthy of being a public figure. Why hasn’t anyone come to ban him yet?]

[Hehe: I’m so sick of seeing Wang Gou jumping around on screen all day long.]

[Wang Gou Lifelong Hater: Why don’t you just die?]

[Passing by: Wishing Wang Gou and his entire family a sudden death. 】

…

The polarized comments naturally caused a quarrel. Even the best-tempered fans couldn’t help getting angry when seeing the black fans’ unbridled abuse. How could they possibly swallow their anger?

Wang Shuzhi debuted as a child star and has been famous since he was young. Moreover, his acting and singing skills are very strong, and he is very good at livening up the atmosphere when appearing in variety shows. He has won countless major awards.

His name has long been famous abroad, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is an international superstar.

Therefore, he has a very large fan base, ranging from eighty-year-old grandmothers to teenage girls, and there are also a lot of male fans.

The fighting power of this group of fans is not weak. Once they start to rage, those black fans are almost defeated and defeated.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Shuzhi released a bunch of photos one after another.

This time, the caption was simple: “An unexpected vacation, traveling with friends is the happiest thing.”

Below were a selection of travel photos taken by Wang Shuzhi during the trip. Besides the Gu siblings, there was another aloof-looking man. Sharp-eyed fans immediately recognized him as another roommate of their idol.

[So that’s it: So, it was just a simple dorm party and a trip?]

[The Nth day of wanting to marry my idol: I told you, my idol has been single for over 30 years and is still a lonely dog, how could he possibly find a partner so soon?]

[Concerned mom fan: If he does, no matter who the other person is, I’ll have to open a bottle of champagne for my little one to celebrate.]

…

The comments took off from there.

Netizens began lamenting the fact that Wang Shuzhi was still single despite being so old, making even the rumors about him dating a wealthy woman seem insignificant by comparison.

Some fans even suggested that a wealthy woman wouldn’t be bad for their idol; at least she’d be beautiful and wealthy. It’s a shame the rumored woman is married with two children; otherwise, they’d be a perfect match.

Seeing the tide was turning against them, and unwilling to give up, the person behind the scenes broke the news again, claiming that Wang Shuzhi’s travel destination was G City, where an earthquake had struck a month earlier.

He fled G City immediately after the incident, and even afterward, when all the All-Stars donated, he showed no sign of showing any remorse. He was truly heartless and unworthy of being a member of the “Zhonghua Family.”

This news was heartbreaking.

The G City earthquake a month earlier was still fresh in everyone’s memory, and some had even lost family and friends. A single month was hardly enough to quell their grief.

As soon as this news broke, many impulsive individuals immediately took to Wang Shuzhi’s social media accounts to vent their anger.

The abuse was even harsher than during the previous scandal.

Of course, there was no shortage of rival trolls and anti-fans.

In fact, they were responsible for much of the negative publicity. Even if people were to vent their anger, they wouldn’t say anything excessive, at least not to the point of insults or personal attacks.

The mastermind sneered at this scene, thinking that even if they couldn’t kill Wang Shuzhi this time, they could at least bring him down from his lofty pedestal and make him feel the pain of falling from the clouds.

Amidst the sea of trolls, no one noticed a subtle piece of information being pushed to the surface.

[Meng Xiaotu: Um, if you’re talking about the G City earthquake, I was actually there. I was traveling in an ancient temple when the earthquake struck. I was trapped under the collapsed rocks. I was desperate, but thankfully I was rescued. My knee was severely injured, and it was Wang Shuzhi who saved me and bandaged my wound. [Image, image.]]

Both photos were secretly taken by Meng Xiaotu. One showed her sitting on the ground, bracing herself against the pain, while being bandaged. She captured Wang Shuzhi, his head half-bowed, intently applying the bandage.

Even with the mask on, his movements revealed a subtle tenderness and seriousness.

The close-up shot also clearly captured the scars on his hands. The second photo shows Wang Shuzhi and others digging stones with their bare hands in the ruins. Although the distance is a bit far, his figure can be seen more clearly.

Gu Lan, Gu Qingqing and Ou Qing can even be seen next to him.

Just two photos and one paragraph perfectly stated a fact.

Wang Shuzhi did not run away during the earthquake. He was even one of the victims!

This time, the true fans were completely blown away.

Their idol suffered such a great disaster, and he was attacked for actively saving people afterwards. This is absolutely unbearable!

The flood of messages instantly suppressed all the previous bad comments.
