171: Chapter 171 topped the trending search list so much that it crashed the internet.

Those slender, waist-snatching curves, those proudly displayed peaks tightly wrapped in fabric, and the jade-like legs that appeared and disappeared through the slits as they walked...

These five women looked like beauties who had stepped right out of an old Republic-era pictorial, breathtakingly stunning, each with her own unique charm.

Shortly after, the family of six took their seats in front of the grand chairs placed upon a Persian rug.

Lin Chen sat firmly in the center spot, with Yang Mi, Dilraba, and Liu Shishi seated in order to his right.

To his left were Tong Liya and Guli Nazha.

As the lights fell, the scene was ancient and fragrant, dignified, elegant, and exquisitely beautiful.

With the six of them sitting there, there was no need for the photographer to give any posing instructions; their natural aura and stunning looks left the female photographer completely stunned.

She was trembling with excitement as she held her camera.

In her over ten years in the industry, this was the easiest and most perfect group portrait she had ever shot!

This wasn't just a family photo; this was a masterpiece in the making!

The faces of these six people had no dead angles from any of the 360 degrees; every shutter click resulted in a blockbuster image.

The second set of outfits changed to a modern urban style.

Lin Chen changed into a custom-tailored slim-fit black suit, looking every bit like a domineering CEO.

The five women all changed into minimalist, high-end white evening gowns.

The positioning remained unchanged, still following the pattern of stars surrounding the moon.

For the third set, everyone changed back into the casual everyday clothes they had arrived in.

This time, they weren't sitting stiffly.

The photographer arranged for Lin Chen to lounge lazily on the sofa, while the five women surrounded him like gentle little kittens.

Some lay on his knees, others leaned on his shoulders, and some even struck affectionate kissing poses.

The scene was warm, natural, and filled with a scent of "dog food" that made people insanely jealous.

They only did three sets of looks, but it took over an hour of fussing.

Of course, this was just the final selected plan.

In reality, the photographer's shutter button was almost smoking from pressing it so much, and she had shot hundreds of negatives.

The nine photos that were carefully selected in the end were from these three sets, which were different in style but equally stunning.

As soon as the photos were ready, Dilraba couldn't wait to snatch Lin Chen's phone, log into his dusty Weibo account, and post the complete set of nine family photos.

The caption was extremely arrogant: "A day in the life of our family, don't @ us ~"

After posting, the five women quickly took out their own phones and used their respective accounts with tens of millions of followers to uniformly repost Lin Chen's Weibo, adding heart emojis.

After completing this flashy maneuver that was enough to cause a major earthquake in the entertainment industry, the family refreshed themselves by returning to Yang Mi's office for tea, preparing to head to the recording studio later for the real work—recording songs.

And during the time they were drinking tea, the online world outside had completely exploded into a pot of boiling eight-treasure porridge!

Countless media reporters, paparazzi, and netizens waiting in front of their screens frantically flooded the comment sections of Lin Chen and the five women's Weibo accounts.

In less than ten short minutes!

This Weibo post officially announcing the family photo saw its reposts and comments skyrocket like a rocket, both powerfully breaking through the 300,000 mark!

The popularity reached an appalling level.

Without any suspense, the entry #Lin Chen's First Family Photo Reveal# landed directly at the top of the Weibo trending list, followed by a bright red "Explosive" tag!

The entire network crashed for half a minute.

"Holy sh*t, holy sh*t, holy sh*t! I never thought I'd live to see Teacher Lin post such a treat voluntarily! This nine-grid photo set is too top-tier! It's killing everyone, men and women, young and old. Brothers, lick the screen for me!"

"This is too perfect! This level of beauty is just leaving no room for anyone else to live. I'm drinking this bowl of aged dog food! It's damn delicious!"

"I'm officially envious of Teacher Lin. So, a life with one husband and five wives can actually be this harmonious and happy. I'm going to go discuss this with my wife... (Brothers, what's the number for emergency services again?)"

"Take care, brother above. Friendly reminder to all my fellow men: don't be impulsive! Polygamy is indeed great, but the prerequisite is that you must first have Teacher Lin's heaven-defying looks, talent, and... you know, physical stamina. Not every man is named Lin Chen!"

"These people are f*cking beauty monsters! If they have kids, how excellent would those genes be?"

"Case closed, family! Just look at the seating arrangement! Big Mimi is definitely the main wife! She is sitting firmly in the C-position on Teacher Lin's right hand! If anyone disagrees, I'll livestream myself eating sh*t while doing a handstand!"

"Hahahaha! My Dilraba can actually be this dignified and elegant in a cheongsam! It's truly a case of a cold goddess when she doesn't speak, and a silly foodie when she does! Love her to death!"

"Oh no, my goddess Shishi, why are you so uncompetitive! How did you get squeezed to the very edge? Your palace intrigue skills need improvement!"

