"Ah, Yi Ge, it's nothing really..."
Before Yan Zhi could finish, Da Yang pouted and said pitifully, "Boss, please help Niang Niang, she's in such a miserable state!"
Yan Zhi quietly turned his head to look at him. You're really not afraid of causing trouble for your boss. You're definitely a mole sent by the opposition!
Seeing the Weibo post from Mrs. Xia, Xiao Yi frowned. "Why didn't you tell me?"
"You had a late-night shoot, and there's an early morning scene later..."
Yan Zhi stopped explaining and simply admitted his mistake. "Brother Yi, I was wrong. From now on, anything concerning Niang Niang, I will report to you immediately!"
Da Yang glanced at him, clearly with an expression that said, "This assistant of yours isn't good enough."
This amused Yan Zhi.
Alright, your identity as a "Su Da Fen" won't be hidden for much longer.
Xiao Yi got up and made a call.
When the other end answered, he cut to the chase. "I don't want to see the words 'Xia Yiran' anymore."
He hung up after that single instruction.
On the other end, Zhou Hou rubbed his temples and looked at the two people beside him. "Do you have any more heart-relief pills? Give them two."
Lian Jun: "Sigh, the demand has been high lately, I only have one left. Old Tu, do you have any?"
Old Tu: "Let me look... Ah, I happen to have one more."
---
It was already past midnight when the program recording finished.
Xia Weiliang knew she was the center of attention, so after the program, she left through the back door without even removing her makeup.
It wasn't until she got into the car that Nuomi handed her the phone.
"Wei Wei Jie, take a look."
"What's wrong?"
Thinking it was another trick from Xia Yiran, Xia Weiliang took it and looked. It was an article posted by Ji Huan.
"Xiao Liang, Don't Be Afraid..."
From the first time Ji Huan met her, her resistance to rich second-generation heirs, her subsequent changes, and their mindsets after the true and false heiress incident broke out, the article explained everything clearly.
Xia Weiliang's eyes were red throughout her reading, and by the last paragraph, she completely broke down.
【Xiao Liang, even if the whole world condemns you and abandons you, don't be afraid, you still have me, and us! Those who hurt you in the name of "family" are not worth it!】
She wasn't someone who liked to show weakness in front of others. She evasively shifted her gaze and subtly wiped away her tears with her finger. "Huan Jie she..."
Nuomi, being considerate, said, "Wei Wei Jie, keep reading."
"?"
Xia Weiliang's finger swiped through Weibo, and the hot search was #《Challenge》 The Tie Family Issues a Collective Statement#.
She was stunned.
It was the official Weibo account of "Challenge" that had reposted the video.
The video was posted by Director Song on his own Weibo.
As the patriarch of "Challenge," Director Song rarely appeared in public, and he looked quite reserved and shy facing the camera.
"Hello everyone, I am Song Yuhua, the chief director of 'Let's Challenge!'. I don't go online often and don't understand those online things, but as the patriarch of this family, I have the responsibility and obligation to protect my family members..."
Next to appear was Brother Cheng, still in his stage costume, the background clearly a secluded corner. He was uncharacteristically serious, looking at the camera and saying sternly, "I've been in the industry for over twenty years and have met many people. Liang Er is truly a great kid..."
Sister Hua: "...I don't care what others say, I only know that whoever bullies my sister is not okay!"
Rui Rui: "Sister, you are my best wife-sister! It's so dangerous outside, hurry back to the embrace of our big family!"
Afterward, there were also costume designers, makeup artists, and other staff members who had interacted with Xia Weiliang, all supporting her in their own ways.
Finally, Director Song said, "Don't misunderstand, I'm really not using my directorial privilege. Although I don't like to handle problems so ostentatiously, just today, some people taught me through experience that those with louder voices usually win arguments."
"Lastly, I want to say: Xiao Liang, your family is here."
Xia Weiliang didn't speak, she just lowered her head and covered her face with both hands.
What were they all doing?
Did they have to make her cry?
It was clear that Director Song had posted on Weibo in his own name. After the program's official Weibo reposted it, Orange TV also followed suit.
This stance was very clear – Orange TV would become Xia Weiliang's biggest backing!
After that, the scheming Le appeared in public for the first time without piggybacking on hot topics: "@Miss Xia Weiliang, Xiao Le will always be your Xiao Le."
The comments below were all stunned: 【Most surprising sight of my life! The scheming Le isn't piggybacking on hot topics anymore!!】
【Xiao Le! Where are your advertising slogans? Where's your line about being delicious and inexpensive???】
【Wuwu~ I'm touched by Xiao Le~】
Overbearing Di, who was passively paired with Xiao Le as a CP, also went online: "@Xia Weiliang, so-called family is just being there when you need them."
【Wow wow wow! Overbearing Di, I love you, I love you!】
Xia Weiliang scrolled through, her vision becoming increasingly blurry.
"Wei Wei Jie! The 'Courage' program team has also spoken out!"
The video background was still in Lotus Village.
After the program, the guests had all returned, only Director Huang and Da Zhuang and a few other family members remained, helping the villagers with the follow-up work for live-streaming sales. They were truly thoughtful.
Director Huang didn't appear in front of the camera but held up the camera himself.
"Liang'er, I'm Brother Li! I've already contacted the neighboring Lotus Flower Village and Sophora Village. The venue and sound system are all arranged, just waiting for you to come for our joint concert!"
"Liang'er, I'm your second uncle! Thanks to you for finding a partner, my son not only doesn't object, but he's coming back to accompany me to blind dates!"
"...I'm Aunt Xiu! I know you're busy with work, but you must make time to come back and see us! Aunt Xiu misses you so much!"
"...Xiao Xia, I'm the village chief! Your little canteen has been a great help. Our village has many elderly people left behind, and they often make do with meals. With this canteen, everyone eats together, enjoying varied and nutritious meals! Moreover, the town has decided to allocate special nutrition funds to our village to improve the elderly's diet!"
Xia Weiliang cried and laughed alternately. Looking at these simple and enthusiastic faces, she felt as if she had instantly returned to Lotus Village.
From Director Song to Director Huang, no one mentioned Mrs. Xia's Weibo. The guests who participated in "Courage" also reposted it immediately.
Whether it was Wai Shao, mikoy, or Situ and A Ning, they all used their own ways to tell her that she was not alone.
Not to mention people like Chu Qiao, Su Yuxi, u11, m77, etc., they were always seen supporting her!
Director Huang's personal Weibo had surpassed ten thousand reposts for the first time, and it was still trending upwards.
The comments below were also mostly positive.
The comment with the most likes was from the exceptionally clear-headed little darling:
【I don't know the truth, and I don't care to find out. I only know that every time Niang Niang gets into trouble, more and more people come out to support her. Doesn't that speak volumes about her character? In contrast, what about Miss Xia?】
Shortly after, the Night Vision platform reposted Director Huang's Weibo.
Director Huang himself was shocked.
What did this represent?
Netizens interpreted it as: Following Orange TV, Niang Niang had gained another major platform to protect her.
Xia Weiliang was truly touched by everyone's warmth until she heard Nuomi exclaim, "Wei Wei Jie!! The Film Emperor is online!!!"
