Chapter 1976: Returning Kindness with Enmity

Chu Yao didn’t ask where they were going; it didn’t matter. She had already called Mo Tingshen to prepare a public relations plan.

Soon, he called back, said a few sweet words to Chu Yao, and then handed the phone to Nan Jiaojiao.

The man’s deep, sexy voice was unhurried, “Jiaojiao, tell your brother what kind of PR effect you want to achieve. It’s no problem to completely clear your name, but without any evidence, it’s more complicated. Do you have any evidence you can provide to your brother?”

Nan Jiaojiao called out crisply, “Brother Mo.” When asking for a favor, her demeanor was quite proper, “Yes, I’ll send it to you.”

Mo Tingshen chuckled, “Good, calm your nerves. With Xiao Yao accompanying you, you have plenty of support, don’t be afraid. I’ll cook dinner tonight, come downstairs to eat.”

“Alright.”

Nan Jiaojiao handed the phone back, thinking the couple still had more to say, but Chu Yao hung up directly.

The online situation was getting more and more out of hand. With more and more “evidence” surfacing, Nan Jiaojiao had become a national villain.

Song Yuan’s company was also alerted. After a brief meeting, the higher-ups decided not to miss out on this wave of massive attention. After all, since Song Yuan debuted, only a few secondary roles gained traction, none of her leading roles were hits, merely breaking even at best. This was making her the most famous she had ever been.

So they quickly sent someone over to persuade Song Yuan for a long time. She was initially unwilling, but later, unable to resist, finally agreed to do a live stream, albeit reluctantly, asking them not to push too hard.

This video was uploaded online with a hidden camera angle. In two minutes, likes exceeded three million, all praising Song Yuan’s beauty and kind heart—despite everything, she was still pleading for the villain, making people heartbroken and angry, supporting her to go live.

Some high-spending fans were already waiting on her official live streaming account. Once the stream started, expensive gifts flooded in, making it almost impossible to see Song Yuan’s face clearly.

Lying in the hospital bed, she was dazed for a while and then foolishly asked her manager, “Sister Lai, what are they doing?”

“They’re gifting you things, Yuan Yuan, you have a lot of fans. Everyone feels sorry for you being wronged, saving someone’s life only to be repaid with malice. I couldn’t stand it; I wanted to visit you a couple of days ago but was blocked from entering the hospital. Even your parents couldn’t come in; she’s with a leg injury, stuck in the hospital, at the mercy of others…”

“Sister Lai!”

Song Yuan softly scolded, looking flustered. She quickly glanced at her phone and quietly asked the company-assigned PR behind the camera, “Delete what Sister Lai just said, don’t let those words get out; it would cause misunderstandings. Should we record again?”

The PR’s voice was clear and close to the phone: “Yuan Yuan, this is a live stream, not a recording. Once live, not even a second can be edited.”

“Ah… how did this happen.”

She carefully tugged at Sister Lai’s sleeve, “Could you please watch what you say later, okay?”

Though the words were phrased as a request, her gaze was clearly demanding that Sister Lai follow her lead.

Sister Lai was hesitant but had no choice but to comply.

This scene, with all its details, was seen by fans watching the live stream. The screen filled with comments so quickly it was impossible to read them all. A quick glance showed they were almost all expressing sympathy for Song Yuan and cursing Nan Jiaojiao. The timing was perfect.
