Chapter 162 The Real Heiress Kicked Out of Her Home—Goes Viral

On this day, news of Shui Xiaoxiao's wedding flooded the internet. Although there was no live broadcast, many celebrities and media attended, and they took pictures and posted them on social media, where fans celebrated with the photos.

[Ahhh, Xiaoxiao looks so beautiful! Her wedding dress must have cost a fortune to make!]

[The groom's brother-in-law is really handsome! President Ning's whole family is full of good-looking men and women!]

[If we can't be sisters with Xiaoxiao, can we be sisters-in-law? Ningxun sings so well!]

Although I don't appreciate Ning Xun's singing, he's really handsome!

[Oh my god, I found Xiaoxiao's sister-in-law's Weibo! She's such a rich girl! One of the bags she showed off costs a year's salary for me—that's my goal for my next life! She also has two older brothers who dote on her; she's the only princess in her family. Just thinking about it makes me feel so happy!]

[Actually, Xiaoxiao is pretty good too. Although her family background can't compare to the Ning family, she's still favored. I'm not picky at all. In my next life, I'd be happy to be reborn into either the Ning or Shui family!]

However, the comments weren't all praise and blessings; there were also some discordant voices.

[His acting didn't make much of a splash, but his wedding was a huge spectacle. He truly lives up to his reputation as a marketing dud!]

Like attracts like; if a scoundrel has questionable character, the Ning family won't be much better.

Am I the only one who dislikes Shui Xiaoxiao? I don't even want to give her a blessing; I just don't like her appearance.

...

Fans are doing their best to control the comments, and discordant voices are being drowned out.

The wedding was held in Suzhou, the Ning family's stronghold. The wedding was extremely expensive, with both the bride price and the dowry being unimaginably rich for ordinary people.

Although Ning Jianli and Chen Shuyan were quite upset by Yao Yao, they showed no displeasure at their eldest son's wedding and greeted all the guests with smiles.

This is a matter of face for the Ning family, so naturally we cannot allow it to give others cause for criticism.

The lavish wedding went very smoothly, and Shui Xiaoxiao even cried with emotion when the emcee asked about their love story.

In front of everyone, the handsome man and beautiful woman kissed, recounting their love story.

After the wedding, Shui Xiaoxiao also posted a family photo of her parents' family and her husband's family on social media.

At the same time, she also posted a long text, which resembled a short essay, detailing her impressions of her husband's family members and her experiences getting along with them.

She describes her in-laws as reasonable, her brother-in-law as mild-tempered, and her sister-in-law as her best friend; the whole piece is full of praise, showcasing her status in her husband's family.

After filming wrapped, Yao Yao continued her routine of going back and forth between home and acting classes. She spent every day working on her acting skills, striving to further improve her professional abilities.

Yao Yao also saw the news about Shui Xiaoxiao and Ning Yun's wedding on her phone, but she didn't react at all.

It's like reading news about a stranger; it's gone in a flash, leaving no trace in my mind.

With a "ding," her phone beeped with a message. Yao Yao opened her phone and saw it was a WeChat message from Qin Qing.

"Holy crap! Shui Xiaoxiao and Ning Yun actually got married! Didn't the Ning family invite you?"

Qin Qing is currently still in Suzhou. She said she won't be able to return to the capital for another week.

Yao Yao sent a voice message directly, telling Qin Qing about her conversation with Ning's parents last time.

After hearing this, Qin Qing immediately sent a voice message filled with laughter.

"Sister Yao! You're amazing! You need to stand up for yourself. You don't owe the Ning family anything!"

Yao Yao: "Mmm! Let's part ways amicably. I'm not worthy of the Ning family."

Qin Qing: "Focus on your career, and you'll feel most at ease spending your own money."

"Yaomei, I'm not bragging, but your acting is much better than Shui Xiaoxiao's. Her acting is nothing to write home about, and I don't know how she has so many fans."

Yao Yao laughed out loud after reading Qin Qing's words and replied, "Hehe, I think so too!"

Qin Qing: "Go for it, little girl!"

Yao Yao: "I'll be waiting for you to come back!"

Time flies. At the end of December, Xu Baisong suddenly announced in the group chat that the web series was scheduled to air on the iQiyi website on January 1st, and asked all the performers to promote it on social media.

As early as when she decided to become a star, Qin Qing created a new celebrity account for Yao Yao, specifically for posting updates.

In just a few months, her account gained tens of thousands of followers solely through her slender selfies. Although the number wasn't large, the followers were quite active.

