Even After My Death
Chapter 240 - 160: His Lifesavers are Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou!_3

Chapter 240: Chapter 160: His Lifesavers are Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou!_3

Mu Mingxuan exuded a powerful aura, but those little haters were not to be outdone. They had done their homework before coming; as long as they didn’t cause serious injury, it wouldn’t constitute a crime.

They swelled Huo Miao’s face with blows, but it couldn’t even be considered a minor injury. At most, they’d face a few days of detention and a verbal warning, plus some compensation for medical expenses.

"Call the police if you want to, we’re not afraid."

"Mu Mingxuan, you really are a good dog in Huo Miao’s hands."

"Huo Miao replaced Jiang Ning’s identity in reality, becoming the Huo Family’s young miss, your fiancée. In the variety show, she pulled the same trick, replacing Jiang Ning to become your lifesaver, fooling you into marriage."

"And you can fucking tolerate that!"

Their words made Mu Mingxuan’s brows furrow deeply: "What are you talking about?"

How would they know about Miaomiao and Jiang Ning’s swapped identities?

And what did that last sentence have to do with Jiang Ning?

Jiang Ning, who had good hearing, also overheard this.

Looking up, she didn’t expect that after she and Qi Xingzhou had left, there was still a follow-up.

Had she known everything on the desolate island was fake, she would never have given Mu Mingxuan another glance!

She didn’t know which company had developed the holographic equipment, but the virtual scenarios were a one-to-one match with reality, even the body’s own sensations overlapped with reality, making it impossible to tell it was all made up.

Hearing what those haters said, Huo Miao, who was buried in Mu Mingxuan’s arms and too afraid to show her face, was suddenly chilled to the bone with fear.

She had been anxious the whole way, constantly thinking about how to explain these things to Mu Mingxuan.

Huo Miao had never thought to keep it a secret from Mu Mingxuan forever, but her plan was to wait for a private setting, alone with him, to tell him personally. At least she could mitigate the impact by switching to other topics and take a more roundabout approach.

At the very least, she couldn’t let Mu Mingxuan find out from someone else!

That would be a real disaster!

Huo Miao suddenly acted like a madwoman, pulling Mu Mingxuan to leave: "Mingxuan, let’s get out of here first!"

Mu Mingxuan, full of doubts, restrained Huo Miao: "... Wait a moment"

Their vastly different reactions made everything clear to everyone.

One of the girls couldn’t help but laugh: "Ha, you didn’t know? Didn’t you go online after you left the show?"

Mu Mingxuan’s brow furrowed.

His phone had been broken by Huo Miao.

Huo Miao couldn’t drag Mu Mingxuan, her expression nearing collapse as she cried and pleaded: "Don’t listen to them! I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you myself!"

But how could this group of haters pass up such a golden opportunity.

Before they turned against her and began to kick her when she was down, they were all Huo Miao’s loyal fans, working daily on Mengbo with dedication, providing support for Huo Miao, maintaining her popularity, voting for her rankings, buying products she endorsed, with piles of her merchandise still in their homes... Even the small group they now belonged to was originally formed because they all shared a fondness for Huo Miao.

And now it had become a group of haters.

The more miserable Huo Miao’s life was, the more it could offset the hate in their hearts, so they said aloud:

"The person who saved you from the river that day wasn’t Huo Miao at all!"

"She can’t swim, how could she possibly have saved you from the river?"

"Other than Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou, who else would have the kindness and ability?"

"Did you forget? After you saved her to the riverbank, if she hadn’t climbed up in a panic and kicked you, you wouldn’t have been swept back into the river due to exhaustion."

"After climbing ashore, Huo Miao went straight back! It was Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou who actually pulled you out of the river!"

"You have no idea, besides you, Huo Ziheng’s death in the show is also related to her."

"Yeah, she was the one who pushed Huo Ziheng down, refusing to admit it and falsely claiming that Huo Ziheng fell because he lost his balance. Huo Ziheng was her elder brother and was so good to her, yet she didn’t even dare to retrieve his body from the forest, even though all of this was fake. Just wait! You will suffer even worse because of her!"

Huo Miao turned pale, aware that Mu Mingxuan’s hand on her shoulder was getting heavier, acknowledging that he was taking in what they said.

Mu Mingxuan looked down at Huo Miao and asked coldly: "Is what they’re saying true?"

Mu Mingxuan didn’t want to believe that Huo Miao, who grew up with him like childhood friends, could be such a hypocritical and selfish person.

But the haters’ words were convincing, not sounding like lies at all.

In contrast, Huo Miao’s panic-stricken face made people suspicious.

Not to mention, his phone had been broken by her.

Facing Mu Mingxuan’s question, Huo Miao was at a loss for words, but the haters spoke with wild bravado:"If you don’t believe, just look it up online yourself! After all, it was all live broadcasted 24 hours, it’s all on the internet!"

With such an obvious reaction, Mu Mingxuan had nothing left to misunderstand.

He gazed at Huo Miao intently for a moment, suddenly shoving her away with a forceful hand, storming off furiously on his own.

Huo Miao let out a wretched scream, collapsing to the ground.

Many people around had recognized her, busily capturing the scene with their phones, but Huo Miao couldn’t care less about that or her scattered luggage on the ground. She scrambled up, hobbling after Mu Mingxuan, crying out his name, making a complete fool of herself was an understatement.

The security guards: "..."

The little haters: "..." Hee hee.

The onlooking passersby: "..." Exciting!
