"Two hundred million? Where, where did it come from?" Li Meng's hand holding the card trembled slightly.
"Pocket money, saved up." The original owner had always been frugal and didn't spend much. Although the original owner's family disagreed with her entering the entertainment industry, they were afraid she would suffer and sent her living expenses every month. Over time, a sum of money accumulated in the card.

Lin Yinyin bribed a paid online mob to clear her name and mobilized her lovers to badmouth Qiao Ci. Seeing the flood of criticism against Qiao Ci online, she was extremely pleased.
However, it wasn't long before her male admirers called her to stop. Qiao Ci had powerful backing.
"Bai Xingyan!" Lin Yinyin gritted her teeth.
Onlookers on the internet speculated about the identity of the powerful backer who was forcefully conducting public relations for Qiao Ci. A small account leaked a gossip tidbit about the Bai Corporation's crown prince keeping a certain washed-up movie queen, directly exposing Bai Xingyan to public scrutiny.
【My god, is the cub's identity this awesome?】
【Ahhh, the cub is so handsome and rich, I want to be kept too, I'd even pay to be!】
【I felt during the variety show that the cub's gaze at Qiao Ci was not normal. This is love~~~】
【Boyfriend power is off the charts! Suddenly I don't want to curse Qiao Ci anymore, I'm just envious. All I feel now is envy.】
【Raise the flag for Bai Qiao CP, DM me to join the group.】
Lin Yinyin nestled in Gong Han's arms, scrolling through the posts she had made on her alternate account. There were very few curses against Qiao Ci; most were actually shipping CP!
She almost laughed with anger. No matter what, a woman being kept should be met with widespread criticism.
Were these fans poisoned?
Lin Yinyin switched accounts and typed in the comments section, "No wonder Qiao Ci was so fawning over Bai Xingyan in the variety show. I declare her a high-level cougar!" However, her comment was quickly buried by others. Angered, she directly deleted the post.
Considering her current popularity was less than Qiao Ci's, Lin Yinyin decided to announce her relationship with Gong Han and release some sweet content to regain attention.
On Weibo, Lin Yinyin V: "Along the way, thank you for your companionship, thank you for your favoritism. Fortunately, I have you, towards the future @Gong Han."
Gong Han V: "Along the way, thank you for your companionship, thank you for your trust. Fortunately, I have you, towards the future @Lin Yinyin."
The internet was instantly in an uproar. Had their shipped CP become a reality?
Fans sent their blessings one after another.
Some instigators went to Qiao Ci's account to advise her to control herself in the future and not to be a mistress. Some fans directly cursed her as a mistress.
Li Meng, busy setting up a new studio, put down her work and transformed into a fighter, working through the night. She used her alternate accounts to refute all those who cursed Qiao Ci.
Seeing Lin Yinyin causing trouble again, Qiao Ci connected her phone to the computer and rapidly typed on the keyboard, her code dazzling Xiao Shaozi.
"Host, what are you doing?"
"It's time to fight back," Qiao Ci said without looking up.
This was Qiao Ci's first online statement since she was involved in a love triangle and suffered defeat.
Qiao Ci Is Not a Foodie V: "A man who doesn't love himself is like rotten vegetables."
Attached were nine pictures, and she publicly tagged Gong Han.
Immediately after, many netizens posted simultaneously, claiming to have seen passionate scenes between a popular young actress and a film emperor on a certain website, with screenshots. Only the private parts were lightly pixilated, making it clear who it was.
The screenshots also included the video recording times, with several passionate scenes before February 6th, and the latest time stamp showing a few days ago.
It was known that in early March, movie star Qiao Ci had accused young actress Lin Yinyin of being a mistress who interfered in relationships. Then, film emperor Gong Han had jumped out to confess his love for Lin Yinyin.
Could it be that Qiao Ci was telling the truth, that she and Gong Han were indeed a couple, and Lin Yinyin was the mistress?
Many people, unwilling to see their favorite couple collapse, desperately searched Qiao Ci's posted pictures for any signs of Photoshop. However, professional appraisers confirmed the chat records were real.
Looking at the dates, Qiao Ci and Gong Han had been dating for a long time. Gong Han's words were full of affection for Qiao Ci. In a turn of events, Qiao Ci discovered him in bed with another woman. When she questioned him, Gong Han directly deleted her as a friend.
Not only that, but chat logs between Lin Yinyin and Gong Han were also leaked online. Lin Yinyin often sent Gong Han seductive selfies and explicit love messages. The dates indicated this was before Gong Han deleted Qiao Ci.
This time, it was useless for fans to try and whitewash them, as the evidence was conclusive.
Film emperor Gong Han was exposed as being truly skilled at acting!
He had dumped his ex-girlfriend and then slandered her. Truly remarkable.
Lin Yinyin, the pure maiden, directly transformed into a lustful woman.
"What's going on? How did my video and chat logs with Gong Han get leaked? A.S., A.S., quickly find a way to clear these unfavorable things!" Lin Yinyin was extremely panicked. How would her fans see her in the future? She still wanted to be a movie queen and step onto the international stage. What should she do now?
"The opponent's technology is very strong, I can't break through it at all," the movie queen system's voice was extremely cold. "Go online and issue a statement to unilaterally break up with Gong Han, saying that you are also a victim and didn't know Gong Han had a girlfriend before."
"Then what about Gong Han? Aren't you going to conquer him? Don't you need to absorb his luck..." Lin Yinyin was lost and helpless.
"Idiot, do I still need to teach you? Don't you understand covert operations? Save your own career first!" The movie queen system was somewhat exasperated.
After a discussion with the pitiful Gong Han, Lin Yinyin issued a breakup notice.
However, the comments under her account did not show any sympathy for her; they were all curses.
【Deceiving our fans' feelings, Lin Yinyin, you have disappointed us so much.】
【You called each other brother and sister before, were you sleeping in the same bed? Unfollowing!】
【Your figure is so good, only for Gong Han to see. What a waste of the money I spent supporting you. The fan club is disbanded!】
【Heh, this is a case of people abandoning the ship when it's sinking. Seeing Gong Han is in trouble, you immediately broke up.】
【Gong Han: You heartless woman, was all that sleeping together in vain?】
Gong Han's acting career was over. He announced his withdrawal from the entertainment industry. Anyway, without the star aura, he was still a rich second generation in real life and could instantly inherit his family business and become a domineering CEO.
Lin Yinyin's maiden persona also completely collapsed. She was now blacklisted by the entire internet. People simply didn't buy her pale and powerless explanations. People liked beautiful women and followed trends, but they weren't fools.
Of course, a small minority still liked Lin Yinyin, pure face-worshippers whose moral compass followed their eyes.
Qiao Ci, the biggest beneficiary of this reversal, announced her formal termination of contract with Yun Jian Entertainment and established her own Star Sea Studio.
Li Meng began to market Qiao Ci's persona, using seven or eight alternate accounts to gradually release details of Qiao Ci's consistent involvement in public welfare in large groups, earning Qiao Ci a significant amount of popularity.
Then, she used her main account to announce that the 10 million yuan Qiao Ci received from the variety show would be entirely donated to build primary schools in impoverished areas, and that she would continue to engage in public welfare in the future.
Some people didn't believe that Qiao Ci had donated hundreds of millions to public welfare in just a few years. They went to the villages provided by the online addresses for interviews, and the results confirmed it was all true.
