I Just Want to Be in a Relationship

Chapter 68: “Qinghuan, Are They Warm?” (1)

Translator: Guy Gone Bad

This drama of the year finally ended as Xu Ning and Shen Ji’s letter of apology, but the discussing on the internet didn’t stop because of it.

Those who denounced Yu Qinghuan at first now were all as quiet as dumb.

After all this could be rendered as cyber-violence.

It was all by coincidence this time. Xu Ning and Shen Ji happened to have a car accident and put on a dog-biting-dog drama. And it was not until then did those netizens know the truth. But what if there hadn’t been this car accident, would Yu Qinghuan take the blame of stealing other’s agent all his life?

And right at this time, some paparazzi took the photo of Yu Qinghuan discharged from hospital, which caused quite a stir.

He was the innocent one through the whole thing, but suffered such an unforeseen disaster. One could stay cool and think about it. Yu Qinghuan was only an undergraduate who just went out of school not long ago. Besides, how would such a young academic achiever do such a nasty thing?

And overnight the discussing about cyber-violence became heated on.

[Suddenly I realize I am also a keyboard man. I don’t know what other so-called keyboard men w would do in the future. But for me, if I ever meet such a thing, I will definitely make things clear, know what’s happening and then make my statement.]

[I also thought I am the embodiment of justice. I will diss any unfair things. But now I realize I am just a network mob. I should reflect on myself.]

[I feel really awful these days. I don’t know how many people I have mistakenly dissed on internet. I feel very regretful now. Here I will say sorry to those I have wronged.]

...

When those netizens were reflecting on themselves, a few majors of Yu Qinghuan’s Alma Mater Hua Univ. had already planned to select cyber-violence as a topic of the thesis.

As the No. 1 century-old college, Hua Univ. was sagacious and massive. It didn’t speak a word on this thing, but chose this way to support those kids who had ever learned in here silently.

As the only celebrity who had spoken for Yu Qinghuan in this big drama, Zhao Qingyuan immediately received tons of praise from those netizens. They even gave him a title Chinese Good Dude and got over 2 million followers in a short time on Weibo.

If it had been before, Zhao Qingyuan would certainly feel mad with joy and show off on Weibo. But this time, he just gave it a sardonic grin and put down his phone. He said nothing, instead, he decided not to update his Weibo so frequently from now on.

Only an apology and this is over? Such falsehearted apology and praise, he would accept neither.

“Dad, things are over.” In the office, Huo Rong was giving his dad a call, “don’t you ever say that I don’t listen to you. This time I totally stayed out of it. Besides, I also told my underlings to stay out of it. So? Are you happy this time?”

After a pause, he asked wonderingly, “dad, do you have a problem with Yu Qinghuan?”

By rights, Yu Qinghuan is his third’s son’s best friend. Shouldn’t Huo Family help him in the first place? But on the contrary, his father told him to stay out of it and even watched this drama as a bystander.

Even if this person is his own father, Huo Rong thinks it doesn’t make sense.

“Rong,” his father ignored his question and asked him instead, “do you think it’d do Yu Qinghuan any good if you step in?”

Huo Rong answered without thinking, “Of course!”

“What good?” His father asked bitterly, “You can help him once, you can help him twice, but can you watch what the netizens say about him all the time and help him for his whole life? He belongs to the entertainment circle. So such things are not rare. If he doesn’t learn how to deal with it himself, what about in the future?”

Huo Rong got a little confused, “Dad, so you are tempering him? Then how do you think of his way dealing with it this time?”

His father heaved a sigh, “At first he could keep his equanimity, but finally he lost control. The whole thing is Shen Ji and his agent’s fault, but anyway Shen Ji is a B-list celebrity. What about Yu Qinghuan on the other hand? He is only a newcomer in this circle and directly confronted Shen Ji on Weibo. Does he really think the netizens would buy what he said and touched by what he said?”

“Zhao Qinghuan has the right to be unruly, but not him.”

After a pause, he made the conclusion, “He still needs experience and toughening. I meant to let him taste the bitterness of frustration through this thing and let him know every circle has its own unspoken rules and then solve the problem for him. But he was really lucky. Shen Ji had a car accident...Forget it. Take things easy.”

He had three sons he didn’t care at all, but had time and energy to care about other’s kid? Huo Rong was kind of jealous, “you really take Yu Qinghuan as your half-son?”

“Rong,” His father said sternly, “Without Yu Qinghuan, Qu wouldn’t have the big changes now. He has no parents. Your mother and I have raised up three sons, we don’t mind raising one more. For my own kids, I never dote on any of you. The one I will dote on would always be other’s kid.”

“All right.” Huo Rong shrugged and learned to speak with the tone his father used, “Then I also don’t mind having another younger brother.”

“Invite him here this Spring Festival. One person’s Spring Festival is not complete.”

“I know.”
