Chapter 271 - Irrelevant People
The Weibo Search incident was caused by the Weibo post Gu Zhiqian posted. In that post, Gu Zhiqian only showed the table and the nutritional supplements on the table accompanied by some texts that invited people’s imagination. The outside world had already begun to speculate whether Gu Zhiqian was in love. The post was deleted after a short time, which made the behavior even more suspicious. For that reason, even though the post was deleted by Gu Zhiqian, the story behind him and that picture continued to generate buzz online.
It was unclear who posted a photo of Gu Zhiqian and Ling Tianya that day on the Internet. In the photo, Gu Zhiqian sat next to Ling Tianya and the table was covered with supplements. Observant people easily recognized that the supplements on the table matched the ones in the photo Gu Zhiqian posted.
As soon as the photo was posted, the army of gossipers on the Internet went to work.
Various speculations about the relationship between Ling Tianya and Gu Zhiqian began to spread on the Internet. The most popular theory was that Ling Tianya and Gu Zhiqian secretly had feelings for each other…
Gu Zhiqian also saw that. He put his phone on the table with both hands spread out. “I had nothing to do with this.”
Ling Tianya believed him on that. Gu Zhiqian had just been taught a lesson by Ruan Zeyan. He didn’t even dare to go back to his own family because he was afraid that his father would skin him alive. Why would he do something like that? The most he could do was talk trash about Ruan Zeyan in front of Ling Tianya.
“Mr. Gu, Miss Ling, I need to come clean to you about some things.” Yi Tian said in a concerned voice.
Ling Tianya looked indifferent. Obviously, the photo was taken by someone in the crew, but it was not easy to find out who.
Gu Zhiqian gave a sly laugh. His handsome face had a touch of devilish charm. “I am very glad that little Yaya and I made it on Weibo Search. Some comments said that the two of us look good together. I want to like those compliments one by one.”
Yi Tian’s face froze for a second. Then she clenched the script on her hand and lowered her head.
“Whose comment did you want to like?” A cold voice suddenly spoke. Nobody knew how long Ruan Zeyan had been standing by, looking at them with a blank expression.
No one was expecting to see Ruan Zeyan, Gu Zhiqian straightened his back and said in a charming and provocative tone, “Of course those cute netizens who said that little Yaya and I look good together.”
Ruan Zeyan chuckled and said casually, “Remember the treat, but not the punishment.” He walked over to Ling Tianya and someone already brought a chair for Ruan Zeyan.
Choked by Ruan Zeyan’s words, Gu Zhiqian’s face looked scared. The only reason the man said that was to remind him of what happened a few days ago.
“This is the TV crew, why are you here for no reason?” Gu Zhiqian sounded annoyed.
Ruan Zeyan took Ling Tianya’s hand and gently kissed it. It was as if he was announcing his sovereignty. “Have you forgotten whose crew this is?”
Every penny for the crew came from Ruan Zeyan, so he could come and go as he pleased. Who would stop him?
Gu Zhiqian couldn’t bear to stay any longer. On one hand, Ruan Zeyan was beating him down. On the other hand, he had to watch Ruan Zeyan and Ling Tianya playing lovey-dovey. His only sin was posting the Weibo post against his better judgement, but why should he tolerate all of that?
He stood up and wanted to go elsewhere for some peace and quiet but was blocked by Du Gang.
“What is this?” Gu Zhiqian didn’t understand.
“You can’t leave yet.” Ruan Zeyan held Ling Tianya closer. She seemed equally confused, then he said, “Clear away all the irrelevant people.”
Irrelevant people? Yi Tian, who had been sitting there like a fool since Ruan Zeyan appeared, thought to herself, “Is Mr. Ruan referring to me?”
Before she could react, someone came over and pushed her out of the area of the three people. Even her chair was rudely thrown to the side.
