Fallen To The Ruthless Obssessive CEO-Chapter 484 - 418: One Hundred Million?
Yet at this moment, Bao Ye suddenly didn’t feel like clarifying things anymore.
With his thoughts drifting, Jiang Ruan’s voice came to his ear: "Bao Ye, Bao Ye, are you listening to me?"
Holding the phone, Jiang Ruan felt a slight tension when there was no response from his side.
"I’m listening." Bao Ye’s steady voice sounded.
Only then did Jiang Ruan breathe a sigh of relief: "You scared me; suddenly you went silent."
Jiang Ruan smiled and asked him, with a hint of cleverness in her tone: "So, isn’t my plan pretty good? Don’t worry, I’ve seen these kinds of things a lot. Those paparazzi just want money. As long as the money is enough, they’ll naturally take the topic off the trending list..."
Before Jiang Ruan could finish, Bao Ye suddenly called her name: "Jiang Ruan."
Jiang Ruan paused, and the words at her lips came to an abrupt stop: "Hmm, I’m here."
"What’s up?"
A second of silence, then Bao Ye’s low voice sounded: "We won’t take it off the trending list."
When those five words reached her ear, Jiang Ruan was completely stunned: "Huh?"
She even wondered if there was something wrong with her hearing.
Otherwise, how could she hear Bao Ye saying not to take it off the trending list?
"You... Bao Ye, what did you say?"
Jiang Ruan couldn’t help but ask again.
"I said, we won’t take it off the trending list." Bao Ye said word by word, his tone very firm: "This matter is settled, tell Sister Qin not to give a penny to those paparazzi."
Before Jiang Ruan could react, Bao Ye continued: "I have something to do here, I’ll hang up first."
The call was then directly cut off.
The sound of beeping came to her ear.
Holding the phone, Jiang Ruan stayed frozen, sitting in front of the dressing table, looking at herself bewildered, reminding her of a meme that’s very popular online recently.
It’s a cat staring blankly.
She even felt like she was that cat now.
Jiang Ruan’s mind was blank.
What did Bao Ye mean by not removing the topic from the trending list?
Wasn’t he unwilling to go public?
Not removing the topic, the situation would only escalate, and rumors about the two of them would continue to grow.
Doesn’t Bao Ye care?
Blinking, Jiang Ruan suddenly realized something.
Her dark eyes shone with a brilliant light, almost dazzling, and an irresistible smile appeared on her small face. But as she smiled, the corners of her eyes began to sting.
There were faint tears shimmering.
Jiang Ruan had waited a long time for this day.
Even though he didn’t say anything, just said not to remove the trending topic, Jiang Ruan understood everything.
When Jiang Ruan called, Sister Qin was infuriated. As soon as she connected the call, she started cursing.
But she wasn’t cursing Jiang Ruan; she was cursing the paparazzi.
"Damn, this group of bastards, really think they’re the bosses. They take one photo and act like they’re my ancestors, acting arrogant in front of me, and dare to ask for a hundred million. Why don’t they go to heaven?"
Sister Qin was nearly driven mad with anger.
Jiang Ruan had never seen Sister Qin so furious, and she was startled, patiently soothing her: "Don’t be angry, it’s not worth it to worry about people like them."
"Baby, anyway, I couldn’t hold back and cursed them already. We’ve torn faces with them, so there’s probably no easy way to resolve this on our side, but they’re just so shameless. Just a bunch of hooligans, I’ve never seen anyone asking for that much money in my years in the business, even asking for a hundred million, how are they not outright robbing us."
Hearing about the hundred million, Jiang Ruan was also shocked.
A constant buzz in her ear: "And this isn’t just your problem. I’m going to contact the Bao Family now. Bao Ye holds high status and definitely has broad connections in the circle. Besides, he’s not someone to mess with easily; surely, he has ways to deal with these hooligans!"
