Chapter 360: I Will Only Marry Him
But they couldn’t even think of any bigshot who had this much power to rally all of these important people.
Not even Tang Zhiyu could do this.
So Tang Zhiyu might be following Yun Xiangxiang for some reason, just like these bigshots were.
The fight under Yun Xiangxiang’s Weibo had quieted down, but it left an unanswered question.
Some media workers who had connections tried to get some news from a certain bigshot, but all of the bigshots wouldn’t speak of this.
Some bigshot attended a press conference the next day. It was supposed to be a very formal, business-related press conference. However, a reporter still couldn’t hold their curiosity in, “Why did you suddenly follow Yun Xiangxiang, the actress?”
The bigshot smiled. “My wife and my daughter love her, so I have to stay in line.”
The reporters were dumbfounded!
It was a reasonable excuse. They couldn’t find any question to counter that, but they thought this shouldn’t be the case.
There was another bigshot that afternoon, and he was a rising star who was in his thirties. He wasn’t married, nor did he have any children.
This bigshot was asked the same question, and he said, “I saw a lot of them suddenly following her, so I can’t lag behind. It will be a big loss if I lose this business opportunity.
The reporters were confused!
To conclude, the older bigshots had to stay in line with their wife and daughter, since their family members liked Yun Xiangxiang.
The younger bigshots followed what everyone did, or to be exact, they were following the trend.
But this begged the question: Why did the bigshots’ family members force their husbands or fathers to follow Yun Xiangxiang on the same day, with only an hour of difference between all the bigshots?
News about Yun Xiangxiang didn’t stop because of this, as not only were the media outlets curious about the answer, even the laymen wanted to know.
But no matter how cleverly they analyzed everything, they couldn’t come up with a reasonable explanation.
“This is terrifying…” When Song Meng saw Yun Xiangxiang’s Weibo, it had shaken the country’s pyramid of business.
“You made history again.” Li Xiangling knew Song Mian was strong, but she didn’t expect him to be this strong.
She and Song Meng didn’t add Song Mian on WeChat, as they knew what Song Mian was like. It was inappropriate to add their friend’s boyfriend on social media, so they just left their numbers to make it easy to call if something happened.
They didn’t know what Song Mian did until they came to see Yun Xiangxiang this morning.
He rallied everyone important by sending a single-sentence status on his Moments. There wouldn’t be a second person who could do that in this nation.
“The fans are asking me about this matter, so what should I do?” Song Meng looked frustrated.
“Just say you know nothing, either.” Yun Xiangxiang didn’t want to lie to her fans either, but she had no choice.
She would be publicly announcing her relationship with Song Mian to the world if she said that. She wasn’t worried that her career would be affected, nor was she worried her hard work would be doubted.
But the Song Family had always been a low-profile family, and she didn’t want to draw too much attention to them.
If a family of medics was paid too much attention, it would make them vulnerable to emotional blackmail.
She would be honest about having a boyfriend when it was time, and she would even declare the time they would register their marriage and take the certificate.
But she wouldn’t explain what kind of person her boyfriend and the eventual husband was like.
“You have always been an interesting person, and you even crashed Weibo in an interesting way.” Song Meng was still stunned about Weibo’s crash yesterday.
Many successful people suddenly followed Yun Xiangxiang. All of them were authoritative figures in their industry, so they attracted many guesses and theories. The sheer number of traffic on the site crashed it.
“He didn’t discuss it with me before this.” Yun Xiangxiang technically had nothing to do with them following her.
She could deal with Tang Zhiyu herself, and she already had a way to shut Tang Zhiyu’s female fans up.
But Song Mian was one step faster before she could even make her move, so what could she do?
“He isn’t just solving the problem Tang Zhiyu brought to you; he’s also warning him by letting him see how big the gap was between Tang Zhiyu and your boyfriend.” Li Xiangling saw the big picture better. “And he’s giving you some protection.”
No matter why these people suddenly followed Yun Xiangxiang, it was a fact that these heavyweights were now her followers. So it didn’t matter even if the riddle was unanswered.
Those who wanted to offend or attack Yun Xiangxiang or those who had ideas about her would have to think if they had the same power as Yun Xiangxiang’s backer.
“He cleared one big problem with one fell swoop, as expected of a bigshot.” Song Meng didn’t know how to express herself aside from giving a thumbs up. She then plopped down on the sofa. “Hey, we are both Songs, so why is there such a big gap between us?”
Li Xiangling pointed at Yun Xiangxiang’s face. “You’re both girls, so why is there such a big difference between you two?”
Song Meng was annoyed. “Li Xiangling, we can still be best friends if you don’t mock my looks.”
“When are we best friends?” Li Xiangling looked puzzled.
Song Meng pounced on her and tickled her. The girls started fighting.
Yun Xiangxiang didn’t bother herself with them, and she played with Yun Ting. Even though Su Xiuling rarely scrolled through Weibo, she wouldn’t miss the push notifications.
Yun Xiangxiang told her mother the truth when she was given the quizzical glare.
Su Xiuling was deathly silent after she listened to her daughter’s story. “What kind of family is behind Song Mian?”
She and Yun Zhibin knew Song Mian came from a wealthy family, but ‘wealthy’ for regular folk like them was only limited to those who appeared on the news, and they couldn’t imagine someone like Song Mian to exist.
Yun Xiangxiang laughed drily and tried her best to explain Song Mian’s family to her mother.
Su Xiuling was flabbergasted as she listened to Yun Xiangxiang, and she didn’t snap out of it even when Yun Xiangxiang had called her several times.
When she snapped out of it, she gave Yun Ting to her daughter. “Look after your brother. I have to take some time to process this.”
Yun Xiangxiang massaged her forehead. She didn’t want to scare her mother, and she could understand what Su Xiuling was thinking. The gap between her family and Song Mian was astronomically big.
As parents, they would be uncomfortable being in-laws with someone like this. No matter how confident they were, they would still feel inferior at times.
Su Xiuling took half an hour to calm herself down before reappearing before her daughter. “How deep is your love for Song Mian?”
“I will not marry anyone else aside from him.” Yun Xiangxiang understood how serious her mother was, but she was adamant too.
Su Xiuling looked at Yun Xiangxiang quietly to make sure she was answering calmly and rationally instead of being impulsive or fooled by the sweetness of love.
“What if he abandons you one day?” Su Xiuling had to voice out any possibility.
She knew what kind of person Song Mian was like after getting along with him for a short while. She thought Song Mian wasn’t just reliable; he was also respectful toward Yun Xiangxiang, but life is also filled with uncertainties.
Every possibility should be factored in.
