Through two live broadcasts, Lin Dan has established a very lofty image in the hearts of the audience. She is beautiful, kind-hearted, versatile, graceful, and the brilliance of humanity shines everywhere. But now, someone actually told them that everything Lin Dan showed was fake, that she was actually an ugly village woman at heart, and that her beauty was a work of art cut out by a scalpel. Therefore, the more noble the image she had established before, the greater the negative effects would be after its collapse. The collapse of a one- or two-story house is just an accident, but the collapse of a skyscraper is a disaster.
As soon as her ugly photos were released, scandals about Bai Zhilan being a child prostitute and having committed crimes also came out, which was simply adding insult to injury.
Lin Dan's sudden popularity on the Internet, along with the addition of these two pieces of negative information, was like gunpowder poured into a barrel of explosives and a fuse was added, instantly blowing their fans to pieces. However, the black fans and trolls who originally hated them went on a wild goose chase and started spreading all kinds of rumors.
Some people said that Lin Dan had plastic surgery in order to appear on TV and hook up with rich men; some people said that she paid a lot of money to the program crew to create some fake plots to hype her up, that Li Xiaona and Mei Zi were both actors she invited, and that her medical skills were fake; others said that the orchids in her greenhouse were cut from the mountains and were nationally protected plants, and that she had broken the law and would be arrested and sent to jail...
Public opinion is something that is extremely easily misled, and what is even more frightening is that the huge social opinion has actually attracted the attention of relevant departments, and they are preparing to launch an investigation into Lin Dan. Under the instigation of some people, the Forestry Bureau and the police issued a warning notice, which was undoubtedly the last straw that broke the camel's back.
The haters and trolls were overjoyed, and even Lin Dan and Bai Zhilan’s die-hard fans didn’t dare to defend their idols.
When the situation escalated rapidly, Lin Dan and his team were still broadcasting live and had no idea what was happening on the Internet. For some unknown reason, the live broadcast platform did not cut off the signal, but upgraded the server as quickly as possible. Then the number of viewers in the live broadcast room jumped from 6 million to 8 million, then to 9 million, and then to 10 million...
There is no doubt that this brilliant data will create a new piece of history. Regardless of whether the ending of Lin Dan and Bai Zhilan is good or bad, the live broadcast platform will be the final winner.
An Lang was still moving cardboard boxes in the attic and didn't bring his cell phone, so he missed the call from his special assistant. Then everything broke out, and the destructive venom was quietly approaching Lin Dan and Bai Zhilan.
Under the contemptuous, disdainful, or disgusted gazes of the audience, Lin Dan sat opposite Bai Zhilan and spoke slowly: "I know that since the first day you came here, you have a lot of questions in your heart. Now let's sit down and have a good chat. Ask whatever you want. I promise to answer any questions you have honestly and without hiding anything."
[Ask her why she wanted plastic surgery.] 】
[Ask her where she had the plastic surgery and why the results were so good. 】
[Ugly bastard, plastic surgery freak!] I thought you were so noble, but it turns out you are just a vain person! 】
[Perhaps it’s because the image of Bai Ma in my mind is too holy, I really can’t accept that she used to be such an ugly person. She also arbitrarily cut down nationally protected plants. She really has no bottom line when it comes to making money! 】
[I am an orphan. In my imagination, my mother should be like Bai Ma, strong, warm, beautiful, and possessing almost all the advantages. But now, I really can't describe how disappointed I am. There is really nothing wrong with plastic surgery. Everyone loves beauty and it is human nature. But you cannot break the law or create gimmicks to deceive the audience. If even your appearance is fake, can we still trust your medical skills and your character? 】
At a glance, there were almost no positive comments in the live broadcast room. Some people even said with a little expectation: [When will the people from the Forestry Bureau and the Public Security Bureau arrive? I want to see the scene where Bai Zhilan's mother is arrested and sent to jail. 】
[This is good, this is exciting!] When the time comes, I will definitely reward the public security comrades! It is said that like mother, like daughter. Bai Zhilan went out to sell herself at a very young age, so her mother must not be a good person. Why don’t people like this get out of the entertainment industry? After looking around, I think the white bamboo in my garden is the purest. 】
Amid the malicious criticism from the audience, Bai Zhilan opened her mouth, then closed it again, then smiled and shook her head: "I don't have anything to ask."
"Really? If you don't ask this time, maybe you won't have the chance in the future. You also know that I have always been a man of few words." Lin Dan said calmly.
Bai Zhilan seemed to be touched. She kept scratching her sleeves with her nails. After a long while, she said in a hoarse voice: "Do you love me? Do you care about me? If you love me, then why didn't you come to see me in the past fifteen years? Is it because I'm a star now that you recognize me? I want to know what I mean to you."
Bai Zhilan looked straight at Lin Dan, not daring to miss any change in her expression.
The audience laughed and posted bad comments. The two most frequently used words were "showy" and "pretentious". Now, no matter how the two behaved in front of the camera, everyone thought they were faking it and that it was a pre-written script.
