Compared to Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou’s sweet and easy life, on the other side, some people who had done bad things were gradually facing repercussions.
When Jiang Xiaoran saw the will released by Sheng’an Company, she knew her influencer dream had cooled.
Previously, when Jiang Xiaoran posted videos online, she leaked her personal information, and her family’s identities were quickly dug up by netizens.
Various insults were incessant.
Not just Jiang Xiaoran, her father Jiang Tianli and brother Jiang Wen were also affected.
Originally at work, Jiang Tianli and Jiang Wen, who was at school, had to take leave and return home because they couldn’t stand the mocking and jabbing looks and jokes from those around them.
Upon knowing it was because of Jiang Xiaoran’s video causing such trouble online, Jiang Tianli slapped Jiang Xiaoran hard on the face, demanding she resolve the issue quickly, or none of them could live this way!
Jiang Xiaoran’s face was swollen from Jiang Tianli’s hit, but she dared not talk back to her father.
She was secretly annoyed that when she talked about using Jiang Ning’s fame to become an influencer, everyone in the family knew and didn’t oppose her, clearly thinking of the money she’d make once she succeeded.
Now, just because she failed, they put all the blame on her!
Jiang Xiaoran locked herself in her room.
Her phone number had been exposed online, with people constantly texting and calling her. After turning off her phone, Jiang Xiaoran hadn’t powered it on since.
Holding her grandma’s phone, she contacted Huo Miao, pleading for help.
Huo Miao on the other end of the call was furious!
She shouldn’t have trusted Jiang Xiaoran so easily, such a useless person!
She had wasted so much effort and money, had even hired marketing accounts to direct traffic to Jiang Xiaoran while using trolls to slander Jiang Ning in her videos.
It was all collapsed by one video from Sheng’an!
Sheng’an and Ah Ning gained a million followers in just one day!
These were real, active followers!
Thinking of her exhausting efforts ultimately made Jiang Ning’s career thrive, Huo Miao was so angry she could spit blood.
"I haven’t even called to question you, yet you dare contact me?" Huo Miao yelled in anger, "Why didn’t you say before that she had a will and a company in her hand!"
Huo Miao always thought the inheritance Jiang Ning got was cash or a passbook the elder saved up for lifelong frugality.
With that, regardless if the money in Jiang Ning’s hand was willingly given by the elder, Huo Miao could have used trolls to twist facts.
Who knew there was not only a judicial will but also an actual company!
"I, I didn’t know... My grandma and they didn’t tell me..." Jiang Xiaoran said somewhat guiltily.
"Didn’t tell you, yet you told me facedown that Jiang Ning robbed your family’s fortune?" Huo Miao didn’t want to waste words: "Don’t contact me again! Die!"
After speaking, Huo Miao directly hung up the phone.
When Jiang Xiaoran called back, she found she was already blocked by Huo Miao.
For Jiang Xiaoran, the journey from heaven to hell seemed just a few hours.
She searched her Douyin account, finding she still had over fifty thousand followers.
She opened the comments section and saw many netizens cursing her, more mocking her:
[Where’s the blogger?]
[Hilarious, the blogger cried about Jiang Ning stealing her family’s money, and in response, Sheng’an said it’s the inheritance left by Grandpa Jiang for Jiang Ning, hahahaha, why does it feel a little gratifying?]
[Tsk tsk, what’s up with the blogger? Hurry and continue updating, keep crying, I’m curious what else you can spin.]
[Stop cursing, stop cursing, everyone stop cursing. Such a big company, if Grandpa Jiang said to gift it, it’s hard for anyone to bear it. The blogger is still young, crying out once is normal, everyone try to be more understanding...]
Seeing the last sentence, Jiang Xiaoran’s eyes lit up, and her mind instantly had an idea.
She always wanted to be an influencer; if she hadn’t tasted the sweetness of traffic, it would’ve been okay. But just one video, one, and she gained fifty to sixty thousand followers! Who can resist the temptation?
Isn’t it said negative fame is still fame? She’ll pursue the negative fame route!
Jiang Ning used to be cursed so terribly, didn’t she turn it around later!
If Jiang Ning can do it, she wouldn’t be any worse!
By then, even with people begging forgiveness on their knees, she wouldn’t forgive!
Suddenly stimulated by her imagined scenario, Jiang Xiaoran felt invigorated as if pumped with adrenaline.
She picked up the mirror on the table, seeing her swollen cheeks from the recent hit looked particularly miserable, she felt inspired.
She powered on her phone, turned on ’Do Not Disturb’ mode, and set to reject calls from unknown numbers.
Then Jiang Xiaoran began recording a video.
After recording, she first watched it once, then logged into Douyin and posted it online.
In the video, Jiang Xiaoran kowtowed in apology to the vast audience, claiming her age was still young, not very aware of past matters, led astray by adult words, obscured by Yunyun. She sincerely apologized to Jiang Ning, claiming she’d never speak ill of Jiang Ning ever again.
When she was arrogantly bold, netizens disliked her; when she was pitifully apologetic, netizens were confounded.
Though some saw through Jiang Xiaoran’s pretentious act, Jiang Xiaoran found that some in the comments section replied for her, speaking on her behalf!
Jiang Xiaoran decided to frequently update with tragic daily videos, like poverty setups or Cinderella setups disadvantaged by male preference, or collective bullying by classmates, etc.
The information online is immense, and netizens’ focus isn’t solely on one spot.
After the program team announced ending the live broadcast online, many netizens expressed wishes to continue watching, hoping Shen Zha and the others would resume live streaming after the natural disaster passed or switch locations to stream with guests, reassuring their support.
However, the situation was shattered by a leaked photo completely destroying netizens’ hopes.
A netizen from Capital City disclosed spotting a suspected program team vehicle at the airport today at noon, capturing a video.
In the video, Shen Zha alighted from the vehicle, along with Xue Lin, Hao Meng, Ji He, and other guests and backstage personnel from the program team.
Everyone was pushing their luggage, carrying their backpacks, walking slowly into the airport.
Sharp-eyed netizens identifying the guests from the video quickly confirmed their identities.
[Aah, heartbroken, they’ve already left Sanwan Village and are flying back to Capital City.]
[Sigh, seems the show is indeed axed, what a pity!]
[Eh, where’s Jiang Ning?]
[Yeah, haven’t seen Jiang Ning yet]
[Blind guess, is Jiang Ning secretly handling big matters again behind our backs?]
[Haha, wrong guess, Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou are together, hehe, shopping beautifully at Golden Sand Square, I’ve spotted them.]
[??? I don’t believe]
[Sis, show evidence while you talk]
[Sure, sure, I posted the video, everyone come to my homepage to watch. Nicely pinned for you all, hmph]
[...Won’t be some catch-all advertisement, right?]
[OMG! It actually is true!]
