Chapter 80: Rong Mochen: Why Are You Crying (1)

Chapter 80: Chapter 80: Rong Mochen: Why Are You Crying (1) She thought she had almost forgotten that cool and aloof older brother in her memory, the one she always had to chase after. But in reality, that wasn’t the case at all. He never left her heart for a moment. That’s why, in that situation, she blurted out his familiar name, just like when she was a child, relying on him... This realization made Jian Liangtong’s face turn a bit pale, her bright eyes filled with helplessness and panic. "Uh-oh." Jian Liangtong heard a voice, and slowly turned her blank eyes to look at Jin Jumo with a somewhat dry voice, "What’s wrong?" Jin Jumo licked her lips and pointed at the computer screen, "Headline." Jian Liangtong looked over and her eyes immediately fixed on the computer screen, shocked, "What, what, what is this?" "King Huo near prestigious school plays domineering CEO, romance exposed? Latest news, King Huo’s rumored spouse might be prestigious school flower..." Jin Jumo kindly read out each headline. The more Jian Liangtong listened, the more she broke down. Damn, someone said she was an internet celebrity? Internet celebrity my ass? Have you ever seen such naturally beautiful internet celebrities? No, wait! The point now isn’t that! It’s that, everyone is misunderstanding, ahhhhhh! "Juzi, Huo Shaojun and I are really innocent, as pure as tofu. Do these reporters not have any professional ethics and conduct, writing nonsense articles without fact-checking? They’ll cost lives!" "But..." Jin Jumo sympathetically looked at Jian Liangtong’s pale face, "Huo Shaojun admitted that you are his girlfriend..." "Juzi, I’m telling you, today’s entertainment news can’t be trusted... You, what did you say?" Jian Liangtong stopped mid-sentence and suddenly realized what Jin Jumo just said, her mouth open wide enough to fit an egg. "Look, see for yourself." Jin Jumo clicked on a video. "Earlier, a reporter spotted King Huo near G University. Did King Huo really go to G University?" an entertainment reporter from a video site asked. In the video, Huo Shaojun, rarely in a fitted suit, stood straight and tall, with a face as sharp and cold as a blade. Upon hearing the question, he squinted and very simply replied with two words, "It’s me." "Why did King Huo go to G University, and in the video, King Huo appears to be in a hurry. Is he eager to meet someone?" Huo Shaojun did not deny it, nor did he dodge the question; he straightforwardly admitted it, causing the reporters encircling him to grow increasingly excited. Questions flew continuously. "Someone needed me." Huo Shaojun replied curtly with a few words. "Is that person a man or a woman?" Huo Shaojun gave the reporter a cold glance, "Isn’t there a video?" "..." The reporter was momentarily embarrassed. "It is said that the girl in the video is King Huo’s new assistant, is that correct?" "No. She and Guan Yu are both my managers." "King Huo, King Huo, what is your relationship with the girl in the video? The girl in the video seems very reliant on you—are you two very close? Is she your girlfriend?" As soon as the reporter’s question fell, the entire room fell silent. Obviously, this was what everyone was most curious about. Not only the reporters, but even Jin Jumo and Jian Liangtong, who were watching the video, simultaneously fell silent, holding their breath as they watched Huo Shaojun. Huo Shaojun’s mouth was pressed into a line, but his cold eyes stared directly into the camera. Jian Liangtong’s heart pounded wildly, as if his gaze fell on her unobstructedly. "Yes." "..." The word "yes" stunned everyone present, and it was only after Huo Shaojun left that everyone suddenly came back to their senses. Jin Jumo and Jian Liangtong in front of the screen were also dazed for a long time. After a while, Jin Jumo swallowed and looked at Jian Liangtong, "King Huo’s answer was a bit too simple and rough, wasn’t it?" Actually, she wanted to say, how manly! Jian Liangtong looked at Jin Jumo blankly, not even