Jia Ping also didn’t expect that Jiang Nian’s act of throwing money like a silly eldest sister would be rewarded at such an unexpected time.

The proposal to expose the donation record was not made by him, nor did Jiang Nian mention it. Obviously, he did not expect this at all. It was the charity foundations who took the initiative to contact him, hoping they’d reach a hand to Jiang Nian to thank her for her selfless donations over the years. Because they have very founded reasons to believe that Jiang Nian was not the kind of vicious, unjust, and unfilial person the news gone viral on the Internet portrayed her to be, let alone a person who would betray her principles for money. How could someone who was helping others selflessly be unfilial to his parents? How could someone who kept a low profile and did not hype himself after donations be a person who pursues fame and fortune no matter the means?

As a result, when Jiang Nian’s statement did not work, several major charity foundations took the initiative to contact Jia Ping, which led to the subsequent large-scale “thank you Weibo”.

What was more interesting was that Jiang Nian’s donations were not publicized, and the major charitable foundations were usually busy with their own matters, and it was impossible to talk about which person donated how much when they meet occasionally for business. So after posting on Weibo, when looking at the news, they were stunned, there were actually other charitable foundations that thanked Jiang Nian?

Several major charitable foundations looked at each other, quite surprised, as it was rare for them to “meet” (virtually), especially under such circumstances. Old friend, what a coincidence, we meet again?

The Chinese Red Cross Foundation first commented under the China Cancer Foundation’s post: “Friend, you too?”

The other party quickly replied: “Old friend, you as well?”

“All of you?”

The China Youth Federation and China Children’s Foundation were not absent: “Yes, all of us!”

They all moved forward for Jiang Nian, she helped them, so they were naturally willing to help and protect her. There were really too few fools like her these days; especially after the major charity foundations discussed Jiang Nian, this idea became even stronger. Jiang Nian’s foolishness was rare in the world but at the same time very precious, so they should cherish it, and try their best to protect it.

When netizens saw this shocking and miraculous scene, they naturally shouted, “Ah, ah, ah, scum!”

Although the whole matter looked very surprising and chaotic, it was shocking enough. Now Jiang Nian’s fans have straightened their waists and chests. If nothing else, they are proud, very proud!

Yes, proud!

Even Xue Hang felt a sense of honor when he saw such a scene.

Although Jiang Nian is stupid, there are still some strange things going on in her brain, and the thoughts in her heart are even more strange, always making him laugh and cry and helpless, but she is the best and deserves the best.

The assistant hurriedly knocked on the door and came in, reporting, “Mr. Xue, the person who spread rumors about Miss Jiang has been found. What should we do to them next?”

What should be done to them? Naturally, they wouldn’t be spared.

…

Just when Jiang Nian was being praised by the whole network, Jiang Nian’s management team suddenly issued several lawyer’s letters, aimed at those who slandered Jiang Nian and swore that she was kept. Some even pretended to be Jiang Nian’s neighbors and “leaked” that she was not filial to her parents; and the abuse was very serious… All of them couldn’t escape the investigation of Jiang Nian’s studio.

And among the accused, there was a name that was very familiar to the public but became very unfamiliar recently: Wang Jingjing!

Although Wang Jingjing has been down and out in recent years, there were really many people who knew her, especially Jiang Nian’s fans who couldn’t forget her. “Is it the Wang Jingjing who framed Jiang Nian a few years ago?”

“That’s right! I thought she had survived in the past few years, but I didn’t expect her to make a comeback. She spread rumors that Jiang Nian was unfilial and had a backer, and Niannian was scolded and pointed at by the whole Internet. If it wasn’t for those big Vs of charitable organizations who couldn’t bear to see it and came out to speak for Jiang Nian, Jiang Nian would not be able to wash herself clean even if he jumped into the Yellow River! But now the facts tell us that you idiots were tricked by Wang Jingjing again! The spearman is still being used as a spearman by Wang Jingjing!”

“Fuck, this Wang Jingjing is going too far, isn’t she doing this for revenge? It’s been so long, she still holds a grudge against Jiang Nian, and it’s obviously all her fault, why doesn’t she know how to repent?

