Jiang Ran's voice betrayed a hint of excitement as she answered the phone.
"Is there any news?"
"I did find some things, and I've sent them to your email. However... there are still some uncertainties that need to be verified."
"Thank you for your hard work. I'll need you to continue investigating the rest."
"Okay, I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Ran fell into deep thought again.
She was determined to completely destroy everything Jiang Minghui cared about within three years!
Meanwhile, after the film crew finished work, Jiang Xinrou ran to Jiang Minghui and cried.
"Waaah, Daddy, they've gone too far! They broke their promise! How could I possibly play the third female lead?!"
Jiang Minghui's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he looked very unwell.
"These bastards! How dare they play me!" He patted Jiang Xinrou's shoulder reassuringly: "Xinrou, the producer just called me about this. He said that the Xia family insisted on getting involved and there was nothing he could do. We'll just have to suffer the loss."
"How can this be allowed! I'm just a third female lead, yet I have to waste three months on set! Besides, my scenes will definitely be cut..."
As Jiang Xinrou spoke, she cried even harder, shaking Jiang Minghui's arm repeatedly: "Dad, please think of a way. I don't want to see that woman Xia Shiwen all the time."
“Now that the contract is signed, we can’t breach it. Xinrou, you’ll have to bear with it these days. Dad will definitely stand up for you later!” A sly glint flashed in Jiang Minghui’s eyes. “As for that girl named Xia Shiwen, how dare she bully you? Dad will definitely find someone to teach her a lesson!”
Jiang Xinrou's eyes lit up, and she looked at him expectantly: "Really, Dad? Then you have to teach her a lesson! I've been fed up with her for a long time because she's always going against me!"
"Don't worry, didn't your dad take care of that girl who always went against you back then without anyone noticing? Don't you trust your dad's abilities?"
"Of course I believe you!" Jiang Xinrou hugged Jiang Minghui's arm happily and said sweetly, "I knew Daddy was the best to me!"
On the way back, Jiang Xinrou was still not satisfied, so she picked up her phone and looked at the current trending topics.
Hmph! How could she not vent her anger after suffering so much today?
She'll take down Jiang Ran, the slut she hates the most!
Although the exam results haven't come out yet, she could guess with her toes that Jiang Ran must have failed every subject.
She had been studying in the countryside, and the teaching quality in rural schools must be very poor. I heard that the school she attended only had Chinese and math teachers.
Does that mean she has absolutely no foundation in any other subjects?
Given that she had absolutely no foundation in the subject, and with the school employing bilingual teaching, it was no surprise that she failed every subject.
She immediately ordered her assistant to push the news that Jiang Ran had done poorly on the exam and failed every subject to the top of the trending list, and also arranged a poll comparing the two daughters of the Jiang family.
Finally, she had her assistant arrange for some online trolls to stir up trouble, and only then did she put down her phone, satisfied.
This incident quickly attracted the attention and discussion of netizens.
The news of the Jiang family switching daughters not only spread within the industry, but also sparked heated discussions online.
After all, this incident was so fantastical, it was like something out of a TV drama. Everyone had only ever seen babies switched at birth in TV shows, and no one expected that such a bizarre thing would actually happen in real life.
As daughters of the Jiang family, the two are inevitably compared by everyone.
One is already a popular female celebrity, while the other couldn't even pass the exam!
[Failing even one subject is terrible! Is it a genetic issue or something else?]
[Hahaha, what a loser! I could have done better than her even with my toes!]
[The person above overestimated her. She doesn't need to use her toes; even a dog could score better on a test by throwing a sausage on it.]
[Please don't insult dogs, okay? What did the dog do wrong?]
[Hmph! I've disliked Jiang Ran for a long time. If it weren't for blood ties, would she be able to compare herself to Xin Rou?]
[Who started this poll? Can Jiang Ran even be compared to Xin Rou? One looks like an ugly duckling, no need to even look at her, just blindly choose Xin Rou!]
[Aren't you guys going a bit too far? Jiang Ran was switched at birth, which is why she didn't receive a good education, okay? Jiang Xinrou is where she is today only because of the Jiang family's upbringing.]
[Upstairs, you're going too far! What do you mean Xinrou only got where she is today because of the Jiang family? Does she think her natural beauty is due to the Jiang family? She got where she is today entirely through her own hard work! I think the Jiang family should be glad they switched babies back then, otherwise, would they have such an outstanding daughter?]
[That's right, the Jiang family's genes aren't very good. Have you forgotten what kind of person the other daughter of the Jiang family is? She's Jiang Ran's older sister. If the older sister is like that, the younger sister can't be much better.]
[That's right, but speaking of which, we haven't heard from Jiang's other daughter in a long time. I heard she went abroad a few years ago; I wonder if she's still alive.]
[It would be best if she died; if she died, I would definitely set off firecrackers in front of the gate for three days to celebrate.]
Are you serious? Is this a form of collective punishment? The Qing Dynasty is gone, why are you still using that system of collective punishment? Are you going to execute nine generations of relatives?
[Is the person upstairs a paid troll hired by the Jiang family for Jiang Ran? How can they be online when their own daughter did so poorly on her exam?]
[If you ask me, the Jiang family should kowtow to Xinrou. I wouldn't have used Xinxing Video if it weren't for Xinrou.]
[Well said. The Jiang family should be secretly delighted. They even arranged for their own daughter to vote against Xinrou. Isn't that just inviting humiliation?]
Jiang Ran remained completely unmoved by these comments.
But when she saw the netizens' insults directed at her second sister, her face froze.
The incident back then caused quite a stir, and she didn't know how her second sister had endured all that abuse.
I heard that back then, my second sister would be cursed, insulted, and even beaten wherever she went.
Later, her mental state became somewhat abnormal, and Shen Qingwan had no choice but to send her abroad.
In her past life, she didn't have many memories of her second sister.
They had only met a few times; Shen Qingwan had taken her to visit her at a hospital abroad.
I only remember that my second sister was a very gentle and kind girl.
However, the year after she returned to the Jiang family, news came that her second sister had died in a car accident.
This car accident was not an accident, but a deliberate act.
It was because my second sister discovered that something was amiss about what happened back then and began to investigate.
The murderer panicked and hastily arranged this 'accident'.
After my second sister passed away, there was a wave of celebration online.
Netizens were unaware of the truth and assumed that evildoers would be punished by heaven. They even celebrated and retweeted the second sister's death online.
The real villains are the ones who constantly praise the kind and innocent Jiang Xinrou.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ran felt a heart-wrenching pain.
Jiang Xinrou... Jiang Minghui...
They deserve to die!
Just then, a familiar figure came into her view.
