Chapter 729: Dominating the Trending Searches

The person who posted this microblog was a rather famous journalist, who usually managed to obtain first-hand scoops about first and second-tier celebrities, resulting in a considerable accumulation of followers.

Thus, the photos quickly topped the trending searches.

Bo Yanching scrolled down to read the comments.

In just a few minutes, there had already been over a hundred thousand comments.

“Damn!

She’s so beautiful!”

“She’s wearing a costume from ‘The Empress’s Killing’ crew, isn’t she?

Who is she?

Which role does she play?”

“Seems like she might be a staff member?”

“Impossible!

That face is too perfect not to act.

No, I won’t listen to all this nonsense from mortals.

She must be a celebrity; I will follow this drama religiously, I must watch!”

“Above commenter, where are you putting our Chu Yao?

Does ‘The Empress’s Killing’ need someone else to boost its ratings?”

“Why the fuss?

Didn’t you look at the photos carefully?

This beauty seems to be quite close to Chu Yao.”

“Right, more than just close.

Chu Yao never lets anyone into her makeup room.”

“It looks like…

even standing next to Chu Yao, this beauty isn’t overshadowed, is she?”

“I kind of remember her, you know, the lady in the cheongsam who briefly passed in front of the live camera during ‘The Empress’s Killing’ press conference?

It looks like it’s her!”

Bo Yanching went back to look at the photos, saved all of them, including the one where Nan Jiaojiao was leaving the makeup room with her arm hooked around Chu Yao’s shoulder.

Then he sent the link to Mo Tingshen.

“Handle this.”

Mo Tingshen quickly replied with six dots.

At the moment, he too, was looking at the microblog, which Yaen Chi had forwarded to them just moments before.

It was only a photo of Chu Yao, a candid shot, with her tilting her head to talk to Nan Jiaojiao, most of her face away from the camera, only the curve of her smiling lips barely visible.

On a whim, he zoomed in on the image and cropped Chu Yao out of it.

He let out a low sigh and then pressed ‘save’.

He then ordered the public relations department to suppress the microblog post.

In less than five minutes, not a single trace could be found on the entire net.

This alarmed many people, particularly those who had witnessed such events before.

They wondered just what kind of background that girl had, for a simple candid shot not to be allowed online, news suppressed so tightly, leaving people in awe of her background.

However, the subject in question, Nan Jiaojiao, was completely unaware of the matter.

After the press conference ended, Chu Yao led her out through the back door.

Avoiding the fans and journalists blocked outside, Chu Yao was wrapped up tightly, hat pulled low, draped in a bulky down jacket that went down to her ankles.

She crossed her arms, the jacket so compressed it looked as if she was hugging a pillow.

“Xiao Yao.”

A man’s light call suddenly came from the side.

Chu Yao looked up and saw Mo Suizhi in front of the car.

She hesitated for a moment, then patted Nan Jiaojiao’s arm, signaling for her to follow, and quickly walked up to Mo Suizhi.

“Why are you here?” she looked up and asked, “No one came with you?”

“They’re in the car.”

Mo Suizhi pointed to a car, the driver’s side window now sliding down, and Chu Yao recognized it as an old family driver.

Chu Yao immediately frowned, “Why didn’t you bring any bodyguards?”

Today was crowded, she was popular, and the male lead was a top celebrity.

There was no bad blood between Chu Yao and the male lead, but ever since their roles were announced, the fans of both sides had been at each other’s throats, resulting in two scuffles even before the press conference began.

If not for the ample security, things could have escalated into a fight.

Many people were still gathered around by now.

Although this door was less crowded, what if something happened?

It wasn’t deserted, and if he got found out, it would be difficult for her to protect him.

“It’s fine, I just came to see you.

I told Big Brother when I was on my way here, he’s nearby and will come to pick me up afterwards.”