"Lin the Dog, come out! How is a nine-grid set enough to see? Are there any more negatives? Don't force me to kneel and beg you, hurry up and hand them over!"

This wave of popularity not only shook the entire fan circle, but various celebrities, big names, friends, and relatives in the entertainment industry also stepped in to repost, like, and offer their blessings.

Song Dandan: "Oh my, look at this family of handsome men and beautiful women. As the saying goes, 'birds of a feather flock together,' this is just too pleasing to the eyes! Children, you must live well together in the future!"

Huang Bo: "Yo! Teacher Lin is living quite the comfortable life, he's even arranged a family photo. Not bad, not bad, that imposing sitting posture, he's got the air of a head of the household."

Guo Degang: "A talented man and beautiful women, a match made in heaven! Wishing Teacher Lin and all the sisters a harmonious union for a hundred years, growing old together! Most importantly: may you have children soon! More children, more blessings!"

Song Zuer: "Wow! Brother Lin Chen is so handsome! The most handsome in the world! I will not accept any rebuttal!"

Hu Ge: "Yo, you even released an official family photo? When are you setting up a few tables for a wedding? As the brother-in-law, I haven't officially met the groom yet, and I've already prepared the red envelope money!"

He Jiong: "You must be happy! When you have time, bring the groom to play at the Happy Camp, the Happy Family is always welcome!"

Xie Na: "Mimi, Reba, Shishi, Yaya, Nazar, you guys are too mean! When are you going to give us wedding candy!"

On this day, the traffic of the entire internet was almost sucked dry by this set of family photos from the Lin family.

This kind of combination, filled with conflict and topics of discussion, is absolutely a one-of-a-kind, explosive existence in the global entertainment industry.

Regarding this official announcement, the vast majority of netizens held a mentality of just watching the drama; there were also many rational fans who offered sincere blessings.

Of course, there are shadows beneath the sunlight.

Looking at this blinding family photo, there were plenty of people filled with jealousy and resentment.

For example, those fanatical male fans who regarded the five goddesses as their dream lovers, watching their goddesses smiling like flowers in another man's arms, their hearts were shattered into QR codes.

For example, the rich second-generation heirs like Li Qingfeng and Yang Lihua, who had once pursued Yang Mi and Dilraba, watching the women they couldn't obtain serving Lin Chen like gentle little kittens, were so angry they almost broke their teeth.

And for example... a washed-up singer, Liao Qiang.

"F*ck your grandpa, Lin Chen!"

In a high-end apartment, Liao Qiang's face was livid, his eyes spitting fire as he stared fixedly at the "Lin Chen Family Photo" that firmly held the number one trending spot on his phone screen.

He roared, raised his hand violently, and smashed his phone hard against the floor.

Liao Qiang was a singer who had become famous in his early years through a large-scale talent show.

At his peak, he had won a few Golden Melody Awards, and his status hovered between second-tier and first-tier.

But the entertainment industry changes too fast, and in recent years, he hadn't had any presentable works, so his popularity had long since declined.

He hadn't been on the trending list for several months.

To save his declining popularity, he gritted his teeth and splurged 2.5 million in public relations fees to buy a trending spot.

He also carefully planned a "warm man" stunt of "accidentally meeting a female fan who fell at the airport and personally lowering himself to tie the fan's shoelaces."

Today was the big day his team had planned to hit the top of the trending list and harvest traffic!

The money was spent, the press releases were written, and he had found a bunch of marketing accounts and big influencers to fan the flames behind the scenes.

He saw the throne of the number one trending spot as already in his pocket.

He had even calculated what endorsements he should take after returning to his peak.

But... he calculated everything, considered the timing, the location, and the people, but he didn't calculate that Lin Chen, this unexpected disruptor, would suddenly appear at this moment and release some bullsh*t family photo!

In front of this nuclear-level powerful family photo, his pretentious news of "tying a fan's shoelaces" was simply too idiotic to be worth mentioning.

Let alone the number one trending spot, he couldn't even touch the tail end of the top ten trending list right now; it was directly squeezed into the Pacific Ocean.

That was 2.5 million in real money!

It just made a sound and then vanished into thin air!

How could he not be angry? How could he not hate this?

He now had the urge to eat Lin Chen's flesh raw!

"Could it be because I transferred 2.5 million? Does this number conflict and bring bad luck?!"

Liao Qiang paced back and forth in the room with a gloomy face, getting angrier the more he thought about it.

Suddenly, he kicked over the tea table next to him and roared hysterically: "Lin Chen! You f*cking cut off my financial path! I'm not done with you!"

In this bizarre and motley entertainment industry, there is no love without reason, and even less so, no hate without reason.

Blocking someone's path to wealth is like killing their parents.

Lin Chen probably never dreamed that he would inexplicably forge a mortal enemy just by accompanying his wives to take a photo and posting a Weibo.
