Chapter 167 The Real Heiress Kicked Out of the House—A Twist of Fate
Fans rushed to the scene and kept debunking the rumors in the comments, but the incident still ended up trending on social media.
The hashtag 【Who is behind Ning Yao】 has been pushed to the top of the trending searches.
In this trending topic, the marketing account's Weibo post was pinned to the top, which clearly indicates a deliberate group action.
Haters were celebrating merrily on this hashtag, while fans were seeking help everywhere. Some went to Yaoyao's Weibo to ask questions, some went to Qin Qing for help, and even Director Xu's Weibo was not spared.
When the trending topic appeared, Qin Qing was still working in Beijing. She immediately contacted Yao Yao in Hong Kong, but Yao Yao was filming at the time and her phone was on silent in her bag.
Qin Qing could only contact her assistant, but the assistant knew nothing about it; Yao Yao hadn't told her about her relationship with Gu Mochuan. At Yao Yao's behest, Gu Mochuan hadn't visited the film set; the two had only secretly dated after filming wrapped.
Sensing Qin Qing's anger, the assistant cautiously asked, "Sister Qing, Yao Yao is filming right now. Should I tell the director to pause the filming?"
Qin Qing took a few deep breaths to calm herself down, and then said, "No need, let's wait until after filming. I'll have Yao Mei call me after we're done."
The assistant readily agreed, "Okay, okay, Sister Qing, I understand."
Half an hour later, the filming temporarily came to an end.
As soon as Yaoyao stepped out of the shooting area, she saw her little assistant running over in a panic.
"What happened?" Yao Yao asked, puzzled.
The assistant hurriedly said, "Sister Qing just called, she sounded very anxious. I don't know what it was about, but she said you should call her."
After saying that, the assistant quickly handed Yao Yao her phone.
Yao Yao's heart skipped a beat, worried that something might have happened with her adoptive parents. She took the phone and said, "Okay, I understand."
She took her phone and found a secluded corner.
She opened her phone and saw many missed calls. She tapped on them and found calls from Qin Qing, Director Xu, and others, as well as an unknown number that had been dialed seven or eight times.
Just as Yao Yao was about to dial Qin Qing's number, the unknown number called again.
Yao Yao assumed it was an acquaintance who had changed their number and needed to talk to someone important, so she answered the call without thinking.
Before Yao Yao could speak, a furious roar came from the other end: "Ning Yao, how could you do such a thing! You've completely disgraced the Ning family!"
It was Ning Jianli's voice.
Faced with this barrage of insults, Yao Yao laughed in anger and retorted without hesitation:
“Mr. Ning, although we share the same surname, we have no relation whatsoever. Please do not call me unless you have something to do. If you are really bored, please go find your children and do not bother me, a stranger!”
Ning Jianli's mind was completely preoccupied with Ning Yao and the old man's relationship; he couldn't hear a word Yao Yao said. He spoke in a commanding tone:
"Ning Yao, you must leave the entertainment industry immediately and cut all ties with that old man. I don't want to see any more news about you online. Otherwise, you will never get any shares in the company!"
Yao Yao couldn't understand what he was saying, but it wasn't anything nice. She clicked her tongue and said:
"Excuse me, Mr. Ning, but please allow me to repeat what you said before: If you freeze or starve to death outside, don't expect the Ning family to help you! These are your own words, how can you contradict yourself!"
"Also, rest assured, even if I, Ning Yao, die poor, I will never take any shares from your Ning family!"
Goodbye! Please don't call me again!
Without giving Ning any time to react, Yaoyao hung up the phone.
This phone call really infuriated Yao Yao. The Ning family was like a leech, sticking to her no matter what, which made her angry!
Yao Yao shook her head, shaking off her unpleasant mood, then quickly dialed Qin Qing's number on her phone.
The call was answered immediately after the first sound.
Yao Yao quickly asked, "Sister Qing, has something happened to my parents?"
When Qin Qing returned to the mainland, Yao Yao asked Qin Qing to take care of her parents.
Qin Qing knew that Yao Yao had misunderstood, and said repeatedly, "No, no, Yao Yao, it's not your uncle and aunt, it's you who's in trouble!"
"Huh? What could be wrong with me?" Yao Yao looked confused.
Qin Qing could only describe what happened to Yao Yao in the simplest language.
Yao Yao was completely dumbfounded: "When did I get together with that old man? I was clearly dating Gu Mochuan!"
Qin Qing exclaimed in surprise: "Yao Mei! You're in a relationship?"
Yaoyao said shyly, "Yes, Sister Qing, I'm so sorry, I originally wanted to tell you in person. Who knew I'd be secretly photographed!"
