CEO's Sweetheart is a Super Idol-Chapter 140 - 137: Four-Way Melee

Then, Lan Yening issued a statement:

Recently, someone has been spreading rumors about me online, causing great harm to both myself and my fans.

Here, I want to address my involvement in "cross-dressing."

First, this is a passion of mine, and second, it is how I make a living.

Although there are indeed some negative aspects in this circle, and I have encountered some unfortunate events, I have never done anything that violates moral boundaries.

When I first joined this circle, I just wanted to exchange cross-dressing experiences with like-minded "sisters"—like how to use makeup, skincare tips, and so on. I was genuinely happy at that time.

However, I gradually realized that many people with impure motives were deliberately getting close to us.

Their intentions were truly disgusting. They thought of us as a group of men with fetishes, mentally twisted individuals who wanted to become women.

These people looked at us with nothing but animalistic, dark desires.

In their eyes, we were nothing more than cheap commodities they could toy with without spending a cent. They didn’t even see us as human.

Despite facing these injustices, I couldn’t leave this circle because I needed to earn money to pay for my mother’s medical treatment.

But I can swear that every penny I’ve earned has been clean. I often perform in cosplay shows, earning hundreds to thousands from each performance. With this money, I could ensure my mother wouldn’t lose her life to illness.

If you think I’m "dirty," you can leave, but please, don’t hurt me.

Xiao Li couldn’t help but tear up after reading Lan Yening’s statement.

She felt her brother was incredibly pitiful—no wonder he still used Xiao Mi.

If someone is working hard to save their mother’s life, what’s wrong with that?

How could someone so devoted to their mother be a bad person?

"Wuwu, wuwu, brother, brother..."

Xiao Li laid her head on the desk and cried, overwhelmed by a desire to pour out all her grievances to the world.

Villa

Lan Yening stood holding a wine glass before two women.

Zhang Shuya, reading feedback reports from her team, finally heaved a sigh of relief: "The feedback is positive. The voices online are overwhelmingly in support of Xiao Ning."

Wearing a linen women’s casual outfit, Tong Jie glanced over the report and also relaxed: "Sister Zhang, the report isn’t bad, but can we be sure Xiao Ning’s situation is clean?" freewebnσvel.cѳm

Hearing the word "clean," Lan Yening felt a pang of sadness, a shadow crossing his features.

"Don’t worry. Don’t you know me by now? Someone unclean could never end up under my charge," Zhang Shuya said confidently with a smile, casting a glance at Lan Yening.

"That’s reassuring. I trust Xiao Ning, too. You know, our musical theater productions may not be profitable, but our standards for performers are very high." Tong Jie gave a reserved smile, setting her wine glass down.

"Xiao Ning, since Tong Jie cares so much about you, you should drink a few glasses with your Sister Tong tonight."

"Hehe, Xinya, with you here, how would I dare let Xiao Ning accompany me? Otherwise, it wouldn’t be wine we’re drinking but vinegar."

Zhang Shuya’s face remained adorned with a radiant smile, though her heart bled: "Dear sister, I’m not so oblivious as to stay. I’ll head back and deal with some pending work."

"No, if dear sister really leaves, Sister Tong here will feel incredibly sad. Why don’t we all stay, drink, and admire the flowers together?"

Lan Yening, seeing these two middle-aged women treat him like he was invisible, felt nothing but humiliation and helplessness. For now, he could only endure—lashing out without power would be a fool’s death wish.

Draining the wine in his glass, Lan Yening flashed a warm, sunny smile: "Alright, let’s drink and admire the flowers together."

Zhang Shuya, though annoyed, didn’t refuse. After all, she had done plenty of things against her will before reaching her current position.

Shenghai

Yuehua Company

The team monitoring online activity suddenly realized that a large number of marketing accounts were focusing fire on Meng Meixuan and Wu Zixuan.

Many posts compared Ye Yuwei unfavorably to the two, trying to stir up conflict.

When this was reported to higher-ups, the company immediately stepped in to suppress the wave of attacks.

This was because Yuehua had more critical issues to address and didn’t want the situation to escalate further.

Unexpectedly, by evening, attacks against Ye Yuwei erupted across the internet.

