Chapter 33 Public Opinion Troubles
Yuska rubbed her eyes. "What happened?"

She sounded completely unconcerned, as if it were mostly none of her business anyway.

To everyone's surprise, Jiang Lingyu grabbed her arm and said, "You're trending on social media."

Yu Sijia thought she was hallucinating, but the next moment, when Jiang Lingyu placed the laptop in front of her, Yu Sijia's previously dazed mind became much clearer.

Saying she trended on social media isn't quite accurate; it's more accurate to say she suffered an undeserved misfortune.

The show attracted a large audience, including VIC members like You Sijia and Jiang Lingyu, who consistently sit in the best viewing spots and contribute significantly to the brand's annual sales. Other attendees included industry designers and celebrities, who also play a role in promoting the brand. The final group consisted of a small number of top-tier online influencers.

These people may not have the influence of celebrities, and at most they may be brand VIPs, but they are all proud to be able to attend such high-end shows. While attending, many of them will also live stream, post photos, and earn traffic.

You Sijia is now trending on social media because a Chinese internet celebrity with millions of followers posted a set of photos featuring celebrities.

In that photo, the camera was clearly pointed at the celebrity in the distance, and she, a tiny person, was in the corner, appearing in the shot by accident.

Yusja almost immediately thought of the somewhat annoying flashes of light she had felt at the fashion show yesterday.

Holding a glass of freshly squeezed pomegranate juice, Jiang Lingyu pulled You Sijia to the sofa in the living room. "This photo was originally intended by that internet celebrity to attract attention, but as the comments section was discussing it, the fans of the two celebrities in the picture started fighting. After the fight went viral, the general public turned against you, and I don't know who discovered you first, but you got dragged into it too."

Jiang Lingyu only learned about this gossip around noon. She woke up early this morning and someone sent her the trending topic, which is how she found out it had become so big.

Yusja was still wearing her pajamas, her hair casually pulled back with a shark clip, and she stared at the photo for a long time.

Seeing that she hadn't reacted for a while, Jiang Lingyu assumed she was very unhappy and comforted her, "It's okay, it's okay. Just let your second son know, and soon your photos won't be online anymore..."

"What do they mean?" Yusi Jia suddenly interrupted Jiang Lingyu's words of comfort, as if she hadn't heard them.

Before Jiang Lingyu could react to what You Sijia meant by "what she meant," she soon heard what You Sijia said next.

"Why shouldn't I be in the center position?!"

Jiang Lingyu: "???"

She turned her head, looking at the person next to her with a confused expression.

Seeing that the latter still looked indignant, Jiang Lingyu couldn't help but reach out and touch her forehead.

Are you okay?
Yuska was indeed furious. Looking at the tiny corner she occupied in the photo, she almost laughed in anger.

Yuska said seriously, "Delete it."

After holding back for a moment, Jiang Lingyu finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The young lady wasn't upset by what people said online, but she was angry because she wasn't in the center of the photo and only occupied a small corner. It sounds a bit absurd, but if this happened to Yusjia, it seems quite normal.

Jiang Lingyu knew why the second son of the You family was so unconditionally accommodating to the person in front of him. There was no way around it; she also found You Sijia incredibly adorable, even in her current aggressive glare at the photo on the computer screen.

"Don't you get angry about what people say online?" Jiang Lingyu asked.

Yusja paused, then turned her head, "There are still people online criticizing me?!"

Her tone conveyed utter shock. "I didn't do anything," Yustya said, looking aggrieved.

Jiang Lingyu: "..."

She thought it was fine this way; if the young lady didn't see it, she didn't see it, and she couldn't be bothered by the annoying chatter online.

Just as Jiang Lingyu was about to put the computer away, You Sijia reached out and grabbed her.

"I want to see," Yustya said sullenly.

Jiang Lingyu didn't let go. "I had someone delete those words, why are you looking at these?"

"No." Yustya didn't let go either, her gaze unwavering.

Jiang Lingyu couldn't persuade her otherwise, so she finally had to let go.

The two women arguing in the photo are actually two popular actresses, one a rising star in China and the other a member of a South Korean girl group.

As luck would have it, that popular female celebrity in China is Zhou Qichun.

"Can't you fans have some self-awareness? Your idols' cooking is terrible even when it's all done on its own, and you still dare to boast about your talent?"

"Zhou Lv's fans dare to compare their faces with our Xiaobao's? At least our Xiaobao's face is in the top 100 most beautiful faces in the world, right?"

"Ha! A fake ranking? Only you K-pop fans would actually take this seriously, right? You think this self-contained, self-amusing thing is authoritative? When the two of them are in the same frame, whoever looks worse is the one who feels awkward, okay? Everyone knows that your idols are only not so bad because of makeup and lighting. When they sit next to our Junko, anyone with eyes can see that your idol is completely outclassed, okay?"

At first, it was indeed a fan war between the two sides, but later, some random passerby couldn't stand it anymore and quietly posted a Weibo on the public square.

[Oranges are the only fruit in the world: A passerby commented that the young lady in the bottom right corner of the photo is prettier than the two celebrities mentioned in the caption.]

The feud between a popular domestic actress and a current member of an international girl group generates a level of online buzz that surpasses that of typical social topics.

After this passerby posted this Weibo post, many people quickly echoed it in the comments.

"I also saw that girl. Although it was just her profile, I have to say her bone structure is absolutely stunning."

"I don't know what's there to discuss between a surgically enhanced face and a rich second-generation heir with terrible acting skills who just wants to make money. I also think it's better to look at the girl in the photo below."

"I'm not a fan of either of them, but I'm also on this girl's side. She's stunning at first glance. So beautiful, but she looks so unfamiliar. I've never seen her before, and I don't think she's in any of the red carpet photos?"

A passerby spoke out for an unknown "passerby," and some netizens even used very strong language, which may have been intentional or unintentional. While praising Yousijia, they also criticized the protagonist of the topic, which inevitably triggered a tsunami.

"I guess she's some obscure internet celebrity. Isn't it normal for her to be unknown?"

"Sitting in such a remote spot, she's not a celebrity, just an ordinary person, right? What, nowadays, ordinary people can compare to our Junko in looks? That's hilarious. There's a big difference between ordinary people and celebrities, and I hope everyone knows that."

"I don't think the other person has any charisma. If they really did, they would have debuted long ago, or they would have become famous by now. They're practically unknown online these days, right? Stop trying to piggyback on my fame."
