She tilted her head, looking around at the people with hopeful eyes, wanting to get her answer.
One of them had a strange expression, clearly the leader. But Jiang Shiwan felt as if he were looking at an idiot.
"Just come with us. Do you want to be on the front page tomorrow saying that a popular celebrity was threatened and taken away at the airport?"
His voice trailed off, and Jiang Shiwan frowned in displeasure. She knew what he meant; she wondered what he could possibly do with her, and how the paparazzi would fabricate stories to ruin her reputation...
Since Gu Yiming wanted to see her, she decided to follow him. However, when they arrived at an alley, the leader of the group gave her a beating.
"President Gu said you should stay put and not be ungrateful, otherwise the consequences will be more than just a beating. You can try our methods now. We don't mind warming up, it's good for your health."
"Didn't he want to see me? Why isn't he coming out to see me?"
Jiang Shiwan covered her face, tears welling up in her eyes. She had been slapped twice, one on each side, neither too hard nor too soft. But she was still dissatisfied, thinking that Gu Yiming would punish her after they met, but now there wasn't even a trace of him.
The leader found it amusing to see her so stubborn: "How can the eldest daughter of the Jiang family be so naive? Oh, right, they say that people who live in love have an IQ of 250, and it's true."
"You insulted me? Who gave you the guts?"
She had just been wronged, but it was Gu Yiming's order after all. Now she was being scolded by someone else's servant; how could she feel good about it?
"Mr. Gu was afraid of making a big fuss by disciplining you at the airport, so he just wanted to teach you a lesson."
Jiang Shiwan glared at him angrily, only to see him pat her face mockingly before leaving with his entourage.
"Jiang Hua, you better remember this."
She was very frustrated. Why was she always the one who was unlucky, while Jiang Hua had a bunch of people around her who cared about her and looked out for her?
But what about her? She has nothing. Even Gu Yiming, her rightful fiancé, is doting on that little hussy. It's disgusting.
Jiang Shiwan cursed for a long time, exhausting most of her strength. She returned home in a disheveled and dejected state.
"Why are you dressed like this? Look at yourself!" Jiang's mother had planned to give Jiang Shiwan a proper welcome when she saw her return, since she felt extremely satisfied watching the online criticism of Jiang Hua. However, she did not expect Jiang Shiwan to be dressed like this.
He immediately pointed at her with a look of disgust: "What kind of appearance do you have? Look at you, and you still look like a popular star? Did you just come back from the film set and play a beggar? You're filthy. How can a woman not take care of herself like this? Tsk tsk tsk, you're dressed like a shrew."
"Mom!" Jiang Shiwan was scolded by her mother as soon as she got back, and she felt very wronged. Thinking about the beating she had just received, she was on the verge of a breakdown.
"What happened to Shiwan?"
Upon seeing this, Jiang's mother immediately understood, realizing that her daughter must have been bullied to have become like this.
"Did someone bully you? Tell Mom, and I'll go and bully her. You have such audacity!" Jiang's mother pulled Jiang Shiwan to sit on the sofa, looking at her with a pained expression. "Did Jiang Hua bully you? It must be that brat, right?"
"It was Gu Yiming. He taught me a lesson again because of Jiang Hua. He even had me beaten up just now. Look at the slaps on my face."
Jiang Shiwan, with a look of accusation, recounted the whole incident to her mother as if she had experienced it all over again.
"You!" Jiang's mother sighed, somewhat helpless and dissatisfied. "How many times have I told you? Why can't you learn your lesson? I've told you not to mess with Gu Yiming, but you still did. Do you think you can afford to mess with him? And why don't you think before you act? You deserve to be caught and beaten by him. You're practically standing right in front of him, as if you're telling him nakedly, 'Come and get me!'"
"But he was protecting Jiang Hua..."
"Where's your brain?" Jiang's mother gritted her teeth, looking exasperated. "How could I have given birth to such a stupid child? You can't even create a proxy ID, yet you go and smear others and get into arguments. What's wrong with your brain? Who else would Gu Yiming turn to if not you?"
"I..." Jiang Shiwan was momentarily speechless, but then she realized that what her mother said made sense. How could she have forgotten at such a crucial moment?
She pursed her lips, her feelings quite complicated.
"You're not the only one in the world who criticizes her, but you always seem to be the first to rush in and get yourself killed. Besides, the people around you are the easiest to deal with." Jiang's mother rolled her eyes at Jiang Shiwan, feeling exhausted by her daughter's brain.
"Mom, I understand what you mean."
After understanding, Jiang Shiwan immediately went online to find online trolls to help her.
"Let's see how you can defeat me."
Jiang Shiwan sneered, she was just waiting to make Jiang Hua's life a complete mess.
Before long, countless negative stories about Jiang Hua appeared on the trending topics. Jiang Shiwan browsed through them one by one, and her mood instantly improved. She seemed to have been rejuvenated, and there was no trace of the disheveled appearance she had just had when she was beaten.
After all, with so much dirt on her, even if the storm has passed, it will always remain in the annals of history, unforgettable. Let's see what kind of woman she is. Does she still dream of surviving in the entertainment industry?
Don't even think about it, it's ridiculous.
"Jiang Hua, just wait until you're completely ruined. I'd love to see that day come."
She burst out laughing. She knew exactly what was going to happen next, so she didn't watch any longer. She got up and left the room to celebrate with Jiang's mother.
The internet was in an uproar, and Jiang Hua's dark history was fully exposed to the public, taking the history of being vilified to a whole new level.
Sleeping with her sister's fiancé, and going in and out of hotels with unknown men... all these scandals have become the subject of public amusement. However, a small number of people understood the situation and stopped criticizing her, simply watching with a "let's see what happens" attitude.
But most people continued to hurl insults. Jiang Hua only had one Weibo account, and it was a system-wide account welcoming new members. The comments section was a complete mess, filled entirely with abusive and profane language. It was almost unbearable to look at.
The agent had just sat down in the office swivel chair when he saw the trending news on the computer screen, and his hand holding the teacup trembled involuntarily.
She remembered that Gu Yiming had gone to deal with it, so why was it getting worse? Did Jiang Hua commit some sin in her past life that so many people couldn't stand it and were relentlessly trying to smear her?
The agent rubbed her forehead, feeling utterly exhausted. What could she do? She was Jiang Hua's agent; she had to clean up this mess. But it seemed more effective for the person involved to handle it themselves.
After all, Jiang Hua herself doesn't care about anything, and even when she's being attacked like this, she doesn't have much to say... The most important thing is her attitude.
She quickly called Jiang Hua, but the other party didn't seem to care.
"This is your career path, not mine. I'm not going to follow you around cleaning up your mess. Make a statement on Weibo, you should at least show some kind of response."
"All right."
