Hello! Double update hehe. Didn't expect this chapter to be so difficult to translate, I had to ask some of my friends for some parts but well as you'll see there are still many notes (I think that there is as much notes as there is content lmao) Enjoy!
-------------------------------------
After a night's fermentation, things had gotten worse. The discussion among the netizens about the love between the two became even more intense.
PureTianRanNotContaminated [1]: Being able to see the news that two guys are dating, I can die without regrets.
[1] "纯天然无污染" it's a netizen's username but can't translate it
【Comment】Little Rabbit: Little students shouldn't say anything, I really don't want to say anything about your comment. [2] Really, like celebrity like fan. [3]
[2] "小学生就别出来蹦跶了，你那措辞我都不想说什么了 " I'm not sure about this one, I really have problems translating netizens' comments lmao
[3] "真是什么样的人有什么样的粉丝." I think that it means something like the apple doesn't fall far from the tree
LovingTianRanTheMost: Although I am happy to see that TianRan are really together, after being exposed, I have no choice but to think about what is going to happen to them in the future. If they get harmed, I'd rather they break up.
WhoDaresToSayYou'reNotNatural [4]: Anyway, I'll always be by my husbands' side! I love you guys!
[4] "天然": I think that's a pun. The Tian character in Yuntian and the Ran character in Qiran, when put together make the word natural.
The main topic that spread like wildfire on the Internet was the couple in cc. In today's society, fujoshis can make a great deal about it. When fujoshis faced a couple that was famous or attractive just like cc, it spread everywhere, just like a huge chemical reaction.
That's why they are called an evil cult. They aren't approved by the official fanclub and are considered to have disrupted the relationship between cc.
So when cc's relationship was exposed, they were the happiest.
TheMostLovelyAndTouching [6]: Hehe, didn't think that the husband I had been following for four years was gay. I am now blind, you are a stranger to me now.
[6] "最是楚楚动人" can't translate the username
XiaoMengMengStandUp: Didn't they say they were just friends? Why aren't they telling us that they are just friends? Gay love is the most disgusting!
QiQiRanRan: No matter what, I'll always support you! Fighting
YourSisterIsAQueen: I already said that these two celebrities were disgusting [7], didn't expect them to really be gay hahaha
[7] "恶心巴拉的了" don't know what it means
Flower123: Strangers show that it ate a big whale. [8]
[8] "路人表示吃了一大鲸" lmaooooo what?
SmallPoutIsTheCutest: Strangers turned shady. [9]
[9] "路人转黑" what?
On Internet, most fans said that they couldn't disregard, accept the relationship. Only a few fans said that they'll continue to support them. Neither strangers could accept it so they filled the topics with insults.
Chu Yuntian spent the morning reading those blogs on Weibo and swept through all the supportive and unsupportive comments.
Even though he was usually able to restrain himself, seeing all those comments filled with insults turned his mood sour and wanted to insult them.
Ding ling ling...
A phone rang, it was Xiao Xiao, one of his closest friends who was in the same company. When Chu Yuntian had just debuted, Xiao Xiao often helped him. Xiao Xiao had debuted ten years ago and was a really famous female singer who was called a goddess. As long as she was in a album, it would always sell out. As long as she held a concert, it would be very hard to find a ticket as it would always sell out.
"Xiao-jie." Chu Yuntian quietly said, voice full of sorrow as it was useless to keep a facade in front of his friends.
"Is Li Qiran with you?" the beautiful female voice said.
"He isn't, why? Do you want me to call him over?" Chu Yuntian asked even though he knew that by the sound of her voice, she didn't want him here.
"There's no need. The company had the meeting this morning and I was there." As one of the company's shareholder, she was of course called over since it was a very big matter.
"Jiang Shuai didn't know how to convince the directors. They are intending to abandon you but clear Li Qiran's name." When Xiao Xiao finished talking, neither of them spoke, letting a silence take place.
"Why?" Chu Yuntian asked, after a long time.
Xiao Xiao sighed.
"Jiang Shuai is Han Jun's brother. He has a good relationship with the directors. As for why, you should ask Li Qiran. Jiang Shuai is interested in Li Qiran, I thought you already knew."
Jiang Shuai is Han Jun's brother, who is Xing Yao's president. Regarding Jiang Shuai's contacts in the industry, it was not a secret that it was mostly due to his status. As for Jiang Shuai's interest in Li Qiran, Chu Yuntian still couldn't react.
"How can Jiang-ge be interested in Ranran?" Chu Yuntian said, bewildered.
"Everybody can see it!" Xiao Xiao impatiently [10] said.
[10] "恨铁不成钢" not sure
"Even if Li Qiran and you choose, the company is still taking you out. Even though Jiang Shuai likes Li Qiran, he will always search for some benefits, unless Li Qiran promises something to Jiang Shuai, otherwise why would the directors stay on this position?"
Xiao Xiao's words made Chu Yuntian remember that yesterday night, Li Qiran insisted on sending Jiang Shuai off. It all made sense but he still couldn't believe it.
Did Li Qiran really begged Jiang Shuai? Is Jiang Shuai really interested in Li Qiran? Why would Jiang Shuai recklessly help Li Qiran?
Chu Yuntian stayed silent for a long while, phone in his hand, until the sound of the door opening made him react.
"Xiao Tian, Jiang-ge called me. The results of the meeting came out." Li Qiran's voice pulled him to reality.
