Becoming Popular Through The “All Villains” Variety Show

Do You Still Hate Her? 04 – Shang Lu is the daughter-in-law recognized by our Jiang family.

[What’s going on? Aren’t both of these companies owned by Jiang’s?]

[Let me explain. Although Jiang has multiple businesses, currently only the jewelry and media sectors are under Jiang Yi’s direct management. So, these two official Weibo accounts can be considered Jiang Yi’s ‘beloved children.’ And now they’re all standing up for Shang Lu.]

[But didn’t Shang Lu announce the cancellation of the engagement? Even if they were once engaged, what’s going on now?]

[@ Ning Lin’s fans, @ LinJiang CP fans, come on, continue washing.]

[!!!]

[Everyone, quickly go and check the hot search! A reporter interviewed Jiang Yi’s mother! She responded to this matter directly!]

In the video.

A gentle middle-aged woman stood in front of a luxury store. She wasn’t skilled at handling such situations and instinctively avoided the cameras. However, she reminded herself that these reporters were all arranged by her husband, and she had to handle this matter well in order to help her son and husband’s careers.

So, she made an effort to show a gentle smile to the reporters and spoke rehearsed lines, “As elders, we are not entirely clear about the recent conflicts between the children. But this engagement has been planned for over ten years, and Lulu and Xiao Yi have always had a good relationship. We really like Lulu, she will always be the only daughter-in-law recognized by our Jiang family.”

The recent drama has made netizens jump up and down like startled rabbits, experiencing wave after wave of plot twists.

[Shocking! The Jiang family, from the company’s official account to the mother-in-law, all came forward to acknowledge Shang Lu’s identity.]

[I watched too much gossips that I’m dumbfounded. I bet those who accused Shang Lu of lying must have swollen faces now.]

[Now the question arises, is Ning Lin an innocent victim, or was she aware of the situation?]

#Shang_Lu_Jiang_Yi_Engaged_Couple# quickly became the number one hot search and sparked countless discussions.

[Since the engagement is real, Shang Lu’s identity must be extraordinary. Who is she exactly?]

[I know, I know! I was suffocated but I can finally say it! My suggestion to everyone who wants to save time is to directly search for last year’s rich list in the capital. Right behind the Chi family is the Shang family.]

[Damn… Is that the Shang family I’m thinking of? Could it be that Shang Lu is the true top-tier heiress?]

[Even though we all call Lin Yanyan the princess, compared to the Lin family, Shang Lu is the real princess. I hope you all understand.]

[It doesn’t matter which family Shang Lu belongs to. The key point is that everything confirms that Shang Lu and Jiang Yi are engaged.]

[This world has become magical, hasn’t it? The legitimate fiancée has been accused of being a third party for years. I just want to ask, won’t the LinJiang CP fans come out and apologize?]

[In a way, they are quite pitiful, aren’t they? These fans are so deeply invested in the relationship of a scumbag man and a despicable woman.]

At this moment, in the LinJiang CP fans group.

Naturally, everyone couldn’t accept the fact that Shang Lu turned out to be Jiang Yi’s actual fiancée, and chaos ensued.

Some people couldn’t understand and raised the point that if Shang Lu and Jiang Yi are truly engaged, then their fandom is either fake or immoral.

Of course, the fan who brought up this point was immediately kicked out of the group.

The fan club quickly made a statement in the group.

@Linjiang_Support_Group : [Everyone, don’t be influenced by those online brainwashing tactics. It’s the 21st century, and we’ve had marital freedom for so many years. Commercial marriages are like feudal remnants, just like shackles. We can all see that Ning Lin and Jiang Yi genuinely love each other. But at the same time, we finally understand why they haven’t admitted their relationship until now. It’s their way of respecting Shang Lu. Today, the official account of Jiang’s companies and Jiang Yi’s mother have stepped forward. It’s obvious that the family wants to pressure him into compromise. It’s truly saddening, but also deeply moving. The person we love is still trying to pursue love in such a situation. We should believe in them and support them, accompany them through this most difficult path. I believe that true love can break these shackles.]

