Yan Ruo didn’t really hit her. She was just fooling around with Jin Yuhua. Although she found her a bit overly dramatic and even reported it to her father, she understood that Jin Yuhua was doing it for her own good.

“I’ll settle the score with you later.”

Yan Ruo snorted and said in a low voice.

Jin Yuhua said, “After our nationwide comic exhibition tour is over, I’ll accept whatever you want to settle the score with me.”

In the next few days.

Yan Ruodu listened to Jin Yuhua’s arrangements and accepted interviews from various major media outlets. She also actively promoted her manga in A-City and even went to Qing University, where Jiang Yining was studying, for a manga signing event.

In an instant, Yan Ruo’s popularity soared rose, and her fans also became active.

In addition, the investor behind Yan Ruo had sent people to fake reviewers to stir up trouble in order to gain popularity. This had drawn the hatred between Yan Ruo and Jiang Yining.

This led Yan Ruo’s fans to collectively claim that Jiang Yining’s popularity was built solely on money. Whether it was Su Manman’s reposting, giving readers large red envelopes, or high-priced reader rewards, they believed it was all Jiang Yining’s tactics.

In reality, she had no real talent, just hype.

Unlike Yan Ruo, who had returned from studying abroad and had profound knowledge and self-restraint. Iler works were also rich in content.

There was no comparison between the two!

Jiang Yining wasn’t even worthy of passing the pen to Yan Ruo!

They even pleaded with the Ning family’s fans not to ride on the popularity of their big shot and siphon attention!

Some of Yan Ruo’s diehard fans even gathered together and went to Jiang Yining’s Weibo to slander her.

[Ningxin has a sugar daddy, right? I see her in the trending headlines on Weibo every day.]

[Why is a manga author so good at adding scenes for herself? Is she reincarnated from a drama queen!]

[If you’re in love with trending searches, why don’t you go into the entertainment industry?]

[Shameless Ningxin, freeloading on our Yan Ruo’s popularity! Why don’t you take a look at yourself? You don’t dare to show your face because you’re ugly! Only your disheveled old sugar daddy would like you!]

[Ningxin, come out and get beaten up! Apologize to our little cutie Yan Ruo!]

[Ningxin fans, if you dare to compare our Author Yan Ruo to third-rate trash like you again, I wish your entire family to die!]

The comments section of Weibo was filled with harsh words. Jiang Yining saw it, but she wasn’t particularly upset.

The bigger the tree, the more wind it catches.

Since she had become famous so quickly, she would naturally attract the jealousy of the haters.

When she decided to draw the manga, she had already anticipated all of this.

Besides, these trolls only knew how to make a fuss on the Internet. If they actually met her, they probably wouldn’t be able to say anything impactful.

Jiang Yining curled the corners of her lips. She felt that the comment about her ugly appearance and the old sugar daddy was quite amusing.

She copied and pasted it separately to show Lu Zhi.

“Honey, look, people say that you’re the old sugar daddy. You haven’t spent a penny on me, and yet you’re being scolded so harshly. It’s really pitiful.”

“You finally couldn’t take it anymore. You’re willing to let me spend money on you?” Lu Zhi asked calmly.

Ever since he found out that she had started drawing comics.

He had been waiting, wanting to give her a boost.

It was this girl who was so independent that he had no room to display his abilities.

Lu Zhi felt helpless.

Jiang Yining shook her head. “No, I just sympathize with you. You’re not allowed to interfere in my matters. I have my ways.”

Lu Zhi was speechless.

His precious girl was too independent, which was a bit melancholic.

But in the end, he still respected her decision.

“Alright, I won’t interfere. If you need anything, remember to let me know. I’m always here.”

“Okay.”

Jiang Yining nodded.

Over the weekends.

Jiang Yining stayed at home, focusing on drawing. She didn’t check any Weibo comments.

On Monday morning, she updated 4.0 frames in one go.

Then, she took some time to look at the comments section.

Hmm?

There seemed to be a lot less haters.

Could it be that Lu Zhi hired someone to help her clear the comments section?

Probably not.

She had already informed him in advance.

Jiang Yining thought for a while and decided to give up guessing. Why not just ask Lu Zhi directly later?

She stretched and went to freshen up.

After changing, Jiang Yining walked to the living room and Lu Zhi came down.

Jiang Yining asked him when they were having breakfast together.

Lu Zhi denied it calmly.

Jiang Yining’s eyebrows twitched slightly. “Then maybe the website couldn’t bear seeing me being criticized and took the initiative to clean it up.”

Lu Zhi let out an imperceptible sigh.

He also wanted to step in and get rid of those who dared to scold her….
