Forced to Live Together After Picking Up the Child of My Rival Alpha - Chapter 24
After leaving the hospital, Song Yuan went straight home. The moment she pushed the door open, she heard Luoluo’s delighted cry.
“Mommy!”
Following the soft, sweet voice, a snow-white little bundle rushed over and hugged Song Yuan’s leg.
“Luoluo.” Song Yuan smiled, reaching out to pat Luoluo’s little head. “Why aren’t you asleep yet? Aren’t you tired?”
“She wanted to wait for you to come back.” Luo Wei walked over, crossing her arms as she watched Song Yuan pick Luoluo up.
Although Song Yuan suddenly having a child gave Luo Wei a headache, Luoluo was such a sensible and adorable child that Luo Wei couldn’t bring herself to dislike her.
“Wei-jie, sorry for troubling you tonight.”
Luo Wei waved her hand dismissively. “Come on, when have you not troubled me?”
Song Yuan smiled apologetically and carried Luoluo toward the bedroom.
“Alright, Mommy’s back now. You can sleep peacefully.”
As she spoke, Song Yuan placed Luoluo on the bed.
“Be good and go to sleep now. Children need to grow, so they shouldn’t stay up late.”
Seeing that Song Yuan was about to leave, Luoluo grabbed the hem of her clothes and looked at her with pleading eyes. “What about you, Mommy?”
“Aunt Luo Wei is still outside. Mommy will see her off and come back to stay with you.”
“Okay.” Luoluo obediently agreed and let go of Song Yuan’s clothes.
Song Yuan left the bedroom, closing the door behind her.
Luo Wei was sitting on the sofa and didn’t look pleased when Song Yuan came out.
“Care to explain what happened between you and Yu Jin today?”
“Yu Jin called me. She was drunk, and I was worried something might happen to her.”
As she spoke, Song Yuan cautiously glanced at her agent’s expression, which was far from pleasant.
Mindful of Luoluo inside the room and not wanting to disturb her, Luo Wei deliberately lowered her voice, though her tone remained stern.
“I’ve told you repeatedly to stay away from Yu Jin! Stay away! And what do you do? You go to her place instead!”
“Ahem, it was an emergency at the time.”
Luo Wei rolled her eyes. “An emergency? Couldn’t you have called her agent? Or her assistant? Yu Jin has so many people around her did you really need to rush over yourself?”
“Wei-jie, calm down. I was just too flustered at the moment and didn’t think of it.”
As she spoke, Song Yuan poured a glass of water and handed it to Luo Wei.
She knew full well that she had to placate Luo Wei at times like this, or else the lecture would go on endlessly.
Luo Wei took the glass and snorted coldly, her anger far from subsided.
She asked coolly, “You haven’t checked the news online in a while, have you?”
Song Yuan rubbed her nose. “I was busy with the variety show and didn’t have time.”
Luo Wei knew her artist all too well. It wasn’t that she didn’t have time, she simply didn’t want to look!
She took out her phone, pulled up a webpage, and handed it to Song Yuan.
“Take a good look at what people are saying about you online.”
With Luo Wei right there, even if Song Yuan didn’t want to read the netizens’ comments, she had no choice.
Truth be told, Song Yuan could already guess what people were saying about her, and she felt helpless.
She had tried her best to keep a low profile, but with her controversial reputation, even drinking water could be overanalyzed by netizens.
Under Luo Wei’s watchful gaze, Song Yuan casually clicked on an entertainment news article featuring her and Wei Yang.
The content inside interpreted her relationship with Wei Yang, stating that according to Wei Yang’s words, the two of them had clearly been in a relationship. However, she was now unwilling to admit it in order to ride on Yu Jin’s popularity, condemning her as an outright scumbag.
Below were numerous comments from fans, with all sorts of opinions.
【Yuan Yuan’s Number One Wife: That person named Wei something really has some nerve. My Yuan Yuan already clarified that the incident at the hotel was for filming, yet she insists on clinging to her and causing nothing but trouble for my Yuan Yuan.】
【My Heart Belongs to Yang: Which female celebrity in this industry who’s had any contact with Song Yuan hasn’t been rumored to be involved with her? Everyone knows Song Yuan is a major scumbag. The person above, stop trying to whitewash Song Yuan here. It’s just my poor Yang Yang baby who suffered, deceived by Song Yuan’s emotions and left without any recognition.】
【One of Yuan Yuan’s Harem: My Yuan Yuan is just good-natured and gets along well with many female stars. As for the rumors, they’re purely fabricated!】
【Yu Yu’s Wife: Holding my A-Jin tight. No matter what the relationship is between Song Yuan and Wei Yang, can they please stay away from my sister? Stop trying to leech off my sister’s popularity and clout.】
Song Yuan exited this entertainment news and came across some other related gossip.
Aside from the rumors about Song Yuan, Wei Yang, and Yu Jin, many people also dug up Song Yuan’s past scandals with others.
Now, fans of various celebrities were fiercely battling it out online, arguing nonstop.
After skimming through a few comments, Song Yuan handed the phone back to Luo Wei.
Luo Wei took the phone back and couldn’t resist scolding Song Yuan.
“Now you see how intense the online discussions are, right? You shouldn’t have gotten so close to Yu Jin. If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have let you join that variety show. It’s caused nothing but trouble.”
Luo Wei wore a look of regret, clearly genuinely unwilling to let Song Yuan have any contact with Yu Jin.
