A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire-Chapter 863: Slap in the Face!

In fact, most netizens don’t really believe that today’s media can be so honest. They are used to blowing things out of proportion.

Even if they wrong someone, so what? They only care about attention and magazine sales.

These days, gossip tabloids aren’t afraid of receiving lawyer letters. They’re used to skirting the edge, saying things that are ambiguous.

Even if they’re exposed in the end, it’s just an apology at most.

"Did the media get brainwashed today? They dare to say such self-defeating things; who would trust their reports in the future?"

"It seems Mu Yan must have some strong backing, making these media outlets come forward to clarify even at the risk of being wrong."

"I don’t think these media outlets are trying to help Mu Yan clear her name; they might just be using Mu Yan to stir up heat, just like Fan Youyou and Zhang Qun."

"Is everyone missing the point? No matter why the media stepped in to clarify, it’s Zhang Qun and Fan Youyou, these two scumbags, who deceived the public and dragged Mu Yan down, causing a storm of backlash."

...

Mu Yan suddenly looked at Jiang Jingheng, "Did you get these media to clear my name?"

"No," Jiang Jingheng said calmly.

"You’re lying!" Mu Yan frowned.

Does he think he’s some kind of hero, doing good deeds without leaving a name? Ha!

Jiang Jingheng retorted, "They reported false information. Shouldn’t they naturally retract it?"

Mu Yan still didn’t believe it, "The media have thicker skins than city walls. Making them slap their own faces is impossible. What did you do to scare them like this?"

Jiang Jingheng calmly said, "I just provided evidence and stated that I would sue those slandering you until they’re bankrupt."

Mu Yan, "..."

This still counts as nothing? That’s a blatant threat.

"It’s just that the Zhuang Family has intervened in this matter," Jiang Jingheng suddenly said.

"What?" Mu Yan looked at him in surprise; how did she not know about this?!

"The Zhuang Family announced it’s necessary for relevant departments to rectify the bad media and restore a peaceful public opinion environment."

Mu Yan, "..."

That’s even scarier.

Alright, her husband and grandpa are really impressive.

However, why does she feel like she’s only getting deeper into trouble, bound to be exposed sooner or later?

She took a sip of milk and continued scrolling through the news.

Aside from questioning Mu Yan’s strong backing, most of the comment section is criticizing Zhang Qun and Fan Youyou.

"I feel like I want to vomit out yesterday’s meal. They pretended to be deeply in love but were just acting, toying with us fans."

"Now I understand why Fan Youyou suddenly defended Mu Yan yesterday. She probably knew she couldn’t afford to offend her and wanted to jump ship. It’s not that easy; it’s like killing once versus ten times—no essential difference, both are murderers."

"Zhang Qun and Fan Youyou played it well, creating a false impression that Mu Yan was a third wheel who caused their breakup. One became Mu Yan’s rumored boyfriend, and the other a victim of Mu Yan’s love snatch. With Mu Yan’s popularity, both Zhang the scumbag and ’victim’ Fan can gain a huge following. Poor Mu Yan, used as a stepping stone by the scumbag and wicked woman because of her popularity."

"Can the media’s claim that there’s nothing between Mu Yan and Zhang be trusted? Yesterday they said she’d been secretly dating Zhang for a long time."

...

Some fans of Fan Youyou and Zhang Qun refuse to believe their idols lied and protested, accusing Mu Yan of twisting the truth.

Some crazy fans even hired online trolls to curse her under Mu Yan’s Weibo.

Quickly, they were slapped by reality when Zhang Qun and Fan Youyou personally stepped up to clarify.
