[!!!!!!!!]
[F*k! What is the situation? How did it get to an engagement as soon as it started?!]
[Who is engaged? Who is he engaged to?]
[My god, what am I seeing? Lin Luoqing in women’s clothing! Is Lin Luoqing in women’s clothing so good-looking?!]
[Ahhhh! Beauty Qing Qing! Qing Qing in women’s clothing is killing me!]
[Why isn’t it a dress, show! I want to see him clearly wearing a dress!]
[I love a long-haired beauty. Brother, look at me!!]
[Wu wu wu Qing Qing is so beautiful. I took screenshots like crazy. Next time, Qing Qing should try the role of a female clothing big boss.]
[So am I the only one who cares about the identity of the relative or friend that Luoqing brought?]
[I have the same concern. I know that Song Xiuwen and Zhai Tinglan are best friends while Peng Feijie and Qian Yongan have cooperated before. Then the only one remaining is this Young Master Ji.]
[Young Master Ji is so handsome. Is Young Master Ji brought by Luoqing?]
[F*k, is there such a handsome guy in the entertainment industry? I haven’t seen him before.]
[Am I the only one who noticed that Young Master Ji is very gentle? He helped Qing Qing peel the orange and remove the white strands on the orange. He is too careful. Wu wu, my boyfriend can’t do this!]
[So who is this Young Master Ji? Is it that my village isn’t connected to the Internet? How come I don’t know this person?]
[I don’t know him either. It shouldn’t be. He is so handsome. I wouldn’t be able to forget him if I had watched him before. Is he not an actor?]
[How can he not be an actor? With this appearance, can he still be an amateur?]
[In three minutes, I want all of Young Master Ji’s information!]
[Reporting! The official blog posted on Weibo. Young Master Ji is indeed an amateur and he is Luoqing’s friend outside the circle. He is named Ji Yuxiao. Go to the official blog to see.]
[??? Is he really an amateur? My god, does Young Master Ji want to enter the entertainment industry?]
[Look at Young Master Ji’s face. If he really doesn’t go to the entertainment industry, it will really be a loss for the entertainment industry!]
Netizens opened the official Weibo while sending a barrage.
Bright Sunday V: [The secret of the relative or friend has been revealed. The guest brought by Lin Luoqing in this episode is his friend Ji Yuxiao from outside the circle. Did you guess correctly?]
The comments area replies said one by one:
[Can we guess this correctly???]
[I’m not convinced if it isn’t Brother Zheng. My Poetic Emotion CP ahhhh.]
[I thought it could only be Sister Qin who has the possibility of beating Brother Zheng. I didn’t expect it to be this Ji Yuxiao!]
[Who is Ji Yuxiao? Did Luoqing mention him before?]
[Still, I have to say that Ji Yuxiao is really handsome!!! Do handsome guys only play with handsome guys? The friend outside the circle is also so handsome!]
[No, am I the only one who clicked on Ji Yuxiao’s Weibo and saw the certification?]
[I also saw that it said the general manager of the Ji Group… ah, this… Did Chairman Ji take time out of his busy schedule to accompany Qing Qing to play?]
[Remove ‘take the time.’ I think it is ‘specifically’ [dog head].]
[So is he really the general manager of the Ji Group? Seriously?]
For a while, netizens went to Ji Yuxiao’s Weibo one after another, constantly going through the Weibo to confirm his identity.
Some people asked directly on the barrage: [Young Master Ji is the general manager of the Ji Group? I’m not talking about the content of the script. I’m talking about the real identity.]
[Eh??? What do you mean?]
[Go and look at the official Weibo. The account that was @ is verified as the general manager of the Ji Group!]
[F*k! Is he so awesome?]
[I just said that Young Master Ji is extraordinary. The moment he appeared, I could see that his quality wasn’t ordinary.]
[To be honest, he does look very noble.]
[Some people are too funny. The moment they hear that he is the general manager of the Ji Group, they immediately say that they have seen this person as extraordinary. Isn’t this too much of a suck up?]
[Yes, who knows? Wouldn’t it be embarrassing if this isn’t true?]
[It is certified. Can it be faked?]
[With Lin Luoqing’s current position, it is normal to know the general manager of the Ji Group, right?]
[So has the official Weibo of the Ji Group forwarded any of his Weibo posts? Which general manager is so idle?]
[Yes. These days, there are all types of pretenses. Who knows if this is true?]
Wu Xinyuan, “……”
Wu Xinyuan never thought they could still argue about this.
He looked at Ji Yuxiao and tactfully hinted that he would go and find Ji Yuxiao soon.
