Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Despite their curiosity, no one dared to run directly in front of Sheng Jian to snap a face-to-face photo.

Sitting at the forefront, a side profile photo of Rong Qi and Sheng Jian was taken and rapidly circulated, with articles instantaneously emerging.

[Extra! A Mysterious Woman Appears Beside the King of Rough Jadeite After Twenty Years!]

[The King of Rough Jadeite Suspected to Have Brought an Illegitimate Daughter to the Auction]

[Mysterious Woman Strikingly Similar to Chu Jing, the Top Socialite of the Capital Twenty Years Ago!]

[Is the Woman Beside the King of Rough Jadeite His Daughter or a Replacement?]

One speculative news headline after another quickly climbed to the top of the major news platforms.

The platforms also became abuzz with discussion, even digging up past dirt about Sheng Jian and Chu Jing, the once top socialite of the capital. Weibo and other social platforms were practically crashing under the traffic.

[Damn! What happened while I was asleep? The King of Rough Jadeite, worth hundreds of billions, has a daughter? I’m totally shocked.]

[I think she’s his daughter, too. Sheng Jian has been celibate for twenty years for Ms. Chu. It’s impossible for him to look for a replacement. Haven’t there been women who tried to become Ms. Chu’s replacement before? And how did they end up? Ruined by Sheng Jian and exiled from the capital.]

[Yeah, I was shipping them back then. But I heard they didn’t end up together? So how did this daughter come about?]

[Could be a secret marriage. Tycoons love those, right?]

[Sounds plausible.]

Netizens compared the photos of Rong Qi and Chu Jing, and the more they looked, the more convinced they became. Based on the age difference, they were pretty sure Rong Qi was indeed Sheng Jian’s daughter.

However, someone found clues soon enough even with just a side profile.

[Wait, why does this girl look so familiar? I feel like I’ve seen her somewhere.]

After all, it’s the love life of the King of Rough Jadeite, and the platforms were all too eager to push the story.

[Isn’t she the freshman representative of our university, Rong Qi? Look, this is her photo.]

[Damn, this really is Rong Qi of Class 7! But isn’t she the daughter of the Rong family? How did she become the daughter of the King of Rough Jadeite?]

[I don’t know. It feels like a massive bombshell. I’m just here to grab a spot and wait.]

Seeing the fuss, the students of Class 7 also noticed. But when it comes to personal matters like this, they weren’t sure whether to get involved. It wouldn’t be good if they ended up making things worse.

In the end, Han Ning took the initiative to post a message in the small group, [I’ll suppress the comments mentioning Rong Qi first. As for what happens next, let’s wait for her to handle it.]

[Okay.]

Quickly, Han Ning took action. He directly set “Rong Qi” as a banned word in these trending searches. Any comment with her full name could not be posted. However, just as he finished, he saw those posts suddenly disappear as if they were never there.

If it weren’t for someone in the know, Han Ning might have mistaken it for a system crash. But he knew it was Ding Ding taking action.

On the other side, Rong Qi was still watching Sheng Jian buying stones when she felt the phone in her pocket vibrate. The special vibration pattern made her frown. She pulled out her phone and saw a message from Ding Ding forwarding her a post.

[Do you want public relations or should we just take them down?]

Rong Qi clicked to open it and looked at the photos of herself and Sheng Jian, her mouth twitching slightly.

‘The photos were already out, how could public relations handle it?’ Rong Qi thought.

Rong Qi stood up, ready to head backstage.

Sheng Jian noticed Rong Qi’s movement and turned to ask, “What’s up?”

“Going to do some reverse hacking for myself,” Rong Qi said.

Sheng Jian’s lips curved into a smile as he saw her departing figure..