“Don’t ask Wang Jingjing why she hasn’t repented anymore, I’m just afraid that those people who followed Jiang Nian afterward didn’t repent! High demands on others, zero demands on yourself, tsk tsk tsk. ”

Some people who didn’t know the grievances between Wang Jingjing and Jiang Nian asked what happened at the beginning? Naturally, a large number of people came out to “spread knowledge”. For example, Wang Jingjing was bullied by Jiang Nian and fell down the stairs and was seriously injured. Jiang Nian, who was the first female lead in “Love in a Fallen City”, had all her endorsements terminated, and she was directly abandoned by the company. She was asked to get out of the entertainment industry, even her family was implicated, and her whole life reached rock bottom!

What was even more ridiculous was that when some netizens thought they had protected the weak and safeguarded justice, the news broke that Wang Jingjing and Sun Xu were dating. What was even more ridiculous was that Sun Xu was Jiang Nian’s boyfriend! When did Jiang Nian use her popularity to bully her? She was deliberately framed by Wang Jingjing! How terrifying is someone who dares to betray himself?

Damn it! So awesome?

No, in the end, Wang Jingjing came out to apologize in person, crying and begging for forgiveness. How long has it been?

And because of Zhou Shanshan, the Jiang family was not very peaceful. Because the lawyer’s letter just happened to be delivered to Uncle Jiang’s house, Uncle Jiang was shocked, thinking that Jiang Yong had been caught in something illegal, so he fell in a fit of panic, how could he open it? When he finally read the letter, it was Wang Jingjing instead who was sued for creating rumors and framing Jiang Nian? She actually said on the Internet that Jiang Nian was not filial to her parents, was kept and didn’t know how to behave?!

He immediately turned black, “Jiang Yong, Shanshan, get out of here!”

When Jiang Yong was called over, he didn’t know what was going on, and said inexplicably, “Dad, why are you angry, take your grandson with you!”

Zhou Shanshan’s phone just got a new screen when she saw her father-in-law’s face turned pale with anger, a bad premonition flashed in her heart, and she asked with a smile, “Dad, what’s the matter with you?”

Uncle Jiang threw the document on the table: “What’s wrong with me? I want to ask you what’s wrong with you! You don’t want to have a good time, do you? Zhou Shanshan, after you marry into our Jiang family, did we ever wrong you? How old are you? When you framed Niannian years ago, we were worried that you were pregnant with a child, and we did not embarrass you very much. We hoped that you’d correct your mistakes and stop being confused and live a good life in the future! But look, how long has it been, and you wrong Niannian again? What have you done? Does our Jiang family owe you, did Niannian ever make trouble with you? Why do you want to hurt her like this? Why can’t you bear to see her well? You know Niannian is a public figure, and you know she’s about to get married with Xue Hang, what did you think of when you spread those words?!”

Zhou Shanshan shuddered when she was yelled at. It was the first time she saw Jiang Yong’s father so angry. Obviously, he no longer gave her enough face as before.

After Jiang Yong was surprised, he became angry. He turned to look at Zhou Shanshan and asked angrily, “Is what my dad said true?”

Zhou Shanshan shook her head, “No, no, I didn’t…”

Jiang Yong obviously didn’t believe her. He took a look at the documents on the table, and when Zhou Shanshan wanted to defend herself, he slapped her! Zhou Shanshan was caught off guard, and looked at Jiang Yong in disbelief: “You dare to hit me?”

“I beat you fairly lightly, do you think that our family is tolerant of you and that our family can be bullied at will? You know that it’s because of you that Niannian and I are estranged. You don’t know how to reflect and seek Niannian’s forgiveness, instead, you secretly start to do bad things again! I didn’t know, I just thought there was an old hatred between you and Niannian!”

Zhou Shanshan cried.

Uncle Jiang sat on the side without moving and buried his head in his hands, looking guilty.

There was too much noise here. The aunt, Grandpa Jiang, Grandma Jiang, and Jiang Yu who heard the noise all came out. They were still trying on clothes in the room. Jiang Nian was about to get married, so they bought two clothes for each one of them. When they came back, there was so much noise here, and they came out to ask what happened?