noticing when her fingers pinched into her own thigh, "How, how can he do this? When did I agree to be his girlfriend?" "...You didn’t agree?" Jin Jumo looked slightly stunned. "No! It’s inexplicable, just inexplicable! How can Huo Shaojun do this?" Jian Liangtong snapped out of her shock, suddenly stood up from her chair, and went insane! "I’m doomed! Juzi, I’m really doomed this time. If I go out, I’ll definitely be pelted with rotten leaves by his crazy fans! What did I ever do to him for him to harm me like this?" Jian Liangtong babbled, her frantic rambling words left Jin Jumo both amused and at a loss. "King Huo isn’t afraid of losing fans, so what are you afraid of?" Jin Jumo said. "He has tens of millions of followers on Weibo; how can he lose them all? What is he afraid of? The one in trouble is me, it’s me!" Jian Liangtong ruffled her hair. Jin Jumo’s lip twitched. In her view, King Huo undoubtedly announced their relationship publicly, while a certain blockhead was worried about this and that. It really wasn’t easy for King Huo to have such a silly girl. Jin Jumo clicked on the online video of the two at G University, letting Jian Liangtong stew for a while. Watching the video, Jin Jumo realized the event happened on the night Jian Liangtong was kidnapped. In the video, Jian Liangtong crouched helplessly on the ground. When she saw Huo Shaojun, she rushed over, her fragile appearance made Jin Jumo’s heart clench. In her past life, she must have saved the galaxy; in this life, it led her to meet Jian Liangtong. "No, I have to clarify, I must clarify!" "Clarify?" Jin Jumo looked at Jian Liangtong in confusion. Jian Liangtong nodded solemnly, "For my own safety, I have to clarify!" With that, Jian Liangtong shooed Jin Jumo away, sat in front of the computer, and quickly logged into Weibo. Sure enough, as soon as she logged in, there were tens of thousands of private messages for her. And her Weibo followers shot up from tens of thousands to several million at once. Jian Liangtong was trembling with anger, took a deep breath, and opened the private messages. Oh my gosh! They were all insults! Jian Liangtong’s hands trembled with anger, tears welled up in her eyes, feeling extremely aggrieved. Jin Jumo, feeling a bit sympathetic, said, "Stop looking." Jian Liangtong pouted, looking at Jin Jumo with reddened eyes, "Juzi, look at me, take a good look." "..." "Do I damn well look like a plastic surgery face? Do I look like an internet celebrity? Where do I look like a scheming witch?" Jian Liangtong slammed the table. Jin Jumo sweatdropped, "They’re just jealous of you. Don’t pay attention to them." "No, I want to!" Jian Liangtong was so serious, she actually started replying to each one. Oh my! Jin Jumo facepalmed. This girl must have been too provoked! Taking a deep breath, Jin Jumo hurriedly stopped her, "With so many, can you reply to them all? And you’re alone, they’re thousands." Thousands? Jian Liangtong’s shoulders shrank, she silently weighed her strength and deleted the line she had just typed. But the frustration inside her couldn’t be vented, the resentment almost shattered the screen. "Alright, they’re just people who don’t know the truth, using a platform to vent. Don’t take it to heart," Jin Jumo comforted. "Humph, vent about what? Is Huo Shaojun their husband or something? Why say I’m a plastic surgery dog? Why accuse me of being a scheming witch, why call me a little witch?" Jin Jumo realized that the girl was fixated on the plastic surgery accusation. Feeling a little amused, Jin Jumo turned her head to the side, took a breath, and then looked back at Jian Liangtong, "They’re jealous of your beauty, that’s why they fantasize you’ve had plastic surgery." "Humph." Jian Liangtong snorted softly, "This is all Huo Shaojun’s fault! What kind of madness is this! Now everyone’s out to scold me!" Jin Jumo suddenly thought Huo Shaojun was unusually pitiful! Jian Liangtong frowned, stared at the screen for a while, and then sat up straight, her fingers tapping on the keyboard.
