Chapter 51
Trending topics
Under the trending topics,
Everyone's arguing about it.
[Does Zhao Ruxuan have to rely on the Jiang family even when she's on a dating reality show? Is it impossible for the Zhao family to survive without the Jiang family?]
[Is telling the truth considered "leeching off"? If your crush falls for someone else in the blink of an eye, can't you complain a little?]
[So you know it's a crush, huh? She hasn't even officially started a relationship with your master yet. Maybe Zhao Ruxuan only met her once and already calls her her crush.]
Netizens are unaware that the comments they made in an attempt to refute the facts are actually the truth.
[Isn't it just fickleness? Maybe he's already having an affair with Zhao Ruxuan, and once he gets on the bigger ship that is the Jiang family, he'll kick the Zhao family aside.]
[What decent person would bring this up on a dating reality show? Is Zhao Ruxuan planning to take the "black-and-red" route (become famous through controversy)?]
To be honest, I'm a little curious about what Zhao Ruxuan's crush looks like, that he could attract the attention of two wealthy women at the same time.
[She's probably a professional gold digger, her target is so clear, she only looks for rich men.]
Xiao Liu, who was still in the break room, clicked into the comments section.
As she looked around, her lips, slightly parted in surprise, remained open.
"Could it be that President Jiang snatched it from Zhao Ruxuan?"
"Don't believe everything netizens say." He Shuyi immediately retorted: "Xu Que and President Jiang are in love, what does Zhao Ruxuan have to do with it?"
Someone asked, "Then why did the second young lady of the Zhao family jump out on her own?"
"Before Xu Que came to our department, didn't Miss Zhao Er stay with us briefly for a period of time?"
"I vaguely remember that the two of them met once. Perhaps it was that meeting that made Zhao Ruxuan remember Xu Que."
The man continued, "However, Zhao Ruxuan didn't come to the company the next day."
He Shuyi felt like she'd just gotten a sweet moment: "She left as soon as Xu arrived. Could this be related to President Jiang?"
"I don't know, but Miss Zhao isn't really here to work for us; she'll leave sooner or later."
As Xiao Liu listened to her colleagues' casual conversation, she continued scrolling through the constantly updated comments on her phone. The extreme remarks made her unable to hold back her words: "These people are talking so rudely."
She held her phone screen up to the crowd.
"They actually said that Xu was eating what he had in his bowl while eyeing what he had in the pot, and that he only came to Jingjiang to be with a rich woman."
"Let me see!"
He Shuyi immediately stepped forward; the topic was generating a lot of discussion, with comments refreshing one after another.
[Being able to move effortlessly between the Zhao and Jiang families, this person Zhao Ruxuan mentioned who's attracted to her must be no ordinary person, right?]
I still lean towards the conclusion that she favored the Jiang family heir with a better family background, which is why she dumped Zhao Ruxuan.
My heart aches for Ruxuan; she actually fell for such a materialistic person.
He Shuyi looked completely bewildered: "Zhao Ruxuan only participated in a dating reality show, how did she attract such a large number of fans?"
"She must have the support of the Zhao family behind her. Ever since the dating reality show she appeared on started airing, Zhao Ruxuan's name has been trending on social media every day."
"With such a vigorous marketing effort, even an ordinary person would have become famous."
He Shuyi logged into her own account and commented on Zhao Ruxuan's account.
[Why are you all talking as if Zhao Ruxuan really dated her? It seems Miss Zhao doesn't even know her name.]
[Knowing that the other person is an ordinary person, why mention her on a TV show? Aren't you afraid of causing her trouble?]
Finally, they're already married. I hope Zhao Ruxuan will stop making vague statements; you've only met once.
As soon as she posted her comment, her inbox exploded with messages and notifications.
Who are you? You're coming in with a lecturing tone right off the bat. Has Zhao Ruxuan ever offended you?
There's a limit to making things up; some people just spout nonsense without thinking.
Ignore her, she's crazy, she just keeps spouting nonsensical nonsense.
[Is this a hater? They can't find anything to criticize about Zhao Ruxuan, so they start saying nonsensical things.]
Besides these, there is even more explicit and offensive content, but fortunately the platform has regulations to block it.
He Shuyi was completely unaffected, and even had the leisure to joke with Xiao Liu: "I'm famous now, and the people who are going to criticize me are coming."
"The Zhao family might as well give me the money they spend on buying trending searches, and I'll teach Zhao Ruxuan how to become famous through infamy."
He Shuyi took a sip of coffee, flexed her fingers for a while, and quickly joined the online battle.
Seeing this, Xiao Liu, caught up in the excitement, joined in as well.
Many other people in the break room also joined in the comments.
She could have simply thrown the marriage certificate in the faces of those fans, but considering that Xu is an ordinary person and Zhao Ruxuan didn't reveal her name, it's best to leave the matter of throwing the marriage certificate to the parties involved.
*
Jiang Fengyi felt much better after her afternoon nap.
It wasn't time for work yet, and her assistant wasn't there; Xu didn't know where she was either. She picked up her coffee cup and headed towards the break room.
She stopped in her tracks as she reached the door.
The tea room was bustling like never before, as if one had stepped into a lively market in Northeast China.
