The netizens even specially made a topic on Weibo, which was to analyze the similarities between the female lead of “The Return of the Crimson Child”, Xu Yu, and Gu Xiao.
[Look at this. The original fake daughter knew that Xu Yu’s original educational resources were not good, and she even forced Xu Yu to bet with her results when Xu Yu was doing badly. Doesn’t it sound very familiar that Xu Yu would drop out of school and leave if she lost? Hadn’t Gu Xiao and Ji Yao made a bet as well? Moreover, it was later revealed that Gu Xiao won, but Ji Yao did not leave her original class! Isn’t it exactly the same?!]
[This is Gu Xiao and Ji Yao’s classmate, coming out anonymously to answer. There was indeed such a thing. At that time, it also caused a huge impact in our school, but because there was someone backing Ji Yao, it was left unsettled in the end.]
[No way! Is ‘The Return of the Crimson Child’ really based on Gu Xiao?]
With this serious matter, the netizens were in an uproar. The viewership ratings of “The Return of the Crimson Child” also soared.
When “The Return of the Crimson Child” had aired midway, the Central Television Station’s viewership ratings had already reached 3.4, which was enough to leave other television stations in the dust.
However, as further plot details was broadcasted, the netizens online immediately began to be confused again.
In addition to the real and fake daughters in the beginning and the grudges inside the wealthy family, in the middle, details that Gu Xiao had specially arranged, such as legitimate and illegitimate children, and cancer were gradually broadcasted.
At this moment, the comments online suddenly changed direction.
[Now, we can prove that Xu Yu in “The Return of the Crimson Child” was not written based Gu Xiao! Although I’m not familiar with the Ji Group and think that Jiang He treated Gu Xiao badly, as far as I know, Ji Gao cares a lot about Jiang He! They can be said to be the model couple in the wealthy circle! How can such a thing as an illegitimate child happen with Ji Gao!]
[For the sake of that stupid woman Jiang He, Ji Gao didn’t even divorce Jiang He after the Ji Group’s shares were shaken because of her, let alone have an illegitimate child.]
[Everyone has seen it clearly now. It’s better not to imagine the people in the television drama into reality! I think this doesn’t seem to be very good for Gu Xiao and Ji Gao. It’s better to watch the drama in peace!]
[Ahhh! You’re all discussing this. Could it be that no one is discussing the plot of the television drama ‘The Return of the Crimson Child’?! 1 originally thought that it would be a melodramatic television drama, but I didn’t expect it to be so exciting even if it was melodramatic! I originally didn’t like this kind of drama, but now, I’m crazy about it! Go and watch ‘The Return of the Crimson Child’! Xu Yu, charge!]
[I don’t want to watch any real feuds between wealthy families. 1 think television dramas are already very good! It’s better to watch television dramas!]
Gu Xiao scrolled through Weibo and watched as the discussion below slowly deviated from the original topic. She did not care and even smiled.
Chu An wrapped his arms around Gu Xiao from behind, then handed the bowl of fruit that he had peeled earlier to her.
“What are you looking at? Why are you so happy?” He lowered his eyes slightly and saw the messages on the other party’s phone clearly. He walked around the sofa and sat down beside Gu Xiao. He looked at the other party’s side profile and raised his eyebrows. “Ji Gao is almost cleared of suspicion. Aren’t you angry?”
Gu Xiao picked up the toothpick that was inserted into the fruit and inserted another piece of mango into her mouth. She narrowed her eyes in satisfaction. She placed her phone aside and completely immersed herself into the fruit Chu An had cut for her.
After hearing Chu An’s words, Gu Xiao shook her head. She raised the toothpick with the fruit in it and waved it around. After eating the fruit in one bite, she explained.
“I don’t want the netizens to discover Ji Gao’s true colours now. I just want to plant a seed of suspicion. When the matter breaks out later, what the netizens say in Ji Gao’s defense now will become a sword that stabs Ji Gao later!”
At that time, the netizens would only think that they had been deceived by Ji Gao and would want to vent their anger. And Ji Gao would become the target of the netizens’ bombardment!
If it erupted now, it would be far less of a threat to Ji Gao than if it happened later.
Therefore, the current scene was what she was more willing to see..
