Chapter 238: Gossip

Chapter 238

The Prophecy Little Witch account already has over 3 million followers, but because Chu Yang never mingles in social circles, doesn't accept advertisements, and certainly doesn't participate in any events, people don't know what the blogger looks like, whether they're male or female, or if it's a team - except, of course, for those who know Chu Yang personally.

As for Chu Yang's clients, there are ordinary people, some wealthy individuals, and some internet celebrities. However, Chu Yang hasn't yet received any requests from actual celebrities. This is probably because she has predicted the downfall of certain stars, so celebrities have blacklisted her, fearing she might prophesy something unfavorable about them.

Although no celebrities have sought out the Prophecy Little Witch, whenever Chu Yang predicts a star's downfall, many industry insiders secretly pay attention. When a prediction appears before the event actually happens, everyone quietly distances themselves from the star in question to avoid being affected.

Some celebrities even create anonymous accounts to follow the Prophecy Little Witch blogger.

Chi Yan has been away on a business trip for a month now. This is the first time Chu Yang has been apart from Chi Yan for so long. Previously, Chi Yan would call her every night, but when she noticed his tired face, she eventually told him not to call daily and to rest instead. She said she would call him when she missed him, so she generally calls him every two or three days.

Unexpectedly, while Chu Yang was studying in the school library, Jin Yang, the ultimate internet surfer, sent her a message: "Yang Yang, check out this link. Is the person in it the little BOSS? [Link]"

Chu Yang opened the link with some confusion: "Zhang Zhaoxue's love affair exposed? Boyfriend is a wealthy heir?"

Who is Zhang Zhaoxue?

Chu Yang skimmed through the news and looked at the people in the photo. She glanced briefly and recognized Chi Yan entering a hotel, followed by Qi Jie and several bodyguards. As for Zhang Zhaoxue, she was walking in front of Chi Yan, making it look like they were entering the hotel together. The timestamp showed 8 PM last night.

Chu Yang didn't think Chi Yan knew Zhang Zhaoxue. In the picture, Chi Yan was on the phone - talking to her, in fact. They had spoken at 8 PM last night.

The news didn't reveal Chi Yan's identity, only referring to him as a wealthy young master.

In the comments section, some people believed it while others didn't.

Chu Yang first replied to Jin Yang: "It's him, but Chi Yan doesn't know Zhang Zhaoxue. It must be a coincidence." She trusted him, after all.

Jin Yang: "Oh, I see. Let's see if Zhang Zhaoxue's side denies it. I'm worried about the entertainment industry's love for hype, which might expose the little BOSS's identity."

Chu Yang: "It's fine. Chi Yan will handle it."

"That's good."

Meanwhile, at Zhang Zhaoxue's team meeting, "Zhaoxue, we need to quickly post a denial on Weibo."

Zhang Zhaoxue looked at Weibo and even liked the post with her anonymous account. "Deny it? Why deny it?"

Her manager: "I've made some inquiries. That's Chi Yan, the current boss of Chi Corporation. He's only 23 years old, truly accomplished at a young age!"

Zhang Zhaoxue smiled, "Isn't that even better? Besides, I didn't take the photo or say anything. It's all just speculation."

"It's just a statement, who knows if it's true? Don't all rich men have one at home and one outside?"

"So, is Zhang Zhaoxue possibly the mistress? Or does she want to be?"

"Homewreckers should die!"

Shortly after, Zhang Zhaoxue's side finally released a statement: "We initially thought ignoring baseless rumors would allow the situation to settle down naturally. We sincerely apologize for any disturbance caused to Mr. Chi. The photo was merely a coincidence, and we are not acquainted. Please refrain from further speculation."

"Originally, it was just paparazzi making things up, and netizens were talking. They didn't clarify because they thought it would blow over, but it ended up trending. Someone must be targeting Zhang Zhaoxue."

"I think so too."

"Not necessarily. It's hard to tell what's real or fake in the entertainment industry."

Meanwhile, Chi Yan was on the phone with Chu Yang, explaining, "I don't even know who that person is. I can't believe they dared to spread rumors about me. Honey, I feel awful~"

Chu Yang immediately comforted him, "It's okay, it's okay. Now that it's been clarified, everyone knows the truth."

"Mm-hmm, honey, I love you."

"I love you too."

"I'll be back in three days. Will you come pick me up?"

"Of course, of course. I'll definitely be there."

"I love you, wife."

"Mmm, I love you too."

"Muah."

"Muah."

As soon as Chi Yan finished his sweet talk with Chu Yang and hung up the phone, his expression changed completely. He turned to Qi Jie and said, "Delete all those 'accidental' photos of me with you-know-who. Oh, and book me a different hotel."

"Understood," Qi Jie replied.

Meanwhile, Zhang Zhaoxue's agent was trying to reason with her: "We should lay low for now. He's married, after all."

Zhang Zhaoxue shook her head. "So what if he's married? If I can get close to Chi Corporation, I'll have my pick of resources in the future. Who cares about being criticized? It's most pitiful when no one talks about you at all. Come on, let's go to the top floor now. Mr. Chi is definitely in the presidential suite. We'll go up to apologize, add him on WeChat, and that's step one taken care of."
