Chapter 91: Let Trash Stay in the Trash Heap Forever

As soon as the words were spoken, she immediately tried to grab the phone.

After all, this was her boyfriend—more precisely, a boyfriend who might very well be emotionally cheating on her! She not only wanted to take his phone but also wanted to punish him fiercely!

But the next second, she saw the screen of Gu Chuan’s phone. It showed a little girl wearing a pink princess dress, smiling sweetly, and making a peace sign towards the camera.

This… this was her!

Gu Chuan chuckled softly, “Isn’t she the cutest?”

The anger in Jiang Mi’s heart was instantly wrapped in sweetness.

Under the sunlight, her peach blossom eyes shimmered, and the little black mole at the corner of her eye sparkled, making her look as enchanting as a peach blossom fairy.

She raised an eyebrow, her voice soft and sweet.

“Not only the cutest, but also the prettiest. You’ve got good taste.”

“Yeah, I’m the lucky one here.”

His deep, low laughter made her ears tingle, almost as if she were about to get pregnant from just listening to it.

Jiang Mi resisted the urge to rub her ears, casually pressing the phone against his chest, her expression playful and proud. “Good that you know.”

Cheng Lin, who was watching, exclaimed, “You two really don’t treat me as an outsider. Hurry up, get on the yacht, let the cold sea breeze cool my lonely single heart.”

As Cheng Lin spoke, he ran towards the yacht. At this time, Bai Ruoruo, Shen Mingxuan, Ji Tong, and Yang Yang also approached.

Ji Tong was still wearing yesterday’s clothes.

But the once glamorous, proud top celebrity was now long gone.

Now, Ji Tong’s hair was a mess, his face full of despair, looking like a homeless man.

Seeing Gu Chuan and Jiang Mi, his cloudy eyes suddenly brightened as he rushed over to them.

“Mr. Gu, I know I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. Please, please give me a chance, give me a way out.”

Gu Chuan’s gaze was cold as ice. “The person you should be apologizing to isn’t me.”

Ji Tong felt a chill in his heart when he met Gu Chuan’s cold eyes, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw Bai Ruoruo discreetly nodding at him.

Clenching his fists, Ji Tong closed his eyes tightly, as if he had made some huge decision.

The humiliation he suffered today—he would repay it a thousand times over!

He gritted his teeth and knelt down.

“I really know I was wrong. I’ll even kowtow to you. I won’t dare to do it again. I swear, wherever you two are, I’ll avoid it. Please, just let me go.”

The two of them stopped in their tracks.

Everyone’s attention was now focused on him, and indeed, some gazes even showed a hint of sympathy.

Hope sparked within Ji Tong. Ruoruo was right.

People naturally sympathize with the weak.

As long as he shifts all the blame onto Gu Chuan, making others believe that it was Gu Chuan using his power to oppress him, which forced him to say and do those things, people would pity him, sympathize with him, and his fans would definitely forgive him!

Jiang Mi glanced at Bai Ruoruo and smiled coldly.

“You’re indeed a good disciple of Bai Ruoruo, using her talent for distorting the truth and playing the victim. But you never offended Gu Chuan. What you offended were your own fans.”

“Even when Gu Chuan knew you were playing dirty tricks behind the scenes, he didn’t use any of his power against you. It was you who, relying on your popularity…”

Ji Tong froze, unwilling to accept this. He would rather have offended a powerful capitalist and been forced into obscurity than have wronged those he considered beneath him.

Jiang Mi saw through Ji Tong’s thoughts, her gaze growing more mocking.

“Do you think you gained your popularity and status after debuting on a talent show because of your skills in singing and dancing? No, it was all because of those fans.”

“They stayed up day and night voting for you, doing data work for you. It was their support that gave you the popularity and the status you have in the industry.”

Ji Tong’s eyes turned red, his expression a little crazed. “But they chose to like me on their own! I didn’t force them to. Yes, they spent their money on me willingly. Why should I have to repay them?”

“Gu Chuan, Jiang Mi, I’ve already apologized to you! What more do you want? Isn’t it enough that you’ve ruined me? Are you trying to push me to my death?”

Jiang Mi’s gaze was indifferent. “You’re unprofessional, ungrateful, and disrespectful to your fans. The one who truly drove you to this point isn’t Gu Chuan, isn’t me, and isn’t anyone else—it’s you!”

Each word struck with precision and finality.

Those who had initially felt sympathy for Ji Tong, believing he was pitiful, suddenly realized the truth. Yes, Ji Tong’s downfall was entirely his own doing.

He had built his popularity by deceiving young fans with his looks alone, lacking the acting or singing skills that older, more experienced actors relied on. Yet, he had the audacity to say that having fans didn’t matter. But even those with real talent, who didn’t solely rely on fans for success, still respected and appreciated the fans who supported them!

Unlike Ji Tong, who depended entirely on his fans but never treated them as real people. He was like someone who ate from the bowl but cursed the cook as soon as he was done. What a hypocrite!

At this point, Bai Ruoruo couldn’t help but think Ji Tong was useless, silenced by just a few words from Jiang Mi. However, she subtly put away her phone, feeling a bit uneasy. With the video she recorded, she could still edit it to blur the truth and shift the blame.

After all, Ji Tong’s fanbase was large. If he managed to make a comeback, it would be a big help to her, and she could use the opportunity to tarnish Jiang Mi’s reputation. Two birds with one stone.

Just as she was feeling smug about this, Jiang Mi suddenly called her name.

A bad premonition washed over her.

Sure enough, in the next second, Jiang Mi said, “Bai Ruoruo, are you recording this? Planning to edit the video to make it look like we’re bullying Ji Tong?”

Bai Ruoruo’s expression remained unchanged, though she feigned being wronged. “How could I do something like that?”

Jiang Mi, seeing this act, tilted her chin toward Ji Tong. “Take a good look at how Bai Ruoruo plays the victim. She’s the master at this. Your performance earlier was way too fake.”

Ji Tong looked at Bai Ruoruo, his expression dull and stunned.

Bai Ruoruo’s composure cracked.

Jiang Mi clapped her hands and continued, “Oh, by the way, that secret recording you’re doing? It’s useless. We’re live streaming.”

Lu Yu cheerfully waved her phone. “Hello~”

Ji Tong and Bai Ruoruo’s faces instantly turned ashen!

How could this be?

Jiang Mi’s gaze rested on Bai Ruoruo, filled with indifference, mockery, and disdain.

She had noticed everything from the moment Bai Ruoruo moved her fingers.

Lu Yu, perfectly in sync, had immediately started a live stream.

【I was about to jump in and curse Jiang Mi, thinking that if it weren’t for her, Ji Tong wouldn’t have ended up like this. But now, haha, Ji Tong, you’ve dug your own grave. You don’t deserve any sympathy!】

【I used to be a hater of Jiang Mi, but what she said just now changed my mind. She’s a decent person.】

【Even though she comes from a wealthy family, she’s not arrogant. She’s polite and grateful.】

【Mimi has such solid values. Even when she’s harsh, it’s out in the open. Even her bad side is in the sunlight, unlike those who pretend to be good but do all kinds of shady things behind the scenes. Yes, I’m talking about Bai Ruoruo!】

【And then there’s Ji Tong, who came from poverty but got lucky in a talent show. Suddenly, he thought he was better than everyone else and stopped caring about his fans.】

【A celebrity who relies entirely on fan support is nothing without fans. No one will be foolish enough to invest in him again. Ji Tong is done for.】

【That piece of trash Ji Tong should stay in the trash heap forever. Don’t come out and disgust us again.】
