Chapter 53
Response
Jiang Fengyi's account was flooded with too many people at once.
Everyone who clicks on her account can see her marriage certificate with Xu Que.
[Why would someone with a family steal another woman's partner? The person she marries must be heartbroken.]
I don't understand, why is there only one marriage certificate on the homepage?
Could it be that the person on the marriage certificate is the one they're fighting over?
To be honest, these two look so good together, I'm shipping them!
This whole situation is getting more and more confusing. They've already gotten their marriage certificate, is it possible they knew each other before?
[Does anyone have an inside story to share? Let's wait for a plot twist.]
Only people in this circle know the inside story; it just depends on which wealthy person is willing to come forward and speak.
Zhao Rufei and Zhao Ruxuan returned home with the spoils of their afternoon's shopping spree. The online discussion had reached its peak, surpassing even the trending topic about Zhao Ruxuan.
When it was time for workers to get off work, many passersby clicked on the link.
[No photos of the Jiang family heir have been released yet. I thought he was an older middle-aged person, but he's so young!]
Sister, I can do it too! I'd love to join this family!
Since the person upstairs is willing, then I'm willing too!
[I don't understand what happened. Who is this person? How did they suddenly become a trending topic?]
Is she a newcomer to the entertainment industry? Has she been exposed for secretly getting married?
[This is the current CEO of Jingjiang Technology, and she's married!]
[That Jingjiang Group, which permeates every aspect of our lives? I've really struck gold this time!]
Aside from the vast majority of uninformed bystanders, the most vocal group was Zhao Ruxuan's fans.
Perhaps because he was too young, he was unaware of the influence the Jiang family wielded and vaguely believed that the Zhao family and the Jiang family were in the same position.
Coupled with Zhao Ruxuan's apology statement on her account, which subtly expressed her innocence, her fans felt even more sympathy for her.
They all rushed to Jiang Fengyi's page to comment freely.
[Finally, it's out! So you're the one who stole Ruxuan's boyfriend! How could someone with such a beautiful face do something so vicious!]
[So what if she's the heir to the Jiang family? Ruxuan is still the second young lady of the Zhao family, but I haven't seen her mentioning it every day.]
How could someone who's already married do something like stealing another person's partner?
Does your partner know that you like to steal other people's partners?
[Shameless! To steal someone else's partner!]
...
Jingjiang
The person involved was completely unaware of the online events and was discussing with Xu which restaurant to go to after get off work.
The warmth was shattered by the arrival of Wu Qi.
"President Jiang, Zhao Ruxuan has issued an apology statement, but..."
"Just say it."
"But for some reason, her fans misunderstood and thought you stole her girlfriend, so they all left messages on your account."
"slander!"
"Last time, she accused me of stealing her boyfriend out of thin air. This time she's even more direct, saying I stole her girlfriend. She must be trying to get into the entertainment industry by dragging me into this publicity stunt."
Xu nodded in agreement.
"That's very possible!"
Wu Qi was also angry: "The Zhao family is really good at double-dealing. On the surface, they agree to issue an apology statement, but behind the scenes they are secretly causing trouble."
Jiang Fengyi tapped the desktop lightly with her finger. The restaurant pages recommended by the little green book on the screen were still lit up. She lowered her eyes and made a decision in much less time than choosing a restaurant.
"Didn't Zhao Ruxuan sign with a management company? Contact her management company, and from now on, our platform will not broadcast any programs featuring only her."
"yes."
After Wu Qi left, Xu squeezed Jiang Fengyi's fingers and said, "Don't be angry. We haven't decided where to eat later yet."
She drew Jiang Fengyi's attention back to dinner, preventing her from thinking about the annoying Zhao Ruxuan.
"This place has such a beautiful environment!"
"That dish looks very appetizing."
...
Jiang Fengyi quickly put this unpleasant little incident behind her and focused on choosing a restaurant.
She tapped a dish on the screen.
"I want to try their French-style baked snails!"
"Okay, let's go to this one."
Jiang Fengyi looked up and found that Xu had already packed her things for leaving get off work.
"Let's go have a romantic dinner."
Jiang Fengyi corrected, "It was just an ordinary dinner."
"But in my heart, every dinner we have together is a romantic date!"

After the two Zhao sisters got out of the car, they were so tired that they didn't even bother to have their clothes, jewelry, and bags unloaded. They just collapsed onto the sofa in the living room.
"My legs are so sore."
Zhao Rufei changed her shoes while rubbing her calves.
"I won't agree to go shopping with you next time, you can shop too much."
Looking down, she noticed a pair of shoes in the entryway that didn't belong to any of her family members. Curious, Zhao Rufeng asked, "Huh? Do we have guests?"
"Rufei is back?"
Grandma Zhao's robust voice rang out, a stark contrast to her usual listlessness.
"Ruxuan's agent has come to our house."
"My agent?" Zhao Ruxuan followed her sister into the house and heard her grandmother's voice as soon as she entered.
She leaned out from behind Zhao Rufei: "Is there something you need?"
Before the agent could speak, Grandma Zhao looked over, her cloudy eyes revealing her heartache.
