Jiang Ling opened her Weibo account. Seven of the top ten trending topics were related to her.
Among them, the topic #Jiang Ling Get Out of the Entertainment Industry# had topped the list and remained there with no signs of fading.
Beneath the hashtag were countless reposts and top comments:
[Jiang Ling, this trash, when will she get out of the entertainment industry? She's so disgusting.]
[Exactly, exactly! I get annoyed every time I see her now. Her acting is terrible, her attitude is not serious, and on top of that, she's a coward who abandoned Young Master Shen!]
[When it comes to beauty and kindness, it has to be An Qiuyan. Look at her, risking her life to block a knife for Young Master Shen. This is what a qualified girlfriend should do.]
[President Shen and An Qiuyan are still lying in the hospital, and you, the legitimate girlfriend, aren't going to check on them. How dare you act high and mighty and throw a tantrum?]
[An Qiuyan, an angel fallen to earth!]
[Trash Jiang Ling, get out of the entertainment industry!]
Jiang Ling scrolled through the comments. Apart from praises for An Qiuyan's beauty and kindness, the rest were curses directed at her. She couldn't help but roll her eyes multiple times.
“Look at An Qiuyan, the media is practically praising her to the heavens, calling her the destined one, a darling angel?”
“And look at you. First, you were a coward who ran away, and then you demanded the production crew change the script for you. Is there something wrong with your brain? Don't you know how many fans the original novel has? One spittle from each of them could drown you!”
“It was clearly a movie about three people, yet you had no name. Why wasn't it you who took the blow for Young Master Shen? If I were Young Master Shen, I wouldn't choose you either!”
A woman dressed in a professional suit, wearing a shocking pink lipstick, unloaded on Jiang Ling like a machine gun, her expression a mixture of anxiety and disappointment, as if she wished Jiang Ling were better.
Jiang Ling: "..."
This woman, brimming with resentment, was Jiang Ling's agent. She was also a distant cousin of her mother's maternal uncle's third cousin's wife, named 'Tu Sasha', known in the industry as 'Sister Sa'.
Sister Sa had been managing Jiang Ling since before she even debuted.
“Why aren't you speaking? Are you mute?”
Jiang Ling: "..."
“Why wasn't it you who took the knife? Why wasn’t it you? Oh my god, why is my life so difficult? I finally managed to make a star popular, and now she’s about to crash and burn so quickly?”
Sister Sa paced around the room like a cat on a hot tin, wailing mournfully.
Jiang Ling retorted, “Why should I block the knife for him?”
“Why?”
Sister Sa glared at her, furious. “Are you stupid? Young Master Shen is the heir of the Shen family, a super conglomerate with assets worth hundreds of billions.”
“If you had taken that blow for him, not only would the position of the Shen family's young mistress be within your grasp, but the entire Shen family would also recognize your true love for Young Master Shen, and they wouldn't disdain your background anymore.”
“At that point, wouldn't you have everything you desired? Now, that opportunity has been snatched away by that little bitch An Qiuyan. You've lost Young Master Shen's favor, so what will you do from now on?”
“Fortunately, the Shen family has been dominant in the business world for many years and has offended many people. If there’s another opportunity like this next time, remember to pounce on it immediately, understand?”
Jiang Ling said calmly, “Okay, next time there’s an opportunity, I'll definitely push Shen Mingjue out to block the knife.”
“That’s right, push Shen Mingjue out…”
Sister Sa’s eyes widened. “You actually want to push Young Master Shen out? Oh my god, was your brain kissed by a pig when you were a child? Even Pan Jinlian, who murdered her husband, would have to bow to you as her master.”
Jiang Ling: "..."
