Chapter 70. In the end, Jiang Shuyan was so criticized that she quit the internet. She...
Jiang Shuyan was eventually driven to quit the internet by the backlash.
Her attacks on Gao Wen started much earlier, with irrefutable evidence. This time, the cyberbullying is even more intense.
The end result was that Jiang Shuyan's social media accounts were exposed one by one, and she had to delete all of them overnight.
All the strange things that had happened to her over the past six months, including her financial difficulties, have now come to light.
Jiang Shuyan staged her suicide pact again at home, even standing on the rooftop, attempting to evade responsibility.
She called Lin Heng, but his voice was cold: "Your life is in your own hands, not in anyone else's. Your affairs have nothing to do with me anymore."
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Heng had already hung up the phone.
Not to mention the Lin family, even Lin's mother, who had some pity for Jiang Shuyan, was completely heartbroken after this incident and severed all ties with the Jiang family.
As for the Jiang family, many shady dealings have been exposed. Jiang Chuanwen relied on his cousin's connections to contract some projects and make a living. Now, netizens have revealed that the other party is a minor official in the notorious city of A. With such a big online uproar, in order to protect himself, he directly kicked Jiang Chuanwen out of the game.
This is tantamount to a "ban" within the industry.
Jiang Chuanwen was furious. He stormed to Jiang Shuyan's residence, hurled insults at her, and threatened, "Starting tomorrow, get out of here! Go wherever you want, just pretend I don't have a daughter like you!"
Jiang Shuyan hadn't even thought about what to do next when she was taken away by the police.
The matter from last time is not yet settled. Xu Mei has spent a lot of money hiring lawyers and is relentlessly pursuing the issue. Even if it's just a month of detention, Jiang Shuyan will have to pay a price.
Jiang Shuyan was heartbroken and her mind was in a state of confusion at the police station. She kept muttering, "It's not like that... it's not like that. It's gone, everything is gone."
"I messed it up."
......
The matter seemed to have been settled, and Gao Wen resumed her busy class schedule, continuing to stream every day.
She has over five million followers, and her fan base is highly active.
Specifically, Gao Wen's live streams consistently attract over 100,000 viewers, and any yoga outfits she wears are guaranteed to sell out the next day. Numerous advertisers want her to be their spokesperson because she's sure to be a hit.
Hu Hong has become more diligent at Yuhe Yoga Studio.
She used to come once a day, but now she comes two or three times a day. Sometimes when she goes shopping with her old friends, she buys anything delicious or fun and brings it to Gao Wen.
She would bring food to Gao Wen, and everyone at the yoga studio would get some, but she just showed a slight preference for Gao Wen.
Whenever Yuhe Yoga Studio has any new events, Hu Hong will promote them extensively on her WeChat Moments, usually adding a line like: "Please support our Wenwen, Wenwen is the best!"
So much so that even before Fang Han brought Gao Wen home, everyone in the circle knew that Fang Han's girlfriend was named Gao Wen, a popular yoga teacher who was very beautiful.
Hu Hong treats Yuhe Yoga Studio as her own business. She not only attracts customers but also acts like a familiar face when they come. Occasionally, she helps tidy up teaching materials, cleans, and serves tea and water to other members.
When Xu Mei saw this, she couldn't help but say to Zhang Ni, "Do I need to pay Aunt Hu's salary? I feel so bad."
Zhang Ni couldn't stop laughing.
When Gao Wen came out after class, Hu Hong had already left. Zhang Ni gave Gao Wen the bird's nest porridge that Hu Hong had brought and said, "Look how much Aunt Hu cares about you. Now everyone knows you are her future daughter-in-law, and no members ask me about you anymore. There is definitely no one who will want to introduce you to someone."
Gao Wen chuckled as she ate her bird's nest porridge, "That's good, it saves me the trouble."
"It saves you trouble. If you and Engineer Fang don't get married, it will be very difficult to resolve the situation," Zhang Ni said with a smile.
