Chapter 893 ·You_re Trending

The online gossip and exposes not only didn't cool down over several days but became increasingly intense, with seemingly more media outlets joining the reporting.

This time, Wen Wan and Chen Fan's fan groups couldn't sit still anymore.

Regarding Wen Wan and Chen Fan dating, as fan groups of both sides, most people were actually quite supportive.

One was a widely-admired female celebrity, and one was a wealthy young tycoon.

The two of them together made a perfect match, wouldn't shipping this CP be absolutely delightful?

However, the online reports and comments were too outrageous, slanderous, and mudslinging, even claiming things like they had lived together during university days, doing who knows what in the apartment every day.

This was something the fan groups couldn't tolerate.

So large numbers of fans began attacking the newspapers involved in the reporting, especially the entertainment gossip newspaper that broke the story first, they were confronted by fans offline in person.

Some impulsive fans even threw excrement at the newspaper office entrance, letting them experience what it feels like to be smeared.

This forced the newspaper office to call the police to handle the situation.

It was complete chaos.

Online was even more lively, with Wen Wan's fans flooding various forums, beginning to battle against those slanderous and sarcastic comments.

The most popular Tianya Forum almost crashed due to the sudden influx of too many Wen Wan fans at once, and even made the news.

Among these excited fan groups, there was also a special group of netizens.

They were the student body of Yunhai University.

As their senior alumnus, Chen Fan was the most famous graduate from their school in recent years.

The pride of the school, and likewise an idol worshipped by the students.

The students naturally wouldn't allow anyone to slander their revered Senior Chen.

So large numbers of students began organizing to post on various forums to fight for Senior Chen.

Seeing the online public opinion getting more and more intense, Chen Fan could ignore it, but Ruofan Group had to respond.

Reporters blocked the entrance of the group's building, wanting to interview Chen Fan, but Chen Fan didn't show up at the company at all.

Ruofan Group's security didn't forcefully drive people away, but very politely sent all reporters away, telling them one thing, regarding the online rumors, the company would issue a statement soon.

Sure enough, a day later, Ruofan Group posted a statement on their official website.

The statement said that today our company has noticed all the online comments about our founder and CEO Mr. Chen Fan, which are pure fabrication and slander, and have already damaged Mr. Chen Fan's reputation.

It also stated that the company's legal department was already collecting evidence and preparing to sue the rumormongers, ensuring they face legal punishment.

Once the statement was released, all fans spread the news excitedly.

Some websites quietly took down their reposted news reports.

However, the two newspapers that started it all showed no signs of backing down, and instead continued to publish a series of reports.

"If the reports are false, why doesn't Mr. Chen Fan dare to appear and respond?"

"This writer would like to ask Mr. Chen Fan: Is the cohabitation true? Did the two live under the same roof during university? Is it true about making Wen Wan famous? If there wasn't a special relationship, who would spend such great effort to make their teacher famous?"

Faced with the newspaper's questioning, the fan groups were furious but couldn't produce concrete evidence to refute them.

Seeing the fans anxiously jumping up and down, these two newspapers became even more smug.

They continued to publish more reports, still about Chen Fan and Wen Wan.

"Feifan Media now only has Wen Wan as their sole celebrity, and Chen Fan as an internet industry boss, yet specifically chose to venture into the unrelated film and television industry. Who would believe there's no relationship between them?"

"It's reported that Mr. Chen Fan already had a girlfriend during university, yet particularly cared so much about a female celebrity, spending huge sums of money, establishing a company, and making his cohabiting female teacher into a big star. Is Chen Fan kind-hearted? Or is Chen Fan a fool?"

"As men, who doesn't understand each other? To say there isn't that kind of relationship between them, even idiots wouldn't believe it."

Seeing the two newspapers showing off their power and pressing forward step by step, some neutral spectating netizens suddenly began to waver.

"It makes sense, if there weren't ulterior motives, who would care so much about a strange woman?"

"We're all men, we can understand. After all, if I faced a beauty like Wen Wan, I couldn't sit still either."

"Hey, person above, stop dreaming, they were already living together during university."

"So what if they have a relationship? Chen Fan isn't married, and Wen Wan is single too, it's perfectly normal."

"How is this not a problem? Isn't this typically having two boats to ride?"

"Hey, they're not married, why do you care how many boats they ride?"

"Besides, Chen Fan isn't an ordinary person, he's a super rich person, you don't understand the world of rich people. Isn't it normal to have several women around?"

"Let me ask you, if you were Chen Fan, can you guarantee you'd only have one woman around?"

"Hehe, makes sense. In my opinion, having only two women is considered few. If it were me, I'd need at least a harem."

"Not being married, at most it's just having a messy private life. Being married would be called moral corruption..."

"Some people are really too naive, really thinking rich people are the same as ordinary people? The life they live isn't something we can imagine."

"Only being able to marry one person only applies to ordinary people, it doesn't apply to rich people."

"The comment above is correct."

While online public opinion was getting more and more lively, the rich person in netizens' mouths, Chen Fan, was currently alone at home, miserably eating instant noodles.

Regarding the online public opinion, Chen Fan hadn't paid much attention. He knew these two newspapers were just hired guns.

If they couldn't find out who was really hiding behind the scenes, just teaching these two newspapers a lesson would be meaningless.

Two days ago, Feng Pojun had personally led people to Beijing, and the investigation was still ongoing.

As he slurped some instant noodles, his phone rang.

It was Ding Dian calling.

"How is it, how does it feel to be a big star?"

"What big star?"

"Oh, you're not a big star, at most you're just Wen Wan's rumored love interest."

Chen Fan was speechless, "Are you that free? Is the work the company arranged for you too little?"

On the other end of the phone, Ding Dian giggled coquettishly, carefree, seeming not sympathetic to Chen Fan at all.

These days, Chen Fan had received quite a few concerned calls from friends and family, but none of them were consoling or sympathetic, they were all gloating.

Even Wu Di and Brother Jie expressed their envy and jealousy towards Chen Fan.

You should know that was the big star Wen Wan! If they could have rumors with Wen Wan, they would be smiling even in their dreams.

Of course, the main reason for such gloating was knowing that Chen Fan wasn't a government official, these exposes couldn't hurt Chen Fan at all, at most just annoy him a bit.

"You should be grateful."

Ding Dian on the other end of the phone joked: "You know how many men want to be Wen Wan's rumored love interest but don't have the chance?"

"Do you know? Now you've become the enemy of Wen Wan's male fan groups. I even saw someone on the forum today declaring they'd pay a high price to buy one of your legs."

"You'd better go out less recently. To avoid those crazy fans... Ah..."

Ding Dian on the other end suddenly screamed.

Chen Fan was startled, his head buzzing, quickly moving the phone away.

"You did that on purpose, right? My ears are almost deaf."

Ding Dian on the computer end excitedly shouted.

"Quick... quickly open your computer..."
