Rejected by Blood, Embraced by Love: All-Round Star Goes Viral

Gu Zhiling curved her lips coldly.

She hadn't expected Gu Yiyi to be so bold.

It's not scary if someone is stupid, or bad, but being both stupid and bad is terrifying.

Jiang Xiangwan, seeing the Weibo post, couldn't help but get angry. Her little face wrinkled, and she whispered into her ear:

"How can Gu Yiyi be like this? She was the one who suggested the race, and she fell, it wasn't your doing. Posting this kind of Weibo is just deliberately directing it onto you!"

Gu Zhi chuckled coldly but didn't say anything. She saw that Dai Qian had also sent her a message on WeChat, asking about what happened that afternoon and how she planned to respond.

Gu Zhi just replied with eight words: "No need to worry, someone will handle it."

Having eaten such a silent loss, the program crew naturally didn't want to take the blame, and how could a national-level scenic spot be so easily provoked?

The audience in the live streaming room focused their gaze on the two of them.

[What are Wanwan and Zhi Zhi whispering about? So sweet.]

[I really want to know what gossip they're discussing, hhh, could it be they're together badmouthing Gu Yiyi?]

[I bet they are, especially since Gu Yiyi isn't here. What a pity if they don't badmouth her together.]

[? Our Yiyi is the victim here, what right does Gu Zhi have to badmouth her?]

[Give it a rest, do you really think the program crew are easily bullied? Go check out the program crew's new Weibo post before trying to whitewash.]

As soon as this was said, the audience in the live stream all became curious, quickly exited the live stream, and opened Weibo.

As soon as they clicked into the program crew's official account, they saw a video posted just a minute ago.

Dear Family V: We apologize for the injury sustained by the guest @Gu Yiyi during the program. It was indeed our negligence in not taking proper care of our guest. Here is the full video of @Teacher Yiyi's incident, released to give all who care about Teacher Yiyi and our viewers a more comprehensive understanding. Also, we remind all netizens to be cautious while traveling and not to perform any dangerous actions in scenic spots.

The video showed footage of Gu Zhi and Gu Yiyi racing camels, shot by the program crew's drone.

Although their PD couldn't keep up during the race, such precious footage could not be missed, though many probably didn't see the program crew's drone.

The footage showed Gu Zhi quickly overtaking Qi Yunlin and Gu Yiyi on her camel, moving so gracefully that viewers couldn't clearly see how she did it.

Seeing Gu Zhi catching up, Gu Yiyi panicked, wildly whipping her camel to overtake Gu Zhi at the turn, but unexpectedly frightened the camel, causing it to charge recklessly in the other direction.

And yet, Gu Yiyi continued whipping, trying to control and pull the camel, eventually infuriating it completely until she was thrown off entirely.

Viewers, upon seeing the video, immediately understood, with more anger than before.

"After watching the whole process, so she fell off herself? Gu Zhi never even touched her! She's been playing the netizens for fools again and again, is Gu Yiyi ever going to stop?"

"She even whipped the scenic camel, oh my god, this woman is incredibly vicious. Did the scenic camel provoke her?"

"Still has the nerve to play the victim? @Gu Yiyi, shouldn't you give the scenic area an explanation? Did you pay the medical fees for such harsh whippings? Come out and apologize!"

"Gu Yiyi, don't be too obvious, by the way, Gu Zhi looked so cool racing that camel! I'm dreaming about this tonight!"

"And the program crew hahaha, it's the first time I've seen such a sarcastic official account. Making green tea paths, so green tea has no path to follow /dog head."

"The focus above is skewed. The main point now is to make Gu Yiyi give an explanation to the scenic spot and Gu Zhi, throwing dirt on others after insisting on the race herself!? @Gu Yiyi."

This video release from the program crew instantly sparked public outrage. Even casual viewers, upon seeing the scenic camels being whipped by Gu Yiyi, couldn't stand it.

Meanwhile, Gu Yiyi's fans never expected the program crew to have a complete video and were caught off guard, instantly a bit flustered.

Yet they persistently defended her:

"Camels are just animals, so what if it's whipped? Don't the zookeepers whip camels too?"

"Gu Zhi rode so fast, I just don't believe she didn't whip, she must've whipped even harder."

"This video has to be edited, right? Everyone knows this show is a redemption arc for Gu Zhi. The program crew deliberately edited the video to redeem Gu Zhi!"

Onlookers, seeing these comments, were speechless with anger and couldn't help but stand up for Gu Zhi:

"If you say the video is edited by the program crew, you can slow it down frame by frame, each scene connects seamlessly without any editing traces."

"Haters, don't be too absurd, Gu Zhi didn't even have a whip, so how could she whip? Only your idol abuses animals /smile."

"Is it a redemption arc for Gu Zhi or someone exposing their true colors? It's pretty clear what kind of person someone is after these six episodes, right?"

"@Gu Yiyi stop playing dead, apologize to the camel you hurt!"

In the hospital, Gu Yiyi, who was originally recuperating quietly, was also awakened by the incessant @ mentions about her.

Upon opening her phone, she received countless derogatory private messages.

She was stunned, her phone nearly slipping from her hands.

Weibo was filled with netizens questioning her about whipping the scenic camels.

That's when she saw the video posted by the program crew.

Gu Yiyi took a deep breath, feeling furious to the point of trembling.

The program crew actually sided with Gu Zhi!!

And now the entire situation has changed, everyone is focused on her whipping the camel and won't let it go!

If she doesn't come forward to explain, it would confirm this matter, and the situation would be very unfavorable to her!

Gu Yiyi felt a burst of irritation, scrolled through the comments for a long time, and finally found a fan asking why she did it.

Hesitating for quite a while, she finally replied:

Gu Yiyi replied to Yilu Xiangyang Weibo: The whip was provided by the scenic spot, whether racing horses or camels, it is needed. I've been accustomed to horse racing since childhood; only by whipping can they run faster. I just didn't expect the camels at the scenic spot to be so sensitive, and I didn't whip them that much... But my actions are indeed not advisable, and as a result, I got seriously injured, let it be a lesson for everyone.

Fans, seeing Gu Yiyi's response, instantly felt relieved.

The onlookers, however, were once again angered:

"What does she mean by not whipping much? How many more whips does she want to give?"

"Even her reply is so high and mighty, without any acknowledgment of wrongdoing, not even an apology. Who gave her the privilege to be so noble?"

"You're seriously injured? The camels at the scenic area are the ones seriously injured, everyone go check out the scenic area's post, where the camel still hasn't recovered!"