The fan club has set a good tone with this wave, shifting the focus from whether Ning Lin is considered a third party in Jiang Yi and Shang Lu’s relationship to praising the beauty of a CEO and a Cinderella pursuing true love under the constraints of aristocratic marriages in today’s society.

CP fans also find it reasonable and regard this statement as a “famous quote,” continuing to defend Ning Lin and Jiang Yi on Weibo.

[Being engaged doesn’t have any legal effect, and Jiang Yi hasn’t acknowledged it either. It’s obvious that their families are pressuring them.]

[Sob… I feel so heartbroken. For the first time, I realize that having money can also be a mistake. The waters of the aristocracy run deep.]

[President Jiang and Linlin must persevere. It has nothing to do with family background or status. When I see them, I believe in love again.]

[It’s like a drama coming to life. Isn’t Shang Lu the perfect example of a malicious supporting female character? She’s using her status as the fiancée approved by the family to break up a loving couple.]

The Linjiang CP fans are even more moved by the love story of Jiang Yi and Ning Lin, who are willing to cross social class boundaries and love each other, even if they are not recognized by their families, as if they were the modern-day Prince Charming and Cinderella.

However, as a well-known fan in the LinJiang CP fandom, Sweetie Donut has remained silent about this matter.

Sitting by the window, the young girl looks at the chaotic battles on Weibo. Numerous young fans mention and private message her, wanting her to express her stance firmly like other prominent fans in the fandom.

Just then, another well-known fan of LinJiang CP, who is also Sweetie Donut’s best friend in the fandom, sends a message.

Several messages express their disdain for the ridiculousness of the commercial marriage and their admiration for the true love between Jiang Yi and Ning Lin. In the end, they make plans for Sweetie Donut and others to go together to the recording of a variety show in the evening to support Ning Lin. Many LinJiang CP fans have already spontaneously organized themselves to unite and encourage Ning Lin in this difficult time.

However, as Sweetie Donut reads these messages, she remains silent for a long, long time, unsure of how to respond.

She also wants to be like these people and tell herself that there is nothing wrong with liking the couple she shipped, that they are still worthy of her affection.

But there is another voice in her heart that keeps telling her—

It seems… it’s not that simple.

She empathizes with Shang Lu’s perspective, even though the engagement between Shang Lu and Jiang Yi may be a commercial arrangement, it is still an undeniable and real relationship.

Jiang Yi can also choose not to accept it, and she is also very supportive of opposing the family to pursue true love. But why, after so many years, can’t they explain it to everyone?

Even if it’s inconvenient to admit the engagement, even if it’s just a sentence saying that it has nothing to do with Shang Lu, it could spare Shang Lu from enduring a lot of cyber violence.

Although she doesn’t like to curse or attack Shang Lu directly, she has secretly resented Shang Lu for many years.

Jiang Yi and Ning Lin are innocent, but now thinking about it, Shang Lu hasn’t really done anything wrong.

Why is it that even after Shang Lu has suffered for so long and the truth is exposed, she still have to endure new insults?

It’s as if the truth doesn’t matter, as long as they want, they can find new reasons to criticize Shang Lu. Regardless of the circumstances, it’s always Shang Lu’s fault. But is this really fair?

Sweetie Donut couldn’t help but think of the last time she met Shang Lu and the words he said to her.

“Don’t worry, your CP is real.”

She met Shang Lu as a black fan, but Shang Lu didn’t show any disgust towards her even for a second. Shang Lu praised her beauty at first glance and said those words that made her happy for a long time.

But now, when she recalls those words, how much unspoken grievance is hidden behind Shang Lu’s calm statement?

Sweetie Donut feels a bit lost.

In her mind, two little people seem to be arguing. One tells her that everyone is right, and she doesn’t need to think too much. As a fan, she should continue to stand by Jiang Yi and Ning Lin, trusting the people she likes.

But the other little person somehow stands behind Shang Lu.

Sweetie Donut can’t make a decision for a moment, so she can only find a reason to decline her friend’s invitation to support Ning Lin.

[I can’t make it this time. I’ve been busy lately.]
