A few days later, Zhou Heng's case was heard in the Yancheng Court. As expected, the news that Zhou Chenlang hired a killer to murder his father began to spread, and it soon became a hot topic.

But the public relations of Huanxing Entertainment had already prepared it. They listed all of Zhou Heng's past misdeeds at the first opportunity, and also announced that Zhou Chenlang hired someone to kill his father because of his deceased mother. This alone proved that Zhou Chenlang was not unfilial. On the contrary, he was too filial and would rather ruin his own future to avenge his mother.

After a series of actions by Huanxing Entertainment, netizens did not unanimously blame Zhou Chenlang as expected. Zhou Heng had been on the hot search list before, and many people knew who he was.

After learning the ins and outs of Zhou Chenlang hiring a killer to murder his father, many people realized that Zhou Heng ruined a woman's life in order to have a son. It is not an exaggeration to attribute the early death of Zhou Chenlang's mother to Zhou Heng.

A new opinion soon emerged on the Internet that Zhou Chenlang was not wrong and Zhou Heng should pay for Zhou Chenlang's mother's life.

This argument was naturally promoted by Huanxing Entertainment, but it was supported by many netizens. After all, scumbags deserve to die, and Zhou Chenlang can be regarded as enforcing justice.

Of course, Weibo's case-solving is useless, but it does represent the attitude of netizens. At least most people feel it is a pity for Zhou Chenlang because he ruined his second half of his life because of a scumbag, but his revenge for his mother is worthy of recognition.

The online public opinion has reached this point, proving that Huanxing Entertainment's public relations was successful. Zhou Chenlang's incident did not affect You Yingxue. Even if You Yingxue's black fans mentioned her, they would be fought back by netizens. Not to mention that it is no longer a practice to implicate others collectively. Even if they really say that You Yingxue and Zhou Chenlang are a couple, Zhou Chenlang is not a bad person, and there is no reason to blame You Yingxue.

Thus, a serious public relations crisis disappeared without a trace.

After watching the entire process of Huanxing Entertainment's public relations, Du Yuanzhe said, "Qiqi, your fans are also involved."

Xia Ningmi raised her eyebrows.

"It's probably because of your relationship with Zhou Chenlang. If they really want to punish you collectively, you'll be a bigger target than You Yingxue. Your fans obviously thought of this and tried to silence others in advance."

Xia Ningmi's fans also helped Huanxing Entertainment's public relations go so smoothly.

Xia Ningmi didn't care. Unlike You Yingxue, she wouldn't be burdened by fame, and Zhou Chenlang had little influence on her.

Du Yuanzhe brought up another matter: "Qiqi, how does it feel to go to court?"

Xia Ningmi wrote a letter of apology to Zhou Chenlang, so naturally she needed to appear in court.

Xia Ning said calmly: "I don't feel anything."

Du Yuanzhe smiled and said, "After all, this is my first experience in court, so I have to feel it well."

Xia Ning glanced at him without saying anything.

"How many years was Zhou Chenlang sentenced to in the end?"

"Two years."

The lawyer Zhou Chenlang hired was indeed very capable, as he was able to set the sentence at two years.

Du Yuanzhe said: "I heard that if you behave well in prison, you can be released early. Maybe he can be released in less than two years."

Xia Ningmi: "Maybe."

Du Yuanzhe sighed, "At first, because of Zhou Heng, I actually didn't like Zhou Chenlang. Now that I know what happened before, Zhou Chenlang can be considered a victim. Only Zhou Heng is a real scumbag."

Jingle Bells——

At this moment, Xia Ningmi's cell phone rang.

Du Yuanzhe took a glance and found that it was Xia Yiyao calling.

Xia Ningmi answered the call, turned on the speakerphone and placed the phone on the table.

"You wrote a letter of apology to Zhou Chenlang?"

Xia Yiyao's questioning voice came from the other end of the microphone.

Xia Ningmi said: "Yes."

"Are you crazy to write a letter of forgiveness to that bastard?"

"It is my freedom to write a letter of apology to anyone."

Xia Yiyao said unhappily, "Have you forgotten who destroyed our family?"

Xia Ningmi said calmly, "The only one who was wrong from the beginning to the end was Zhou Heng. He has already received retribution."

"That illegitimate child is not a good person either. When you testified for him in court, did you ever think about my feelings?"

Xia Ningmi asked back, "You've left me to my grandfather for so many years, have you ever thought about my feelings?"

Xia Yiyao asked impatiently: "If I hadn't handed you over to your grandfather, would you have been a qualified heir?"

Xia Yiyao is also quite amazing. She can always find different angles to prove that she is right. Although she cannot fool other people, she is very effective in fooling herself.

Xia Ningmi had long been disappointed with Xia Yiyao and did not expect her to admit her mistakes. She asked, "Anything else?"

As soon as Xia Yiyao heard this, she knew that Xia Ningmi was annoying her. She was about to explode with anger, but thinking of her own purpose, she suppressed her anger and said, "I have no money. Ask someone to transfer 10 million to me."

