What if someone makes a rumor?

There is an old saying in China: The worse it gets, the best way to deal with rumors is to say nothing and make no excuses. It's not true if you talk to her about it. If you ignore it, no one will mention it after a while. You can think that that person is jealous of you. If you really care, you might as well pretend to be ill and let the people who heard your rumors (preferably those who have a good relationship with the rumors) talk to you.
