Although Han Mingyi didn't say it explicitly, netizens aren't stupid; they couldn't possibly miss the implication in her words. The live stream chat was flooded with comments, all discussing the information Han Mingyi had just revealed.
Netizen A: "...Does what I mean by 'one person doing the work of two' mean?"
Netizen B: "What else could this mean, upstairs? It's just pregnancy! But I'm more curious about Lu Shao's situation [eating melon.JPG]"
Netizen C: "So Jian Ruoxi is pregnant out of wedlock??? And the child is Lu Shao's???"
Netizen D: "I'm more curious about how Han Mingyi knew such explosive gossip. Did she deliberately let it slip or did she really accidentally let it out? [doge]"
Netizen E: "What do you mean by that? What conspiracy theory? Mingyi obviously had an accident, okay? Didn't you see how panicked she was?"
...
The scene in the live broadcast room was now in complete chaos. Seeing that she had perfectly achieved her goal, Han Mingyi quickly found an excuse to end the interview early. After seeing the media off, she immediately opened her phone and clicked on the trending topics. Sure enough, she saw the hashtag "Jian Ruoxi is pregnant out of wedlock" at the top of the list, followed by the word "hot".
She then opened the homepages of several browsers on her phone and saw news about Jian Ruoxi's premarital pregnancy on all of them.
This has become a hot topic online, and everyone knows about it now.
Han Mingyi smiled with satisfaction: "Jian Ruoxi, let's see what you can do this time!"
At this moment, in Huarui Company, Ran Jie sat in his office watching the uproar over the public opinion, and felt a rare headache.
This matter has generated so much buzz that it's already impacting Hua Rui. He can only keep Jian Ruoxi out of the public eye for now, otherwise it will definitely spark a new round of discussion.
Just then, there was a knock at the door. Ran Jie pinched the bridge of his nose, composed himself, and said, "Come in."
Who will arrive at this time?
Ran Jie looked at the person at the door with a hint of doubt, then his face showed surprise: "Ms. Cang? What brings you here?"
"Ran Jie, why didn't I see Jian Ruoxi at the training today?"
Cang Manrong hadn't seen her student all day, so she had to ask Ran Jie for the reason.
"Ms. Cang, it's not convenient for Jian Ruoxi to come out right now. It's not too late for her to continue training after this matter is over. Please understand."
Ran Jie smiled apologetically at Cang Manrong, but there was still a hint of embarrassment in his eyes.
His emotions didn't escape Cang Manrong's notice. Connecting the dots with the recently broken news, Cang Manrong, having been in the entertainment industry for so long, could easily see through the truth and falsehood of the situation.
"Is what's being said online true? Is Jian Ruoxi really pregnant with the young master of the Lu family's child?"
The gossip she'd been following had come true, leaving Cang Manrong somewhat stunned. Seeing Ran Jie nod in agreement, Cang Manrong, unusually, frowned.
For a female celebrity, being pregnant out of wedlock is a major issue, and can easily become a stain on her reputation for life. Jian Ruoxi is currently at the peak of her career and enjoys immense popularity. The revelation of her pregnancy out of wedlock at this time could easily ruin her future if not handled carefully. Moreover, she has unfortunately been implicated in the prestigious Lu family, which could potentially make her a scapegoat, further complicating her future.
"Ran Jie, does Jian Ruoxi want to keep this child?"
Cang Manrong's question stumped Ran Jie.
He really couldn't figure out Jian Ruoxi's attitude.
The situation is tense on Huarui's side, and it's not much better on Lu's side.
"Tsk, how long have these reporters been squatting here? They're all showing their professionalism at times like this."
Li Anran peeked through the curtains at the reporters staking out the Lu family's residence. The long lenses and cameras around them were really irritating and bothersome to her.
"Jian Ruoxi is really something. She single-handedly trapped our whole family at home, and we can't even leave the house."
The servants standing nearby listened to Li Anran's sarcastic remarks, but simply lowered their eyes and did not agree.
"Young Master, Miss Jian, you've come down."
Hearing the maid's greeting, Li Anran immediately turned around and saw Jian Ruoxi and Lu Shen coming downstairs together. Ignoring Lu Shen's presence, she launched into another sarcastic remark to Jian Ruoxi: "Oh, look who's finally deigned to come down? It's the most capable one in this house, Jian Ruoxi. What, you've finally deigned to come down and see your masterpiece?"
Jian Ruoxi was in a real bind.
She was already upset about the exposure of her affair, but Li Anran just wouldn't stop talking and used it to mock her.
She truly couldn't understand how Han Mingyi knew about her pregnancy, let alone that the child was Lu Shen's. When Ran Jie told her that Han Mingyi had revealed it, she was stunned for a few seconds.
It couldn't be that her disguise was inadequate. She even destroyed her own "pure, delicate, and innocent" persona. A video of her with the words "muscle Barbie" went viral online. Given her behavior, who would think she was "pregnant"?
Luo Yu and Yu Hongxin wouldn't leak this to Han Mingyi. They had a good relationship with her, but practically no connection with Han Mingyi, and in fact, they looked down on her. How could they possibly join her in stabbing her in the back?
Jian Ruoxi couldn't figure it out at all. Ran Jie repeatedly told her that she absolutely must not appear in front of the public and the media right now, and she was really feeling very frustrated.
"Li Anran, what are you saying in a sarcastic tone?"
Jian Ruoxi didn't give in to Li Anran either, and directly exposed her sarcastic remarks.
"You call me sarcastic? What, you dare say this isn't because of you?"
Li Anran was completely unfazed by her, ignoring her expression and continuing her sarcastic remarks, "Sigh. I was wondering why Lu Shen would bring you back to the Lu family to live, but now I understand. It's because you're pregnant. No wonder."
Jian Ruoxi's face turned completely cold. Just as she was about to retort to Li Anran, Lu Shen, who had been standing to the side, spoke first.
“That’s right, I decided to bring Jian Ruoxi back to the Lu family to live because she’s pregnant. That was my decision, so what, Li Anran, do you have a problem with it?”
Lu Shen's tone was light and airy, yet it carried an undeniable and intimidating force, immediately silencing Li Anran.
But Lu Shen wasn't finished speaking.
"To be precise, it was the pregnancy that gave me a reason to bring Jian Ruoxi home. Because she's carrying my child, I can't just ignore her. Bringing her to the Lu family also makes it easier for me to understand her situation and take care of her daily life. I'm the one who got her pregnant, and I'm also the one who brought her home. Li Anran, are you saying this because you're dissatisfied with my actions and decisions?"
