[All talk and no action. I thought Jingli would be a sensation after joining GD, but the result is far from satisfactory.]

[A song of farewell for Jing Li and GD; facts will prove that Xing Heng's choice was right.]

[They were so high-profile back then, but now they're so low-key. It's disappointing...]

...

GD has not offered any explanation for the comments circulating online.

Jing Li posted a Weibo post to reassure her worried fans.

Little Koi: I'm fine, everyone don't need to worry. It's almost the end of the year, and I've been busy all year and haven't been able to spend much time with my mother. I want to take a few days off to spend time with her. I can do my work whenever I want. I don't want to wait until it's too late to regret it.

Her accompanying photo was a picture of her and Jing Yu, who was wearing a hospital gown, in the hospital.

Years of hard work have made Jing Yu look older than women her age; her temples are already gray, and because she has just undergone surgery, her face is haggard and her body is frail.

But her plain-looking face was filled with smiles. Jing Li wrapped her arms around her neck intimately and gave her a sweet kiss on the cheek.

This photo is very heartwarming and filled with happiness.

When the photos came out, everyone was astonished.

It's hard to imagine that such an ordinary woman could be the mother of the dazzling Jing Li.

[Holy crap, the two look nothing alike, are they really related? If they are... how amazing must the little koi's father be...]

[This is Little Koi's mother? The rumors were true after all. Little Koi only agreed to Jin Tianyu's unfair treaty because her mother needed money due to health reasons. I feel so sorry for this mother and daughter.]

[I agree with Little Koi's words; spending time with family is more important than work.]

Seeing the mother and daughter together in the same frame inexplicably reminded me of my parents, and it made me sad... Because of work, I haven't been able to go back to spend Chinese New Year with my parents for three whole years.

[Such a sweet photo, yet I started crying while smiling. I felt inexplicably heartbroken. Jing's mother, you are amazing. Wishing you a speedy recovery.]

[Go, Little Koi! Go, Jing's Mom! Just stay by Jing's Mom's side and we'll do everything we can to support your single!]

...

Where there are true fans, there are also haters.

There were a few negative comments, saying that Jing Li was a scheming bitch who used her mother to gain sympathy, and questioning why Jing Yu was so old and ugly, embarrassing her daughter.

Because it involved personal attacks, even netizens who weren't Jing Li's fans couldn't stand it and quickly blasted the other party, making them afraid to show their faces again.

Actually, Jing Li wasn't unemployed; it's just that both she and GD felt it unnecessary to waste money on promotion. They had better ways to promote themselves than with a big fanfare and a TG battle.

After completing the recording of the single, Jing Li entered into a busy period of filming for her endorsement.

GD really put in a lot of effort, securing her an endorsement deal for a top international perfume brand in Asia and a mobile phone brand. He'll be broadcasting the deal simultaneously with her single's release to boost her popularity.

Time passed quietly in her busy schedule, and by the time she finished, there were only three days left until the Chinese New Year.

Taking a break from all work, Jing Li decided to give herself a short vacation to spend quality time with Jing Yu.

Fei Mo did not appear during this period, and the two rarely even exchanged messages.

This made Jing Li wonder if he was tired of her, but she didn't care at all.

For her, the two of them being together was merely a matter of mutual benefit, and she had long been prepared to walk away at any time.

After discussing it with the three Shen brothers, they decided to bring Jing Yu to the Shen family villa on New Year's Eve to celebrate the New Year, have dinner there, and then send her back to the hospital.