"You didn't even say a word after your boyfriend was stolen!" A flash of anger crossed her face. "Although our Zhao family has declined, we can't let others bully us to this extent."
"What did you steal? What did you bully?"
Zhao Ruxuan was completely confused, wondering why she couldn't understand her grandmother's words.
Grandma Zhao's face darkened: "Is it true that Jiang Fengyi stole your boyfriend?"
"ah???"
"No, where would I get a boyfriend?"
"What!" The agent's voice suddenly rose, "Jiang Fengyi didn't steal your boyfriend?"
"What does this all mean?"
Now even Grandma Zhao was confused. She glanced at the agent and then at Zhao Ruxuan, neither of them seemed to be lying.
"When did Jiang Fengyi steal my boyfriend?" Zhao Ruxuan asked helplessly, not caring about being embarrassed.
"Before I left Jingjiang, I developed feelings for Xu, who was Jiang Fengyi's girlfriend at the time and is now his partner."
She seemed a little embarrassed as she said this: "I went straight to ask her if she wanted to be with me." She lowered her voice to the last sentence, "Who knew she and Jiang Fengyi were a couple?"
Upon understanding, Zhao Rufei's vision went black, and she almost collapsed in the entryway, but fortunately, Zhao Ruxuan behind her caught her.
"Sister, are you alright?"
Zhao Rufei clutched her chest: "It's okay, my heart is still beating."
She pulled Zhao Ruxuan's arm and straightened up: "Forget about those clothes, change your shoes and come inside with me."
The agent was still sitting in front of the sofa, looking utterly devastated, muttering to himself repeatedly.
"It's over...it's really over..."
The old lady next to her was no less conspicuous, her droopy eyelids blinking nervously again and again.
Zhao Ruxuan: "Grandmother, are your eyes bothering you? Should we have a doctor take a look?"
Her sister pulled her to the sofa, glanced at the two people sitting on it, and only asked after she had mentally prepared herself.
"Grandmother, what did you do with Ruxuan's agent while I was away?"
The agent glanced at the silent Old Mrs. Zhao and had no choice but to explain himself.
"I logged into Ruxuan's account and posted an apology."
She saw her manager standing in front of her sister with her eyes slightly lowered, and she imagined herself making a mistake and being afraid of being punished by her strict sister.
Zhao Ruxuan couldn't help but speak up for her agent: "I know about this; she informed me."
Zhao Rufei didn't spare her sister a single glance and continued to look at her agent.
The agent continued, "They're portraying Zhao Ruxuan as a victim, inciting online trolls and fans to cyberbully Jiang Fengyi." Her voice trailed off towards the end.
Zhao Ruxuan was clearly focusing on the wrong thing: "Did anyone actually go and scold Jiang Fengyi? I need to take a screenshot and save it so I can take it out and look at it when I'm in a bad mood."
Zhao Rufei said sternly, "Don't speak!"
She immediately shrank into a corner as quietly as a quail.
Looking at her grandmother and agent, Zhao Rufei guessed the general outline of the matter.
"Did your grandmother instruct the agent to do this?"
Grandma Zhao kept her eyes closed and didn't speak, as if nothing happening around her concerned her.
Zhao Rufei understood; silence meant consent.
She turned to her agent and said, "Tell me how things have turned out now."
“The public opinion has been quite heated,” the agent said, moving the tablet screen in front of Zhao Rufei. “Fans are easily swayed.”
Zhao Rufei glanced at the comments section and said succinctly, "Delete this apology statement and replace it with a sincere one that truly admits wrongdoing."
"Go to the fan groups and contact the big fans, and tell them to stop leaving comments on other people's accounts and focus more on themselves."
Zhao Rufei then called over the housekeeper.
"Send an invitation to the Jiang family to express the Zhao family's willingness to apologize and sincerely invite them to our home for an apology banquet."
Zhao Rufei prayed in her heart: hoping that this remedy would be effective.

As darkness fell, colorful neon lights twinkled around the city center, giving the city a vibrant and colorful appearance.
Jiang Fengyi walked out of the restaurant with a faint smile on her face.
The rich aroma of the food seemed to linger on her lips and teeth, and the firm texture still lingered in her mouth. The unique sauce had conquered her taste buds, tempting her to come back again.
"No wonder it's the most recommended restaurant; the food looks beautiful and tastes delicious." She was visibly happy. "Every shot is a beautiful picture, and every dish is a delicacy."
Xu opened the car door for Jiang Fengyi, placing one hand on the top edge of the car frame to prevent him from hitting his head.
"If you like it, we'll come again next time."
Back home, Zhao Fengyi thought about how Xu had recorded so many little things about her, and she began to follow suit.
When I opened my account, message notifications kept ringing incessantly.
She then remembered that Wu Qi had come to her office before she left work, and after enjoying a wonderful dinner with Xu, she hadn't taken these negative comments to heart.
As usual, I shared my joy for the evening.
She updated two posts at the same time.
A message to share happiness.
One response to this matter.
When Xu Que and I got together, she didn't know Zhao Ruxuan yet.
After all, she and Xu signed a contract the first time they met, becoming a couple bound together.
