Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Xu Chang had already contacted several friends within the industry to make joint donations. Many celebrities were aware of this, and when Xu Chang posted his update, they expressed that they were already aware of the situation. However, no one had used this matter for publicity. Many were reluctant to claim credit for their good deeds, and no one wanted to be the first to step forward.

Once Wen Nian’s situation came to light, many celebrities shared their donation transfer records. Netizens then realized that Wen Nian not only transferred money to Xu Chang, but many other celebrities had also received donations from her.

While only a few people knew about Wen Nian’s donation, many people rallied behind Xu Chang as if they were supporting Wen Nian. Public opinion shifted, and people began to show support for Wen Nian. She even gained a new wave of fans.

“Wen Nian is definitely a model student! Doing charity work without seeking attention, she’s truly admirable!”

“I should make a donation too. Support Wen Nian!”

“She’s so selfless; doing good without leaving a name. What a strong moral compass!”

“Wen Nian is a beautiful and kind fairy. Who would slander her?”

However, some netizens continued to resist.

“Even if this donation is explained, what about another one for a hundred thousand?”

“Wen Nian’s family is skilled at maneuvering, donating money while also building connections. Deceptive!”

“So what if she donated to the left-behind children? Can it cover up the fact that she bribed the Education Bureau?”

“Donating money doesn’t absolve her. I firmly don’t support Wen Nian!”

The debate between supporters and non-supporters continued, but the situation took an unexpected turn after a local TV station’s noon news report.

A report on the afternoon news on Hai City’s official TV station shut some people up completely.

Hai City had been supporting the orphanage since the beginning of the year, especially the newly listed company in Hai City. The founder of Rongchang Group, Zheng He, grew up in the Hai City orphanage. He had been silently donating to the orphanage every year. This year, he had even established a fund to provide scholarships for orphans with outstanding academic results.

Hai City TV Station also conducted an interview with the orphanage today.

“Thanks to Chairman Zheng’s donation in the past few years, the children’s lives are getting better and better. Look, this is our new classroom.”

In the video, a kind middle-aged female teacher said with a smile, “The world is difficult. These orphans have a hard life, but fortunately, there are kind-hearted people. Last year, we even received a donation of 100,000 yuan. It was from that little actress, Wen Nian.”

The teacher took out a yellow notebook and recorded the donations. The smallest amount was more than ten yuan, and the largest amount was tens of thousands of yuan, including the 100,000 yuan that Wen Nian had donated.

The teacher at the orphanage did not say much about Wen Nian’s donation. The news mainly introduced the current situation of the orphanage and called for everyone to pay attention to the orphanage. If it were any other time, no one would have watched the news that lasted for dozens of seconds. However, the netizens still found traces of it in just dozens of seconds.

As expected, after the news broadcast, some netizens discovered that Wen Nian’s previous transfer record of 100,000 yuan had been transferred to the teacher in the news. As there was no orphanage fund previously, even Zheng He’s donation was to this teacher.

It had been a long time since Wen Nian donated. If Wen Nian donated to the children left behind to gain a good impression in the entertainment industry, why did she silently donate to the orphanage? This could only prove that she was really kind.

Tian Juan also made an announcement on behalf of Ding Sheng Media. The company would definitely use legal weapons to protect the rights and interests of the company and artistes. They had already called the police and would sue those who spread rumors.

Wen Nian’s fans, who had remained silent collectively, finally had concrete evidence. They couldn’t endure the baseless accusations against her any longer.

“Wen Nian has done so much good without seeking any rewards. Being maliciously slandered like this, we can’t let it go!”

“We must severely punish the mastermind behind this. If Wen Nian continues to be smeared, good people in the world will be disheartened!”

“Wen Nian donated so much money before graduating. How much have those who criticized her donated?”

“Some people just can’t stand seeing others do well. Why do they have to spread rumors every time? Spreading rumors can lead to legal consequences!”

The overwhelming comments on the internet made Han Ting itch with frustration. She never dreamed that Wen Nian’s money had genuinely been donated selflessly.

Walking back and forth in her bedroom, she contemplated how to avoid being implicated. However, the room’s door suddenly pushed open.

“Smack!” A hard slap landed on her face.

Holding her cheek, Han Ting glared at the person in front of her, “Dad, what are you doing?”
