The Zhou Group’s internal chat had exploded long ago.
Employees pulled out their phones one after another and used their verified accounts to show their support under Zhou Suisui’s Weibo post, forming an orderly line of comments.
【The Marketing Director checking in! Everyone in the Zhou Group’s Marketing Department is cheering for Miss Zhou!】
【The Zhou Group’s Finance Department will always stand with Miss Zhou!】
【Human Resources: Any account that has participated in cyberbullying Miss Zhou has been blacklisted by the Zhou Group’s HR Department.】
【The President’s Secretary Office checking in: Whoever makes an enemy of our Miss Zhou is making an enemy of the entire Zhou Group!】
Their precious young lady had been cyberbullied—and by Su Wan’s fans, no less.
Who could possibly stand for that?
As for Zhou Sui'an being cursed by the entire internet?
Sorry, but which CEO Zhou?
Not a single person cared.
Everyone tacitly treated their own CEO like he was invisible.
Watching public opinion gradually turn in their favor, Fu Jie finally let out a sigh of relief.
His fingers typed one final line in the comments section.
【Miss Zhou is the kindest and cutest person in the world! She deserves the very best!】
He exited the comments section with satisfaction. The corners of his lips had just begun to lift when a Weibo notification popped up.
Eight pink diamonds, dazzling enough to hurt the eyes.
Fu Jie instantly froze in place, his heart shattering into pieces—one piece, two pieces…
Jiang Zongyan had actually given Miss Zhou an entire box of pink diamonds!
An entire box!
Eight diamonds, all lined up neatly!
One of them alone was worth 1.1 billion!
With that kind of wealth, that kind of devotion, that kind of sense of security, what could he possibly use to compete with Jiang Zongyan?
“Director Fu! Director Fu!”
Li Qingqing from the Finance Department came rushing in, holding up her phone with an excited expression. “Look! I drove Su Wan’s secret account into a complete meltdown. She’s even disabled her comments now!”
Before she could finish, she saw Fu Jie sprawled across his desk.
His shoulders were trembling. His glasses lay off to one side, while his face was buried in the crook of his arm.
Li Qingqing’s smile stiffened.
“Uh…”
Oh, dear.
This was bad. Director Fu seemed to have suffered a breakdown.
Meanwhile, the Jiang family villa had already become a scene of wild celebration.
“Beautiful!”
Jiang Xingming looked at the eight pink diamonds Zhou Suisui had posted and slapped his thigh, laughing heartily.
“Worth it! Those seven diamonds were worth every penny!”
The gloom that had weighed on him just moments ago vanished instantly.
Wasn’t this practically the same as Suisui directly calling him “Dad”?
She had, in a roundabout way, acknowledged her status as the Jiang family’s future daughter-in-law.
He happily called his assistant. “Quick! Buy ten more trending searches for me!”
“Use titles like #TheJiangFamilyHeirGivesDiamondsAwayLikeGlassMarbles# and #OtherPeople’sBoyfriendsNeverDisappoint#… Get them all to the number-one spot!”
“Understood, Chairman Jiang. I’ll take care of it right away.”
After hanging up, the assistant thought excitedly, Oh my, the red envelopes he had prepared earlier could finally come in handy.
Jiang Ruitian jumped up and down in excitement. “Who said my brother doesn’t know how to date? There’s no such thing as a straight man in this world—only men who are willing to put in the effort!”
Mrs. Jiang smiled and quietly used her phone to add several hundred thousand more boosts to a few of the hashtags.
“By the way, keep the buzz going. Make sure everyone knows that Suisui is the daughter-in-law the Jiang family has chosen. Let’s see who still dares bully her!”
At the Zhou residence.
Zhou Suisui watched her Weibo follower count climb at lightning speed.
It shot from a few thousand to tens of thousands, then hundreds of thousands…
Countless private messages and comments flooded in.
She immediately began to panic.
“Oh no. I’ve really gone too far this time.”
Zhou Suisui nervously licked her lips. She reached out to delete the photo, but her finger paused before pulling back.
Deleting it now would only make it look like she was trying to hide something.
Only now did she realize that what she had done was practically a unilateral announcement that Jiang Zongyan was pursuing her.
What did he think about it?
