1200: Breathless from Anger

Breathless from Anger

"Haha, the person above, I'd question whether you're a paid poster if you really say so."2

And because of this, the netizens got into a row.

"My goodness! Who did I see?! D*mn… the secret guest is really awesome!"

"The person's out already?"

"Some people are really funny. They're yet to watch the episode and are already here criticizing everything. See? Their true colors are revealed."

"He's out! The figures in the show and the site's main page have lit up!"

"Wang Juhuai! It's Wang Juhuai!"

"Oh my goodness, it's actually Wang Juhuai!"

"How did Lu Man do it?! I thought Sun Yiwu and Ji Cheng were the limit, but she actually invited Wang Juhuai!"

"The production team said it's his first-ever appearance on a variety show globally, and it's really true."

"Wang Juhuai actually performed live. No wonder the audience who went to watch the filming said it was totally worth it after they came back. And it really is! As if they were earning thousands by the minute."

News of Wang Juhuai's appearance on Classic X Files spread rapidly. Within a short minute, it became the top result for the most-searched item, and it was even followed by a "Hot" sign.

"Turns out Wang Juhuai is Lu Man's stepfather!"

"Her background is really impressive."

"I remember there was a news piece previously, saying Han Zhuoli's wife is Wang Juhuai's daughter. It isn't Lu Man, is it?"

"Can't be. I've checked. Below are Han Zhuoli's wife's wedding ring and Lu Man's wedding ring." A netizen posted two screenshots. "They're obviously different, and didn't the person who leaked the news apologize and the news deleted? Lu Man never said anything; probably unwilling to use this issue to promote herself."

"Makes sense."

"A rock and a hard place. If she clarified, people will say she's trying to promote herself. If she didn't, people would still think this way."

Meanwhile, over at Xing Ke Station, Chief Hu could do nothing but stare at the plummeting live viewership data.

What a pity that they could not check the data for Classic X Files.

The most they could do was to watch their programs from their own station.

It's not for certain that these viewers had all changed channels to watch Classic X Files.

Right then, someone commented, "I thought Friday (with the Stars) was quite something to have been able to invite Zhang Bo, but after comparing him with Wang Juhuai, I'm sorry, those over at Friday (with the Stars) are just nobodies."

Someone even sneakily tagged Liang Chengbing. "Director Liang, how does it feel to get slapped in the face?"

Liang Chengbing saw but paid no heed to those people.

He kept his anger to himself. So what if it's Wang Juhuai?

Actual viewership ratings would only be known tomorrow!

Over at the hospital.

Lu Qiyuan was watching Classic X Files in his ward.

He knew Lu Man attended it, and for reasons unknown to him, he just felt like watching.

He had never treated Lu Man as his daughter properly, and ever since he had Lu Qi, Lu Man had fallen even further from his favor.

He had never even helped her once with her job.

Be it schooling, working, or entering the entertainment industry, he had never aided her despite having the ability to do so.

Now, he's sick and recuperating at the hospital.

Though he seemed to have recovered to his previous form, his body was actually severely weakened.

For some reason, Lu Man came to his mind during his weaker moments.

This was why he was watching Classic X Files.

Watching Lu Man's performance, he had to admit that Lu Man acted so much better than Lu Qi did.

However, when he saw Wang Juhuai coming on stage and then having a public display of affection with Xia Qingwei, Lu Qiyuan's face flushed red. He was so furious, he could not catch his breath.
