The tables turned one after another within a few hours. This circumstance had instead pulled in many passersby. #We can only blame our Tiantian for being magnanimous!# was the number one trending topic. More people were scolding Zhen Shanmei for being a vinegar concentrate¹ and short-sighted, accusing her of being jealous of Su Tiantian’s beauty and intellect.

 Ning Meng waited for the situation to turn this sour, and then, she contacted the few media companies of whom Lemon Entertainment had been cooperating with and sold the video to them.

 Half an hour later, the media published the video: [Did Miss Zhen react out of jealousy? Or was there something behind this mess?]

 The internet exploded.

 Those who had been chastising Zhen Shanmei jumped to her side after watching the video, and the passersby started to side with Zhen Shenmei as well.

 [spinningbike: Li Haojie, you scum! You’d better have an explanation for this!]

 [autumnafterdaybreak: Hope you can forgive your boyfriend for confessing to another woman. Else, you would be overreacting out of jealousy. You cannot blame the woman either. Else, you would only be admiring out of envy.]

 [preservinghealthinmiddleage: I feel that Su Tiantian is like a fake white lotus. She’s trying to show her innocence on the outside but is rotten to the core on the inside. She indeed did not watch her distance and caused this whole misunderstanding to happen. This is not Miss Zhen’s fault.]

 There was not much content in the video. One could see Li Haojie confessing, and yet, Su Tiantian did not say much from the beginning to the end. It was not enough to wash Su Tiantian’s name clean, and so, her fans tried to save the situation.

 [everydaysweet: My Tian is innocent. She has already apologized after all.]

 [Tiantianismygoddess: I support my goddess! It all comes back to that one sentence. Our goddess is too magnanimous!]

 Zhen Shanmei complained. “Li Haojie’s name has indeed been corrupted, but there are not many repercussions for Su Tiantian. All she gets is “just be careful next time”. What the f*ck do you mean be careful!? Can these people not see her true nature is as a fake white lotus?”

 “Comparing Li Haojie and her, I hate Li Haojie more, but I still hate Su Tiantian. How dare she instigate for me to break up and now act all innocent?!”

 Ning Meng laughed: [There’s no need to rush. We will make her pay the price no matter what.]

 Zhen Shanmei felt quite depressed. “I’ve asked my dad. Su Tiantian has her own influence too. We can’t push her down just like that. What else can we do?”

 Ning Meng: [There’s still me.]

 Zhen Shanmei was stunned after seeing these words. When she woke up that day, her heart was so broken that it left her in emptiness and confusion. It felt like nothing mattered anymore. As she was daydreaming, she noticed that the QQ chat groups for fans were going wild. There were separate groups for each “expertise”, for example, for picture editing and the latest news. Each group had a few hundred thousand fans.

 sourandsweet was the group owner of this one particular group. Many people had tried to get on “his” good side as “he” had proven time and time again that “he” had a substantial amount of money. At this point, people were tagging “him” non-stop.

 [anythingphotoshoplookforme: What happened? Why did you leave the fandom? @sourandsweet]

 [Linfamilybigbro: sourandsweet, you have not come on QQ for a while, what happened? Why did you leave the fandom?]

 [Qingbeimotherfan: OMG I don’t know why I feel like crying. sourandsweet had been a fan for a whole seven years! Did he really leave the fandom?]

 Zhen Shanmei was shocked. She quickly opened sourandsweet’s Weibo and saw that he had wiped his Weibo clean. A message was left there.

 [sourandsweet: I finally understood what tricks houseflies like to play on others. How revolting that I had been a fan of this piece of 💩 for all these years.]

 Zhen Shanmei’s eyes turned red.
