Chapter 108: Targeted by Online Abuse

Page 1 of 3

Nan Yan had also been thrilled by it just now. The little clips cut together online were sweet beyond words, and the real people were right there beside her. For some reason, she felt that Song Wanning and Wen Jingxing made a rather delightful pair too.

Even someone actually taking part in the show thought they were good together, let alone the fans following the program online.

Yun Ze, however, looked at Nan Yan’s excited little face with an air of deep grievance. Yet he still did not dare say it aloud. “Do you really need to envy other people? If you want it, couldn’t I give you that too...”

“Hm? What are you saying? Louder.”

Yun Ze did not dare let Nan Yan discover such thoughts of his, and hurriedly said, “Nothing. The plane’s about to take off. Sit steady.”

Ji An'an walked at the very end, silently staring at the four people ahead of her, a vicious light shining in her eyes.

As a celebrity, she naturally cared more than anyone about what happened online.

When she went online and discovered that Song Wanning, despite having no official account and no studio managing her presence, had tens of thousands of followers paying attention to her in a tiny fan circle devoted to Song Wanning, Ji An'an would never admit that those were truly Song Wanning’s fans.

Either they were bot accounts hired by Song Wanning with money.

Or they were simply there for Wen Jingxing, and there could not possibly be many who genuinely liked Song Wanning.

When she checked her own Weibo, she found she had only a little over one hundred thousand followers.

And recently, it seemed as if fewer and fewer people liked her; her phone kept showing that people were unfollowing her across major platforms.

Especially after she saw the statistics sent by Sister Yu, her mood was utterly miserable.

She had joined the show in the hope of attracting more fans, yet it had turned into the opposite.

Not only had she lost one hundred thousand followers in just half a month, but in the comments section everyone was teasing and mocking her, deliberately or unconsciously.

There was even a forum on the largest search site where people had created a thread to call her a whore.

If Jin Jianyi had not been right beside her, Ji An'an would already have created a dummy account and cursed back at all those blind, mentally disturbed people!

Her agent, Sister Yu, had already contacted her a moment ago, repeatedly reminding her to keep her head down for a while, not to cause any more trouble, and to wait until the online storm had passed before doing anything else.

Ji An'an had originally wanted to talk back.

But Sister Yu then said that the matter of terminating her contract was already being handled, and told her to be good. Once she arrived in the capital city, Sister Yu would go find her and discuss it face to face. It was never easy to break away and work independently, so she had better stop making trouble. If anything happened, there would be no one to cover for her.

Hearing the faint threat in Sister Yu’s words, Ji An'an no longer dared say anything, and quietly answered with a yes.

So this journey was the quietest and most restrained time Ji An'an had ever had.

Even when the flight attendant came again to serve refreshments and then asked Song Wanning for a photo, Ji An'an kept her head down in silence the entire time.

Until...

The flight attendant had taken a photo with Song Wanning, then with Nan Yan as well, saying she would go online and brag to everyone about it. When she passed by Ji An'an, she did not even pause for a moment before returning to work.

Ji An'an clenched her skirt tightly, forcing herself not to let any emotion show on her face.

But Jin Jianyi, that idiot, even tried to comfort her at a time like this. “It’s fine, An'an. Maybe she’s just a fan of Song Wanning and Nan Yan.”

Ji An'an very much wanted to say: if you can’t speak, then just don’t, all right? You’re only here to add to my irritation.

On the plane, Song Wanning saw that her phone suddenly fell quiet, and she too closed her eyes with some fatigue.

She had not slept enough yesterday.

At first she had only intended to doze for a little while, but in the end she had fallen into a deep sleep.

When she woke again, it was Wen Jingxing who roused her. “Wanning, stop sleeping. We’re almost there. Sit up for a bit and wake yourself up.”

She opened her eyes in a daze and realized that a thick white blanket had been draped over her. She glanced at the person beside her, Wen Jingxing.

As if they shared the same thought, Wen Jingxing replied, “I saw you fall asleep, so I asked the flight attendant for it.”

Song Wanning had just woken up, and her mind was still a little cloudy. She only said, “Thank you.”

Then she picked up her phone and glanced at the time, discovering that only half an hour had passed.

Looking out the window, she saw bright sunshine outside. White clouds drifted past from time to time, and below were high-rises of every color and shape.

As expected of the capital city, even seen only in daylight, it felt grand and magnificent.

To Song Wanning, everything new was fresh and worthy of exploration. Leaning against the window, she looked outside and casually took a photo with her phone.

More than ten minutes later, the plane landed smoothly at the capital city airport.

Song Wanning, Nan Yan, and the others got off the plane empty-handed; only Ji An'an and Jin Jian were carrying luggage, one in each hand, in bulky packages and bags.

Even though all six of them wore masks, they still drew many glances from passersby.

Li Weiwei had already arranged a private passage for them, and they left the airport directly.

On the way, the six of them rode together in a business van.

Song Wanning had already decided to stay with Wen Jingxing, and after Jin Jianyi’s suggestion, Ji An'an had also decided to stay at his place.

Yun Ze then asked Nan Yan whether she had made up her mind where she would stay.

Nan Yan paused for a long time before saying, “I think I’ll stay at my own home. Is that okay?”

Yun Ze suddenly lifted his lowered head and said, “Of course it’s okay. I respect your choice.”

“Is that so...”

Looking at the other’s seemingly disappointed expression, Nan Yan felt a little uneasy herself.

It was clearly a decision already made, clearly the result she herself wanted. So why... did she feel so hurt inside?

They had originally planned to go first to Jin Jianyi’s place, since his home was the nearest. But Ji An'an said she wanted to visit the other guests’ homes too, and there was no need to rush back.

Li Weiwei, seated in the front passenger seat, turned to look at Ji An'an but did not answer right away.

And Song Wanning understood perfectly well what Ji An'an was thinking. Wasn’t she just using the pretense of visiting all the guests’ homes to see what Wen Jingxing’s place looked like?

Li Weiwei turned back toward the front again and said to the driver, “Go to Wen Jingxing’s place first. Everyone lives in different parts of the capital anyway. If we spend a day going around, the whole day will be gone.”

She knew exactly what the audience loved to watch. Rather than only being able to choose one guest’s home, it was better to go see what everyone had been looking forward to.

And it also suited Ji An'an’s wishes perfectly.

So the group went first to Wen Jingxing’s home.

What a pity that Jiang Mingzhao had come by car and was still outside the capital’s borders. After seeing the message in the group chat, he immediately rushed into the smaller chat with only four people and insisted that they absolutely had to visit Wen Jingxing’s home!

What kind of place was Wen Jingxing’s home?

It was the Splendid Scenic Gardens!

A garden estate!

Even now, no one knew just how large Wen Jingxing’s property really was.

Only that it was on a mountain, covered a vast area, and included a very large and imposing villa.

But no one had ever seen actual photos of it.
