Looking at it, Zhou Jianchen almost lashed out. The photo of him sitting and looking attentively at Liang Yin in the social event that day was even turned out as proof, how long ago was this?

Sister Shao’s call came through just when he was about to post on Weibo.

Seeing the incoming caller’s name, Zhou Jianchen had a moment of hesitation before he finally answered, “Hello?”

“Still awake?” Sister Shao’s tone was unprecedentedly calm.

“En.” Zhou Jianchen responded.

“Tell me, what’s going on.” On the other side, came the cigarette lighter sound of Sister Shao lighting a cigarette.

As a matter of fact, she got really angry when she was first awoken by the call but she calmed down after she learned what had happened.

“There’s nothing to say.” Feeling a little impatient, Zhou Jianchen didn’t want to mention it at all.

Shrewd as she is, how can she not know what is really going on.

Sister Shao seemed to get the answer she wanted, “Then it was really just a chance encounter …” Seeing no response from Zhou Jianchen, she said, “You don’t have to respond. It’s not good for everyone to riposte Weibo in the middle of the night. It will be okay once I make a statement tomorrow morning.”

After a pause, she added, “If you really want to post something, just wait till tomorrow morning.”

Saying nothing, Zhou Jianchen’s eyes were a little cold.

Sister Shao did not say more, “Okay, it’s late. Go to bed early if you have nothing to do. I will take care of these things.” There was a momentary silence after she said that. Seeing that Zhou Jianchen had no objection, she took a deep puff of the cigarette and hung up the phone again.

This wasn’t like her before.

Sister Shao knows Zhou Jianchen very well. At first, she didn’t understand why Zhou Jianchen was so abnormal when he was at the airport during the day. It was also futile asking Ah Zhao and Ah Xian. But when she saw Liang Yin’s news later, she understood everything.

It’s just that she didn’t call immediately, because she knew it was useless no matter how many calls she made before the matter was cleared up.

How can she not know things about Zhou Jianchen since she has taken charge of him for so many years. To him, Liang Yin is different. He has never liked anyone in these many years. Being remotely aloof and arrogant, that year he had proclaimed his liking for Liang Yin without the slightest consideration for the consequences in front of that many media. Yet, it was a tragic rejection.

She did a good publicity job with minimal impact that year. Zhou Jianchen still appeared wantonly unrestrained in front of others, but in private, no one knew how despondent he had been. He had not mentioned Liang Yin’s name again these years, but she knew, Liang Yin is always an untouchable territory in his heart.

Just like this time at the airport. Although many years have passed, Zhou Jianchen’s sense of propriety still messed up for her.

She believed they had really met by chance and then separated in a hurry, otherwise he wouldn’t be in such a bad mood.

She could scold right in his face about Xu Lili, but she can only be very careful with matters of Liang Yin.

So she called now, just to confirm his attitude ….

**********

Sister Shao started to get busy while Zhou Jianchen was sitting quietly on the sofa.

This was indeed not the time for him to post on Weibo and he didn’t need to handle this personally. All these are nonexistent so a downplay clarification in the morning is enough. Sister Shao is familiar with these and everything can be done very well.

Except, his heart is still out of sorts ah!

He was dying for everyone to know when he proclaimed it publicly five years ago, but now they are trying utmostly to disclaim and to reduce the major issues to minor and minor to nothing …

The phone screen lit up and the photo of him looking attentively at her was still there. He was somewhat lost in thought looking at it. In fact, he has not seen this photo for a long time. Rong Xin once used to tease him, but after knowing Liang Yin had married into a rich family, she never mentioned it again and this photo was deleted from the album too.

His eyes were indeed gentle in the photo, but in his eyes, Liang Yin, who was focusing on the stage, was more heartening.

His heartstrings were strummed again. Zhou Jianchen didn’t want to look at it any further, so he turned his cellphone off, cast it aside and got upstairs.

However, the matter did not end there.

At 5.30 a.m, Xu Lili, who has disappeared for three days, finally reappeared and posted on Weibo with only this word.

“Loved.”

One hour later, this Weibo was noticed; two hours later, it scaled the hot search.

