Chapter 465 - Spread Like Wildfire
As Huo Yun Chen was not around in the city, Xia Yu took this chance to cover for her friend and worked extra shifts. Rather than returning to an empty home, it would be better if she kept herself busy. This way, she would not be missing her boyfriend too much.
In the evening, there was an accident not too far away from the hospital.
It was estimated that there were five vehicles involved in the accident. As the hospital where Xia Yu worked was the closest, they arranged to send the injured victim there.
The ER was too busy and Xia Yu was sent over to help the staff there.
When she arrived, there were already a few patients who were screaming and crying as they bear with the pain. There was blood everywhere. The nurses and doctors who were on their shift ran around the hospital to give the patients a quick treatment.
Xia Yu reported to the nurse there and was quickly sent to help one of the doctors there.
Because she was too busy, Xia Yu was unable to look at her phone.
At this time, Huo Yun Chen's dating scandal was exposed and his rumored girlfriend's identity was revealed as well.
The internet was in chaos and many of Huo Yun Chen's fans were scolding Xia Yu, saying that this girl had an impure motive when she approached Huo Yun Chen.
A sharp-eyed fan look at Xia Yu and recognized her as the person who was seen at the hotel with Huo Yun Chen not too long ago.
It was said that Xia Yu was a materialistic girl who had approached Mrs. Lu and befriended her before she get close to Huo un Chen.
Someone posted the video where Mother Xia had scolded Xia Yu in front of the court and the netizen began to criticize Xia Yu as unfilial.
Then, rumors of Xia Yu cutting ties with her mother circulated. It was said that she was too embarrassed by her poor background and chose to abandon her poor, sickly mother just to approach Huo Yun Chen.
Because Xia Yu and Huo Yun Chen both did not react to this news, the netizen took this chance to talk badly about Xia Yu.
When NEXT Entertainment noticed this news, there were already a lot of speculations, and everything spread like wildfire.
Huo Yun Chen, his manager, and his team were unable to be contacted as they were away to shoot a program.
NEXT Entertainment quickly suppressed this rumor but without both Huo Yun Chen and Xia Yu's statements, there was not much that they can do.
Xia Yu only left the ER department half an hour after midnight.
When she returned to her department, wanting to get change and get some sleep, Xia Yu realized that her co-workers were gathered around the nurse's station, whispering something.
As she approached, the whispering stopped but the nurses were looking at her strangely.
"What's wrong?" Xia Yu asked.
Nurse Lin glanced at his colleague before he walked over to Xia Yu's side and tugged at her arms. "Xia Yu, follow me."
Xia Yu frowned but did not resist him. "Nurse Lin, what's wrong?"
Nurse Lin brought her over to a quiet corner and looked at her with a serious look on his face. "I take it that you haven't seen the news yet."
"What news?"
After staying in the ER department for a few hours, Xia Yu was too tired to argue about anything. The only thing she could think about was the bed.
Nurse Lin pulled out his phone and tapped his fingers on the screen. A while later, the news that he had screenshotted earlier appeared on his screen. Nurse Lin passed his phone to Xia Yu and let her read the news that was written about her.
"This is only the screenshots I got earlier. The news has been suppressed and pulled out," Nurse Lin said. "However, the netizen was still talking about this matter."
Xia Yu's heartbeat accelerated as she read the message. She had not thought that her relationship with Huo Yun Chen would be exposed this quickly. Moreover... the way they wrote about her was as if she was a cheap slut.
Her throat went dry and Xia Yu did not know how to respond. There were too many things going on in her mind and her body was too tired.
"Xia Yu," Nurse Lin called her name, snapping her out of her trance. "Are you... dating Huo Yun Chen? That celebrity, Huo Yun Chen?"
Xia Yu bit her lips. Then, slowly, she nodded. "But it wasn't like what they said about me."
"I know. Xia Yu, I have worked alongside you for years. I know that what's on the internet was pure slander," Nurse Lin said. "However, Xia Yu, what are you going to do about this?"
"I don't know." She had never faced something like this before. How would she know what she wanted to do next?
"Why don't you call Mr. Huo and ask him what he's planning to do next. This matter also involved him. It couldn't be that he's planning to push everything to you, right?"
When Nurse Lin remember that Huo Yun Chen had not come out with his statement regarding this matter, his opinion towards that celebrity worsen.
He used to think that Huo Yun Chen was one of the humble celebrities he met. Nurse Lin did not expect that Huo Yun Chen would be trash.
Xia Yu took out her phone, wanting to ask her boyfriend about this matter. However, she soon remember that he was away and could not be reached.
"No. I can't contact him."
"Why not?" Nurse Lin's expression turned ugly.
Xia Yu was pitiful enough. If Huo Yun Chen only considered Xia Yu as his plaything, then he would not hesitate to throw a punch on the man's face if he appeared.
"Huo Yun Chen, he... He's filming in a small village in T City," Xia Yu said. "The place's signal reception is terrible. He had to leave the village to get the signal."
Nurse Lin's expression changed when he realized the reason Huo Yun Chen had not spoken a word about it.
The sounds of footsteps approached as Xia Yu continued to think of what she should do.
A man dressed in a black suit stopped and looked at her with a serious look on his face. "Are you Miss Xia Yu?"
Xia Yu gave the man a lookover before she nodded. "Yes. You are?"
"My surname is Bei. I worked for President Lu Xun. President Lu sends me over to find you. He.... want to see you."
