Chapter 229: Chapter 227: Conspiracy Theory

The little girl’s face bore a too-obvious expression seeking praise. Fu Jinghen smiled, "Not bad."

Wen Qiao muttered softly, "It feels like a teacher grading homework..."

"....."

The buzz around Jiang Wei hadn’t completely died down yet. On Weibo, some marketing accounts were still sharing their opinions on the matter.

Although Wen Qiao didn’t like Jiang Wei, she disliked the way these marketing accounts leeched off hot topics even more.

Not to mention, one of these accounts had posted something related to her—

@EntertainmentVanguard: Heard from a friend that Jiang Wei had been vying for an endorsement from a major international brand, but it ended up going to a recently trending actress instead, creating a clash over resources. In the end, it was Jiang Wei who came off worse. This shows just how deep the other actress’s connections are. Hint: both actresses were in the same drama series.

From one perspective, the marketing account was not wrong, and it cleverly latched onto the popularity of both Wen Qiao and Jiang Wei, adding to that a hint of conspiracy which made it even more sensational.

Before long, the names of Jiang Wei and Wen Qiao topped the trending search together.

"Wen Qiao: You might as well have named me directly."

"The blogger really went out of their way with this roundabout post."

"The blogger talking about how deep the actress’s connections are yet daring to post this, I’m truly impressed by their audacity."

"Tsk tsk tsk, the blogger seems a bit jealous. Let me remind them that one with nothing to hide doesn’t fear their shadow falling aslant. If Jiang Wei is entirely innocent, why would someone throw this dirty water on her even if the actress has deep connections?"

"The person above, please drop the anonymity and speak up on your main account."

"I’ve been wanting to say this, Wen Qiao’s reputation was so foul before, how did she suddenly become the Female Lead of ’Red Makeup’? If you say there’s nothing behind it, I’m the first not to believe it."

"......."

Comments like these were in abundance; though the words didn’t anger Wen Qiao, they certainly stirred ripples in her heart.

Quite bothersome.

But in the entertainment industry, a place rife with controversy and debate, finding a sanctuary was almost impossible, and as a public figure, taking criticism—both good and bad—was unavoidable.

Wen Qiao sighed and said, "If Jiang Wei were a bit less ambitious, I think she—"

She cut herself off, closing her mouth midway.

Whether it was being the Female Lead of ’Red Makeup’, endorsing ES, or even having Fu Jinghen sitting beside her now, even without weaving Jiang Wei into the narrative as the antagonist, these were all things Wen Qiao had secured for herself.

Now, anything she said wouldn’t sound authentic, even to herself; it felt like playing the victim after having won everything, like a white lotus trying to garner sympathy.

Fu Jinghen saw through Wen Qiao’s turmoil instantly and patted her head, saying, "Don’t overthink it, it has nothing to do with you; she brought it upon herself."

Remembering the day Jiang Wei recklessly drove her car towards Wen Qiao, a coldness flashed across Fu Jinghen’s eyes.

Wen Qiao, staring at her phone, missed the change in Fu Jinghen’s expression. Yet, hearing his assertive words cheered her up. She sighed again and gently bumped her head against Fu Jinghen’s shoulder, showing her appreciation for what he’d just said.

After a while, she raised her head again, "Why would Jiang Wei even like you?"

"I don’t know."
