Out of control and sinking

Chapter 419 One Hundred Million?
But at this moment, for some reason, Bo Ye suddenly didn't want to clarify anymore.

As her thoughts drifted, Jiang Ruan's voice reached her ears: "Bo Ye, Bo Ye, are you listening to me?"

Jiang Ruan held her phone, but there was no response from the other end, and her heart tightened.

“I’m listening,” Bo Ye’s calm voice rang out.

Jiang Ruan breathed a sigh of relief: "You scared me! You suddenly went silent."

Jiang Ruan asked him with a smile, her tone even carrying a hint of shrewdness, "How was my method? Don't worry, I've seen this kind of thing many times. Those paparazzi just want money. Once the money's there, they'll naturally take down the trending topics..."

Before Jiang Ruan could finish speaking, Bo Ye suddenly called her name: "Jiang Ruan".

Jiang Ruan paused, her words abruptly stopping: "Yes, I'm here."

"what happened?"

After a second of silence, Bo Ye's deep voice rang out: "The trending topic will not be removed."

When those five words reached her ears, Jiang Ruan was completely stunned: "Huh?"

She even wondered if there was something wrong with her ears.

Otherwise, why would we hear Bo Ye say something like "I won't remove the trending topics"?
"You... Bo Ye, what did you say?"

Jiang Ruan couldn't help but ask again.

“I said, we’re not taking the trending topics off the charts.” Bo Ye said each word clearly and firmly: “This matter is settled. Tell Sister Qin not to give those paparazzi a single penny.”

Before Jiang Ruan could react, Bo Ye continued, "I have something to do here, so I'll hang up now."

Immediately afterwards, the call was disconnected.

A beeping sound came from my ear.

Holding her phone, Jiang Ruan sat in front of her dressing table, stunned. Looking at her bewildered face, she couldn't help but think of a popular meme that had recently gone viral online.

It was a cat lost in thought. She even felt like she was that cat right now.

Jiang Ruan's mind went blank.

What did Bo Ye mean by that? Does he mean he's not removing the trending topic?
Didn't he not want to make it public?
If the trending topic isn't removed, this matter will only escalate, and the rumors about the two of them will only increase.

Doesn't Bo Ye care?

Blinking, Jiang Ruan suddenly realized something.

Her dark eyes sparkled with a dazzling light, almost blindingly so. Jiang Ruan couldn't suppress her smile, but as she smiled, her eyes started to sting.

There were faint tears glistening in her eyes.

Jiang Ruan had been waiting for this day for a long time.

Although he didn't say anything, only that he wouldn't remove the trending topic, Jiang Ruan understood everything.

When Sister Qin received Jiang Ruan's call, she was furious. She immediately launched into a tirade.

However, it wasn't a criticism of Jiang Ruan, but rather a criticism of the paparazzi.

"Damn these sons of bitches, they really think they're big shots. Just because they have a photo doesn't mean they're my ancestors. They're so arrogant in front of me, and they even dare to ask for a hundred million. They must be out of their minds."

Sister Qin was furious.

Jiang Ruan had never seen Sister Qin so angry before, and she was also taken aback. She patiently coaxed her, "Don't be angry. It's not worth arguing with someone like that."

"Honey, I couldn't hold back and just cursed them out. I've completely broken ties with them. It's probably hopeless for us to resolve this easily. They're just shameless. They're a bunch of scoundrels. I've never seen such outrageous demands in all my years in the business. They want a hundred million. How are they going to rob us?"

Jiang Ruan was shocked to hear that it would cost 100 million.

The incessant chatter in my ear continued: "Besides, this isn't just your problem. I'll contact the Bo family right now. Bo Ye holds a high position and is definitely well-connected in the industry. Moreover, he's not someone to be trifled with. He must have some way to deal with this kind of scoundrel!"