Xia Ningmi said in a slightly cold voice: "I said that from now on you will only get dividends."

"I'm your mother, what's wrong with you giving me some money?"

Xia Ningmi hung up the phone directly, too lazy to argue with her.

Du Yuanzhe remained silent until Xia Ningmi hung up the phone before hugging her and saying softly, "Aunt Wu is on leave today. I'll make you whatever you want to eat."

Although Xia Ningmi was no longer sad because of Xia Yiyao, she did not reject Du Yuanzhe's thoughtfulness and said, "Didn't you say before that the beef noodles out there don't have enough beef? Then make me a bowl of beef noodles with enough beef."

Du Yuanzhe immediately agreed: "No problem, I guarantee you will be satisfied."

......

The verdict of Zhou Chenlang spread quickly. When netizens learned that Zhou Chenlang was sentenced to two years and that Xia Ningmi had written a letter of apology for him, they did not treat Zhou Chenlang like a murderer. Instead, they hoped that he could behave well in prison and strive to be released early.

Even more outrageous, some people went to You Yingxue's Weibo to comment that Zhou Chenlang was a good person and asked You Yingxue not to despise him for having been in jail.

As expected, there are all kinds of birds in a big forest.

Although Zhou Chenlang is not a bad person, it was a bit too much for him to comment on You Yingxue's Weibo. This matter should be decided by the parties involved themselves, and the netizens' comments like this give the impression of moral kidnapping.

You Yingxue knew that it was not a good idea to say anything about this matter, so she remained silent and pretended not to have seen those comments.

However, after seeing Zhou Chenlang's sentence, Wei Lingling called Du Yuanzhe and asked, "Yuanzhe, did You Yingxue come to you just to ask President Xia to write a letter of apology?"

Du Yuanzhe nodded: "That's right."

Wei Lingling said somewhat embarrassedly: "I misunderstood."

There was something wrong on You Yingxue's face when she asked her for Du Yuanzhe's cell phone number, and she thought You Yingxue had set her sights on Du Yuanzhe.

When she first talked to Xia Ningmi about this, she also told her own guess. Now she felt embarrassed when she thought about it.

After listening to what Wei Lingling said, Du Yuanzhe said, "You can't be blamed for this. Maybe You Yingxue just wanted you to misunderstand her. We can't judge what kind of person You Yingxue is based on her words and deeds. She is too good at pretending."

Neither the novel nor reality shows the truest side of You Yingxue.

But these are not important. You Yingxue helped him a lot, and he could barely consider her as an ally.

Wei Lingling said: "If You Yingxue and Zhou Chenlang get married, you two will still be somewhat related."

Du Yuanzhe said casually: "I'll look at Qiqi's opinion. If she wants to acknowledge me as her brother, then she will. If she doesn't want to, then she won't."

Wei Lingling said, "The wife follows the husband."

"Is it not possible? So how are you and Jiang Chelin doing?"

Wei Lingling was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "This guy has become patient. I don't know what to do with him for the moment."

She was planning to focus on her career and was really not in the mood to get back together with Jiang Chelin.

Du Yuanzhe said: "Then leave him alone. Life is still long anyway."

Wei Lingling smiled: "That makes sense."

The two chatted for a while and then hung up the phone. Not long after that, Jiang Chelin called.

They are really a couple, they are so in tune with each other.

Du Yuanzhe smiled and answered the phone, "What does President Jiang want to talk to me about?"

"Who is Liang You?"

"What?"

"He has been cast as the male lead in Lingling's new play."

"She's already signed up for a new play right after the filming. Lingling is going to turn into a desperate woman."

Jiang Chelin frowned: "You haven't answered my question yet."

"Can't you do your own research? I only know that Liang You is an artist of Qianying Entertainment, and I don't know anything else. I've only met him once in the company."

"I checked. This guy is from the Liang family in Lincheng. When he first debuted, he said Lingling was his idol. He definitely had bad intentions in getting close to Lingling."

Jiang Chelin said this with gritted teeth.

Du Yuanzhe smiled: "So it's your love rival. You came to me to ask me to help you monitor your love rival, right?"

Jiang Chelin said: "You don't need to monitor it. That drama is produced by Qianying Entertainment. I want you to help replace Liang You."

"You overestimate me. I don't have this ability."

"You don't, but Xia Ningmi does."

Du Yuanzhe was stunned: "When did you know?"

Jiang Chelin snorted coldly: "You are about to marry Xia Ningmi. If I don't get any news, the Jiang family will no longer exist."

Du Yuanzhe understood instantly that it seemed that the news of his marriage to Xia Ningmi had already spread in the circle, but because it involved Xia Ningmi, no one dared to spread the news. However, this matter would definitely not be hidden from Jiang Chelin.

