97: A call from the least person she expected

A call from the least person she expected

Jiang Yue had missed calls from five people: Luo Zhelan, Wei Guozhi, Xiaoli, Phantom, and another person she did not expect.2

When she dialed the number of the last person who had called her, she couldn't help but say, "I thought you'd forget about me."

"I was about to, but guess who I saw on Weibo? You liar! I thought you weren't a social person! You're on the top three trending topics, even I couldn't do that!" said the person on the other end.

Jiang Yue's lips twitched as she replied, "Do you think that's something to be proud of? Are people these days so bored with their lives that they can make something that just happened blow up?"

It hadn't even been a day, ye those news were already going around.

"Your pictures with a chin or lips that can only be seen have more hearts than mine where I wear bikinis!"

"Sunshine, why don't you try to disclose your identity as well and you'll have all the attention you want; you might even grab all the top ten trending topics," Jiang Yue scoffs.

"Who said I like attention? I only like seeing the number of hearts on all my posts increase!"

"Do you have anything important to say to me or I'll end this—" She hadn't even finished her sentence when the other person yelled, "Fine, fine, I just called you to hear the gossip—" Jiang Yue didn't hesitate to end the call when she realized the other person had called her for nonsense.

She assumed that the woman had gotten herself into another situation in which she required her help or erased her trace.

She doesn't even know which country that woman has gone to. 

She called back Luo Zhelan, which the man had answered on the first ring. 

"Have you opened Weibo?" He asked on the other end. 

"I'm the main character, how could I not?" Jiang Yue retorted back. 

Hearing that the girl could still joke about it, he knew that she probably didn't take seriously all those negative comments about her. 

"Do you want me to delete those posts? The news articles will be difficult to remove, but not impossible."

Hearing his words, Jiang Yue couldn't help but raise her brow, "Luo Zhelan, were you the one who deleted all those videos of me as Triple Z?" 

For her, it isn't that difficult to get all those posts deleted but for others, either they had to hire some hackers as well or they need to appeal on Weibo to get any posts taken down for some plausible reason which would sometimes take days. 

But for someone like Luo Zhelan, he can get it done in one night. 

Luo Zhelan can't help but be stunned when she said his name. 

It was the first time the girl had called his name as most times she would call him 'Young Master Luo'.

"Hmm," he hummed as his hands ran through his hair and he sat back in his swivel chair, "some people were leaving disgusting comments about you and I had to do something about it. Don't worry, I didn't go overboard." 

"Why would I care about those comments, I just never thought it would be you." 

"Then do you want me to take down those posts about you?" 

"No, let it be, I have plans for it," she said, leaning back against the wall.

She moved her gaze to the three girls, whose hands were frantically typing on their phones, probably replying to all those malicious comments about her. 

"It's better this way, let them speculate about what happened. The more this matter blew up, the more damage Prime Media Entertainment would receive." 

They plan to play this way then she will entertain them. 

She'll make them regret doing so. 

"I was worried for nothing, I sometimes forget that you have your way of doing things," Luo Zhelan said, furrowing her brows.

"No, you didn't worry for nothing— Uhm, thank you for your help."

She may not always accept when he lends his hand, but it still warms her heart when he does.

She appreciates that, and she doesn't want him to think of her as someone invisible who can settle everything on her own, especially when she's beginning to lean toward him as well.

Hearing her saying those words as her voice becomes softer, a smile slowly formed on Luo Zhelan's lips. 

Is she already opening her heart to him?

"Then don't be afraid to ask for help if you can't or don't want to settle anything."

"Aha," Jiang Yue hummed, before repeating, "Thank you."

After speaking with him, she told the three girls, "Don't waste your time replying to all those comments, it's futile."

"But, how could they just say that to you?"

"Someone even dared to call you a shameless slut just because of what? You worked with Zheng Qingsheng?" Hu Mei scoffed, "The hell do we care about him, they can have him all they want! We're all freaking busy studying for the College Entrance Examination, do they think you'd have time to seduce him?"

Jiang Xiu nodded, although she was not sure about the last part as her sister never took the time to study for the upcoming national exams.

"Sister, there aren't many comments that have gone overboard, but once they know who you are, they might start cursing you," Jiang Xiu said, making them think about it.

"This is just the start, and it won't be long before someone who knows you reply to those comments with your name. Then what will you do?" 

Jiang Yue folded her arms as her fingers tapped on them. 

"Go with the flow." 

"Huh?" 

"People would start cursing you, and you'd just go along with it?"

"Then should I reply to all of those comments explaining my side? Do you think those people would listen? Only irrefutable facts could make them shut up," she said, leaving the other three silent because they knew she was correct.

They knew what they were doing before was pointless, but they couldn't do anything.

"Then you would slap them with hard facts, right?" Jiang Xiu questioned, worried that her sister would do nothing because she doesn't care what other people think of her.

"Yes," she said, nodding, "after I've been completely cursed out."
