Chapter 1139 - I Care

Chapter 1139: I CareTranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the past, the media had discussed the value of art, but after strong protests from fans, it was left unsettled.
This time, the media was clearly smarter. They started with “200 million” and compared it with the photos of the poor people.
On one hand, Xia Wanyuan could earn 200 million a year just by casually writing and painting. She lived in a super manor and lived in luxury, as if she was the favorite of the heavens and had never experienced the sorrow of the mortal world.
On the other hand, the bent old man with cracked hands picked up the plastic bottle in the trash can with one hand and the ten yuan he had earned from selling the bottle with the other.
In the heavy rain, he shrank his sleeves and hid under a tattered umbrella, just to sell the two vegetables in front of him.!!
Beside the bus stop, in order to save a dollar of bus fare, the man waited bitterly for the bus that had actually stopped moving. It was only two hours later that he reluctantly left after being reminded by a passerby.
Poor people and poverty scenes were easier to arouse sympathy.
Seeing these people who could not breathe under the pressure of life for ten or twenty yuan, the netizens’ hearts ached.
[Sigh, the world is panicking. It’s just a few taels of silver, but this few taels of silver breaks the spine of the world. I’m so sad.]

[Hehe, this is China. America’s welfare system is god knows how good. Even tramps have people giving them a fixed allowance every month. Unlike us, the most hardworking people live the most difficult life. People like Xia Wanyuan are already rich enough, but she still has to think of ways to earn everyone’s money. She even has the cheek to sell a lousy painting for a few million yuan. These few million yuan are probably enough for a few thousand families’ living expenses.]
[That’s why saying that a good reincarnation is more important than anything. People like Xia Wanyuan are stars in the sky. We’re just mud on the ground. No matter if Zou Man is putting on an act or not, she will at least do some charity. Xia Wanyuan is so rich, but I’ve never seen her studio post anything related to charity.]
Class had always been the best at separating people.
Originally, the fans liked Xia Wanyuan because she was beautiful and talented.
Now, under the guidance of the media, Xia Wanyuan was completely separated from the ordinary people.
Even if everyone had a good impression of Xia Wanyuan, they could not help but feel hostile. Xia Wanyuan was already so rich. What was the use of liking her when we were living so miserably?
When Chen Yun saw these comments, he was extremely angry. “This person who hates the rich is too much. Is it wrong to be rich?”
Xia Wanyuan looked indifferent.
From her previous life, when she was in power, she knew that the best way to incite the people to rebel was to stimulate people’s sense of disparity and make them rebel and build a fairer society.
After a thousand years, these people still used the same method.
“The netizens were just led by public opinion. There’s still someone standing behind them.”
“Who is it?” Chen Yun did not know much about the aristocratic families in Beijing and was a little curious.
Xia Wanyuan tapped her finger on the paper. Who? It was just those who wanted to touch the Jun family.
Any battle began with public opinion. The breakthrough they had found this time was with her.
The Jun Corporation.
Lin Jing was sorting out the relevant information. “CEO Li, many of the domestic media are closely related to the Lin family. This time, the Lin family is involved in the public opinion.”
As he spoke, Lin Jing also felt that it was strange. The Lin family had always been extremely low-key and neutral. They had never participated in the struggles of the families.
However, the public opinion battle this time involved the matriarch of the Jun family, Xia Wanyuan. Before those media released the news, they must have obtained the approval of the higher-ups before daring to release it.
This meant that the Lin family must have agreed.
Jun Shiling was not surprised at all. “Continue according to our plan.”
The only thing that could defeat public opinion was the iron truth.
“Yes.” Lin Jing put away his things and left the office.
On Jun Shiling’s side, he sent Xia Wanyuan a WeChat message.
“Where?”
Xia Wanyuan replied quickly, “At home. What’s wrong?”
“Wait for me.”
After replying, Jun Shiling stood up, put away his things, and left.
In the manor, Xia Wanyuan was confused. Wasn’t Jun Shiling very busy? Why was he suddenly coming back?
Not long after, Jun Shiling returned to the manor.
“Aren’t you busy today?” Xia Wanyuan had just finished painting and was resting on the sofa, looking lazy.
“I’m not busy anymore. I’ll accompany you.” Jun Shiling sat over and naturally pulled Xia Wanyuan into his arms. “Did you see the news online?”
“Mm.” Xia Wanyuan turned to look at Jun Shiling. “Don’t tell me you came back because of this? The public opinion online won’t affect me much.”
This was only on the Internet. After turning off her phone, what she did not know would not hurt her.
In her previous life, the rumors she had encountered were much more terrifying than these.
As a woman, she pulled her younger siblings and floated in the chaotic world.
In order to earn a few copper coins for the vegetables, she went to a rich family in the middle of the winter to get water and chop wood for them to wash the plates. Her hands were so cold that they were covered in sores, and she had a lot of fatigue.
Just because she was hardworking and willing to work hard, when everyone was almost poor enough to gnaw on grassroots, she could still let her younger siblings eat a piece of meat every month and never let them starve.
In the eyes of others, such a life, coupled with her beauty that far surpassed others, many rumors appeared out of thin air.
They said that she had sold herself and slept with a rich young master. They even said that in order to exchange for some meat, she had seduced Old Li, who sold pork. These words were spread everywhere.
In those few years, when she walked on the streets, rumors filled her ears and countless people poked her spine and scolded her.
Those were all scolding her in front of her. Other than scolding her, the wife of Old Li, who sold pork, listened to other people’s rumors and even burned the New Year clothes she had painstakingly made for her younger siblings when she was not at home.
Those days had passed, and these netizens’ comments could not hurt her.
Jun Shiling knew what she meant, and the love in his eyes intensified. He lowered his head and kissed Xia Wanyuan. “I know.”
He knew that Xia Wanyuan did not care about these rumors.
“But knowing is one thing. Wanting to accompany you is another.”
Whether Xia Wanyuan cared or not, he cared.
Xia Wanyuan smiled.
In her previous life, she had been scolded throughout the streets, from the start till the end of the year.
Because of her special identity, no matter how angry she was, she could only grit her teeth and endure it. In such a situation, it was better to avoid trouble. She could only endure all the grievances.
At that time, she had actually cried many times.
However, when she returned to her younger siblings, she acted as if nothing had happened. As time passed, she got used to it.
