Chapter 80 Confession
Before she could speak, Lu Jinyuan stepped forward, grabbed Lin Xingche by the back of his collar, and carried him to the door like a chick. His movements were swift and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.
"roll"
Lu Jinyuan's voice was as cold as ice, devoid of any warmth.
Lin Xingche struggled:
"Lu Jinyuan! Let me go! I still want to talk to my sister! I still want to confess my feelings to her!"
Lu Jinyuan was too lazy to waste words with him, so he simply threw him out the door and slammed it shut, cutting off all of Lin Xingche's sounds.
After doing all this, he turned to look at Su Jiaojiao, the coldness in his eyes instantly fading, replaced by deep tenderness. He stepped forward and gently pulled her into his arms, his voice low and husky:
"Jiaojiao, I'm sorry, I scared you just now."
Su Jiaojiao leaned against him, inhaling the faint, cool scent of his cigars, and her agitation instantly subsided. She shook her head, her tone tinged with helplessness:
"It's nothing. I just have a bit of a headache."
Jiang Yi stepped forward, handed her a document, and spoke gently:
"This is a statement prepared by the public relations department. Take a look, and if there are no problems, I'll have it released. The statement will clearly state that you and Lin Xingche are just friends, and this was just you helping out; there is no other relationship between you."
Gu Yanchen also stepped forward, holding a blanket in his hand, and gently covered her legs, his movements as tender as if he were handling a fragile treasure.
"It's a bit chilly at night, don't catch a cold."
The three men, who were tense and ready to fight just a moment ago, instantly switched to gentle mode because of her words. Su Jiaojiao watched them, a slight stirring in her heart. She knew that although these three men were a bit possessive and jealous, their feelings for her were genuine.
She took the document Jiang Yi handed her, glanced at it, and then nodded:
"No problem, release it."
Jiang Yi nodded, took out his phone, and sent a message to his assistant.
The statement was quickly published on various platforms.
The statement was clear and logical, with irrefutable evidence, instantly turning public opinion around. Those who had been discussing it before fell silent.
The storm has temporarily subsided.
But the atmosphere in the living room still carried a subtle undertone.
Lu Jinyuan, Jiang Yi, and Gu Yanchen all stared at Su Jiaojiao, their eyes filled with possessiveness and love, none willing to back down. They all knew that the other was their rival in love. They all wanted to possess Su Jiaojiao exclusively, to have her belong to them alone.
Su Jiaojiao looked at the three of them and sighed helplessly.
She knew this matter wouldn't end there.
The next few days were a nightmare for Su Jiaojiao.
Lu Jinyuan would make time to visit Su Jiaojiao at the Su family manor every day. He would take her to eat all sorts of delicious food, see all sorts of beautiful scenery, and buy her all sorts of expensive gifts. He was extremely possessive; if he saw Su Jiaojiao exchanging even a single word with another man, his expression would turn extremely unpleasant.
Jiang Yi was not to be outdone.
He would help Su Jiaojiao handle various issues during her live streams, analyze data for her, and help her plan her future career path. He would even cook for her, preparing all sorts of her favorite dishes. His gentleness was like warm water, nourishing her silently.
Gu Yanchen was even more direct
He would take Su Jiaojiao to his studio, where he would paint all sorts of beautiful pictures for her and design unique jewelry for her. He would also accompany her to movies, watch TV series, and do things she enjoyed together. His eyes were always fixed on Su Jiaojiao, filled with deep affection.
Three men, each displaying their unique talents and using every trick in the book, tried to win Su Jiaojiao's heart. Their competition grew increasingly fierce.
Today, Lu Jinyuan gave Su Jiaojiao a limited-edition sports car; tomorrow, Jiang Yi will give her a villa in the city center; and the day after, Gu Yanchen will give her a unique set of jewelry.
Today, Lu Jinyuan took Su Jiaojiao to a Michelin three-star restaurant. Tomorrow, Jiang Yi will personally cook a Manchu Han Imperial Feast for Su Jiaojiao. The day after tomorrow, Gu Yanchen will take Su Jiaojiao to eat her way through all the delicious food in the streets and alleys.
The tension between them was growing stronger.
Su Jiaojiao felt a headache coming on watching the three of them causing such a ruckus. She tried to persuade them, but they seemed not to hear her and continued to do as they pleased.
Lin Xingche didn't give up either. He would message Su Jiaojiao every day, send her gifts, and occasionally appear in her live streams, showering her with expensive gifts to assert his dominance.
This intensified the jealousy of Lu Jinyuan, Jiang Yi, and Gu Yanchen.
That day, Su Jiaojiao attended an awards ceremony for the live streaming industry. She wore an exquisite gown and meticulously applied makeup, immediately attracting everyone's attention upon her arrival.
Lu Jinyuan, Jiang Yi, and Gu Yanchen all attended the awards ceremony as special guests. They sat in different seats, but their eyes were all fixed on Su Jiaojiao.
Lin Xingche was there too. He was dressed in a handsome suit and sat in the first row of the audience, his eyes fixed on Su Jiaojiao with deep affection.
Halfway through the awards ceremony, the host suddenly suggested an interactive segment—inviting the guests to come on stage and confess their feelings to their crushes.
Lin Xingche was the first to rush forward. Holding the microphone, he looked at Su Jiaojiao below the stage, his eyes resolute, his voice loud and clear:
"Sister! I like you! I've liked you since the first time I saw you! I know I may not be good enough, I may not be mature enough, but I will try my best, I will become a better person, and I will always protect you! Please, give me a chance!"
His words had barely left his mouth when the entire audience erupted in uproar.
All eyes were on Su Jiaojiao.
Su Jiaojiao sat in the audience, watching Lin Xingche on stage.
He sighed helplessly.
Lu Jinyuan, Jiang Yi, and Gu Yanchen all turned extremely pale. They stood up almost simultaneously, their eyes glaring coldly at Lin Xingche on the stage, as if they wanted to devour him alive.
Lin Xingche felt their gazes.
But he still stubbornly looked at Su Jiaojiao, waiting for her answer.
