Chapter 431: The Outside is Already Boiling Over
“I’m kind of craving it. Can we have some together?” Rong Yan added in a coquettish manner before he could answer.
The man who originally wanted to refuse was thus defeated and compromised, “Hmm.”
“OK, then I’ll go wash them!” Rong Yan, finding something to do, scampered off to wash the grapes.
After she ran off, Li Shengxiao narrowed his eyes and took a deep look at the flowers nearby, furrowing his brows.
Outside Kanghui Hospital, the entire internet was abuzz because of an unexpected occurrence at the HN TV station’s evening party.
[Did Rong Yan just get egged? Who did it, could it be that certain someone?]
[What’s with the nonsense above? What does that have to do with our Weiwei?]
[Could a certain fanbase please keep their dogs in check? I, a mere passerby, casually make a comment and some of you can’t wait to jump out and quickly claim the incident for your master. Did you even ask for your master’s opinion? If I were Rong Weiwei, I would be infuriated to death by this kind of brain-dead fan, you know?]
Passersby and fans bickered up and down, generating 999+ replies.
The heat of the second topic differed completely from the brawl above.
[Am I the only one who noticed how handsome that guy is?]
[Oh, for a moment I thought it was a segment planned by the TV station, so romantic! If a hot guy saved me at the last second, I’d definitely offer myself in return.]
[I said before that Rong Yan has a boyfriend, that must be her boyfriend, right? So handsome.]
[I don’t get why she’s rumored online to have an improper relationship with some old man. Honestly, if I had such a handsome boyfriend, I wouldn’t give a second glance to anyone else.]
[Whoever is talking about improper relationships must not have been keeping up with the latest news; the truth about that was revealed a long time ago. Here’s a link for you. Go check it out for yourself.]
[Why do I feel like that guy is the president of the Li Group?]
Online sleuths went to work, and techies slowed down the footage that had not been switched to commercials in time, trying to technically reveal the male lead’s identity.
But strangely, even though the incident caused a major uproar online, there was not a single trending topic about it, and any post discussing the matter extensively was blocked.
Moreover, posts that astutely mentioned Li Shengxiao’s identity were manually censored, and the accounts of those posters were muted for seven days.
The intensity of the response managed to slightly suppress the viral momentum.
But the more it was suppressed, sometimes the more it bounced back! Although it couldn’t reach the top trending topics, on people’s individual social media, the incident was repeatedly brought up. Many were privately discussing just who Rong Yan’s boyfriend was, and why the trending searches and hot posts mysteriously vanished.
Because the interest remained high, even Rong Yan’s personal account was bombarded by onlookers. Some came to question her relationship with Zhong Yuye, others urged her to go public with her romance, some fixated on her egg-throwing incident, and others sought to take the opportunity to clear Rong Weiwei’s name.
There were people praising and people cursing in the mix.
Even as the PR department worked tirelessly to control the comments, the sheer number of shares and replies was overwhelming. Everyone was working overtime and it still looked like an impossible task to clear up.
Seeing the situation was uncontrollable, Estelle simply decided to give Rong Yan a call.