Zhou Suisui thought of the options listed on the link—the internationally acclaimed actress, Miss Lin, who was brimming with talent…
Then she remembered what Jiang Zongyan had said when he gave her the diamonds.
“Here. A proposal.”
Her cheeks grew hot.
She patted them, picked up her phone, and opened her WeChat conversation with Jiang Zongyan.
Her snow-white fingers flew across the keypad, quickly typing out a few words before sending them.
Hmph. Who gave him permission to flirt with her?
So what if she let people misunderstand things just a tiny bit?
At that moment.
Jiang Zongyan was sitting in his study, his tall figure sinking into a leather chair.
His long, well-defined fingers held a custom-made phone.
As he looked at the photo Zhou Suisui had posted on Weibo, a smile unconsciously spread across his lips.
The ice had melted, revealing a heart overflowing with affection.
Just then, his phone chimed.
He tapped it open.
【Brother Yan, do you believe me? I really only slipped up just now… I’m sorry. I won’t get in the way of your pursuit of Actress Fu, will I? And Miss Lin, that incredibly talented lady—she won’t misunderstand when she sees my Weibo post, will she?】
Jiang Zongyan let out a low laugh, amused by the jealousy dripping from her words.
He didn’t reply to her message. Instead, he opened Weibo, reposted Zhou Suisui’s update, and added eight simple, straightforward words:
@Zhou Suisui.
【If you like them, play with them like glass marbles.】
The entire internet erupted once again.
【Glass marbles?! Glass marbles worth 1.1 billion each?!】
【I’m losing my mind! I want to fight these rich people! What kind of god-tier overbearing CEO is this?!】
【Burp. I’m stuffed with this dog food.】
【Who was it that said the Jiang family’s heir was cold and uninterested in women? Step forward and take your beating!】
The Jiang family trio practically started dancing on the spot.
What a show-off!
He was flaunting their relationship in the most blatant way possible!
The Jiang family’s old iron tree had finally blossomed—and had instantly transformed into a peacock displaying its feathers.
The only exception was outside the Zhou residence.
Zhou Sui'an crouched pitifully on the steps, looking like a lonely, abandoned man.
Watching the two of them flirt and exchange teasing remarks on Weibo, his eyes reddened with grievance.
“Sis, open the door! Please open the door for your brother, okay?”
He knocked on the door again, unwilling to give up, and sadly wiped away his tears.
Hey, could someone please spare a thought for whether he was alive or dead?
At the same time.
Tangcheng International Airport, VIP exit.
The black automatic doors slowly slid open, and Fu Niansheng emerged first.
She wore a sharply tailored, long black trench coat, cinched at the waist with a matching slender belt that emphasized her graceful figure.
Her black stilettos with red soles clicked against the polished marble floor, while oversized sunglasses covered half her face.
With her scarlet lips and imposing presence, she radiated an aura that seemed to extend for miles.
Two assistants and four bodyguards in black followed behind her.
They had barely taken two steps when the reporters who had been waiting at the exit rushed toward them like a swarm.
“Actress Fu! Actress Fu, look this way!”
“Fu Niansheng! Is your sudden return to the country because of Jiang Zongyan?”
“Have you been following today’s trending searches?”
“Rumor has it that the Jiang family’s heir spent 1.1 billion on the Pink Heart and gave it to Miss Zhou. Are the two of them really dating?”
“Is there some hidden history between you and the heir?”
Countless microphones and recording devices practically shoved themselves into her face.
Camera flashes popped incessantly, dazzling enough to make it difficult to keep one’s eyes open.
The bodyguards immediately stepped forward, joining hands to form a circle around her and shield her from the crowd.
“As for Mr. Jiang’s private affairs, I’m not in a position to comment.”
Fu Niansheng continued walking without slowing down, her face wearing that flawless, trademark smile the entire time.
It wasn’t until a reporter pushed his way to the very front and shouted, “Actress Fu, if you don’t want to answer Mr. Jiang’s question, then tell us about CEO Zhou! Rumor has it that the three of you were classmates!”
At the mention of “Zhou Sui’an,” Fu Niansheng finally paused mid-step—
Hehe~~ The rating has reached 9.1! Princesses who haven’t rated it yet, please give Xiao Mo a rating. I’ll add another chapter when it reaches 9.2~~ Love you all~~