What else could it be? Of course, Zhou Shanshan is acting like a demon again!

Jiang Yong’s family was in a commotion this time. Grandpa Jiang was so angry that he was almost hospitalized. He pointed at Zhou Shanshan, who was speechless. “Want to marry a woman who’s a homewrecker?”

Jiang Yong immediately knelt down.

The eldest aunt couldn’t help but wipe her tears, because of this scourge, their family can’t live in peace. Jiang Yu was also so angry when she knew what happened to Jiang Nian the day before yesterday. She was still arguing on the Internet for a long time. Fortunately, those charity organizations came out to speak for Jiang Nian and suppressed those rumors!

No matter how much Zhou Shanshan cried and begged, she couldn’t let it go. She had been scorned by Jiang Yu for a few days at Jiang’s house, and she couldn’t take it anymore. But the child has lived with his grandparents since he was a child. He was almost brought up by the elderly. The child kissed his grandmother and cried and asked for his grandmother. Besides, Jiang Yong couldn’t let her take the child away! The mother’s thoughts are so dangerous, can the child be raised decently by her side?

Zhou Shanshan’s loss of a child is equivalent to no bargaining chips. She waited for Jiang Yong to pick her up after she returned to her parent’s home for several days, but he didn’t even try to contact her!

In her impression, her in-laws are very stupid. They let her do everything. She can just cry and beg and they’ll do everything she asks them to. Jiang Yong is even more stupid. Well, now that she has returned to her mother’s house, why hasn’t he come to her? Can a child have no mother?

What’s even more extreme is that netizens are very talented. One of the people dug into the matter and found that the one who spread the rumors is Zhou Shanshan, the wife of Jiang Nian’s cousin. He also found out that Zhou Shanshan is “amazing” and has very good methods. She even overthrew the original wife and married into the Jiang family with a big belly!

“Then why did she scheme against Jiang Nian?”

“Why else? Jealousy! Zhou Shanshan’s family conditions are too ordinary, and it is amazing to be close to Jiang Yong. Jiang Nian is better than her and more capable than her. Can she not be jealous?”

” This woman is sick!”

So soon, Zhou Shanshan and Wang Jingjing also experienced the Internet exposure package Jiang Nian suffered. They could choose not to listen to the abuse on the Internet, but they couldn’t ignore the dead mice sent to the house, the splashes of red paint on the door, and the horde of reporters who were guarding in front of the door every day. They didn’t even dare to leave the house, and they dreaded Xue Hang’s revenge in fear.

They spent every day trembling, their days becoming increasingly difficult and their future even bleaker.

…

Jia Ping told Jiang Nian that, except for the statement in Jiang Nian’s name, Xue Hang’s legal team handled everything on their behalf. Even Wang Jingjing and Zhou Shanshan were found thanks to Xue Hang’s help.

Xue Hang’s speed was very fast. Jiang Nian was ridiculed by the whole network just two days ago. The day before, the public opinion was all directed towards Jiang Nian, bombarding her with curses and criticism, but within two days, Xue Hang had already found all the people who slandered Jiang Nian the most and hold them accountable. Of course, he didn’t expect that Wang Jingjing and Zhou Shanshan would be found in this investigation. Jiang Nian was moved, and immediately called Xue Hang: ” My sugar daddy*, you are so kind to me! I miss you so much, when will you come to see me?”

(* So the literal translation is “godfather”, which is, um, unsuitable. I replaced the term with “backer” every time, but now I thought I’d use “sugar daddy” to keep the meaning somewhat. I laughed so hard when I saw Jiang Nian being referred to as “goddaughter” in the netizens’ comments.)

Jian Ping was so stunned he froze and almost fell: “…” You really dare to shout? Who gave you the courage?

Xue Hang: “…”

He coughed and said sternly: “Be honest, don’t shout.”

Jiang Nian wondered: “Where am I being dishonest? I think you are good to me. Is it wrong for me to call you that? That’s because you are too good!”

Xue Hang had to admit that this fool’s talent for instilling sweet words was unmatched, and it was getting better and better recently.

In fact, he had already bought a ticket and he rushed over that night.

