Chapter 57: Chapter 57: Hitting the White Lotus Hard (4)
Someone exposed the IP addresses of the harshest and most vicious comments about Ming Yao online.
Netizens are skilled at digging up dirt, and they quickly revealed that all the messages cursing Ming Yao, even those with P-shopped obituary pictures, were from paid trolls.
Most of these trolls came from Brother Bapi, Entertainment Shopkeeper, and other major marketing accounts.
Netizens then further revealed that Brother Bapi and Entertainment Shopkeeper were marketing accounts raised by Starlight Entertainment.
In other words, those who cursed Ming Yao the most weren’t netizens, but her own family members!
Goodness, isn’t this melon too big?
Ming Yao couldn’t be someone the Ming Family picked up, could she?
More importantly, after these trolls crazily cursed Ming Yao, they ran over to praise Ming Wan heavily under her news articles.
This contrast was just too stark!
When the recording first came out, netizens began to sympathize with Ming Yao.
Once the troll incident was exposed, netizens felt even more sympathetic and pitiful towards Ming Yao.
In contrast, Ming Wan came across like a complete White Lotus!
What innocent? What kind-hearted?
If these issues hadn’t been exposed, she would have been climbing up on her sister’s back!
People say the entertainment industry is a big dye vat, but the Ming Family itself seems to be a big dye vat, doesn’t it?
Many netizens who felt sorry for Ming Yao began to attack and verbally abuse Ming Wan!
Ming Wan was immediately cursed to the top of the hot search.
Seeing her reputation plummeting online, the color drained completely from Ming Wan’s face.
Her pearly teeth bit into her lip, tasting the blood.
Originally, today was supposed to be Ming Yao’s doomsday, yet not only did she survive the ordeal, but she also managed to drag her down with her.
Tears swelled in Ming Wan’s eyes and quickly streamed down her face, “Sister, I didn’t arrange for these trolls…”
Ming Wan glanced at Sister Jin, her tear-blurred eyes carrying a hint of warning, “Sister Jin, it was you who arranged this, right?”
Ming Wan had something on Sister Jin, so she made Sister Jin take the fall, and Sister Jin dared not disobey.
Sister Jin was well aware of what kind of person Ming Wan was; when there were no conflicts of interest, Ming Wan would be all heart and soul with her, but once trouble hit, all the blame had to be shouldered by her.
Truthfully, Ming Wan was quite terrifying.
But Sister Jin had no choice; her hands were tied since Ming Wan had something over her, so she had to play the scapegoat.
“Old Madam, I took the initiative on my own accord, it has nothing to do with Wanwan.”
Before Old Madam Ming could say anything, Jiang Biyun spoke, “Sister Jin indeed handled this matter inappropriately, but considering you’re a long-time employee, just don’t make the same mistake next time.”
Hearing Jiang Biyun brush the issue off so lightly, Ming Yao snorted softly.
“Since it was Sister Jin’s doing, shouldn’t she issue a public apology to me online? Mrs. Jiang, don’t you care a lot about the company’s reputation? Sister Jin ‘took the initiative’ and damaged the company’s reputation, causing huge losses, and all you have to say is not to make the same mistake again?”
Ming Yao’s lashes trembled as she choked up and said to Old Madam Ming, “Grandmother, I can endure not being the favored granddaughter, but why can even an agent ride roughshod over me?”
Old Madam Ming took Ming Yao’s hand, her gaze sharp as she looked at Jiang Biyun, “Sister Jin must publicly apologize to Yaoyao online, and after the apology, she should be dismissed! The company doesn’t need such treacherous people!”
Continuing, Old Madam Ming turned to Ming Wan, “As for the cyberbullying against Yaoyao, no matter how much you try to disclaim any involvement, I am not so senile as to be fooled. Everyone is clear on whether or not you did it!”
“Kneel down and make a proper apology to Yaoyao. If she forgives you, then this matter will be put to rest, but if she doesn’t, then don’t you dare call me your grandmother anymore!”
What?
Ming Wan’s eyes widened, she was to kneel and apologize to Ming Yao?