On every platform, Meng Meixuan and Wu Zixuan were being criticized, while comparisons between Galaxy and Yuehua emerged, accompanied by numerous exposés on Yuehua’s scandals.

Old Mu at Galaxy was livid within the company.

"What’s going on? Didn’t I tell you to find someone to throw some dirt on those two Yuehua people? How did it blow up this much?" Old Mu roared at Shen Xing.

"Chairman Mu, it wasn’t me! You saw it yourself—we don’t even have the budget to stir up such a huge commotion!" Shen Xing, terrified of further reprimands, scrambled to defend himself.

Yuehua Company

Tang Tang, in her forties, impeccably groomed and exuding a strong businesswoman aura, was also furious.

"Has Galaxy gone mad?"

"Clearly, they’re determined to help Ye Yuwei debut. Alright, get in touch with our people. Fight back against Galaxy with everything we’ve got."

Yuehua, as an established entertainment giant with immense resources, quickly retaliated. Within an hour, dirt on Ye Yuwei was spreading virally across the internet.

The most excited were the River Fans. They were desperate to see Ye Yuwei fall. If she could crash out live on PocketTV, even better.

The war raged late into the night. Just when everyone thought the day’s drama had subsided, another bombshell dropped—an alleged scandal involving a Yuehua male idol and a semi-Japanese fan girl.

The exposé claimed the leak came from the idol’s own "site master" fan.

The most bizarre part? The male idol reportedly disclosed the information himself, wanting to "share his deepest secrets and warm moments" with his most loyal fan. Truly outrageous.

Not even thirty minutes passed before another exposé surfaced, alleging Meng Meixuan’s messy personal life, including affairs with senior trainees during her stint in Japan.

Soon after, Ye Yuwei was hit with rumors of having had a child out of wedlock with a benefactor, showing alleged hospital visits, doctor’s notes, and even a birth certificate.

The source? A big fan of a known Galaxy idol, none other than Lu Bingbing.

This threw the entire fandom into chaos. For the River Fans, it was acceptable to criticize Ye Yuwei—but accusing her of having a man? That crossed the line. It wasn’t just a breach of her idol status; to them, it was tantamount to betrayal.

Angry fans jumped to Ye Yuwei’s defense, refuting the claims and questioning why Lu Bingbing’s fan would lie, tarnishing their idol’s name.

Under immense pressure, that big fan quit the fandom and revealed they were coerced by a phone call, allegedly from Galaxy’s internal staff.

The revelation drove the River Fans into a frenzy as it confirmed their suspicions that Galaxy was prioritizing Ye Yuwei over Lu Bingbing. The final straw? Galaxy’s website posted an encouragement message for the "General Election," featuring Lu Bingbing urging fans to vote for her.

But this was clearly a ploy by the company, which infuriated Bingbing’s fans and supporters—so much so that they began flooding Galaxy’s official page with a single comment: "You think I’ll vote? Dream on."

Old Mu panicked. If the election collapsed, everything would fall apart.

The order to target Ye Yuwei’s reputation had indeed come from Old Mu. His plan was to shift blame onto Lu Bingbing afterward, then swoop in as a savior to coerce her into fully committing to the election.

But the backlash backfired spectacularly, creating discord even within Galaxy’s own trainee ranks, who were aware of the inside story.

Shen Xing became the scapegoat, though he hadn’t anticipated things spiraling so far out of control.

The election poster was meant to warn fans Galaxy wouldn’t support Lu Bingbing debuting on Penguin’s show—it was all Old Mu’s idea.

However, they forgot one key thing: by sidelining Lu Bingbing, fans would inevitably believe Galaxy was siding with Ye Yuwei.

The River Fans analyzed the situation further, suspecting Galaxy’s real plan was to promote Ye Yuwei via the T-idol show while keeping Lu Bingbing to rake in cash through the General Election. This theory gained traction within the fandom.

Old Mu found himself in an impossible situation. He couldn’t reveal Ye Yuwei and Galaxy only had a temporary contract—doing so would provoke Penguin’s wrath.

Minutes after posting the controversial poster, it was taken down, and Galaxy issued a new statement committing to fully supporting both Ye Yuwei and Lu Bingbing’s debuts on the T-idol program.

Ultimately, under Old Mu and Shen Xing’s erratic decisions, the situation spiraled into chaos, veering toward an outcome no one could predict.