"Gu Mochuan? Why does that name sound so familiar?" Qin Qing wondered.
Yao Yao coughed lightly and said, "It's the president of the Gu Group."
"Wow! Ning Yaoyao, you're amazing!" Qin Qing exclaimed in surprise.
Qin Qing: "So, are you going to go public?"
Yao Yao pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go public. We said before that we'd let things take their course. Now that this kind of thing—taking photos secretly and making up stories—has happened, I definitely have to go public."
"By the way, Sister Qing, did you take any screenshots as evidence? I'm going to sue those who ruined my reputation."
Qin Qing: "Yes, I've already collected all the evidence, you..."
"Holy crap! It's not trending! The marketing accounts' Weibo posts have been deleted too! Good heavens! It's gone from the entire internet!"
"My dear sister, my dear sister, do you think it might be Gu Mochuan who made the move!"
Yao Yao didn't have a tablet nearby, so she couldn't check it in time. She thought about it and realized that the only capable person around her seemed to be Gu Mochuan.
Yao Yao: "I think so. I'll ask Gu Mochuan."
Qin Qing: "Okay, ask around. If you decide to go public, be sure to tell me first so I can prepare in advance."
Yao Yao: "Okay, sure."

While Yaoyao was on the phone with Qin Qing, things were in complete chaos at the Ning family's home.
Today is the weekend, and the Ning family is gathered in the living room.
Ning Jianli learned about Ning Yao's situation from his eldest son, Ning Yun. He was so angry that he called Yao Yao in front of the whole family, but she didn't answer after several attempts.
Until the last call was connected, with the speakerphone on, everyone heard Yao Yao's words.
Hearing Yao Yao's resolute tone in severing ties with the Ning family, Ning Jiaojiao was secretly overjoyed, but on the surface she appeared heartbroken.
After hanging up the phone, Ning Jianli was so angry that his hands trembled, and he kept cursing, "You wretched child! You wicked girl!"
Chen Shuyan was both heartbroken and angry. She gently patted her husband's back, helplessly trying to comfort him:
"Ning Yao is too immature. Luckily, we don't know about her background online. Let's not contact her anymore."
Hearing his mother's words, Ning Yun knew that she still valued the Ning family. He looked at his angry father and said sarcastically:
“Ning Yao didn’t deny the fact that she was with that old man on the phone. No matter how angry you are, it’s no use. You can’t control her. Just listen to your mother and don’t contact her anymore.”
“People find you annoying too,” Ning Yun added.
Ning Jian felt extremely agitated after losing face in front of his child, and he angrily said:
"That's it. The Ning family doesn't have a Ning Yao. She doesn't care about the shares, and I don't need to shamelessly offer them to her. Give that share to Xiao Xiao. Also, if Ning Yao ever needs anything in the future, no one can help her, understand?"
"knew."
"Um."
"Okay, Dad."
"Thank you, Dad."
Everyone agreed, and Shui Xiaoxiao was overjoyed to suddenly have some shares.
Ning Hang remained silent, continuing to scroll through his phone with a blank expression.
Ning Jianli immediately rebuked, "Ning Hang, did you hear what I said?!"
Ning Hang then looked up. Now in fifth grade, Ning Hang had grown taller and was almost 1.7 meters tall. He was a young man now.
"Dad, I heard you. I'm sorry, but I can't keep my word. I'm determined to help my older sister. If you really can't accept it, I'm still a minor, and you can't abandon me. I've thought about it, so maybe you shouldn't give me the shares either."
Ning Hang spread his hands and said fearlessly.
Ning Jianli was so angry at his youngest son's words that he was stunned: "You...you unfilial son!"
Ning Hang didn't say anything, but instead kept looking down at his phone. He really didn't want to argue with his father anymore, and he was worried that he would upset his father and cause him harm.

After hanging up with Qin Qing, Yao Yao found Gu Mochuan's WeChat and made a voice call to him directly.
"Yaoyao, are you done with work today?" Gu Mochuan's magnetic voice rang out from the other end of the phone.
Yao Yao: "No, Gu Mochuan, did you handle the matter on Weibo?"
Gu Mochuan was taken aback, not expecting Yaoyao to guess so quickly: "Yes, that's right."
Yao Yao smiled; her boyfriend is really responsible!
"Gu Mochuan, thank you!" Yaoyao said sweetly.
Gu Mochuan: "Yaoyao, you are my girlfriend, there's no need for formalities between us."
Yao Yao looked up at the azure sky, her eyes sparkling, and said with a smile, "Gu Mochuan, let's make it official."