Someone had previously doubted; if Zhou Jianchen is really dating Liang Yin, then why would Xu Lili suddenly post such a Weibo.

Some even speculated that Xu Lili might have really dated Zhou Jianchen, but it was not made public. The reason why she suddenly exposed it was because she was momentarily angry finding out that Zhou Jianchen had gone abroad to look for Film Empress Liang — after all, Xu Lili has disappeared after posting on Weibo.

This kind of remark did not receive attention at that time. It was after all too absurd and was even once reproached by fans, but with Xu Lili’s Weibo now, it seemed to have confirmed it.

Zhou Jianchen had dated Xu Lili, that was why Xu Lili had photos of them holding hands;

Zhou Jianchen went abroad to look for Liang Yin, so Xu Lili was angry and posted on Weibo.

Zhou Jianchen and Liang Yin were accidentally photographed in the same airport, which led to a heated debate, so Xu Lili once again posted the word ‘Loved’ to show her broken love out of sadness …

Then the question was, when did Film Empress Liang and Zhou Jianchen get together? Is there really an involvement of a third-party? If Xu Lili had long broken up with Zhou Jianchen, she should not have caused such a big fuss now …

For a while, ‘Zhou Jianchen’s Love Triangle’ and ‘Liang Yin’s Involvement’ were pushed to the forefront….

**********

Zhou Jianchen was woken up by Ah Zhao. He frowned unsightly looking at his assistant at the door.

“What is it?” He has a serious irritable morning mood, not mentioning he had only fallen asleep at four in the morning. At this time, his hair was unkempt while the night robe was loosely and messily draped over his body.

Ah Zhao looked a little nervous, “Brother Chen, something happened. Xu Lili posted another Weibo and it’s trending online now … “. Saying that, he handed over the cellphone in his hand.

The interface of Xu Lili’s Weibo was displayed on the phone. Zhou Jianchen’s face immediately changed as he looked at it.

Although Xu Lili only posted one word, how could he not know what kind of impact this would bring. Sure enough, looking through the comment ‘Zhou Jianchen confirmed to have dated Xu Lili’ was frenziedly arousing popular interest and there was even a ‘Liang Yin as third party involvement’ forum at the bottom…

“She doesn’t want to live anymore!”

“There were more hot trends before. Sister Shao hastily got people to take it down when she knew it. She also had people contacting Xu Lili but Xu Lili disappeared again after posting on Weibo. Her cellphone was switched off and the personal message on her Weibo was in the unread status … “

Walking downstairs, Zhou Jianchen’s face was livid while Ah Zhao followed and said, “Sister Shao kept calling you once she found out but your phone was unreachable, so she let me hurry over … “. Although Zhou Jianchen gave him two days off yesterday, as an assistant, he naturally has to be available at any time.

Zhou Jianchen had already picked up the cellphone he threw on the sofa last night. One glance, there were indeed countless incoming calls. His WeChat was almost in a state of explosion. He has many friends in the entertainment circle and many will query whenever he is in the news.

It was quickly connected once he dialed Sister Shao’s number.

“The statement has not been sent out yet?” Zhou Jianchen asked directly.

“Not yet.” Sister Shao was obviously busy and only answered after she had briefed someone else. Last night she had prepared to issue the statement at eight this morning, which was not too early to make others think it was imperative nor was it too late that all the negative impact could be suppressed at the beginning of the day.

“No need to issue it. I’ll do it myself.” Zhou Jianchen hung up immediately after he said that.

After checking the time, he turned to ask Ah Zhao, who was standing by the side, “Is there a press conference for [Qing Cheng Jue] this morning, at what time?”

Pondering about it, Ah Zhao immediately replied, “Nine o’clock.”

“Get my clothes. We will go to the press conference site.” Zhou Jianchen said and went straight to the bathroom.

[Qing Cheng Jue], was a collaborated animation film produced by Zhou Jianchen. He hasn’t been filming for some time but he still accepted scripts and also invested in a few movies, one of which was a big hit last year. [Qing Cheng Jue] was also amongst those that was not publicized or known to anyone.
