During this period, Chen Yalan was thriving. Initially, she worried that An Xuan might expose her, but she later realized that neither An Xuan nor An Lan paid any attention to her or her online activities, which made her even more brazen, often playing the sympathy card on the internet.
As a result, quite a few people donated money to her spontaneously. In just one week, Chen Yalan received over five hundred thousand yuan through fundraising. Her quality of life visibly improved so much that she even felt it wouldn't matter if Yuan Dahai stayed in prison forever.
Despite the villagers keeping their distance and many badmouthing her to her face, Chen Yalan attributed it all to their jealousy of her easy money. When she saw that An Xuan was about to go live to clarify the matter, what worried her most wasn't her true nature being exposed, but the fear that people would no longer donate to her.
Anxious, she paced around the house before finally deciding to call An Xuan.