Gao Wen ate the bird's nest in small bites, her eyes thoughtful.
She hasn't even graduated yet; marriage is a distant and unfamiliar concept to her.
Fang Han didn't even need to learn about Hu Hong's actions from relatives and friends; he went home once, and even the parrots in his house started talking to him differently.
The parrot saw Fang Han return, walked in, and said in a shrill voice:
"Wenwen, my daughter-in-law—my good daughter-in-law—"
"I'm going to find Wenwen and support her."
"Good daughter-in-law."
"Support my Wenwen."
......
Fang Han looked at Hu Hong's WeChat Moments post, rubbed his temples, and said to Hu Hong, "Mom, please don't disturb her work."
Hu Hong practically posts a promotional message on her WeChat Moments every day. If Gao Wen didn't have millions of followers, people would think it was a pyramid scheme.
“How did I disturb her work? I even took your Aunt Zhang and Aunt Li to class a couple of days ago. They both enrolled in Wenwen's classes and spent tens of thousands of yuan!” Hu Hong said proudly. “Did you bring her any business? Did you contribute to her career?”
Fang Han: "..."
"You didn't," Hu Hong scoffed. "My support for her was all real, substantial, and financially secure!"
Fang Han remained silent.
“I also bring Wenwen fruit, bird’s nest chicken soup, and weight-loss health drinks every day. She really welcomes me.” Hu Hong said with a smile, “They welcome me very much, and Wenwen welcomes me too. I sent her a message today saying that Mom brought you apple and yam water, and she immediately came down from the second floor, smiled, and was very happy!”
"???" Fang Han was speechless. "Mom?"
"I am her mother!" Hu Hong pushed Fang Han away. "What do you know? Shut up, you idiot!"
As soon as Hu Hong finished speaking, the little parrot immediately chimed in: "Idiot, idiot Fang Han, doesn't have a wife!"
“He has a wife,” Hu Hong squinted, bending down to warn the parrot, “but he’s still a fool!”
"Silly Fang Han," the little parrot shook its head, "he has a wife, he has a wife—"
Fang Han couldn't stop Hu Hong's enthusiasm at all. When he went out, the neighbors would ask him when he was getting married.
He dared not tell Gao Wen this, for fear of scaring her away.
*
The following month.
Gao Wen posted two more self-made Vipassana Flow yoga videos on her video account. The rhythm is still very strong, and the difficulty is greatly reduced compared to her previous videos, making them very suitable for beginners to practice.
New fans exclaimed that Gao Wen truly understands them, and they must start practicing!
The two videos garnered millions of views within two days, and a bunch of copycat videos appeared online.
Just as Gao Wen was at the height of her popularity, there was a follow-up to Jiang Shuyan's incident.
Jiang Shuyan's case had already caused a lot of public impact before, and this time it was revealed that the owner of Fan Ying Museum and her husband extorted as much as 20 million yuan from her. For this alone, the couple will face more than ten years in prison. The companies involved are also under further investigation for violations and tax evasion, and it is estimated that several of them will be imprisoned and face huge fines.
As for Jiang Shuyan, as the mastermind behind the incident, she repeatedly used this matter to defame and spread rumors, with her posts receiving over a million clicks and reposts. This constitutes the crime of provoking trouble, which is no longer just an ordinary case. It seriously endangers social order and national interests. In addition, for her own benefit, she sold substandard cosmetics and various non-compliant products, causing varying degrees of facial damage to multiple victims. As a result, the case was changed from a private prosecution to a public prosecution, and the public security authorities took the initiative to intervene in the investigation.
When Xu Mei first demanded that Jiang Shuyan publicly apologize to Gao Wen, Jiang Shuyan refused, even at the cost of her life. However, as the incident escalated and she faced imprisonment, she feared that refusing to cooperate would result in an even harsher sentence. Her face turned ashen, and she lost the strength to resist.
On the same day that Jiang Shuyan apologized to Gao Wen, another incident quickly became a trending topic.