"On New Year's Day, 'The Most Beautiful Youth' will be available on the iQiyi platform. Everyone is welcome to watch it!"

Yao Yao reposted the official photos of the web series from its official Weibo account and promoted it on her own Weibo, which shocked the comments below.

"So this young lady is actually an actress!"

"Wow, the girl's promotional photos are so beautiful!"

"This girl is absolutely gorgeous! I'm in love!"

"It's my favorite campus drama, I'll definitely support it!"

...

With only two days left, Yao Yao was also a little nervous, unsure of how the broadcast would go.

They did not conduct any promotion in the period leading up to the online series' release.

Because the cast consisted entirely of newcomers, and the director lacked connections, television variety shows looked down on the production team, believing the show was merely self-entertainment and had no chance of becoming a hit.

All the key members of the production team are looking forward to New Year's Day.

Two days may seem like a long time to outsiders, but for the crew, it felt like an eternity.

At 8 PM on New Year's Day, the homepage of iQiyi Video was updated with the most beautiful youth promotional photos.

Yao Yao and Qin Qing had already prepared a tablet and various fruits in the living room, just waiting for this moment to arrive.

On the first day, the platform only released two episodes, while the series has a total of thirty episodes and will take half a month to finish airing.

With a mix of trepidation and excitement, the two clicked on the video. After watching the whole thing, Yao Yao felt pretty good about herself.

Qin Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief. She patted Yao Yao's shoulder and said happily:

"My dear sister, based on my years of experience watching dramas, this show is definitely going to be a hit! Just wait to ascend to fame!"

Yao Yao jumped around on the sofa happily, laughing out loud.

The crew's group chat exploded with excitement, everyone praising it and saying it was sure to be a hit.

After everyone had finished their discussion, Xu Baisong dropped a bombshell:

"Kiwifruit says this show has a high viewership and its popularity continues to rise. The top management attaches great importance to it. Tomorrow, the entire cast and crew will come to the Kiwifruit building for an interview."

Upon hearing Director Xu's words, Qin Qing became even more excited: "Ahhhhhh..."

"Clothes, clothes, will we have clothes to wear tomorrow, Yaomei?" Qin Qing asked excitedly as she paced back and forth on the ground.

But she didn't hear Yao Yao's reply. Qin Qing looked at Yao Yao in confusion, only to see that Yao Yao was focused on her phone.

Qin Qing: "Yao Mei, what are you looking at?"

Yao Yao opened her eyes wide, looked at Qin Qing, and showed her the screen on her phone, saying incredulously:

"Sister Qing, I...I'm trending! And I'm number one!"

After a few seconds of stunned silence, Qin Qing picked up her phone and stared intently at the trending topics on it.

【Ning Yao's acting skills】

The comments below all praise Yao Yao for not only being beautiful but also having excellent acting skills.

"Ning Yao, the most beautiful young heroine, is really beautiful! Looking at her selfies on Weibo, there's almost no trace of Photoshop; she's a natural beauty!"

"These days, there are very few actors with good acting skills, let alone the new generation of actors. I never expected to see the power of acting skills in a web series!"

"I checked Baidu Baike, and this is Ning Yao's first time acting. It's amazing! She completely blows away a whole bunch of actors in the entertainment industry. Her acting is so much better than those mediocre actors!"

"I declare that acting skills are the sole criterion for judging an actor!"

After checking the trending topics several times and confirming that it was the number one trending topic on Weibo, Qin Qing screamed.

"Aa ...

"Yao Mei! You're really famous! Ahhhhh!"

"No, I have to stay calm. I'm the manager, I can't panic. We're about to face some big events! I need to stay calm! Don't panic, don't panic..."

While Qin Qing was still muttering to herself, her phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number, and Qin Qing answered it.

Qin Qing: "Hello, how can I help you?"

Qin Qing used to never answer calls from unknown numbers, but since deciding to become an agent, she hasn't missed a single call from an unknown number.

Although almost all of them were scam sales calls, she still maintained the habit of answering calls from strangers.

A clear male voice came from the other end: "Hello, are you Ms. Qin, Ms. Ning Yao's agent?"

Qin Qing's eyes widened immediately, and she excitedly covered her mouth as she suddenly realized what was going on.

Qin Qing said excitedly, "Yes, yes, I am Qin Qing."

The male voice on the other end spoke again: "Hello, I am the manager of the well-known brand Juzi Shampoo. Ms. Ning, are you planning to become its spokesperson? The endorsement fee is negotiable."

