Before Gu Yanchen could give his consent, Su Wan, who had only just begun to make a name for herself in showbiz, was suddenly exposed for having been secretly married for years.
The wholesome girl-next-door image she had carefully cultivated came crashing down. Countless fans turned against her, and the internet was flooded with insults. To limit the damage, Su Wan immediately issued a public clarification: She was unmarried and had no partner.
But the very next day, major entertainment accounts released high-resolution photos of her entering a luxury mansion in the city center late at night and staying there until morning. The owner of the mansion was none other than Gu Yanchen, a business tycoon who had recently returned to the country under the radar and controlled a cutting-edge technology empire.
Not long after, a reporter asked Gu Yanchen about the rumor during a financial interview. He calmly raised his hand, revealing the wedding ring on his finger, and replied in an even tone:
“My wife.”
Hounded by reporters, Su Wan could only force a smile as she replied:
“We’re incompatible. We’ve discussed getting a divorce.”
Soon afterward, at his company’s annual press conference, Gu Yanchen made a solemn statement before the assembled media and business partners:
“My marriage is stable. I have no plans to divorce.”
After watching this extreme back-and-forth, gossip-hungry netizens across the internet left the same comment:
Yeah, right.