A blogger with the ID "Yaoyao's Mom is Trying Hard" posted a video tagging Gao Wen, saying that her daughter's heart surgery was very successful and thanking Gao Wen for her donation. She held her daughter's hand and knelt down in front of the camera, saying that Gao Wen had given her child a new life.
Netizens noticed something, quickly commented, and the topic suddenly gained traction.
The video suddenly disappeared.
Many quick-fingered netizens have already saved the video and started forwarding it for discussion. They also left comments on the video account "Yaoyao's Mom is Trying Hard," and some even suspected that Gao Wen was creating a publicity stunt.
In response to this comment, "Yaoyao's mom is trying her best" explained below: "No, she messaged me privately, asking me not to post such videos online, worried that it would affect the child's physical and mental health, and telling us to live our lives well."
"Yaoyao's mom is trying her best" was worried about the negative impact on Gao Wen, so she took screenshots of some of the private messages. Gao Wen also transferred 10,000 yuan to them as nutrition expenses, telling her to take good care of her child.
In her latest video, she posted photos of her daughter Yaoyao recovering well, with the caption: "She is a very good person. I have no way to repay her kindness. I wish her a smooth life."
Netizens dug up the blogger's past videos and discovered that she had a tragic life. She lost her mother at a young age and her father before she reached adulthood. She met a young man from a similarly impoverished family while working in a factory, and they formed a small family. Just when they were starting to have a happy life, her husband passed away unexpectedly.
She gave birth to her daughter alone, and then discovered that her daughter had congenital heart disease and needed huge medical expenses. She did not give up on her daughter, but instead delivered food while saving money for medical expenses. She stumbled and learned to make her own media, doing everything she could to give her daughter a chance to live.
She can be described as a great mother.
The account “Yaoyao’s Mom is Trying Hard” posted a video a few months ago of her crying bitterly on the street. She said in a trembling voice, “Yaoyao is saved. She met a kind person. She is saved.”
At that time, there were only a few comments below congratulating him.
In retrospect, it was Gao Wen who donated the money back then.
The two trending topics were Jiang Shuyan's apology and Gao Wen's donation.
Lin Heng clicked through each one to take a look.
Netizens commented:
During this period, Gao Wen has faced a lot of criticism and slander, but she never intended to use it to her advantage. Her help was genuine; she is truly a very good person.
Even the other party's gratitude was something Gao Wen was afraid of affecting the child; you could say she's a very sensitive and gentle person.
[From casual observer to fan! From casual observer to fan! Order now and start exercising with her!]
[I've been a die-hard fan for ages, shipping her and Fang Han every day. I heard Fang Han is a really gentle person!!! I hate that these two aren't celebrities, ahhhhh—]
......
Looking at these comments, Lin Heng realized that Gao Wen was indeed a warm-hearted person, but unfortunately he hadn't noticed it sooner.
He clicked on Jiang Shuyan's apology video again, listened to it with a frown, and then immediately closed it.

On the eve of the thesis defense.
Gao Wen and Fang Han returned to school, and he held her hand.
When they returned this time, they became the talk of the town, and many younger students whispered among themselves when they saw the two of them.
Gao Wen became so popular online because of the "Yao Yao's mom is working hard" campaign, which boosted her fan base by two million. With other sporadic increases, her total fan base has now surpassed ten million.
Gao Wen herself has no concept of having ten million fans.
Until she discovered that her thesis advisor knew her.
To be precise, I didn't know Gao Wen because she had ten million followers online, but because her thesis advisor happened to be Fang Han's wife.
Gao Wen, holding her thesis, walked upstairs with her supervisor. The supervisor laughed and said, "I've introduced him to a few girls before, but he refused without even asking. Last time, I even wanted to introduce him to my niece, but he said he didn't want to date. His teacher was worried that he wouldn't be able to find a wife and would be a lonely widow for life."
"It seems I haven't met the right person yet."
