The recent hot search incidents had stirred up a lot of controversy, causing Yi Tiantian's public image to plummet. Now, even passersby harbored significant hostility towards her.
"Excuse me, are you a staff member of the restaurant?"
Yi Tiantian looked at the woman in front of her and asked calmly.
"I... I'm not!"
The woman's arrogance dimmed slightly, but she still stood firm, blocking Yi Tiantian's path.
"Since you're not, then you don't have the right to do this, do you?"
Yi Tiantian ignored her obstruction and tried to walk inside, only to be blocked again by the persistent woman.
"You, an immoral artist, should get out of the entertainment industry! You don't deserve to eat in this restaurant!"
The woman's voice was shrill, drawing the attention of many customers in the restaurant.
"Yi Tiantian? The artist who got caught?"
"Yes! How disgusting. I can't believe she still has the nerve to show her face in public!"
"If it were me, I would have quit and gone back to farming! Hahaha!"
Mockery and gossip spread, and the woman seemed to draw strength from it, straightening her back proudly.
Yi Tiantian knew that no matter how she explained herself, no one would listen. So, she decided to call Jiang Na to inform her of the situation.
Before she could make the call, Yi Tiantian noticed the woman's eyes widen suddenly, and the numerous customers behind her gasped in surprise.
"What's happening?"
Fei Cheng's magnetic voice sounded in Yi Tiantian's ear.
"Actor Fei Cheng!!!"
The woman immediately screamed, excitedly reaching out for a handshake, but Fei Cheng did not respond, leaving her to retract her hand reluctantly.
"Actor Fei Cheng, please judge for yourself. Shouldn't an immoral artist like Yi Tiantian not be allowed in such a high-end restaurant? She doesn't deserve it!"
The woman loudly accused.
And she believed that the upright Actor Fei Cheng would not let someone like Yi Tiantian off easily!
"Do you think you deserve to be here?"
Before Fei Cheng could speak, Yi Tiantian spoke earnestly.
"You accuse me of being an immoral artist without any evidence. With your low cognitive ability, do you deserve to eat here?"
The woman had assumed Yi Tiantian was a timid pushover since she hadn't spoken earlier, but now found herself silenced by Yi Tiantian's words.
"I'm late, what happened?"
Jiang Na walked in at that moment, seeing Yi Tiantian and Fei Cheng standing in front of a woman.
"Editor-in-Chief Jiang, it's an honor to meet you!"
The woman bowed respectfully, trying to curry favor.
Jiang Na nodded, looking puzzled at the two beside her. "Why didn't you two go in first? I reserved the best suite in the restaurant for us."
Upon hearing that Jiang Na had invited Yi Tiantian and Fei Cheng for dinner, the woman began to panic.
Why is everyone helping that scoundrel Yi Tiantian?
"B-but isn't she involved in prostitution?"
Under the gaze of the crowd, the woman asked hesitantly.
"That's a rumor!"
Before Yi Tiantian could speak, Jiang Na said sternly.
The woman's face turned pale, feeling humiliated and wanting to hide.
"I will issue a clarification today. If you continue spreading these rumors, even if Yi Tiantian doesn't pursue legal action, I will!"
Jiang Na spoke firmly.
"S-sorry."
The woman, embarrassed, prepared to slip away under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
But just as she took a few steps, a waiter called her back loudly.
"Madam, you haven't paid yet!"
So, the woman awkwardly went back to pay under the watchful eyes of everyone.
"Tiantian, I'm sorry. I know you didn't publicly clarify things to consider my feelings. I'll compensate you for all the damage to your reputation over these past few days."
Once inside the private room, Jiang Na sincerely apologized to Yi Tiantian with a bow.
Yi Tiantian quickly helped Jiang Na up and smiled. "How is the investigation going?"
"The two of them have been convicted and will receive nothing!"
Jiang Na let out a cold snort.
Now Shen Fengxiao and Can Can have received the punishment they deserve!
"Three years later, Jiang Na resigned from the company and became the editor-in-chief of the famous foreign entertainment magazine 'Legendary.' During a weekend road trip, she met a young Italian man and soon got married happily!"
"This time, there's no melodrama; Jiang Na can live the rest of her life in peace!"
"As for Shen Fengxiao and Can Can, they ended up committing illegal acts in poverty. Shen Fengxiao never managed to hook up with a rich woman, and Can Can never gained his family's recognition! In the end, they were caught and spent the rest of their lives in prison!"
"What a heartwarming ending!"
