Gu Ren opened Ye Zhi’s Weibo account and read the online comments. Most people did not believe the ‘fake news’. Although there were still some who ruthlessly criticized, it was already a lot better than in the past where she would immediately be attacked. 

It seemed that Ye Zhi’s reputation had really gone through a tremendous change.

Although he also wanted to make a statement, now was not the best time.

Finally, it was the show crew who stood up and responded. The official Weibo of [Perfect Partner] posted a Weibo.

“Here are the pictures of dinner held after recording the episode.”

Although this Weibo post didn’t directly mention Gu Ren and Ye Zhi, the photos of the dinner were clearly meant to clarify the scandal.

In the picture, the other guests were also present at the dinner.

Everything about the secret relationship between Gu Ren and Ye Zhi was all rumors fabricated by paparazzi.

“Huh, I have already told you that these are rumors. Other guests were also present at the scene. Do paparazzi treat netizens as fools?”

“Have you not seen Gu Ren and Ye Zhi sitting together? Did they choose their seats themselves? Hahaha, I seem to have discovered something amazing.”

“If they sat together, does that mean they have to be in a relationship? It might be that the show crew decided on the seating arrangement.”

There were still a lot of discussions going on the Internet, but everyone had acquiesced that the relationship between the two was pure nonsense.

The whole matter gradually settled.

…

A few days ago, Sheng Lian asked Liu Cang to investigate the current situation of the Sheng family’s daughter. With that request, Liu Cang arrived in the village where he sold Sheng Luo.

Liu Cang came to the place he barely managed to scour from his memory, but when he finally arrived and saw the familiar place, he was stunned.

The house seemed as if it had long been abandoned and was now in dilapidated condition. There was not a trace of person around. There were only weeds growing everywhere, giving a sense of desolation.

Liu Cang found it strange. Where did that family go? Could it be that the family who bought Sheng Luo had moved away?

After walking for a while, Liu Cang finally reached a villager’s house. He explained the location of the house just now and asked: “Where is the family who lives there now?”

Villager: “They are dead.”

Liu Cang was shocked: “What?”

The villager said with a look of regret on his face: “The family was very miserable. They got caught up in a landslide. They didn’t have time to evacuate and died.”

“In that accident that year, many people died.”

Liu Cang found it a little unbelievable and asked: “Where is that little girl? Is she really gone?”

The villager nodded: “The little girl was with her parents when the accident happened. No one survived.”

“No one lives in that house now.”

Liu Cang was not relieved and asked several other villagers for confirmation. Their answers were exactly the same.

Only then did Liu Cang confirm that Sheng Luo was really dead and messaged Sheng Lian to meet at a certain location.

That night, two of them met.

Sheng Lian had been anxiously waiting for Liu Cang’s news. As soon as he saw Liu Cang, he immediately asked, “Did you find her?”

Sheng Luo’s existence was a thorn in his heart. The more this matter dragged on, the more uncomfortable he felt. 

Liu Cang said nonchalantly: “Don’t worry, the Sheng family’s daughter is dead.”

Sheng Lian was completely stunned: “Dead?”

He had long guessed that Sheng Luo would be sold to someone as soon as he handed her over to Liu Cang. Of course, he also felt that she was likely to encounter misfortune because of having no blood relatives around. In fact, he hoped that she would encounter an unfortunate situation too…it was better that way.

But when this thought was really confirmed, he was still shocked.

After being shocked, he gradually calmed down and his reaction turned to suspicion. He immediately asked: “How did she die? Are you sure you have investigated it clearly?”

Seeing that Sheng Lian didn’t believe him, Liu Cang said coldly: “What? You don’t believe me now? If you don’t believe me, why don’t you confirm it yourself?”

When Sheng Lian saw Liu Cang’s expression change, he immediately lowered his voice: “I was really surprised that Sheng Luo died just like this.”
