When the news broke, Jiang Nian had been in the mountains for more than a month. The movie she was acting in this time was a police and bandit movie, and the scene of chasing and fighting in the mountains was top priority, which took a lot of time and energy.

When Jia Ping saw the news and told Jiang Nian, he looked helpless: “These people have nothing to do when they are full, and they dare to write any news in order to gain traffic. Now which big star goes out without wearing good clothes and precious jewelry, it’s just an exaggeration to criticize you for it. Why do they claim that you show off your wealth and your style is extravagant? Also, if you don’t move your parents to a new house, it’s unfilial? Can’t it be that they are simply nostalgic?”

If it was just that, it would be just annoying, and it won’t cause such a large-scale “word of mouth”. The rumors would be that Jiang Nian is not filial, has a sugar daddy, and worships money. But just at that moment, someone else mixed in and said that after Jiang Nian became famous, she especially liked to use her popularity to delay the progress. And so, dissatisfaction and hatred rushed in as if a dam broke, and many famous “teachers of justice” began scolding in high fanfare.

Furthermore, the photos of the community where Jiang Nian’s parents live currently were posted on the Internet, which served as ‘proof” that Jiang Nian did not want to be filial to her parents after she became famous. That community is a decades-old community. The bridal room of Jiang father and mother was in the house they’re living in right now. Jiang Nian is now twenty-eighty-nine. Using simple calculations, their family of three has been living here for at least 30 years. The community is naturally very dilapidated and looks really desolate. Security videos of the neighborhood proved that Jiang Nian’s family is indeed still living there, and thus Jiang Nian has become a typical example of unfilial piety.

Now all kinds of bad rumors about Jiang Nian are spreading loudly and vividly, like a crusade marching forward, armed by the called “solid evidence”.

(T/N: I dunno how many celebrities suffered from slanders like that, but I genuinely feel bad for them. People always just see what they wanna see and ignore everything else, and the bad thing is there’s no one to blame (legally I mean) for such things.)

… Although it was very unfavorable to Jiang Nian, she still saw the excitement with relish.

Although there are many false rumors mixed in, there is one true rumor that she definitely understands very well and acknowledges: she loves big gold very much, and she is very vain and loves luxury!

Jia Ping felt that the only truth that was more or less correct was that there was a big boss behind Jiang Nian.

“Don’t worry, I have asked the studio to issue a statement, saying that you have a good relationship with your family, and that you have lived there for decades without moving because of your parents’ attachment to the place. The hot search has also been withdrawn. This kind of false rumor can be easily solved.”

Jiang Nian snorted but didn’t take it too seriously. After all, such trivial matters wouldn’t disturb her rhythm of making money. Jia Ping also felt that the statement was made and the matter was explained clearly, so the previous public opinion should be suppressed.

But Jia Ping did not expect that not only was this matter not suppressed, but the statement itself became proof of sophistry, and netizens didn’t believe it at all! On the contrary, the slander became more and more intense. Jiang Nian’s fans, the passers-by who were tearing at Jiang Nian and the black fans were quarreling with each other.

Jia Ping immediately felt that someone was fishing in troubled waters and wanted to deliberately smear Jiang Nian. Now it happened to be the time for the selection of major awards, so Jia Ping had to think a lot. Jiang Nian, who had no news all that time, was slandered now. Wouldn’t it be too much of a coincidence?

“I thought Jiang Nian was usually very bright and beautiful. Any bag of hers is an ordinary person’s salary for several years. I didn’t expect her parents to still live in such a dilapidated place.”

“Yes, I heard that Jiang Nian is an only child. It’s a bit too much to spend so much money and not buy a house for his parents.”

“Jiang Nian spent all his money on famous brands, so how come there is not much left for her family?”

“Then who is the backer behind her? I heard that Jiang Nian was so powerful that she coaxed her backer to spend a lot of money on her, and there are several houses in the imperial capital, tsk tsk tsk, I really couldn’t tell…”

Of course, there were also fans who spoke for Jiang Nian and said that Jiang Nian has worked hard filming for the past few years, and there is no scandal, let alone buying some luxury goods? “The statement said that the old man was nostalgic and could not bear to part from his old neighbors for decades, so he didn’t move!”

“You slandered Jiang Nian for having a backer, but where is the evidence!”

Of course, even if you explain that there will still be gossip, for example, your family will definitely speak for you, but relatives can’t testify. Who will believe it? As for the so-called sugar daddy, no evidence doesn’t mean that there’s nothing going on, and a clap with a single hand doesn’t make a sound. If you weren’t filthy in virtue, would others say that about you?

And that’s how the fight broke out.

After the quarrel, Jiang Nian has become synonymous with money-worshiping and unfilial women, and her image plummeted!

Zhou Shanshan, who saw the development of the matter, couldn’t help but secretly rejoiced. She just provided some gossip, and she could make Jiang Nian be scolded by the whole network. What will her future in-laws think of her now? Will the marriage go smoothly?

While she was secretly happy, she was also a little worried. Now that things are so big if she was found out, will Xue Hang really deal with her as he said?

No, she just provided some news and photos. What’s more, what she said was true. Jiang Nian was vain, extravagant, and annoying. As for the rest, what did it have to do with her?

At the moment, besides Zhou Shanshan, there was also Wang Jingjing who was happy.

Since the things she did against Jiang Nian a few years ago were exposed, netizens stopped following her account, and Xue Hang deliberately suppressed her, so that no one of the crew dared to use her again, and she was hidden by the company without any use-value. When she got up, Sister Chen kept trying to trouble her and privately asked her to go to a bar to sing, so she could get a cut of it.

