Chapter 41 – Attack and Counter-attack (2/2)

There were only two choices. Admit it or deny it.

If Bai Lang and Qiu Qian’s relationship was confirmed in this manner, then Bai Lang would have some ground to comment on Qiu Qian and Su Quan’s relationship and be able to express that he wasn’t the mistress. However since the relationship didn’t even exist {T/N: Between SQ and QQ}, it was hard to produce any so-called ‘evidence’. The ending result might be that Bai Lang still had to carry this title of “homewrecker” and at the same time come out of the closet. This would have huge repercussions on his reputation.

And if Bai Lang publicly denied it, then Su Quan also wasn’t scared. Because that meant that in the future Bai Lang and Qiu Qian would have to always tip-toe around and hide their relationship. If he chose this method then Bai Lang would also be unable to comment on whether or not Qiu Qian and Su Quan had ever “broken up” and in the future he would always have to carry the suspicion of having “stolen someone else’s boyfriend” and be pointed at by others.

This way, although he wouldn’t be able to hurt Bai Lang’s life in any way, Su Quan was still quite pleased at being able to force Bai Lang into a corner of “not being able to see the light”. And then if they hid the relationship for a while but finally couldn’t stand it any longer and ended up admitting to it, then wouldn’t they also be seen to be admitting to this homewrecker matter? Otherwise why did they hide it the first place?

So in terms of losses versus gains, Su Quan was able to accept making a small sacrifice in order to obtain larger rewards.

Anyway since Hong Yu and Qiu Qian had come to an “agreement”, then that meant that Hong Yu would still stand by his side and help him clean up the mess afterwards. If he lost the choice of Qiu Qian, then to Su Quan any other patron was the same. And if he had to continue being with Hong Yu, then at least when it came to “that matter” the frequency was reduced and easier to tolerate than before. {T/N: Uh, since HY probably has lost some of his sexual function. I’m not sure if author was being too vague or if you guys got that already haha…}

Returning to Bai Lang’s phone call with Fang Hua.

“Right now we’ve already released the first wave response, which is to state that in the photos with Su Quan and Qiu Qian there’s nothing happening, and so to use it to say that they had a relationship is too illogical.” Fang Hua reported. “Of course figuring out whether or not the photos are real, what time they were taken and the purpose of them is the next step. We are also need to prepare a more detailed explanation as to why Total Entertainment terminated Su Quan’s contract. That won’t be hard. Previously when Su Quan accepted a job, he would often change his mind and it was always smoothed over by the company. If we expose it now, we can totally say we didn’t want to say it before to preserve his reputation, but had no choice now. Isn’t it just splashing dirty water on people? If he can do it, we can too!” By this time Fang Hua was also very unhappy.

Bai Lang smiled. “I’ve troubled Sister Fang. I’m sorry to always have so many incidents.”

“It’s natural when someone gets famous, no problem. You also don’t need to think too much. If you need to eat you should eat and if you need to sleep you should sleep. Your body is the most important.” Fang Hua comforted him and then directly said, “However in terms of Chaos Street, Ah Cheng will send more people there. They definitely won’t be able to get to you. However I’m afraid that what some people want right now is to see us hiding. So you and Qiu Qian still need to come up with some kind of statement in the end. Either you have to admit it or deny it.”

Bai Lang had some idea in his heart but after all he couldn’t make the decision on his own. “I’ll ask first.”

Perhaps these words made Fang Hua misunderstand something. She added, “In my opinion, it’s better to admit it.”

Bai Lang couldn’t help smiling. “Is this you standing on my side?”

“Stupid. I’m just trying to give you a hint for the correct answer. If you answer wrong, then the person who has to suffer is me.” Fang Hua thought about Qiu Qian then said, “What about your family? Do you need to notify them first? Forget about Bai Li but what about your parents…?”

Fang Hua as talking when his phone began to ring again. The only person who had the authority to interrupt someone else’s phone call was Qiu Qian. Thus Fang Hua just said to take care of himself and directly hung up the phone.

“Hello?” Bai Lang had only swiped the answer button when he heard Qiu Qian yell loudly.

“Tomorrow you speak straight into the camera, and say when the hell did my man become your man?!”

Bai Lang blinked. He didn’t need to ask Qiu Qian’s opinion anymore and instead had to spend a long time pacifying the angry to death Qiu Qian who was overseas.

12 hours after the photos were posted, it was midnight.

The number of posts relating to this issue was now well over 10,000. The location, timing, angle and truth behind the photographs was currently being discussed over and over again. As time went on, the reasoning and conjectures became more varied. Those that suspected Bai Lang were present, but more and more people were also beginning to suspect Su Quan and everybody was waiting to see if there would be an explanation come tomorrow.

At this time, Bai Lang’s fans finally began their counter-attack.

The first post posted a single photograph, it was taken from behind of Bai Lang holding a small boy’s hand.

“Just who the hell is the mistress!? How come we’ve never seen Su Quan before!?”

When Bai Lang saw this he got a fright and immediately made a phone call to tell Hong Hong to release the things he had just sent over right away.

That night, another bomb appeared on the unpeaceful discussion board.

The new post’s heading said, “The other side that you haven’t seen”.

In the post were three photographs. Each was of Su Quan and a different man, drinking together.
