As everyone already knew that Ren Lu and Lu Maner were good friends, Lu Maner's fans and the other netizens were convinced that she was being treated unfairly when Ren Lu had commented on her post in that manner.
The general public's opinion immediately changed. It was not long before everyone started scolding An Wen.
As the Bodyguards were lacking in terms of numbers and influence, they felt powerless at the situation.
Jiang Yiwen posted a comment in the group that said, [It's useless to fix the photos. Those photos were obviously Photoshopped to make An Wen look bad, so it's impossible that they can't tell. There's no need for us to fix them. Since it's already one of the trending searches, let's use this opportunity to promote An Wen. Although it won't be of much help, at least we can make her official page look a bit better.]
Once the official Weibo page's "leader" released these commands, the Bodyguards immediately went to work and began promoting An Wen.
They posted other pictures from Reuters, photos of their chance encounters with An Wen, beautiful photos of her from the end of filming banquet, and the video of her singing and playing the guitar.
[She has never done any plastic surgery. Why don't you look at Lil Sis's beautiful photos instead?]
[Listen to the beautiful young woman as she sings and plays the guitar. I'm a woman, but I feel so touched.]
[An Wen's appearance really suits what I imagined Qing Sha to look like.]
…
The Bodyguards' Weibo posts suddenly flooded the trending searches from their effort to fill in the gaps and promote their idol.
However, it was useless because [Lu Maner's Thoughts On The Last Night Of Filming] received so much attention that it continued to rank first among the trending searches.
Due to Lu Maner's image as a pure and innocent girl when she had first debuted, she was extremely popular with the netizen. Hence, the netizens were on her side when they saw her Weibo post.
[Can someone fill me in, please? I know Lu Maner, but who's An Wen?]
[Is Lu Maner being taken advantage of?]
[I actually had a good impression of An Wen initially.]
[An Wen tried to ride on the coattails on her beautiful co-star to make herself famous, but the original victim is finally fed up. An Wen has nobody else to blame but herself.]
[I've always thought that Lu Maner was prettier than that third-rate actress who had plastic surgery.]
…
"Lu Maner's so evil. Look at how much she hates you!" Jiang Shiyu angrily said, "She's lucky that she's so pretty. That woman made herself look so beautiful on the outside, but she's terribly hideous on the inside!"
An Wen looked at Jiang Shiyu and laughed before she said, "Didn't I already tell you this yesterday? It's fine."
Two of Xia Wei and An Wen's friends sent her WeChat messages to comfort her.
[Xia Wei: Lil Sis An, are you alright? I hope you're not crying! That woman Lu Maner is truly disgusting.]
[Cheng Hanwen: Lil Sis An, I'd advise you to join our company. It's impossible for you to handle this matter on your own.]
[Ye Xiaoxing: Lil Sis An, I'll support you no matter what happens!]
…
An Wen knew that this was merely a minor obstacle in her path because she had fans who believed in her and friends who supported her.
Jiang Shiyu and An Wen packed their belongings before they returned to Di City. Upon arrival, Jiang Shiyu suddenly cursed while they were still in the car.
"F*ck! That b*tch was clearly scheming!"
Apparently, Lu Maner had written a comment on the Sina Weibo entertainment page that read, [Those were just my thoughts at that time. It has nothing to do with An Wen.]
That comment amplified the netizens' reactions. They believe that Lu Maner had been wronged as evident by the replies on the comment.
[I believe you were forced to post this comment.]
[You don't have to explain because we understand everything.]
[It seems that the financial backer who's supporting An Wen has started taking action.]
[Now that I've read this comment, I'm even more convinced that my goddess was bullied.]
[She has crossed the f*cking line. This is so depressing.]
[I support Maner, but I don't believe this comment.]
…
"She provoked the netizens with her comment, but she managed to escape unscathed. Even if we went after her, she would just say that the netizens blew everything out of proportion and act completely innocent!" Jiang Shiyu stated while holding her phone, her facial expression showing that she desperately wanted to crush Lu Maner to death.
However, An Wen patted her shoulder and gently said, "It's fine. We'll be home in a bit. Let's take a shower and head to bed."
Jiang Shiyu's face was still shrouded in rage and she replied, "If I manage to get my hands on her one day, I'll give her a taste of her own medicine!"
