One Word Changed, Characters in Chaos

Ye Xiao finally got some alone time.

She cozied up at the head of the bed, opened Weibo, and checked out the gossip.

Uh-oh!

The banquet incident had indeed spread.

Her older brother and the others must have given it a push behind the scenes, now, La Jingzhou and Bai Shilan were dominating seven of the top ten trending spots.

At the very top was.

Ye Xiao felt like a wildcat in a melon field, unable to decide which melon to sink her teeth into first.

She clicked on the Bai Shilan Olympics topic first.

As expected.

Someone had managed to record the thrilling scene of Bai Shilan’s three-meter standing long jump.

However.

The circulated video had blurred out Ye Lin’s appearance.

One could only make out that Bai Shilan seemed to be hitting on someone.

When the other party showed no interest and walked away, in her haste, she actually pulled off a stunning three-meter leap.

Those muscles!

That explosive power!

The comments section was packed, all saying awesome in two words!

Wasn’t Bai Shilan usually marketing herself as the innocent damsel in distress who couldn’t fend for herself?

Now what?

My frail and dependent idol suddenly jumping three meters?

It’s too thrilling, seriously.

Bai Shilan’s fans obviously couldn’t accept this fact, jumping around in the comments section, claiming the video was fake, definitely edited.

These fans were even frantically attacking the person who first posted the video, seemingly hell-bent on smearing the uploader’s account.

Bystanders were stunned.

“Isn’t that, Bai Shilan’s fans have gone mad? There’s even a timestamp in the video, how could it be edited?”

“Bai Shilan’s been no good from the start.”

“Bai Shilan’s fans are crazy!”

Bai Shilan’s fans didn’t care about those comments.

“We don’t care who it is, whoever dares to slander Shilan will pay the price.”

“Such a malicious media outlet should be shut down.”

Bystanders just laughed.

“These Bai Shilan fans are just short of saying: ‘You destroy my sisterhood’s paradise, I’ll clip your wings.’”

“Haha, almost nailed it.”

Bai Shilan’s fans made a fuss for a while, but the blogger in question wasn’t phased and even posted another Weibo.

“Do I need to frame Bai Shilan? A kept woman, worthy of me spending energy to smear? At the time, plenty of people saw her eagerness to cozy up, no amount of fan cleaning will help!”

When Bai Shilan’s fans saw this.

So arrogant?

They were about to go flood the comments section again.

But then.

Some people noticed something amiss.

“Wait a minute… several of the first ones to reply are top-tier rich second generations!”

“Top-tier rich second generations?”

Bai Shilan’s fans panicked.

What was going on?

The comments section was bustling.

“Lol, Qin, you’ve got guts, even taking a video. I wanted to record it too, but it was too late.”

“Not bad, not bad, I swiped the video. I’m thinking of sending her resume to the national team.”

“Hahaha, dying of laughter.”

“Can the fans really wash this clean? I’ve got a bit of the video here too, should we release it for some fun?”

“Release it, release it. Just be careful with the editing, don’t implicate that other person.”

The Ye Family had made it clear—they could spread whatever they wanted about Bai Shilan and La Jingzhou, but couldn’t involve Ye Lin.

These wealthy scions discussed openly without a care in the world.

Bystanders were cracking up on the side.

“I’m dying! Can Bai Shilan’s fans still be so bold? Could it be possible that so many top-tier rich second generations joined hands just to take down Bai Shilan?”

“It seems to be a banquet in the video, many people there must have seen it. Really want a full-length version.”

“Am I the only one curious about who the unfortunate soul harassed by Bai Shilan is? None of these rich second generations dare to show his face.”

“I guess it’s another big shot.”

“Bai Shilan really has some guts.”

“Hahaha, everyone stop hanging around here! There’s fresh drama! I’m dying of laughter, Bai Shilan was about to do the long jump, and La Jingzhou was actually watching from the side. A video leaked, and La Jingzhou’s face turned dark on the spot! Combining the two videos makes for even better viewing, trust me.”

Oh?

There have always been some vague rumors between La Jingzhou and Bai Shilan.

And now, La Jingzhou actually saw Bai Shilan hitting on someone?

It’s just too good!

The crowd of onlookers immediately switched battlegrounds.

As expected.

Watching the two videos together is simply too entertaining.

One moment.

Bai Shilan is doing the long jump.

The next.

La Jingzhou’s face turns green in a second.

“Hahaha! Brothers and sisters! Listen to me! The meme video of Qin Mobei rolling up to Chen Yueyue has topped the charts for a long time. It’s about time for our Ghost Beast Area to release a new masterpiece!”

“I say go for it! Let’s edit these two together!”

“Hahaha, I’m already on it!”

The big shots in the Ghost Beast Area say they’ll edit, and they edit.

Before long, a meme version combining both videos was out.

As Bai Shilan did the long jump, a big shot set it to music from Journey to the West.

“Who is it that brought you to my side?”

There were also scenes with demons flirting and preening around Monk Tang.

Bai Shilan doing the long jump, demons flirting and preening.

Swish swish swish, the two scenes switch back and forth in quick succession.

Then the scene cuts back to La Jingzhou.

It’s set to the repeated cries of a groundhog.

The comment section is about to die of laughter.

“I have a feeling that Bai Shilan is going to be jumping in the Ghost Beast Area for a whole month.”

“And La Jingzhou, he’s going to be squealing along for a month too.”

“I’m dead. Keep ’em coming, can’t get enough, seriously can’t get enough.”

While netizens were having a blast with the meme.

The aftermath of the drama continued to unfold!

La Jingzhou and Bai Shilan seem to have started a dog-eat-dog battle.

And, what’s more, La Jingzhou has been exposed for stealing the Liu Family’s business secrets?!

This drama went straight from amusing gossip to serious legal issues!

At first, everyone was somewhat skeptical about this development.

It wasn’t until someone snapped a photo of La Jingzhou and Bai Shilan entering the police station that the rumor was mostly confirmed.

The silence of the La Family seemed to be another piece of evidence!

That’s a major player in the capital circle—if this were just a rumor, wouldn’t their subordinates have dealt with it immediately?

Their silence at this point could only suggest two things.

They can no longer handle the situation.

Recalling how La Jingzhou started his career by relying on the Liu Family, and now he’s being accused of stealing their secrets, everyone pretty much got the picture.

It must be the Liu Family taking action!

But then again.

La Jingzhou completely deserves it!

To rise through the ranks on the back of others, and then try to hollow them out!

While he was engaged to Liu Yan, he still had an unclear relationship with Bai Shilan.

Liu Yan is the Liu Family’s daughter; she could have her pick of any man. Now that she’s been humiliated to this extent, even if she’s love-struck, she probably won’t stand for it anymore!

The drama of the night kept unfolding, one episode after another.

Ye Xiao followed along, eating it all up, watching the meme video several times over until she was thoroughly satisfied.

The drama she created tasted just a little bit sweeter than all the rest!

She decided!

Her night had been nutritious enough.

She’d scroll through some pictures of young male celebs for another half an hour, and then she could go to bed!

The next morning.

Ye Xiao had a great sleep and woke up full of energy.

After freshening up, she went downstairs.

But she was shocked the moment she reached the stairway landing.

My God.

What was this?

Was she supposed to be seeing this?
