Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Not long after, the haters in Jian Yiling’s stream had been blocked.

Only normal comments were left on the stream.

“Now, it’s much better to look at!” Huo Yu commented.

He was very happy with his work. Just as he was about to ask for praise from Jian Yuncheng, he realized that the expression on Jian Yuncheng’s face was still as black as coal.

“Wait, I’ve blocked all the haters already. Why are you still upset?”

Huo Yu followed Jian Yuncheng’s gaze and realized that he was coldly staring at Zhai Yunsheng.

Ahh… Now he understood… Jian Yuncheng didn’t want him to block the haters on the stream… Instead, he wanted him to get rid of the big bad wolf that stole his sister…

Sadly, Huo Yu couldn’t help with that.

Later in the afternoon, XDL’s Weibo account responded to the netizens. They stated that the Lily bag in Jian Yiling’s cloakroom was real.

The official post read: The bag is real. Our CEO gave it to her.

Upon reading this post, the netizens were shocked. They began to speculate about Jian Yiling’s identity.

In the post, XDL used ‘her’ instead of ‘him’. This meant that the bag was a gift for Jian Yiling.

What kind of identity could make the CEO of XDL design a bag for her?

What did Jian Yiling do?

Quickly, the netizens connected the dots. They remembered the wide array of XDL products in Jian Yiling’s apartment. This indicated that Jian Yiling had a close connection with XDL:

And thus, the netizens began to discuss this matter:

[Who is she even?! Is she related to XDL’s CEO by blood?]

[Related to XDL’s CEO by blood? You must be joking. They’re not even from the same race.]

[Did Jian Yiling do an operation for her? Perhaps it’s a gift???]

[Hmm, that’s honestly a possibility.]

[Wait, that means Jian Yiling’s talents are recognized internationally. That’s super impressive.]

[Isn’t that a given fact? After all, she’s a member of Lahaisen Hospital. Lahaisen Hospital only accepts the most talented individuals in the world!]

Not only the netizens were curious, but even those who knew Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yiling were curious.

When Yu Xi saw the comments on the Internet, he turned around to ask Han Mengyu who was seated beside him: “Hey, do you think Master Sheng gifted the bag to God Ling? If he didn’t, how do you think she got the bag?”

“Maybe it’s Elder Zhang,” Han Mengyu replied. Even though Han Mengyu knew the truth, he pretended to be clueless.

“Zhang Xuming? Isn’t he like seventy or eighty years old? How does he remember to buy bags for girls? Furthermore, I didn’t know Xuming Medical Manufacturers did business with XDL. For the CEO of XDL to personally design the bag… That’s rather… Strange, no? It might be a rumor, but I’ve heard that Diana refuses to even design bags for the royal family in Continent O.”

“Hmm, that makes sense too,” Han Mengyu replied. He continued to act clueless.

After all, this was Jian Yiling’s secret. Unless Jian Yiling personally told someone else, he wouldn’t say a single thing.

“Well, I’m still pretty curious. Do you think God Ling is hiding some other identity from us?” Yu Xi guessed.

After all, in the past, Jian Yiling hid the fact that she was a member of the Huiling Medical Research Institution.

“Possibly.”

“Wait, are you not curious at all?” Yu Xi asked. Why was he the only one guessing enthusiastically?

“Am I not? Well, I feel like Master Sheng should care about these matters and not us.”
