Chapter 384: When We Gave Her Screentime
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Huo Jinyan’s family background was considered good, but there were too many rumors about him. At first, Gu Chen did not like him, but after thinking about it, it was better if Lu Ning experienced the hardships of the world as early as possible; it would also be good if she were to lose interest in men along the way.
He did not know if Huo Jinyan would stay for long, but he had a strange temper. Perhaps one day, if the two of them got together, Lu Ning would not be able to stand his temper anymore and decide to break up with him. She’ll become completely disappointed in men and focus on being the boss. That’d surely be wonderful!
Therefore, after thinking about this, Gu Chen decided not to stop Huo Jinyan from appearing beside Lu Ning as Gu Zi did.
Moreover, such things could not be stopped forcefully. Rather, if they interfered too much Lu Ning might actually get together with Huo Jinyan for real.
Hence, Gu Chen let nature take its course.
No matter what decision Lu Ning made, he would accept it. Then, when Lu Ning gave Huo Jinyan the boot, he would take her back to Yizhou to set up shop.
Huo Jinyan peered at Gu Chen. He did not know what he was thinking, but he was still startled by what he said.
After all, he knew that he truly desired the best for Lu Ning.
When the treatment was over, Huo Jinyan went out. Lu Ning looked at Gu
Chen. “I’ll be coming here to join you for lunch.”
Gu Chen nodded and took off his mask with a smile. “Okay.”
Lu Ning and Lin Ci left with Huo Jinyan, and the three of them entered the school building through the side door.
Huo Jinyan went to the staff office, while Lu Ning and Lin Ci returned to the classroom.
The incident in the morning had yet to be concluded when another incident attracted attention at noon.
Someone had posted a video of Lu Ning being surrounded by people at the school gate in the morning.
However, the video was maliciously edited. Lu Ning only said one sentence before it was edited into something completely different.
In the video, someone outside the video asked Lu Ning, “Miss Lu, do you have anything to say to the netizens about your sudden popularity?”
Lu Ning frowned slightly and looked a little impatient. “You’re troubling me now.”
Then, the video ended amidst some commotion.
Under this video, many alternate accounts started to attack Lu Ning. [How dare you, did you forget who were the ones who made you famous!?]
[If not for us netizens, who would know who she is? If you feel troubled, then don’t film yourself! ]
[She’s troubled by the fact that we made her popular? When we gave her screentime?]
Although the criticisms were levied against her first, the other netizens who rushed over after seeing the news were not easily duped.
@FastTabloidReader: [What’s going on in this comment section? I think my wifey is right, it’s really troubling when everyone suddenly becomes like this.]
@DetailsFreakAlpha: [Does anyone think that this voiceover was edited in later? It doesn’t seem to match the background sound and Ning Bae’s voice.]
@TheWeatherIsQuiteGood: [There’s nothing unusual, my waifu’s only a third-year student. Of course she’ll be troubled! They should keep quiet and let my waifu take the college entrance examinations properly! ]
@YouSaidYouWantToTalk: [Can anyone post a full video? 1 want to see how many people were surrounding her, seems like there are a lot of voices.]
@lWannaFly: [Although I don’t care much for this girl, it’s obvious that there are so many alternate accounts attacking her. Who paid the troll army to mess with a little girl like this?]
Now, most of them were not going to be fooled; they could tell what was going on with just a glance.
But there were also some people who did not know the truth and had a poor impression of Lu Ning.
However, what was interesting was that someone quickly posted another video about Lu Ning in the afternoon. This time, the video really showed all the original footage and audio from the incident..
