Guan Qian has been following the developments on the Internet since Zhao Qi hung up the phone on her.
Her father's company cooperated with the Zhao Group, and the Zhao family was her family's biggest client. Guan Qian herself was a star, and she was used to being praised. However, because of this relationship, when she was with Zhao Qi, she was the one who praised Zhao Qi most of the time. Therefore, although Guan Qian and Zhao Qi were friends, her feelings towards Zhao Qi were actually quite complicated. And Zhao Qi, because of her status as the eldest daughter of the Zhao Group, was always the most popular person among their friends.
Due to this complex mentality, after learning that Zhao Qi's fiancé was stolen by someone, Guan Qian's first feeling was not sympathy, but rather she thought that even the eldest daughter of the Zhao Group could fail sometimes.
Although Zhao Qi said that Shen Mingyou was also a member of the Zhao family, Guan Qian knew that the Zhao family only had Zhao Yan and Zhao Qi, a pair of siblings. Shen Mingyou was either Zhao Zhenhai's adopted daughter or his illegitimate daughter. In any case, she should not be valued by the Zhao family. It's just that no one knew what tricks she used to successfully marry into the Jiang family.
However, Guan Qian thought of Shen Mingyou's face, which was countless times more beautiful than Zhao Qi's, and felt that it was not surprising that Shen Mingyou could marry Jiang Chen. Men are always lustful.
Guan Qian was sure that nothing would go wrong this time because this matter involved Zhao Qi, the eldest daughter of the Zhao family. Shen Mingyou could only swallow this loss, otherwise could she break off relations with the Zhao family?
That's why Guan Qiang dared to do this.
Everything on the Internet was going according to her plan. Seeing Shen Mingyou's reputation being ruined and many netizens scolding Shen Mingyou, Guan Qian finally felt that she had vented her anger. But after receiving Zhao Qi's call, Guan Qian has been uneasy, always feeling that she has overlooked something.
Guan Qian has been trying to contact Zhao Qi, but the call just doesn't go through.
Just when she was comforting herself that nothing would happen, Guan Qiang's eyes suddenly widened as she stared at the tablet and clicked on the two trending searches that caught her attention. Guan Qiang could hardly believe what she saw!
Zhao Group and Sanyan Technology have issued statements one after another to personally refute the rumors about Shen Mingyou!
It turns out that Shen Mingyou is the real eldest daughter of the Zhao Group!
Guan Qian's heart suddenly jumped. How could this be possible? Zhao Qi was obviously the eldest daughter of the Zhao family. How could she suddenly become Shen Mingyou!
Guan Qian tried frantically to contact Zhao Qi, and finally she got through to Zhao Qi on the phone.
"Zhao Qi, what's going on?" Guan Qian's voice was full of shock and confusion, "Didn't you say that Shen Mingyou is not your father's biological daughter?"
After Zhao Qi came out of Zhao Zhenhai's study, she was exhausted. She sat in the room and looked through the comments under her Weibo. Ever since Zhao Group and Sanyan Technology personally refuted the rumors for Shen Mingyou, her former die-hard fans went to her Weibo to question her, asking her why she pretended to be the eldest daughter of Zhao Group.
Those so-called fans used to praise her in every word, but now they are the ones who are stepping on her the most. However, she has never personally admitted on the Internet that she is the eldest daughter of the Zhao family. They have always been talking to themselves. Now that they know she is not, they are blaming her.
"Is it really that important whether the child is a biological one or not?" Zhao Qi asked on the phone.
"Of course it is important, so you lied to me, right?" Guan Qian was furious, "Shen Mingyou is Zhao Zhenhai's biological daughter and Zhao Yan's biological sister. The real eldest daughter of the Zhao family is not you at all!"
Guan Qian gritted her teeth, feeling angry and afraid. What would she do if the Jiang and Zhao families found out what she had done?