Lin Dan pondered for a while before slowly speaking: "Do you know what's in these boxes?" She picked up a utility knife and cut open the box marked with the number "26".
Bai Zhilan sat on the sofa, watching her every move numbly. She had no idea what the boxes had to do with her problems.
Lin Dan took out the CDs and posters from the box one by one, placed them on the table, and explained: "This is your album "Dark Forest" released at the beginning of this year. In order to support your sales, I subscribed to 100 copies." A box was quickly emptied by her. She opened boxes 25 and 24, and found rows of albums and posters inside, all with "Dark Forest" on the cover.
Bai Zhilan looked at the album for a while, then looked at Lin Dan, her face full of surprise. However, this was not the end. Lin Dan opened boxes 23, 22, and 21, took out the contents, and continued, "This is your album Crazy, which was released last November. I subscribed for 100 copies," followed by boxes 20, 19, and 18. "This is your album The Beast's Struggle, which was released last March. I subscribed for 100 copies," followed by boxes 17, 16, 15, 14, and 13. "This is your album Shout, which was released the year before last. I subscribed for 1,000 copies."
Lin Dan placed all the albums neatly on the table. If there was no more room on the table, he put them on the floor. Then he opened all the boxes from 12 to 2 and sighed, "This is the first EP you released. At that time, you were competing with another singer for sales, so I bought all the discs I could. I'm just a gardener, I don't have any skills, this is the only thing I can do for you."
The tables, cabinets, antique shelves and even the floor in the living room were filled with albums, leaving no room to step. Bai Zhilan's face appeared on the cover of every album, like a pair of eyes, examining everyone in the living room. Bai Zhilan was already stunned and had no idea how to react.
An Zhongying covered her mouth and whispered "Oh my God".
An Lang's eyes were deep and his expression was unpredictable, but An Zishi stared at Lin Dan with slightly red eyes. He had never expected that Aunt Lin's calm and wise appearance concealed such passionate emotions. Every album on earth is her love for Bai Zhilan. If maternal love is rated 100 points, then her amount almost exceeds the limit.
The disgusted audience went from noisy to quiet, and from quiet to fully engaged. Looking at this ocean of albums, they all thought of the same thing: No matter how crazy the fans are, they probably can't compare to Bai Zhilan's mother.
Lin Dan opened the last box and took out a stack of tickets: "These are your concert tickets. I bought all I could. I will run to see you no matter how far away I am."
She took out a stack of photos and said, "This is what you looked like when you were fifteen and in your second year of high school. You fell in love with rock music and wore strange clothes all day long. You also learned to smoke and drink. I didn't like it very much, but I didn't dare to rush up to you and teach you a lesson. I was afraid that you couldn't accept a mother like me."
"You, how come you have a photo of me when I was fifteen?" Bai Zhilan's throat was completely dry, and a guess emerged in her mind.
"Because I was by your side when you were fifteen. You wanted to study music abroad, but Bai Pengfei disagreed. You had a big fight with Liu Manni and she kicked you out of the house. You went to live with your good friend, who had no parents. She was the only one with her grandmother, so you lived on her balcony and had to pay her one hundred yuan a day for accommodation. You knew she was exploiting you, but you had no choice because you were Bai Pengfei's daughter and no one would think you had no money."
"Seeing you crying downstairs of her house, I rented the basement of that building and pretended that I opened an online store, but my leg was injured and I couldn't deliver the goods myself. I chatted with you and asked you to help me deliver. As a reward, I gave you 200 yuan a day. You were so happy that you rode a tricycle to help me deliver the cargo boxes in the basement to the express delivery point before dawn. But you don't know that those boxes are full of bricks. After you deliver them every day, I ride a tricycle to transport them back myself. Seeing that you kept looking up information about foreign music colleges, I thought that since Bai Pengfei was unwilling to send you abroad, I would do it myself. So I took the time to go back to my hometown and sold most of the orchids. Only orchids that have bloomed can be sold at a high price. Orchids that have not bloomed are worthless. I don't know how much I lost, I only know that I want to send you abroad."
"I don't grow flowers anymore. I just want to be with you and help you realize any wish. If you want to learn music, I will send you to the best music school in the world, but I don't have enough money, so I have to think of a way. So I told you that I would not open an online store anymore. I would set up a night market stall on the roadside at night to earn more money. You saw that my legs were inconvenient, so you insisted on helping me after school. You worked until midnight every day and refused to go to bed. You had to help me close the stall and help me back to the basement before you left."
Lin Dan spread out the photos while speaking, "You asked me at that time: Boss, why do you like taking photos so much? I just smiled and didn't answer. Now I can tell you why, because you are my daughter. If one day you leave, what else will I have except these photos?"
The cameraman took a close-up shot. In the enlarged photo, the skinny Lin Dan hugged the young and tender Bai Zhilan and smiled brightly. She was completely different then than she is now, but she didn't hide it at all.
The audience was stunned, and Bai Zhilan was also stunned.
