CH 56.2

Bai Zhou was away for quite a while, returning only around half an hour later. In the meantime, Ji Fanyin made her way over to the refrigerator, took out a couple of fruits, and prepared a beautiful fruit platter. She stationed the fruit platter in between the two computers.

Bai Zhou’s refrigerator was oddly full as if he had just gone on a shopping spree. It didn’t take long for Ji Fanyin to figure out what was going on.

He probably thought that he had secured the next two weeks of my reservation, so he prepared the ingredients in advance. 

Bai Zhou’s complexion looked awful. With his phone still in hand, he looked at Ji Fanyin for a moment before explaining, “Someone uploaded the incident in the restaurant yesterday on the internet.”

Ji Fanyin blinked her eyes innocently, “Incident? What happened yesterday?”

Every single one of her ‘Ji Xinxins’ was customized and tailored to her client’s needs. Bai Zhou’s version shouldn’t have known about the events that had happened in Song Shiyu’s version. How could a professional like her possibly mix up different versions of ‘Ji Xinxin’?

Besides… whether something had been uploaded to the internet or not wasn’t that much of a deal to her. 

Whenever her name appeared in a forum in her previous world, the threads would easily stack up to form a skyscraper. She was a veteran who had survived the battlefield many times. 

That mild exchange they had yesterday was no big deal to her. It wouldn’t hurt her in the least. 

If our conversation yesterday got leaked… is the culprit the lady who was doing a mukbang stream? She shouldn’t have been able to catch us in her video given her camera’s angle, so there shouldn’t be any problem here.

Bai Zhou: “…”

He took a deep breath to suppress his anger before continuing on, “Take a look yourself.”

He placed his phone in front of Ji Fanyin, which showed a video recently uploaded by a beauty and food streamer. Ji Fanyin picked up the phone and played the video.

There were no faces in the video and the background was rather noisy, though the streamer’s voice was recorded rather clearly. Even with the volume set to max, one could only vaguely hear the conversation among the three of them. 

Of course, there was no lack of talents amongst netizens. There were already warm-hearted individuals who had transcribed their conversation and posted it in the comment section. 

Ji Fanyin scrolled down to browse through the diverse comments. She thought that they were pretty interesting. 

The video had gone viral on the internet. Since Bai Zhou’s friends were able to recognize his voice, there might be people out there who could recognize all three of their voices… 

… though one shouldn’t forget that Ji Fanyin was working back then. She wasn’t speaking with her usual voice but imitating Ji Xinxin’s speech. 

Even if those who were familiar with the two of them were to stumble upon the video, they would only think that the woman in it was Ji Xinxin. 

This makes things quite interesting. For one, what would the other fishes in Ji Xinxin’s fishery think upon seeing the video?

Or if Ji Xinxin were to see the video herself, what would she deduce from it?

If not for the TPO, Ji Fanyin would have rubbed her hands together to express her anticipation. 

“I’m going to report the video uploader and make her remove the video,” said Bai Zhou with a frown. “This is a violation of my privacy!”

“The video has already been shared so many times. It won’t be easy to remove it now,” said Ji Fanyin as she patted the seat next to her. “There’s no need to go through that much trouble. News comes and goes quickly on the internet. The video will lose steam soon enough.”

How could a video that only contained a couple of voices possibly remain popular for long?

The deep furrow on Bai Zhou’s forehead still showed no signs of loosening. “But others might recognize us through it!”

“Are you worried?” asked Ji Fanyin.

Bai Zhou pulled out the chair and sat down. “I’m not worried about that buffoon Song Shiyu or myself. I’m worried about you!”

“I wouldn’t be worried if I was the woman in the video,” replied Ji Fanyin as she began booting up the game. “Don’t you think that she knows what she’s doing?”

Bai Zhou fell silent. He let out a disdainful snort before reaching out to grab his mouse.
