Those who didn't make an appointment were being polite, but those who immediately resorted to international insults could make a person depressed within minutes.
Most interestingly, Xia Yiran also posted a Weibo at this critical juncture—
"I have never suffered, because my heart is full of love."
Since her debut from the talent show, she had accumulated a small following of fans, coupled with her identity as the true daughter of the Xia family, and the contrast with Xia Weiliang, an eighteen-line celebrity constantly mired in scandals. Her quiet and non-confrontational nature had, for a time, won her a lot of public goodwill.
The comment section was filled with expressions of sympathy.
[So sorry for our Ran~ So beautiful, so kind, even after knowing her true origins, she doesn't fight or snatch.]
[Compared to a certain Liang, Xia Yiran is truly too good! I'm a fan now!]
[Listen, 'never suffered'... The more nonchalantly someone can say such a carefree thing, the more they've endured hardships in life! Just for this composure, I'm in love!]
[Uh... To state it upfront, I'm not a fan of anyone. But choosing to post a Weibo at the very time Xia Weiliang has once again messed up... it has a bit of a green tea vibe~]
[Heh, are you a professional contrarian upstairs? When can you post on Weibo only after looking at Empress Xia's expression? Are people not even allowed to speak?!]
Xia Weiliang's fingers slowly slid across the screen, reading each comment.
"Wei Wei Jie, maybe you shouldn't read them..." Nuomi said with some regret, fearing that Wei Wei Jie would once again have a fragile heart shattered and do something irrational, which would lead Huan Jie to settle scores with her.
"I'm fine."
She said it calmly.
Compared to the cyberbullying she had experienced in her previous life, this was still quite mild.
However, she also understood a truth once more: without solid works, relying solely on beauty would lead to similar incidents. Those who hated her would continue to hate her; everything she said and did would be wrong.
[Xia Liangliang, get out of the entertainment industry!!]
[Crowdfunding! Ban her!]
[Empress Xia, be careful when you walk alone at night~ Doing too many bad things will lead to retribution.]
[Scram! Stay away from my Rui! As far as possible.]
The comments grew increasingly unfriendly, making Nuomi tremble with fear.
Xia Weiliang remained composed. She handed her phone to Nuomi and suddenly said, "Tell Huan Jie that I want to hire another assistant, and I'll pay for it."
Upon hearing this, Nuomi immediately looked at her aggrievedly, "Wei Wei Jie, don't you love me anymore?"
Xia Weiliang chuckled, raised her hand, and pinched the little girl's soft, chubby cheek. "Our little Nuomi's position is irreplaceable! It's just that, as you've seen these comments, although they aren't outright malicious, we still need to guard against obsessed fans."
If they threw rotten eggs at her or took unflattering photos, it would be a nightmare for a female celebrity, enough to be blacklisted for two to three years! From now on, if an ugly photo appeared, she'd know that anti-fans were lurking ahead.
Alas, it wasn't as if she hadn't been pelted before.
Nuomi was also worried and immediately asked, "Then shall we hire a bodyguard directly!"
"No need. I'll hire a classmate, the one you met last time. When she's serious, she can handle three people alone."
"..."
Nuomi really wanted to know, what about when she wasn't serious?
Since she was paying herself, she only needed to report it to the company. She then immediately called Song Yuan.
"Miss Sister, I need urgent help!"
The voice on the other end was still her signature clear and cool tone: "I don't save those who court death."
Judging by her tone, she had probably seen the news online too. Xia Weiliang immediately put on a pitiful act towards the phone, "You don't know how terrifying those fans can be when they go crazy! Sending dead cockroaches, dead rats, or even ordering two sets of funeral clothes for you to change into are considered cute. I'm just afraid of those who suddenly cause rear-end collisions or follow you 24/7, asking about your entire family. It's truly maddening~"
"...Get to the point."
"Wuwuwu~ I need Sister you to protect me closely~"
Nuomi shivered beside her.
She was beginning to understand why the dramas Wei Wei Jie took before had all flopped so badly. Naive sweet girls indeed couldn't be handled just with good looks.
As expected, the handsome young lady on the other end couldn't take it anymore.
Her voice tightened, "Speak properly, and we can talk."
Xia Weiliang immediately sat up obediently, "Yuan Yuan, come and help me."
There was another period of silence.
She didn't rush, just waited quietly on the phone.
Finally, she spoke, "My hourly rate is very expensive."
"No problem!"
Her clear voice was filled with joy. "Don't worry, I'll pay out of my own pocket. As long as you agree, I'll give you whatever the price!"
Nuomi: "..."
The more she listened, the more something felt off!
Mom, look quickly, another strange pairing has appeared!
After hanging up the phone, Xia Weiliang clenched her small fists, indicating that from now on, she would strive for excellence. She wanted to make money, a lot of money, to support Yuan Yuan!
