Chapter 351: Chapter 349 Trouble at the Lu Family 2_1

The billboards here aren’t made of paper, they’re backed by steel pipes and iron frames.

Originally, after such an incident, the advertising company would definitely have to pay compensation, but Xu Li died without being cured, and the compensation, along with the money she extorted from the Xia family, ended up going to an orphanage and charity organizations.

Mrs. Xia was dumbfounded, "This is just too unlucky..."

To think she was about to become rich, only to die?

It was almost like a joke!

"She had it coming." Tuanzi said, cracking sunflower seeds and rolling her eyes.

In his view, such a person deserved to die; daring to offend his sister, in their ancient times he would have wiped out her entire clan long ago!

But Xu Li was just a minor character, of no concern to Mrs. Xia.

What she was most concerned about now was...

"Bao’er, when are we going to release the photos?" It had already been two whole days since they got the photos from Xu Li, but Xia Ningxing had shown no intention of going public.

Mrs. Xia couldn’t help but grow anxious, as the sooner the truth came out, the sooner they’d be freed!

Right now, seeing that Xia Ningxing was still fine at home, the public was going mad with rage, and the media reporters were condemning in various ways, persistently pressuring.

The authorities were quite helpless; they were re-investigating the matter, but so far, no valuable clues had been discovered, so they could only have Xia Ningxing make a statement and couldn’t detain her.

The school was even more helpless. The authorities hadn’t convicted Xia Ningxing yet, so if they expelled her now, wouldn’t that be tantamount to smearing their own students? If there was any reversal in the case, the school would lose all its face.

Seeing that neither party was making any moves, everyone assumed it was a cover-up, and the denunciations surged once more.

Xia Ningxing looked at the newspapers and news articles full of insults towards her, leisurely sipped her tea, and said, "No rush, we’ll release it when the fervor reaches its peak."

She was a fine young adult, a victim who was slandered as a murderer and became widely known for it; if she didn’t take advantage of this, would it do justice to the suffering she had endured?

Mrs. Xia knew her daughter had a plan and nodded.

By the third day, there were already protests and even street marches against Xia Ningxing.

By then, there probably wasn’t a single person from the age of three to a hundred who didn’t know about her, Xia Ningxing!

Simply put, her national attention was quickly surpassing that of A-list stars.

Xia Ningxing, watching the live broadcast on TV, hugged Mrs. Xia’s arm and nuzzled her, "Mom, it’s time."

It was time to turn the tables.

...

In the afternoon.

Nobody expected that the Xia Ningxing they had been lambasting was actually the victim!

Look at the terror, despair, surprise, disbelief, and agony in her eyes as she fell off the cliff in the newspaper, how heartbreaking.

And then look at Wu Wenwen’s sinister, gleeful, excited, and agitated expression when pushing someone—it was clearly premeditated, and she couldn’t wait for Xia Ningxing to die.

People who saw the photo couldn’t help but shed tears.

They had actually sympathized with the perpetrator and insulted the victim before.

Oh, heaven!

They were worse than beasts!

"I’m sorry to Xia Ningxing, I apologize to this young lady, I even cursed her to die sooner!" Some people were so guilty they slapped themselves.

"Not only did I curse her, but I also cursed her ancestors for eighteen generations."

"I even splashed paint on her family’s shop."

"We were really too foolish, helping the perpetrator to slander the victim!"

The public was filled with guilt, feeling as remorseful as they had been fierce in their accusations.

Such a young girl had already suffered enough through this ordeal, and yet upon her return, she had to endure their multitude of insults.

In this era, people were still relatively simple and honest. Realizing their misunderstanding of Xia Ningxing, some publicly apologized, while others frenziedly visited the Xia family’s stores to spend, spend, spend, as if the more money they spent, the less guilt they felt.

In less than half a day, the Xia family’s stores, which were on the verge of closing for good, were bustling with activity, and the company’s shares skyrocketed, nearly breaking records and astonishing everyone.

That wasn’t all, numerous newspapers also revealed Xia Ningxing’s heroic act of saving a mother and daughter from domestic abuse during her trip to the countryside, and of course, pseudonyms were used to protect the privacy of the victims.

If the moment the truth about the murder case was revealed had seen Xia Ningxing gain high levels of attention, this act of heroism propelled her directly into the limelight.

"Oh my God, Xia Ningxing is so kindhearted!"

"This girl really radiates positive energy."

"Exactly, I swear that from now on, I’ll watch any TV show or movie Xia Ningxing stars in!"

"Me too!"

The whole nation was talking about Xia Ningxing.

Not only that, several state newspapers also singled out Xia Ningxing for praise, suggesting college students take her as a role model and learn from her spirit and actions.

Xia Ningxing estimated that her popularity had now surpassed that of A-list celebrities.

In a sense, the Wu family deserved credit for this...

Not only had they shot themselves in the foot, but they also inadvertently hyped up their enemy.

emmm, if she were a member of the Wu family, she’d probably cry herself to death.

Indeed, numerous entertainment companies had caught wind of this and were rushing to the Xia family to sign her up.

With her popularity and looks, any debut was guaranteed to be a hit. What company wouldn’t want to sign her!

They offered her outrageously attractive conditions, hoping to lure Xia Ningxing.

But Xia Ningxing rejected them all, completely unmoved, "I am very grateful for your offers, but I have already signed with a company."

"Which company? What kind of superior conditions did they offer you? We can double it!" an entertainment company’s representative promptly followed up.

"Double? I’ll give triple!"

"I’ll give four times as much!"

As they spoke, the competition intensified, and some even rolled up their sleeves, ready for a brawl.

Xia Ningxing felt a bit beleaguered and bluntly said, "There’s no need to fight, the benefits my company offers me are something you’ll never be able to provide."

"What benefits can’t we provide?" Upon hearing this, everyone involuntarily asked in unison.

Among them were two or three tycoons of entertainment companies who didn’t believe there were perks that their companies couldn’t afford.

As if!

Seeing their determination to get to the bottom of it, Xia Ningxing could only reveal, "The benefit my company offers me is that I get to be the boss. Can your companies do that?"

Representatives of the companies: "..."

Keep dreaming!

One person curiously asked, "Miss Xia, does this mean you’re going to start your own entertainment company?"

"Is that a problem?" Xia Ningxing retorted.

The person was left speechless. If it were anyone else, he could have easily countered until they cried, but it was different with Xia Ningxing—her family was loaded. What’s the big deal about starting one company, really!

If she pleased, she could start two, three of them!

Utter, sheer envy!
