Chapter 171 – There was no good answer to this question (1)
The family of five gathered around over dinner.
Ms. Lin Ping suddenly cleared her throat, casually glanced over at Lin Yiyi, and asked, “Are you two dating?”
At this time, in addition to Ms. Lin Ping and Mr. Gu Chengyi, even Meng Yuran and Meng Shanshan looked up at Lin Yiyi.
Meng Shanshan was still young and didn’t understand what Ms. Lin Ping was talking about. She merely looked up because everybody else was doing so.
Meng Yuran, on the other hand, looked much more serious.
Lin Yiyi’s hand that was holding onto the chopsticks paused for a second, “… No, we are not.”
“No?”
This time it wasn’t just Ms. Lin Ping who asked, even Mr. Gu Chengyi and Meng Yuran blurted out at the same time.
When the three of them talked at the same time, it was so loud that one could go deaf.
But…
Lin Yiyi maintained her stance. “You guys saw the most trended topics too? Not everything on the Internet is true. Many things are made up. Lu Xun and I are just normal friends…”
At most… She was a little bit fond of him. Thought Lin Yiyi with a bit of a guilty conscience.
“I am getting more and more confused about what is going on with you young people.” Ms. Lin Ping expressed that she was dumbfounded. What she was most baffled about was, she could see that Lu Xun was a coward, but even Lin Yiyi was so particular.
Meng Yuran was the one who looked at his mother for the longest time among the three of them. She probably still didn’t know that her family had been following her streaming channel without her knowing. They have also witnessed the hug between the male and female leads in the scandal and the screen that was filled with “being together”.
Meng Yuran just felt that his eyes stung.
If that still wasn’t considered as “being together”…
Would all the buddies from the streaming channel be okay with that?!
After her identity was revealed, this was the very first time that she had a face-to-face stream as Lin Yiyi with all the viewers who came because of who she was.
And, that would also be her very last time.
It was tough, like raising a child and watching it grow every day, all the way until it had tens of thousands of followers. She had tried to squeeze out time everyday to do it and a lot of hard work went into it.
That being said, she also knew that thing would never be the same again and she wouldn’t be able to just purely teach others to cook delicious food anymore.
She wouldn’t be sad for too long.
After she closed down her streaming channel, she still has a restaurant to run and her own career to work on.

A couple days later, Lu Xun pitter pattered over to Xinri Media like a child again.
By now, the employees of Xinri were no longer surprised by Lu Xun’s appearance. Some of the upper management would even greet him in a friendly manner. “Hi, Boss Lu, looking for our boss again, huh?”
Everybody had already gotten used to looking at the “man behind their boss” with normal affection.
Lin Yiyi hadn’t expected that situation at her work place.
The man waddled into her office just like that with no hindrance on his way.
She rubbed her temple.
Did she need to replace the receptionists?
“I’ve got news for you.” With Lin Yiyi looking at him dubiously, Lu Xun looked for a chair and casually sat down. “Yang Qiang is the manager of our Planning Department. Only someone internal has the ability to access Yaxing’s customer information. When we follow that lead, he exposed himself to us.”
A look of disgust flashed past his face. “Do you remember that Meng Yan wanted to get on a parent-child variety TV show a while back? As the manager of the Planning Department, Yang Qiang had planned to use your streaming channel on Yaxing as a gimmick to attract attention to the show…”
Having said that, Lin Yiyi finally figured out what he was trying to tell her.
Meng Yan did not end up going onto the show, so Yang Qiang had that information that was of no use to him. Releasing the information at this point dragged Lu Xun in as well. Yang Qiang probably hadn’t expected that either.
“So he was the one who sold the information to Brother Spill?”
Lu Xun shook his head, “It was the president of Yuan Yao who bought the information from him.”
He felt shameful as the boss when there was a traitor in his company.
“Can you believe that his boss’s scandal was only worth 200,000 yuan?” asked Lu Xun sarcastically.
