Meanwhile...
Fu Shan and Xu Yifei were busy filming on set.
As the male and female leads, they had a packed shooting schedule and barely had any time to check their phones. Naturally, they had no idea about the storm brewing online.
"Great! That's a wrap for this scene! Fu Shan, go get some rest. Yifei, stay for the next scene."
After a smooth take, director Jia Qingyu flashed Fu Shan an "OK" sign, signaling that he could take a break.
Xu Yifei, however, wasn't so lucky.
She still had another scene to film.
Fu Shan gave her an encouraging smile before strolling toward the rest area.
Just then, Xu Yifei's assistant, He Xiaoyun, hurried over with an anxious expression and thrust her phone toward him.
"President Fu, something terrible has happened! Look!"
Fu Shan raised an eyebrow in confusion but accepted the phone.
The screen was filled with post after post attacking Xu Yifei.
At this point, the entire internet seemed to be criticizing her, with countless people demanding that she leave the entertainment industry.
Frowning, Fu Shan asked,
"What happened?"
"I was only filming for a little while. How did everyone suddenly start attacking Yifei?"
He Xiaoyun sighed helplessly.
"I don't know either. Sister Yifei suddenly became the top trending topic. There are several trending hashtags claiming that she bullied Fang Yingying on set, acted like a tyrant, and even had Fang Yingying replaced."
"Now the entire internet is attacking her, saying she's vicious, domineering, intolerant of others... and they're all shouting for her to quit the entertainment industry."
"President Fu... what should we do?"
To be honest, He Xiaoyun couldn't understand it either.
The trending topics had appeared out of nowhere.
Everything had escalated far too quickly.
Most importantly...
Why had Sister Yifei suddenly become the villain?
What had she ever done?
As Fu Shan listened, he quickly skimmed through the online posts, piecing together the entire story.
His handsome face gradually darkened.
"Don't worry."
"I'll handle everything."
He would never allow anything to happen to Yifei.
With those words, Fu Shan picked up his own phone.
The moment he turned it on, notification after notification flooded the screen.
Almost every message was from his seven sisters.
The Fu family group chat had exploded once again.
Fu Zizhi: @Fu Shan What's going on? Why is Yifei suddenly being attacked by the entire internet?
Fu Ziqing: @Fu Shan Hey, brat! Your girlfriend's being slandered and you're doing nothing? Need your sisters to step in?
Fu Zilü: @Fu Shan If you need legal assistance, just ask me. I'll make sure everyone slandering your girlfriend ends up paying the price.
Fu Zici: @Fu Shan If you need help, just say the word.
Fu Ziqing: @Fu Shan If you don't respond soon, we're going to handle it ourselves.
Fu Zicheng: Agreed. We can take care of it.
Fu Zihuang: Leave it to us.
Seeing the messages, Fu Shan smiled faintly.
He immediately opened Weibo and posted:
Fu Shan V:The one who ordered Fang Yingying to be replaced... was me. What does it have to do with Xu Yifei? @FangYingyingV
After posting, he added a longer comment beneath it.
Fu Shan V:If you want to criticize someone, criticize me.
I don't mind if you tell me to quit the entertainment industry.
I don't care how you insult or attack me.
But this has nothing to do with Yifei.
She is completely innocent and has been dragged into this unfairly.
You owe Xu Yifei an apology.
Otherwise, I won't hesitate to pursue legal action against anyone who spreads false accusations and damages my girlfriend Xu Yifei's reputation.
And I will seek the maximum legal accountability.
After confirming the post had gone live, he forwarded it to the Fu family group chat.
Fu Zilan replied almost instantly.
Fu Zilan: Finally decided to do something, huh?
At the same time, the rest of the family opened the post and quickly read through it.
The family chat exploded again.
Luo Huiying: Son, well done!
Grandma Zhou Qinlan: I agree. My grandson handled that beautifully!
Fu Yuheng: Excellent. That's my son!
His parents and grandmother spared no praise.
His eldest sister, Fu Zici, remained as concise as ever.
Fu Zici: Liked it. [Support]
Fu Zicheng: That's my little brother. Liked it too.
Fu Zihuang: Liked. Fully support.
Fu Zilü: +1. Let me know if you need legal help.
Fu Ziqing: Not bad, brat.
Fu Zizhi: Didn't expect you to be this reliable.
The family chat buzzed nonstop.
Looking at the endless stream of messages, Fu Shan couldn't help smiling.
Being loved and supported unconditionally by his family...
It felt wonderful.
Meanwhile, Fu Shan's Weibo post immediately attracted enormous attention.
The internet exploded.
"So the truth is out! It was Fu Shan who ordered Fang Yingying replaced, not Xu Yifei? Does that mean he's the real one behind everything?"
"Regardless of the reason, I actually think Fu Shan is pretty manly. He stepped forward and clarified everything himself."
"Exactly! And isn't it obvious? He came out because he couldn't stand seeing Xu Yifei getting attacked. He's taking all the blame onto himself to protect her. That's such boyfriend material! He's amazing!"
More and more netizens praised Fu Shan, calling him responsible, dependable, and protective.
Many even admitted they admired him.
At Xu Jiawei's villa...
When Fang Yingying saw the post, she nearly exploded with rage.
"Damn you, Fu Shan!"
She smashed her phone onto the floor.
She had never imagined that replacing her had actually been Fu Shan's decision.
And now...
He had publicly admitted it just to protect Xu Yifei.
How could he do this to her?
No...
This couldn't be true.
It had to be Xu Yifei's fault.
Fu Shan must have been manipulated by her.
"Damn you, Xu Yifei..."
"I'll make you pay."
