Chapter 2197: Betrayed Their Relationship
Ge Qiu had a good character and knew how to care for others. As a result, Du Bing didn’t want to break up with him. Yet, under these circumstances, the two ended up splitting.
Du Bing had been wrongly accused. Even though it was obvious that nothing had happened, Ge Qiu still insisted that she had betrayed their relationship.
Originally, Du Bing denied having romantic interactions with Si Nan and said that Si Nan had set her up.
Ge Qiu was the type of person who was easily swayed by others. Hearing what Du Bing said, he immediately went to question Si Nan.
He asked Si Nan why Si Nan wanted to destroy his relationship with Du Bing.
Si Nan calmly admitted to setting Du Bing up. However, Si Nan said that he had only wanted to test her casually, yet Du Bing ended up betraying Ge Qiu. She was simply an unreliable woman.
Ge Qiu thought about it, believed him, and ultimately broke up with Du Bing.
Du Bing was speechless. Why was she getting dumped—she’d already said that nothing even happened.
Yet Du Bing, seeing that Ge Qiu insisted on breaking up with her, decided ultimately to agree. After all, they would not be happy together if she was in a relationship with someone who didn’t even trust her, where they were forced to be with each other.
It was just a pity that the two years of their college love were lost.
Du Bing thought it was just an ordinary breakup. She didn’t expect that she’d be fired from the company, the reason being that she was not suitable for her job.
Even if she was sacked, it was okay. There were lots of jobs out there, and it was okay to switch employers. However, entertainment sites began to put out news saying Du Bing had seduced Si Nan, a big shot in the entertainment circle, and betrayed her boyfriend.
There were videos and photos where faces were clearly distinguishable on the sites. It was a huge controversy.
Du Bing was not unbelievably beautiful. Thus, there was a lot of hate against her, attacking her for her audacity to seduce men, saying that Du Bing should look in the mirror and that she was delusional for aiming for such a big shot.
To add to that, Ge Qiu was Ji Beiye’s assistant, and Ji Beiye was a huge superstar who had a lot of fans, especially female ones. Ji Beiyi’s fans took the side of Ge Qiu because of this relationship, multiplying the attacks against Du Bing.
As a result, Du Bing became someone detested by all. Many people harassed and cursed at her on social media.
If it was only internet harassment, then she could still let it be, but it would continue even in public. When Du Bing went out to buy things, people pointed at her. When Du Bing went out to a restaurant, people bursting with a sense of righteousness pretended like they’d spilled their food on her by accident.
This whole time, Du Bing still couldn’t understand why Si Nan treated her like this. She had never offended Si Nan.
The cyberbullying made Du Bing miserable. On the Internet, no one needed to be responsible for their own words. Those all-righteous bitches wanted Du Bing to commit suicide as an apology.
Ge Qiu stepped in to ask everyone to stop the crusade against Du Bing. Ge Qiu may have stepped in because he pitied Du Bing, but his appearance did not stop the hate. Instead, it made the situation even worse.
Ge Qiu’s generosity caused the Internet to increase its attacks against Du Bing. They criticized Du Bing for abandoning such a good man like Ge Qiu to climb up the social hierarchy.
They also lamented how public morals seem to be degenerating with each passing day.
This was an era of cancel culture-no one would try to understand the actual truth. After all, the feeling that one could get by engaging in such gossip was above everything else, including logic.
Of course, none of this could’ve been done without the three men who promoted it, trying to make Ge Qiu give up his girlfriend.
If it was for love, the end justifies the means.
Because of this, Du Bing also became a celebrity, although an incredibly vilified one.
Even though she had graduated from college, she still couldn’t find any good jobs. Companies didn’t want tainted employees that everyone crusaded against like Du Bing.
Du Bing could only dejectedly go back to her hometown. But what would she do even after she went back home? Du Bing had already been labeled with the title of a vain infidel.
After disposing of the outside enemy, the three men began to compete for the ownership of Ge Qiu. Ge Qiu basically wandered among the beds of the three different men.
They fought and fought over him, but Ge Qiu didn’t want to hurt anyone, so in the end, they cheerfully shared him.
Meanwhile, when Du Bing returned to her hometown, she was surrounded by familiar people. No matter where she went, they would all point at her and call her shameless.
