Pei Yucheng’s birthday celebration was indeed a stressful, nerve-racking occasion…
It was unforgettable, as it had led Lin Yan to bankruptcy.
His present had wiped out half of her savings, and her heart ached so much that she had trouble falling asleep for several nights.
Days later…
Lin Yan was lying on the couch as usual. Her fingers scrolled through her phone as she read the news.
Prosperous, the little kitten, had completely adapted to its new home and was dozing off beside Lin Yan’s legs.
After the competition had officially ended, the comments online had been different. This had happened so quickly that Lin Yan couldn’t quite get used to it.
In the past, there had only been one or two comments out of thousands that were on her side. Sometimes, those comments were posted by her.
Now, the situation had changed. There were at least 100 comments that were on her side.
Lin Shuya had made a Weibo post some time ago and congratulated Grandfather and the He family team on the victory at the competition.
‘I Have Gotten Into Love Debts Due To My Gorgeous Looks’ had typed, ‘Shuya, I’ve watched the live broadcast of the He family team’s competition. Your despicable sister must have colluded with the other teams. How could a lousy team beat a top one?’
‘I’m So Pretty That I Make You Look Like a Ghost’ had replied, ‘Shuya, Shuya! You should come up with a way to drive Lin Yan away from the He family team. It’s likely that they will be recategorized as a top team. Shuya, you have to take over the reins. Lin Yan will definitely get them in trouble! Only Shuya is worthy enough to lead the new He family team!’
‘You Are The Wind And I’m a Fool’ had typed, ‘Damn it! Lady on top, please stop being so shameless! Without Lin Yan, the He family team would have been eliminated long ago! How could they possibly have become a top team otherwise? Can you be more level-headed?’
‘I’m the Toilet Paper in the Toilet’ had commented, ‘So what? Shuya can lead the He family team to greater heights without Lin Yan. It’s just a matter of time. On what basis does Lin Yan have to stay with the He family team? Shuya could beat her hands-down instantly in terms of acting skills, personality, and racing skills.’
‘I Would Rather Dote On a Dog’ had replied, ‘Everyone knows what kind of a person Lin Yan is. Save your breath. She even snatched her sister’s role. Yeva’s role should have gone to Shuya. Lin Yan, do you even deserve it?’
…
Lin Yan was reading the comments with relish. She felt nothing, as she had already become immune to criticism.
She was about to continue reading when her phone rang. It was Pei Yutang.
“Daddy! Something huge happened! Something terrible!”
Pei Yutang’s anxious voice rang from the other end of the line.
Lin Yan frowned at his warning. “What is it? Are you okay? Where are you?”
“I’m at home,” Pei Yutang replied.
Lin Yan was speechless…
“Why did you call me when you’re home? Can’t you come here?” asked Lin Yan helplessly.
“That’s beside the point. Daddy, did you know about Lang Mang’s private account? The one that was lambasted by everyone? They said that that account was fake and he has faced vicious criticism recently!” Pei Yutang cried.
Lin Yan pondered this briefly. She did recall hearing about Lang Mang’s private account.
“Daddy, he can’t be an imposter. He is the real one!” exclaimed Pei Yutang.
“How can you be so sure?” Lin Yan was curious.
Lang Mang’s private account was only known by a handful of his close friends.
“Of course I am!” Pei Yutang answered firmly, “Lang Mang used his official account to attack everyone who criticized and accused him! He even attached a photo of the conversation between him and Yeva!”
