Chapter 90: You Truly Deserve to Die...

Shi Heng stared at Jiang Sui before him.

He had originally thought she was just an up-and-coming nobody from the lowest tier of fame, the kind who was easy to deal with and short on experience.

He had not expected her to be so fierce when faced with this sort of problem.

Still, it had to be said that if there was a better way to handle this kind of scandal, it would certainly be preferable to simply suppressing it with public relations.

Jiang Sui was not wrong about that. Even if the story were buried, the stain would still exist.

And it would remain there, unshaken. As time went on, people would no longer even remember what the truth had been.

But if one chose to respond, not every response would win people over, and not every response would avoid being torn apart.

"I know what you're worried about. Just do what you need to do," Jiang Sui said with a faint smile, her gaze shifting to Lu Xuanxuan.

By now, the comments online were already filled with people trying to dig up the identities of Xuanxuan's parents.

They were also hurling abuse at Xuanxuan's birth parents, accusing them of handing their child over to Jiang Sui in order to chase attention and money.

Using every means available to turn a child into a tool for profit.

It was fortunate she did not let Xuanxuan play with a phone. Xuanxuan was still so young now; otherwise...

She did not believe any of this was happening without the White Xiuxue team's stirring behind the scenes.

On the surface, they were attacking Xuanxuan's parents. In reality, they were diverting the floodwaters, pouring filth onto her instead.

Over on Ji Sichen's side, it was obvious he had already begun moving to suppress her.

But after she called the police and blew the matter wide open, he would not dare use such tactics again for the moment.

So naturally, he and White Xiuxue's team would turn their hands toward the entertainment industry.

They meant to make her disappear from it in disgrace.

They had even set their sights on Xuanxuan...

Ji Sichen, White Xiuxue.

You are truly hateful.

Because of the online uproar, the little three-person group chat with Jiang Sui also exploded that day.

Though for the most part, it was just Xu Manman's solo performance.

She wanted to know exactly what had happened, and she wanted to be at the front line of the gossip.

Xu Manman: "Maybe the person who posted this is actually a fan of someone's burner account. As for whose fan I mean, I won't say~~"

Li Lan did remind Jiang Sui of a couple of things:

"You should be careful. For this to blow up so suddenly, someone must be stirring things up behind the scenes. Especially tomorrow's interview—watch out for traps from the host."

Jiang Sui took their concern for her as the huddling together of the cannon-fodder characters persecuted by White Xiuxue in the original script.

So, in the original story, it had really just been White Xiuxue waging a war of female rivalry all by herself.

She replied in the group with an emoji.

[No panic, not a big deal.]

The two of them promptly sent back the same emoji.

[Received.]

[Received.]

The next day, at the filming site of "An Invitation with Yu Lu."

Because livestreaming had become so popular and because of the profits traffic could bring, the program's recording had also opened a live broadcast channel.

In other words, during the recording, besides the live audience on site, viewers online could also enter the livestream room and watch the recording as it happened.

And after the livestream recording ended, the footage would be edited and polished before being aired on television and major video sites.

Since Jiang Sui, Lu Xuanxuan, White Xiuxue, and Ji Chuan had all recently been in the middle of a surge in popularity and were tied to this interview program, the livestream room was already packed from the very beginning.

Before the broadcast even started, the barrage of comments was already full of condemnation and abuse directed at Jiang Sui, along with attacks on Lu Xuanxuan's birth parents.

When Jiang Sui, leading Lu Xuanxuan, walked out of the dressing room and prepared to go on stage, she happened to run headlong into White Xiuxue, who was bringing Ji Chuan with her.
