As Mei Shu spoke, her face was radiant, and her eyes shimmered with a glimmer of hope.
Lu Yan recalled her mother’s so-called test, pursed his lips, and said, “How do you plan to handle this? Why don’t you let me help you?”
“I really don’t need it. I can handle it myself.” Mei Shu once again refused him, oblivious to the disappointment in his eyes, and continued down the stairs.
Almost the entire internet was waiting for Mei Shu’s explanation.
Since Mei Mu had spoken up for herself, if Mei Shu remained silent, the public would assume that she couldn’t refute the claims and had no choice but to accept them.
Then it would be even harder for Mei Shu to turn the situation around.
At the peak of the event’s popularity, Mei Shu returned home and went to her room. She registered an official social media account and posted a dynamic message, directly presenting evidence.
At first, her account received little attention as it was a new one.
However, people quickly noticed that a post from an unknown account had been successively reposted by Elder Wu and Elder Wu. Even the official account of the Lu Group, one of the organizers of the piano competition, not only reposted the content but also liked it and commented, “Support Miss Mei’s counterattack against the rumor-mongers.”
The fact that a post from a small account could be simultaneously shared by three heavyweight figures caught everyone’s attention.
Meanwhile, Mei Mu was excitedly browsing online, taking comfort in the messages supporting her.
She also saw this post, but at this moment, she still hadn’t realized that she was about to fall into a trap.
Outside her hospital room, more and more nurses and patients gathered, and she finally sensed that something was off.
She walked over to the door and opened it, only to see people outside pointing their phones at her face. As she opened the door, the flash of cameras sounded incessantly inside the room, blinding her, making her instinctively raise her hand to block the light.
“What are you all doing? Who told you to take pictures of me?” Had she become famous? Were all these people her online fans?
Thinking of this possibility, her initially stern expression softened as she said, “If you want a group photo, please line up one by one. But I’m still recovering, so 1 can only take pictures with three people. Others will have to wait for the next time.”
However, instead of cheers as she had imagined, the atmosphere suddenly froze, and everyone stared at her like statues.
Mei Mu made a cute gesture and waved her hand in front of them. “What’s wrong with all of you? Do you want more than three people in the photo?”
This was the first time they had ever been so close to an online celebrity, and it was normal for them to want to spend more time with her.
Mei Mu smiled good-naturedly, “Alright then, five people! I’ll still be here tomorrow!”
“No, Miss Mei Mu, you’ve misunderstood. We’re not here to take photos with you,” a patient weakly raised his hand, interrupting her imagination. “We just want to confirm if the news online is true, if you’re really staying in this hospital room.”
“What news? Are you talking about the one where Mei Shu pushed me down the stairs? Of course, that’s true. Otherwise, why am I still stuck in the hospital now?” Mei Mu’s face showed some anger. “Alright, if you don’t want to take photos, let’s end it here for today. I need to rest.”
“Mei Mu, stop pretending! We all know now! Mei Shu has already revealed the truth to everyone!” Someone couldn’t stand Mei Mu’s arrogant attitude and yelled at the door.
Mei Mu was startled by the person’s loud voice, and her brow furrowed. “Pretending? Even if Mei Shu wants to clarify herself online, it’s just her empty words without evidence. How dumb are you all to believe her?”
“We’re dumb if we believe you! You’ve taken us all for fools and deceived us. I’ve been speaking up for you since last night!” The person was clearly furious and raised his phone to take several unflattering pictures of Mei Mu in front of her. “I’m going to post these pictures online now. 1 want everyone to see your true colors!”
“Exactly! Expose her! We can’t let such a wicked woman go easily!” More and more people in the crowd began to chime in.
Mei Mu finally sensed that something was wrong, and her whole body trembled. “Why are you saying this about me? 1 haven’t done anything! It’s clearly Mei Shu who has been bullying me! Why are you treating me like this?”
She cried pitifully, but it failed to elicit any sympathy from anyone present.
Taking advantage of her tears, the person had already uploaded all the photos online.
Now, he was proudly holding his phone and said, “Don’t pretend to be innocent! You’ve been manipulating the narrative online since last night, exposing Mei Shu. 1 knew a bastard like you couldn’t be anything good. You pretended to be a stranger online, secretly smearing your own sister! She’s the legitimate Miss Mei of the Mei family.. Even if you try to smear others, you can’t deny the fact that you’re just a despicable illegitimate child!”