Wang Jingjing was reborn. She claims to be the darling of fate, so she is naturally unwilling to lower herself to do those things. The conflict with Sister Chen is getting deeper and deeper, and now they are close to becoming enemies.

In recent years, she has been living on the little savings from the past. Every time she sees the beautiful Jiang Nian on the Internet and TV, she can’t help but feel a trace of hatred. This Jiang Nian hurt her for two lifetimes!

She didn’t want Jiang Nian to feel better, especially when she heard Sister Chen say that Xue Hang and Jiang Nian were preparing for their wedding. She felt madness and dissatisfaction in her heart, but Jiang Nian was like a cloud, she wanted revenge but even little traps were too difficult for her… At thet time, she learned from Sister Chen about the neighbor who broke the news about Jiang Nian a few years ago.

There was hardly any hesitation, and she contacted the other party immediately.

The two contacted each other privately several times, and talked about a lot of topics concerning Jiang Nian. After several times, Wang Jingjing was able to confirm that the other party was indeed someone related to Jiang Nian, because she knew more than she heard from Sister Chen. To be more specific, there is a lot of dissatisfaction and disgust with Jiang Nian in her words.

After thinking about it for a long time, she finally came up with this plan. The news broke out first, and then the water army was bought to hype it up. If this matter became too big, it would not only cause damage to Jiang Nian’s image and reputation; it would also affect Jiang Nian. The opinions of Xue’s family made her unable to raise her head in front of them. An actor is an actor after all, and Jiang Nian can’t stand on the stage and is not worthy of Xue Hang. There is also the selection of the best actress. Will she still be eligible for the award after such a hit?

Only when Jiang Nian is miserable can she avenge her two lifetimes.

Now that she finally got what she wanted, Wang Jingjing smiled proudly.

Anyway, she has nothing now, and it is difficult to come back, even if she is going to die, she has to drag Jiang Nian to hell with her!

She gloated at the misfortune and kept an eye on Jiang Nian and Jiang Nian’s studio’s Weibo so that she could respond as soon as possible. However, when she put all her attention on Jiang Nian, she didn’t notice that there were a few more voices coming out, or she suddenly saw a lot of strange comments on Jiang Nian’s Weibo: “Ah ah ah look at the hot search! Go and see the hot search!”

Wang Jingjing was puzzled, hot search? What’s trending?

…

She opened her eyes in confusion, and found that the new hot search was from “China Cancer Foundation”. What’s so good about it? She snorted, extremely disdainful, and opened it with an indifferent attitude, and her smile suddenly stiffened!

It turned out that the reason for such a sensation was a Weibo post of the “China Cancer Foundation”, written as such: “All thanks to Ms. Jiang Nian for her selfless donation, and for all the help she has provided to our Cancer Foundation. Thank you!”

The words were few, but there are two attached pictures, one is the donation record of Jiang Nian two years ago, which amounted to 3 million, and the other is the donation record of Jiang Nian’s donation of 3 million again a month ago!

While Wang Jingjing was startled, then she snorted coldly. It’s only 6 million. Can 6 million change her image?

However, just after that post, several charity foundations suddenly posted on Weibo. The China Red Cross Society, China Disabled Persons’ Federation, China Youth Federation, and China Children’s Foundation actually all posted a Weibo in favor of Jiang Nian!

Most of the content is the same. They thanked Jiang Nian for her donations and her selfless dedication, then attached records of the transactions. After adding those numbers together, the total donation is actually as much as 40 million!

…Forty million? ? ? !

Not to mention that Wang Jingjing was stunned, even netizens surfing the Internet felt that they were overturned by the waves! It must be that their brains are malfunctioning to see these big numbers, right? !

This Jiang Nian donated more than 40 million yuan silently! !

Is she crazy!

At this time, a big V blogger made an estimate for Jiang Nian’s endorsement and works fees in recent years, and concluded that the cost of these donations is almost half of her net worth!

At this time, the fans who have been speaking for Jiang Nian and fighting for her were excited and proud! Some even screamed and cried!

“I really didn’t follow the wrong person, doesn’t my family just like shiny things? Isn’t it just like brand-name bags? Is this wrong? She didn’t steal or rob to buy what she likes. She even donated 40 million. All of you have no big gold, no big diamonds, no brand-name bags, no luxury cars nor big houses, you are simple and reasonable, but how much money did you donate? Aren’t you too embarrassed to tell?”

The embarrassed person just opened his mouth, but he was quickly suppressed, so much that he didn’t dare to say anything afterward.

“Those who said Jiang Nian was unfilial came out and be beaten! How could a person who donates money to help so many people quietly, how could she not be filial to her parents?”

(T/N: well I know murderers and psychopaths who did a good deed and donated money so uuuh the argument is not valid but since author-sama said so…)

” She donated half of the money she earned, how could she betray herself to have a sugar daddy? Don’t insult people!”

(T/N: Again… This doesn’t justify anything. People can’t be classified as completely good or completely evil.)

“If it wasn’t for being slandered too hard this time, I’m afraid that what Jiang Nian did won’t be ver exposed. Thinking about it, I suddenly admire her!”

“We don’t know anything. When we watch the fun on the Internet and question others righteously, others are doing extremely meaningful things. I am ashamed.”

There is nothing to say, nothing to say at all, those who originally joined the fun and slandered Jiang Nian had nothing to say, wiped their sweat and came back to apologize! They said that they were misled by reading false speculations and news, that they were really sorry, then turned around and scolded several big V bloggers who slandered Jiang Nian. Can Nian be slandered for no reason? There must be a villain at work!

This development was too unexpected, and within a day, public opinion had all leaned towards Jiang Nian.

Seeing all this, Wang Jingjing was so surprised that she was speechless, while Zhou Shanshan’s hand shook and her phone fell to the ground.

They were done for!