Zhao Qi taunted, "You are the one who has no brains. I told you to stay away from Shen Mingyou, but you insisted on dealing with her. Now that something has gone wrong, who do you blame?"
Guan Qian was so angry that she almost died. She had praised Zhao Qi in vain, but it turned out that Zhao Qi was just a fake. "You are so vain. If you hadn't lied to me, would I have dealt with Shen Mingyou?"
The former friends had now completely fallen out and parted ways unhappily over the phone.
Before Guan Qiang had time to figure out how to solve the current problem, a phone call from her father hit her hard.
It turned out that just now, the Zhao Group decided to terminate the cooperative relationship with her family's company and would never cooperate again in the future. Although Guan Qian made money in the entertainment industry, she had only just become famous. Compared with her family's company, what she made was just a drizzle. Her father scolded her on the phone and told her to quickly resolve the matter.
Guan Qian knew that the matter had become a big deal. Since the Zhao and Jiang families already knew that she was the one who spread the rumors, it meant that they already had evidence. She couldn't run away even if she wanted to. The only thing she could do now was to apologize.
Guan Qian first called Shen Mingyou, wanting to apologize in person and seek Shen Mingyou's forgiveness, but Shen Mingyou's phone was always unreachable.
In desperation, she had to contact the agency immediately, and with the help of the public relations team, an apology statement was soon posted online.
@关嫱v: I, Guan Qian, would like to express my deepest apologies to Ms. Shen Mingyou. Because of my own selfishness, I fabricated facts and spread rumors on the Internet, causing great damage to Ms. Shen Mingyou's reputation and interests. I have realized how wrong my behavior was and have reflected deeply. I apologize to Ms. Shen Mingyou again and hope that Ms. Shen Mingyou can forgive my ignorance and incomprehension. In the future, I will always reflect on myself, be careful in what I say and do, and convey more positive energy to the public! @演員沈明柚
As soon as Guan Qiang’s Weibo post was released, it immediately went viral on the Internet.
Guan Qiang is a popular young actress who has become popular recently. She is already very popular and comes from a wealthy family. She once created the persona of a rich second-generation.
After the matter of Shen Mingyou's Cinderella promotion was clarified, rational netizens and fans were scolding the rumormongers and trying to find out who the rumormongers were. But before they could find out, Guan Qian came out and blew herself up.
Netizens and Guan Qiang's fans were all shocked——
"Oh my god, the rumormonger is actually Guan Qiang. Is it because the last time the heroine of "Asking the Sky" was decided to be Shen Mingyou, Guan Qiang is resentful and spreads malicious rumors!"
"Guan Qian's life has been too easy. She finally became famous, got so many endorsements, and gained so many fans. Instead of focusing on filming and consolidating her position in the industry, she got involved in these messy things. Now she knows to apologize, but what were she doing before?
"I used to like you, but I didn't expect you to be this kind of person. Although it is normal for peers to compete with each other, your tactics are too despicable. If you have the ability, you should defeat the opponent with your own strength instead of ruining others' reputations by spreading rumors."
"You should indeed apologize, but why should others forgive you? You spread rumors to suppress others, and now you have hit the two iron plates of the Jiang family and the Zhao family, so you immediately apologize publicly. Are you ignorant? No, you just have to bow your head."
"Hahaha, I thought it would take a long time to sue the rumormonger, but I didn't expect to see the fate of the rumormonger tonight, and it was the popular star Guan Qiang. Hahaha, this slap in the face was too quick and satisfying."
"Guan Qian is a star herself, so she should know how painful it is to be the target of rumors. It takes only one mouth to spread rumors, but it takes a lot of effort to refute them. If the person she bullied today was a small star with no background and no fame, he would probably have to suffer in vain. Fortunately, this person is Shen Mingyou, and her backstage support is so strong that she will not suffer in vain if you bully her. Now, Guan Qian's star career is completely ruined!"
