"Holy crap, who is this woman? She actually dares to steal Sister Xinman's boyfriend, Mr. Xiao. Doesn't she have any shame? Didn't her mother tell her that being a mistress is shameful?"

"Dare to take a picture of her face? I want to see how pretty she is, that she even outshines our Xinman sister."

"Can the person upstairs refrain from insulting people? How can someone like that be compared to Xinman?"

"Stealing someone else's boyfriend, disgusting... I even threw up my breakfast, rue..."

...

I was scrolling through the comments when the phone rang.

Xiang Jin quickly answered the call.

"I'm so angry! Are these people brain-dead? When did Murong Xiao ever admit that Fang Xinman was his girlfriend?!" Bai Ningshuang started a war of words online while angrily making a phone call.

Xiang Jin laughed: "But he has never denied it."

To outsiders, they are just a close boyfriend and girlfriend.

"Ah Jin, are you so angry you've gone mad?!"

"These people are insulting you! They're even calling you a mistress! You, the Empress, are being insulted as a mistress?! Has this world no shame?!"

Xiang Jin thought about it carefully: "Actually... it's not really an insult."

As far as Murong Xiao and Xiang Qi were concerned, she was indeed a mistress.

"Don't boost others' morale and diminish your own, okay?"

"No way, no way! I'm going to get my revenge! Don't push me too far, or your ancestors will be turning in their graves! Ah Jin, you just wait and see!"

Bai Ningshuang hung up the phone.

Xiang Jin smiled, turned on her computer, and prepared to start working.

"By the way, Xiang Jin, didn't you go to the hotel that day? Did you see that mistress? Is she pretty?" Ran Fangya suddenly leaned over and asked curiously.

Xiang Jin thought for a moment and said, "It's... alright."

"You actually saw it! Tell me, wasn't the gossip even more intense on site?"

Xiang Jin shook his head: "It's alright, not as exciting as the ones online."

Netizens have such wild imaginations! Based on just a blurry video, they've conjured up a whole drama of how she stole Fang Xinman's love and how she was pitifully eliminated. Isn't that more exciting than the real story?

"Holy crap! So you're not—"

Kelly, who was next to her, suddenly coughed.

Ran Fangya quickly pulled her head back and chuckled dryly, "Work, work. I won't get full just by eating melons. I won't ask anymore. I'm going to go back to work."

The office returned to silence.

During her lunch break, Xiang Jin checked her phone and found that the topic had firmly secured its place at the top of the trending searches, with over 210 million views.

Following closely behind is a newly trending topic: #Fang Xinman responds to controversy#.

Xiang Jin started the conversation.

I clicked on the video in the topic again.

In the video, Fang Xinman is surrounded by bodyguards. Her forehead is bandaged like a mummy, her right hand is wrapped in bandages, and her face is pale, making her look like someone who is half-buried.

When asked about her trending status on social media, she simply smiled faintly, a smile tinged with helplessness and sorrow: "Forget it, it's all in the past."

Forget it, it's all in the past...

This single sentence once again ignited the internet.

"Oh my god! She's so wronged, she's so generous, she's so tolerant and accommodating... That mistress, don't you have any conscience?"

"Waaaaah, I'm going to cry... My sister has been betrayed in love and looks so haggard... I sincerely curse that mistress to get her comeuppance, that she might get hit by a car, choke to death while eating, or choke to death while drinking water!"

"I will always support Sister Xinman! Get out of here, you homewrecker!"

"I second that."

"Seconded +1".

"Seconded + N".

...

Immediately afterwards, the hashtag #MistressGoToDie# climbed into the top ten of the trending list.

Netizens extracted blurry footage of Xiang Jin from the video and created various memes that circulated online, though none of them were positive.

Xiang Jin turned off her phone.

After get off work, Xiang Jin invited Bai Ningshuang to dinner.

"Fengrong's stock price has been affected." Bai Ningshuang handed the latest news to Xiang Jin.

"Fortunately, the fluctuations are not too great."

This risk is negligible for Fengrong, although the shareholders may not be able to sit still.

"Ah Jin, why do you think this is? This has been going on for so long, why hasn't Master Xiao said a word?" Bai Ningshuang couldn't understand it, and she even wanted to call him herself to ask why.

So many people are throwing mud at Xiang Jin; the white is almost turning black.

As his wife, Xiang Jin should at least try to save face for Feng Rong, even if there is no affection between them.

"I guess it's unnecessary." Xiang Jin fiddled with the food in her bowl.

Between her and Fang Xinman, he clearly chose the latter.

Even if she wasn't a so-called mistress, he didn't need to go to the trouble of saying anything good about her.

"How can men be so despicable? They have such a good girl like you but insist on having their eyes on Fang Xinman. Even Murong Xiao is like this. What kind of man in the world can you trust?"

Bai Ningshuang silently took a sip of wine.

"Don't talk nonsense. Murong Xiao isn't after Fang Xinman." Xiang Jin picked up some food for Bai Ning Shuang.

"Even after all this, he still doesn't care? Could it be that he's still thinking about you?"

Nobody would believe it if I told them.

Seeing Bai Ningshuang's expression, Xiang Jin covered her mouth and laughed.

"You can still laugh even after all this? I'm truly impressed." She didn't do any work today, just spent her time arguing online, and while she was arguing, her account got banned!

Enraged, she used her alternate account to hurl insults, but that account also got banned...

"Let those people say whatever they want, I only care about the people I care about."

Although……

Murong Xiao's attitude disappointed her somewhat, but wasn't this expected? Why should she have any unrealistic expectations?

After finishing their meal, the two prepared to go home.

However, at the entrance of the mall, they encountered Lu Yixuan and her mother Jiang Wanru.

"Oh, isn't this Mrs. Murong? The internet is buzzing about it, and you still have the mood to go shopping?" Lu Yixuan said with a beaming smile, quite pleased with herself.

"What, do you think this is your private property? We can come and go as we please, it's none of your business!" Bai Ningshuang retorted.

"It's none of my business, but I don't care to care either."

She tossed her hair and arrogantly raised her head: "I, Lu Yixuan, can't be bothered with a discarded woman who's about to be kicked out."

Lin Anrong agreed, saying that three months later, after Xiang Jin and Murong Xiao divorced, she would become Murong's daughter-in-law, and Xiang Jin would no longer pose a threat to her.

but--

It's still necessary to make fun of her a little.

"What nonsense are you talking about? You're the abandoned woman, your whole family are abandoned women!" Bai Ningshuang retorted again.

"you--"

Lu Yixuan's face turned cold, and she suddenly raised the coffee in her hand and splashed it at Bai Ningshuang.

Xiang Jin was the first to react and quickly pulled her aside, spilling the coffee directly onto herself.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, Mrs. Murong—"
