Chapter 190: Wishing You a Happy Birthday
"Damn it!" Wen Yan couldn't help cursing a phrase. "It's definitely Fu Yiqing playing tricks; others couldn't possibly be that familiar with Qin Yulong. This time I can no longer continue to remain silent. I want to fight back!"
Jiang Wanwan nodded: "Then how do you plan to do it? Issue a lawyer's letter?"
"Issue a fart!" Exceptionally angered, all kinds of words popped out of Wen Yan's mouth, "I'm going directly to report it to the police. This is no longer smearing; these people spreading such rumors about me are committing a crime. I'll ask for two hours of leave in a moment and go report it to the police."
"That's good too, hand it directly over to the police to handle—many people jump around happily online, but if the police really come knocking at their door, there's a high probability they'll wimp out in a second."
"Right! But reporting to the police is still too slow—they still have to follow procedure; this time I have to investigate it myself."
"Then you can let your family help."
"Mhm, just now my mom and eldest brother already contacted me."
Wen Yan rapidly requested leave from the director, and then simply had He Xing use her account to start a live stream.
The content of the live stream was reporting it to the police.
Once this mind-blowing title was put out, within a few minutes of going live, the number of viewers in her live stream room broke one million.
Those who entered earliest were her fans, but the vast majority were onlookers eating popcorn.
‘Ahhhh Yanyan you've finally appeared! Previously when that coming out hot search happened you didn't respond at all, so lots of people unfollowed, but I've been here all along, and luckily I waited for you!’
‘Yanyan keep it up! We all know these are fake and someone is intentionally smearing you—we support you reporting it to the police!’
‘Sister is so tough, beat those evil-hearted ones to death!’
‘Wuu wuu sister, you don't know how you were blackmailed by other people these past few days, and how we face fans were suppressed and mocked by others again. This time you must fiercely slap their faces, okay? We will love you forever, sister!’
‘Sisters in front don't cry, what are you afraid of them for, hahaha, I didn't sleep all night and refuted three anti-fans to the ground all by myself. Tsk, fighting with me, looking to get abused?’
‘Me too, me too—so angry, didn't sleep for a night just battling them online; their mouths are too foul.’
Because it was a live stream, Wen Yan could see all these real-time interactions.
Previously she hadn't realized that when she chose not to respond, the fans who liked her actually suffered so much anger because of her.
Regarding this, Wen Yan was very touched.
She simply spoke a few words from her heart to the fans in front of the camera.
"Thank you for your defense. I thought that if I chose cold treatment, those baseless matters would pass, but obviously I overestimated certain people's moral bottom lines. Sorry for making you all suffer because of me.
"Although what I say next might sound a bit childish, I still have to speak—from here on out, please rest assured, I will fight on properly!"
Having finished speaking, Wen Yan bowed deeply to the fans in the live stream room.
"Thank you for your unconditional support and liking. Please don't get angry with unrelated people because of me anymore—from here on, leave it all to me!"
‘Wuu wuu wuu sister is so domineering, will pay attention to sister all along!’
‘Yanyan keep it up and charge!’
Wen Yan didn't interact much more with the fans either, because the public security bureau was right ahead and she could no longer film.
After coming out from the public security bureau, Wen Yan immediately published a photo of the police report receipt on her social feed, warning certain people to know when to stop.
Right after, she edited a segment of text and chose to pin it to the top.
‘Yulong and I are friends, not the couple relationship rumored on the internet. Among all the videos related to Yulong and me currently circulating on the network, only the one where she dove into the water to save me is real, while all others are fake. Regarding the dirt on her circulating on the internet, I don't believe it's real, but I believe someone definitely wants to intentionally smear and fabricate rumors about her. Please, those of you who are rational, do not believe rumors nor spread rumors, and please also ask certain people to immediately stop damaging Yulong's and my reputation. The network is not a place outside the law, otherwise what awaits you will be custom-made silver handcuffs—hope you respect yourselves!’
Accompanying image: a pair of silver handcuffs with a blurred serial number.
Netizens originally came with an onlooker mindset, but after seeing this image, they all exited laughing.
‘Hahaha, satisfied and leaving. These silver handcuffs are really so hilarious—which serious celebrity posts this? Suddenly discovered this sister is a bit goofy, hahaha, roaring with laughter.’
‘Me too! She's so fun, turned from passerby to fan!’
‘Erm, a bit embarrassed to say, but turned from anti to fan—feel like Sister Yan's handcuffs poked my humor. I apologize for the bad things I said about Sister Yan before; don't know if it's still in time now?’
