Chapter 510: Acting Big
Lan Yanran’s tantrum startled everyone.
With that, he turned and walked into the airport and left.
When the fans behind Lan Yanran saw his uncomfortable appearance, they started to quarrel with the reporters.
They were determined to protect their idol’s interests. When they saw their idol being bullied, they naturally had to help him.
Several entertainment reporters were beaten up by Lan Yanran’s fans and taken to the interrogation room by the airport security. They were detained for a long time before coming out.
“Damn it! Lan Yanran, just you wait!”
A few of them were bruised and their faces were swollen because of the fans; they vowed to take revenge.
Everything that happened just now was recorded. Whether Lan Yanran was good or bad depended on their mood. Now that they were beaten up by his fans, they naturally wouldn’t let it go.
Soon, the matter started to ferment online.
“Lan Yanran is being arrogant at the airport. He doesn’t care about his biological sister’s life and came to work with a smile.”
A shocking title was printed at the top of the article.
It attracted countless insults and ridicule.
“In the past, they were very close on Weibo. His sister is dead, and the true colors of this brother are now exposed.”
“It can be seen that the good relationship in the past was just an act. This man is too scary.”
“It hasn’t been long since he became popular, but he’s already putting on airs and graces. As expected of a rich person, he’s too arrogant.”
The eye-catching title was accompanied by a video of the airport where Lan Yanran was acting arrogant.
The entire process was smooth and there weren’t any signs of editing.
Because of this video, Lan Yanran was slandered by many anti-fans.
“What’s going on?”
Wang Qing turned on her phone and saw the news online. Lan Yanran had been depressed for more than a month and this was the first time he came out to work.
She called Lan Yanran to ask about today.
“Yanran, what happened? Didn’t I call Sis Zhan over to support you? Why were there so many reporters?”
Wang Qing thought that Lan Yanran had called over the reporters and wanted to scold him, but Lan Yanran spoke righteously.
“I thought you were the one who called these reporters over. The moment I entered the airport, they asked about my sister. Were they there to interview me or my sister? I couldn’t take it and quarreled with them for a while, so they portrayed me like this.”
Lan Yanran was furious when he saw the news.
What did the injuries on their faces have to do with him?
Must they say that he beat them?
“Are the injuries on their faces related to you?” Wang Qing asked.
“I don’t know what happened to their faces. The video is from their hands. They recorded it out of context and released it to slander me. I don’t know what happened after I left.”
Lan Yanran was confused when he saw the video. When did he start fighting with those reporters?
“Since this has nothing to do with you, you don’t have to worry. This matter is related to a criminal assault, don’t worry, I will handle it for you.”
Wang Qing hung up and opened Weibo.
Lan Yanran’s fans stood up to help.
“I’m that Sis Zhan. The people I beat up today have nothing to do with Lan Yanran. I couldn’t stand the low EQ questions from those reporters. The videos were fabricated by them. There were many of Lan Yanran’s fans present and they witnessed the arrogant and unreasonable questions from those reporters.
“It’s completely a deliberate revenge. I’m willing to take responsibility for my actions, but this has nothing to do with Lan Yanran. If you want compensation, I can compensate, but please don’t accuse him anymore.”
After this statement was released, many people praised her for being brave and the atmosphere immediately changed.
Many people apologized for accusing Lan Yanran.
Suddenly…
A large group of people suddenly stood up and said that the statement was paid for by Lan Yanran. Yes, he was using this method to clear his name. Many netizens who didn’t know the truth were biased and continued to curse him.
Wang Qing sent a lawyer’s letter to sue the reporters after they saw the situation escalate.
Lan Yanran quickly explained the incident at the airport.
Some believed it while others didn’t.
At this moment, the reporters got his number from somewhere and called him.
“How is it? It doesn’t feel good to be scolded, right? Actually, as long as you apologized to us, things wouldn’t have ended up like this. Of course, it can’t be resolved with just a spoken apology. As a big star, you should be very rich, right?
“As long as you spend some money to solve the problem and shut us up, we will immediately remove what we’ve posted from online. If you don’t want to spend money to solve the problem, you might have to live such a life under attack for a long time. You can choose from one of these two options.”
The reporter who called was very arrogant. In the entertainment circle, people like Lan Yanran would usually spend money to avoid trouble. After all, being scolded for a long time would give people a bad impression.
Especially a popular celebrity like him, if he was constantly scolded by passers-by, it would damage his popularity. He probably wouldn’t be foolish enough to ruin the reputation he had built up over a long time.
Lan Yanran smiled.
“Who gave you such courage? You know why I debuted, right? Do you remember Fu Guosheng? He is in jail now. Why? Do you want to accompany him?”
The reporter was at a loss for words. He seemed to have really forgotten about Lan Yanran’s debut.
“We’re not afraid of you, you should think about yourself. Why don’t you spend some money to solve the problem since you’re being scolded like this? Do you think we’ll be afraid of you just because you sent us a lawyer’s letter?”
His tone was obviously timid, but he was still stubborn.
“Alright, let’s meet in court. What I didn’t do, I didn’t do. If they find out that you tampered with the video, it won’t be resolved by going to jail for a few years.”
Lan Yanran smiled and hung up. He casually opened Weibo and posted the recording.
He was experienced in such matters. When he picked up the phone, he had already pressed the record button.
There was no way they could extort him.
He then wrote another line on Weibo.
“I’ve called the police. I’ll see you in court.”
Lan Yanran’s move attracted a large number of likes from the netizens and the comments section was filled with praises. It was much better than the insults from before.
“Brother, you are too brave.”
“What a tough child.”
“I was wrong about you just now, I’m sorry.”
There were many comments like this. Lan Yanran read a few and didn’t care anymore.
He then joined the variety show and started filming as though nothing had happened.
