Chapter 200: Paparazzi

Chapter 200

As a private detective, Zhong Ruanxing's whereabouts were very secretive. He looked ordinary and had no memorable features, which also made his work more convenient - after all, it was harder to leave an impression that way.

After that phone call, he never contacted Song JinXing again, like a fish that had sunk into the ocean, disappearing without a trace in an instant.

Leave professional matters to professionals, Song JinXing did not participate any further, only needing to quietly wait for news, so as not to startle the snake by trampling on the grass.

Life seemed to not have changed much, Song JinXing was still shooting his TV series, and occasional paparazzi shots of the filming location would cause a wave of trending online, maintaining the popularity of Letters with You.

Zhong Ruanxing still went to bed and got up early every day, working hard to play the domineering president role. Her professional capabilities were rapidly improving through practice. Sometimes when she couldn't reach Song JinXing, she could handle some project issues herself.

The spring in the capital city was always very short. It seemed like in the blink of an eye, the hot summer had arrived.

The summer vacation lineup finally arrived, and the much-anticipated Floating Voice Song also went online on schedule. After The Spy had crossed the 1 billion RMB mark at the box office, Zhong Ruanxing's first TV drama as the female lead also caught fire, with over 2% viewership on the first day of release.

The audience was completely shocked by Zhong Ruanxing's acting skills in playing two roles. Although they were the same person, with the same face, when the TV drama used special effects to put the two characters on screen together, no one would feel they were the same person.

This was even easier to distinguish than twins! The eyes, smile, subtle expressions were all completely different. They were clearly two people with completely different personalities and experiences!

How on earth did Zhong Ruanxing do it?

Her acting skills are just too amazing!

The wildly praised Zhong Ruanxing herself was browsing Weibo and revealed an awkward smile.

Hmph, this was probably her golden finger. Now that netizens were praising her to the skies, it looked like she would have to improve her acting skills even more, otherwise she wouldn't be able to justify herself if her acting failed one day.

Actors should let their acting skills and works speak for themselves. With the reputation of The Spy and Floating Voice Song, Zhong Ruanxing's status in the industry instantly stabilized. After seven years since her debut, the label of "popular" finally landed on her. Many endorsements and business opportunities came knocking on her door, and she could occasionally see her own billboards when walking down the street.

Song JinXing was still shooting his TV series on set, and didn't have much feeling about this. The ones who felt the impact most clearly were the Zhong family.

Even Zhong You was asked by his classmates for his sister's autograph!

It wasn't a secret that Zhong Ruanxing had a little sister in kindergarten. Back when she wasn't popular, she would often come to pick up Zhong You from school, and many parents of the children knew her. After all, beauty like hers would be unforgettable after seeing it just once.

The paparazzi were determined to dig up exclusive scoops about Zhong Ruanxing, but they stubbornly interviewed several more aunties and uncles coming in and out of the compound to no avail. Everyone's attitude was very consistent - not only did they fail to dig up any dirt, they ended up being lectured by the aunties and uncles on how good of a person Zhong Ruanxing was.

This was just unbelievable! How could someone have such good relationships with everyone? Not a single person had anything bad to say about her! How did Zhong Ruanxing accomplish this???

Of course the paparazzi didn't understand the deep influence Zhong Ruanxing had in this neighborhood after growing up here since childhood, getting along with all the neighbors and winning them over with her perfect personality.

The paparazzi left disappointedly empty-handed. Zhong Dad also called his eldest daughter to tell her about the paparazzi that almost tailed them into the compound today.

Hearing this on the phone, Song JinXing frowned and pondered for a moment before saying: "Dad, let's move. The old compound is no longer suitable for us to live in, security and privacy can't be guaranteed. We blocked the paparazzi today, but we may not be able to block sasaeng fans next time."

Zhong Dad was originally a little reluctant to move, but after Song JinXing spent two minutes explaining to him what sasaeng fans were, he immediately nodded in agreement.

Song JinXing had also only recently been informed about what sasaeng fans were. That kind of all-pervasive, extremely pathological stalker was more like a peeping tom. The old compound was definitely not suitable to live in anymore. Fortunately, when they had switched identities earlier, he had bought a large flat in Four Seasons Cloud Top in the city center. It was even bigger than what the Zhong family was living in now, perfect for the whole family to live in.

After discussing, he called Zhong Ruanxing to tell her about this. The next day, Zhong Ruanxing brought people over to move her own family.

Four Seasons Cloud Top had everything around it, with people coming regularly to clean, so they could move right in.

Zhong Dad had been anxious all night, paranoid after learning about sasaeng fans, constantly getting up to check the door. It wasn't until he saw his capable son-in-law standing outside the door early next morning that he finally relaxed.

"Xiao Song, thank you for the trouble."

Zhong Ruanxing smiled and said, "No trouble at all Uncle, we're all family!"

Zhong Dad felt even fonder of his son-in-law now. He hesitated and said: "Xiao Song, when do you have time... should we arrange for me to meet your grandfather and grandmother?"

The fact that the socially anxious Zhong Dad made this offer showed how extremely satisfied he was with this son-in-law.

In the past, Zhong Ruanxing would have readily agreed.

But now, thinking of the unresolved truth, she could only say: "Let's discuss it again after Xing finishes shooting this drama and comes back."

Zhong Dad didn't suspect anything and nodded.
