When Jin Zi Meng arrived at the Zong Family Mansion, Zong Zeyu had just sent out the first payment for public relations to suppress the rumors, but its effect was minimal; it couldn't silence the voices of netizens.
Tong Le witnessed the power of online users and immediately stopped Zong Zeyu. She set up a selfie stick in the hall and placed several bottles of water and snacks on the wooden coffee table. Pulling Jin Zi Meng to sit in front of the camera, she adjusted the angle and then commanded Zong Zeyu, "Buy me some traffic! I want my account to stream while the heat is still on. Use the PR funds meant for the original work to push my stream to the top of the charts."
Zong Zeyu instantly understood Tong Le's intention. "You want to clarify things yourself? Can you handle what the netizens will say?"
Dao Wen expressed concern, "You haven't seen how harshly they are criticizing in the comments. They're making up all sorts of stories, and there are people deliberately stirring up trouble. Any clarifying messages get deleted immediately."
Tong Le didn't want to think about that. She activated the streaming function, and in front of the camera, both her and Jin Zi Meng's faces looked beautiful, especially Jin Zi Meng's eyes, which were still red from crying, attracting quite a bit of organic traffic.
As the stream gained popularity, Tong Le snacked on food to replenish her energy while Zong Zeyu followed her instructions and frantically bought traffic for his wife's account.
Wu Youyou also joined this battle, sending several large rockets into the stream, pushing Tong Le's account to the top.
The number of viewers in the stream skyrocketed from ten to five hundred, then two thousand, and soon reached ten thousand.
Tong Le felt it was time. In the comments section of the stream, netizens had begun to chatter excitedly; she could hardly keep up with what they were discussing as comments scrolled by at lightning speed.
Introducing herself, she linked arms with Jin Zi Meng in a feigned affectionate pose. The best way to dispel rumors was to confront them directly. When Tong Le and Jin Zi Meng sat together hand in hand, that image was enough to shatter all rumors.
Netizens loved a spectacle, and tonight's drama would surely delight them.
Tong Le shared her relationship with Jin Zi Meng and recounted her journey with Zong Zeyu, as well as her past marriage's failures and reflections.
The comments section calmed down compared to before; opinions began to shift as more people started sending gifts to Tong Le and supporting both her and Jin Zi Meng.
Looking at the viewer count again, Tong Le was astonished to see it had surpassed one hundred thousand.
She had never imagined that one day she would have so many listeners. Initially, she had started this stream to clarify Zong Zeyu's rumors, but now it seemed things had gone beyond her expectations and control.
After clarifying the relationship between Zong Zeyu and Jin Zi Meng, Tong Le planned to wrap things up according to her original plan while declaring war against those spreading rumors. However, at that moment, she felt she could say a few more words.
Pulling Jin Zi Meng closer, she solemnly introduced her again: "This is Jin Zi Meng, one of my best friends. She is a natural dancer who is currently working hard on her acting career. She is not a mistress and has never interfered in anyone's relationship; she is just a girl chasing her dreams like me and like all of us. So I hope everyone refrains from ruining someone's future based solely on unverified claims."
Tong Le nudged Jin Zi Meng's arm. "Zi Meng, why don't you talk about your upcoming projects? Promote Cai Dao's work."
Jin Zi Meng felt nervous yet touched; wiping her tears while sniffling, she began promoting her project.
In the comments section, rockets and various gifts kept pouring in. Wu Youyou was sending them, Dao Wen was sending them too, as were Zong Jin and Zong Zeyu. Even Jiang Zhichao, sitting at home, was showing his support.
Wen Cuizhi was anxiously pacing back and forth, pulling Zong Zeyu to teach her how to send gifts. Tong Le noticed her fan count was skyrocketing at an incomprehensible rate; this wave of clarification had indeed worked, and it also served as positive promotion for Zong Shiyan Tuan.
However, the comment section was still filled with petty remarks from bored netizens, claiming that Tong Le was acting like a first wife. After all, she was about to marry into a wealthy family, and having a few mistresses wouldn’t be a big deal; that was just the demeanor of a first wife.
Tong Le immediately fired back without hesitation, "It seems you really enjoy being a first wife. But whether you’ll ever have that chance in this lifetime is another story. As for me, if Zong Zeyu were to cheat or change his heart, the only option would be to part ways. After all, we haven't registered our marriage yet, and I’m not so bored as to need a man or marrying into wealth to prove my worth. My value is something I define for myself; a man is merely an embellishment in my life."
After retorting to the netizen, the gifts on the screen continued to pour in.
In an unexpected twist, half an hour earlier, Jin Zi Meng had been worrying about her acting career. However, after such a commotion, her phone buzzed with numerous filming offers in her group chat, inexplicably raising her market value.
At that moment, Hua Rongxiao, who was watching the broadcast, had already smashed two crystal glasses in succession.
Ke Wenjie was carefully cleaning up the shards of glass on the floor; those two crystal cups were worth over ten thousand each and had been destroyed by Hua Rongxiao.
Hua Rongxiao was going mad, questioning Ke Wenjie, who had remained silent throughout the ordeal. "What does this Tong Le think she is! She ruined all my plans!"
Ke Wenjie felt utterly powerless. "I told you not to underestimate her. The reason I ended up in this situation is precisely because I underestimated her capabilities before."
