Chapter 153: A Colossal Misunderstanding
The two of them had just left the shopping mall and were preparing to return to their hotel when Yang Xiaofan casually took out his phone and was instantly startled.
Whether it was Qin's father and mother, his own parents, Qin Nuanxin, or a large group of relatives and friends including Gu Hao, everyone had left missed calls.
"Crap! Are these people out of their minds?"
Yang Xiaofan was thoroughly taken aback.
He was just about to call one of them to ask what on earth was going on before he even had a chance to dial, Zhao Liufang's call came through.
"Hello! Xiaofan, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, President Zhao. Why are you all calling me like your lives depend on it? What on earth is going on?"
"You don't know yet?"
President Zhao sounded very surprised, which only made Yang Xiaofan even more puzzled.
"Know what? How is it that everyone else knows, and I'm the only one in the dark? What is happening?"
"Then you'd better take a look at Douyin yourself. I don't really know what to say, but I can only advise you to take things lightly. Matters of the heart cannot be forced; they can't be resolved just by how much money you have. However, I must say, Miss Qin's taste is truly terrible. Turning down such a handsome, wealthy, and successful catch like you, she actually went and found some ugly mug. Sigh!"
Hearing President Zhao's words, Yang Xiaofan and Qin Nuanyu exchanged glances, as if they had already guessed something.
Qin Nuanyu immediately opened Douyin, and sure enough, just as they had both anticipated, the top-ranking videos were all claiming that Yang Xiaofan had been cuckolded by Qin Nuanyu.
The faces of the two could not help but twitch violently.
What a massive misunderstanding.
Yang Xiaofan had originally only wanted to use disguise techniques to go out and unwind with Qin Nuanyu. He never expected that they would be secretly filmed in a short video and posted online.
He had forgotten that Qin Nuanyu's exposure rate on the internet was also quite high.
We are completely doomed, this time we are really doomed!
No wonder his parents, Qin's parents, and so many others had been calling him—it turned out everyone had completely misunderstood the situation.
This also made him realize why the employees at the beverage shop earlier had been unwilling to sell him anything and had even wanted to hit him.
Many of those people must have been his fans, right?
They probably wanted to stand up and vent their anger on his behalf.
Over the phone, Zhao Liufang was still continuing to comfort Yang Xiaofan when Yang Xiaofan quickly chimed in:
"President Zhao, you've all misunderstood. That person is actually me! I'm disguised! I've been staying in the hotel for too long, so I put on a disguise to come out and hang out with Nuanyu. It is not at all what you guys are imagining!"
President Zhao on the other end still seemed to be under the misconception and continued:
"Xiaofan, I know, you might find it hard to accept for a moment, but we still have to acknowledge and respect the reality of the situation. You say that person looks completely different from you, but a disguise isn't plastic surgery. Do you take us all for fools? Stop trying to deceive yourself."
Yang Xiaofan felt an inexplicable urge to cry without tears.
No, he had to go back and do a live stream to show everyone the truth, otherwise this misunderstanding would blow completely out of proportion.
Besides, Qin Nuanyu would be torn to shreds by online trolls.
"Alright, President Zhao, believe it or not if you want. I'm going back to do a live stream and show you all, then you'll understand."
With that, Yang Xiaofan directly hung up the phone and hurried back to the hotel with Qin Nuanyu.
As soon as they arrived at the presidential suite on the upper floor of the hotel, they saw Yang's parents and Qin's parents marching out aggressively, looking as if they had come specifically to find Qin Nuanyu and him.
Upon seeing him, both sets of parents turned pale with fury, their eyes blazing with rage.
"Good! You beast, you dared to seduce my daughter, and now you have the nerve to come here—you're courting death!"
"Damn it! You dared to cuckold my son, let's see if I don't beat you to death!"
As the words fell, the four parents rushed forward like madmen, bombarding Yang Xiaofan with a flurry of punches and kicks.
"Ouch! Dad, Mom! Uncle Qin, Auntie Qin, stop hitting me!"
Yang Xiaofan felt utterly aggrieved. No matter how high his martial arts skills were, he couldn't possibly strike his own parents, his father-in-law, and his mother-in-law, could he?
Fortunately, his physical constitution was exceptionally strong and could withstand attacks from ordinary people; otherwise, these people would have beaten him into serious injuries.
"Who's your dad? What nonsense are you spouting? My son doesn't look anything like you."
"That's right! Are you worthy of being called Uncle Qin?"
With that, the four elders unleashed another round of violent blows.
Especially Yang's father, who specifically targeted the most sensitive and vulnerable areas below the belt.
In his eyes, this bastardly beast dared to cuckold his son, so of course he had to beat the guy until he was disabled and left without descendants!
Yang Xiaofan wailed miserably to the heavens, while Qin Nuanyu stood by, completely dumbfounded.
When she finally snapped out of her shock, she rushed forward at the first possible moment to explain.
"Mom, Dad, stop hitting him! He really is Xiaofan. He used a disguise, which is why he doesn't look like his original self."
"Dis... disguise?"
The four elders slowly pulled back their hands, and Yang's mother couldn't help frowning as she said:
"Come to think of it, his voice really is identical to Xiaofan's."
Yang Xiaofan gave his mother a wronged look.
"Mom, you recognized my voice all along? And you still hit me with such lethal force?"
A look of embarrassment crossed Yang's mother's face.
"I... I was blinded by anger, wasn't I? Look at you, having nothing better to do with too much time on your hands, playing around with disguises—who could have ever guessed this would happen?"
Yang Xiaofan felt even more aggrieved.
"Do you think I wanted to wear a disguise? If I weren't so famous right now with fans everywhere I go, would I choose to go out in disguise and waste my time? Without a disguise, I wouldn't even dare step out the door."
"Sigh! It really is hard on you. You don't even have freedom anymore; it's just like living in prison."
"Sigh! We let our anger cloud our judgment, don't take it to heart. Why don't you hurry up and remove your disguise and makeup? Looking at you like this is just too awkward."
Yang Xiaofan shook his head.
"No, I can't remove my makeup right now. I need to go to the live streaming room and take off my makeup right in front of all the netizens, otherwise, everyone's misunderstanding will never be cleared up."
"Right, right, that's the right thing to do. Hurry up and go."
Yang Xiaofan nodded and immediately went to find Qin Nuanxin.
This time, even Qin's father, who had previously disliked Qin Nuanxin's live streaming, didn't stop her. Instead, he helped call out to Qin Nuanxin, telling her to record Yang Xiaofan in close detail.
The moment Qin Nuanxin saw Yang Xiaofan, she was also stunned.
However, thinking of all the incredible feats Yang Xiaofan had accomplished in the past, she quickly calmed down.
The live stream was soon launched, and there was no shortage of abusive comments.
However, most of them were cursing Qin Nuanyu, and by association, sending regards to Qin Nuanxin as well.
Virtually all of them were denouncing the Qin family as ungrateful and shameless.
