An Mei's face flushed with anger and her eyes saw red. The moment she understood that Chen Ziyue was playing with her this entire time, rage consumed her mind. Her knuckles turned white as she clenched the phone in her hand.
"CHEN ZIYUE!!!!!!" she screamed. "How dare you???? You think all of this is just a joke. Just wait, you bitch. I will destroy your life."
"You made the wrong move, Chen Ziyue. I won't forgive you nor will I let you go. Hah! I thought that you would be a little smarter and make the correct decision but you, you are just another idiot who doesn't know what's good for yourself. What did you think? That I will give up? That I will sit and do nothing about it."
"Wel, no. I won't give up. I know you are planning to make a comeback in the entertainment industry. But, I won't let it happen. And, nor the person who is supporting me. We will destroy you Chen Ziyue. You are finished!"
"Done?"
An Mei frowned. Her eyes darkened with confusion as she wondered why Chen Ziyue wasn't scared of her threats. According to their current situation, she should be scared and do what's told. Then why was there a completely different reaction from the other side?
This did not look good.
"Humph! Looks like you are still completely unaware of the situation on the internet, I believe you should check your Weibo before threatening me, An Mei."
"Also, I am giving you one last chance to come clean about the entire situation. If you don't tell the netizens about what exactly happened on that day, then don't blame me for what happens next. This is your time to make a good decision, An Mei. I hope you make the right choice."
The call ended.
An Mei looked at her phone with her eyes full of questions. What does Chen Ziyue mean? Why did she sound so smug? What's going on?
After this call with Chen Ziyue, An Mei felt a little uneasy. All of her confidence was gone. Thinking about Chen Ziyue's words, she quickly opened Weibo, went over to Chen Ziyue's official account, and saw the post she made. Her eyes quickly skimmed through the contents. Her heart lurched when she saw heard the audio recording of her call with Chen Ziyue.
All color drained from her face and her hands turned cold when she heard her voice threatening Chen Ziyue and demanding her money. "No, no, no... This is not true...." she murmured in shock. Her legs turned wobbly and her phone dropped from her hand.
No!!!!!
How could Chen Ziyue have that recording?
She recorded their call... Dammit!!!!!
How could she do this?
Oh no!!! Now, everyone knows about her lies. They all know how she framed Chen Ziyue and lied about everything on the video. They know that she was blackmailing and exhorting Chen Ziyue for money.
What will she do now?
How will she love?
An Mei panicked. The first thing she wanted to do was to call her mysterious backer and ask for help. But, then she stopped realizing that she couldn't do so. The mysterious backer had strictly warned her to not do anything to mess this entire thing up. However, her greed made her call Chen Ziyue and blackmail her for money.
She cannot call her mysterious backer and even if she did, An Mei didn't think her mysterious backer would help her now.
She was on her own. She needed to do something to salvage the entire situation. Thinking so, An Mei took a few deep breaths to calm down her mind and began to think about ways to get out of this problem. She looked at the post again and went through all the comments, reading what the netizens thought about this matter.
To her surprise, many netizens still believed in her. Most of them were supporting her, thinking that Chen Ziyue was using a fake audio recording to get herself out of this situation. Because of Chen Ziyue's stinking reputation, nobody wanted to believe her even after she posted the truth. Seeing this, an idea struck An Mei's mind and a smile lit up on her face.

Several minutes later, another video was posted by An Mei. In the video, she was crying, asking Chen Ziyue to forgive her for pulling her into this trouble. She begged An Mei to stop troubling her and leave her alone. She was crying, showing her pitiful innocent-looking face, pleading and recognizing her mistakes.
She accepted that she lied to everyone in her greed. She accepted that the audio was true and she simply wanted to get money out of Chen Ziyue's misfortune. But in the same sly manner, she also conveyed to everyone that she, a poor helpless girl could never win again a big shot, a celebrity like Chen Ziyue who had a big background supporting her.
Hence, everyone who saw the apology video felt that An Mei was still innocent and Chen Ziyue had pressurized and forced her to take the blame. This realization caused many netizens to be enraged more than ever. Soon, another round of hate comments, online bashing, and vile words against Chen Ziyue were spoken under the video.
"Humph! My heart still goes out to this poor girl. She is clearly innocent but had to take all the blame because of Chen Ziyue."
"I still cannot believe this. How can someone be so hateful?"
"Hah! What more can you expect from a mistress and a bitch? Using her status and background, she clearly forced an innocent girl to take the blame. I hate people like her the most!!!!"
"Me too."
"Yeah. So what if she's a celebrity? A nasty spoiled rich woman with a big background? I think we all should come against her and support An Mei."
"Yessssss. We all should support An Mei, an innocent victim, and save her from Chen Ziyue's trouble. #Support An Mei."
"@Chen Ziyue You are a liar. Come out and apologize to An Mei."
"@Chen Ziyue Nobody believes in you. Apologize to An Mei."
