Originally, some unscrupulous media outlets took the opportunity to smear her, but the press releases issued by several major media outlets in the morning were withdrawn in the afternoon, and even reposts could not be seen; they disappeared completely.
Jiang Hua was puzzled and wondered if it was the company's doing. She asked her assistant, and it turned out that the company was not so kind and did not have the financial resources to waste on someone who had already retired from the entertainment industry.
Who could it be?
However, things eventually returned to normal, and she received a call from Su Wenwen. During this time, Gu Cheng was instructed by his girlfriend to visit her, but she refused, saying, "There might be paparazzi hiding near the apartment. My assistant will come to visit for now. Don't worry, I rarely come."
In fact, the assistant rarely comes anymore. The company is extremely dissatisfied with this incident and has assigned new tasks to the assistant. Jiang Hua is alone at home and can only occasionally order takeout.
That's not the worst part. What's truly distressing is that just as the public outcry subsided, Jiang Hua seems to have been cursed, and everything is going wrong for her.
It seemed like someone was deliberately causing her trouble; she was receiving anonymous deliveries at home every day, and her heart almost stopped.
Someone actually delivered rats, cockroaches, and scorpions via express delivery!
It was obvious they wanted to torture her.
Jiang Hua prided herself on being exceptionally brave, but when she received her first anonymous package, she was still quite frightened. Ignoring her pregnancy, she ran to the bedroom as fast as she could, slammed the door shut, and listened to the squeaking of a little mouse, feeling as if her heart was being scratched.
Although they were artificially fed white mice and hamsters, she inherently disliked such creatures.
She immediately called the property management. When the security guard caught the rat, he was in a bad mood because, thanks to her, the entire community was plastered with exaggerated posters and pictures, all of them unflattering photos of her from when she was being targeted. The residents had already complained, and even though the security guards felt sorry for her, they were still annoyed.
"Ms. Jiang, staying at home isn't a solution. You need to go out and resolve this. Think about who you might have offended. Otherwise, if this continues, the other residents will definitely become dissatisfied." The security guard gave her these instructions before going downstairs.
Jiang Hua leaned against the door frame, nodding absentmindedly, already having someone in mind.
Having been in the industry for only a short time, she knew very well that the only people she had truly offended besides Jiang Shiwan were herself.
However, aside from being on guard, she had no chance to resist.
The second time she received a package, it wasn't anonymous anymore, but she didn't know if it was a prank, so she didn't open it and threw it in the trash. But someone brought it up anyway. She answered the delivery call and found out that there were a lot of cockroaches at the door, and the delivery guy didn't want to come in.
“I won’t be delivering your food anymore. At most, I’ll quit this job. It’s always scorpions and cockroaches. Don’t you want to move?” If the delivery guy hadn’t come by so many times and knew that Jiang Hua wasn’t a terribly slovenly person, he wouldn’t have made the suggestion directly.
Jiang Hua looked at the cockroach at the door and remembered hearing the woman across the street scream that morning. She finally understood why. She thanked the delivery guy outside, but she had no appetite at all. She put the steaming food on the table and irritably held her head.
My mind was in complete chaos, and I was on the verge of a mental breakdown.
Meanwhile, Jiang Shiwan plays the daughter in the new drama crew, portraying a glamorous character who is on the borderline of being a mistress, yet not entirely innocent. When she received a call from her assistant, she smiled coldly and gave an ambiguous reply: "Continue, give them a raise, say it's a reward from the sugar daddy."
The person who informed Jiang Shiwan was her maid. In order to strike at Jiang Hua, the maid followed the young lady's orders and found two thugs to harass and intimidate her every day. Now that the initial results were visible, she immediately fawned over her mistress and reported back.
The thugs received generous rewards and their methods became increasingly sophisticated. They dressed up as ghosts at night and knocked on doors incessantly throughout the day, causing considerable disturbance to the residents. The residents protested and suggested that the property management strengthen its management. The property management was forced to install several cameras, but the cameras could only capture two ghostly voices. Moreover, the people involved were completely covered up and it was impossible to tell who they were. When the police were called, they were scolded by the police for wasting police resources.
Therefore, the property management had no choice but to approach Jiang Hua and persuade her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law earnestly: "Why don't you move out first? Because of you, everyone in this area is in a state of panic, and they have no energy to go to work, which seriously affects their quality of life."
However, Jiang Hua's only savings had been used to pay the company's breach of contract penalty, and she was now penniless. Dragging her tired body, she pointed to her pockets and smiled in a way that was more like crying: "Look at me, my pockets are emptier than my face."
Seeing that she was a young woman, and pregnant at that, the property management staff could only shake their heads and leave.
Jiang Hua wrote a letter to apologize to her neighbors. Fortunately, most of the people were kind-hearted and didn't criticize her too harshly. She breathed a deep sigh of relief.
However, her energy was gradually depleted, her nerves were constantly on edge, and she was getting less and less sleep each day. Her health was deteriorating, and she gradually ordered less takeout. She became so thin that only her belly was the largest part of her body. Her limbs were too thin, and her big eyes bulged out, which was frightening to anyone who looked at her. She dared not look in the mirror and did not talk to anyone about it, keeping all her distress to herself.
Even when Su Wenwen, who was in a foreign country, asked, she only reported good news and not bad news, not wanting to delay her friend's studies.
People who once loved beauty so much could never have imagined that this day would come.
One Friday evening, Jiang Hua had just texted Su Wenwen. Because she was too tired, she went to bed early. It was only a little past seven o'clock, but she had only eaten a little millet porridge in the morning. She was tired and hungry, and her head was still hurting. She covered herself with the quilt and went to sleep.
After such a big incident, Ye Mucheng was always uneasy. However, considering Jiang Hua's personality, she was such a strong-willed person. If he went to visit her rashly, it would probably hurt her self-esteem. So he kept telling himself not to rush. Two weeks later, when the public opinion had completely subsided, he drove over at night.
Downstairs, the security guard was very cautious. When he heard who he was looking for, he interrogated him thoroughly: "We have to be responsible to the owners. Recently, there have been many people causing trouble. We hope you can understand, sir."
However, seeing that he was well-dressed and didn't try to hide anything, the gatekeeper believed his story that he was Jiang Hua's friend and let him in.
This is just an ordinary residential community. In fact, you can get in by simply borrowing a resident's room card. However, because of Jiang Hua's situation, the property management is extremely worried and being extra cautious.
As Ye Muchen went upstairs, his steps quickened. The doorman's words alarmed him. He hadn't expected Jiang Hua's situation to be so dire. He was both anxious and heartbroken. When he knocked on the door for a long time without a response, he became completely agitated. He made a phone call while pounding on the door, as if he were about to smash it down.
Jiang Hua was half asleep when her phone kept ringing. Feeling dizzy and lightheaded, she got up, paused for a moment when she saw the caller ID, and then, after only two seconds of hesitation, went to open the door to learn that Ye Muchen was right outside.