Now Jiang Nian lives at the foot of the mountain. The crew found a few farmhouses to rent as temporary accommodation. Jiang Nian was assigned to the second floor, the furniture being a table and a large cabinet. Jiang Nian’s suitcase was placed in the corner. On the square wooden table were some fruits, a thermos cup, and some odds and ends.

When he sat down on the bed, he heard the bed creaking a few times.

Jiang Nian just came back from work, covered in dust, with some uncleaned cobwebs hanging on her hair, waved goodbye to the directors and actors, and ran upstairs impatiently.

Xue Hang heard Jiang Nian’s excited voice from a distance: Beauty, beauty, here I come!

This little rascal!

Xue Hang rubbed his forehead and smiled helplessly. Although she behaved like a hooligan, he was still very happy, because he was afraid Jiang Nian would recall everything she had experienced before, and that her heart, which he finally coaxed, would fall into darkness again. Then Wang Jingjing and Zhou Shanshan would surely die because they’re to blame for this matter!

As Xue Hang was entertaining murderous thoughts, dirty Jiang Nian ran upstairs and gave him a hug: “Baby, when I see you, I feel that I am alive!”

Xue Hang snorted: “Then do you want to follow me all the time?”

Jiang Nian disagreed: ” Why not? My heart is always with you.”

Xue Hang pulled the corner of his mouth, poked her forehead, and pushed her away: “Okay, go take a bath.”

Jiang Nian: “… …”

She rubbed her forehead and hugged him again: “Taking a bath is not important, it’s you!”

Xue Hang: “…Will you go?” 

Of course, Jiang Nian went to take a bath in the end. After the bath, she was really fragrant and comfortable. When she came back, Xue Hang was peeling the apple and when he saw her, he handed the peeled apple to her. Jiang Nian grabbed it with a smile and took a bite, and consciously sat on Xue Hang’s lap, taking a bite herself, then feeding him another.

However, Xue Hang changed his target, and what was eaten changed from the apple to Jiang Nina’s lips. The taste was just as sweet and delicious as apples. He kissed her and asked in a low voice, “When the news came out, were you shocked?”

Jiang Nian shook her head: “No, I didn’t take them seriously.”

Xue Hang smiled, “Then you should know that the lawyer’s letter has been sent to Jiang Yong. Zhou Shanshan has targeted you and framed you several times. If she had behaved, I would have let her go, but if she doesn’t want to live a good life, I will fulfill her wish.”

Jiang Nian said, “Grandpa and grandma treat me well, uncle and aunt as well. They also watched me grow up since I was a child, protected me, and cared for me. They are getting older, and Zhou Shanshan is Xiaoxian’s mother. If it wasn’t for fear of them being embarrassed, I would have dealt with Zhou Shanshan long ago. I warned her, I didn’t expect that would ignore my warning and dare to do anything.”

“Zhou Shanshan made a mistake, and being patient will only make her think we can’t do anything about her. I will make her pay for what she has done.” Xue Hang patted her head, “It’s me who did it, and it doesn’t have anything to do with you, so don’t be embarrassed.”

Jiang Nian hugged him: “No, this is what we did together, I won’t be so cruel and leave you to face it alone.”

Xue Hang: “… …”

This idiot.

He sighed and patted her fragile, slender back.

The two foolishly hugged for a while, Xue Hang held the little fool who was twisting, sitting on his legs, and thought he’d be dead if this continued. (T/N: because he’s holding back it seems…)

He picked up Jiang Nian and went back to the bed. As soon as the two fell down, the wooden bed made an overwhelming creaking sound.

Xue Hang’s body froze, and Jiang Nian snorted and laughed in his arms.

The two looked at each other stupidly for a while, then Xue Hang hooked her chin, squinted his eyes, and pretended to threaten: “If you think the bed is not good, I can’t take care of you?”

Jiang Nian hugged him: “My sugar daddy, everything is good. I said, you can love me, dote on me, film for me, and give me big-name endorsements to make me popular, you are so good to me, but you can’t bully me!”

Xue Hang: “…Ha.”

He hugged Jiang Nian and pressed her on the wall.

Behind Jiang Nian was a cold and hard wall, but in front of her was a fiery strong body. She seemed to be caught in a double world, but there was a hotter place, thrusting in her body without any scruples and bringing her the best ecstasy, to the point of trembling.