After all, an agent couldn’t let the official Weibo of the Ji Group forward Ji Yuxiao’s Weibo now. It had to be personally ordered by Ji Yuxiao.
Some people doubted but more people believed it. They were discussing it in a lively manner.
[Chairman Ji isn’t busy working at the company. What are you doing here?]
[Ahhhh, isn’t this obvious? Of course, it is to accompany Qing Qing [amused].]
[F*k, this fan with no brains came uninvited. I am sick of it.]
[A boss x star, it is a classic CP combination.]
[Ahhhh, sisters, I know. It is because Brother Zheng’s acceptance speech gave birth to a large number of Poetic Emotions CP fans, so Chairman Ji was jealous and asked Luoqing to bring him to this variety show?]
[F*k, there is a smell!]
[There is a saying. This type of variety show is indeed more suitable for those in the circle, right? With Chairman Ji, this type of amateur… I taste it, I taste it…]
[Who ships it, I ship it. Wu wu wu, it is a good match!]
[Now I remember the fact that Chairman Ji peeled the orange for Qing Qing at the beginning of the show and the white strands were specially removed. It is great!]
[So sweet, so sweet. I feel the sweetness of oranges.]
Lin Luoqing and the others naturally couldn’t see the barrage of the live broadcast and were still chatting seriously according to the plot.
Sun Liang suddenly screamed as they were chatting.
“What is it?” Song Xiuwen exclaimed in surprise.
“Yes, what happened?” Lin Luoqing repeated.
Zhao Yaming stood up. “This voice sounds like the housekeeper. I’ll take a look.”
The moment she stood up, she saw Sun Liang running over. “It isn’t good, it isn’t good. The master is dead.”
The group was shocked. “What?!”
Sun Liang pointed not far away. “It is in the study. Let’s take a look.”
Seeing this, Zhao Yaming walked toward the study.
Lin Luoqing looked at Ji Yuxiao and walked over with Ji Yuxiao.
“How did this happen?” Ji Yuxiao added a joke. “Now that such a thing has happened to Dad, can we still hold the engagement party tonight?”
Lin Luoqing thought, ‘…My dad is dead and you only care about the engagement banquet?!’
He looked at Ji Yuxiao. “Is this the top priority right now?”
“What else?” Ji Yuxiao looked innocent.
“Of course, it is to investigate the murderer of my father!”
“Can we continue the engagement if we find out?”
Lin Luoqing, “????”
“Why are you only thinking about getting engaged?”
Ji Yuxiao said straightforwardly, “Aren’t we gathered here today for the engagement? As the groom, if I don’t care about the engagement then what should I care about?”
Lin Luoqing, “……”
The barrage laughed loudly. [Of course, he cares about the cause of his father-in-law’s death!]
[Hahahaha Mr Ji just wants to get engaged!]
[They aren’t married yet. How can he be the groom? Mom disagrees with this self-title?]
[Mom agrees, Mom agrees, Mom clearly agrees!]
[Mr Ji, do you still remember what you came for?]
[Let me just say that Mr Ji likes Luoqing, right? Three sentences always mention the engagement. I think it isn’t Young Master Ji who wants to get engaged, it is Chairman Ji [amused].]
[Very good. The first to be ruled out is the engagement brain Young Master Ji.]
The group came to the study.
In the study, a model was sitting on a chair with a knife in its chest. This was obviously a fatal injury.
“After examination, the victim died between 12 o’clock and 1 o’clock. I just asked the maid. At this time, you are the only ones present in the house so the murderer must be among you. I am the detective today.”
“Good.” Zhao Yaming clapped very cooperatively. “Congratulations to the housekeeper for being promoted to detective.”
“Then let’s go to the living room to go through the timeline now.” Sun Liang finished speaking and led everyone to the living room.
Lin Luoqing and Ji Yuxiao sat back in their original positions. They took a pen and paper and listened to Zhao Yaming’s self-introduction.
“My name is Mrs Zhao, the hostess of this villa, in other words, the master’s wife. I was compiling the guest list this morning. I went to see the master around 12 o’clock to confirm that the guests on the list would come tonight. Then I went back to my room. When lunch was served at 1 o’clock, I went to call the master but the master said he wasn’t hungry and to let me eat. After eating at 2 o’clock, I went back to my room for a nap. I woke up just now and went downstairs to entertain the guests.”
Lin Luoqing nodded and Sun Liang said, “Next is Beauty Lin.”
The barrage instantly became dense.
[Beauty Lin, is it Qing Qing?]
