Chapter 164 The Real Heiress Kicked Out of Her Home—The Male Lead Appears
By the time Yao Yao dragged her tired body out of the police station, the sun had already set.
Yao Yao took out her phone and saw many missed calls.
Not only Qin Qing's, but also Director Xu's and his friends from the previous film crew.
Yao Yao could basically guess what it was about, so she dialed Qin Qing's number first.
As soon as the call connected, Qin Qing's anxious voice came from the other end: "Yao Mei, are you alright?"
Yao Yao: "It's nothing, I just beat that domestic abuser up pretty badly. Has the video gone viral online?"
Hearing Yao Yao's words, Qin Qing finally felt completely relieved: "Yes, now netizens call you a heroine, Yao Mei. Did you know that you already have over five million followers? In a few more days, I think reaching ten million won't be a problem!"
Qin Qing's voice was very excited. After this incident, Yao Yao's popularity skyrocketed, making her comparable to a top-tier female star!
Yao Yao was also very surprised. After the web series was broadcast, her account only had more than three million followers. She didn't expect that in just a few hours, her followers would exceed five million. That's too fast!
Qin Qing: "Yao Mei, let your fans know you're safe first. I need to continue screening scripts. You don't know, four or five directors contacted me today, wanting to invite you to act in their films!"
Yao Yao smiled happily: "Okay, Sister Qing, you go ahead and get busy."
After hanging up the phone, Yaoyao logged onto Weibo, but she couldn't access the backend at all; there were too many visitors, and it crashed.
While waiting, Yao Yao called Director Xu and her friends in the crew to let them know she was safe.
After a short pause, Yaoyao finally started editing the text:
Hello everyone, thank you for your concern. I just came out of the police station after giving my statement. The woman in the video is indeed me. Acting bravely and righteously is a traditional Chinese virtue, and this is what I should do. I am not injured, and I am fine. Thank you for your concern.
As soon as the Weibo post was published, a flood of comments appeared, and Yaoyao's Weibo account crashed again.
The backend programmers started emergency repairs again.
[Directors of wuxia dramas, take a look at this video! She's the epitome of a wuxia drama heroine!]
[Beautiful inside and out! A positive role model!]
The entertainment industry needs people with both excellent acting skills and good character!
[Please don't cyberbully the bystanders. It's understandable that they wouldn't dare help since they don't have martial arts skills. Besides, that man threatened to kill anyone who helped—it's terrifying! Who would dare gamble?]
This antisocial man should be severely punished! He can't be let off the hook on the grounds of domestic violence! He even dared to threaten the onlookers to kill her entire family; who knows if he won't retaliate against Yao Yao later!
Oh my god! What if that person gets revenge on Yao Yao?
[Alone, Yaoyao can protect herself, but what if there are many people? Oh my god! I don't even want to think about it! Someone come quickly to protect Yaoyao!]
[Such a good actress, we can't let her down. I declare, from now on, whoever hires Ning Yao as their spokesperson, I'll buy their products! May Ning Yao earn lots of money and hire herself a good bodyguard!]
[Yes, yes, yes! Attention all brand owners!]
...
This video not only received spontaneous likes and shares from netizens, but even CCTV, a major media outlet, praised it!
Yao Yao's status in the entertainment industry is approaching that of a top-tier celebrity. The day after the incident, Yao Yao's fan base surpassed ten million, an unprecedented feat.
It was at this time that Ning Jianli learned that Yao Yao had become an actress.
Previously, when Yaoyao was still in the Ning family, she was brought to a banquet. Although she was not specifically introduced, her beautiful appearance always left a deep impression.
That day, Ning Jianli received a call from his old friend Shi Xiang, whom he had never gotten along with.
Shi Xiang: "Old Ning, could you ask one of your relatives to endorse a product for me? Don't worry, the endorsement fee will be fully paid!"
Ning Jianli was completely bewildered; this was the first time Shi Xiang had asked him for help, and it was quite novel.
But he wondered why Shi Xiang had his relatives endorse his products. Besides his daughter-in-law, what other relatives of his were celebrities?
"A relative endorses the product? Old Shi, you must be mistaken. It's not that you're asking my relative to endorse it, but rather my daughter-in-law!"
Shi Xiang: "You're right, Lao Ning. Didn't you bring a relative to the banquet before? Her name is Ning Yao. She's very popular now. Her agent can't get through to her at all, so I'm thinking of taking a shortcut through you."
Ning Jianli's pupils dilated in shock, her face filled with disbelief. She blurted out, "How is this possible? How could Ning Yao become a star?"