"I'll hang up first." Chu Yuntian hurriedly said while hanging up.
"How was it?" Chu Yuntian asked while turning to Li Qiran, with a difficult smile.
Seeing Chu Yuntian looking like he still wanted to console him, Li Qiran's heart ached a bit. However, he didn't regret it.
"Jiang-ge said that the company intend to protect me. They want me to say that I was forced into the relationship. Xiao Tian, I don't want it to be like this but this is the company's decision, what do you want me to do?" Li Qiran said, looking sorrowful.
TN: OMGGGGGG I KNEW THAT IT WOULD BE LIKE THIS LI QIRAN 0/20
You are lying, the right part of your face is trembling, it only happens when you lie, Chu Yuntian silently thought.
Seeing that Chu Yuntian was only fixing him and not talking, Li Qiran felt somehow nervous. Could it be that Chu Yuntian already knew about the truth?
"Xiao Tian, Jiang-ge said that since the pictures are from your computer and that you were the one who took all of them, it would be very difficult to help you clear your name. However, the company will certainly not indulge both of us, only one. I also want to stay with you but as we are now, we need someone to take the blame. Don't worry, I will not abandon you. After some time, the company will surely introduce you again."
Chu Yuntian was speechless and couldn't get any words out. "So you planified this with Jiang Shuai?" Chu Yuntian ferociously spat out while staring at Li Qiran.
Li Qiran's eyes grew wide. "Chu Yuntian, what do you mean? Why would Jiang Shuai and I planify this?!! Am I such a person in your eyes? This is the company's decision, not Jiang Shuai and I's decision!" Li Qiran shouted at Chu Yuntian, his face muscles trembling even more.
"Wasn't this planified?" Chu Yuntian said, both of his eyes red, while laughing at Li Qiran.
"Am I not good enough for you? Or my love is not enough? Is work this important? More important than me?" Chu Yuntian said while gradually approaching Li Qiran, tears slowly coming out from his eyes.
"I didn't do it Xiao Tian, I really didn't! This is really the company's decisions, they didn't care about me personally. Moreover, the pictures and videos are all from your computer so it's not my fault at all!" Li Qiran hurriedly said while stepping back from Chu Yuntian. However, Chu Yuntian didn't listen to him at all.
"Okay, let the company protect you, I now see how you really are. We are now over, pack your bags and let Jiang Shuai pick you up. I am nothing now, shouldn't you leave me the house since I was the one who bought it?" Chu Yuntian said indifferently. If it wasn't for the tears that were still present in the rim of his eyes, no one would have known that Chu Yuntian had his heart broken a few moments ago.
Li Qiran couldn't believe it. Did Chu Yuntian just break up like this and force him to leave?
"Get lost!" Chu Yuntian yelled.
Originally, Li Qiran was still uneasy but after seeing how Chu Yuntian reacted and how he became hostile with him so quickly, he stopped trying to explain and went back to the room.
Li Qiran rapidly packed up and Jiang Shuai rapidly arrived. Soon, only Chu Yuntian remained in the house.
Ding ling ling...
Chu Yuntian took a look at his phone and saw that it was from home.
"Hello, mom."
"What's with all the rumors? How can you be gay?" There were only concerns in Chu Yuntian's mom voice, absolutely no blame.
"Mom, I am gay." Chu Yuntian said, tears pouring. He felt relieved. He had been hiding this secret for so long, he can finally say it out loud.
"Mom now knows but doesn't care. You are my son, mom doesn't want you to be a millionaire, only want you to be well and happy. It got discovered by everyone, isn't it very burdensome?" Chu Yuntian's mom worryingly asked.
"Thank you mom. Don't worry, the company will soon solve this problem. It will soon be fine." Chu Yuntian said while wiping his tears and laughing a little bit.
"How can mom not worry? However, if you really can't stay in the entertainment world anymore, just go home. Your dad, your sister and I are here, you will not starve! We raised you! [11]" Maybe it was thanks to Chu Yuntian's mom words but he gradually cheered up.
[11] "咱都养着你!" not sure
Mother and child talked a little bit more before they reluctantly hung up.
Chu Yuntian then threw his phone away and lied down on the sofa.
Now, what should he do?
Next, in order to clear Li Qiran's name, the company will surely make him responsible of everything.
cc will also be disbanded, right?
He suddenly realized that there were also previous endorsement contracts. Would it be considered as a contract's breach? The compensation will not be cheap, right?
By the time when the company speaks up, he will certainly be detested by all and everyone will insult him.
Chu Yuntian, who had to mature in front of the public again, was only twenty-four. He was still perplexed [12], regarding his future.
[12] "在别人面前再成熟老成" not sure
At this moment, at the offices of Rong Guang Entertainment, which was Xing Yao Entertainment rival, the president was also discussing about cc's matters.
"Is Xing Yao about to let go of Chu Yuntian?" Rong Guang's chairman Guan Rui asked, eyebrows raised.
The female secretary standing in front of Chairman Guan felt that his eyebrow went to her heart. [13]
[13] "关总的眉头挑到让心里去了" whaaaaaat
Rong Guang's chairman Guan Rui, aged 27, was the the most rich and powerful person in the entertainment industry. He was everyone's dream boyfriend and was especially handsome. Furthermore, he invested and handled numerous male and female stars. [14]
[14] "更是吸引了大把大把的男星女星" not sure about this one
