Zhuang Zhongming took out his phone, hesitated for two seconds, and then gritted his teeth and tapped the screen.
The search term "Zhuang Yan" is ranked first in the trending searches. Buying the top spot in the trending searches is quite a big move.
Ever since Zhuang Yan broke off his engagement and participated in a dating reality show, he has been the subject of rumors. People have said that he cheated on Xia Wan first, and that he is a scumbag who is not filial to his parents at home and does not uphold justice. They say that he has no redeeming qualities whatsoever.
Unaware netizens picked up their phones and started criticizing him, saying he was born bad. Tang Jing even said in front of everyone that Zhuang Yan turned out this way entirely because his grandmother misbehaved him and spoiled him.
Zhuang Yan could ignore the others, but he couldn't stand these people slandering his grandmother.
He would have died long ago if it weren't for his grandmother; she was the best person in the world.
Lu Yan gently held his trembling hand: "Zhuang Yan, from now on no one will bully you anymore."
The hotel's large screen went black, and just when everyone thought it had been turned off, it lit up again.
This is the trending video on Weibo. The video is simple and tells the story of Zhuang Yan's growth. He started living with his grandmother at the age of six. He is the filial child in his grandmother's eyes. He can do housework, massage her shoulders and wash her feet. He is the "other people's child" that the neighbors often talk about. He is a model student selected by the teachers and principal.
He had excellent grades, was polite, and never lacked friends at school. Apart from his biological parents, everyone around him said he was a good kid.
When Zhuang Yan was attacked online and various scandals emerged, it wasn't that no one stood up to tell the truth, but their voices were too weak to carry much weight, and the truth was drowned out by public opinion.
Others chose to ignore it, fearing they would offend the Xia family.
I don't know what kind of promise Lu Yan made to them, or how much she sacrificed to gather these more than one hundred people and have them stand up by their real names to prove to everyone that Zhuang Yan is not what is said online, that he is a good person, exceptionally good.
“I am Zhuang Yan’s primary school teacher. He has been obedient and sensible since he was a child. Since I met him, his grandmother has always taken care of him. I have never met his parents. Our place is just an ordinary small town with very average conditions and resources. It can’t compare to big cities. When he was in school, I always thought he was a left-behind child from an ordinary family. I never thought he was a rich young master.”
“I was Zhuang Yan’s elementary school classmate. Zhuang Yan used to be bullied. People called him a wild child without parents and never heard him mention his parents. His parents really didn’t care about him at all.”
"I'm Zhuang Yan's neighbor. I've known him for over ten years. When his grandmother first brought him home, he was as thin as a monkey and riddled with illnesses. You couldn't tell he was a rich young master at all. People online say he's unfilial, but have they ever really met him? He's known as a good person in our area. He's a good student, filial to his grandmother, and could cook when he was seven. When he came home, he would help his grandmother with housework, massage her back and shoulders. When he was a freshman in college, his grandmother fell ill, and he rushed back overnight to take care of her in the hospital for a month. Unfortunately, his grandmother still passed away. During that time, we never saw his parents. If anyone is unfilial, it's them. They're just crying wolf! After his grandmother died, the boy lost a lot of weight. Poor thing... After that, we never heard from him again."
“I used to work as a nanny for the Zhuang family, I’ve seen…”
