Seeing Jiang Zhi stubbornly refusing to admit the truth, Jiang Miaomiao sneered. "The villagers' words might be suspect, but the injury appraisal from the hospital and the case - filing receipt from the police station two years ago can't be faked, right? Do I need to show these two things in front of the camera for the whole nation to see?
Moreover, the fact that your mother is in prison for child abuse is undeniable. All these can be verified. No matter how much you quibble, you can't change the fact that she's a criminal."
Jiang Zhi didn't dare to say anything more. She knew very well that provoking Jiang Miaomiao at this moment wasn't the best choice.
After all, it wasn't her who had abused Jiang Miaomiao. Should the grudges of the older generation be blamed on her?
There are all kinds of people in this world. She believed that there must be some who could understand her.
The internet has a short memory. As long as this incident didn't completely destroy her, she could still white - wash herself in the future.
[Jiang Zhi clearly looks guilty!]
[I never expected the truth to be like this. Jiang Zhi enjoyed the wealthy life that should have belonged to the real wealthy daughter for eighteen years without a shred of guilt. Instead, she played the pity - card for sympathy.]
[I actually believed her when she said the Jiang family treated her badly on the show. Now it turns out Jiang Zhi is a complete liar!]
[Me too. I was speaking up for Jiang Zhi before, but now I feel like a fool. I'll go and curse her on Weibo every day from now on!]
More and more people were watching the live - stream, and soon this incident made it to the hot - search.
There were also bloggers who made an in - depth video titled "Jiang Zhi's Lies".
More and more netizens paid attention to this matter, and Jiang Zhi became a pariah on the internet. Even the TV drama she was announced to star in was boycotted.
The production team didn't dare to offend the audience, and Jiang Zhi's role was immediately taken over by another actor.
In the entertainment industry now, investors who want to make money won't choose Jiang Zhi, unless there's a fool with too much money to burn who's willing to fund a drama for her.
The director team was in a dilemma at this time.
Jiang Zhi's reputation was in ruins, and the bullet - screen in the live - stream was almost unbearable to watch.
But bad publicity is still publicity. The more people cursed her, the higher the popularity of the program.
After some hesitation, Director Guo decided to take advantage of this negative traffic and let Jiang Zhi continue filming.
Late at night, after the program team arranged the rooms, the guests all returned to their respective rooms.
Gu Beichen lay on the bed with a heavy expression.
As a businessman, he should distance himself from Jiang Zhi as soon as possible in this situation.
However, this didn't fit his persona.
Wouldn't it make him seem like a heartless scoundrel if he distanced himself from his girlfriend as soon as she got into trouble?
If he continued to stay by Jiang Zhi's side, everyone would think he was a loving and good man, right?
The next day.
The guests were arranged to help the villagers plant sweet potatoes today, but Jiang Miaomiao didn't need to go.
Because she caught a cold and had a fever, so she could only go to the clinic in the town to get an intravenous drip.
After coming out of the clinic, Jiang Miaomiao couldn't help but sigh.
Years of malnutrition had led to poor physical fitness. Even though her mother had been helping her adjust her body in the past two years, she still couldn't compare with normal people.
Just as she was about to find a tricycle to go back to the village, a familiar figure suddenly caught her eye.
Jiang Miaomiao stopped in her tracks, turned her head, and a flash of surprise crossed her eyes.
On the shabby street, the man's tall and slender figure was bathed in sunlight. Although only half of his profile was visible, one could vaguely tell that his brows and eyes were as clear and elegant as ever, and his thin, cold lips were slightly curved, revealing a bit of unruliness.
He resembled someone.
Jiang Miaomiao walked over as if possessed and tentatively said, "Fu Sihan?"
Counting the time from her previous life, she hadn't seen him for a long time, but she clearly remembered the wild and arrogant aura around him and his unforgettable face.
Hearing the voice, the man's tall figure swayed.
After a few seconds, he slowly turned around.
Jiang Miaomiao was taken aback.
What? When did he put on sunglasses and a mask?
With such big sunglasses and a mask, who could tell if it was a human or a ghost?
"Are... you Fu Sihan?"
The man shook his head without hesitation.
"Sorry, then I won't disturb you."
Jiang Miaomiao turned and left, feeling a bit depressed inside.
She didn't know why, but something felt off.
That man's superior figure really looked like him.
But then again, how could Fu Sihan be in such a small town?
After the slender figure disappeared, Steward Zhao in the corner walked out, looking puzzled. "Young Master, why didn't you admit who you are?"
The man took off his sunglasses and mask, revealing a breathtaking face. "Why should I? I'm not here to see her."
He had been in a hurry to travel in the morning and didn't have time to choose his clothes carefully or style his hair.
What if she thought he wasn't good - looking and her impression of him got even worse if he showed up in front of her like this?
Steward Zhao looked confused. "Then what are you here for?"
Just after returning to the country, he rushed to this desolate and remote town. Could it be to relax?
Fu Sihan pursed his lips and said seriously, "I'm here on business."
Steward Zhao understood and silently mouthed, "Oh~ I'm here on business."
Was the "business" he mentioned secretly peeking at her at the entrance of the small clinic?
The young master was really persistent.
But -
"Young Master, it seems she doesn't like you."
The smile on Fu Sihan's lips froze instantly, and he gave a cold glance.
Then he pulled up an indifferent arc at the corner of his mouth.
"It doesn't matter."
Didn't she like the aloof type like Gu Beichen?
He could be aloof for her to see.
He was young.
The same age as her.
Gu Beichen was already old.
That was one point in his favor.
He was 189 cm tall.
Gu Beichen was 187 cm tall.
That was a second advantage.
Gu Beichen had been in other relationships.
While he hadn't, which clearly showed he was more self - respecting.
That was a third win.
No matter how one looked at it, he was the winner.
Fu Sihan turned his head to look in the direction where someone had left, his sword - like brows slightly raised.
Jiang Miaomiao, we'll cross paths again.
-
Jiang Miaomiao returned to the village, and the guests were plowing the fields.
Yes, plowing.
To plant sweet potatoes, the land had to be loosened first. The three male guests were trying to attach the plowing tool to the old ox.
Seeing her come back, Fu Xue'er immediately greeted her. "Sister - in - law, you're back. Do you feel better now?"
"Yeah, I feel much better after the drip."
Jiang Miaomiao's eyes fell on Jiang Zhi, who was clearing weeds on the ridge of the field. Her lips were tightly shut, and she had a blank expression.
Seeing this, Fu Xue'er immediately covered the microphone on her chest, then leaned close to her ear. "Jiang Zhi hasn't said a word since last night. She didn't even have breakfast this morning and came to the field with a hoe. Maybe she wants to do more work to change everyone's impression of her?"
Jiang Miaomiao shook her head.
Jiang Zhi wasn't talking because the current situation was unfavorable to her. The more she talked, the more likely she would attract the audience and passers - by to scold her. Instead, staying silent and being an invisible person could divert the audience's attention from her.
She knew very well that Jiang Zhi was just waiting.
Waiting until time passed and the audience forgot about this matter, then she could cause trouble again.
If Jiang Zhi wanted to be an invisible person on the show, she wouldn't let her have her way.
"Zhizhi, the ox's nose - ring is loose. Come and help me." Gu Beichen, who was attaching the plow to the old ox, said.
Jiang Zhi walked over, and Gu Beichen handed her the nose - ring tied with a rope. "The rest of us will control the ox. You put the nose - ring on the ox's nose."
[Original text: Jiang Zhi nodded, gently stroked the cow's head to soothe it, and then quickly hooked the nose - ring onto the ox's nose.]
