The audience members were engaged in a lively and enthusiastic discussion.
The live stream's popularity soared, and its ranking on the trending topics list skyrocketed to the top.
Indeed, there are some things that you simply cannot imagine unless you see them with your own eyes.
Previously, Jiang Yue's fans would boast and exaggerate her virtues, saying how adorable she was, how devoted the eldest son of the Zhou family was to her, how much he loved her, and how he couldn't live without her.
They all listened to as mere boasting and rumors to inflate their own status.
If it weren't for the unexpected incident during tonight's live stream, who would have known that these two would interact like this in private?
I was taken aback.
I was deeply shocked.
Zhou Ji must have used at least thirty-seven of the thirty-six stratagems just to stay for the night!
But they really are a perfect match; I don't believe the divorce rumors.
[If you don't believe me, add 1 point.]
[Could this be a publicity stunt?]
[I'll ship them! I'll ship them, okay?!]
[This is undoubtedly a publicity stunt, 99% of the time. Did you even see the divorce certificate?]
[I didn't see the certificate, but I did see the agreement (a staff member from this law firm whispers).]
So, has he now reached the point of pursuing her?
It wasn't until the staff discovered the mistake that they rushed back from their accommodation next door, panting and covered in sweat, and strode over to unplug the power cord from the machine.
The staff member wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, not daring to look up and meet Mr. Zhou's gaze. He said apologetically, "I'm so sorry, Mr. Zhou, Ms. Jiang, our intern didn't realize he hadn't turned off the live stream when he left."
Jiang Yue frowned, recalling that she hadn't said anything she couldn't say.
Who can blame her for being a genuinely good person both on and off camera?
If it were someone like Zhou Ji, who is two-faced, he would have certainly revealed his dark true colors to everyone just now.
"It's okay." Jiang Yue paused for a moment, then continued, "Don't do it again next time."
After all, her qualities can't always withstand the test.
The staff were even more hesitant to face Mr. Zhou's expression, but it was much better than they had expected. Zhou Ji said, "If she's okay, then I'm okay too."
The staff breathed a sigh of relief, deciding not to stay and be third wheels, and were about to leave with their equipment.
Soon after, the other guests on the show also returned to the castle.
Jiang Yue immediately let go of Zhou Ji's sleeve, demonstrating her complete disregard for his feelings. She didn't seem to want him to stay and casually told him, "You can go back now."
Anyone who didn't know better would think she was ordering her servants around.
They come when summoned and leave when dismissed.
Zhou Ji's voice was indifferent: "Does having someone else mean you don't need me anymore?"
Of course.
Without hesitation, not even for a second.
The man stood under the lamp, his pale skin appearing even more ashen. His expression was cold and stern, his features sharply defined, and his eyes were as beautiful as amber, though when he was emotionless, they seemed to reflect a thin layer of frost.
It seems unattainable.
A distant moon.
Zhou Ji sometimes didn't know what to do with her. A forceful, crazy, or overwhelming approach would frighten her or hurt her.
However, overly lenient methods are completely ineffective.
Without strong enough chains, there's no way to keep her in place.
Zhou Ji lowered his eyelashes. It's okay, it's okay. He still has enough patience. He concealed the madness in his eyes without making a sound, and said in a steady voice, "It's too late. I'll sleep in the room next to yours."
He explained, "Tomorrow is Monday, and I'm taking my son to school."
Jiang Yue doesn't care where he sleeps, as long as he doesn't sleep next to her or in her bed.
She even had a slightly malicious thought: it would be best if Zhou Ji encountered a thousand-year-old ghost in the castle room tonight, and was so frightened that he wouldn't dare to use these things to scare her anymore.
However, Zhou Ji is indeed a qualified father.
They always care a lot about things concerning their children.
Between being a father and a husband, Jiang Yue would rather choose Zhou Ji to be her father.
Having a male lead as a father must make life very comfortable.
Jiang Yue went upstairs while thinking about all these messy things. After washing up, she lay in bed and just turned on her phone when she received a message from Zhou Ji from a few minutes earlier.
There are no ghosts.
【Good evening. 】
There were no other ghosts in the castle, of course.
Only she, the coward.
Jiang Yue replied with an emoji, leaned against her pillow and started surfing the internet. She wasn't surprised to see her name at the top of the trending searches; she was already used to it.
That's what happens when you become too famous.
There's no way around it.
Jiang Yue's Weibo followers have doubled compared to before, and the number of followers on her fan club account has also grown significantly.
She naturally saw the live stream clips that had been accidentally leaked.
The comments section was filled with people exclaiming how sweet it was.
"It's even more captivating after the tragic ending!"
"Jiang Yue is so naive, she can't be fooled by such a scheming man."
"If Zhou Ji didn't want a divorce, why did he agree to it?! Does a rich person not know how to keep someone or something?"
"What little tricks are the CEO and his wife playing?"
