Jiang Xin took her phone out of her pocket and handed it to Yan Ling. Yan Ling used her phone to open Weibo and then found the comment section where she had just argued with netizens.
"Tell these people, was it me who turned you into a bad person?"
Jiang Xin took the phone, completely bewildered. After seeing the comments, she looked sadly at Yan Ling and said, "I'm sorry, it's all because of me that you got scolded. I'll tell them the truth right now!"
Jiang Xin posted a message on her Weibo account.
I am Jiang Xin, and I want to thank someone here, namely my boyfriend Yan Ling.
I was adopted by the Ye family when I was five years old. Although they provided me with a comfortable life, I couldn't feel the warmth of family in their large home. My parents were always busy with work and didn't have much time to take care of me. They only gave me cold material things, but ignored my true inner needs.
I felt very depressed and miserable at home. Yanling was the light in my life; he gave me warmth.
I don't agree with my parents' views on love. They think I should find someone of equal social standing, but only I know how wonderful Yanling is. He may not have money, but that's not a flaw. I don't want to eat French food at restaurants every day; I'm tired of it. I just want to eat the meals he cooks for me.
As long as I'm with him, I'm the happiest person in the world!
Jiang Xin's confession attracted countless netizens as soon as it was released, but after reading it, everyone fell silent.
[Am I looking at this wrong? Why am I seeing such bizarre comments?]
[This is a kind of love that we mortals are not worthy to understand.]
【I choose cold, hard realities! What are men anyway? If you have money, why would you need a man? Isn't it better to spend your own money?】
"Cuiguo, smash her mouth open!"
Is this really not Versailles? I'm so tired of eating French food every day...
This is difficult to assess; I wish you success.
It's hard to imagine that this was written by a woman with higher education; someone unfamiliar with the field might mistake it for a piece of Mary Sue fiction written by an elementary school student.
Set aside the urge to help others and respect their fate.
I'm reminded of a quote I once saw: When a ray of light shines into darkness, that light becomes sinful.
After posting on Weibo, Jiang Xin didn't look at any further updates. She said quietly, "I'm done posting. Let's go eat."
Seeing her meek and submissive demeanor, Yanling didn't lose his temper anymore. He took the phone from her hand and walked out while looking at it.
At the dinner table, Jiang Xin tried her best to make conversation to ease the atmosphere, but Yan Ling's entire attention was focused on the comments from netizens, and she would only occasionally give her a perfunctory "hmm".
Jiang Xin smiled as Yan Ling finally responded, wondering if she should go to the mall to buy Yan Ling some clothes tomorrow since she had the day off.
Jiang Xin's confession caused a stir on Weibo and firmly fueled the hatred, with netizens transferring all their dissatisfaction with Yan Ling onto Jiang Xin.
Even many influential figures couldn't help but criticize her, saying that she was conveying incorrect views to the public.
She also cautioned netizens that love is not everything in life, and that women should have self-awareness and independence, and not place their hopes on others.
During this time, Mingyue went on a trip with her parents and was completely unaware of the events happening online.
The statement was issued by the public relations department of Chenguang under the instruction of Ye Beichen. Ye Boxian and Shu Yuqing were in a semi-retired state, and Ye Beichen was in charge of all matters, big and small, of the company.
Ye Beichen had mixed feelings about the buzz Jiang Xin brought to the company.
He was worried that uninformed netizens would criticize the Ye family. He himself didn't care, but he didn't want his parents to be vilified because of it.
Fortunately, the outcome wasn't too bad, and the company's stock price also rose.
Thinking of this, Ye Beichen asked his assistant to book a restaurant so he could properly thank his wife.
Fang Ying saw the video of Yan Ling and Jiang Xin the night before, and she immediately asked Ye Beichen to prepare the press release for the next day.
Ye Beichen rarely has time to check Weibo, and he is completely unaware of netizens' curiosity.
But Fang Ying is different. She is a first-hand observer and knows that if netizens are interested in something, they will definitely dig into it and eventually find out about the Ye family.
Being passively attacked could easily lead to unforeseen changes, and the Ye family could not sit idly by and wait for their doom.
Fang Ying explained to Ye Beichen how resourceful netizens are, and that it's better to prepare in advance than to have the relationship between the Ye family and Jiang Xin exposed by netizens later.
Moreover, Fang Ying knew the importance of public opinion. She told Ye Beichen that since they had decided to issue a statement, they should simply reveal the truth to the world. Otherwise, allowing netizens to make wild guesses would be detrimental to the Ye family.
This led to the subsequent short essay written by someone claiming to be an insider.
The Ye family won this online public opinion battle brilliantly, not only distancing themselves from Jiang Xin but also enhancing Chen Guang's social image.
Ye Beichen should thank Fang Ying properly; if it weren't for her keen insight, the Ye family wouldn't have weathered the corporate crisis so smoothly.
