The female lead was universally hated in the entertainment industry, but with her unparalleled beauty, even her notorious reputation didn't stop her from landing roles as seductive sirens, ruin...
Chapter 15
Chapter 15
Although this is a fictional world, since the "world" claims that if Jiang Mingyue can achieve a happy ending, this world may be able to merge with reality and replace the terrible reality, then she cannot avoid projecting her true emotions onto the people in this world.
The moment Jiang Mingyue saw Wang Mei and Han Jialan, she couldn't help but recall the scene of their first meeting in her previous life.
In her previous life, Wang Mei and Han Rong appeared in front of Jiang Mingyue when she was a junior in college.
At that time, more than two years had passed since Liang Shuanglan passed away. Jiang Mingyue gradually made a name for herself in the film and television industry by playing the third and fourth female leads in two big productions. In addition to her salary increasing and no longer being troubled by poverty, she also accumulated a certain reputation among the audience. Unlike the female characters she played, she was not always criticized for being "ugly" and "lacking in acting skills".
Jiang Mingyue was most proud of what she did at that time: she used the money she earned to move her adoptive parents to a beautiful cemetery, so that her adoptive parents, who had worked hard all their lives, could enjoy a beautiful environment with mountains and water.
Jiang Mingyue was particularly proud of this, and even took photos of the cemetery and posted them on her Weibo account.
When Wang Mei and Han Rong came to find her, Jiang Mingyue was no longer someone who could be swayed by money.
When she heard that her biological parents had come to her door, she assumed they were doing it out of love. However, she then heard something that made Jiang Mingyue question the values of Han Rong and his wife – after introducing themselves, they bluntly demanded that Jiang Mingyue acknowledge her ancestors without any warmth.
Jiang Mingyue, her arms hanging naturally at her sides, couldn't help but cross them over her chest. She frowned and asked, "Do you know what you're saying?"
Wang Mei wiped away the tears streaming from her eyes with an expensively scented handkerchief and replied righteously, "As the third party, you ruined Jia Lan's marriage. Shouldn't you compensate her? As long as you get married as soon as possible, Fu Qian will give up and see clearly who truly loves him in the world."
Jiang Mingyue was so angry she laughed.
She nodded: "Hmm, what you said makes a lot of sense. So what are the conditions for the husband you've prepared for me?"
Han Rong nodded with a look of relief: "Although you weren't raised at home, you're still quite decent."
He introduced the husband he had prepared for Jiang Mingyue as a matter of course: "We know that you are now a second or third-tier celebrity with considerable wealth. You can earn tens of millions a year with a little effort, so you are not short of money. Ordinary men can't impress you. Therefore, your marriage partner is very good."
Han Rong stretched out his hand and nodded smugly at Jiang Mingyue: "Do you know the leading cotton textile company in China? Chairman Wang's company can generate nearly a trillion yuan in output value a year. He is very satisfied with your appearance. As long as you marry him and have a child, all the family property will be inherited by your child."
"You'll be a rich wife once you marry him. He's promised to give you double your current income as pocket money every year." Han Rong paused here, his voice suddenly becoming very serious and cold. After looking Jiang Mingyue up and down, he frowned and scolded, "You need to learn to cherish what you have. Don't go to the film set anymore and show your face in public. And don't wear heavy makeup anymore. What kind of appearance do you make? What respectable woman dresses like that!"
Chairman Wang was about to turn 55 that year, and a group of his illegitimate children were making headlines every day for fighting over his inheritance, which netizens jokingly called "the modern-day nine princes vying for the throne".
The dark camera was shoved into Jiang Mingyue's face, capturing her momentary, furious expression as she couldn't hold back her emotions.
Jiang Mingyue didn't tolerate anyone's behavior. Pointing to the door, she shouted at her assistant and bodyguards, "Get them all out of here! Get them out of here!"
Han Rong and Wang Mei were indeed quickly ushered out by the bodyguards, but Jiang Mingyue's expression was clearly captured by the camera they had brought with them when they came to "recognize their relatives".
