Chapter 470: Chapter 470: Enjoy the Moment

The group of people were stunned for a moment and immediately looked at their phones.

Sure enough, the two announced their relationship publicly and even tagged each other.

"So quick with the moves, huh." Qiao Rui said with a smile that wasn’t a smile, "Looks like they had a plan in advance. The official announcement was swift, and now Weibo is going to crash."

"Yes, looking like this, the trending topic won’t go down for a while. It’s going to be lively for some time." Gai Yin said.

Qiao Rui laughed, this was exactly the outcome she wanted.

If it wasn’t lively, how else to push down her and the Lin Family’s matters.

She didn’t want to be so high-profile, nor did she want to be the target of everyone’s criticism.

"Is it fake?" He Zheng said, "Why do I feel Liang Jinqian and Su Mei are just in a relationship of mutual benefit, and any romance is nonsense."

"Su Mei has a boyfriend." Si Ran, who had been silent, spoke up.

Everyone looked towards Si Ran.

Si Ran wasn’t one to talk much; saying this naturally had her reason.

Qiao Rui was also a bit curious.

He Zheng slightly furrowed his brows and said, "How do you know Su Mei has a boyfriend?"

Si Ran paused briefly and said, "Because Su Mei’s boyfriend is my cousin."

"Ah?" He Zheng exclaimed in surprise, not expecting it at all, "Si Ran, you actually have a connection with big star Su Mei? You’re something, you’ve never let that slip all these years."

This news was indeed unexpected, and Qiao Rui hadn’t thought Su Mei’s boyfriend was Si Ran’s cousin.

"You never asked." Si Ran said calmly.

He Zheng blinked and said, "Yes, though that’s the truth, Si Ran, won’t your cousin be heartbroken?"

Si Ran glanced at him and said softly, "Maybe it’s a relief for him."

Everyone was stunned again.

Si Ran had come to terms with it, but her cousin might not be so clear-minded.

"Su Mei cheating is something I see as particularly beneficial for my cousin. Since the two are drifting apart, why stay bound? This emancipation fulfills both parties." Si Ran was very rational.

Qiao Rui nodded and said, "But Si Ran, does your cousin think so too?"

Qiao Rui’s words touched Si Ran’s heart, and she suddenly didn’t know how to answer.

Yes, her cousin probably wouldn’t really understand.

He and Su Mei grew up together as childhood sweethearts, with deep feelings that others could not comprehend.

Su Mei, being in the entertainment circle, faced too many temptations, and of course, was mostly helpless.

Si Ran gave a bitter smile, looking up at Qiao Rui, and said, "Yes, my cousin can’t figure it out. He must go through a period of pain."

Qiao Rui nodded slightly. For a man, such matters involved issues of dignity and face.

She also couldn’t help but glance at Gai Yin, who was equally surprised.

"Regardless." Si Ran continued, "This matter is settled now, and it’s much better than if it had happened after marriage."

He Zheng was momentarily taken aback, admiring Si Ran’s rationality. "You know Su Mei too?"

Si Ran nodded. Of course she knew her; they were childhood sweethearts.

But somehow, Su Mei changed, and the two of them drifted apart.

They were no longer on the same path, and contact became infrequent.

Si Ran had long anticipated this day, just hadn’t thought it would come so quickly, and in such a high-profile way.

She just didn’t know if her cousin would expose Su Mei.

"So Secretary Si, is your cousin still Su Mei’s boyfriend now?" Gai Yin still asked this question.

Si Ran nodded. "When he called me the day before yesterday, he still invited me to have dinner with them on the weekend; now, I don’t know."

"This is simply a great humiliation." He Zheng immediately became serious. "Your cousin is too unfortunate."

Si Ran said nothing.

Everyone was silent too.

Each person chose to take out their phone to check Weibo, and the official announcement quickly shot to the top.

This immediately sparked a wave of backlash, with comments and messages surging.

Some people left messages, refuting that they were making the announcement because the video was leaked.

This was already the predicted outcome by industry insiders.

If it weren’t for that video, those two dialogues, Liang Jinqian and Su Mei would never have announced being in a relationship.

The two would still stop at nothing for their interests.

Of course, there were also those who believed in their relationship and wished them well together.

Anyway, online people were saying all sorts of things.

Pei Liyan felt Qiao Rui wasn’t angry but still felt a bit unsettled.

He glanced at He Zheng, eyes full of blame, for bringing up knowing Liang Jinqian before.

He Zheng also felt wronged, as he’d totally forgotten about it.

Pei Liyan shot him another glare.

He Zheng felt even more unjustly accused.

He hadn’t done it on purpose, so why was he being glared at like this?

At this moment, Gai Yin spoke up, "They made the announcement, and if there’s no next move, they’ll whitewash it."

"Yeah." Si Ran also spoke, "They’re used to cleaning up their mess this way."

"In that case, won’t your cousin feel even more stifled?" He Zheng suddenly worried, "Su Mei, this woman isn’t being fair, publicly cuckolding her boyfriend for her career."

Si Ran didn’t speak, matters between men and women are just like that.

True love, in the face of interest, what does it count for?

When necessary, some people will sacrifice their partner.

But how many truly unchangeable couples are there?

Si Ran gave a bitter smile, some things should not be forced too much.

That was always how she advised herself.

It’s because she knew that those who could uphold love were so few, so better to have none than accept something flawed.

Facing He Zheng, she was even more hesitant, because she always felt He Zheng was a playboy.

He was just playing around.

Seeing Si Ran’s expression, He Zheng suddenly realized Si Ran was overthinking, this girl had strong empathy, she must have been putting herself into these situations.

He half-squinted his eyes and said, "The matter with Su Mei and your cousin is an exception, not typical at all. So don’t assume they are representative, not all men and women are so fickle."

Hearing this, Si Ran was stunned. She hadn’t expected He Zheng to see through what she was thinking.

Qiao Rui naturally noticed too. She said, "Yes, Si Ran, it’s all up to people."

Si Ran was stunned again, looking up at Qiao Rui.

Qiao Rui smiled and said, "All we can do is control ourselves; as for what others do, we can’t interfere."

"Right, right, sister-in-law is right." He Zheng nodded repeatedly.

Qiao Rui smiled and said, "So, enjoy the moment."

Pei Liyan curled a corner of his lips. "What do you mean enjoy the moment? Haven’t you thought about the future?"

Qiao Rui looked at him, "That’s not even a question of thinking or not thinking."

"Then what do you think it is?" Pei Liyan followed up, not backing down.

"I’ve tried, have no shame in my efforts, whatever the result, I can accept it." Qiao Rui said, "Of course, generally the results after my efforts can relatively please me, so I believe, just do good deeds and don’t ask about the future."

Pei Liyan was left speechless by her words, looking at Qiao Rui, he sighed helplessly.
