Chapter 1346 - Walking In The Backlight (22)

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Fenghua pulled off a counterattack within a day, much to everyone’s surprise.

How did it happen?

Wasn’t it so miserable in the first two days?

Through the netizens’ unremitting efforts, they finally found the source.

It was one of the anti-fans. On the second day the drama was on the air, she wanted to watch it and found more points to curse her.

And it turned out in an unexpected way: she actually liked it. Then she went back quickly to catch up on the first two episodes.

Then, this anti-fan wrote a drama review.

The key was, this anti-fan was one of the leaders of the anti-fan army. As soon as she posted the review, it caused great dissatisfaction.

You are an anti-fan, how can you speak for her?! 

Are you sure you are not a spy among us?!

So, some unconvinced anti-fans also went to watch the drama, trying to refute the anti-fan with well-founded arguments.

Naturally, the result was they didn’t find what they were looking for; instead, they fell into Ming Shu’s pit themselves.

Gradually, more and more anti-fans went to watch it.

That was the reason for the ratings boom on the third day.

The ratings continued to rise over the next few days, hitting the new highest ratings record.

When the story came to Fenghua jumping off the cliff, the male protagonist turned to meet the secondary female, and they seemed to be exuding tenderness and love through their eyes.

The audience: “???”

After watching that, many audience members grouped together to argue with the scriptwriter and Luo Kai, the male protagonist.

[Scum! How can you treat my Fenghua like that! Ying ying ying!]

[When I read the book before… Why didn’t I realize that the male protagonist is scum?]

[Even though Luo Kai and Hu Xin are dating each other in real life, they are in the drama now. This is not dedicated at all.]

[Dizi’s acting skill has always been good. I may boast that for a long time!]

The first part that Luo Kai acted in was fine, but after what happened to him with the rope thing, his state was not so good.

For the latter part, it was almost all relying on Ming Shu’s acting skills.

The part where the male protagonist met the supporting female after the cliff jump was shot earlier, when Luo Kai and Hu Xin’s relationship was first exposed.

To be honest, the two acted okay for that part, and the director thought so as well.

But when it was specially taken out and analyzed, everyone just thought the two were too unprofessional in the show.

Regardless, Fenghua was soon popular.

Meanwhile, Gu Xi’s drama lost people’s attention all of a sudden, as if the whole world was occupied by Fenghua.

Some people in the circle commented: Because of anti-fans, and thanks to anti-fans.

[Wen Di V: I knew you’d be conquered by my acting skills!]

[Just pick up the face you dropped quickly!]

[This doesn’t stop us from disliking you!]

Many others below followed the trend and cursed her still. The remarks were just similar as usual.

With familiar recipes, and familiar taste.

…

However, just as Fenghua was on the air with promising ratings…

Some influencer suddenly revealed Wen Di’s identity on the Internet. Things like how her mother had shamelessly married into a rich family were all exposed.

The long Weibo post contained countless words in details, as if the writer had witnessed all the things personally.

[With such a mother, no wonder she would do something like that. Like mother, like daughter.]

[Another big show about rich families! Interesting!]

[Is this Gu family the same as Gu Xi’s Gu family? They are sisters?]

[The blogger said Wen Di came to the Gu family with her mother, so Gu Xi is the Gu family’s real young miss.]

[Did she reach her present position relying on the Gu family all these years?]

[I thought she made it with her own efforts, but didn’t expect she also has a background, chut…]

[Wen Di V: The more you know, the more you’ll like me. I’ll just conquer you with my acting skills!]

Then, Ming Shu gained another batch of real anti-fans.

Ming Shu stared at the comments from all kinds of people and thought about it for a moment. Someone that could do this was either Gu Xi or Cui Jingyang.

Mother Wen had long known Father Gu, and the two almost married each other secretly. But without warning, Father Gu then married a rich and powerful young miss, Gu Xi’s mother.

Mother Wen was heartbroken, so she left the city and also got married.

Later, Wen Di’s father passed away, and Mother Wen met Father Gu again.

Coincidentally, Father Gu’s wife also passed away, so the two walked together.

But Father Gu disliked Wen Di very much. He probably thought that she was Mother Wen and another man’s daughter and just didn’t want to see her.

But Ming Shu thought he really needed to realize that he also had a daughter with someone else.

The fact was, Father Gu pursued Mother Wen hard, the latter had a soft heart and had always liked the former, so Mother Wen agreed to marry into the Gu family.

But now it became that Mother Wen used unpresentable means to marry into a rich family.

The news must have influenced Mother Wen very much, but Mother Wen didn’t call her, so Ming Shu wouldn’t take the initiative.

She had an advertisement to shoot today.

Liang Che sent her over. Those reporters may have gotten the information from somewhere and all waited for her there.

Ming Shu looked at those people in the distance, then asked Liang Che while raising her eyebrows, “Young brother, don’t you want to have an exclusive interview with me? Keep the goodies within the family!”

Liang Che felt a sudden impulse. He pulled Ming Shu over and gave her a kiss. “I’ll go lead them away, then come back to pick you up when you’re finished.”

Liang Che stuffed some snacks to her.

Ming Shu smiled beamingly. “You are so great, young brother.”

I’m great because I give you food, and if I don’t, I’m just a sculpture that you don’t even want to look at. 

So why exactly did she keep him?

Liang Che got out of the car to lead those reporters away, feeling complicated. At least he was one of them, and succeeded in leading them aside easily.

Ming Shu received Mother Wen’s call before she could even finish the makeup.

Mother Wen’s voice was as weak as floating air over the phone, and Ming Shu didn’t hear clearly what she was saying.

Ming Shu communicated with the employer and then got away immediately.

“Why are you coming back so fast?”

Liang Che hadn’t left. He was a little surprised to see Ming Shu get back into the car.

“Go to the Gu family.”

Liang Che started the car and asked, “What happened?”

“Wen… My mother didn’t seem right.”

On the way to the Gu family, she called Mother Wen again but no one answered.

No one answered the villa’s phone, either.

The Gu family had its gates shut. Ming Shu didn’t have a key and had to break in.

As soon as Ming Shu got inside, she saw Mother Wen lying at the bottom of the stairs with fresh blood beneath her.

Liang Che was startled. He looked at Ming Shu.

Ming Shu’s expression didn’t change dramatically, as if the one lying on the ground was not her mother, but a common stranger.

Ming Shu walked over and felt Mother Wen’s pulse first.

“How is it?”

“Still breathing.” Ming Shu checked on Mother Wen and didn’t find any wounds.

She intended to help Mother Wen up and send her to the hospital.

“Let me.” Liang Che pulled her aside. “You drive.”

Ming Shu didn’t refuse. She went to drive the car and sent her mother to the nearest hospital.

They were kept out of the first aid room.

Liang Che reached out to hold her in his arms. “It’s okay.”

Ming Shu looked at the light in the first aid room and didn’t say anything.

The light suddenly went off with a pa noise.

The doctor came out. “The child is gone, but the adult is fine.”

Ming Shu was guessing that it might be an abortion, but she didn’t expect it to be true.

Mother Wen was originally pregnant at a more mature age, now she suffered from abortion. If they hadn’t sent her here in time, she might have also died.

Liang Che went to go through the formalities. Ming Shu and Mother Wen went back to the patient’s room together.

Mother Wen didn’t wake up until nighttime.

Ming Shu was focusing on her phone. She looked up and put down her phone, walking over. “How do you feel now?”

“Little Di…”

Mother Wen moved her lips and sounded hoarse.

“Where am I?”

“The hospital.”
