A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire

Chapter 270: Grow Some Sense!

Early in the morning, Mu Yan called Qin Xi first thing.Qin Xi quickly answered on the other end.

"Qin Xi, are you okay?"

"I’m fine, I drank too much yesterday and seemed to have bothered you."

Mu Yan scolded, "What do you mean by bothering? Just think about our relationship, but..."

She hesitated for a moment, "What’s going on with you and Lu Zhaoming?"

"Oh, he explained to me, they’re just in a working relationship. You know how handsome Brother Lu is, it’s inevitable others might covet him. It’s not the first time this has happened. I misunderstood him."

Mu Yan sensed it wasn’t that simple and reminded, "No matter what, you need to be careful."

"Don’t worry, I know. Let’s talk about you. I don’t think the expulsion was that simple. That girl, Li Shangjia, is just a student. What leverage does she have to make the school expel a brilliant student like you? Beauty? Money?"

Mu Yan pondered, and Qin Xi’s words reminded her of something.

"I understand what you mean, I will investigate this thoroughly."

"Mu Yan, I always thought you were too soft and feared you’d be bullied. Now, I feel you’ve changed a lot, in a good way. No matter who bullies you, fight back. If you can’t, call me, remember, I’m your sister."

Mu Yan smiled at her words, "Thank you, sister."

"Good girl, I’m off to work."

"Alright." Mu Yan hung up the phone.

By this time, Jiang Jingheng was already up. She didn’t stay in bed, got ready, and went downstairs.

In the living room, Song Cheng’an and Jiang Jingheng were chatting on the sofa.

Seeing her come down, Jiang Jingheng stood up and asked, "Hungry?"

Mu Yan shook her head, "Not hungry."

Jiang Jingheng didn’t say anything and walked towards the kitchen.

Mu Yan looked at Song Cheng’an and nodded, "Morning, Brother Song."

"Morning." Song Cheng’an smiled slightly, "Congratulations, you’ve hit the hot search list again."

Mu Yan was taken aback, took out her phone, and opened Weibo.

Sure enough, she and Huamei were trending.

"Mu Yan slams Huamei"

"Huamei’s Wrongful Conviction Case"

"Mu Yan unjustly expelled"

...

The video of her remarks at yesterday’s press conference had also spread across the internet.

The vast majority of netizens were sympathizing with her.

"Mu Yan didn’t cry throughout this video, yet I cried. Anyone falsely accused couldn’t possibly be as strong as her. I feel so sorry for her."

"A trash school ruined a student’s life. Is just an apology enough? No way!"

"Li Shangjia definitely has ties with a Huamei school leader. Otherwise, it’s impossible that just a plagiarism issue could get a brilliant student expelled!"

"That journalist asking Mu Yan to forgive those accomplices must be brain-dead. Mu Yan was right to retort. If your daughter was wronged in this way, would you let it go? Can we stop with the double standards?"

...

Of course, there were also sneers, the most typical being this kind of comment.

"How many years ago was this? So what if the truth is uncovered now? Aren’t you already a star? Is it necessary to make such a scene? After all, it’s your alma mater. No wonder you got expelled."

The netizens immediately got angry and fired back one by one.

"Damn, why is there moral coercion everywhere?"

"Keyboard warriors are terrifying. Mom, save me!"

"So you’re saying if you were raped, you should thank him? Haha, it’s scum like you in society that makes it so grimy."

...

No matter the netizens’ attitudes, Mu Yan knew she had already achieved half of her goal.