Gu Mochuan didn't hesitate: "Okay."
Yao Yao: "Then let's come up with a copy, hmm..."
She was deep in thought, and Gu Mochuan didn't urge her, but waited quietly.
"Let's do the simplest way to announce it: I'll tag you and say, 'This is my boyfriend,' and you'll tag me and say, 'This is my girlfriend,' how about that?"
Gu Mochuan naturally agreed.
Yaoyao: "Gu Mochuan, is your Weibo username your real name?"
Gu Mochuan: "I don't have a Weibo account yet. Wait for me, I'll register one right away."
Yao Yao: "Okay, let me know on WeChat after you've registered."
Gu Mochuan: "Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Yao Yao first opened Qin Qing's WeChat and sent her a message.
[Sister Qing, in about ten minutes, Gu Mochuan and I will be going public with our relationship.]
Qin Qing replied quickly: 【Okay! Going public is fine too. Right now, everyone online is speculating that it was your backer who made the move, but they all still think the backer is an old man. These haters are acting like angry young men, demanding an explanation from Weibo officials.】
Yaoyao: [How are my fans doing?]
Qin Qing: [Don't worry, I've already reassured them in the fan group, saying that those things are all fake and there will be a clarification today.]
Yaoyao: [That's good!]
Gu Mochuan: [Yaoyao, the person in this screenshot is me, and the account name is my name.]
Yao Yao sent an OK emoji.
Switching to Weibo, Yao Yao ignored her overflowing private messages and directly edited the text:
This is my boyfriend @Gu Mochuan.
Gu Mochuan also acted quickly, posting a Weibo message at the same time:
This is my girlfriend @Ningyao.
As soon as the fans refreshed the page, they saw Yao Yao's Weibo post. Although they were shocked, her true fans immediately sent their blessings.
After offering my blessings, I followed Ai's lead and opened her boyfriend's Weibo account.
What is this? It's a completely new account; I can't tell anything about it.
Fans' hearts sank again, worried that the rumor might come true.
Haters also rushed over upon hearing the news, flooding the comments section of the two individuals to mock them.
[They're registering a new account and claiming it's their boyfriend? Could this boyfriend just be a bot with no account? The name is probably made up too.]
[Not necessarily. It could be some unknown old man who registered for love, hahaha, didn't you see it's already officially announced!]
Being a female celebrity is really tough. She has to endure things most people wouldn't, and kiss those old men most people wouldn't dare to.
[This non-celebrity boyfriend is so unremarkable! Fans are still foolishly sending their blessings, thinking it's true love! Listen to me, when the entertainment industry starts comparing "brother-in-laws," you guys better stay away, your idols' "brother-in-laws" are just too awful!]
Are you really an old man? Between you and Ms. Ning's father, who is slightly older?
Just as the haters were celebrating and the fans were trying their best to control the comments, a repost from one account completely stunned everyone.
Gu's Group's official Weibo account first reposted Yao Yao's Weibo post:
[A warm welcome to the boss lady! I was a little late because I was grabbing the official announcement red envelope from the boss in the group chat, please forgive me, boss lady~]
Subsequently, the Gu Group reposted Gu Mochuan's Weibo post:
[Boss, I told you to register an account a long time ago, but you wouldn't listen. Now look what happened, I have to verify your identity. And your few followers are just not worthy of our boss lady!]
After forwarding the Weibo post, the official account of Gu's Group immediately released a video of Gu Mochuan.
It's a video of Gu Mochuan entering the company through the main gate, accompanied by the following text:
[Hmph! Our boss isn't an old man; our CEO Gu is in his prime! Here's a classic video that one of our employees has been hoarding—CEO Gu's long legs are enough to make anyone swoon!]
Fans and haters alike were stunned. What happened to the old man?
Who is this handsome guy?!
[Oh my god! Is this the brother-in-law Yao Yao found for us?! Who in the Chinese entertainment industry can compare to him?!]
[Waaaaah, the story of a top Chinese celebrity and a Hong Kong tycoon! It's like something out of a novel!]
[Where are the haters? Stunned now! Let's see if you dare bark again!]
[Quick, quick! Follow President Gu now, or Yao Yao will definitely laugh at him! Hahaha, let me laugh first!]
[That was so satisfying! This plot twist was so gratifying!]
[The group's editor said that the old man you're talking about is President Gu's personal driver, who has worked for the Gu family for many years. Yao Yao was just saying goodbye when she left!]
[Hehe, the editor just replied to me, saying the lawsuit documents are ready and will be announced tomorrow. Haters, tremble!]
