After Giving Up, My Rich Ex-Husband Begged Me to Return CHAPTER 74
Chapter 74 Everyone’s a Master Debater
Seeing Xu Mo Cun’s bewildered expression, Jiang Su’s expression froze.
“It can’t be Xu Ce, right?” These netizens are incredible; anyone remotely connected to him can be paired up with him as a CP.
Even the absurd pairing with Shen Xiu Mo has emerged; anything more absurd would be a CP with Xu Ce, right?
Xu Mo Cun was taken aback. “It’s not that absurd.”
Jiang Su breathed a sigh of relief. “Who is it then?”
Xu Mo Cun’s expression was serious. “Huo Qing Yan.”
Jiang Su had just gotten up to get some water from the kitchen; hearing this, he stumbled and sat back down on the sofa.
This is even more absurd than a CP with Xu Ce!
He snatched Xu Mo Cun’s phone. “#Yan Su CP” (referencing the initials of Huo Qing Yan and Jiang Su) was high on the trending list, surpassing “#Su Shi CP” and “#Su Mo CP”.
Under the topic, someone found a picture of Huo Qing Yan from somewhere and photoshopped it with a picture of Jiang Su.
Both men in the picture wore suits; one deep and reserved, the other clean and ethereal.
The two looked like completely different types, and their gazes weren’t even directed at each other, but rather at a distance, yet they felt strangely harmonious.
【Anyone who says these two don’t match, I’ll eat my keyboard live!】
【Which master photoshopped this picture? You can’t say there’s no trace of photoshopping; it looks like a real photo!】
【This temperament, this appearance, it’s simply amazing!! Sisters, feel free; I’m lying flat at the bottom of the pit! Even if Huo Qing Yan wants to hunt me down, I won’t get up!!】
【Is this the legendary million-dollar photoshopper? Amazing! I’m convinced!】
【Sensible people have already gone to the civil affairs bureau…】
【Hello everyone, I’ve just climbed the wall from “Su Mo CP,” do I go through the process or start shipping directly?】
【The people who shipped Lin Si Yue and Huo Qing Yan before are blind, right? Does Lin Si Yue compare to Jiang Su?】
This comment caught the attention of Lin Si Yue and Huo Qing Yan’s CP fans.
After Huo Qing Yan posted a clarifying Weibo post, the “Academic Power Couple” CP fans dared not speak up anymore; they already had resentment in their hearts, and now Huo Qing Yan was paired up with Jiang Su, which gave them an opportunity to vent.
Both sides started a direct fight.
The two sides engaged in an all-round comparison of Jiang Su and Lin Si Yue’s appearance, education, and family background:
【Lin Si Yue is an academic overachiever, a returned overseas doctoral student!】
【Wow, so amazing, our Jiang Su only scored a mere seven hundred on his college entrance exam, while your academic overachiever scored six hundred and fifty, right?】
The “Academic Power Couple” CP fans had boasted about Lin Si Yue’s college entrance exam score of 695 a long time ago.
Although the college entrance exam score was slightly lower than Jiang Su’s, the “Academic Power Couple” CP fans did not give up.
【Jiang Su is ugly!】
【If you can find an ugly photo of Jiang Su, we’ll admit defeat.】
The “Academic Power Couple” CP fans had been chasing Jiang Su online to scold him before, but no one had called Jiang Su ugly.
Because they simply couldn’t find an ugly photo of Jiang Su.
【Lin Si Yue comes from a prominent family, Jiang Su is a money-grubbing poor guy!】
【So, your main account is constantly posting about Huo Qing Yan, not to network, get resources, and make money?】
“Academic Power Couple” CP fans: Damn.
Are the “#Yan Su CP” fans all master debaters?
The furious “Academic Power Couple” CP fans, realizing they couldn’t win a head-on fight, resorted to vicious insults against the “Yan Su” CP fans.
The “Yan Su” CP fans naturally fought back with insults of their own.
Jiang Su watched, dumbfounded, as the two groups of CP fans clashed.
He returned the phone to Xu Mo Cun and fell into thought.
Xu Mo Cun thought Jiang Su was unhappy because he was involved with Huo Qing Yan again, so he comforted him, “We’ll subtly clarify that you have nothing to do with Huo Qing Yan, and those CP fans will probably calm down.”
“I just feel…” Jiang Su looked at Xu Mo Cun, unsure how to express himself.
He had just given Huo Qing Yan a harsh warning—a qualified ex-partner should be like they’re dead.
Huo Qing Yan should be very averse to this kind of thing.
He even clarified on Weibo before that he had nothing to do with Lin Si Yue.
And now, Huo Qing Yan was being forcibly paired with him as a CP by netizens.
It felt like he was riding on Huo Qing Yan’s popularity.
It felt… pretty face-slapping.
Xu Mo Cun waited for a long time, seeing that Jiang Su didn’t continue, he asked, “Feel what?”
Jiang Su touched his face. “My face hurts.”
Xu Mo Cun: “??”
He felt that Su Su had become increasingly profound and inscrutable after the divorce.
…
Qingyang Grand Hotel.
This was Huo Qing Yan’s third dinner party of the day.
A large table of people whose names he couldn’t remember.
Their conversations were hushed.
Even when speaking to him and toasting, they spoke with cautious probing.
Huo Qing Yan’s patience finally ran out. He picked up his cigarette case and stood up. “I’ll go smoke a cigarette, excuse me.”
It was a polite phrase, but no one dared to truly reciprocate the politeness. They all stood up, their attitudes respectful. “CEO Huo, please go ahead.”
As soon as he left, everyone in the private room breathed a sigh of relief.
“CEO Huo rarely attends dinner parties. What’s going on today? I heard he’s already been to two dinner parties before this…”
“Who knows, finally gone.”
“That’s right, he was sitting next to me just now, I didn’t dare speak loudly.”
“His aura is strong; even stronger than Huo Zhen Heng…”
The private room was well-soundproofed; once the door was closed, all the sounds were cut off.
…
After leaving the stuffy private room, Huo Qing Yan’s expression eased slightly.
He found a corner in the smoking area, sat down, and slowly lit a cigarette.
During this time, three waiters and two guests passed by.
Huo Qing Yan didn’t look up, but he could feel them looking at him as they passed.
This situation was common.
Huo Qing Yan didn’t pay attention at first.
But after he finished a cigarette, he noticed that more waiters were passing by, and realized something was wrong.
According to hotel rules, the smoking area didn’t need this many waiters.
Were these people coming to see him on purpose?
Huo Qing Yan pondered for a moment, took out his phone, and opened Weibo.
Zhou Fu had said that checking the hot search list on Weibo could show you the latest entertainment news.
As soon as he opened Weibo, it showed a new message notification of “999+”.
Opening the hot search list, he immediately saw the trending topic: #Yan Su CP#.
He quickly understood what was going on.
Finally, his gaze stopped on the photoshopped picture of him and Jiang Su.
He happened to have someone around him with such extraordinary photoshopping skills.
Huo Qing Yan expressionlessly took out his phone and called Zhou Fu.
At this time, Zhou Fu was sprawled on the sofa at home.
With a bucket of potato chips in his left hand and his phone in his right, he was liking comments under the #Yan Su CP# hot search that praised the quality of the photoshopped picture of Jiang Su and Huo Qing Yan.
Seeing that it was Huo Qing Yan calling, he almost immediately sat up straight. “CEO Huo?”
