Xie Ming was sitting on her bed and was checking the appointments that she has in the upcoming week. 

” Hmm…there are quite some private consultation appointments. Seems like it’s going to be a busy week.” she pursed her lips and picked up her cup and sipped on her green tea to refresh her mind. 

She glanced at her phone which started ringing suddenly, disturbing the peaceful silence in the room. She looked at the time and it was past 11 at night. ” Who is calling so late?” she wondered and looked at the name on the screen. 

” Su Jin? Why is she calling so late?” 

She picked up the call and as soon as she swiped right, she heard a panicking voice of Su Jin, ” Xie Ming, did you check the SNS?” she heard from the other side. 

Xie Ming raised her brows in confusion, ” No? What happens? Why are you acting as if you lost hundreds of your followers?” she chuckled. 

Su Jin pursed her lips seeing her relaxed manner. ” It’s not about me but you. Do you know that you’re going viral on the internet?” 

” Viral? Me? For what? For being the beautiful-Chinese medicine doctor?” Xie Ming asked jokingly. 

Su Jin shook her head at how shameless she has become. For a few days, she has become boastful and daring. It’s good that she is gaining her confidence but her confident self can make others feel inferior because her skills are truly top-notch. 

” Stop joking. I am serious.”

” Okay fine. Tell me what happened?”

” Your step-sister posted something about you on the internet. And that post is spreading like a wildfire in the forest. I am sending you the link, check it yourself. I can’t believe that you have such a bitchy-sister. How shameless she is!!” Su Jin cursed Xinyi upon remembering her shameless words. 

After hanging up the phone, she clicked on the link that Su Jin had sent her. It opened the post that Xinyi had made an hour ago only. She raised her brows seeing the number of comments, likes, and dislikes on the posts. 

It was going viral not because she posted something but because she has tagged Xie Ming in it as well. The level of shamelessness. After the movie, Xie Ming’s followers have increased incredibly, making her a sensation among the actors who gained big with only a single project. 

Her lips curled in a smirk seeing the sneaky actions of Xinyi. So she was using her followers to spread hate against her? Well, let’s see what she has written. 

She looked at the long-post and started reading it: 

[ You might already know who I am since my name and the photo are spreading on the internet because of someone’s fake confession. I never responded to those fake assumptions in the past but I can’t bear it anymore. Thanks to the fake-wrongful accusations of people towards me, I have been living in misery. I lost my job, my reputation was ruined. My father’s company where I started to help recently is also not doing well because of someone who is pulling strings from behind.

I can accept anything, I didn’t say anything because it was me who was being targeted but not anymore. I won’t let anyone harm my family. That ‘someone came to our house today and threatened us to give our company to her, otherwise, she will not only make us go bankrupt but will also tarnish my and my family’s reputation even more. Maybe she can do that since she is popular and has a powerful person beside her to support her. However, I won’t back down without a fight either. 

You might not believe me since I don’t have any evidence or more as I can’t go as low as to fake any evidence like someone. I just wanted to tell everyone that I am not wrong, I was being wronged all this time and denies all those accusations. If you believe me, I would be glad but If you can’t, please remember one thing, Bullying a weak person will only bring unhappiness to you. People who see innocent and pure, might not be as innocent as they look. Hope you all understand and help me get back on my foot. – Xie Xinyi.]

Xie Ming was speechless upon reading this so-called heartfelt confession of Xinyi. She didn’t mention her name in the post but tagging on her post, she was announcing that the special someone is none other than ‘Her’.

She clicked on the comments to check the reaction and as expected, the people were going crazy. 

{Isn’t she the step-sister of Xie Ming? If I remember correctly, Xie Ming mentioned that someone gave false testimony against her to make her into a bully and someone who harassed another student. I used to think that she was the one who trapped her but is there something more to the story? Her words do look genuine and now I am confused. Who is right or who is not?}

{ I think there is something else that we don’t know about. Xie Ming has too many scandals around her, even though she left the industry, she is surrounded by controversies. I think she has some problems with her attitude. Otherwise, why are there so many people hating her?}

{ Xinyi, You bi*ch!! Stay away from our Empress! How dare you act like a victim?}

{ She is doing all this to gain attention guys. Xie Ming is working as a doctor and is doing well. Of course, she will be jealous and was trying to tarnish her reputation. Don’t give her any attention!}

{ Gu Corporations is indeed not doing well. If she is the wrong one, then I don’t feel guilty to hate her but what if….}

Xie Ming read the people’s distributed opinion about this whole situation. A smirk popped on her lips as she continued to read the comments supporting Xinyi’s claims. 

” Oh Xinyi, you never fail to prove me right about you. You’re as dumb as your mother. I am glad that you acted first, now you have made things easier for me.” she muttered and stretched her hands and yawned lazily. 

She placed the laptop aside and slipped under the blanket to sleep. Now I can sleep in peace. 

–

Xinyi who was reading the comments that were agreeing to her claims or believed that she might be innocent and couldn’t help but smile at the positive response. 

” Xie Ming, you should have stayed quiet. I hate people who try to attack me first, Gu Corporations is mine and will always be mine. Just because your mother made this company, doesn’t mean it’s yours.”

” Now with this, you won’t be able to live your life as a doctor peacefully as well. You will soon regret your decision to threaten me.” she clasped her hands and rubbed the back of her hand with a thumb gently while staring at her laptop screen. 

” The final game has begun!”