Xiao Liu rubbed his hands together, snatched the phone from He Shuyi's hand: "Your response was too weak, let me handle it!"
She was typing furiously on the screen, so engrossed that she didn't see Jiang Fengyi walk into the tea room, nor did she notice He Shuyi, who kept giving her meaningful glances.
As Xiao Liu typed, he muttered to himself, "I saw with my own eyes how lovey-dovey the two of them were. Xu's eyes were practically glued to President Changjiang; he wouldn't even glance at anyone else."
"I really don't understand what Zhao Ruxuan was thinking, insisting on getting involved."
Jiang Fengyi heard it all clearly.
"Zhao Ruxuan?"
"What's wrong with her?"
Xiao Liu suddenly looked up, instantly becoming a stutterer: "Mr. Jiang, what brings you here?"
As Jiang Fengyi approached, the content on the screen came into view. She read it word by word, and a hint of displeasure appeared between her brows.
She held out her hand to Xiao Liu: "What else did they say down there? Let me see."
Xiao Liu dared not refuse and handed over the phone tremblingly.
Because it was Zhao Ruxuan's comment section, which was mostly filled with her fans, He Shuyi and others went straight to her stronghold to launch a fierce counterattack.
After Jiang Fengyi took the phone, the hot device vibrated vigorously in her palm without stopping.
"I forgot to turn off the private message notification sound."
Her kind boss turned off the vibrate function for her, and the noisy phone finally quieted down.
Jiang Fengyi's slender fingertips slid across the screen as she read quickly, her lips gradually pursing into a straight line.
When did it become a trending topic?
"Today."
"Zhao Ruxuan has not given any response?"
"No, no."
Jiang Fengyi returned the phone to the other party, forgetting to take the coffee cup she had brought, and left the tea room with a displeased expression.
As soon as she pushed open the office door, before she could even see anyone, Xu Que's voice rang out.
"Where did you go? How did I find you..."
Xu returned just a step ahead of Jiang Fengyi. She was carrying a cake and was smiling, wanting to share it with her. But when she saw the expression on Jiang Fengyi's face, she immediately stopped smiling, walked a few steps to her wife, and cupped her face in one hand.
"Why are you so angry after waking up from a nap?"
"What happened?"
She was extremely annoyed: "If I had known, I wouldn't have gone out to buy a cake. I would have sat by your bedside and watched you wake up."
Jiang Fengyi looked down, and her expression improved considerably when her gaze fell on the cake Xu Que was carrying.
"I saw some negative comments."
She bent down and took the cake from Xu Que's hand.
"But it's okay, I'll handle it."
Xu pressed further, asking, "What remarks?"
She untied the ribbon on the cake box, and the silky ribbon fell from her palm onto the back of Jiang Fengyi's hand.
Jiang Fengyi picked up the ribbon and was about to push it aside when Xu suddenly grabbed it and gave it a light tug.
She took the person's hand, along with the ribbon, into her palm.
Xu lowered her eyes and gently stroked the ripples on the river with her fingers.
"You're hiding something from me."
His tone clearly conveyed his grievance.
Jiang Fengyi had no choice but to tell her about the trending topic.
...
Xu cut the cake, fed Jiang Fengyi a bite, and asked, "What do you plan to do?"
"Hand it over to the PR department and have them remove it from the trending topics." Jiang Fengyi took a rather large bite, her voice as soft as the cake.
"Contact Zhao Ruxuan and ask her to apologize."
Xu stared at Jiang Fengyi's mouth: "What are you apologizing for?"
Jiang Fengyi glanced at Xu Que and said, word by word, "You shouldn't covet someone who has a family."
"Yes! I'm a married man."
Xu Que smiled and said, "Today's cake must be very sweet!"
She approached without warning, stole a kiss on Jiang Fengyi's lips, and licked away a bit of cream that had accidentally gotten on her.
After savoring the taste on her tongue, Xu smiled.
"Mmm, it really is sweet."
After the two shared a small piece of cake, Xu took out his phone and took a picture of the empty cake plate.
Jiang Fengyi asked, puzzled, "Why are you filming that?"
Xu took several photos from different angles, then looked down and picked them out one by one.
"Record our every moment."
She selected the most perfect one and posted it on her Little Green Book account.
[My wife and I had cake today, so happy! The cake was sweet, but my wife was even sweeter!]
Xu did not deliberately avoid Jiang Fengyi; the other party could see the text and pictures clearly.
Jiang Fengyi's ears felt a little hot: "Can I take a look?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the phone was handed to her.
"Of course, I have nothing to hide from you, not now, and not ever."
Jiang Fengyi saw that Xu's post had already received a few likes.
As she continued swiping forward, she revisited many ordinary details that she hadn't noticed during their time together.
Xu would record what the two of them did almost every day, even small things like eating and drinking, which were shrouded in a sweet veil after she edited them with her fingertips.
It immerses viewers in a world full of love.
"I have no idea……"
Jiang Fengyi murmured, "I didn't know you'd been recording all this..."
Compared to Xu Que, it seems she did nothing at all.
"Love isn't a business transaction where you have to do something just because I do something."
"I record these things simply to preserve our beautiful moments. Human memory fades, and I will take them out to relive them whenever we are old."
"Reliving our happy moments."