"Okay, please add me on WeChat so we can chat in detail." This time, Qin Qing's voice was calm.

Male voice: "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Qing couldn't contain herself and excitedly exclaimed again, "Yao Mei, someone wants you to be their spokesperson!"

Yao Yao laughed and said, "This is just the beginning. Director Xu just messaged me saying that a lot of people have asked him for our contact information. Sister Qing, just wait to get a call!"

Qin Qing said smugly, "I can't wait to answer Duo Duo's call, it means you're getting more and more popular."

While Yao Yao was filled with joy, Ning Jiaojiao was far from happy.

She also saw Ning Yao trending on Weibo. At first, she thought it was just a coincidence of names, but when she clicked in, she found that it really was the Ning Yao she had imagined.

Seeing the various comments praising Ning Yao below, Ning Jiaojiao was so angry she wanted to grind her teeth. Refusing to believe it, she clicked on the iQiyi video and started watching the video.

After watching for only a few minutes, Ning Jiaojiao angrily turned it off.

Looking at Ning Yao's Weibo account, her followers are growing at an extremely rapid pace.

"Sister-in-law, Ning Yao has actually become a celebrity, and she's even trending on social media!"

Ning Jiaojiao angrily sent a message to Shui Xiaoxiao.

At the same time, Shui Xiaoxiao also received news from her agent that Ning Yao had actually started acting!

Shui Xiaoxiao's agent knew everything about Ning Yao's situation back then, and he was worried that Ning Yao's decision to become a star would lead to her retaliating against Shui Xiaoxiao.

Seeing Ning Yao's current state, Shui Xiaoxiao was naturally very angry. She directly belittled her, saying, "It's just a web series, a flash in the pan."

"Brother Li, Ning Yao isn't a docile person. If we release the news that she was juggling multiple relationships during college, I don't believe the audience will like such a promiscuous person!"

Agent Li immediately agreed: "Okay."

Soon, a number of online trolls appeared under the trending topic, posting ambiguous statements to guide passersby to dig up Yao Yao's dirty secrets.

There are also numerous secondary accounts that claim Yaoyao seduced other people's boyfriends during her university years.

Yao Yao has just debuted and hasn't built up a fan base yet. No one is fighting back against the negative rumors surrounding her. Instead, the fans she just gained are scared off by the rumors and no longer dare to like her.

Qin Qing, who had been keeping a close eye on the trending topics, quickly noticed the arrival of a large number of online trolls. She angrily slammed her fist on the sofa and said furiously:

"It must be Zhao Jialai's doing. She was the one who voluntarily gave up on this drama in the first place. Now that it's a hit, she's unhappy about it!"

Yao Yao shook her head and said calmly, "Not necessarily. I have many enemies, such as Ning Jiaojiao and Shui Xiaoxiao. Now is not the time to pursue these matters. I will not allow anyone to stand in my way!"

"Sister Qing, find a lawyer, I want to sue these people who are spreading rumors!"

Yao Yao gave the instructions in an orderly manner.

Qin Qing nodded repeatedly: "Okay! I'll ask my dad which law firm is better."

After saying that, Qin Qing immediately called her father, got the lawyer's number, and called him directly.

Within half an hour, the lawyer's letter was drafted, and Yaoyao posted it directly on Weibo.

Yaoyao: [Although I was born into a rural family, and my parents are farmers with little education, they taught me basic manners and a sense of shame from a young age. I have never done anything immoral, nor have I ever been in a romantic relationship. Beauty is not a sin; everyone has the right to pursue beauty, and likewise, I have the right to refuse. The internet is not a lawless place; may good deeds be rewarded.]

Shortly after the Weibo post was published, many comments appeared, expressing support for Ning Yao, a newcomer, for her strong stance.

"I believe in Yaoyao. Beauty is not a sin. It's not her fault that several men are pursuing her at the same time!"

"Exactly! The beautiful woman did nothing wrong! The one who's wrong is the person who loves her but can't have her and wants to ruin her!"

"Hmph! I can't stand seeing beautiful women suffer. I hereby declare that I am now Yaoyao's fan. Anyone who dares to say bad things about Yaoyao again, don't blame me for tearing you apart!"

"With fame comes trouble. The entertainment industry can't stand the rise of newcomers. You should go and read the exposé from Yao Yao's real college classmates. Our beautiful girl was a well-behaved student who didn't care about anything else and only focused on her studies when she was in school!"

Many people followed this comment and found real college classmates who revealed that Yaoyao was an excellent student.