“Sigh, with fans so worked up online right now, no matter what you say, they’ll probably find fault with it.”
As she spoke, Luo Wei didn’t forget to warn Song Yuan, “The internet is a mess. You’d better behave yourself. As for Yu Jin, do not, under any circumstances, have any more contact with her. Understand?”
Song Yuan felt helpless. She had already been keeping a low profile, and it wasn’t as if she could simply distance herself from Yu Jin just because she wanted to.
“Yu Jin and I are partners for the next episode of the variety show. She’s Luoluo’s mother, so I’ll inevitably have quite a bit of interaction with her.”
Luo Wei shot Song Yuan an annoyed glare. “If you hadn’t chosen not to pick Wei Yang, the situation wouldn’t have turned out like this!”
“And that Wei Yang! I originally thought she was obedient and that it wouldn’t be a bad idea for you two to promote a CP together. Who knew she’d turn around and stab you in the back? Just look at the nonsense she spouted on the show!”
“Alright, Sister Wei, calm down first. Let me play something good for you.”
“What is it?”
Under Luo Wei’s curious gaze, Song Yuan took out her phone, found a recording, tapped the screen, and started playing it.
The recording was from when Song Yuan was choosing a partner on the show. When Wei Yang invited Song Yuan to be her partner, Song Yuan explicitly refused and stated that she did not want to promote a CP with Wei Yang.
Luo Wei raised an eyebrow in surprise. “Not bad. You actually had a moment of intelligence.”
Song Yuan was helpless; she wasn’t foolish. Having been slandered so many times before, she had long since gained experience.
Moreover, Wei Yang was an untrustworthy person, and Song Yuan had always been wary of her.
The recording had finished playing. Luo Wei tilted her chin toward Song Yuan.
“Send me a copy of the recording. As soon as day breaks tomorrow, I’ll have the PR department handle it.”
Song Yuan naturally didn’t refuse and immediately sent the recording to Luo Wei, who saved it and stood up from the sofa.
“Alright, it’s getting late. You should rest early. I’m heading back now.”
“Be careful on your way.”
After seeing Luo Wei out, Song Yuan washed up and returned to her bedroom.
In that short time, Luoluo had already fallen asleep, clearly exhausted.
Looking at Luoluo’s chubby, adorable smiling face, Song Yuan smiled softly, pulled up the blanket that had slipped down a bit, and then lay down on the bed.
She closed her eyes, and before long, her breathing gradually steadied as she drifted into sleep.
Outside the window, the moon gradually descended with the passing of time, and the sun slowly rose from the horizon.
Another new day had arrived.
Luo Wei promptly handed the recording Song Yuan had given her to the PR department and then released it online.
Netizens were taken aback by the unexpected turn of events, and an uproar immediately ensued.
[Ailin Eating Melons: So this is the truth of the matter. It seems Song Yuan has been wronged all along. I’m siding with Song Yuan this time! Wei Yang must come forward and apologize!]
[Song Yuan Is My Wife: I’m speechless. How can there be such a shameless person? My dear Yuan Yuan has already clearly refused to engage in a CP with Wei Yang, yet she still acts like the victim. If it weren’t for my Yuan Yuan’s cleverness in recording the conversation, wouldn’t she have been ruined by Wei Yang?]
[HeKa Song Fan: Wei Yang is truly malicious. Just because Yuan Yuan didn’t agree to the CP, she had to smear her like that. Now that the truth is out, shouldn’t Wei Yang and those who criticized my Yuan Yuan come forward and apologize?]
After Song Yuan’s fans realized what had happened, they collectively stood up and demanded that Wei Yang apologize to Song Yuan.
Wei Yang’s carefully crafted image of gentleness and cuteness had attracted many fans.
After the recording was exposed, some of Wei Yang’s more rational fans quietly left her fan group.
They had always believed that Song Yuan had wronged Wei Yang, never expecting the truth to be like this, nor that Wei Yang would be such a person. Heartbroken, they withdrew their support.
However, Wei Yang was already a somewhat famous traffic star with many die-hard, irrational fans.
Faced with the pressure from Song Yuan’s fans, they still chose to stand by Wei Yang, shouting that Song Yuan was the one smearing Wei Yang and engaging in fierce online arguments with Song Yuan’s fans.
[WeiGuo Forever: Song Yuan’s team is utterly shameless. Is this really necessary? They even fabricated a recording to slander my dear Yang Yang. Everyone knows how gentle and kind my Yang Yang is she’s such a sweetheart who wouldn’t even step on an ant.]
[Yang Yang, You’re Squishing My Hair: I think Song Yuan must have fabricated this recording because she saw netizens criticizing her, trying to shift the blame onto Yang Yang. Hugging my dear Yang Yang tightly! I’m going to find a lawyer to sue Song Yuan for defamation!]
【GuardHeartForever: Can anyone believe this? I’m about to vomit. How can there be such a despicable and disgusting person? Every actress who has worked with Song Yuan in the entertainment industry has been linked to her in rumors. Does that scumbag Song really think she can clear her name by releasing a fake recording?】
【GuardWhat: Is Song Yuan’s team insane? Do they think fabricating a recording like this will erase the fact that she’s a scumbag?】
Song Yuan’s fans never expected that even with the recording released, Wei Yang’s fans would still be so stubborn. The two fanbases began hurling insults at each other. Song Yuan’s fans firmly stood by her, believing the recording was authentic and valid, while Wei Yang’s fans adamantly insisted the recording was fabricated by Song Yuan’s side.
