After the video was leaked, netizens found photos of the woman in the video on some social networking site. Photos of her posing in coquettish poses, wearing revealing clothes, drinking in a nightclub, and intimate photos with various men were circulated and forwarded crazily online.

For a while, Xia Linan became the target of public criticism.

"Why is this woman so flirty? Is she so high-profile even when selling her body for fame?"

"I'm so angry! I thought the son of the richest man had found a beautiful, rich woman, but he ended up finding an internet celebrity who cheated on him! Give my husband back to me!"

"What's the price per night?"

"Your mother must be regretting giving birth to a daughter like you now!"

“…”

The more people cursed her online, the happier Tao Hongmei felt.

Compared to what she had experienced, Tao Hongmei felt that what Xia Linan was going through now was too light. In the past, because of Xia Linan's incident, she had been ostracized and isolated by the upper-class socialite circle.

So, Tao Hongmei added fuel to the fire and made the situation even more confusing.

"Please step up your efforts and make this a bigger event. Once it's done, I'll double the price."

Tao Hongmei said this into the phone and then hung up.

Money can make the devil work, and it can also drive people to do bad things.

…

On a winter day, a ray of sunshine shone into the bedroom. Ruan Mengmeng woke up from sleep. She felt full of energy, but still felt that it was warmer in bed in the middle of winter.

Ruan Mengmeng stretched and got out of bed to wash.

She walked out of the room and habitually turned on the TV to listen to the morning news, then she went into the kitchen and started preparing breakfast.

Ruan Mengmeng had just put on her apron when she heard a news report on TV: "Yesterday at noon, a video with a rather explicit content went viral online, causing a storm of public opinion online and causing adverse social impacts. To maintain online security, we need everyone to work together to resist online violence."

Ruan Mengmeng subconsciously looked at the TV and was stunned.

Screenshots of public opinion appeared on the TV screen, and she saw Xia Linan's name flash by.

Ruan Mengmeng has been staying at home recently, away from all electronic devices, so she doesn't know that Xia Linan has been in trouble.

Ruan Mengmeng frowned, walked back to the room and turned on her mobile phone. Suddenly, many entertainment news popped up. The headlines all said the same thing: Fu Yiming was cheated on, and Xia Linan cheated on many people.

What's going on?

Ruan Mengmeng clicked on the webpage, quickly scanned the entire text, and had a general understanding of the whole thing.

Ruan Mengmeng obviously didn't believe what was said on the Internet, and she also didn't believe that Xia Linan was that kind of person. She found the original video, clicked on it, and frowned. The content was obscene, but she still stared at the woman in the video carefully and found something wrong.

The expression of the woman in the video is unnatural and looks a little stiff.

Ruan Mengmeng turned off the video in annoyance, took off her apron with one hand, and dialed the phone with the other.

Early in the morning, a cell phone alarm rang in the quiet bedroom.

Xia Lin'an frowned and shrank aside.

Fu Yiming frowned, opened his eyes and saw a furry head burrowing into his chest. He half stood up, walked over Xia Linan's body, and took the mobile phone from the bedside table.

After he saw the contact on the phone screen, he gently pushed Xia Linan's shoulder and said in a hoarse voice: "Anan, your phone number."

Xia Lin'an didn't respond and was sleeping soundly.

"An'an?"

Fu Yiming shouted again.

Xia Linan moved his body and moved closer to Fu Yiming, obviously unwilling to answer the phone.

The phone kept ringing, Fu Yiming had no choice but to answer it: "Hello?"

When Ruan Mengmeng heard a man's voice, she was stunned for a moment. She looked at her cell phone and it was indeed Xia Linan's call. She looked at the time again and it was indeed morning.

She thought she might have disturbed two people.

After being stunned for a moment, Ruan Mengmeng came back to her senses, "Where's An An?"

"Still sleeping." Fu Yiming glanced at the woman who had buried her head in the quilt.

"Do you have something to do with her?"

"Um, no... I just want to ask something." Ruan Mengmeng pursed her lips and said, "It's about the news..."

Fu Yiming raised his eyebrows slightly and was about to speak when suddenly a hand stretched out from under the quilt and waved randomly in the air. Fu Yiming put the phone in the palm of that hand and got up from the bed.

Xia Linan took the phone and instantly shrank back into the quilt.

"Hello? Mengmeng?"

Xia Lin'an's voice was muffled, as if he had just woken up.

After Ruan Mengmeng got through to Xia Lin'an, she started talking: "What's wrong with you? Are you being bullied?"

"You know everything?"

Xia Linan closed her eyes and sounded depressed. Ruan Mengmeng knew that she was the victim, so why were people online still scolding her?

"I don't know what you look like?"

Ruan Mengmeng said to the person on the other end of the phone with a look of disgust. She could see the clue at a glance and had a guess in her mind, but it had not been confirmed yet.

Xia Linan curled his lips and muttered, "I am as beautiful as a fairy."

Fu Yiming finished washing up and walked out of the bathroom. When he heard these words coming from under the quilt, he paused and chuckled.

Xia Linan, who was lying in the quilt, heard the laughter and his cheeks inexplicably became hot.

"Little fairy, how do you plan to fight back against the evildoers?"

Ruan Mengmeng followed up on Xia Linan's question.

Xia Linan said with a bit of pride, "My man will never let go of anyone who has hurt me!" There was a slight sense of pride and arrogance in her tone.

In front of the mirror, Fu Yiming fastened the buttons of his shirt with his long fingers. He paused slightly and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, obviously pleased by these words.

Ruan Mengmeng rolled her eyes speechlessly. This little girl would wag her tail to the sky now that she has a man protecting her.

Xia Linan chatted with Ruan Mengmeng for a while and ended the call. She crawled out from under the quilt, stretched, and her eyes met Fu Yiming who was about to tie his tie.

Fu Yiming saw from the mirror that Xia Linan had gotten up. He turned around, walked to the bedside with his tie on, and leaned slightly towards the woman who was sitting cross-legged in bed, his meaning was self-evident.

Xia Lin'an glanced at Fu Yiming, straightened his upper body, and raised his hand to tie his tie.

This was the first time that Xia Linan tied a tie for a man herself. She tied it stiffly and it was barely acceptable.

Xia Lin'an raised his eyes and glanced at Fu Yiming, observing the reaction on his face.

However, Fu Yiming surprisingly did not show any disdain. He calmly stretched out his big hand to rub Xia Linan's head and said, "Wash up first. I'll wait for you downstairs."

Xia Lin'an blinked her beautiful eyes in confusion.

Fu Yiming explained calmly: "I'll go to work with you."

Because of Xia Linan’s unexpected incident yesterday, the afternoon shoot was delayed, so Fu Yiming probably meant to accompany her to shoot the commercial today?
