IHWL – Chapter 99.2

   Besides, celebrity was a very special profession. If it was a novel writer or game anchor, the former could hire a ghostwriter, while the latter could find a proxy, but why would a star find a double, ah? So would she leave the filming and advertising to her, and she herself would be lying at home counting money?

    For such nonsense, the Jin Imperial Guards were angry, while spectators were curious. More and more people flocked to the post to find out what was going on.

    The author claimed that his neighbor’s classmate’s former colleague, who was now working for a gossip tabloid, had received a tip that Su Jin was actually played by two people alternately. The tabloid editor-in-chief also was brainy and thought that this kind of gossip was as boring and uninteresting as the rumor years ago about a certain transgender actress, who often wore a silk scarf to cover her Adam’s apple. Hence, he simply brushed it off. As a result, one day, a down and out middle-aged man came to the door, saying he was Su Jin’s father. He claimed that Su Jin became famous but did not support him, so he was asking for media exposure!

    That little tabloid brother went with several other paparazzi. He originally just wanted to write a few strokes and fight for a page. Unexpectedly, he encountered shocking news —— The second Su Jin appeared with a group of bodyguards and smashed the reporters’ cameras. It was said that she was ferocious and evil. She was a female devil!!

    This material was quite believable. The author’s writing style was excellent, and the rise and fall of the sequence of events were just right. In order to prove his argument, he also posted a video of Su Jin’s photos from different periods, comparing signature handwriting, walking postures, and attitude, trying to corroborate his material.

    Someone in the thread replied under a sockpuppet, claiming to be a staff member during the Spring Festival Gala. He said that during the rehearsal, Su Jin couldn’t play the Pipa at first and needed to play accompaniment backstage. But when they were recording, she suddenly could do so again.

    Some people also posted old information, saying that there was a sighting of Su Jin in Australia, but because there were no photos to prove it, the author was choked by the Jin Imperial Guards.

    If everyone just looked at these, it couldn’t be regarded as conclusive yet. Finally, someone posted a close-up of Su Jin when she participated in a variety show —— The tear mole in the corner of her eye, which disappeared during the recording of Wilderness Winner!

    Many melon eaters initially clicked into the post to watch the fun, but after reading this, they were brainwashed by the author and felt that his analysis was very reasonable.

    …Was there really another Su Jin in this world?

    Then where exactly did the real Su Jin go during her disappearance period?

    The longer the thread, the more brainy conspiracy theories there were.

    Some people took this opportunity to disperse and weakly proposed —— “Su Jin herself did not secretly go abroad to give birth to a child, right?”

    The melon eaters: “…”

    The melon eaters: “???”

    The melon eaters: “!!!”

    Wait, this analysis was very reasonable ah!!

    Didn’t Su Jin have a scandal with the young President Mu recently? Could it be that the fake Su Jin stayed in front of the stage, and the real Su Jin went abroad to avoid abortion and bagged the man in one fell swoop?!!

    For some reason, the netizens were now always particularly concerned about the marriage of female celebrities. Who they were dating, who they broke up with, whether they married a rich family or for love, when did they have a child, and when would they have the second… Obviously, they hated being urged to marry by their seven aunts during the Spring Festival holiday; But when it was a celebrity’s turn, they cared more than those seven aunts.

    A variety of real and fake materials were mixed together and caused a temporary clamor, confusing the sight of countless people.

    If the netizens were just fooling around, it was just as well. Suddenly, several unknown tabloid media poke their heads out, claiming to have the ‘real hammer’ and wanting to ‘see them next Monday’!

    And these media were all the paparazzi tabloids that Father Su led to besiege Su Jin that night!

    Internal chaos reigned in the Jin Imperial Guards. Some young fans who had just joined the circle asked Li Juan about the ‘evidence’ picked up by the netizens, wanting to hear her opinion.

    Li Juan replied firmly, “What we need to do now is to believe in Su Jin!”

    As a big fan in the circle, Li Juan came out to stabilize the army and calm many panicked young fans; but when she closed her computer, put down her phone and silently thought about these things, her heart was also filled with a lot of uncertainty.

    She had once met Su Jin in person, and had even given her a role in ‘Mysterious Notes’; later she spent her spare time chasing stars. As a big fan in the circle, she was once invited to attend internal fan meet-and-greets…

    She tried to remember Su Jin at different times, and had to admit that there were indeed obvious differences between the two personalities. It was ‘darkness under the lamp’ before, so nobody thought twice about it; but when the window paper was pierced, that seemingly incongruous feeling was impossible to ignore.

    Li Juan couldn’t say which ‘Su Jin’ she liked more. One gentle, one quick, each had her own style; but as a fan, she was at a loss.

    —— Did Su Jin really fool everyone?

    Regardless of the outcome, before the truth was known, she still chose to believe Su Jin.

    Others could say she was deceiving herself or that she was perhaps infatuated. Following a star was like falling in love. It was a deep emotional connection that was not limited to gender. She didn’t want her obsession, her love, and her dedication to be just the data that the agency and ‘Su Jin’ had played with in the palm of their hands.

    ……

    Just as a storm was brewing, a major news blew up in the circle ——

    —— Su Jin will hold a birthday party this weekend!

    Su Jin had been in the circle for four and a half years, and had spent four birthdays in the circle. Unlike other celebrities, who celebrated every birthday extravagantly, she disappeared for two days before and after each birthday, saying that it was to enjoy a rare birthday break and accompany her family. Every year on her birthday, fans who loved her spontaneously organized assistance activities on land, sea, and air, equipped to spread an array for her.

    But this year, Su Jin suddenly wanted to hold a birthday party!

    There was no advance publicity or no overwhelming press release. The studio’s Weibo, forum and the official website of her agency posted an announcement at the same time, inviting 800 fans, relevant media and advertisers to attend.

    A few hours after the announcement was made, the studio screened the senior fans who met the requirements in the official forum by way of roll points and invited them to the event by their real names. They even arranged round-trip tickets and accommodation for out-of-town fans!

    Many people just slept lazily, but when they opened their eyes again, they found that the sky had changed!

    What exactly is Su Jin’s intention?

    In this kind of storm, Su Jin suddenly decided to hold a birthday party. Was it to appease the hearts of her fans, or… or…

    Li Juan did not dare to think deeply. In the Su Jin support group she joined, the fans who got tickets to the meeting were dancing with ecstasy, and 99 new messages were posted in a minute. But she felt that this was just the calm before the storm.

    However, no matter how big the next rainstorm was, she believed that after the storm, a rainbow would definitely usher in.
