CHAPTER 56: CHAPTER 56: COUNTERATTACK

Gu Feng’s eyes sparkled, and he curled his lips, his long, narrow eyes slightly raised, exuding a bit of charm, "It’s indeed quite satisfying."

Tong Yan was stunned by his beauty; Gu Feng’s smile was truly irresistible.

"Leave this matter to you, but..." Gu Feng warned her with a glance, "...don’t screw it up!"

Tong Yan clenched her muscles and nodded her head, saluting, "I assure you, mission accomplished."

Just as Tong Yan expected, Gu Shuang and Jiang Shishi would occasionally come out to flaunt their intelligence. Although they didn’t say it explicitly, their pitiful expressions were enough to tell everyone that they’ve been wronged.

Tong Yan’s silence drew a lot of curses from people.

Most netizens are like that; they follow the crowd blindly. As long as one person curses, others, without really knowing what’s going on, will curse along, feeling indignantly that they are being so virtuous.

The "Apocalypse" production team wanted to defend Tong Yan, but she stopped them. If the team speaks now, they would surely be attacked too, making those haters think it’s just a cover-up, so it’s best not to say anything.

Everyone felt sorry for Tong Yan. This girl, besides being a good eater, is friendly, maintains a good attitude, has great acting skills, often helps others; how could she be compared to the temperamental Gu Shuang?

When everyone thought she needed comfort, they saw her eating an extra bowl of food compared to usual. Well, they were worrying for nothing, even the Emperor isn’t anxious, why should these eunuchs be! Pfft, pfft, pfft, what eunuchs, their skills are perfectly fine!

Tong Yan seemed calm and composed, eating, resting, and acting without missing a beat, while Li Xin was worried like anything. Sis, could you stop eating? They’re cursing you like crazy out there!

After the second episode aired, Tong Yan’s excellent acting once again drew praise from the masses. Compared to all the other nonsense, a good drama is what really matters. Laura’s character captivated them completely; her naive yet cold demeanor, two extremes, were portrayed by Tong Yan without the slightest sense of discord.

Some netizens said that a girl who loves to eat can’t be too bad. This immediately garnered numerous likes from foodie fans, adding quite a few new fans to Tong Yan.

Over the past half month, Gu Shuang successfully portrayed herself as a delicate little flower being bullied, gaining quite a few fans, while conversely, Tong Yan became labeled as the villainous supporting actress who bullies everyone.

Tong Yan thought it was just about right and anonymously uploaded her recorded video to the internet.

It went viral instantly!

The white flower that everyone thought Gu Shuang was turned out to be a woman with a terrible temper, who gets angry frequently. Don’t believe it? Didn’t you see how fiercely she treated her own assistant? The emotional hits certainly don’t feel nice.

Gu Shuang herself was chilled when she saw the video. Who would have expected someone on set would record a video, who exactly was it! Initially, she planned it well, even if she wasn’t going to act in this show anymore, she could still use "Apocalypse" to gain quite a bit of exposure.

She acted first, and even if someone refuted later on, not too many would believe it. But who could have imagined someone actually recorded the incident!

She went from being the bullied person to the bully, and all those fans who had been manipulated into cursing Tong Yan were now extremely angry, feeling deceived, and left ugly comments under her Weibo and forums that were even worse than what Tong Yan received.

And now the "Apocalypse" production team also voiced out, neutrally explaining why the role change occurred.

Yet, it was these words that dealt a heavy blow to Gu Shuang.

Gu Shuang’s image plummeted instantly.

Abusive comments poured in, and Jiang Shishi didn’t fare much better. Even if there wasn’t clear evidence, being associated with Gu Shuang, what good could come of it, especially since Jiang Shishi had plenty of previous scandals.

Tong Yan didn’t concern herself with the following events.

Gu Feng watched the video and nodded at her, "Smart for once."

Tong Yan: ...

Brother Feng, would it kill to say something nice!
