You mock Jiang Si for having poor public image, but you didn't realize that she's a saint to ordinary middle-aged women.
[I saved the video of her kicking the window—oh no, I mean kicking the security bars—it was so cool and awesome!!]
[No haters will jump out and say this is an actor, right? If it is acting, think carefully about whether your idol's acting skills are even worse than an old lady's.]
For a moment, I don't know which one is better at becoming famous.
[Given what Jiang Si has done, calling her a bodhisattva wouldn't be an exaggeration. What's laughable is that she spreads rumors about others; she could knock your teeth out, and she relies on a sugar daddy?]
[And those who are talking about school bullying, I specifically checked, they didn't even go to the same province, so what bullying is there!]
[This isn't about prioritizing academic qualifications above all else. It seems Jiang Si stopped attending school after completing nine years of compulsory education. How could she have deceived a top student into going to university?]
[And those who say she even hired script supervisors and drivers, please open your eyes and look at reality. With Jiang Si's face, she could easily date a rich and handsome guy. Stop fantasizing, you loser.]
The comments section erupted with a barrage of outrageous rumors. Jiang Si, due to her recent bizarre actions, gained a lot of casual fans who joined in the condemnation, turning the comments section into a massive debunking event.
[And that most outrageous comment that Jiang Si is so frail she couldn't be suspended by wires—are you really serious? Ask her legs if they'd agree!]
[That unprofessional one too. I think she's only acted in one drama. I remember that drama's popularity was almost a mystery. The most famous people in the drama were all unknown at the time. When filming started, the drama was practically unknown. The production team was also poor, and they had to stretch the actors to eighteen. Where did they get the money to hire countless stunt doubles for her? And she was the second female lead back then.]
[Haha, even a low-budget, low-quality production team can't afford the lead actress, so would you want this sponsor?]
I heard a rumor that a certain big shot was his mistress, but I haven't seen any subsequent resources she received. If it were true, would there be any scandals? They would have been suppressed long ago.
So, how exactly did those outrageous rumors about her start?
[They're all old foxes, why are they playing ghost stories? She's been smeared with smear articles. She was so popular back then, directors praised her for her talent and beauty. With those two qualities, even if she didn't win any Best Actress awards, she would definitely have a place in the industry.]
Now that the company is gone, I don't know how I'll manage on my own.
I don't know if she'll succeed, but I don't think anyone can bully her.
[No, don't be so naive. Even if she's a master martial artist, she can't fight against many opponents. Who knows, maybe some powerful figure will take a liking to her. What will she use to fight then?]
Wake up! This is a society governed by law. And you're really underestimating Jiang Si. That time she saved people from the fire, she could probably be named a national model of bravery. Who would dare to mess with her like that?
[I'm crying. Why am I not a rich woman? Then I could support her.]
The older woman was very enthusiastic. When she heard that Jiang Si was there to record a program, she quickly asked, "Can I get a drawing?"
"Of course."
As the woman drew, she kept talking: "The young man next door lost his father early and was raised by his uncle. So last night, he slaughtered a pig at home and sent it over."
Jiang Si: "..." So this blood is not that blood. She gave Qi Yan outside the door a half-smile: I'll settle the score with you when we get back.
Qi Yan: "..."
Okay, he misunderstood.
That's the last one left.
Jiang Si declined her neighbor's insistence on inviting her to lunch and headed to her next destination.
Jiang Si: "It's time you improved your professional skills."
Qi Yan knew it was his mistake to mistake pig's blood for human blood, so he remained silent.
Why blame our adorable little baby? He didn't do anything!
Does anyone know what "business skills" means? Wasn't it supposed to prevent our adorable Qi Yan from cheating in the first place?
I always find their conversations completely baffling; it's as if they're talking about some huge secret.
+1, what is it that I can't know?
The third house was located in a more remote area, far from the town center, near a field, a solitary mud house. The exterior walls were very dilapidated, with some parts peeling off, showing a sense of long history.
As soon as Jiang Si approached, she felt a strong sense of fear.
Sometimes, people's emotions are so intense that people with strong senses can sense them.
Jiang Si's heart sank.
A villager carrying several unsold helium balloons happened to pass by and curiously glanced at Jiang Si and her group who were carrying a video camera.
Jiang Si stopped them and asked, "Who are those people?"
The villager asked, "Is this an interview?"
"I guess so," Jiang Si replied. "We're making a TV show."
The villager was a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties who was quite active on Douyin (TikTok) and knew a bit about the tricks of the trade. He was also being interviewed by a beautiful woman, and he was quite excited to be on TV at his age, so he answered the questions with even more enthusiasm.
“That’s Liu Daneng from the village. His parents died early. He went out to work and earned some money, then came back and built a house there. He doesn’t live there much, and only comes back once every year or two.” The uncle kindly told them, “If you want to find him, it will probably be difficult. He’s a loner and doesn’t associate with us. If anyone knocks on his door, he’ll beat them up.”
"I advise you not to go there and run into a wall; he has a bad temper."
Jiang Si and Qi Yan exchanged a glance, realizing that Liu Daneng might be the murderer.
Jiang Si smiled and asked the uncle, "How much are your balloons?"
