Chapter 125 (2)
Fang JunRong had read all of the arguments online as well. She didn’t care about the accusations from the netizens who were only empty talk. She only chose to stay as far away from those who’d tell us to forgive and forget. She didn’t want to be collateral damage when the thunder struck.
They could say whatever they want, but that would not affect her life a bit.
That being said, she did also read through some of the other popular comments. With the exception of the ones who pitied herself and Deng Lan, there were also a lot who praised what a pretty and kind person that Deng Lan was. That she was just like a fairy who walked straight out of a novel and a pure-hearted prestigious young misses. That had allowed Deng Lan to earn a very positive reputation among the public opinion.
With the exception of Fang JunRong who took the opportunity to advertise her products, Deng Lan was the one who gained the most out of this fiasco.
Fang JunRong had an inkling, and she called and had someone go look into the incident to see if there was someone behind all this.
The outcome of the investigation was in Fang JunRong’s hands in two days’ time.
She had originally thought that it’d be tricky to look into this when, in fact, getting to the truth was much easier than she had anticipated. It was, indeed, the Deng’s who were behind this wave of public opinions. The truth was exposed originally by a water army hired by the Deng’s.
Deng Lan went to a marketing consultancy company to create this wave of public opinions. The point was to stress Deng Lan’s perfect image as a victim. Low and behold, Fang JunRong’s unexpected advertisement took away most of the attention from the netizens.
Deng Lan’s father, being a frugal one, thought it was the failure on the marketing consultancy company’s part and deducted a portion of the agreed upon amount, which led to the company critiquing them behind their backs.
Fang JunRong shook her head. The Deng’s were certainly an eye-opener to her.
She put away the evidence carefully. She might need this dirt one day.

Li WangJin returned home, looking gloomy. He sank his body into the soft couch and half-closed his eyes.
He had just met up with Deng Lan’s father who had accused him and son of being indecent; they had treated Deng Lan like a fool. Deng Lan’s father demanded an explanation. They were even planning to retrieve their investments. Li WangJin, not wanting to have one more enemy, had no choice but to clean up after his son.
As the father and son duo had poor reputations as of late, many of their companies’ products were being boycotted. Their quarterly revenue was already bad. With this new incident, they had lost a lot of money. That made Li WangJin even more upset.
ShiZe was a valedictorian with an acute business sense in the past and was a son that he had always been proud of. Ever since he had met Jiang YaGe, he was spellbound and nothing he did made any sense any more.
Li WangJin couldn’t help but miss the days before the divorce. Those were such happy and relaxing days.
Ever since he had divorced Fang JunRong, the differences in their circumstances had been very polarized. Not only had him lost all of his reputation, the company had also been going steadily downhill. Looking back at Fang JunRong, MeiFeng Corporation was going up and up, and she was getting prettier and more poise. She had become the perfect image in many people’s minds.
He recalled something else and the jealousy almost killed him. He had found out just a few days ago that Fang JunRong had given someone else the Beautify Pills as gifts before their divorce. This formula should have been considered as part of their joint asset, and he should have a stake in it.
Thinking that he had just missed out on such a sizable wealth made his heart hurt so much that he could barely breathe.
His heartache was short-lived. It was interrupted by a call.