Outside the window, it was raining, lightning and thunder.

The lightning split the darkness, and that flash of light made Jiang Nian see the handsome face of the man in front of her. His black hair was slightly wet, his jaw was stretched taut, and those dark and deep eyes locked her, which seemed a little deliberate and naughty.

Jiang Nian bit his chin: “I’m still working tomorrow…”

He lowered his head, held the tip of her tongue, and muttered vaguely, “Oh.”

“Oh what?”

“Oh, I see.”

“…”

Then why are you going at it harder… The wind and rain outside the window are not as good as him.

Early the next morning, Jiang Nian posted a Weibo: “Good morning, let me introduce to you my baby (literally “baobao”, which also means precious or treasure), Xue Hang.”

The attached picture was a photo of her and Xue Hang, and behind them was the scenery of sunrise after rain among the mountains and old forests, as if one could still see the rainbow in the sky.

As soon as this Weibo was posted, it made netizens, who had not come out of the previous news, cry again!

Although Xue Hang is mysterious and rarely appears in public, it does not mean that few people know him. On the contrary, his name has long been known to the ears!

“Damn it, am I blind when I wake up so early in the morning? Jiang Nian has made her relationship public, and her partner’s Xue Hang?”

“So the legendary sugar daddy is Xue Hang? No wonder Zhou Shanshan is so jealous, she just wants to kick Jiang Nian down to seduce him?”

“It seems reasonable to say that? After all, Zhou Shanshan has a criminal record!”

After Jiang Nian’s Weibo was posted, many artists, producers and directors in the circle forwarded their blessings, but Xue Hang did not, he logged into the official Weibo of Xue’s Enterprise, forwarded Jiang Nian’s Weibo, and wrote a sentence.

“I’m Jiang Nian’s husband, Xue Hang. Anyone who insults my wife will be punished.”

This should be the first time Xue Hang has said such a short-handed remark in public, but Jiang Nian just introduced that Xue Hang as her treasure, and it was just a frank relationship, so he climbed up the pole and thought he was Jiang Nian’s husband, okay, okay… so shameless!

This is not only thought, but also said.

“Mr. Xue, our goddess Niannian said that you are just a baby, do you know what a baby is? Not a husband!”

“Yes, yes, my goddess is not your wife! Please respect yourself!”

“Oh, Mr. Xue, you have already robbed me of so much money, why are you robbing my wife now?”

“It’s too much!”

“It’s too much + 1!”

When Xue Hang saw these comments, his eyes straightened, he snorted and picked one at random: “Jiang Nian is my wife.”

It’s not an emphasis, it’s more like a notification.

Of course, this reply is still trampled on by the majority of netizens. No, no, she is not your wife, she is not your wife without a marriage certificate. You, Mr. Xue, do your best job as a boyfriend and be a good baby!

Xue Hang was stunned, he threw his phone away and didn’t want to read more.

The little assistant and Jia Ping couldn’t help but snicker, no, it shouldn’t be just the two of them snickering, many directors, producers, supervisors, producers and coordinators in the circle, and even celebrities from all walks of life, are snickering!

The dignified President Xue finally corrected his identity, scattered dog food, announced Jiang Nian’s ownership, and by the way confirmed that Jiang Nian had no sugar daddy! You mortals don’t pay homage to Mr. Xue’s cool demeanor and shout “oo handsome!” and become envious, but instead tell him to be a good baby? !

“Puchi!”

“Cough cough cough!”

“I seem to have a cold.”

“Well, it rained last night, so I caught a cold as well.”

Jia Ping and the assistant discussed in earnest, and went to buy some cold medicine later.

Xue Hang glanced at the two of them coldly, grinding his teeth secretly, and suddenly heard a cough next to him. He lowered his head and saw Jiang Nian was covering her mouth and snickering, her slender shoulders trembling slightly.

His eyebrows jumped, his face even darker!

“Jiang Nian!”

“Baby?”

Xue Hang: Haha. 

This is one of the longest chapters I’ve ever translated, the chapters’ lengths are usually half this one or even less. QAQ
