The Battle of Hot Searches, Trapping Jiang Meng

The online dispute was intense, and indeed, there were some people speaking up for Jiang Nuannuan. However, relying solely on this recorded audio was not persuasive enough.

Jiang Meng was in the middle of shooting a magazine cover when she heard her manager discussing the online buzz. Her heart skipped a beat, and she interrupted the shoot to ask her assistant for her phone.

The manager reassured her, "Don't worry. Public opinion is still on your side. Jiang Nuannuan deliberately manipulated the conversation with that audio. I have already contacted the PR department to release a statement."

Jiang Meng manually scrolled through numerous Weibo comments and then switched to WeChat. She sent a message to Jiang Nuannuan, and the glaring red exclamation mark made her chuckle coldly.

"She actually dared to block me."

"But Xiaomeng," the manager whispered, "are you sure she doesn't have any evidence of your affair?"

Jiang Meng shook her head, resolute. "Of course not. She only secretly recorded that day, but we rarely met at other times."

"That's good."

Jiang Nuannuan wasn't in a hurry to release the second audio clip because, as she expected, no newly debuted star dared to bear the reputation of being a mistress. Jiang Meng's newly established studio quickly issued a statement, which was also synchronized with Jiang Meng's Weibo update.

One played the good cop, the other played the bad cop.

Jiang Meng's Studio: [Today, our studio has noticed the false statements and malicious distortion of facts made by Miss Jiang Nuannuan, which have caused extremely negative consequences. In order to protect Jiang Meng's legitimate rights and interests, our studio has reported the case to the police today.]

Countless supportive comments immediately appeared under the studio's account.

[Finally, the studio is taking action! I support you!]

[I love this positive response. That fake heiress has no shame.]

[Jiang Nuannuan, this hypocrite, who knows how long she will keep pretending. It's time for her to go to jail!]

[…]

Jiang Nuannuan curled her lips, turned around in the spacious and comfortable leather office chair of Gu Tingyan, and looked at Jiang Meng's statement.

Jiang Meng: [I had no intention of using public resources, but I must clarify some dirty accusations. I love my sister very much and cherish the exchange of our lives. I met Mr. Ji in September 2021 at the hospital, where I was urgently taken after a fall from a building. Mr. Ji has been by my side ever since. There was no one else involved between us, nor did we interfere with anyone else. As for my sister Jiang Nuannuan, she did have a beautiful relationship with Mr. Ji, but they had already broken up due to personal reasons before I appeared. There are many things that are difficult to discuss openly, and I want to preserve her dignity. Please refrain from paying too much attention.]

Attached below was a picture of their chat records, where Jiang Nuannuan had blocked her and Jiang Meng had earnestly advised her to turn back. A row of crimson exclamation marks ignited public anger.

[I know, I know. I was at Chaoyang Hospital at that time, and it was Jiang Meng who received me. She pushed Jiang Nuannuan down the stairs, causing her injuries.]

[And during the recent charity banquet on the cruise ship, Jiang Meng almost drowned Xiaomeng! She was also sent to Chaoyang Hospital! How can we trust her words!]

[It seems that Mr. Ji broke up with her because of Jiang Nuannuan's misconduct. Jiang Meng's existence didn't really have much impact on their breaking relationship!]

The few who still wanted to defend Jiang Nuannuan were silenced and dared not speak up anymore.

Seeing that the timing was right, she sent the recording of Ji Yansen cornering her in the janitor's room, offering to support her financially.

"Ding dong."

The doorbell suddenly rang downstairs. Jiang Nuannuan, who was not paying attention to online content, hurriedly ran downstairs to open the door.

The man outside was a stranger, dressed in a neat suit, and he directly handed her a key.

"What's this?" She took the car key with a puzzled expression, four rings, it seemed to be an Audi. "I am Xiao Zhao, the manager of the car dealership. Mr. Gu asked me to deliver a temporary car to Miss Jiang. You can contact me anytime if you need anything." He smiled and handed her his business card.

"Ah, um, thank you." Jiang Nuannuan glanced at the courtyard behind him. The Maybach from last night was long gone, replaced by a brand new coffee-colored Audi parked there.

"How much does this car cost?" She instinctively asked, feeling that its sleek lines indicated it wasn't cheap. "The S5 series sedan, priced at 750,000 yuan." Gu Tingyan actually referred to this as a temporary car for her…

Considering her current savings, she couldn't afford to buy this car. Jiang Nuannuan licked her lips, but from his perspective, it seemed like he wasn't wrong. He probably thought it was an incredibly cheap deal, at least compared to a 100,000 yuan Volkswagen.

After the man left, she quickly ran down the steps, excitedly circling around the Audi, touching and inspecting every part of it.

Having been a workaholic for so long, she was extremely happy to finally own her first car worth hundreds of thousands.

System 66, seeing her nonchalant expression, said, "With the savings you have accumulated in reality, buying this car is affordable."

"That's true, but you also know I'm used to being poor. This kind of car is perfect for me right now." Jiang Nuannuan smiled brightly.

After admiring her new car, she sent a thank-you text message to Gu Tingyan's phone. She happily had lunch, and it was expected that the man didn't reply.

However, she received a WeChat message from Gu Shizhou, who sent her a location for where he would be competing that evening.

Jiang Nuannuan glanced at it but didn't reply.

Few contacts will have a better effect.

After her two consecutive explosive posts on the internet, the hot search topics directly exploded.

Since she hadn't checked for a while, she decided to go and read the comments from netizens, expecting a completely different public opinion.

[Mr. Ji actually admitted himself that he cheated on Jiang Meng! Isn't this a slap on Jiang Meng's face! She just swore she was innocent and in love!]

[Mr. Ji actually wants to financially support Jiang Nuannuan after they get married! This is too explosive! What kind of person he is!]

[Is everything changed now? What about those who were supporting Jiang Meng earlier!? Come and argue with me, your idol cheated on you after three years and had an affair with a scumbag!]

[I suddenly understand why Jiang Nuannuan turned out like this, she was forced into it! She was already a fake rich girl with nothing, and her sister even snatched her man! After three years, during the dating period, he cheated and slept with someone else. I would go crazy too!]

[And the whole family knows and supports it, the true face of the wealthy is truly ugly.]

[The studio even reported it to the police, this is a bombshell, who will they arrest? Definitely Jiang Meng!]

[Damn! Is Jiang Nuannuan intentionally playing with our emotions? Intentionally waiting until now to post the second one, fiercely slapping the faces of those who spoke up for Jiang Meng.]

Jiang Nuannuan felt that these netizens' words were quite accurate. Wasn't she just waiting for them to contradict themselves? She happily looked at her two hot search topics, both of them ranking first. The dog-like couple should be furious by now.
