Chapter 12: Chapter 11: Striking Hard Chapter 12: Chapter 11: Striking Hard The hotel’s response to the elevator accident was commendable, not only waiving Jiang Ning’s charges but also upgrading her room from a standard single to a VIP suite.
Jiang Ning luxuriously soaked in the massage bathtub, the ample bathrobe concealing her slender figure. She picked up the hairdryer, ran her delicate fingers through her hair, and as she lifted her head, her collarbone was exquisitely defined, and her neck was fair and elongated.
After drying her hair, Jiang Ning finally had time to check her phone.
As expected, her Feixin, Mengbo, and other major social media platforms were blowing up.
Usually, Jiang Ning’s Feixin was basically just a desktop decoration, never as busy as it was today, with messages 99+.
Upon opening them, Jiang Ning saw that the messages were either from guests who attended the Huo family’s celebration that afternoon, inquiring with a schadenfreude attitude about her grievances with the Huo family Members that led to their public embarrassment.
Or from those who weren’t present but heard from others about Jiang Ning’s heroic deed of kicking the Huo family Members into the water that afternoon, covertly or overtly trying to probe for information.
Without exception, they were all watching for a spectacle.
Many people in Feixin were friends Jiang Ning added after returning to the Huo Family; she actually wasn’t close with them and never had heartfelt exchanges with these people.
There wasn’t much contact when she was with the Huo Family, and even less need to contact them after leaving.
Jiang Ning ignored all and didn’t reply.
However, the latest few messages that came were quite interesting to Jiang Ning, mocking her about whether she had really been kicked out by the Huo Family.
Jiang Ning’s mind slowly raised a question mark.
How long had it been since she left the Huo Family with her luggage and outsiders already knew about it?
It was clear that she had taken the initiative to sever ties with the Huo Family. How did it turn into her being swept out the door?
Jiang Ning’s eyebrows lifted, sensing that the situation was far from simple.
She opened Mengbo.
The unread messages directly hit 999+.
Jiang Ning was no stranger to a full inbox of unread messages.
Huo Miao had harbored an actress’s dream since she was young.
In her sophomore year, under the Huo Family’s scrutiny, she signed with a talent agency.
Over two years, she starred in several dramas and gained a certain level of fame in the entertainment industry.
Once, Huo Miao left a script at home and forgot to bring it to the set. She called Mother Huo to bring it, but at that time, Mother Huo had already made plans with several ladies to go out for cosmetic treatments, so she asked Jiang Ning, who was free at home due to a holiday, to deliver it.
Jiang Ning thought that going to the set to deliver Huo Miao’s script was a trivial matter, so she went.
Dressed casually as usual, she was intending to leave after handing the script to Huo Miao when the director noticed her, and asked if she was interested, as there was a role in the play that suited her well.
Jiang Ning had no interest in the entertainment industry and declined.
This incident, coincidentally, was caught by a visiting reporter and posted online.
Jiang Ning remembered clearly that when the reporter posted the video online, all the comments about her were positive.
The reporter didn’t know her identity, but since Huo Miao called her “sister” in front of everyone, the reporter assumed she was Huo Miao’s family member.
After the video was released, netizens also affectionately called her the beautiful sister.
Perhaps due to the popularity of Huo Miao and the drama crew, this video featuring Jiang Ning went somewhat viral online.
That day, Huo Miao came home crying.
The entire Huo Family was comforting her.
The reason Huo Miao was crying was the video.
After Huo Miao made her debut, her team had always marketed her as the sole daughter of the Huo Family, wealthy and privileged.
The emergence of “sister” Jiang Ning affected her reputation.
When the Huo family members heard about it, they issued a statement that very night, officially confirming that there was no blood relation between Jiang Ning and Huo Miao, and that they were not biological sisters.
The announcement from the Huo Family was truthful in every sentence, but each was biased towards Huo Miao, not allowing outsiders to understand the true meaning behind it.
With Huo Miao’s team fanning the flames, Jiang Ning, who had done nothing, was labeled by netizens as a schemer and fake, eager to step on Huo Miao to gain fame… No matter how Jiang Ning explained, it was useless; every day, Huo Miao’s fans would mock her on her social media.
As short videos were booming in popularity, Jiang Ning had planned to get involved and become a shop-tour host.
But when she started a live stream, she was cursed at by Huo Miao’s fans who rushed in, scolding her ancestors for generations.
The Huo family members clearly knew but never bothered to clear her name.
Even just now, Huo Ziheng mocked her for leeching off Huo Miao’s popularity.
Thinking of this, a fierce light flashed in Jiang Ning’s eyes.
Previously, she had adopted a policy of ignoring Huo Miao’s fans because she lived under the same roof, where you can’t avoid seeing those you don’t want to.
The current Jiang Ning could not tolerate this any longer!
Not even from the netizens!
Jiang Ning opened the comment section she had long neglected and chose to fight back hard.
Love Miao Miao: Ahhh! Jiang Ning, aren’t you disgusting?! Are you pushing Miaomiao into the water on purpose because you’re jealous of the success of the movie she shot?! How can there be someone as disgusting as you in the world! Why don’t you just go die!
Jiang Ning: You’re so nosy, you’d even taste the saltiness of a dung truck passing by your doorstep.
Manman Bujia: Jiang Ning, hurry up and apologize to Miaomiao!!! Every day you’re thinking about riding on Miaomiao’s popularity to get ahead, even starting your damn livestream! Do you really think anyone watches you?
Jiang Ning: Which sewer didn’t close properly, letting you crawl out again?
Love Miaomiao: Do you have any shame, Jiang Ning? You’re just a poor relative living off the Huo Family! Not being grateful to the Huo Family is one thing, but you even fantasize about replacing Huo Miao? Why don’t you take a piss and look at yourself—Huo Miao is the excellent daughter cultivated by the Huo Family with countless efforts and resources. Can a poor relative like you compare to her?
Jiang Ning: It’s been a long time since I’ve heard someone blow hot air so refreshingly pretentious. Keep barking, I’ve had my rabies vaccine, do you think I’d be afraid of you?
19-year-old duck this year: Checking in daily to see if Jiang has kicked the bucket yet.
Jiang Ning: At an age when every girl is like a flower, you managed to grow into a succulent plant.
…
Tonight, Jiang Ning’s social media was very hot.
Because as a budding star in the entertainment industry, the photo of Huo Miao being dragged by Jiang Ning and kicked into the pool this afternoon had been spread online by someone with an agenda before the banquet even ended.
If the Huo family hadn’t spent a lot of money to suppress the trending topics and delete the photos, this incident might have made it to the top three trending searches on social media.
Even so, the fact that Huo Miao had been bullied by Jiang Ning was still known by Huo Miao’s fans and some netizens.
Countless fans cursed Jiang Ning below her social media posts.
Almost immediately after Jiang Ning went online, she was discovered by Huo Miao’s fans.
And then… what did they see?
They thought that it would be the same as before, where Jiang Ning would just lie down and let them mock her, but she actually fought back???
