Before Jiang Ningxi could even see what was going on inside...
A strong smell of alcohol wafted over, making her frown.
No wonder I couldn't wake him up; he was drunk.
She simply bent over and walked in.
Sure enough, I saw someone fast asleep, wrapped in a blanket.
She reached out to pull the blanket off, but to her surprise, the person inside held it tightly.
Jiang Ningxi was somewhat amused and exasperated. "So you're awake."
"Sit up and talk to me right now."
But the only response she received was a muffled sound coming from under the covers.
"Leave me alone."
Jiang Ningxi took a deep breath. "You're living in my house, and you expect me to leave you alone?"
"If you weren't my real brother, you'd see how lazy I am at caring about you!"
These words finally elicited a response from the person who had been hiding in the corner with their head covered.
A head with a dog-nest-shaped bun poked out, its eyes bloodshot and dark circles under its eyes.
Where is his usual sunny and handsome appearance?
"What happened to you? How much did you drink?"
"Are you stupid? Punishing yourself for someone else's mistakes? Idiot!"
In an instant, Jiang Yuchen couldn't help but rush towards her and burst into tears.
"Waaaaah—Ning Xi, I didn't plagiarize! I really didn't plagiarize!"
"That song was clearly written for you, how could I possibly plagiarize someone else!"
"Damn it! That Lin Taiyan! I never expected that after so many years of friendship, he would treat me like this. I can't explain myself no matter how hard I try!"
Jiang Ningxi was stunned for a moment, then raised her hand and patted his shoulder, which was sobbing.
"Of course I know you didn't plagiarize."
Actually, she was in such a hurry to get back that she didn't really look at the trending topics to see which song Jiang Yuchen had plagiarized.
But now that she heard him say that, she understood.
The song he wrote for her was stolen.
"No matter which song it is, I know you couldn't have plagiarized it."
"Either you don't write at all, or if you do write, it must be original!"
She was the first person to so firmly believe in him after the incident.
He raised his hand to wipe away his tears, sat up straight, and continued to sob.
"It's also my own fault. I always prefer to write songs on paper and only record them on computer software after I've finished writing them. This has led to Lin Taiyan starting to write songs earlier than I have."
"After the incident, my dad blamed me for causing trouble and told me to quit the entertainment industry and never go back in."
"My mom feels sorry for me and says she'll spend money to hire online trolls for me, but she doesn't know that hiring trolls won't help this."
Because now it's not just one platform attacking him, many of his rivals are also taking this opportunity to attack him.
Besides the plagiarism issue, all sorts of other things have been exposed.
He's now been completely ostracized.
The number of followers on Weibo has been declining, from 80 million at the beginning to only 3,000 now, and it continues to drop.
He was completely numb and turned off his phone, not wanting to look at it anymore.
"Later, my mom also told me to quit the entertainment industry."
"But this is not what I wanted. I did nothing wrong!"
After saying that, he turned around and covered his head with the blanket, hiding inside and making whimpering noises.
Jiang Ningxi: ...
This is the first time I've ever realized that this guy is so fragile and prone to crying.
So she reached out and patted his back again.
She tried to soften her voice as much as possible and said, "Okay, okay, stop crying."
But I could hear him still sobbing.
Jiang Ningxi really felt her head was spinning.
He yelled directly at her, "Stop crying!"
Suddenly, there was silence from under the covers.
However, if you listen carefully, you can still hear soft sobbing.
Jiang Ningxi had no choice but to speak again, "What if I said I have a way to help you?"
Suddenly, Jiang Yuchen threw off the covers and sat up.
Those swollen, red eyes were wide open.
"Really? You're not kidding me, are you, sis?"
Jiang Ningxi chuckled, "Of course... no!"
Jiang Yuchen's heart was in turmoil as she spoke.
"Tell me your idea quickly."
"Just tell me your conditions, and I'll do whatever I can!"
Hearing him say that, a smile flashed in Jiang Ningxi's eyes.
I just wanted to tease him.
Do you have any money left?
Jiang Yuchen's mind went blank for a moment.
Oh right, he doesn't have much money left in his account.
Moreover, now that his own career has collapsed, he doesn't know when he'll receive a new announcement.
Thinking this, he lowered his head.
Look at his pitiful appearance; his once bright and sparkling dog eyes have become dull and lifeless.
Jiang Ningxi couldn't help but laugh again, "I don't want your money."
Jiang Yuchen looked up instantly, her face full of surprise, "You don't want my money? Then what do you want?"
It's free! That's amazing.
Jiang Ningxi crossed her arms and smiled, "Because this time I want something even bigger!"
"The Jiang family's shares!"
These words did surprise Jiang Yuchen, who blinked her round eyes rapidly.
After a moment, he finally spoke, "Do you want my future share of the Jiang family business?"
It's not surprising that the Jiang family's children will all receive a share in the future.
That's how it is in every wealthy and powerful family.
He raised his hand and scratched his head. "Dad will save a portion for you later too."
"Can I have an extra one?" Jiang Ningxi asked earnestly.
