Jiang Yue's mystery boyfriend
4"Brother Zhe, how could you hide this from us?! I only knew about it through the Internet! Do you even have any plans on telling us? This is a matter worth celebrating!" Gao Jing exclaimed, prompting Luo Zhelan to take the phone away from his ear.
He then scoffed as he replied, "You just want a reason to get wasted again and not pay even a cent in Fu Xifeng's club."
"What are you saying? I'm certainly happy for you," Gao Jing responded, "So, when's the celebration?"
"You won't be invited," Luo Zhelan ended the call right away knowing that anything that came out of Gao Jing's mouth was nonsense.
He entered his car, and before he could even turn on the engine, he received another call again this time from Qin Zirui.
Luo Zhelan answered the phone call, "What is it?"
"Brother Zhe, please tell me you're the boyfriend of Miss Jiang, or all hell would break loose!" Qin Zirui stated on the other end of the phone.
"I am."
"Ah, I knew it! Fu Liwei refuses to give me the money because he said it wasn't official yet! So why don't you repeat your words and I'll record it and send it to him?"
Luo Zhelan didn't know what to feel hearing that his friend just made a bet about his relationship. But in the end, he still said, "I am Jiang Yue's boyfriend."
"Thanks, Brother Zhe— ah, by the way, congratulations! And here I thought you'd be the last one to enter a serious relationship among the four of us, yet you beat us to it."
"I'll properly introduce her soon to all of you."
The call ended not long after and he opened Weibo, with how those two had been calling her, he could already guess that there must be a video of Jiang Yue saying those words circulating the platform again.
Seeing 'Jiang Yue's Mystery Boyfriend' as one of the trending topics, his guess was indeed correct.
Anything that girl does would easily go popular which is understandable because of who she is. The identities of Naiton's Top Scorer, Triple Z, and Kai were already tied down with the name 'Jiang Yue'.
Luo Zhelan opened the posts under that topic and read through every post and comments that he stumbled upon.
He couldn't help but laugh reading some comments that were asking for his identity. It was the first time that he wanted to be popular on Weibo but as Jiang Yue's boyfriend.
Being the President of the Luo Corporation, if he wanted to, he'd be in the trending topics every day, not just because of how influential his position is but because he can buy a spot in the trending topics as well.
However, every post about him had always been taken down other than the ones posted by news outlets which were mostly about the achievements of Luo Corporation.
However, his smile started to become strained when he read that some comments were mentioning several people; Zheng Qingsheng, K Knight, and some person who he was not familiar with but was an actor.
What do they mean that Jiang Yue and Zheng Qingsheng are perfect for each other?
Who even is this Deng Jie?
And why is that sick-in-the-head player even considered her potential boyfriend?
Do these people have bad vision or are they simply dumb?
Luo Zhelan scrolled through the comments trying to find if anyone had mentioned him but he found none. It is only then that he realized that no issue was going around between him and Jiang Yue.
If there is nothing, then he will create it himself.
He called Yang Lei and after it was answered in the second ring, he said, "What's my official account on Weibo? Send it to me— and have the team push Jiang Yue's trending topic at number one then get those comments mentioning other men's names removed."
Yang Lei who was listening on the other end of the phone was dumbfounded.
Luo Zhelan had never cared about his official account in Weibo and gave it to him to handle, so hearing him bring it up took him aback.
"Okay, I'll send it to you," It is only then that he remembered the videos of Jiang Yue going around, so he asked, "Young Master Luo, what are you going to use it for?"
Yang Lei could already guess that he must have the intention to do something about those posts about Jiang Yue if he's asking for his official account.
"From what I remember, it's my account."
"I know that Young Master, but if you do something anything that is related to Miss Jiang with your official account, do you think people won't immediately connect the dots between you too?"
Especially since his Weibo official account has nothing but just sharing some articles about Luo Corporation, and even liking just one post about Jiang Yue would be enough to draw attention to the account.
"That's exactly what I want."
"Young Master Luo, would Miss Jiang want to have the relationship between the two of you exposed to everyone?"
The other side of the phone was silent for a few seconds before he heard a response, "Then just have those comments removed."
"I understand, Young Master."
Luo Zhelan ran his hand through his hair just as the call ended.
Yang Lei was right.
He wanted to claim the title of Jiang Yue's boyfriend so much that he forgot it might not be what she wanted.
It might draw more attention to her especially since she already had so much due to her several identities.
Not to mention that it must be too much pressure for her to be his girlfriend because of his identity.
In the meantime, the best course of action for the two of them was to take small steps in their relationship and not rush things up.
***
Several days passed and without even Luo Zhelan using buying the number one trending spot, the topic 'Jiang Yue's mystery boyfriend' was still able to climb to the top because of certain reasons.
Zheng Qingsheng who had lay low after the issue was settled, had released news weeks ago of the official opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony of his studio and would release an important announcement on the same day.
Despite leaving a big company such as Prime Media Entertainment, Zheng Qingsheng's popularity did not lessen one bit, on the contrary, he became even more popular after the scandal.
Jiang Yue who had helped him with his contract termination and had been his composer since then, was also invited, and her presence at the event was enough to make assumptions again about her 'boyfriend'.
Jiang Yue, Jiang Xiu, Fu Xifeng, and Mao Shi are already seated in the first row of seats at the venue for the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Zheng Qingsheng who had been an idol for years also has his connections, and so, along with them are also several well-known and influential people in the entertainment industry.
Although it was just a studio opening, a lot of relevant media outlets are also present to create a buzz about this event.
Jiang Xiu who was sitting between her sister and Mao Shi, couldn't help but notice how fidgety the latter was, so she asked, "Sister Shi, is there any problem?"
Mao Shi turned towards her and explained in a small voice, "The one beside me is the Film Queen, Meng Ah. I would have never thought one day I'd be able to sit next to her, it feels like a dream come true."
Jiang Xiu laughed, then she whispered back with a smile on her face, "I couldn't believe I'm sitting next to the female lead of 'Wallflower' either."
Wallflower was the drama in which Mao Shi was starring as the female lead, the one that Yan Chun Hua had stolen and she was able to retrieve back.
Mao Shi, hearing her remark, had her eyes start to get teary.
Everything feels like a dream come true for her, indeed.
She would have never thought she'd be sitting on the VIP seat of Zheng Qingsheng's ribbon cutting ceremony, sitting next to someone she always looked up to and her inspiration as an actress, and getting to choose which film and drama she could try to audition as her new manager is not denying her the resources she deserved.
"I'll binge-watch it once it's out," Jiang Xiu said and then added afterward, "Don't listen about what those haters say, you certainly deserved the role."
Wallflower was a big drama and thousands of people are looking forward to it since it was a drama adaptation of one of the best-known novels in their country. Mao Shi who had barely any big projects, would certainly be among the back of the line who will be accepted as the female lead.
Yet in the end, after auditioning for the third supporting female lead, she was instead given the chance to audition for the female lead, and she was chosen.
However, before she could even celebrate it, Yan Chun Hua had instead stolen it from her. Mao Shi had no idea how she was able to steal the role knowing that the woman had no acting cells in her body.
Everything that happened in the past, she had already put in the back of her mind and started to focus on the present.