Soon, the edited video appeared in the exposé post, and she became the kind of vixen that even biological parents would condemn—a biological daughter interfering in her adopted daughter's marriage, how sensational!
Jiang Mingyue's anger at being filmed turned into rage at being exposed as a mistress, and the whole country knew that Jiang Mingyue's morals were so bad that even her own parents couldn't tolerate her.
Even negative publicity can generate traffic, and Jiang Mingyue chose to capitalize on this sudden surge in popularity by appearing on a variety show that offered a lucrative opportunity for revenge.
What's even more interesting is that Han Jialan, whom Wang Mei and Han Rong described as "staying at home and knowing nothing," also appeared on that variety show, shouting at Jiang Mingyue, "You don't love Fu Qian at all, why are you toying with him and torturing him repeatedly? I beg you to let him go, you don't have to give him back to me, I just hope he can be happy, I hope he can fall in love with a good girl."
Han Jialan may have been driven mad by the pain of unrequited love, but instead of turning her pain into a sharp knife to cut off the life of that rotten man Fu Qian, she kept stabbing Jiang Mingyue, who was being harassed by them.
The smears Han Jialan threw at Jiang Mingyue were even more hateful than the "mistress" accusation. At least in some people's eyes, while it's possible to steal a man out of love, one's character in other aspects might not be bad; but if Jiang Mingyue simply enjoys playing with men and destroys other people's marriages, then she's completely beyond redemption.
As the rumors spread online, they became increasingly bizarre, eventually turning into the story that Jiang Mingyue hated Han Jialan for enjoying the life of a rich young lady that should have been hers. In order to get revenge on Han Jialan, she deliberately sabotaged the business marriage between the Han and Fu families, wanting to make her biological parents Han Rong and Wang Mei, who did not love her, the fake heiress Han Jialan who took her place, and her supposed fiancé Fu Qian suffer together.
He's a wicked creature whose soul is completely steeped in malice!
From that day on, Jiang Mingyue suffered a decade of online attacks and criticism, from which she never escaped until her death.
Jiang Mingyue closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to expel the memories that were making her blood pressure rise from her mind.
*
Does Jiang Mingyue hate the world that took away her mother?
Of course she hated it, because the world had cruelly taken away the only family member who actually loved her unconditionally.
Does Jiang Mingyue hate Wang Mei, who is so hypocritical?
Of course, she hated this woman who gave birth to her. In every choice, big or small, she chose to sacrifice Jiang Mingyue, making her suffer a lot of pain that she shouldn't have to go through in her life.
Does Jiang Mingyue hate her biological father, Han Rong?
Of course I hate her. This man is greedy and sexist. He has never shown her any care or love and always wanted to use her as a pawn to give to wealthy businessmen who were interested in her in exchange for money and status.
Does Jiang Mingyue hate Han Jialan?
Of course I hate her. Han Jialan is hypocritical and materialistic, but she tries to put on a mask of being reluctant to leave her adoptive parents and unable to let go of her first love. She uses this to stand on the moral high ground to criticize Jiang Mingyue and deprive her of the rights she should have enjoyed.
Does Jiang Mingyue hate Fu Qian?
Of course I hate him, because Fu Qian betrayed his promise. It was clearly his infidelity that caused Han Jialan's madness, but he pretended to be a lovelorn fool, shifting all the moral blame onto Jiang Mingyue, who had nothing to do with it, making her the target of everyone's condemnation.
Even with so much hatred, in her past life, all Jiang Mingyue could do was try her best to ignore these powerful people, live her life well, and not let them completely destroy her.
In her previous life, Jiang Mingyue was too weak. She started too late and too slowly, so much so that everyone thought they could control her life.
But this time, she has gained the upper hand and will not repeat the mistakes of her past life where "kindness was taken advantage of".
Of course, she will also seize the opportunity to gather a few teammates who can help her.
For example, the man who jumped in front of her.
If Fu Xiachuan doesn't die, Fu Qian will become "the crown prince who has reigned for sixty years in the world."
