Beijing Colors Lingering

Ding Jiayi and Yu Qing both looked up at He Xiaoxiao after hearing her words, their faces full of confusion.

Shen Jinsui also stopped what she was doing and looked at He Xiaoxiao. She saw that He Xiaoxiao looked slightly angry and was tapping her phone screen hard with her fingers, probably typing.

"What happened?" Shen Jinsui couldn't help but ask her.

Ding Jiayi also asked, "Xiaoxiao, what's wrong?"

Yu Qing glanced at her phone, "Xiaoxiao?"

He Xiaoxiao glanced at Shen Jinsui, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly said, "You guys should check the trending topics on Weibo first."

As soon as they finished speaking, Ding Jiayi and Yu Qing picked up their phones and went to Weibo to check the trending topics.

Then, Shen Jinsui picked up her phone from the table, unlocked it, and went to Weibo.

She immediately saw many new private messages and comments, but she didn't open them to view them. Instead, she clicked on the trending topics list.

The top trending topics are—

Zhou Cheng's marriage to two powerful families

Secrets of the Rich

Rich Family Plastic Couple

Artist Nightingale is suspected of interfering in the relationship between a business tycoon and a wealthy heiress.

Nightingale, mistress

Shen Jinsui lowered her eyes and stared at these trending search titles, her delicate eyebrows furrowing slightly.

She then clicked on the first trending topic and saw a long article posted by a well-known gossip blogger.

A few minutes later, Shen Jinsui quickly finished browsing the article.

The content roughly states that someone anonymously submitted a post to the blogger, claiming that Zhou Yancong had an ambiguous relationship with a female employee of Nebula Animation Company, and that during a departmental dinner, Zhou Yancong took this female employee away in front of everyone.

The whistleblower emphasized that the two were behaving very intimately, suggesting a relationship between a sugar daddy and his lover.

At the birthday banquet on Saturday, the Cheng family refused entry to all media, so only the guests present knew that an engagement ceremony between Shen Jinsui and Zhou Yancong was held afterward.

This morning, the Zhou and Cheng families officially announced their marriage alliance, and the outside world learned that Zhou Yancong had already gotten engaged to the Cheng family's daughter on Saturday.

As the big boss of Huaheng Group and the head of the Zhou family, Zhou Yancong occasionally appears in financial news and magazines.

Zhou Yancong not only has a distinguished family background, but also excellent looks and figure, making her a natural subject of gossip and discussion.

Moreover, this incident also involves another top-tier wealthy family, the Cheng family, which has further piqued everyone's curiosity.

Therefore, shortly after this article was published, it attracted a large number of netizens to come and discuss it.

Not long after, a comment caught the attention of onlookers—

I work at Nebula Animation Company. During a department dinner, the big boss, Zhou Yancong, suddenly appeared in the private room and took one of my female colleagues away. Their relationship was obviously unusual.

However, my female colleague also seems to be from a wealthy family, but her surname isn't Cheng! If she's really being kept by a big boss, then she's definitely a fake rich kid.

Soon, this comment was liked so much that it became the top-rated comment.

Subsequently, another comment was liked by netizens and rose to the top three most popular comments.

I also work at Nebula Animation Company, and I guarantee with my integrity that what the top-rated comment said is absolutely true, because I was there that day!

At the time, an executive confessed his feelings to my female colleague, but the big boss seemed to appear out of nowhere in the private room, interrupting the executive's confession and taking my female colleague away.

My female colleague was very beautiful, and the big boss was super handsome. I was secretly shipping them as a couple back then, never imagining they were actually a sugar daddy and his lover.

Immediately afterwards, a group of netizens left replies under these two comments—

[Holy crap, after hearing your descriptions, I'm starting to find the story of the big boss and his female colleague kind of cheesy.]

[Practicing everything will only harm you; even the big shots are engaged to someone else!]

[A rich heiress working at Nebula Animation Company? That's definitely a lie!]

She's probably being kept by a sugar daddy, using the money he gives her to present herself as a wealthy and beautiful woman.

[Isn't a marriage between wealthy families simply a binding of interests between two families? The tycoon and his fiancée probably have no feelings for each other; they might each be having their own affairs. If that's the case, it's not surprising that the man has a mistress, right?]

Yes, there's hardly any true love in arranged marriages among the wealthy; it's all driven by self-interest.

[In short: Arranged marriages in wealthy families are driven by self-interest, not love!]

[Perhaps the big boss and his female colleague are truly in love, and he only agreed to the engagement with the Cheng family's daughter because his family opposed their relationship.]

[Yes, yes, it's possible that the big boss's family used a female colleague to threaten him, which is why he agreed to the marriage alliance.]

[Sobbing, their story is so heartbreaking.]

[A quote suddenly came to mind that perfectly describes the love story between the big boss and his female colleague: "The family he was so proud of in his youth became a shackle in his pursuit of love and freedom in adulthood."]

Here's a pen for you. Hurry up and write a fanfiction romance novel.

If that's the case, then the female colleague is the most pitiful. Not only does she lose her love, but she also has to be ridiculed by our crickets.

Isn't that Cheng family's daughter pitiful? Her fiancé has another woman in his heart...

This world is like a giant tomato novel, and we are merely NPCs playing the roles of bystanders.

【Hahaha. 】

[I'm telling you guys, you should really read fewer novels these days, don't go overboard... A big shot like Zhou Yancong being threatened by his family?]

[Yeah, the relationship between the big boss and his female colleague is definitely just purely financial.]

[Zhou Yanzong absolutely accepted the arranged marriage willingly; a man like him couldn't possibly be driven by love.]

So who exactly is this female colleague?

Haven't the all-knowing netizens found out yet?

[Someone has already guessed who it is!]

【who is it? 】

[Artist Nightingale! Go search her profile; she currently works at Nebula Animation.]

I've been following this artist for a long time. She studied abroad and occasionally posts photos of her daily life; she must be a genuine "rich, beautiful, and successful" woman.

If she really is a rich, beautiful, and successful woman, then it's likely to be a melodramatic love triangle story.

[Is she one of those idealized, unattainable ideal women who have gone abroad? And Zhou Yancong is a CEO who can't afford a plane ticket? After she returns to China, a complicated love-hate relationship between the three of them unfolds...]

【possible. 】

[Here's a pen; you should hurry up and write a fanfiction romance novel too.]

【Hahaha. 】

Regardless of the circumstances, Zhou Yancong is already engaged to someone else, and Nightingale is now undoubtedly the other woman.

That's right.

【Agree! 】

……

At this moment, Ding Jiayi and Yu Qing had roughly finished reading the content on the trending topics. They glanced at Shen Jinsui, who had an unhappy expression, and then looked at He Xiaoxiao.

Ding Jiayi said in a low voice, "These people are talking complete nonsense, it's too much."

Yu Qing: "This so-called whistleblower must be an employee of our company."

After thinking for a while, He Xiaoxiao asked them for their opinions in a low voice: "Why don't we just tell the netizens that Sui Sui is the Cheng family's daughter?"

Yu Qing pondered for a few seconds after hearing this, then shook her head and said softly, "Let's report those malicious comments first, and then ask Sui Sui later to see what she has to say."

After she finished speaking, Ding Jiayi and He Xiaoxiao thought for a while and then nodded in agreement with her suggestion.

Shen Jinsui did not disclose her specific family background to the public, so they had to ask her opinion before making any plans.
