Chapter 366 I experienced something like this last year.
When Shen Buyu learned about this, he was accompanying Lin Xia to buy a gift for Long Yu.
“The brooch that Brother Longyu wore that day was beautiful; he said it was a gift from you.”
"That was my design project when I graduated from university. Who knew he would still have it?" Lin Xia said, but she couldn't stop smiling.
"Sister Lin Xia, if, I mean if, a layman wanted to make jewelry by hand, how difficult would it be?" Shen Buyu asked.
Lin Xia looked at her teasingly, "With expert guidance, it's not difficult, it'll just be a bit rough. I just don't know who you're going to give it to? My grumpy, temperamental nephew?"
Shen Buyu blushed and whispered in defense, "He doesn't have a bad face, and he doesn't have a temper either."
“That’s for you.” Lin Xia picked up a pair of cufflinks and looked at them. “Xiao Long isn’t suited to such delicate things. He’s always been carefree.”
"Brother Long is a rather unconventional person, but that's a good thing. He's easygoing and doesn't keep anything to himself."
After offering a few words of praise, Chen Buyu's phone rang.
Looking down, he exclaimed, "Huh?"
"What's wrong?" Lin Xia asked, putting down her cufflinks.
“Well, it’s hard to say what the situation is right now,” Shen Buyu showed her his phone. “Long Yu and I are currently in the eye of a storm online.”
Lin Xia frowned more and more as she looked at it.
Under the account of a beautiful woman with over 100,000 followers.
The three pinned videos each have around a million likes.
At first glance, the entire article seems to depict the daily life of a wealthy heiress, but upon closer inspection, it reveals a blatant display of wealth and a tendency to fawn over men.
Clicking on her most liked video, the background was surprisingly at Ling Huiwen's private banquet.
She portrayed herself as the daughter of a wealthy businessman, who had been invited to the event.
To be fair, she's incredibly skilled at editing videos.
He freeloaded food, drinks, and photos, and managed to establish his persona through post-production editing.
She mentioned that the young men in Beijing's social circles were all her childhood sweethearts and suitors.
Her boyfriend was afraid that she would be stolen away by her childhood friends, so he took precautions and even transferred 100,000 yuan to her during a social engagement.
The background is real, the transfer is real, and she's beautiful.
Many netizens took her as real.
They called her 'Young Miss'.
She's clever; in all her videos, only her own face is fully shown.
Other people's photos were either blurred out or only showed their heads and below.
However, she cleverly left a 'flaw' for netizens to dig deeper into.
Wow! My boyfriend has over a thousand watches! That's enough to kill me!!
[Wait, where is this place? So many netizens can't figure it out, I'm speechless!]
[Didn't you see the location marked by the young lady? There's only one villa for sale online right now, and it's only a small goal and a half away.]
According to a friend who wished to remain anonymous, this was the Si family villa, and the dinner was a private affair hosted by Mrs. Si. The families who were invited... well, you know.
【Aaaaaah! What's wrong with having one more rich person in the world?!】
[She's a rich heiress, her boyfriend is a billionaire, and her close childhood friends are all from Beijing's top circles. Does this rich girl need a nanny?]
Numerous netizens have showered her with praise, effectively solidifying her public image.
However, some netizens noticed something unusual.
Scrolling down, within half a month, almost fifty videos all revolved around that banquet.
Her image as a wealthy heiress is in jeopardy.
[They've only ever transferred 100,000 yuan over and over again. They're millionaires, and they only transfer it once?]
[All of the dozens of videos are tagged with "private dinner," this must be your first time there, how much storage does your phone need to have to upload so much footage?]
[It's fake, right? She claims to be a rich heiress, but look at her dress, it's not the latest style at all, it's an old design from years ago.]
[Exactly! Even I, a middle-class person, wouldn't dare wear an old-fashioned style to a banquet, let alone someone from a wealthy family.]
[You're just jealous. Our young lady is low-key, kind, and simple; she doesn't like to flaunt everything.]
[Hilarious! This rich girl attends over a dozen banquets a day, while your rich girl only attends one every ten days or so. And you're still trying to lick her boots? Did she even lower the price of garbage bags for you?]
Normally, minor internet celebrities posting about banquets and such can build a persona, gain followers, and sell products. As long as it's not too outrageous, even if it's scripted, people will accept it.
After all, that's just how the internet culture is these days.
However, her fans are exceptionally protective of her.
Anyone who questions her, even if it's not malicious, will be attacked by the masses, who will dig up dirt on her and expose her shortcomings.
Instead of stopping or explaining, the online celebrity said irrelevant things and even guided his fans to cyberbully ordinary netizens.
This is how public anger was stirred up.
And that's how her account got hyped up and became a trending topic on the internet.
As for Chen Buyu, that was an even more undeserved disaster.
The minor internet celebrity wanted to divert attention and gain popularity from another angle.
In the end, his thoughts still went astray.
Shen Buyu, wearing a small crown and an off-the-shoulder fitted dress, became her target.
The pretty girl's face was blurred out, making her appear as a prostitute who stole her boyfriend and tried to please her sugar daddy.
In one of the videos, she shows her profile and is pulling Si Jingxu down by the collar to kiss him.
The timing was perfect; it was clearly her taking the initiative to kiss him.
"Who is this guy? He must have a death wish to spread rumors about my nephew's precious darling." Lin Xia started cursing after reading it.
Shen Buyu was stunned for a moment, "Wait, Sister Lin Xia, shouldn't your attention be on her claiming to be the girlfriend of the young master of the Long family?"
Lin Xia smiled confidently, "It's obviously a staged accident. Although we've been separated for a long time, I know his character. He wouldn't cheat on me."
According to the girl in the video, she and her boyfriend have reached the point of discussing marriage.
That's even more absurd.
“Yeah, that’s true,” Shen Buyu turned off his phone and continued looking at the gifts. “Whose daughter is this? Is she a fan of Brother Long Yu or a fangirl of Si Jingxu? Why are you insulting her like this?”
"Aren't you feeling unwell?" Lin Xia was surprised by her good mood.
“It’s not painful, it’s no big deal,” Shen Buyu chuckled. “I went through something like this last year.”
After she finished speaking, she paused for a moment.
Last year, she was slandered at school. She felt wronged and sad at the time, afraid of causing trouble for her family, and anxiously waited for her brother to stand up for her.
Now...
Not only was she not uncomfortable, she was actually quite happy.
This is going to be interesting.
That's amazing!
The love she received from her family, lover, and friends completely transformed her.
"How long do you think it will take Xiaolong and his team to find this person?" Lin Xia was in a good mood since she was alright. "Tonight?"
"It won't be that slow." Shen Buyu waved his hand. "We'll have coffee and go home in a bit, then we'll know everything."
One of the people who was falsely accused spent an afternoon shopping with the girlfriend of another person who was also falsely accused.