…
Guan Qian knew what kind of consequences she would have to bear after issuing her apology statement. Ridicule and abuse were inevitable, but she had to face it. If Shen Mingyou could forgive her, she might still have a future in the entertainment industry. If she didn't handle it well, not only herself but also her family's company would be implicated.
Guan Qian stared at the comments, her eyes bloodshot from the abusive words used by netizens. Her fans unfollowed her one after another and turned against her. The fame she had accumulated during this period was completely destroyed.
She only hoped that after the apology statement was issued, Shen Mingyou would be able to see her sincerity.
Guan Qian then contacted Shen Mingyou.
But Shen Mingyou still didn't answer the phone. She could only go around to find Shen Mingyou's agent and agency, but the staff there either didn't answer the phone or said they couldn't contact Shen Mingyou, making it clear that they didn't want to bother with her.
Guan Qian was almost going crazy!
Just when she was anxious and helpless, something worse happened.
After Guan Qian became famous, she signed several important endorsement contracts. These endorsement companies unexpectedly issued the same termination statement at the same time.
[Because Ms. Guan Qiang's artist image does not match our company's brand concept, starting today, our company will cancel all cooperation with Ms. Guan Qiang. @关嫱]
"Wow, today I really saw a rare Internet boom. Several brands terminated their contracts with an artist at the same time. This is really history!"
"You deserve it. You should have considered this situation when you spread rumors about others."
"Guan Qiang has been banned, right? There is no other way. Lingyu Capital and Zhao Group are just too difficult to mess with!"
"Will Guan Qiang be able to perform in the future? Alas, she used to be a good actress, but now she has fallen to the point of being banned. Even if she is not banned, she probably won't be able to perform again."
…
Guan Qian read those identical termination statements countless times. Every word seemed to pierce her heart, causing her to bleed with pain.
Guan Qian sat on the floor in a daze. She knew she was finished. The Jiang family and the Zhao family had no intention of letting her go. They wanted to kill her!
**
After the live broadcast ended, Shen Mingyou had time to understand what had happened on the Internet. At this time, everything had been settled, and Guan Qian was being publicly executed on the Internet.
Shen Mingyou directly blocked anyone from Guan Qian's side who tried to contact her. Guan Qian had only herself to blame, and Shen Mingyou didn't have time to pay attention to her.
Compared to Guan Qian's post, Jiang Chen's Weibo post caught her attention more.
It was indeed Nian Nian that she conceived during her honeymoon with Jiang Chen. Shen Mingyou remembered that at that time, she and Jiang Chen were not familiar with each other yet. They were a business marriage and quickly got a marriage certificate after meeting each other. At that time, she had just retired from the entertainment industry. Shen Mingyou just wanted to keep a low profile and did not want to be overly concerned, so their wedding was held on a private island purchased by Jiang Chen. The only guests invited were family members and a few close friends of both parties, and no news leaked to the outside world.
After the wedding, the guests left one by one, and the island was where Shen Mingyou and Jiang Chen spent their honeymoon.
The scenery on the island was pleasant. Apart from Jiang Chen and Shen Mingyou, there was no other person there.
Then, Shen Mingyou quickly fell in love with Nian Nian.
Shen Mingyou's recollections were interrupted by the ringing of the phone. It was Jiang Chen calling.
After the call was connected, Jiang Chen's pleasant voice came from the phone.
"As for Guan Qian, Zhao Yan and I have already dealt with it. As for Zhao Qi, I can't intervene directly, so my father-in-law will handle it on my behalf."
Shen Mingyou replied: "I understand."
After she finished what she wanted to say, both sides of the phone became quiet. Shen Mingyou could hear the breathing coming from the conversation. When she was about to hang up the phone, Jiang Chen suddenly called her: "Youyou..."
Shen Mingyou was stunned. This seemed to be the first time Jiang Chen called her by her name, and it was a nickname that expressed affection.
"Youyou, I'm sorry." Jiang Chen said sincerely. He paused and said, "After reflecting on myself for a while, I seem to know where I went wrong."