Shi Xiang then realized something was wrong: "Old Ning, you don't know yet, do you?"
Ning Jianli was not about to lose face in front of his arch-enemy, so he pretended to be calm and said, "I...I know, let's leave it at that for now, I have something to do."
After saying that, he hung up the phone without waiting for the other person to reply.
Ning Jianli immediately opened his phone and searched for Ning Yao's information, only to find that she had not only acted in a movie, but also saved someone, and was very popular.
Seeing Ning Yao's slapping posture, Ning Jianli felt a surge of pride. He was about to contact Ning Yao on WeChat when he realized he had been blocked.
Left with no other option, he went home and planned to implement his shareholding plan.
During dinner, the family sat together, and Ning Yun and Shui Xiaoxiao also came from their bridal chamber.
After dinner, the family sat down on the sofa again.
Ning Jianli said, "Ning Yun's abilities are evident to all. He will inherit the company in the future, while my shares will be divided equally among you five siblings. I will keep Hanghang's share for now and hand it over to him when he comes of age."
Upon hearing his father's words, Ning Yun frowned and looked over, asking, "So, Ning Yao also has a share in this?"
Ning Jianli smiled and nodded: "Yes, Ning Yao is also my child."
Ning Hang scoffed, "Dad, do you know my sister's really popular lately? You're not thinking of acknowledging her as your sister again, are you?"
Although Ning Hang is young, he is not stupid. Judging from his father's actions today, he must know that his sister has recently become very popular.
Ning Jianli was not angered by his son's words at all. Instead, he said with a satisfied look, "Your sister is very good. She has brought honor to our Ning family."
Ning Hang burst out laughing. Look at him, sir, he's so opportunistic.
"Dad, my sister is very popular now. Even the elementary school students at our school have become her fans. My sister must be making a lot of money now. Believe it or not, my sister might not even care about these shares!"
“My sister’s surname is Ning, but she’s not the Ning Que in our family. My sister has said in interviews that she was born in a rural area and her family was poor. Even if you want to acknowledge my sister, she doesn’t want to acknowledge you!”
Ning Hang pointed out his father's problems without reservation; in this family, he only wanted to be with his older sister, Ning Yao.
Ning Jianli's carefully concealed emotions were once again stirred up by his youngest son.
Chen Shuyan spoke up for her husband, saying, "Hanghang, you've misunderstood your father. He's had this plan for a long time; it wasn't a spur-of-the-moment idea."
Ning Hang simply responded with an "oh," then turned to look at Ning Jiaojiao and asked, "Sister Jiaojiao, do you want Dad to give the shares to my older sister?"
Ning Jiaojiao was stunned. She hadn't expected Ning Hang to turn his anger on her. She forced a smile and said:
"Of course I want to. Yaoyao is also a member of the Ning family, so she should naturally have shares."
"Sister Jiaojiao is quite magnanimous." Ning Hang turned his head and said with a smile, the nine-year-old boy exuding the aura of a domineering CEO.
Shui Xiaoxiao's expression was not good. Recently, Ning Yao's sudden popularity has made her feel a great sense of crisis.
Moreover, according to Brother Li, several brands that originally wanted to sign contracts with her have now backed out and gone to Ning Yao instead!
This made Shui Xiaoxiao extremely uncomfortable!
With a "snap," the sound of chopsticks being placed on the table was particularly noticeable in the quiet air.
All eyes turned to Ning Yun, who said coldly, "Dad, I don't care who you give your shares to. These are yours, so naturally we should follow your wishes."
“However, if Ning Yao moves into this house, Xiao Xiao and I will not. You should consider this carefully.”
"Xiaoxiao, let's go."
After Ning Yun finished speaking, he immediately told Shui Xiaoxiao to leave.
A bright smile immediately bloomed on Shui Xiaoxiao's face.
"Mom and Dad, Xiaoxun, Jiaojiao, Xiaohang, Ayun and I are leaving now."
Shui Xiaoxiao smiled and said goodbye to everyone, then took Ning Yun's arm and left.
The crowd remained silent.

Yao Yao's sudden rise to fame brought with it a flood of endorsement deals and offers for film and television productions.
Qin Qing was not swayed by the words of the brand and the directors, but carefully selected items that suited Yaoyao.
A director from Hong Kong who had won a major award approached Qin Qing, saying he was preparing to direct a new film about the police.
After seeing the video of Yao Yao hitting someone, he wanted Yao Yao to play the leading lady in his drama.
