Do You Still Hate Her? 13 – You, walking the dog, happened to pass by?
Because of Shang Lu’s extreme uncooperativeness and even sabotage, the carefully prepared ‘romantic pursuit of his wife’ scene by Jiang Yi instantly became ridiculous.
The atmosphere on the scene was very awkward, as some media reporters couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
At this moment, Jiang Yi’s face was as dark as his polished shoes, but under the gaze of so many eyes, he naturally had to endure it; otherwise, all his efforts would be in vain.
He had a face that was enough to deceive people, and at this moment, as he looked down at the bouquet, his expression was as desolate as the second male lead in a drama who loved but couldn’t have. His expression was full of helplessness, yet he still managed to smile and said, “If doing this can calm you down, can we have a good talk?”
Everyone : “!!!”
Indeed, quite a few young girls fell for his act.
[Darn, he looks so affectionate. Isn’t he angry at all?]
[Is this some kind of idol drama? My romance soul is burning!]
[Maybe Shang Lu should give Jiang Yi a chance to explain. Could there be a misunderstanding?]
The public opinion in the live broadcast room changed so quickly, and it was also due to another important reason—there was a sudden hot topic trending on Weibo.
#Shang_Lu_Jiang_Yi_Childhood_Sweethearts#
An anonymous internet user has released a graduation photo of a high school class.
In the photo, everyone is wearing blue and white school uniforms, standing in front of the teaching building.
Due to height reasons, the boys are standing in the back row while the girls are standing in the front row. However, there is one exception among the boys in the back row—a thin and weak figure standing there.
Seventeen-year-old Shang Lu, with a plain face but remarkably beautiful, has long shoulder-length hair that looks gentle and sweet. She is standing in the last row, barely showing her head, but she is standing very close to Jiang Yi. It’s obvious that she deliberately came to the back row to take the photo with him.
On the left side of Shang Lu stands Jiang Yi, who is looking straight ahead. His cool face shows a hint of impatience, with his lips slightly pursed.
Beauty is justice, and looking at them, these two actually make a pretty compatible pair, just like the obedient girl and the cold-hearted academic genius in a campus novel.
With the release of this photo, which exudes a strong atmosphere, combined with the entanglements and conflicts between the two over the years, it has led to a phenomenon of many netizens changing sides.
[Wow, childhood sweethearts, engaged couple, they are really a perfect match.]
[Suddenly, I felt sweet looking at this.]
[There are so few people in this class, right? I counted, and there are less than twenty people.]
[The previous commenter seems to be unaware. This is Class A in a Chinese international school. Compared to regular international classes, Class A is only for students who come from wealthy families and have top grades. It’s a requirement that both criteria must be met; it’s a perfect match between background and achievements.]
Someone else noticed a blind spot.
[Wait a minute, that guy to the right of Shang Lu is so handsome, and he looks familiar too.]
[Take a closer look at the second picture! That’s Chi Yan!]
[The domineering CEO from the novel suddenly has a face, and there are two of them!]
In high school, Chi Yan indeed looks arrogant, with an impatient expression on his face as he gazes at the camera. It’s as if someone held a knife to his neck and forced him to take the graduation photo.
What’s shocking is that he even has a pink hair tie around his wrist.
Someone jokingly remarks:
[A pink hair tie? Young Master Chi seems to have a girly side.]
[We can’t be sure if Shang Lu and Jiang Yi are dating, but Chi Yan definitely has a girlfriend!]
Although netizens are surprised, they quickly discover several other slightly famous wealthy second-generation individuals in this class, marveling at the hidden talents in this group.
But most of the attention is still focused on Shang Lu and Jiang Yi. They are the protagonists of this matter. Many netizens hurriedly entered the live broadcast room to watch the ‘reunion of broken couple’ scene.
One of the parties involved, Shang Lu, thought, “This adhesive plaster1 is really hard to get rid of.“
Realizing that Jiang Yi wanted to play the role of a pursuer in a cheesy drama, and seeing the man in front of her starting to establish a deep affectionate persona for himself, Shang Lu couldn’t help but find it funny.
She didn’t answer Jiang Yi but looked at a young girl who had just exclaimed ‘how handsome’ because of Jiang Yi’s actions and asked, “Little Sister, have you ever been publicly confessed to by a boy in college with heart-shaped candles arranged downstairs in the dormitory? This morally coercive approach is really terrible. The guy thinks he’s being romantic, while the onlookers enjoy the spectacle, but the girl involved is often the most embarrassed.”