"I used to think that a good relationship between husband and wife should give each other the most space, not interfere with each other, not disturb each other too much, and maintain a sufficient distance. In this way, the couple will feel fresh and the relationship will not easily deteriorate," Jiang Chen spoke slowly. He continued, "But now I understand that what couples need most is companionship and mutual dependence."
Jiang Chen's life when he was young was all about studying. He was like a child addicted to games. Apart from studying, he was not interested in anything around him. After entering the workplace as an adult, he directly took over his grandfather's company and became the chairman of Lingyu Capital. His starting point was the end point of others. Because of his high position and great business talent, Jiang Chen never needed to flatter others, let alone pay attention to other people's lives. In essence, he was a proud and aloof person.
Once he has an established idea about a person, a thing or an event, it will not change easily. Take marriage as an example. His understanding of marriage comes from his parents, so he thinks a good marriage should be like his parents’. So after he gets married, he has been running his marriage in his own way, not knowing that his way may be wrong.
After talking with Xiao Hang that night, Jiang Chen seemed to have opened a valve in his mind. He began to pay attention to the lives of people around him. He found out that his driver had a wife and children in his hometown. He had to go home every month and call his wife several times every day. The married employees in his company had to go home every day to buy groceries and cook with their husbands or wives. His business partners would not dare to drink at the dinner table because they were afraid of being scolded by their wives at home. At the dinner table, they had to report their whereabouts to their wives at any time...
There are all kinds of trivial matters in these people's marriages, and they seem happy to share such trivial matters with their significant others. The couples are very close and there is no distinction between you and me... The marriage life of these ordinary people is so different from his and Shen Mingyou's, but Jiang Chen can tell from their faces that they are very happy.
On the contrary, he had always thought that his marriage was perfect, but now he knew that it was only perfect in his imagination. In fact, his marriage had been in jeopardy for a long time.
"Did I reflect correctly this time?" Jiang Chen asked cautiously.
He had been reflecting for so long, but Shen Mingyou kept asking him to continue reflecting. Perhaps that was the reason why he had not reflected on the point.
Shen Mingyou was on the balcony talking on the phone with Jiang Chen. Through the glass, she saw Nian Nian talking to Gu Jin. It was long past Nian Nian's bedtime tonight, but for some reason, Nian Nian seemed a little excited. She didn't want to sleep and kept pestering her grandmother, asking her all kinds of questions. Maybe it was because Nian Nian gave the opportunity to ask questions to other friends during the day, so she just stood aside with her chest puffed out proudly, watching her grandmother giving lectures to her friends. But now, her grandmother belonged to her alone, and she could finally monopolize her grandmother and ask whatever she wanted.
Shen Mingyou laughed, and Jiang Chen, who was on the other end of the phone, finally felt relieved when he heard Shen Mingyou's laughter.
But the next second, I heard my wife say, "That's right."
Jiang Chen: “…”
Right is right, wrong is wrong. Is “calculated as right” right or wrong?
"Then do I still need to reflect on myself?" Jiang Chen paused and added, "When you finish recording the show tomorrow and go home, can I sleep in the master bedroom?"
"..." Shen Mingyou snorted, "You should continue to reflect on yourself."
Then he quickly hung up the phone.
Jiang Chen held the phone with some regret. If he had known, he would not have added the last sentence.
Shen Mingyou leaned against the fence. She had seen the changes in Jiang Chen these days. Everything was moving in a good direction. Jiang Chen had realized that there was something wrong with the way he treated his marriage. Now that he realized it, Shen Mingyou believed that Jiang Chen would change. He was a man who could do anything well as long as he wanted to do it. It was just that Jiang Chen's change was out of a desire to protect his family and to maintain his marriage out of responsibility, not because... he loved her.
So, that alone is not enough.
Shen Mingyou is like a hunter now. She has enough patience to get everything she wants.
