Chapter 160 Clarifying the Relationship: Now that I have seen you, how can I not be happy?
Earlier, in the process of fighting the fire, Shen Yuning forgot to turn off his phone's live stream, so the chaotic scene of everyone working together to put out the fire, and even the final fight with the strong man, was completely recorded.
My phone ran out of battery and shut down automatically when I boarded the cable car.
Meanwhile, the members of "Passion" have safely evacuated.
Meanwhile, the internet was in an uproar.
Can anyone tell me why Lanxiang Mountain appears in Daning?
What were those fleeting images? Was someone setting fire to the mountain?!
[I didn't hear that Da Ning would be parachuted in. Why did he not only go into the mountains but also risk his life to protect Luo Luo? And judging from the situation, Da Ning seems to care about her a lot. Could there be some shady relationship between them?]
[Don't talk nonsense! Da Ning and Luo Luo have a simple boss-employee relationship. Luo Luo and Jiang Si Shao are the real couple, okay?]
[But I feel like Su Hanyue is a better match for the Fourth Young Master than Luo Luo! She's so cool!]
[Upstairs comment +10086! I also think Su Hanyue is a better match for the Fourth Young Master! Sorry sisters, I've switched allegiances, I'm leaving now!]
Some people care about the couples they ship.
Some people noticed other information during that lag-free live stream.
What on earth is going on with "Passion"? Someone actually started a fire on the mountain! Luckily, Lanxiang Mountain didn't catch fire, otherwise, who knows how many people would have died or been injured!
Any show that involves winning or losing couples is guaranteed to have a bad ending. "Passion" has only been filming for one day and it's already in trouble again. I have a feeling it's going to be canceled.
[This has nothing to do with "Passion," right? It wasn't the production team who started the fire. And judging from the situation, the police were there too; it doesn't seem like the production team caused trouble, but rather they were cooperating with the police to arrest people.]
Wake up! The police aren't stupid. If they want to arrest someone, they can't do it themselves; they need the Winner-Loser couple's help.
[Speak rationally, don't take sides, and don't comment. Aren't there enough examples lately of people making baseless accusations only to be proven wrong? Since the police were present, let's wait for an official response.]
[Agreed! Let's be rational and wait for the official explanation!]
Wildfires are no small matter.
The topic quickly sparked heated discussions online.
Fortunately, the strong fan base of the winning and losing couple, as well as the effective public relations department led by Wen Jinzhao, kept the onlookers rational and allowed them to continue to observe.
As soon as Song Ying got off the cable car, she received a call from Wen Jinzhao.
“Sister Ying, right now the whole trending topics are talking about the Lanxiang Mountain incident. This time, thanks to Shen Yuning’s live video, it proved that the police had been lying in wait at the scene, so we were able to keep people calm for the time being. But we still need to give an explanation for this matter as soon as possible, otherwise if it drags on, the interpretations on the internet will get out of control, and we will miss the best time to deal with it.”
"I understand your concerns. Don't worry, the relevant announcement will be issued by this afternoon at the latest, after Captain Zhou and his team finish their operation."
Song Ying's words reassured Wen Jinzhao.
However, after hanging up the phone, she saw a large group of reporters with long lenses and cameras surrounding the foot of the mountain.
They clearly sensed the breaking news and came to the scene to surround and follow up.
Song Ying stopped and turned to look at the crowd.
"Mr. Ji, you and Wen Nian can go first. Ashu has already arranged for people to take you out through the safety exit. Luo Luo and Chen Yuning, you two can go with the medical staff. Sister Li has arranged for a car to wait outside to pick you up."
After Shen Yuning's phone automatically turned off, Sister Li called Song Ying directly.
“Then you…” Wen Nian asked worriedly.
"'Passion' is SY's project, and I have to deal with it; Han Yue and Xiu Yuan have special identities, and now is not the time for them to leave. But you are different. You and Mr. Ji don't need to continue to get involved in this mess at this time. As for Shen Yuning..."
Song Ying withdrew her gaze and looked at Shen Yuning, whose face was pale. "Right now, more than half of the people online are discussing your relationship with Luo Luo. And with you in your current state, if you run into those toxic fans of yours, nine times out of ten they will take their anger out on Luo Luo. I advise you to go back and recover first. Once you've recovered and thought things through, then you can face those reporters."
Song Ying's arrangements were reasonable and well-founded, so everyone stopped talking and quickly obeyed and left.
Reporters gathered at the exit leading down the mountain.
"President Song, could you explain what happened on Lanxiang Mountain today?"
"Mr. Song, were you aware of Mr. Zachary's arson incident beforehand? After all, he was a guest you invited. What is your opinion on this matter?"
"Mr. Song, why are there police officers in the mountains? And why have the show's guests been kidnapped? Is it part of the script, or is there a real safety hazard?"
