Chapter 25

The hot searches online continue to grow.

Fang Tang has a bad temper. After hearing about Shen Mingyou being on the black hot search, she read the comments and got so angry she posted on Weibo.

@Fang Tang:[ Can’t you see it’s malicious editing?]

[Hey, Fang Tang spoke up. Is she saying the video was edited maliciously?]

[How could it be malicious editing? The video is so clear. Jiang Niannian fed mangoes to Zi Ai, causing an allergic reaction.]

[Thanks to Fang Tang for defending Sister Youzi. I knew she wasn’t that kind of person!]

[Fang Tang, are you challenging the TV station? You’re brave to accuse them of malicious editing!]

Fang Tang’s Weibo post quickly became popular. Some rational netizens calmed down after seeing “malicious editing.” Many artists have been harmed by this before.

[One comment gained the most votes: If it was malicious editing, then what’s the truth?]

[Fang Tang replied: It is indeed malicious editing. As for the truth, let the involved parties clarify. I won’t interfere.”]

Fang Tang’s statement confused people, and they wanted to know the truth.

The original unedited video seemed to be the most direct way to get the truth. 

Netizens pressured the TV station and program team:

[Is ‘Super Mom’ still silent? Release the original video and clear Sister Youzi’s name.]

[I hate malicious editors. You turned a heartwarming show into a mess. Are you satisfied?]

[Releasing the original video would help everyone see how upset our Aifei was about Shen Mingyou!]

At Orange TV, the station director and important leaders met with the “Super Mom” program team. Feng Jingze stood there, sweating, like a criminal.

“Director, Shen Mingyou still isn’t answering her phone,” said a staff member.

The director nodded and asked, “Have you contacted her agency?”

“I tried, but couldn’t get through.”

The director sighed. If Orange TV did nothing and let the matter continue, explaining it to Shen Mingyou would be difficult.

“Send out the clarification.”

“Yes, Master.”

“Director, who exactly is Shen Mingyou?” Feng Jingze asked nervously. “What’s her connection to Lingyu Capital? And why are Sanyan Technology and Lin Group supporting her so much?”

The director glared at Feng Jingze and then shook his head. “I don’t know the specifics, but these companies have stated that if Shen Mingyou faces any injustice again, they won’t let it go!”

The director guessed that the boss of Lingyu Capital is likely surnamed Jiang, and Shen Mingyou’s daughter is also surnamed Jiang. Shen Mingyou is probably the boss’s wife of Lingyu Capital.

Feng Jingze was indeed in a tough spot. If this wasn’t handled properly, the station could face huge losses.

“Director, you have to help me. This mess was caused by the traitor who stole the video. If I catch him, he’ll pay the price,” Feng Jingze said fiercely.

The director shook off Feng Jingze’s hand, his eyes dark. He wouldn’t protect Feng Jingze.

Soon, the TV station and program team finally spoke out:

@”Super Mom” program team: [We sincerely apologize to Ms. Shen Mingyou @Actor Shen Mingyou. The video was maliciously edited by the program crew to create hype. They reversed events and spliced dialogues and images to mislead netizens. In reality, Gu Aifei did not inform the program crew and others about her daughter’s mango allergy, leading to the allergic reaction. 

Shen Mingyou did not force Gu Aifei to apologize. Gu Aifei apologized because she realized she was too anxious and had a bad attitude toward Jiang Niannian.]

The mothers and children have always gotten along well on the show. Even if there were some small misunderstandings, once they were cleared up, everyone remained friendly and harmonious.

The fault lies entirely with the program team. Orange TV expresses its deepest apologies and regrets for the damage to Ms. Shen Mingyou’s reputation caused by malicious editing. We have reflected deeply and will accept everyone’s supervision in future work to spread positive content to the audience.

Less than a minute after the program team issued the clarification statement, Zhong Yao forwarded it.

@ Zhong Yao : [This is the truth. I hope the production team can make amends and start anew. @Shen Mingyou]

Netizens, upon hearing the program team’s statement, reacted:

[The production team admitted they edited the program maliciously. Shen Mingyou is the victim, so can those who cursed her apologize?]

[This is the first time I’ve seen a TV station admit its mistakes and apologize so sincerely. It’s great to have a backer!]

[Why do I feel like the statement is pointing the finger at Gu Aifei? After reading it, Shen Mingyou seems innocent, while Gu Aifei is blamed.]

[They say Gu Aifei has a bad attitude towards Jiang Niannian. Gu Aifei has been so humble; how can she be nicer?]

[The production team allowed the video to be played but issued a written statement. What are they afraid of, or are they trying to cover something up? Are they worried the original video will contradict the so-called ‘maliciously edited video’?]

[This statement seems to praise one and criticize the other. Everyone is supporting Shen Mingyou, which feels strange. If they really want to clear suspicion, they should release the video. Without it, this statement is useless.]