Gao Wen looked embarrassed, knowing exactly how to respond.
Before she arrived, she was afraid that her supervisor would scold her for not revising her paper properly. But after she arrived, she never expected that the supervisor would talk to her about these things.
“My niece has very high standards. After going around in circles, she only has eyes for Fang Han. She asked me to play matchmaker, and if that didn’t work, to give her her contact information so she could try to make the effort herself. But then—” the mentor laughed out loud, “she saw you online and said she couldn’t compare and didn’t want to humiliate herself.”
"Teacher, what you said makes me blush." Gao Wenzhen blushed, her eyes looking a little unnatural.
"Truth, no need to be modest," the tutor smiled.
Perhaps because of this conversation, Gao Wen felt that her mentor was much kinder to her during the meeting, and was very gentle when pointing out problems.
Gao Wen wasn't afraid of being scolded, which made her a little shy.
After the thesis meeting, Gao Wen went downstairs, where Fang Han was already waiting for her at the door.
Upon seeing Gao Wen's thesis advisor, Fang Han greeted her politely, "Professor's wife."
"Professor Zhao, you were worried for nothing. Didn't you find a great girlfriend?" the professor said with a smile.
Fang Han walked over and took Gao Wen's hand, saying, "Thank you for your trouble, Madam."
"It's alright, it's alright. Compared to the other students, she worked very hard and received the least criticism." After saying that, the tutor said to Gao Wen, "Your paper can be revised again. I think you should try to get it awarded as an excellent paper?"
Gao Wen: "Can I?"
"Of course, but we need to hurry and put in some extra effort. If you have any questions, just come to me."
"Thank you, teacher."
"I have to go now."
...
After the tutor left, Gao Wen looked at Fang Han and asked, "Would this be considered using connections?"
"I don't think so. It should be attributed to your own efforts. Although your teacher's wife is a bit strict, she is also a very good person," Fang Han said.
Gao Wen regretted: "I should have moved you out sooner, then I wouldn't have had to endure so much scolding."
“I’ve only seen her a few times at my advisor’s house, and I don’t even know her name,” Fang Han sighed. “Otherwise, I would know her name.”
He was usually only in charge of conducting experiments, so he had no idea what his supervisor's wife's name was or which college she belonged to.
Fang Han thought that if he knew, he would probably shamelessly ask his mentor to make connections and get his mentor's wife to be more tolerant of Gao Wen.

Late May.
The "AI Yoga Instructor" app was officially launched and received an excellent response. Within just 24 hours, it surpassed 600,000 downloads. This success is attributed to the influence of Gao Wen and the widespread recognition the app has garnered.
With a 4.9-star rating in app store reviews and excellent user feedback, it firmly holds a leading position in the industry.
This is not only good news for Gao Wen, but also great news for Gu Shujie's startup company.
To this end, Gu Shujie also plans to hold a celebration banquet to promote the achievement.
As a specially appointed consultant, Gao Wen naturally received an invitation. Moreover, given her current influence and value, Gu Shujie got a great deal when he signed the contract with her. He was also able to leverage her online influence, which led to the APP's data soaring and showing great promise.
The celebration banquet was arranged on the first floor of a five-star hotel. Zhang Ni, who works in event planning, put a lot of effort into the arrangements.
Zhang Ni was supposed to pick up Gao Wen, but she was told that Fang Han would be going with her.
"Even I don't trust Engineer Fang?" Zhang Ni teased. "I think he's going to stick to your side today, otherwise there are plenty of people at this banquet who would want to strike up a conversation with you."
"It's not that exaggerated," Gao Wen said helplessly.
"Then we'll just have to wait and see."
......
As it turns out, Zhang Ni was right.
From the moment they got off the bus, Fang Han took Gao Wen's hand and led her to his side.
As the person in charge, Fang Han is young but highly skilled in the industry, so he is often approached by people. However, this is not the most important thing for him. He and Gao Wen are inseparable.