"Where did the other guests go? Why did Shen Yuning suddenly appear?"
Song Ying listened patiently to everyone's questions with a smile on her face, but did not say a word.
When everyone ran out of new questions and began to look at each other in bewilderment, Song Ying finally smiled and said...
"I think I understand the questions you all had. Ultimately, the points you're concerned about boil down to these: First, why would someone set fire to the mountain? Is this related to the production team? And what's the story with Zachary? Second, why are there so many special police officers lurking on the mountain? What's the reason for this large-scale mobilization? Third, why did Shen Yuning appear? What is his relationship with Luo Luo? And what is the relationship between Miss Su Hanyue and Mr. Jiang Xiuyuan?"
"Regarding the first two questions, I cannot give you accurate answers at the moment, but please rest assured that the official answers will be provided soon."
"As for Shen Yuning and Luo Luo, he was originally selected as a guest, but I didn't expect him to choose this kind of 'flying' method."
Song Ying cleverly covered up the fact that Shen Yuning had climbed the mountain overnight.
"As for his relationship with Luo Luo, I really don't know. You can wait for the parties involved to respond. As for Su Hanyue and Jiang Xiuyuan..."
As she said this, Song Ying glanced at Su Hanyue and winked at her, "Or, would you like Miss Su to tell everyone about it?"
Having gone through this journey, Song Ying finally understood that Su Hanyue's persistent pursuit of Jiang Xiuyuan didn't seem fake.
As for Jiang Xiuyuan, perhaps even he himself didn't realize that while bickering with Su Hanyue, he had unknowingly emerged from the low mood of being with Shen Yuning and Luo Luo, and felt no emptiness at all from the thought of his beloved being taken away.
It wouldn't be accurate to say that Chiang Hsiu-yuan changed his mind at any moment.
It can only be said that, as things stand, Su Hanyue's appearance has effectively diverted his attention.
It's hard to say what kind of sparks the two will create in the future.
Personally, Song Ying really likes Su Hanyue's personality.
When Song Ying mentioned her, Su Hanyue wasn't shy at all.
He took two steps forward, his posture upright and his demeanor outstanding.
"Actually, I didn't have any other feelings for Jiang Xiuyuan, I just wanted to pursue him."
The reporters waited for most of the day, but none of their questions were answered.
Now, Su Hanyue dropped a bombshell, almost making everyone so excited they turned red in the eyes and nearly poked the microphone into her face.
"Miss Su, don't you know that Fourth Young Master Jiang and Luo Luo are a couple in the dating reality show? Doesn't what you're doing count as being a third party and stealing someone else's love?"
"Miss Su, what is it about Fourth Young Master Jiang that attracts you? Is it because you're attracted to the Jiang family's background?"
"Miss Su, I heard that you wrote love letters to Young Master Jiang before, but you haven't been able to win him over all these years. Is this considered persistent pursuit?"
"..."
The entertainment reporters asked extremely tricky questions, and the questions became more and more outrageous as the interview progressed.
As Su Hanyue pondered these questions and considered how to answer them, Jiang Xiuyuan, who was standing next to her, couldn't stand it anymore.
"What do you mean by 'third party interference'? I participated in 'Passion' only because it was a task assigned to me by my superiors. Because a suitable identity was needed, my sister invited Ms. Luo, a friend we both know, to participate. We are not lovers, just ordinary friends. So your so-called interference and 'third party interference' are simply nonsense."
[What does the Fourth Young Master mean by that? So the production team is really cooperating with the police? I knew it! Sister Ying would never do anything to dig her own grave. The arson case has nothing to do with the production team.]
Am I the only one who cares about friendships? The ship I ship is actually fake _(:з」∠)_
[I'm different, I ship Su Hanyue and the Fourth Young Master's "Full Moon" couple! The Fourth Young Master's actions this time, calling it domineeringly protecting his wife wouldn't be an exaggeration, right?]
Jiang Xiuyuan did indeed want to protect Su Hanyue.
But I had no other intentions.
I just don't want an innocent girl to be labeled as a homewrecker.
Most importantly, Luo Luo doesn't like him, and he has decided to let go. Therefore, he cannot let netizens mistakenly believe that there is a romantic relationship between them because of this one-day appearance on the dating show.
Otherwise, if Luo Luo were to publicly announce her relationship with Shen Yuning, who knows what kind of criticism people would have against her.
The internet is always lenient towards boys, but harsh on girls.
Jiang Xiuyuan had seen things clearly over this period of time, so he decided to let him be the villain who severed ties.
Su Hanyue didn't expect Jiang Xiuyuan to speak up for her.
She glanced at Jiang Xiuyuan for a moment, then suddenly looked at the camera.
"Look, I love how he says whatever comes to mind. He's a little silly, but he's kind of cute."