The young girl, who had been covering her face, had a complex expression upon hearing Shang Lu’s example.
She suddenly felt a strong sense of identification and began to curl her toes.
[One second, it’s a domineering idol drama. The next second, it’s a tacky short video.]
[I suddenly feel that something is off after Shang Lu gave that example.]
[It’s only because Jiang Yi is rich and good-looking that he briefly blinded us (lighting a cigarette.jpg).]
“Shang Lu.” Jiang Yi seemed to be a little impatient and finally stopped pretending to be affectionate by calling her name.
“I’m not deaf,” Shang Lu replied, then looked at Jiang Yi and said, “You want to talk, right? Sure, let’s talk.”
Seeing Shang Lu’s cooperation, Jiang Yi’s expression softened a bit and said, “I’ve made a reservation at your favorite restaurant. We can eat and chat.”
“No need,” Shang Lu seemed puzzled by Jiang Yi’s decision and asked, “There are so many media friends watching. Let’s talk here. I’m sure everyone would like to hear, right?”
As soon as Shang Lu spoke, everyone present, except for the media Jiang Yi had invited, immediately echoed, “Yes, President Jiang! Let’s talk here!”
With such high attention and popularity, they were unwilling to just let Shang Lu and Jiang Yi leave like that.
Jiang Yi never expected that Shang Lu would be so stubborn. After a slight change in his facial expression, he thought about the current situation and realized he had no other choice.
So Jiang Yi lowered his gaze and looked at Shang Lu. The striking face before him made him inexplicably think of Ning Lin’s tearful face.
He had promised Ning Lin…
Suppressing the disgust in his heart and the anger of being watched by so many people, Jiang Yi lowered his posture and sincerely apologized, saying, “I’m sorry. I know that over these years, there have been many times when I overlooked your feelings and made you sad more than once. I didn’t do well in many aspects, but you’ve always been in my heart. If you can give me another chance, I will cherish it.”
A gasp resounded through the scene.
The live broadcast room was also shocked.
[We were just guessing casually, but it turned out to be true.]
[I thought it was just some marketing gimmick, but I didn’t expect to see a live version of the pursuit of love.]
[Isn’t this equivalent to a confession?]
[Jiang Yi said he always had feelings for Shang Lu, so does that mean the LinJiang CP is fake?]
[How is that possible? Ning Lin has said that she is Jiang Yi’s girlfriend. They should have been together, and now they broke up?]
[The entertainment industry is really chaotic!]
Jiang Yi’s pretentious words were so fake that even Shang Lu wasn’t angry anymore.
She nodded with interest to show that she understood, observed Jiang Yi’s hypocritical affection on his face for a while, and then asked directly, “What about Ning Lin? Did you guys break up?”
No one expected that Shang Lu would bring up Ning Lin here. It’s worth noting that celebrities often deliberately avoid discussing their ‘rivals’ in such situations. However, Shang Lu’s question happened to be what journalists and netizens were most eager to know.
Mentioning Ning Lin’s name, Jiang Yi’s expression clearly had a moment of unnaturalness. However, since he wanted to maintain this affectionate image, he had naturally prepared his words in advance and said, “We were never really together. It was her misunderstanding.”
Everyone : “!!!”
[What the hell? So he’s saying he and Ning Lin were never together, and it was all Ning Lin’s unilateral declaration of sovereignty?]
[That makes sense. Jiang Yi’s mother made it clear that the Jiang family only recognizes Shang Lu as their daughter-in-law.]
[No wonder every time it’s Ning Lin taking the initiative to mention the rose manor, girlfriend, and all that. Come to think of it, Jiang Yi indeed never directly responded or acknowledged it.]
Some people believed it, while others didn’t.
[Why do I feel like this is a bit far-fetched? It’s been so long, and if there was no truth to it, why did Ning Lin was never refuted, resulting in her reputation get completely ruined? Now he comes out and says it never happened?]
[Stepping back ten thousand steps, even if they didn’t end up together, at the very least, there was some ambiguity between them. Who would believe it was purely innocent?]
[So how many twists and turns does this gossip need to take? (stupefied.jpg)]
