As Nuomi had worried, Xia Weiliang was met with widespread mockery.
A popular female celebrity, a topic-creator, a regular on the trending topics list… yet she only donated 800,000 yuan?
An ordinary minor celebrity had donated a million yuan, not to mention many unmentioned live-streamers who donated millions.
“Hahaha, she only donated that little money?”
Xia Yiran couldn't stop laughing, and Zhang Peng nodded, “That’s right, this is no fabrication. The charity fund has publicly listed the donations from celebrities.”
“Brother Zhang, arrange for some skilled writers to tear her apart!”
Xia Yiran had participated in an episode of "Courage" and was ridiculed for her performance, forcing her to keep a low profile. Seeing Xia Weiliang’s booming career, she gnashed her teeth in hatred but felt powerless!
She never expected that fate would grant her such an opportunity!
Xia Yiran sneered, “She has no talent, no works, and only relies on variety shows to win over the public. If her image is damaged, it will be a fatal blow!”
For a time, sarcastic articles targeting Xia Weiliang emerged endlessly.
For every fan she had, there were those who disliked her. These people began to jump around in the comments section, and anyone who spoke up for Xia Weiliang was attacked.
But compared to all this, Xia Weiliang actually didn’t care.
She donated as much as she could afford. She couldn’t possibly take out a loan from the bank just to donate money, could she?
If there was any benefit to being reborn, it was that her perspective and her mind had changed. Her time was not meant for arguing with haters online. So, for these past few days, she did what she needed to do, completely unaffected.
“Little Jinzi's procedures are all complete. I want to wait for her to adapt for two months before finding her a kindergarten.”
Xia Weiliang had been spending time with Little Jinzi recently. The little girl was more adaptable than she had imagined and quickly accepted the new home and new family members. She showed no surprise even upon meeting Little Blue.
In Nuomi’s words, “Well, you can’t be a family without being of one mind!”
“Of course!” Xia Weiliang said with pride, “This is the little girl I saved!”
Seeing that Xia Weiliang hadn't spoken out online, the suddenly numerous haters seemed to have found an excuse, mocking her for being guilty and not daring to respond directly.
This infuriated some people!
【Zilepot Xiaole: Ahhh! Xiaole is so angry! How dare they talk about our little sister like that! Where were you when our little sister was in the disaster area? Where were you when our little sister went all out for traditional culture? Laughing at our little sister for donating little? Fine, Xiaole, on behalf of @Xia Weiliang, I donate Ten Million Yuan!】
【Modi Shared: Heh. In addition to Modi Group’s donation, I once again represent Miss @Xia Weiliang Xia Weiliang in donating Ten Million Yuan.】
The netizens exploded. Brand fathers, are you still in need of filial descendants? The kind who can be filial!!
These were also the most hardcore fathers in history. If it were any other company, when their spokesperson had any slight disturbance, they would first draft a public relations statement to distance themselves, or else send a lawyer's letter for breach of contract!
But look at Xiaole and Xiaodi. You dare to mock our spokesperson?
Fine, a hundred million yuan will be thrown in your faces!
We don’t ask you to show compassion for the disaster, but please don’t cause trouble for humanity!
The onlookers knew that whenever this woman Xia Weiliang was involved, things were definitely not over yet! Sudancan.com
As expected, after Zilepot and Modi spoke out, a mysterious magnate, "Master Gu," donated another Ten Million Yuan, also under the name "Xia Weiliang."
And this was still not the end!
A new account, "Your Great-Aunt," also donated Ten Million Yuan, without exception, under Xia Weiliang’s name.
Netizens were curious and investigated. This investigation led to a deeper discovery—Your Great-Aunt was indeed a great-aunt! She was the Empress’s great-aunt!
Rich people aren't stupid. So many wealthy magnates stepping forward to defend Xia Weiliang explained what?
It explained the Empress's personal charisma!
Clearly, she had such a powerful background, but did our Empress boast about it or flaunt it?
She donated as much as she could honestly, not comparing herself to others, not afraid of being mocked. Yet, some people just liked to make a scene!
Those articles slandering the Empress clearly looked like they were mass-produced from the same assembly line, whether it was intentional or targeted was self-evident.
Hao Ting Club.
The premier business club in the country. Around it, there was only one word: expensive!
Its luxury was beyond words. It was said that the beautiful women working there had to be top-notch, possessing beauty, education, temperament, and both emotional and intelligence quotients.
In a Hao Ting ultra-luxury private room, the boss opposite was being embraced by women on both sides, shouting at the top of his lungs.
On the sofa, a man in a suit leaned back leisurely in a corner, scrolling through the news on his phone.
Seeing the press releases mocking a certain female star, his handsome brows furrowed.
He didn't read further and decisively made a call.
“Targeted donation, Shili Village, fifty million… Xia Weiliang.”
Not long after hanging up, a donation announcement from a public welfare organization was once again trending.
【What the heck! Fifty million! Which tycoon is this?】
【What kind of divine friends has the Empress made? They’re lining up to donate for the Empress! Anyone who dares to call the Empress stingy again, I’ll be the first to object!】
【So many magnates vying to donate for the Empress is enough to show the Empress's character!】
【It’s clearly a trivial matter, I don’t understand why they’re slandering her! The Empress has only been taking on jobs for a short while, she still needs to support a team, and perhaps the company is holding back her money. It’s normal for her to be short on cash, okay!】
By the time Xia Weiliang found out about all this, Weibo had already been buzzing with Sherlock Holmes-level deductions for half a day.
Everyone was speculating about the identity of the benefactor who generously donated fifty million yuan. A suitor? Or a magnate who fancied the Empress?
However, some people were exceptionally observant.
【Sisters, haven't you noticed? Usually, as long as the Empress is involved, the Film Emperor might be late, but he will never be absent! But this time… he’s too late, isn't he.】
【You upstairs, if you want to ride the trend, go hug another celebrity’s thigh. Don’t involve our Yi Shen in everything, thank you.】
This statement seemed insignificant amidst the many echoing affirmations.
【It seems I’m not the only one who suspects this! When has Yi Shen not subtly made his presence known? But this time… hehe, you know what I mean.】
【So, has the fifty million been accounted for? Has the case been solved?!】
Immediately, someone arranged a long analytical piece, analyzing from past cases to character personality, finally concluding: Yi Shen was just late, but he would definitely show up.
