I Made My Fortune In A Dating Variety Show

Chapter 25: Feeling Refreshed And Starting A New Chapter

Nian Wenran couldn't help but have a coquettish tone when talking about what happened last night, and said to Lin An aggrievedly, "Last night, many people were scolding you. I tried to explain, but they said I was your hired internet navy, and they even scolded me."

Lin An couldn't help but rub Nian Wenran's head as he looked at her. Initially, when he heard that Nian Wenran was mistaken for an internet navy, Lin An found it somewhat amusing. However, when he heard that she was being scolded, his brows furrowed.

"How did they scold you?"

Nian Wenran took out her phone to show Lin An, and the words were quite harsh, including insults like brainless fans, money-grabbers, and various distortions of facts. Lin An casually scrolled through a couple of messages, and his mood turned somewhat sour.

Being cursed himself didn't bother Lin An much. Although he doesn't know much about celebrities, he also knows that there would be both praise and scoldings under the spotlight. But watching Nian Wenran being cursed made him both angry and distressed.

"Stop responding to them. Trying to reason with people online is futile," Lin An closed Nian Wenran's phone, "Besides, no matter what kind of person I am, people won't believe their explanations."

Nian Wenran felt a bit sad, "I know, but when they said those things about you, I felt angry and upset."

"Their mouths are on them; we can't control that. Let them be," Lin An gently pinched Nian Wenran's puffy face, "Believe me, I will handle it. Now, be a good girl, go eat, and after that, take a nap for half an hour. Okay? My little internet sailor."

Nian Wenran blushed at Lin An's "my little internet sailor" and nodded drowsily in agreement, and sat down at the dining table to eat.

As soon as Lin An opened his phone, he saw a message from Sister Li half an hour ago. Lin An had left his phone charging in the room this morning and had used a payment code he set up in his spare time. He had just come to the room after talking to Nian Wenran.

After chatting with Sister Li, Lin An learned about the events that had unfolded overnight.

The current focus of public opinion was mainly on the video of Lin An hitting someone. Other pieces of dirty information were easily clarified. However, Lin An remembered that in the novel, the original owner's dark history was briefly mentioned and not detailed to this extent. The novel did mention that some people always disliked Lin An.

Having inherited the memories of the original owner, Lin An knew that he didn't intentionally hit someone, and it was the other person who started the physical altercation. Based on some clues in the novel, Lin An, with his quasi-omniscient perspective, had a rough idea of who was behind this.

However, the urgent matter was finding solid evidence to prove his innocence.

The company did put up the court document showing Lin An's victory in the lawsuit against the blogger who posted the video.

However, it didn't have much effect because the video was shot without permission and was incomplete, so the court didn't use it.

The critics kept holding onto this point, insisting that Lin An hired a powerful lawyer to manipulate the evidence and turn the video into illegal proof to exonerate himself. They also argued that Lin An admitted to hitting someone, and the blogger only acknowledged it due to pressure. According to them, Lin An was in the wrong.

Moreover, a big celebrity suing for defamation is definitely a surefire way to win. Ordinary people have no power to contend with big stars. To exaggerate a bit, if you don't speak up when you get beaten, you'll be ignored; if you speak up too much, you might even be taken to court. There are countless comments expressing pity and similar sentiments.