Fang Han blocked several rich second-generation heirs and small business owners who came forward to toast Gao Wen.
"Do you drink alcohol?" Gao Wen asked Fang Han with some concern.
Although it was just red wine, she had never seen Fang Han drink it.
As for her, she certainly wouldn't.
"It's alright, I know a little bit," Fang Han said.
Gao Wen obediently stayed by Fang Han's side. She also found these social occasions annoying, unlike Zhang Ni and Gu Shujie, who seemed to handle them with ease, drinking one cup after another.
Fang Han also has his own clients, so he has to drink a little. He usually has a decent alcohol tolerance, but because he was drinking on behalf of Gao Wen, he had to drink twice as much.
Gao Wen was worried about his health, so the two of them left after saying goodbye to Zhang Ni before the banquet ended.
After getting on the bus, Fang Han closed his eyes, sat quietly, and leaned back.
Gao Wen observed him for a moment, then leaned closer and asked softly, "Are you drunk?"
Fang Han didn't speak, but simply shook his head gently.
"No?" Gao Wen looked at his flushed face and couldn't help but reach out and poke his cheek.
Fang Han didn't open his eyes, but reached out and grabbed her fingers, pulling her into his arms.
"You're so hot." Gao Wen lay in his arms, reached out to hug him, and looked up at him, saying, "Fang Han, are you drunk?"
Fang Han shook his head again.
He held her tightly.
Gao Wen continued to lie on Fang Han, listening to his strong heartbeat, and whispered to him, "Don't get drunk, okay? I can't carry you by myself."
".....Um."
The car was parked downstairs in the residential area.
Gao Wen stood up and saw Fang Han, who was still motionless. She became nervous and leaned closer to him, saying, "We're at your house now. You're not drunk, are you?"
Fang Han opened his eyes, his hand still wrapped around Gao Wen's waist.
"I'm getting off the bus." Gao Wen breathed a sigh of relief.
Gao Wen got out of the car, and Fang Han followed her out a beat later.
Seeing that he was walking steadily, she reached out to pull him: "I thought you were drunk."
Fang Han didn't reply. Gao Wen pulled him a few steps and noticed that he was moving his arms and legs in unison. She immediately sensed that something was wrong.
As she entered the elevator, she stared at Fang Han.
Fang Han also looked at Gao Wen, his deep, bright black eyes reflecting her figure. His gaze was gentle, and she looked very obedient.
Gao Wen slowly released Fang Han's hand.
As soon as she let go, Fang Han frowned, reached out and pulled her back, interlocking their fingers, and tried to pull her into his arms.
"Are you drunk?" Gao Wen chuckled helplessly.
Fang Han shook his head.
"You're drunk!" Gao Wen stared at him, then couldn't help but raise her hand and rub his face. "You're drunk."
Fang Han thought for a moment, looked at her fair and delicate face, and slowly nodded: "Okay!"
"What's so good about it?" Gao Wen smiled, did that mean he would agree to whatever she said?
Fang Han: "Mm."
"Silly boy." Gao Wen laughed uncontrollably. There was no one in the elevator, so she hugged him, looked up at his flushed face, and said, "Fang Han, you're really drunk. You're so cute and silly."
The elevator doors opened, and someone came in.
Gao Wen composed herself and stood to the side with Fang Han. He was drunk, so she held his hand tightly and pulled him to her side.
Fang Han obediently followed along.
The two were dressed in formal attire, yet their behavior was quite strange. The old man in the elevator glanced at them several times, making Gao Wen blush.
Fang Han pulled her into his arms, displaying a possessive and protective demeanor.
This action startled Gao Wen; normally, Fang Han would never be so domineering.
As soon as the elevator doors opened, Gao Wen pulled Fang Han out.
The two stood in front of the door, and Gao Wen asked Fang Han, "Where's the key?"
Fang Han also looked at himself.
"The key," Gao Wen said again, and when she realized she couldn't understand him, she went forward and reached for it.