‘Realizing one's mistake and returning to the right path is a great virtue—joining the Yan fan army now isn't late!’
‘Then count me in too!’
‘So am I the only one who turned from fan to passerby? I just like watching pretty sisters fall in love. Previously I thought they really were a couple, and their looks were both so high—you don't know how happy I was back then. Result? Just this, merely friends—West Lake's water, my tears, unfollowing, unfollowing.’
This status update could be said to be Wen Yan's declaration of war against Fu Yiqing.
After Fu Shen was sent to the station by Shen Jingxiu for the crime of commercial espionage, Master Fu was extremely disappointed in this illegitimate son who boasted of outstanding ability.
Along with that, he grew to dislike Fu Yiqing as well—originally Fu Yiqing intentionally causing trouble on the production set to seek presence had already made Master Fu unhappy.
Now... it could only be said that Fu Yiqing's already bad situation had added hail to snow.
Coupled with even her manager having 'betrayed' her, today's Fu Yiqing had already gone mad.
Qin Yulong wouldn't pick up her phone calls, nor respond to those news items smearing her online, so she vented all her anger onto Wen Yan's body.
Wen Yan declared war on her, so she accepted the battle.
Even knowing that Wen Yan had already reported to the police, she still had no intention of stopping, instead intensifying her actions.
Because currently she had already been shelved by her management company, the Fu family didn't want to acknowledge her identity either, and Qin Yulong had torn up her contract with her—she already had nothing left to care about.
And as soon as she made a move, the Shen family side grasped the evidence.
However, since Wen Yan had already reported to the police, the Shen family did not handle it privately.
Wen Yan wasn't idle either.
These past two days, she was practically the most explosive big melon maker in the entertainment industry.
Watching the continuously popping up alternate accounts continuing to blacken herself and Qin Yulong, Wen Yan simply opened a real-name warning online.
She posted directly calling out and @ing Fu Yiqing.
‘I have already grasped the evidence and handed it over to the police; I'd like to see just how many more alternate accounts and water navy spammers you can buy.’
Once Fu Yiqing was @ed out, netizens scrambled online asking for gossip.
And as for gossip, as long as the heat was there, it could be dug out upon digging.
Very quickly, Fu Yiqing's actions and conduct on the production set were all written into short essay exposures.
Fu Yiqing was not to be outdone either, directly releasing a photo of Qin Yulong entering Wen Yan's room in the early morning.
Wen Yan's fans immediately pulled out magnifying glasses to look at this photo, attempting to find traces of Photoshop.
Yet just as the fans were busy in full swing, Wen Yan herself took the lead in reposting Fu Yiqing's status update.
Repost: @Fu Yiqing. Everyone, please look at the pictures—it's all inside the pictures, tee-hee.
Everyone clicked open the pictures.
They discovered that the first picture Wen Yan attached directly used Fu Yiqing's picture of Qin Yulong entering her room in the middle of the night.
However, Wen Yan wrote a few words on the picture.
Secretly filmed—shameful!
It's real—friends chatting.
While Wen Yan's second picture was the huge four words: "None of your business."
Netizens came excitedly once again, and left satisfied laughing "hahaha."
However, this big battle hadn't ended yet, because the police hadn't collected all the evidence and taken action against Fu Yiqing yet.
Therefore Fu Yiqing chose to strike from another angle.
The first movie Wen Yan filmed upon entering the industry, Silent Voice, was about to be released very soon.
Fu Yiqing simply aimed her spearhead at this movie, hiring a large batch of internet water navy to belittle and report this movie that had only released a short promotional clip of several dozen seconds.
As a result, this movie's investor Shen Jinghe, director Zhou Junye, and the publishing party immediately posted statements supporting Wen Yan.
Their swift response directly slapped Fu Yiqing's face with loud smacks.
After that, Fu Yiqing had no further voice.
Netizens who suffered from insomnia at night and couldn't sleep, staring at her account 24 hours a day, discovered that she hadn't logged into her social account again either.
Netizens who spoofed Photoshopped pictures immediately Photoshopped an image of Fu Yiqing being put into silver handcuffs by police uncles.
This matter had also finally drawn to a close.
Seeing this farce settle down, Wen Yan also finally let out a sigh of relief.
"My goodness," she couldn't help sharing her feelings at this moment with Jiang Wanwan beside her, "This is my first time arguing with someone online under the condition of being watched by tens of thousands of people—satisfying!"
Jiang Wanwan chuckled softly: "Is it merely tens of thousands of people? I see it's tens of millions of people. The server was almost paralyzed by you two."