After hearing this, Jiang Na smiled happily and immediately said, "This morning, I recorded an interview that will showcase this experience to everyone. It's already been posted on the official Weibo account of 'X.'"
Jiang Na found the official Weibo account of 'X' on her phone and showed the published video to Yi Tiantian and Fei Cheng.
The online spectators never expected that Yi Tiantian's situation would take such a sudden turn.
'X': Our editor-in-chief, Jiang Na, has something to say about friendship and love. Also: A big thank you to Mr. Yi Tiantian!
In the video, Jiang Na told netizens about being schemed against by Shen Fengxiao and Can Can. At the end, she sincerely apologized to Yi Tiantian for involving him in the mess.
Not only did Jiang Na clarify in the video that Yi Tiantian went to the police station to help her, but she also sued all the accounts that had spread rumors about Yi Tiantian.
Netizens quickly discovered that those few entertainment accounts that had stirred up the drama had deleted their posts and were now labeled as "banned accounts."
There were even informed netizens who posted on Weibo that they had encountered Yi Tiantian, Fei Cheng, and Jiang Na at a restaurant, sharing blurry photos of the three.
At this point, most of the spectators realized that Yi Tiantian was innocent. However, the rival fans still refused to let Yi Tiantian off, causing chaos under the informed netizen's post.
Lili Lili: Isn't it just a photo? What kind of evidence is that? This must be Yi Tiantian's company trying to whitewash him! Having the editor-in-chief of 'X' personally step in, Yi Tiantian, your background is impressive!
Sunny Day No Rain: Who would publicly reveal such a tragic incident just to clear someone unrelated? Can you use your brain before speaking?
Truth Revealed: Unless there's more evidence, I don't believe Yi Tiantian could go through such bizarre events! This must be fabricated by his company!
Acrobat: Exactly! What did our idol Fei Cheng do to you? Why drag him into this every time? Please stop riding his coattails!
Many of Fei Cheng's fans joined the fray, causing Yi Tiantian's reputation to plummet once again online.
The hired trolls stirred up the drama, and the fanatics followed suit, unaware that Fei Cheng himself had posted a group photo of them dining together that day.
Great River Flows to Sea: Fanatics, try jumping again! They have such good personal relationships; why do you insist on ruining their friendship? You really can't stand seeing Fei Cheng doing well!
Chirp Chirp Chirp: Looks like the online clarification is true!
No Tomorrow: Of course it's true, sister. The official announcement has been released. Go check it out! I've never seen such despicable people! Yi Tiantian's image as the judge of the entertainment industry remains unshakable!
Agreed Not to Meet: Holy crap, I saw it too! Everyone, go check it out!
The official announcement revealed the truth of the case, and Yi Tiantian's comment section became incredibly lively.
The spectators deeply reflected on how they had been misled by the hired trolls and expressed their apologies, successfully bringing the hashtag #YiTiantianEntertainmentJudge# to the top trending list.
Little Mushroom Round and Round: I declare, Yi Tiantian, you are my god!! Luckily, I believed in you from the start!!

Dinosaur Anti-Blue Light: The magazine looks great! This is a huge win for the sincere couple!
The magazine cover featuring Yi Tiantian and Fei Cheng sparked another wave of excitement among fans in the "sincere" super topic. For several nights, Fei Cheng stayed up late browsing the super topic under a small account and shyly liked all the comments praising their chemistry!
Since Yi Tiantian's debut, his popularity had been rising steadily. After this incident, Jiang Na directly featured Yi Tiantian and Fei Cheng as the main subjects in the magazine for three consecutive issues and made significant concessions in the contract.
Originally, Yi Tiantian could only get 30% of the profits, but now he could receive 70%!
Brother Cheng had been swamped with invitations from various programs because there were so many requests for Yi Tiantian!
Yi Tiantian was like a walking traffic pool, attracting attention wherever he went!
So, various program teams desperately wanted to invite this lucky star onto their shows.
However, since Yi Tiantian would be filming the second episode of "Special Forces Action!" in a week, Brother Cheng arranged for him to participate in a smaller prank show called "My Love Interest Is You!"
Brother Cheng: "My Love Interest Is You!" invited us to film an episode. Tiantian, what do you think?
Upon receiving Brother Cheng's inquiry, Yi Tiantian's eyes immediately lit up.
"Famous singer Xi Lian actually poisoned her first love on the show!"
"Because her first love became her father's lover!"
How explosive!
He couldn't wait to go and watch the drama unfold!
YiTiantian: Wow!
what happened to him being in an idol group? was that ever explained?
..how explosive indeed… Maybe a bit too explosive 😭