Fang Han stood obediently, resting his chin on Gao Wen's head, his eyes gentle.
When Gao Wen got the key and saw him like this, she wanted to laugh but felt helpless.
Enter through the door and walk from the living room to the bedroom.
As soon as the door closed, Gao Wen looked at Fang Han standing in the doorway and felt extremely troubled.
"Come here." Gao Wen sat on the beanbag chair and beckoned to him.
Fang Han walked over.
"Bend down," Gao Wen said again.
Fang Han bent down.
“You’re drunk, you know that?” Gao Wen reached out and cupped Fang Han’s cheeks. “You need to take a shower now, and then go to sleep.”
Fang Han didn't reply, but kept looking at her with a loving expression.
Gao Wen's heart softened at his gaze. She stood up and said, "I'll get you some clothes. Go take a shower quickly." She pointed to the bathroom as she spoke.
Fang Han took two steps toward the bathroom, then turned back to look at her.
Gao Wen opened the wardrobe. Fang Han's clothes were neatly arranged and clean, just like him.
Her face flushed, she grabbed her pajamas and underwear, and put them on the bathroom shelf. The other person said coldly, "You can shower by yourself, right? I'll go back after you're done showering and going to sleep."
Fang Han took Gao Wen's hand, wanting to be with her.
"Are you shameless?" Gao Wen's face flushed red as she pushed Fang Han into the bathroom, warning him, "Hurry up and take a shower! I'll wait for you outside!"
"Okay." Fang Han nodded obediently.
Gao Wen's ears turned red, and she closed the bathroom door.
During this time, fearing that something might happen to Fang Han, she stood outside for a while, and only felt relieved when she heard the sound of water inside.
He shouldn't be too drunk, right?
I didn't vomit or feel dizzy, but I was a bit dazed and seemed to be a step behind in doing things.
Gao Wen waited outside for a while, and the sound of water stopped, but Fang Han did not come out.
She got up and walked towards the bathroom.
Gao Wen listened intently for a while, but there was still no response. She grew anxious and called out, "Fang Han, Fang—"
Before the last word was finished, the bathroom door opened.
Fang Han was wearing pajamas, water droplets were falling from his hair, his face was slightly flushed, and his eyes were moist as he looked at her.
Gao Wen's heart pounded like a drum. She never thought she had such a lustful side. She stared at Fang Han for a while before saying, "Um, you need to dry your hair, or you'll catch a cold."
Fang Han nodded, but did not act immediately.
Gao Wen sighed, took out a dry towel, pulled Fang Han to sit down, and used the towel to dry his hair.
Fang Han sat obediently, occasionally looking up at her.
“What are you looking at? You’re drunk, you’re acting like a fool,” Gao Wen emphasized, putting the towel aside and ruffling his hair with both hands.
It must be said that Fang Han's hair is very good, smooth and soft.
Gao Wen couldn't resist and rubbed it a couple more times.
This kind of treatment is not something you would normally receive.
Thinking about it, she rubbed Fang Han's hair several more times, turning it into a messy, disheveled hairstyle.
Gao Wen even went too far by taking photos of Fang Han and sending them to him. Just thinking about how he would see them when he woke up the next morning made her laugh.
She smiled, and Fang Han pulled her from behind, making her sit on his lap, his arms encircling her in an intimate gesture.
"I'll blow-dry your hair." Gao Wen leaned forward to plug in the hairdryer.
Fang Han didn't let her go and pulled her hand back.
"Stop fooling around." Gao Wen laughed and broke free.
Fang Han didn't let go; he even leaned in and kissed her lips twice, very gently.
Gao Wen's heart sank. She stayed in Fang Han's arms, holding a hairdryer in her hand, making him look down, her slender fingers running through his hair.
After she finished drying Fang Han's hair, she looked at him, cupped his face in her hands, leaned in, and kissed his thin lips: "Be a good boy."
Fang Han smiled, raising the corners of his eyes, and nodded obediently, "Mm."
