Chapter 100: Making Money Is Nothing to Be Ashamed Of

Jiang Sui contentedly patted Xuanxuan’s neatly tied little braids. What a well-behaved child.

In fact, Jiang Sui had already prepared for this long before appearing on the show today. She had intended to release the surveillance footage from the toy store at the height of the live broadcast, exposing the online rumors and throwing the mud right back at them.

She had had Chen He investigate the person who made the post—it was a secondary account of Bai Xixue’s biggest fan. Whether or not Bai Xixue’s team was involved, the parties of interest and those harmed were perfectly clear. The instigator would not escape without consequence.

Driving Xuanxuan home to the villa, Jiang Sui awaited developments.

That very night, the netizen who stirred up the online drama was exposed—it was indeed Bai Xixue’s fan’s alternate account. At the same time, the blogger who posted the rumor was taken away by the police for spreading falsehoods, as the repost count had exceeded 500.

"Bai Xixue’s fans are truly disgusting, deliberately slandering Jiang Sui and little Xuanxuan!"

"Where’s your morals and bottom line? How could anyone do such a thing?"

"Someone’s still pretending nothing happened—could they be involved in this too?"

"This all started because of a rivalry on the variety show, so now they’re targeting Jiang Sui? Just because you married a powerful husband doesn’t mean you’re powerful too!"

"Jiang Sui and Xuanxuan are so pitiful, being scolded so badly and not saying a word."

"How ironic—weren’t some people shouting about fairness and justice? Well, here it is! The one you idolize has been caught!"

Meanwhile, Jiang Sui’s lawyer, Zhao Xin, published a legal notice of prosecution on his social media. Netizens erupted.

"Jiang Sui is amazing! From now on, I’m a die-hard fan of Mommy Jiang! Finally, someone in the entertainment industry actually sues instead of just talking about it. So satisfying!"

"Big thumbs up to the comment above! I’ve never seen such a decisive celebrity! Others just release statements when rumors spread, but Sui Sui sends people straight to jail! What a refreshing story!"

"Ahhh, it’s Lawyer Zhao Xin! Our law school’s senior! Oh my god, he’s actually handling a celebrity case!"

"Wow, does Lawyer Zhao Xin even take this kind of case?"

"Whenever Zhao Xin gets involved, it’s bound to be criminal! Absolutely worthy of attention!"

Zhao Xin was already a renowned lawyer in the industry, with five million active followers on his social platform. It was said he only served as legal counsel for the most powerful figures.

But now he had taken Jiang Sui’s case? Even though Jiang Sui had become very popular lately, it was just through variety shows. At most, she could be considered a variety show star—a hot topic, but not a true powerhouse in the entertainment world. For a lawyer of his stature to represent such a celebrity seemed beneath him.

Doubt began to surface in the comments.

"Lawyer Zhao, why are you taking this kind of case?"

Normally aloof and rarely interactive, Zhao Xin replied with rare brevity: "Making money. Nothing shameful about it."

Those five simple words quickly garnered endless likes.

"Hahaha, Lawyer Zhao’s right—making money is nothing to be ashamed of!"

"Zhao Xin really sees things clearly, 666!"

At that moment, Jiang Sui was reading Zhao Xin’s reply to her message.

"Serious offense—up to three years. At least two and a half."

Jiang Sui responded, "OK."