"9494, this old servant hopes they will stop making trouble. It's more important for the three of us to live a good life."
Jiang Yue felt that netizens were really good at making up their own interpretations. She couldn't see anything sweet about the video, and Zhou Ji had no intention of trying to keep her.
When it's time to make a decision, it's decisive and efficient.
Jiang Yue liked a Weibo post praising herself and then went offline. When she came back online, the software would give her a celebrity notification. Given the recent controversies, everyone thought she would come out and say something.
I didn't expect that she would go offline after I gave her a like.
She didn't even follow back other celebrities who follow her; she acted arrogantly, as if she didn't care who the hell she was.
"Seriously, can't we at least follow our newly popular heartthrob, Lu Ge? The cool captain has been following her for ages, it's so disrespectful!"
"What's so surprising? She never paid any attention to her husband before."
"That's a lot of dicks."
"The person upstairs is hopeless; I've reported it."
"Waaaaah, can my daughter post a selfie? During the live stream today, she was still so beautiful even without makeup. She has such a small face and fair, delicate skin. She's like a beautiful porcelain doll."
Jiang Yue has passed the novelty of using a mobile phone and doesn't like taking pictures much anymore.
She glanced at the time and fell asleep promptly before eleven o'clock.
The recording time always flies by, and it feels like the last day is over in the blink of an eye. As the ratings continue to rise, the station is also trying its best to make more money.
The number of mid-roll ads is so high it's overwhelming.
That's still not enough.
They even made a creative decision to make the "Roommate" program the first to experiment with charging for live streaming, setting a precedent.
The decision was immediately met with a barrage of criticism from the show's fans.
They were furious, calling them money-grubbing freaks!
The station's leaders thought to themselves, "Isn't that right? They're just obsessed with money! If they don't want money, what are they thinking about?"
No matter how fierce the online criticism, this decision cannot be changed.
Jiang Yue's rival fans were laughing hysterically, so pleased with themselves that they almost forgot themselves. Who would spend fifty yuan to watch a live stream? Waiting another week isn't a bad idea.
Isn't this just offering your face to the audience for them to slap?
Jiang Yue has quite a few rival fans now, including not only Ye Lan's fans, but also fans of some other pretty young actresses from the same period, who also see her as a threat.
I'm afraid this young lady might suddenly decide to become an actress one day.
Fearing that Jiang Yue would be dissatisfied, the station director made a special promise to her that after the last episode was recorded, she would return to the popular program "Cultural Relics Through Time".
Jiang Yue has never cared about insults; she doesn't even look at them, and the harm they cause her is zero.
However, she did become somewhat interested in continuing to participate in the previous programs.
Because she was so clever, she discovered that certain aspects of the world's history could only be glimpsed and useful information obtained through this program.
She acted very reluctantly in front of her boss, as if she had suffered a great injustice. She said, "Okay, it's not impossible."
The leader was so grateful to her for her manipulation that he felt the little princess's temper had improved a lot.
…
The laboratory at Kyoto University.
Spring is deepening.
Jiang Zhi stayed up all night in the lab again. It was just past dawn, and the streets were full of students rushing to their 8 a.m. classes.
He had just stepped out of the laboratory building when an unfamiliar figure blocked his way.
A black car was parked not far away.
There were three layers of bodyguards inside and out, and the surroundings were as cold and deserted as if the place had been cleared out.
"Jiang Zhi?"
A cold voice rang out, devoid of any discernible tone.
Jiang Zhi looked up. The man's face was cold and stern, as if he were born with an air of superiority and indifference.
He didn't recognize the other person.
Who are you?
"Let me introduce myself. I am your blood brother, Qin Zhao."
Jiang Zhi's eyelids twitched slightly, but he didn't seem particularly surprised, as if the news had no impact on him.
Qin Zhao was impressed by his composure.
However, according to his understanding, Jiang Zhi and Jiang Yue did not have a very good relationship.
Qin Zhao had no feelings for his younger brother and was indifferent to the matter. He treated it as a task to be completed, without any hesitation in front of Jiang Yue or concern for whether the boy could handle the sudden news.
“Your mother, Ms. Sun Chengfeng, is not your biological mother.”
"You and your sister are both children of the Qin family."
"I hope you can accept it as soon as possible."
"By the way, your sister doesn't know about this yet, so please don't tell her about it for now."
The family was still in turmoil. The grandmother was very reluctant to send Qin Qin back to her original family. The old woman was sentimental and stubborn, and felt that it was not that she couldn't afford to support another person.
They didn't have to send them away.
They should also be blamed for being too heartless.
Qin Zhao wanted to take his sister back, not so that she would suffer the old lady's temper.
Jiang Zhi clenched his fists, his handsome face appearing almost translucent in the sunlight, a feeling he didn't like.
It's like their own territory.
Suddenly offended by someone.
He will no longer be her only family.
