Chapter 560: Chapter 560

Supportive and opposing voices were abundant, and as everyone expressed their viewpoints, discussions escalated into arguments, with memorable quotes popping up frequently. Remarkably, this gossip morphed into a discussion on interpersonal relationships and social development.

After accomplishing all this, Luo You indulged in watching the trends of public opinion online, occasionally steering the narratives with marketing accounts, all within his expectations.

Before he could satisfy his curiosity, that unfamiliar phone number called again.

After some thought, Luo You decided to hang up directly.

Sheng Yan’s Weibo post provided a turning point for the situation, prompting netizens to think more rationally. A single spark can start a prairie fire, and just with that bit of rationality, He Jinxia was completely capable of turning things around on her own.

Since it was discovered from that stranger that He Hui’s illness was fabricated, and her outward appearance was all an act, everything became manageable.

Initially, Luo You was somewhat cautious, afraid that He Hui was genuinely sick, and that her silence was merely to squeeze more money from He Jinxia.

But ever since that phone call, Luo You knew it was all a conspiracy—He Hui was not ill at all!

Since she was not ill, everything became manageable.

Produce evidence of the illness, and Jinxia would pay up!

If you can’t produce it, well, don’t blame us for disowning you, even if we are relatives—we’ll see you in court!

He Hui’s spread of false statements had long met the conditions for violating the law.

Not only that, Luo You also called the police, handing over both the audio of the call with the strange man and the videos he sent to the authorities.

The stranger’s actions had reached the level of extortion, and Luo You was not afraid of him.

After resolving everything, he finally let out a deep sigh of relief, then opened Weibo to repeatedly look over the "..." comments Sheng Yan posted, unable to contain his joy. Googlᴇ search novel[f]ire.net

Lucky star! Sheng Yan was definitely a nobler in He Jinxia’s fate!

Suddenly thinking of something, Luo You’s eyes brightened, anticipating the major shock it would cause in the entertainment circle once their relationship went public.

The relationship between the two hadn’t been made public yet. If just three comments from Sheng Yan could change He Jinxia’s crisis, imagine if they got married—wouldn’t Jinxia become invincible, untouchable by anyone?

While Luo You was reveling in his delight, another individual, Zhang Ming, was in his room, furiously shouting about making Sheng Yan pay!

Damn, so angry! He’s done!

What happened to not taking sides?

If you’re not taking sides, why reply with three comments, even if they were just inconspicuous ellipses? But it’s precisely the ellipses that make people think deeper!

Zhang Ming grabbed a cushion with Sheng Yan’s image on it from the sofa and began to furiously rub it to death!

After thrashing "Sheng Yan" a bit, his anger subsided somewhat, and he regained his composure.

Looking again at Sheng Yan’s comments, Zhang Ming couldn’t help but shake his head and quietly curse Sheng Yan for being sly.

Isn’t it cunning? He verbally agreed not to take sides, but his actions in the shadows suggested otherwise, and yet you couldn’t fault him because he truly hadn’t made any statements about taking sides.

There’s a saying, "the more you say, the more mistakes you make." Sheng Yan simply stopped speaking and posted just "...", leaving it to the netizens to imagine the rest.

"Wow, what a clever move!"

Zhang Ming sighed, resignedly picked up his phone, and called Sheng Yan’s dedicated PR team to clean up after Sheng Yan.

Fortunately, it was just an ellipsis that had been sent. Had it been text or an emoji, it would have been even more difficult to handle.

By the time Luo You and Zhang Ming had managed everything, it was already noontime.

Mrs. He returned to the hotel at noon, her eyes slightly red, looking like she had cried.

He Jinxia looked at her, wanting to say something but hesitated. Sheng Yan, sitting beside her, saw this and shook his head at her, then he took Jinxia’s hand in his.

Jinxia glanced at him, sighed softly in her heart, and ultimately didn’t say anything.

She understood the bitterness her mother had endured alone over the years. Several times, the thought of persuading her mother to find another companion had crossed her mind.

But considering her mother’s affection for her father, she remained silent.

Perhaps everyone has such a place in their heart, inhabited by someone for whom you’re willing to wait forever, untouchable by anyone else.

Having paid her respects to He Zhixiang, He Fang had no reason to stay in Qingdu. With the major holiday, she couldn’t go out much and staying in the hotel was suffocating, so she discussed with Jinxia and Sheng Yan after lunch.

The communication went smoothly, and the younger generation had no objections about whether to stay in Qingdu or return to Imperial City.

Since they were not leaving today, they would have to leave tomorrow. Jinxia had a brand endorsement interview tomorrow evening, so there was plenty of time.

Regarding this endorsement interview, it was the mysterious gift Luo You had mentioned over the phone before the New Year.

He Jinxia had never expected that Luo You would not only get her an endorsement interview but also for a luxury brand!

This made Jinxia take it seriously.

Mrs. He thought it over and decided it was better to leave earlier rather than later.

Since Sheng Yan had come in secret, they needed to leave the hotel separately, and their departure times back to Qingdu also had to be staggered.

He Jinxia and Mrs. He left the hotel first. As soon as they stepped out, they were heavily surrounded by reporters. Thankfully, the security guards were in front to give them some breathing space.

"He Jinxia, do the latest comments online reflect your thoughts or those of Tonghua Entertainment? Why did you choose to lend money to He Hui instead of giving it to her, are you trying to use this as leverage over her?"

"He Jinxia, both Yu Yanyu and Qin Siqin have publicly stated that you’re not . Are you close friends with them?"

"He Jinxia, what do you think about the online responses regarding Sheng Yan? Do you think Emperor Sheng is supporting you? You are fellow disciples, is he looking out for you?"

Amid the chaotic voices, He Jinxia clearly heard the reporter’s questions, and even she found it unbelievable.

Because the question involved Sheng Yan, her steps faltered imperceptibly, but she was soon pushed forward by the surging crowd.

He Jinxia looked down at her hand, which was empty. The engagement ring had been taken off and was now worn around her neck.

The necklace for the ring was matched by Sheng Yan. When Jinxia received the necklace, she couldn’t help but think if Sheng Yan had prepared the engagement ring early on, how meticulously he had prepared.

Sheng Yan even explained, "Don’t worry about being seen, there’s a brand on the market where the pendant is a ring design, and it’s the latest model released this year. The price is within your range, if the reporters catch a photo, they’ll only think it’s the latest model."
