Taking advantage of the beauty being poor, fooling her into being my girlfriend

The fervor had reached its peak, and from now on it would only decline.

The time was ripe; it was time to launch the counterattack.

First, Zhou Qingyue released a video statement.

The statement was exclusively posted on Daily Headlines.

In the video, one could see Zhou Qingyue with sunken eyes, extremely dark circles, lifeless eyes, and deathly pale skin, her lips devoid of any color.

Well, the dark circles and lifeless eyes were due to staying up late playing mahjong.

The skin and lips were deliberately made up to look that way.

Normally, after suffering such a long period of cyberbullying, one’s condition would definitely be poor.

This was done to appear pitiful and garner sympathy.

“Hello everyone, I am Zhou Qingyue. The recent events have caused quite a stir, and I would like to apologize to everyone first,” she said.

After speaking, she bowed deeply to the camera.

Her voice choked with sobs as tears streamed down her face.

Those unaware of the situation might think she had suffered a great injustice. In actuality, she’d had a large mouthful of mustard, nearly dying on the spot. She really went all out for the sake of traffic.

Once the video was released, all of Daily Headlines’ traffic focused on it.

Some impatient netizens, having only seen this far, couldn’t help but comment.

“Too pretentious, who would believe this?”

‘Tve never seen someone so disgusting; even with conclusive evidence, she still argues her case.”

“Ban her, she must be banned!”

Zhou Qingyue continued, “I know many people won’t believe me and think I am lying. Please look at these photos…”

She took out another phone and turned it on.

She brought up those face-revealing photos.

Pointing at one showing ‘her back’, she said, “Look, the ‘me’ in this photo has very smooth skin, right.

But what I want to tell everyone is, I have a crescent-shaped birthmark on my back.

And there’s one on my buttock as well.”

Seeing this, netizens still didn’t believe Zhou Qingyue.

There were also comments that even if Zhou Qingyue now had birthmarks, they could have been added later.

And the bullet-screen comments weren’t even out yet; otherwise, the screen would surely be full of swear words.

Immediately afterward, Zhou Qingyue took out a certificate: “I know none of you will believe it, and some might even suspect I’ve faked the birthmarks.

A few days ago, I went to the most authoritative First Hospital in the Capital city and obtained a verification report.

Later on, I will release the relevant photos separately.

Additionally, I have invited several respected seniors from the entertainment and arts circles.

To have them verify for everyone whether I have birthmarks.”

After saying this, several elders appeared on the camera.

Zhou Qingyue introduced them one by one: “This is Kunqu Master Mei Lin, this is Opera Master Zhang Wen, this is Kunqu Master Liang Yue…”

This time, a total of six big names from the performance and arts circles were invited.

Any single one of them, if they stomped their foot, could cause an earthquake in their respective fields.

Online, many young users didn’t even recognize these people.

Some with foul mouths started to spout a few insults.

They were immediately targeted by some more knowledgeable netizens, who enlightened them under a barrage of facts, making them aware of the seniors’ importance.

In addition to their experience, these seniors held official positions.

Criticizing them?

They wouldn’t even know how to spell ‘death’.

After introducing each of the seniors, Zhou Qingyue continued, “I believe everyone is familiar with the character of these seniors.

They are respected and accomplished, definitely not the type of people who would speak on my behalf for money or their own reputation.

“Now, I’d like them to come inside and help me with a medical examination, please wait a moment,” Zhou Qingyue said with a gesture of invitation.

After they entered, Zhou Qingyue followed.

The door closed, and the cameras focused on the big screen.

It wasn’t long, just five minutes, and they came out again.

I don’t know if it was because of the heat or something else, but Zhou Qingyue’s cheeks were flushed, making her look irresistibly charming.

Zhang Wen spoke first: ‘We’ve checked, and this child indeed has two birthmarks, which cannot be faked.”

Liang Yue also said, ‘Tn fact, Xiao Zhou had already provided us with a hospital medical report before we came.

And I had someone verify its authenticity, which turned out to be real indeed.” ‘We are also aware of the recent incidents.”

“For a girl, especially one who’s trying to make it in the entertainment industry, reputation is very important.”

“Right, Xiao Zhou is a pretty decent girl, and shouldn’t be tainted by these slanders.”

“We unanimously believe that the birthmarks and medical report are without issue.”

Zhou Qingyue shed tears of gratitude.

As for acting, I’m a professional.

The video ended here.

And online, the place had completely exploded.

Everyone had thought that Zhou Qingyue was done for this time, destined to leave a stink for ages.

Who could have guessed that, at the last moment, there would be such a bombshell revelation?

But even so, there were still some who doubted Zhou Qingyue’s clarification. However, shortly after, several bloggers started releasing informative posts online.

One of them, a blogger named ‘Luo Luo’, made a post.

[Hi everyone, I am a doctor at the Capital city’s First Hospital. Regarding Miss Zhou’s medical report, I went to check personally, and it’s real]

Afterward, this blogger also posted their work ID and a selfie.

This post quickly climbed to the hot spots.

Subsequently, several other verified professional doctors came forward to confirm that the medical report was legitimate.

The First Hospital is the largest and most legitimate nationwide and is officially managed.

Having operated for decades, it has never had any issues, and the trust it garners from the public is high.

Furthermore, many people didn’t believe that Zhou Qingyue had the influence to make the First Hospital falsify documents for her.

Plus the endorsement from those highly respected seniors.

The overwhelming criticisms against Zhou Qingyue suddenly disappeared without a trace.

In their place was a massive wave of haters turning into fans.

Zhou Qingyue’s fan count across various platforms started to grow wildly.

Less than half an hour later, Zhou Qingyue released another video.

“Hello everyone, tonight at eight o’clock, the television drama ‘Three Lives, Three Worlds, Twenty Miles of Peach Blossoms,’ starring me, will premiere. The TV station has granted Huang Tai exclusive broadcasting rights, and for online streaming, please visit Nuomi Video. Thank you for your support.” Riding this towering wave of traffic, she launched the TV drama to compete against ‘Hunter in the City.’

Originally, this drama had been returned by the TV station.

But after seeing Zhou Qingyue’s meteoric rise, it was bought back at five times the original price.

Just the exclusive broadcast license for the TV station alone cost a whopping three hundred million!

“Now that feels awesome,” Zhou Qingyue lay on the couch.

Her era in entertainment has arrived.

Suddenly, her eyes flickered.

She took out her phone and snapped several pictures of her beautiful legs, and… sent them to Jiang Xu.
