Online opinion overwhelmingly criticized Liu Yuxi.
Some observant netizens even dug up some shocking information, discovering that she climbed to the top by stepping on other girl group members at the beginning of her debut, making her a typical scheming and manipulative woman.
Liu Yuxi's fairy-like image collapsed overnight.
Despite her management company's decisive action to stop the online attacks and control public opinion, they couldn't stop the overwhelming insults and a constant stream of mudslinging at her.
She brought all of this upon herself.
Jiang Hexi turned off her phone, blocked out the online criticism, and found some peace and quiet in her room, where she had a good night's sleep.
The next day, she woke up, packed her bags, went downstairs, and waited for her brother to send a car to pick her up.
As she descended the stairs, she saw Yan Jie sitting leisurely on the sofa, adopting a commanding posture, waiting for her.
She instinctively grabbed her luggage and headed upstairs to hide.
"Get down," Yan Jie snapped at her emotionlessly.
Jiang Hexi obediently took his luggage downstairs and sat on the sofa furthest away from him.
"Why are you the only one here? Where are the others?"
"They're gone."
Where are Director Chen and the production crew?
"They're all gone."
Yan Jie looked at her calmly and said, "You slept until the sun was high in the sky. You really slept soundly last night."
Jiang Hexi muttered softly, "Everyone else has left, why are you still lingering here?"
In the eerie silence, Yan Jie held back his anger.
He condensed all his resentment into one sentence and forcefully demanded of her:
"complex."
Jiang Hexi saw the chilling aura emanating from him and was afraid that if she said the wrong thing, she would be completely devoured by his dark and malevolent resentment.
When she went public with their relationship, she did indeed make him look foolish, and feeling guilty, she tried to appease him by saying:
"Honey, I want to get back together with you, but the reality doesn't allow it."
Yan Jie, emboldened by the word "husband," coolly lifted her eyelids and said:
"Then let's continue our secret relationship."
"But we went public with our relationship last night, how can we keep it a secret now?"
He raised the last syllable dangerously, "You mean—"
"Honey, just bear with it."
She sincerely comforted him, saying, "Once you get through this period of filming the farming reality show, everything will be alright."
How could Yan Jie possibly become a "Ninja Turtle"?
Putting aside whether this is an insult to him, just looking at the current revenue of farming variety shows, it's possible that they might not even break even by next year. How long is he going to endure this?
"I'll drive you home and we can have a good heart-to-heart talk."
"elder brother--!"
Jiang Hexi jumped up from the sofa as if she had seen a savior, grabbed her luggage and walked out of the stone house. "Big brother, why did you come to pick me up in person?"
Jiang Wenze took her luggage, his gaze passing over her and landing on Yan Jie:
"I came here specifically to pick you up so that you wouldn't be bothered by someone who would keep pestering you."
“Brother, Yan Jie isn’t that kind of person. We’re both focused on our farming business now, and we won’t get stuck in our past relationship.”
As soon as Jiang Hexi finished speaking, Yan Jie stepped forward and greeted her:
"Big brother—"
The brother and sister's expressions immediately fell.
Jiang Wenze handed the luggage to the driver and shouted to Jiang Hexi, "Get in the car. Don't get off without my permission."
Jiang Hexi had no choice but to slink away from the scene with the driver.
Jiang Wenze didn't have time to waste words with him and went straight to the point:
“Yan Jie, my sister has already made herself clear on the show. Please don’t bother her while she’s farming anymore.”
“That’s not what she told me before she went on the show.”
Yan Jie looked at Jiang Hexi sitting in the car from a distance and said:
“There are still many things between us that we haven’t figured out. Once I understand her feelings, I won’t bother her anymore.”
"Ignore it. I'm cutting off your relationship with you both."
Yan Jie watched the luxury cars in the courtyard disappear into the dust, showing no sign of discouragement.
He had already planned ahead. It didn't matter if his two older brothers couldn't handle it; he still had one last shortcut he could take.
The plane arrived safely in Shenzhen and Hong Kong.
Jiang Hexi got into the extended Lincoln, and on the way home, she sat anxiously, unable to sit still.
"Brother, what was Mom's reaction after she found out I'm dating?"
What do you think?
She had no illusions about Ms. Zhou's violent temper and placed her hopes solely on the help extended by her brothers.
"Big brother, you only have me as your little sister. If I get beaten to death, no one will call you brother anymore."
This time, Jiang Wenze didn't indulge her.
I warned her before that if a sheep enters the wolf's mouth, it will be devoured without leaving a trace, but she still eagerly went to get close to him.
Now that she's caused trouble, we can't let her not suffer a little.
"Don't worry, Mom will be careful with her strength. I won't kill you, but it's good that you're paralyzed, so you won't keep running outside."
Jiang Hexi looked at him with slight surprise. Even her brother thought so. This time, she was definitely going to be dead.
The two returned to the villa.
As soon as she entered the room, she saw a feather duster on the coffee table. She went around to the living room and saw Ms. Zhou sitting lifelessly on the sofa. She immediately rolled up her trouser legs, revealing two burn marks, and frantically tried to gain sympathy.
"Mom, where's the burn ointment you prepared for me? I need to use it; this wound is really itchy."
Ms. Zhou picked up a feather duster and smacked her ankle twice.
"It's one thing that you didn't tell me about such a big thing as dating, but on the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, you even went to the boy's house to meet his elders. It's a wonder that your maternal grandfather knew about this, while I was the only one kept in the dark. Don't you even respect me as your mother?!"
After being hit, Jiang Hexi immediately jumped up and stood behind Jiang Wenze.
"Mom, it's not what you think. Let me explain."
I won't listen to your excuses anymore!
Ms. Zhou took a feather duster and went behind the brother and sister, then slapped Jiang Hexi's calves twice.
As the battle intensified, the father and his two sons all spoke up for Jiang Hexi.
"Mom, don't use your hands, just talk it out. Calm down, it's not worth getting sick from getting angry."
"Your sister's leg injury hasn't healed yet. It's not too late to hit her after she's fully recovered."
"Wife, Ah Xi knows she was wrong. Let's sit down and talk things over."
Ms. Zhou was determined to teach Jiang Hexi a lesson this time.
Anyone who blocked her way would be whipped with a feather duster. Eventually, the father and his two sons all shut up and automatically moved aside.
Jiang Hexi, having nowhere to escape, was whipped more than a dozen times. Ms. Zhou threw away the feather duster and said to her:
"You better think carefully about how you're going to explain this to me tomorrow. If you dare to lie to me again, you'll be moving out of this house tomorrow and standing in the back corridor as punishment!"
Jiang Hexi limped towards the door, her departing figure looking utterly miserable.
Ms. Zhou simply hit her multiple times, without actually using much force, and angrily cursed at her retreating figure:
"Hurry up, or I'll get annoyed just looking at you."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Hexi strode out to the backyard.