Qin Qing read the script and thought it was really good; she took a liking to it at first sight.
Afterwards, Qin Qing sent the script to Yao Yao and asked her to take a look. Yao Yao was very satisfied after reading it.
Therefore, Yao Yao's second project was decided to be a big-budget movie.
This drama has a huge production team, and the investors behind it are from Hong Kong's Gu family.
However, the series will be filmed in Hong Kong, and the filming period will last about three months.
When Qin Qing was packing her luggage, she planned to go with Yao Yao.
Upon arriving at the airport, Yao Yao gained a new understanding of her popularity, as she was surrounded by layers upon layers of fans as soon as she appeared.
Although there has been no official announcement, many marketing accounts have leaked the news, and Yao Yao's trip to Hong Kong has reassured fans.
After all, films directed by renowned directors are generally of high quality and may even be award contenders.

After the plane landed, staff members quickly came to pick her up and took her to the designated five-star hotel before leaving.
This hotel boasts the best security measures in the port city and is ranked among the top five star-rated hotels in the world. It belongs to the Gujia Group.
After checking in, Yao Yao and Qin Qing decided to go for a walk outside, since fewer people in the port city knew them.
In springtime, the port city is bathed in gentle breezes and bright sunshine, with the fragrance of blooming flowers permeating the streets and alleys.
The cherry blossom trees lining both sides of the street were in full bloom, and the pink and white petals fell like snow, bringing a romantic atmosphere to the whole city.
Yaoyao happily chose a floral dress. The dress was in a fresh and elegant color, covered with delicate floral patterns, as beautiful and charming as flowers blooming in spring.
The dress features a simple yet elegant design, with a fitted cut that accentuates her slender figure. The skirt sways gently, creating a light and graceful effect.
Her long, glossy black curly hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall, the soft strands clinging to her skin and gently brushing against her fair neck and delicate collarbone.
Each strand of hair exudes a faint sheen, as if shimmering with a mysterious light under the sun.
Her swayed gently as she walked, her black hair as light as a willow branch in a breeze.
Her long, black hair not only showcased her graceful beauty and charm, but also added a touch of mystery to her overall appearance.
The two arrived at a highly-rated restaurant located on the top floor of a building, offering a panoramic view of the entire city.
It is said that the people who come here to eat are all rich and powerful, not only because the cuisine is authentic, but also because each dish costs more than a thousand yuan.
Yao Yao and Qin Qing both wanted to try it.
The waiter led the two to their designated seats. After receiving the menu, the two ordered together, a total of five dishes.
While waiting, Yaoyao and Qin Qing chatted and admired the scenery outside the window.
The dishes were as perfect as expected, and the taste was also very unique. Yao Yao and Qin Qing were very satisfied with their meal.
During the meal, Yao Yao needed to go to the restroom. She slowly got up and walked towards her destination with the help of the waiter.
"ah!"
"Excuse me, I'm so sorry." Yao Yao didn't notice someone in front of her when she came out of the restroom and bumped into them.
"It's alright." A clear and melodious voice suddenly came from above, like heavenly music, making people feel refreshed and relaxed.
The clear and accurate Mandarin pronunciation, with every note full of charm and allure, is captivating.
The sound reached Yaoyao's ears, and she unconsciously became captivated.
Yaoyao slowly raised her eyes, her beautiful and captivating eyes seeming to pierce through people's hearts.
The moment she looked up, she unexpectedly met those deep, unfathomable eyes.
Like lightning streaking across the night sky, their gazes met in mid-air, instantly sparking intense flames.
At that moment, time seemed to stand still, and the whole world seemed to consist of only the two of them.
"Can I add you on WeChat?" Yao Yao is not a passive person.
Although this was in a foreign land, it was the first time she had met someone who made her heart flutter in this world, and Yaoyao naturally didn't want to give up this opportunity.
"Okay." The clear voice rang out again, which was a huge bonus for Yao Yao, who was a fan of voices!
The man took out his phone from his pocket, opened the QR code page, and Yao Yao was about to reach into her pocket when she suddenly realized she hadn't brought her phone!
Oh my god! Yao Yao exclaimed in her heart. She was so busy flirting with handsome guys that she forgot her phone was in her bag!
"Sorry, I forgot my phone. Just search for my number and I'll accept the request as soon as I get my phone back!"
Yaoyao looked a little embarrassed.
The man, still good-natured, said, "Okay, go ahead."
Yao Yao quickly gave her phone number, and then reluctantly said goodbye to the man.
