Chapter 201: Chapter 201: The Edited Video
Ning Yichu didn’t want to miss out on her child’s growth, and since there wasn’t anything important at work next Monday, she happily agreed.
After playing with the kids for a while, she returned to her bedroom.
Ning Yichu picked up her phone, intending to check the time.
Unexpectedly, the news of the last “Jade Carving Heritage Competition” had once again stirred up trouble.
Since some time had passed since the competition, Ning Yichu curiously clicked on the link.
She saw Deelia retweet a marketer’s video on Weibo, sarcastically saying, “Special Prize, really worth 60 million? I’ll just laugh and say nothing!”
The video was from the day of the competition.
However, it wasn’t the whole picture, but rather an edited series of jumps…
The first scene started with Ning Yichu holding the worst raw material and going straight to the machine.
Next, she was shown as the first to finish her work, becoming the first person to leave the competition venue.
Then, it moved on to the auction!
Ning Yichu’s starting bid was 800,000, and following muting, it appeared that no one bid at all…
After that, only Li Lingyang and Mo Baiyou were seen calling out bids, eventually securing the piece for 60 million, making it the special prize of the competition.
Deelia often shared her daily life on Weibo as a renowned designer in Europe, with a huge fan base…
As Ning Yichu had been quite popular recently, this video went viral once it was shared, quickly climbing up to the trending searches.
Within minutes, it went from ‘hot’ to ‘explosive’!
Countless Internet users flooded the comments section, vigorously joining the discussion.
“How come only Li Lingyang and Mo Baiyou were bidding on Ning Yichu’s work, which was at least a Special Prize, at the scene?”
“Psh, isn’t the answer obvious? Ning Yichu prioritized speed, and with a rough work, no one wanted to bid. Only two fools, Li Lingyang and Mo Baiyou, stepped up. We don’t need to say more about what’s going on here, do we?”
“Hey, don’t talk nonsense. I think Ning Yichu’s work is pretty good…”
“Heh, Li Lingyang and Mo Baiyou are so powerful, it wouldn’t be hard for them to switch hers with someone else’s work, right?”
“I can’t help but agree, I’ve got a screenshot just leaked by a buddy on the forum, you’ll understand once you see it.”
Then, that ID posted several pictures in the comments section.
There were screenshots of Ning Yichu and Li Lingyang embracing and holding hands in a private room from the surveillance video.
Someone also revealed that the person who set off the large fireworks at the amusement park was none other than Mo Baiyou!
At the time, passersby outright said that the fireworks were set off in pursuit of someone they liked, and the woman being pursued was indeed Ning Yichu!
A flood of paid posters entered the comments section, setting the tone.
“Holy crap, no wonder Ning Yichu could win the Special Prize, turns out she got it through sleeping around, so it’s all about the capital, huh?”
“I’m disgusted, I’ve always thought Ning Yichu had genuine talent. Now it seems she’s no different, always marketing herself as an independent woman, but it turns out she can’t do without men…”
“No wonder President Li spoke up for Ning Yichu at the press conference…”
“I’ve heard that the wealthy families are messy, but I didn’t expect it to be this bad. Ning Yichu flits from one to another, what’s the difference between her and the outsiders? Aren’t Li Lingyang and Mo Baiyou just appalling?”
“Who knows, maybe they’re just playing together.”
“…”
For some users, the truth didn’t matter as much as what they wanted to see.
The heat of the situation was swiftly pushed to the top, with several more trending searches following.
As the wall fell, so did everyone push, and before long, many ‘in-the-know’ individuals came out to accuse Ning Yichu.
Before long, the marketer that Deelia had retweeted uploaded another video,
featuring scenes from Ji Shiwang’s auction.
The atmosphere was completely opposite to the one in Ning Yichu’s video.
Everyone was vying for a chance to bid, as if afraid of missing out on some rare treasure.
“Anyone who can enter such an event isn’t just rich but also a big shot in the industry, all scrambling to buy Ji Shiwang’s work, the insiders all understand.”
“How pitiful, Ji Shiwang is the one who truly deserves the special grand prize. What qualifications does Ning Yichu, that upstart girl, have to receive it?”
“Beauties, hurry up and tag the organizers—demand that they give justice back to our Miss Ji!”
“+10086!”
“…”
As Ji Shiwang sat at home applying a facial mask, she was swiping through her tablet.
When she saw public opinion gradually tipping in her favor, a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
The public discourse continued to ferment, and Ning Yichu’s reputation would only grow fouler.
…
Ning Yichu thought the waters had calmed when suddenly, this Deelia started making trouble again.
Did she really think she could affect her like this? How naive.
These cropped and doctored posts, the moment the original video is released, everything will be exposed.
The next day.
Ning Yichu was awakened by a barrage of urgent doorbell rings.
Throwing on a coat, she walked to the door only to see Aunt Wang and a middle-aged lady of substance having a discussion.
“Lady Ning, this woman suddenly showed up claiming to be your second aunt…”
“What do you mean claiming? I am indeed her second aunt!”
The lady was none other than the Ning Family’s second madam, Liang Qin.
“Second aunt? Does she even fit the title? She’s nothing more than a persistent stranger trying to cling to relations.”
Disdain filled Ning Yichu’s eyes, her words unmercifully stinging Liang Qin’s pride, tempting her to burst into profanity.
But as if suddenly remembering something, Liang Qin suppressed her anger, “Chu Chu, even if you don’t recognize me, you can’t change the fact that I’m your second aunt. I’m actually here today to help you.”
“Help me?” Ning Yichu curled her lips, repeating the words with profound meaning.
Thinking she had an opening, Liang Qin changed her tack, “Nowadays, whether online or in reality, who doesn’t know about you flitting about with President Li and Mr. Mo like that common girl? If you agree to return to the Ning Family, and as their granddaughter, would others still dare to spread rumors about you?”
“Sorry, but I have no interest in returning to the Ning Family, because the people there only make me sick. Whatever schemes or tricks you have up your sleeve, don’t bother considering me a part of them!”

“You child, what are you saying? I’m your aunt; could I possibly harm you?”
Liang Qin’s eyes flashed with shrewdness, her tone feigning compassion, “You and your mother have suffered too much these years outside. It truly weighs on my heart…”
If Ning Yichu had believed her words, she’d have been a fool.
Her gaze happened to catch the sight of Aunt Wang’s mop bucket.
Before Liang Qin could finish speaking, Ning Yichu promptly grabbed the bucket and tossed the contents her way.
Liang Qin screamed and tried to dodge, but she was too slow and got splashed on her skirt.
Anger crossed her face, but Ning Yichu couldn’t be bothered to engage any further and slammed the door shut with a bang.
“Aunt Wang, if that person dares to come again, just contact the property management to call security to kick her out!”
Hearing this, Aunt Wang felt reassured and nodded repeatedly, “Understood, Lady Ning.”
Chen Bao and Ningning were startled awake by the commotion in the living room and ran out from the bedroom.
“Mommy, were you just arguing with someone?” Ningning asked curiously, rubbing her sleepy eyes.
Ning Yichu bent down and tapped the little girl on the nose, “An annoying person came by; did they wake you guys up?”
Chen Bao shook his head, “Our biological clocks are about due anyway.”
“Then go freshen up; Granny Wang’s breakfast is almost ready.”
Seeing that mommy didn’t wish to elaborate, the two babies went conscientiously to the washroom to clean up.
Just as they were about to start breakfast, Ning Yichu received a phone call from her cousin, Ning Chiming.
He was the only one who had been willing to help her and her mother back in the day at the Ning Family.
“Yichu, did Second Aunt come to look for you? Please don’t fall for her tricks.”
