Chapter 159 is the official announcement.

Lin Manxi bit her lip: "I understand, Dad. I'll go back now."

Lin Heping waved his hand, and Lin Manxi ignored the probing gazes outside, turned around and ran out.

As Lin Manxi emerged from the Sega building, her once-perfect makeup was now ruined by tears, and she looked utterly disheveled.

She was driven here by her driver, and after dropping Lin Manxi off at the company, she told the driver to go home.

So even though she was in a sorry state, all she could do was stand by the roadside and flag down a car, tears streaming down her face.

She never imagined that Luo Jia, that brat, was so capable that he could even access the surveillance footage of hotels under the Song Group.

What's even more infuriating is that he didn't threaten her with the video or try to negotiate with her; he just directly posted the video online.

Sitting in the back seat of the taxi, Lin Manyi gripped her phone tightly, repeatedly looking at the Weibo post that Luo Jiayin had published that morning.

In fact, Luo Jiayin's Weibo posts were very simple, so simple that apart from the released surveillance video, there wasn't a single word in the posts.

But that's precisely why the more he keeps quiet, the more imaginative netizens become, eager to speculate on the ins and outs of the matter.

Modern netizens have a firm grasp on conspiracy theories.

In just a short while, Lin Manxi was already surrounded by a barrage of criticism online.

Lin Manxi suppressed her grievances and continued reading.

Suddenly, her hand holding the phone began to tremble uncontrollably.

She actually saw a figure on the surveillance camera that she knew all too well.

It was Gu Yishen!

He helped Luo Jia!!

Lin Manxi suddenly felt a sense of suffocation.

Her eyes were already filled with tears, and everything in front of her was foggy.

But even in that blurry scene, she saw Gu Yishen bend down and approach Luo Jia, then carefully pick up the seemingly unconscious Luo Jia and walk in another direction.

She turned off her phone, buried her head in her arms, and cried silently.

This scene kept playing in Lin Manxi's mind, as if she were possessed.

She didn't know how much time had passed before she finally regained her composure.

Actually, the car had been at her doorstep for a while, but seeing how heartbroken she was, the driver couldn't bear to urge her to get out.

Lin Manxi glanced out the window and realized they had arrived at their destination.

She wiped away her tears, thanked the driver, tossed him a few hundred-yuan bills, and got out of the car.

...

Back home, Lin Manxi ignored the maid's concerned inquiries and went straight to her room.

She wiped away her tears, reopened her phone, and logged into Weibo to search for Luo Jia's name.

On Luo Jia's personal Weibo page, the latest post is no longer the surveillance video that exposed Lin Manxi's actions at the Jinjiang Inn Hotel this morning.

[Luo Jia V: I have a question. How do people usually react to a "hero saves the damsel in distress" situation? Is it necessary to repay the favor with one's body? @Gu Yishen]

Gu Yishen, on the other hand, reposted Luo Jiayin's Weibo post and added the comment: "Then please guide me in the future."

When Luo Jia and Gu Yishen saw what the two did, their fans went wild.

The comments section for the two individuals wasn't just a hot topic among their fans.

Almost the entire internet is discussing Luo Jia and Gu Yishen's "please give me more guidance" situation.

For a moment, everyone forgot about scolding Lin Manxi.

[Little Peach: I'll repay you with my body! Of course I'll repay you with my body!!!]

[Gu Jia Xiaomi Mi: Holy crap, does this mean they've officially announced their relationship?!!!!]

[XiXi's Darling: Are you stupid? This is obviously a publicity stunt, okay? An official announcement? Ask them if they dare!]

[Little Peach: This darling Xixi, where did you get this "Sleeping Dragon and Phoenix Chick" nonsense from? Your mouth is so sarcastic and sarcastic, even the Bagua diagrams hanging on my grandpa's wall aren't as sarcastic as you. Oh~~ you wouldn't happen to be a brainless fan of that scoundrel Lin Manxi, would you? Tsk tsk, so pathetic.]

[Whatever: Exactly! Lin Manxi's simps, get lost!]

[Fish Circle Debunker: Stop arguing, let's stick to the facts. It doesn't seem like an official announcement, does it? Neither Gu Yishen nor Luo Jia seems like the type to be so desperate as to fall for a man. I think their relationship is purely platonic.]

[Red Hat Lost His Hat: I think we should wait and see. It's really hard to say... After all, their previous interactions were so sweet!]

[My favorite Jia Shen: Anyway, I'm going to shower you with pink bubbles first, I'll eat this bowl of hot dog food!!]

Lin Manxi read through each item one by one, and with each item she read, her expression became more and more unpleasant.

She watched as the netizens discussed the matter heatedly on Weibo, and even Gu Yishen and Luo Jia themselves personally responded to some of the comments.

On Gu Yishen and Luo Jia's Weibo accounts, the overall atmosphere was quite harmonious, although occasionally a few people would call her a scheming bitch. Lin Manxi's heart sank to the bottom.

Meanwhile, in the Greentown Apartments, in Luo Jiayin's luxurious mansion, Luo Jiayin herself was comfortably lounging on the sofa with her legs crossed, enjoying her own wonderful comment section, and occasionally sharing her thoughts with Yu Jiu.

Suddenly, a highly-rated comment came into Luo Jiayin's view.

Luo Jiayin took a closer look and laughed.

Hey~~ isn't this an old acquaintance?

[Happy Wang Gangan: It's true! These two are absolutely real!! I'd trade ten years of impotence for Luo Jia and Gu Yishen to be a real couple!!! I only love Jia and Shen! The Jia-Shen flag will never fall!!!]

"puff--!"

Luo Jiayin had just taken a sip of her coffee when she saw this comment and almost burst out laughing.

Upon hearing Luo Jiayin's laughter, Yu Jiu immediately looked up at her in confusion: "What's wrong?"

"Ahem, it's nothing. I just think our Old Wang is getting more and more... adorable." Luo Jiayin waved her hand and said with a smile.

Yu Jiu exclaimed "Huh?" and was about to continue with her work when she glanced at Luo Jiayin's phone and noticed the name of this ID.

Happy Wang Gandan...

Isn't this their kind and respectable Lao Wang? He really is... quite supportive of his artists.

However, when Yu Jiu first saw Luo Jiayin's Weibo post, her reaction was even more intense than President Wang's.

After all, it was a CP she personally shipped, and she was right next to the main character, following Luo Jiayin almost 24/7. Yet, she ended up being the last person on the entire internet to know about her "good thing" with Gu Yishen.

In the morning, Yu Jiu kept following Luo Jiayin around asking her all sorts of questions, trying to figure out how she had missed the secret between the two of them.
