Chapter 58: He Never Paid Attention Before, and He Doesn’t Now

This gentleman’s Weibo account had always been untouchable. Liu Wu instinctively called Yu Mozhi “Brother Mo,” and inside the company, no one could touch Yu Mozhi’s Weibo account.

However, this gentleman hadn’t posted a single Weibo in over a hundred years, let alone engage in fake marketing or post selfies. In fact, if Yu Mozhi were willing to engage a little, considering his face, things wouldn’t have ended up like this.

Liu Wu hastily opened Weibo. He didn’t follow many people; previously, he only followed a few directors and some film promotion accounts. After those films were released, the accounts for those films posted less frequently. So, when he opened Weibo, the first thing he saw was Yu Mozhi’s update.

Yu Mozhi: “The birth certificate’s identification is wrong, the lawyer found nothing about this institution, and all the child’s documents are fake—just like those fake jewelry appraisals. I can’t understand how these so-called people with children can confidently lie to the public, attacking a child like this. :)”

Liu Wu: …

My brother, when you don’t post, it’s fine, but when you do post, it’s like you’re trying to offend the entire internet, isn’t it?

“You’re making it easy for them to turn against you.”

Liu Wu rubbed his forehead, feeling dizzy.

After all, the entire internet was criticizing Yu Mozhi. Even though many of the negative voices were from paid commenters, there were still plenty of bystanders who had been misled and seemed to believe the rumors. They kept tagging official accounts and reacting to the situation.

Now, there was a massive anti-Yu Mozhi uproar online, so these words should not have come from him. The best way to handle it was to stay silent and wait for the police to release their findings because the other side had blown the matter out of proportion.

The opposing side probably never expected their attempt to scam and deceive would backfire like this, growing into an online frenzy with marketing accounts spreading it further. They had become flustered and, by the end, were trying to calm the angry netizens, urging them to stay calm, as if there was no way out.

In fact, the situation becoming this big could actually be beneficial when it was clarified later. At that point, the authorities could step in. A clarification from the authorities would be far better than this kind of forgotten scandal, where even if the issue was clarified, no one would care.

At that time, as long as Yu Mozhi kept quiet and cooperated with the authorities’ statements, he could appear as the victim. This would also make the process of dissolving the contract easier.

Now, he had become a neutral party. He probably enjoyed it, but did he really think that the people he had called foolish wouldn’t develop a rebellious attitude toward him?

Yu Mozhi’s expression was indifferent as he slightly tilted his head. His eyes were chilling, even in the sunlight, and his tone was cold, “They say whatever they want. I never cared.”

In the past, he only focused on making films. He never made an effort to manage a fanbase. Most of his fan groups had formed spontaneously before he even contacted Liu Wu, and most of them weren’t particularly young. They had their own jobs, their own lives, and didn’t have the time or energy to obsess over chasing celebrities.

So, he had never cared about the opinions of strangers before, and he didn’t care now.
