Chapter 27: Chapter 27: The Jiang Family

After the stream ended, You Wei immediately gave her a call.

The fatherly look in his eyes made Jiang Qin feel completely uneasy.

She was no stranger to that gaze. In her first life, her fans used to look at her the same way, especially when she worked late.

Even when she got off work in the early hours of the morning, people would still be waiting outside just to see her and remind her to take care of her health.

You Wei had wanted to say that Jiang Qin had been a bit impulsive, but when he saw her pale little face, he couldn’t bring himself to say anything.

He could only sigh and say, “You have the day off today, so get some proper rest. Work can wait.”

“Thank you, boss.”

“Just call me Uncle You Wei from now on. No need to be so distant by calling me ’boss.’ You’re young, and to me, you’re like one of my own.”

Jiang Qin compliantly called out, “Uncle You Wei.”

“Good. You should rest. I won’t bother you anymore. If you need help with anything, just let me know.”

After the call ended, the room fell silent once more.

Jiang Qin felt a bit dizzy, so she had to put aside the thought of going to the hospital. She went back to her room, lay down, and fell asleep.

Meanwhile, the Star Network was buzzing with activity.

First, Lilia’s account was being bombarded with insults. In her comments section, Duolun University had been tagged countless times.

The university’s leadership immediately summoned Lilia’s advisor and told him to get to the bottom of the matter as quickly as possible.

If this wasn’t handled properly, it could easily damage the university’s reputation. The vice-chancellor was actually feeling a little fortunate at this moment.

Because Lilia was just an insignificant female, they didn’t have to be too concerned about how they handled her.

They could just expel her directly.

If it had been a female with some status, the university wouldn’t have dared to touch her.

Having her advisor handle it now was merely a formality.

The incident had spread so widely on the Star Network that there was no way they would cover for a D-level female and tarnish the university’s name.

Lilia hung up on her advisor’s call again.

She knew what he wanted to say, but she didn’t want to hear it right now.

Because she was busy editing a video.

Even though Jiang Ruming rarely returned to the dorm, Lilia had seized every opportunity to record some interesting things.

And so, the netizens were once again served some fresh, hot gossip.

[What? Jiang Qin is the biological daughter of the Blue Star’s Jiang Family Head? And Jiang Ruming is just the adopted daughter?

And that Jiang Family Head actually kicked her own daughter out for the adopted one?]

[Wait, didn’t the exposé also say that Jiang Qin intentionally harmed the young miss of the Jiang Family? Is it possible that Jiang Qin really did try to harm the adopted daughter out of jealousy?]

[But this Jiang Ruming is no saint either. She monopolized the affection meant for the real daughter and then just stood by and watched Jiang Qin suffer.]

The video Lilia posted showed a conversation between Jiang Ruming and two other females.

Those two were constantly badmouthing Jiang Qin. While Jiang Ruming didn’t join in, she didn’t say a word to stop them, nor did she explain that Jiang Qin was the real daughter of the Jiang Family.

And those two females, unaware of the truth, were constantly standing up for her.

They felt it was unfair to Jiang Ruming that the Jiang Family would suddenly adopt another female, so they particularly despised Jiang Qin.

After that, a voice recording was added to the video, a conversation between Jiang Ruming and Jiang Ruhai.

In the recording, Jiang Ruhai repeatedly emphasized that even if Jiang Qin came back, he would only ever acknowledge Jiang Ruming as his sister. As for Jiang Qin, he would never protect her as a sister.

The recording only contained this part, not what came after, so no one knew that Jiang Ruming had offered some polite platitudes later on.

For example, she had said that they were both his sisters and he shouldn’t be too harsh.

Of course, Lilia had the rest of the recording, but she wasn’t trying to win public favor for Jiang Ruming, so she naturally cut out the latter part.

Then, she posted another video.

In the video, she admitted to having framed Jiang Qin for stealing her musical score.

However, she claimed the main reason was that she couldn’t stand to see her roommate bullied by the suddenly-adopted female, which caused her to be blinded by anger.

She claimed that the recordings and videos had been sent to her anonymously today.

And it was only today that she realized she had misunderstood; that Jiang Qin was the real daughter of the Jiang Family.

This was all a conflict between the two young misses of the Jiang Family, and she was simply too naive and got caught up in their dispute.

Then she also mentioned that Jiang Ruming hadn’t been to school for several days, and her advisor said she was hospitalized with injuries.

And the one who put her in the hospital was none other than Jiang Qin.

She claimed that she had only designed the frame-up to get revenge for Jiang Ruming out of a sense of justice.

The video ended with Lilia offering a sincere apology with red-rimmed eyes.

It had to be said, she was a master at shifting blame.

She directly pinned the blame for framing Jiang Qin on Jiang Ruming, while also taking the opportunity to smear Jiang Qin.

In the end, she became the impulsive female who stood up for her roommate, Jiang Ruming became the adopted daughter trying to eliminate the real heiress, and Jiang Qin became the vile little female who harmed another out of jealousy for the adopted daughter.

And wouldn’t you know it, quite a few people on the Star Network actually believed her.

After all, one was the adopted daughter who had been pampered by the Jiang Family for eighteen years, and the other was the real heiress who had been stranded on a Barren Star for eighteen years.

They were natural-born enemies.

Because no one had yet dug up the fact that Jiang Ruming was the child of Jiang Yulian’s own brother, many people were even starting to suspect it was a case of switched-at-birth.

However, some people were still rational.

[That’s probably impossible, right? Females have to get an annual check-up. How could there be a mix-up?]

[I thought it was impossible too, but I just got curious. Since Jiang Ruming is an adopted daughter, who are her biological parents?

So I posted a thread asking what her beast form is, hoping to make a guess based on it.

And you know what? It turns out nobody knows what Jiang Ruming’s beast form is! I heard she’s refused check-ups since she was a child and only ever gets them from her family doctor!

And then her examination reports are encrypted before being uploaded to the database for record-keeping.]

[What? She’s never had a check-up at school? How is that even allowed?]

[It’s always been allowed. Some families who want to hide their females’ physical data just have them get check-ups at private hospitals.]

[Males can hide their data too, as long as your family is rich and powerful enough.]

[The Jiang Family isn’t much in the Federation, but on Blue Star, they can still rank in the top ten on the wealth charts.]

[That’s right. Although the Jiang Family Head is only a B-level female, her partners are all quite impressive.]

[The Jiang Family Head is named Jiang Yulian. She’s a White Rabbit Genetic Beastman with excellent fertility. She’s given birth to one female and three males in total, all through natural conception.

Her first partner is the CEO of Rich Technology Company, her second is the captain of Blue Star Guard Team Three, her third is the vice-commander of an A-level Mercenary Corps, her fourth is a researcher, and her fifth is the third master of the Cai Family.]

So, as a B-level female, every one of her partners was exceptionally outstanding.

Except for the one from the Cai Family, all the others were A-level males.

Not to mention her partners who had died previously, who were also A-level males.
