Ruan ngxi and Shen Shuci spent three or four hours shopping and then settled down to rest at a café. Ruan ngxi even took photos of Shen Shuci’s shopping haul to show Tang Wan.
Tang Wan couldn’t help but ask, "[Which one of you is actually accompanying whom while shopping?]"
Ruan ngxi had no idea what to wear. Logically, attending her godson’s full month celebration required festive attire in bright colors, but she worried that on her first eting with Qi Zeyan’s parents, it might not appear dignified enough.
"Auntie, what did you wear when you first t your in-laws? How did you prepare?" Ruan ngxi wanted to get so experience-based advice.
"The first ti eting my in-laws?" Shen Shuci recalled, "I think it was at the police station."
The first ti Huo Qinqi’s parents t her, they witnessed her arguing and even getting into a fight.
"..."
Ruan ngxi was speechless; both Shen Shuci and Huo Ye were indeed tough people, even their way of eting the parents was so uniquely strange, offering no reference value.
"When are you and Qi Zeyan planning to get married?" Shen Shuci suddenly asked.
"Who said we’re getting married?" Ruan ngxi said, amused.
"Yesterday, I talked to Qinqi, and he suddenly asked; there’s news online that his parents are buying a house, seemingly preparing for a wedding."
Qi Zeyan’s romance was exposed and beca widely discussed. He had also confessed to pursuing Ruan ngxi.
He once publicly declared his wish for dia journalists to give them so space. Journalists certainly wouldn’t dare to closely monitor, yet wouldn’t let go of his news easily either.
The return of Qi’s parents to Beijing wasn’t first known by gossip reporters, but rather by financial news reporters.
In the business circle, recent Beijing trends were abundant. The Guandong Si Family returned, Qi’s couple also ca back, and although the old CEO of Qi Company hadn’t fully stepped down, Qi Zeyan held real power, but the main power still remained with his father.
These big shots returned to Beijing consecutively, no one could predict what changes they’d bring to Beijing.
Compared to gossip-loving spectators, business insiders were more focused on the movents of the Qi Family.
So the sa day news exposed the incident of the Qi parents house hunting.
The entire Beijing circle seed to believe that the Qi Family was preparing for a celebration, though heaven knows, Qi Zeyan was still an as-yet unacknowledged bachelor.
Ruan ngxi hadn’t expected things to spread so quickly, to the extent even people like Shen Shuci and Huo Qinqi who didn’t love gossip were aware.
"No, we haven’t reached that point," Ruan ngxi laughed.
"Then with him... " Shen Shuci was about to speak, but her phone vibrated, "I’ll take a call."
"No problem, go ahead."
The call was from Huo Qinqi, he would call Shen Shuci as long as he had ti.
Outsiders said Huo Qinqi wasn’t a gentle person, plus, given his special work nature, he was often away from ho. People worried Shen Shuci wouldn’t live well with him, but who knew, Huo Ye had his own unique gentleness.
He might not sweet-talk or be good at expressing himself, yet he’d accompany Shen Shuci in his own special way.
Besides, who set the rule that there was only one kind of happiness in this world?
...
Ruan ngxi sat opposite Shen Shuci, watching her occasionally smile, feeling so envy in her heart.
At this mont, her own phone vibrated, it was a ssage from the work group in the club.
[Who sent this stuff, it’s too funny. I’ve never seen soone use such low-level ans to slander others.]
[I saw it, the photos look fake, definitely photoshopped.]
[@Ruan Assistant, Sister Ruan, you’ve been targeted again.]
[These marketing accounts nowadays are ridiculous for heating themselves up, daring to post obviously fake photos like this.]
...
Ruan ngxi clicked on the group ssage, at the top was a link, she clicked to open it.
Title: [Rumored to Marry into a Wealthy Family, Soone’s Dark History]
The nas weren’t directly ntioned, even the Qi Family was hinted at with letters, yet anyone could tell the "about to marry into wealth" person was her.
Ruan ngxi’s fingers swiped across the phone screen, the text above mixed truth with falsehood, but there were many photos underneath, even her high school graduation photo.
All photos were enlarged and circled.
The person in the photo was overweight, hardly resembling her current self.
The comnts below were mostly unfriendly.
"Must have had plastic surgery and liposuction, is this really the sa person?"
"The features look alike, you can compare her eyebrows and eyes, I think they’re very similar, the photo is probably true, how did she transform into what she is now?"
"It’s normal, so celebrities used to be fat, and they looked great after slimming down. So fat people are potential stocks."
"It also says here, her dad once went to school to warn classmates, scaring a boy to tears, this family is too overbearing."
"From her dad’s attitude towards the dia previously you could tell; must be a local tyrant. Otherwise, who could be so fierce?"
...
Shen Shuci hung up the phone and saw her staring at her phone blankly, intentionally patting her shoulder, "What’s up?"
"Huh?" Ruan ngxi seed to snap back to reality.
"I’m talking to you, what are you daydreaming about?"
"Nothing," Ruan ngxi put away her phone, but her expression wasn’t pleasant.
The people in the work group were still discussing the photos, but Ruan ngxi had long lost the interest to shop.
Because she knew clearly in her heart...
Those photos were real.
She couldn’t deny her past; those were all part of her. She just didn’t know, if such photos reached the Qi Family, and Qi Zeyan or his parents saw them, what their thoughts would be.
The photos were initially spread only within a small scope by so marketing accounts, but little did she know, just one night passed, and a topic:
#Old Photos of Qi’s Girlfriend# was pushed to the hot search list.
The matter completely spread within the circle.
Almost everyone viewed it with a mindset of watching a show, discussing her or waiting to see the Qi Family’s embarrassnt.
When the incident first fernted, so questioned the authenticity of the photos, but the traces of Ruan ngxi’s life at school couldn’t be erased.
With a slight investigation, clues could be naturally found.
Moreover, the graduation photo contained class information and the graduation year, once they found her classmates, it would be clear whether the photo was fake.
Previously when Ruan ngxi was slandered, the Ruan Family promptly sought legal counsel and reported to the police. However, with this matter’s developnt, the Ruan Family remained silent, indirectly proving the photos’ authenticity.
In no ti, the whole internet said Qi Zeyan was deceived, so even suggested Ruan ngxi should publish a weight loss and surgery guide.
Ruan ngxi’s old photos temporarily beca the target of public criticism, making it seem like she deliberately deceived Qi Zeyan.
The entire Beijing circle appeared to be waiting to see her or the Qi Family’s joke, as if Qi Zeyan being with her was purely being a fool, just a sucker.
