Chapter 2936: Her Name Was Already Trending on Social Media
Her bank account balance soon showed the sum of money. It was enough to support her and Yi Xiaodong for a while.
With money to live on, Ning Shu felt more at ease and took a moment to reflect on her recent efforts.
With no food or shelter, she had sacrificed a phone just for this scheme.
Ning Shu wasn’t a well-known streamer, but this event attracted a lot of attention to her.
Everything she had said to Min Haochu had been broadcast live.
There were definitely people who took screenshots and recordings. When Ning Shu checked, she saw that her name was already trending on social media.
The Min family had launched an emergency PR campaign. Since she had mentioned the names Ou Haoxuan and Mu Yeyao, they had likely caught wind of it as well.
The bullying she experienced at school was all too real, and the sibling pair Yi Xiaotong and Yi Xiaodong were infamous at their prestigious academy.
She was a girl who scavenged trash and she also didn’t come from a powerful family.
In a society that judged people by wealth and social status, Yi Xiaotong was clearly at the bottom. Furthermore, she was the bullying target of Ou Haoxuan, Min Haochu, and Mu Yeyao.As for the story of a prince falling in love with Cinderella—that only existed in fairy tales.
In reality, such things rarely happened, and they certainly wouldn’t happen to someone like Yi Xiaotong.
If a girl from such a background—who scavenged trash—were to get involved with someone like Min Haochu, people wouldn’t praise it—they’d just gossip endlessly.
So, there was no beautiful love story here, only the harsh, bone-chilling reality.
Ning Shu noticed that some people were concerned about where she had gone.
Some wondered if she had been caught, while others speculated that something bad had already happened to her.
Meanwhile, Min Haochu had become the center of attention again, and the Min family company was once again trending.
Min Haochu’s domineering attitude had been put on full display during the live stream.
People were now saying that the Min family had no regard for the law. The moment something happened, they tried to find a girl like this to use as a scapegoat.
Even if they wanted to save their company, there was no need to do it like this.
This was going too far.
Ning Shu read these comments and shrugged. She took Yi Xiaodong to a small noodle shop, where they each ordered a bowl of shredded pork noodles.
She also added a fried egg for Yi Xiaodong.
The noodle shop’s TV was playing the news.
“Today, a live video circulated online. The video had no clear visuals, but it featured the voices of a girl and Min Haochu, the son of the Min family conglomerate in Min’an Province.”
“In the live stream, Min Haochu repeatedly pressured the girl to clarify the online rumors about corpse oil in food. The girl fled, and her phone fell in the process. Her current whereabouts are unknown.”
As Ning Shu ate her noodles, she thought they tasted delicious—probably because she hadn’t had anything substantial in her stomach for a while, so everything tasted good.
Yi Xiaodong was also shoveling noodles into his mouth, paying no attention to the TV. Even if he watched, he probably wouldn’t understand it.
Ning Shu’s goal had been precisely to blow this situation up. After all, she had nothing to lose, and she was ready to pit her small, rough piece of gravel against the polished porcelain of the elite.
Of course, her opponents were too powerful so even if she was going to clash with them, she had to choose the right method.
Even Min Haochu wouldn’t have expected that she, usually timid and as quiet as a mouse, would outsmart him like this.
Ning Shu realized she couldn’t stay here any longer. The longer she stayed out of sight, the better. As long as she remained missing, Ou Haoxuan, Min Haochu, and Mu Yeyao would remain in the crosshairs of public scrutiny.
Then, when the time was right, she could reappear.
Most importantly, Ning Shu wanted to ensure Yi Xiaodong was well taken care of. His situation was too delicate to be dragged into public discussion.
Yi Xiaodong’s pure heart was what allowed him to create such beautiful art.
Though life had been harsh to them, his talent for drawing was unmatched.