Du Yuanzhe figured out the situation and said with a smile, "I know you're jealous of me getting married soon, but you have to deal with your rival in love yourself. Lingling and I are friends, and I don't want to ruin her luck in love."

"Bullshit luck in love!"

Jiang Chelin's face turned black. It would have been fine if Du Yuanzhe didn't help, but he deliberately made him angry.

Du Yuanzhe smiled and said, "I will invite President Jiang to the wedding banquet and let you have some..."

Toot--

Before he could finish his words, Jiang Chelin hung up the phone.

Du Yuanzhe shook his head. You deserve to not be able to get your wife back since you are so impatient.

The news about him and Qiqi had already spread in a small circle. Fortunately, he had already chosen the time for the official announcement to prevent it from being spread by people who didn't know the limits and put him on the defensive.

In the evening, Xia Ningmi came back from get off work.

Du Yuanzhe said: "Qiqi, can we make the official announcement on your birthday?"

Xia Ning looked at him: "Why choose this day?"

"Because this day is the most memorable for us. We officially got together two years ago, and you accepted my proposal a year ago. We waited until your birthday this year to officially announce our relationship, and that will be perfect."

Xia Ningmi nodded: "Okay."

Du Yuanzhe hugged her and said happily, "I've already thought about it. I'll make the official announcement at 5:09 on May 9th."

Xia Ningmi curled her lips: "I like this time."

If it's for traffic, this time is very bad, but Du Yuanzhe doesn't want traffic, he just wants this time.

Xia Ningmi was the same, she only cared about the significance of this time.

She asked: "Have you told Liu Xu about the official announcement?"

Du Yuanzhe was stunned for a moment, blinked and said, "I forgot."

Xia Ning sighed: "It's hard for Liu Xu to have an artist like you."

It's really worrying.

Du Yuanzhe smiled and said, "I'll call Brother Liu right now."

He really forgot to report to Liu Xu.

......

In the blink of an eye, time slipped away like sand through fingers, and Xia Ningmi's birthday was coming.

In the past, apart from the fans of Xia Ningmi’s super topic, not many people cared about this day.

But this year is undoubtedly special.

At 5:09 am on May 9th, although most people were asleep, there were still many people who stayed up all night or got up early. When these people opened Weibo out of habit, they were shocked by a Weibo post.

@杜元哲: On this memorable day, I want to introduce someone to you. This is my girlfriend, my future wife @夏凝覓

Du Yuanzhe originally wanted to write a long article to announce his relationship, but when he actually started writing, he found that he had too much to say. It was okay to write a love letter to Xia Ningmi, but it didn't need to be so long to announce his relationship. In the end, he chose the shortest way, which was simple and clear.

Netizens don't even need to expand it, they can know the key points at a glance.

By seven or eight in the morning, students and office workers have all gotten up. As soon as they turn on their phones, they can hear the constant dinging of message alerts. All the messages that pop up have only one content - Du Yuanzhe officially announced his relationship.

By the time they opened the trending search again, Weibo had already exploded.

#Du Yuanzhe Xia Ningmi#

This term ranks first on the hot search list, with a striking word "explosion" behind it.

After netizens clicked on the hot search, they found that the reading volume had exceeded 100 million. The comments on the first few Weibo posts below were thousands. Du Yuanzhe’s own Weibo comments had exceeded 10,000, and the number of likes had exceeded 1 million.

The netizens who were watching the show didn’t know whether they should marvel at the amazing traffic or be shocked by Du Yuanzhe and Xia Ningmi’s relationship.

Obviously, netizens no longer thought that these two people were related, but Du Yuanzhe threw out a pair of trump cards, which shocked all the onlookers.

The fans' reaction was the biggest. Originally, due to Xia Ningmi's different identity, Du Yuanzhe and Xia Ningmi's fans had always been very friendly and had even collaborated several times. The relationship between the big fans was pretty good and they were in contact privately. However, as soon as Du Yuanzhe's official announcement came out on Weibo, the relationship between the two sides' fans instantly became subtle.

After all, they were comrades who had fought together, and it is not appropriate to scold them.

Logically speaking, Du Yuanzhe is a popular star, and his fans should be the most opposed to this relationship, but the girl is too outstanding. Du Yuanzhe's fame and popularity are really not comparable to Xia Ningmi's. Fans don't know what to say if they want to object, and instead have to worry that Xia Ningmi's fans will dislike Du Yuanzhe for being just an actor.

There are indeed some fans of Xia Ningmi who dislike Du Yuanzhe's fans, but there are not many of them. Most people know very well that Xia Ningmi does not rely on them. They have no right to oppose her and Du Yuanzhe's relationship, but they cannot say they will bless them.

Then a very magical phenomenon appeared.

After Du Yuanzhe officially announced his relationship, netizens were very satisfied and left many comments. Some were supportive, some remained neutral, and some said unpleasant things. On the contrary, his and Xia Ningmi's fans were so quiet that they seemed to be non-existent and have not expressed any opinions.