"Yeah," the director also said, "As far as I know, the gossip of several big celebrities was held back and not released, just afraid of being overshadowed by your matter. But that kid Zhou Junye got lucky—that Silent Voice of yours is about to be released soon. He specifically called me just now to help ask for leave on your behalf."
"Oh right," Wen Yan patted her head, "Director, if you didn't mention it I almost forgot—I still have to participate in movie roadshows, and indeed need to ask for a few days of leave. I'll turn around, check the time with that side, and come find you again."
Silent Voice had a great response at its premiere! Box office broke one hundred million on the same day!
When preparing to film this movie, Wen Yan was still a nobody, with only a Shen Jinghe and several veteran actor performers able to hold up this film.
Yet at the time of release, Wen Yan had obviously become the mainstay strength of this movie.
A considerable portion of the audience only learned about this movie because they ate her gossip—she had genuinely and fiercely boosted this movie's popularity.
As for Wen Yan, relying on her sincere and outstanding acting skills in this movie, she also broke into the vision of many audience members and quite a few big directors.
Another considerable portion of audiences who knew her because of Jungle Diary also only just discovered that the acting skills of that little girl they liked were surprisingly so good.
When watching the movie, when she smiled you wanted to smile along with her, and when she cried you wanted to cry with her even more.
After finishing smiling and crying, you discovered that in the corners of society there was still such a group as deaf-mute people—they were being ignored, being discriminated against, and being treated unfairly!
Turned out in society there was also such a group of righteous and hot-blooded young lawyers, disregarding their own life safety, exhausting what they could, using all they had learned in their lives, fighting for justice, kindness, morality, and the legal system!
After being released for merely three days, this movie Silent Voice obtained a rating as high as 9.5 points across the entire network!
Director Zhou Junye wished he could bring Wen Yan along wherever he went for roadshows.
However, Wen Yan still had Palace Wall Lock to shoot, and couldn't keep asking for leave to delay the production crew's filming progress.
Today, which was December 24th, was the last roadshow Wen Yan planned to participate in.
This roadshow was an afternoon session; knowing this was Wen Yan's last roadshow, the fans were reluctant to leave for a long time.
When the host urged the crowd to leave the venue, the audience present began singing the Happy Birthday song in unison.
Hearing this neat and unified singing, Wen Yan only then remembered today was her birthday.
Both her birthday and the original body's birthday fell on this day.
Once the birthday song finished, staff at the venue very quickly pushed out a cake specially customized for Wen Yan.
On the cake was a little sugar figurine, made according to Wen Yan's image.
Wen Yan was originally an emotional person, and this unexpected yet surprising blessing directly drove her to tears.
Seeing her cry, the host immediately handed over a tissue.
"It can be seen that Wen Yan is really very touched; just now Wen Yan also said a lot of words thanking the fans. So up to here, our activity is truly coming to an end. However, just now an audience member entrusted me to ask you a question—is that okay?"
While carefully wiping her eyes, Wen Yan nodded: "It's okay, please ask."
"The fans feel very distressed for you—they just want to ask if you still have work arrangements tonight, and whether you will rest properly?"
Wen Yan shook her head: "In the evening there are no work arrangements anymore. Actually, previously my mom called me to ask me to go home for dinner tonight, but at that time I hadn't reacted to the fact that today is my birthday, because with too many recent matters, I forgot out of busyness.
Now thinking about it, it should be my mom calling me home to celebrate my birthday. My brother actually dropped hints to me today as well, but I didn't react to it either."
"Oh? Turned out you still have a brother."
"Yes, haha, accidentally let it slip."
"Then your brother must love you very dearly too."
"Yes."
"Then on behalf of the audience, let me ask Teacher Shen Jinghe a question. Teacher Shen, may I ask what plans you have after the roadshow ends?"
"What a coincidence," Shen Jinghe picked up the microphone and said with a smile, "I'm also going home to accompany my family to celebrate a birthday."
However, neither the host nor the audience present linked Wen Yan and Shen Jinghe together.
Everyone merely marvelled one after another at what a coincidence this was.
Only Wen Yan and Shen Jinghe silently exchanged a glance with each other.
When the event ended, the two lined up one after the other to leave the venue.
Shen Jinghe used his body to shield Wen Yan, speaking to her in a low voice.
"Are you going directly back in a moment? Do you want to take my car?"
"You're going straight back? But I can't yet—I still have one small work arrangement. At that time I'll go back myself."
"Alright then, we'll wait for you at home first."
When Wen Yan returned to the Shen family villa, the sky was almost dark.
Except for the third child of the family, Shen Jingcheng, everyone had already arrived.