Jiang Xiuyuan: ...?
Are you being polite?
I just helped you!
Jiang Xiuyuan was so angry that he glared and puffed out his beard, but Su Hanyue laughed.
"That exasperated look is even more endearing."
Jiang Xiuyuan: ...
I'll cover my face, okay?
Su Hanyue: "It's funny when you're shy, isn't it?"
Jiang Xiuyuan: ...
Can't she just shut up?!
Su Hanyue couldn't shut up, because she hadn't finished answering the questions she wanted to answer.
Whether the Jiang family is rich or poor, I don't care. After all, I earn my living through my own abilities. Whether Jiang Xiuyuan is there or not, it doesn't affect my ability to live my own life.
"Secondly, my liking him is my own business. It's too unfair to keep a crush to myself and not be able to express it. I'm not someone who wants to suffer, so I'm going to speak up. Whether he responds to me or likes me is his own business."
"I only care about whether I have done my best to pursue my own happiness. If I have done my best and it all comes to nothing in the end, then I have no regrets; if I am lucky enough to achieve it, then that's fine too, and I won't lose out."
"It's that simple."
The issues that had been distorted and misinterpreted by reporters were explained clearly by Su Hanyue in just a few words, using the most straightforward and simple language.
Everyone was momentarily dazed.
Even netizens watching the scene via live entertainment reporters were surprised and somewhat bewildered.
[Yeah, liking someone seems to be such a simple thing.]
Who can understand the pain of unrequited love? I'm so incredibly envious of Su Hanyue for being able to express her feelings so calmly and confidently; she's so cool.
Sincerity is always the ultimate weapon. If the Yuanyue couple (a couple in the Chinese CP) breaks up, I'll really cry my eyes out!
[Jiang Xiuyuan, I advise you not to be ungrateful, hurry up and marry Yueyue!]
All the tricky questions the reporters had prepared were rendered ineffective by Su Hanyue's straightforward answers.

On the other end, Huatian Media.
Shen Yuning refused Sister Li's offer to take him to the hospital, but then received a call from his brother, Gu Yanzhe, the president of Huatian Group.
"Since you have so much energy, come to the company."
Gu Yanzhe's voice was somewhat cold, and Shen Yuning had already guessed what she was about to face.
Looking at Shen Yuning's pale face, Sister Li's anger, which had been suppressed, turned into pity.
“After you went live yesterday, President Gu called me. Now he knows that you’re thinking of leaving the entertainment industry for Luo Luo. The reason he’s asking you to come back to the company is most likely because of this. When you get to the company, just soften your stance and stop being stubborn.”
Shen Yuning didn't speak, but his stubborn expression showed that he had no intention of changing his mind.
Seeing that she couldn't persuade him, Sister Li could only look at Luo Luo.
"Luo Luo, you know better than anyone what Da Ning has been through. You know what his dreams are. Can you really just stand by and watch Da Ning ruin his future for this fleeting romance between an older woman and a younger man..."
"Sister Li!"
Shen Yuning interrupted Sister Li, "This has nothing to do with Luo Luo! If you have a problem, come at me, why put pressure on her?"
"But do you want to hear what I'm telling you? I've been mentoring you since your debut, and what's the result? Now you're willing to give up everything we've worked so hard to achieve for a woman. Shen Yuning, you're not a child anymore. Can you please stop being so willful!"
Work and career should always come first.
Sister Li demands this of her artists, and she holds herself to the same standard.
It's harsh, but that's just how the world is.
Only in this way can we truly carve out our own path.
“I’m not being willful. I’ve thought this through very clearly.” Shen Yuning looked at Sister Li with an unwavering expression. “My feelings for Luo Luo are not just a passing fancy.”
"But have you asked her if she likes you?"
Sister Li pointed to Luo Luo, who was sitting in the passenger seat.
Upon hearing this, she and Shen Yuning both looked at Luo Luo.
You can only see the back, but not the front.
Luo Luo could clearly feel the two gazes fixed on her back.
When she heard Shen Yuning say that he liked her, she felt an unprecedented joy.
But that joy was steeped in bitterness.
Shen Yuning is young and impetuous now, and he might be willing to go all out, shouting that he wants to retire from the entertainment industry just to be with me.
But Luo Luo was five years older than him.
At 24 years old, she wasn't afraid to go all out with Shen Yuning.
Instead, we need to consider more carefully what would happen if Shen Yuning actually did that.
Young people's preferences come and go quickly.
Once the tide of love recedes, what if Shen Yuning regrets ruining his career for her?
Luo Luo did not doubt the sincerity of Shen Yuning's love at this moment.
She was just worried that this love wouldn't withstand the erosion of time and wouldn't last.
Luo Luo closed her eyes and slowly straightened her back.
She took a deep breath and spoke slowly.
