Jiang Hua sat at her computer desk, somewhat helplessly, one hand supporting her chin and the other rubbing her temples.

She didn't really want to get involved in these things. She knew exactly how many people were attacking her, and Jiang Shiwan was definitely one of them. The other party was the kind of person who wanted nothing more than to see her suffer.

But what's the point of arguing with them? It's like casting pearls before swine, and besides, she doesn't have the time or energy for it.

Should we ask her to explain these negative rumors? Impossible. Doing so would only make things worse and wouldn't achieve anything; it would just be a way to gain sympathy and pity.

Jiang Hua shook her head and finally decided to repost the Weibo post where Gu Yiming secretly took a picture of her, adding a caption saying that he made her look ugly in the photo.

As soon as the news came out, the sea of ​​haters below were helpless.

After all, no one cares, so why are they still going to such lengths to smear them? Many people are pondering this, and as a result, there are fewer insults in the comments section of Weibo.

After posting on Weibo, Jiang Hua stretched and, having nothing else to do, prepared to wash up and go to bed.

The agent stared at Jiang Hua's message, her lips twitching. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry. What kind of person had she gotten herself into? Although fewer people were criticizing her now, perhaps they were tired of it, there was no explanation at all... others could easily take it as an admission.

She wanted to contact Jiang Hua to say something, but her phone was switched off, which made her so anxious she wanted to smash her phone.

......

"Looks like you're not in a hurry at all."

Gu Yiming tapped his fingers rhythmically on his desk, his tone languid, glancing almost imperceptibly at the woman beside him.

Jiang Hua poured herself a cup of tea and said casually, "Anyway, I don't really care. Let them talk. They have mouths on their bodies, and I can't sew them shut."

"That's true." Gu Yiming nodded.

"Are you done yet? I've been waiting for half an hour, haven't I?"

Jiang Hua looked at Gu Yiming with some resentment. She had come to see her newly released movie, but she had been sitting there for half an hour and he was still not finished. She couldn't help but get annoyed.

"You'll have to wait."

He raised an eyebrow, smiled at Jiang Hua, and while outwardly making a gesture, he quietly shut down the computer.

“Ah…” Jiang Hua glared at Gu Yiming: “You’re such a big shot, you made me wait so long.”

"I heard you hit Jiang Shiwan?"

Gu Yiming wasn't surprised and answered truthfully, "I checked the ID that's smearing you. Jiang Shiwan is doing her best to smear you. I wonder if you, as her younger sister, are hurt?"

Jiang Hua rolled her eyes and pursed her lips without saying a word.

"She was quite self-aware; she guessed it was me and quickly bought a plane ticket to try and leave, but I caught her and beat her up out of respect for you."

Jiang Hua watched as he raised his eyebrows, looking at her with hope in his eyes as if he wanted some kind of reward.

"She got off too easy with just one meal, didn't she?"

She pouted, feeling rather annoyed. If you're going to fight, fight to your heart's content. What's a beating? It's a pity for the thugs; they're such good punching bags.

And what do you mean by "for her sake"? Are Jiang Shiwan and she even that close? Don't be ridiculous.

I know what you're going to say.

Gu Yiming sat down next to Jiang Hua and pulled her into his arms. Jiang Hua looked up at his chin, somewhat confused. Wasn't he supposed to be doing something? Why did he suddenly come over?

"Stop making wild guesses."

Gu Yiming patted her head, then ruffled her hair haphazardly, his expression gentle.

He wasn't exactly merciful to Jiang Shiwan, but it wouldn't be good to make a big fuss at this point, so he decided to resolve it privately. Besides, he couldn't possibly beat Jiang Shiwan so badly that her leg would break.

Jiang Hua got into trouble, and now Jiang Shiwan got into trouble too. Isn't this all too coincidental? He doesn't want Jiang Hua to be smeared again because of him, to be accused of harming her sister...

"So you can leave now?"

Gu Yiming shook his head helplessly, seemingly feeling a little helpless about Jiang Hua's eagerness. He was truly bewitched by her, which was why he couldn't resist her.

"Let's go."

The two drove towards the movie theater. Gu Yiming seemed to find the journey too boring and wanted to tease Jiang Hua, so he suddenly turned the car up to the maximum speed and sped up.

When the car stopped in front of the movie theater, Jiang Hua's steps were completely unsteady. She suddenly stumbled, but fortunately Gu Yiming grabbed her arm in time, preventing her from having a close encounter with the ground.

"Why are you driving so fast? Are you rushing to your death?"

Jiang Hua leaned against him and looked up at the smiling man in front of her.

Gu Yiming pursed his lips, his expression innocent: "Didn't you keep urging me to hurry up? Now that we're here, this is incredibly fast. You should praise me now."

He put his arm around her waist as he spoke.

"Don't make any rash moves." Jiang Hua rolled her eyes at Gu Yiming, lightly patted the strong arm that was restraining her waist, and pretended to be disgusted.

Gu Yiming didn't say anything, but with a beaming smile, he put his arm around her and led her into the movie theater. They found a seat in a high corner and sat down to wait for the movie to start.

Are you confident?

Gu Yiming glanced at the opening credits of the film, then turned to look at Jiang Hua beside him.

The theater wasn't completely full, just a moderate number of seats. He was worried that the online backlash against her these past few days had disrupted her film's box office performance. After all, being universally criticized online would definitely damage her public image; who would want to watch a film starring someone like that?

He was somewhat worried, fearing that Jiang Hua would be saddened by this.

"Why is it gone?" She frowned and turned to look at Gu Yiming. At first, she was a little confused, but then she understood. So that's what she was worried about.