[Hahaha, who is it if not our Qing Qing? There is no one else surnamed Lin at the scene.]
[Sure enough, even the show’s staff thinks that our Qing Qing is a beauty~~~ Qing Qing is the most beautiful!]
[Today’s Qing Qing is so beautiful. Love love.]
Lin Luoqing cleared his throat. “I am Beauty Lin. As my fiance said, today is our engagement. I got up at 9 o’clock and started to do my makeup and get dressed. This was until my friend Accountant Zhai came to find me. I went downstairs. Then my fiance, Young Master Ji, and his friend, Programmer Qian also came. We chatted together for a while. At 1 o’clock, I ate with everyone and went back to my room for a nap until 1:30. Then Young Master Ji came to me and went downstairs to me. At that time, only Programmer Qian and my sister, Second Young Lady Song, were in the living room. We chattered for a while before my brother, Third Young Master Peng, came downstairs.”
“Okay, next is Young Master Ji.”
Ji Yuxiao coughed and grabbed Lin Luoqing’s shoulder.
Lin Luoqing, “????”
Barrage: [He moved! Sure enough, he made a move secretly!]
[Ahhh… I really don’t want to eat it but can I not eat it when the sugar is placed in my mouth?]
[Still, it is normal for straight men to put an arm around each other’s shoulders. Mr Ji should just be Qing Qing’s good friend or brother.]
[Yes, I feel that only straight men would be so blatant. They find it fun to be unscrupulous. If there is really something, they definitely won’t be so careless.]
[But Qian Yongan and Peng Feijie aren’t like this?]
[It is because they both aren’t familiar with each other in the script setting.]
[I don’t care. In any case, I think it is sweet. Hehehe.]
[I bet a spicy strip. Chairman Ji will definitely make some moves. It is impossible to just be an arm around the shoulder [dog head].]
[+1, +1. Secretly observing.jpg.]
Ji Yuxiao put an arm around him and said in an unhurried manner, “I am Young Master Ji, the young owner of Ji Real Estate. I am also Beauty Lin’s fiance. I came here with my friend Programmer Qian at around 10:30 this morning. I came to meet my fiancee Beauty Lin, who is as delicate as a flower, as refined as precious jade. She is beautiful and moving, gorgeous and magnificent.”
He smiled at Lin Luoqing as he said this.
Lin Luoqing was simply defeated by this idiom and his face was a bit red. “Get to the point.”
“That is the point,” Ji Yuxiao said with a smile.
[Haha, I just said it. Chairman Ji only has the engagement in his heart!]
[Next one, next one, Young Master Ji is too much of a love brain.]
[Once again, exclude our Young Master Ji.]
[Mr Ji used this idiom well. I like it.]
[I like it too.]
“Then as Qing Qing said, we chatted together for a while. At 1 o’clock, we ate together and I went back to my room for a nap. At 2 o’clock, I woke up, cleaned up and went to find Qing Qing, ready to discuss the dinner party. We walked to the living room and I saw my friend Programmer Qian and Qing Qing’s sister, Second Young Lady Song. Everyone chatted together for a while before Qing Qing’s younger brother, Third Young Master Peng, came downstairs. I looked at the watch at that time and saw it was almost 5 o’clock.”
“So your timeline overlaps with Beauty Lin, right?” Sun Liang asked.
“Yes, after all, we are a loving couple.”
Ji Yuxiao said while looking at Lin Luoqing again.
Lin Luoqing, “……”
Lin Luoqing said, “Next.”
The netizens laughed.
[What is this? What should I do if my fiance loves me too much?]
[Hahaha, what if my fiance is too sweet?]
[What should I do if my fiance is too clingy?]
[What should I do if my fiance always looks at me?!]
[Young Master Ji is too involved in the act.]
[How do you know it isn’t true feelings [amused].]
[Hehehe, hehehe, so sweet, so sweet.]
After introducing themselves, Sun Liang divided the guests into groups. He and Zhao Yaming each brought a group to prepare for an evidence search.
Ji Yuxiao took advantage of this rest time before the evidence collection to walk in front of Wu Xinyuan. “What is it?”
Wu Xinyuan looked at it and said in a low voice, “Boss, you should ask your group’s official Weibo to give your Weibo page a like. Netizens are now arguing about whether your certification is true or not. Some people swear that you definitely aren’t the general manager of the Ji Group.”
Ji Yuxiao thought, ‘…Such swearing. Tan Jiaji, is that you?’
Did he stop stepping on a sewing machine in prison to surf the Internet instead?
Even Ji Mu couldn’t say such nonsense!
