Young Master Fu's Incredible Real Heiress Chapter 1016 - Ending (1)

Yet, countless individuals kept claiming that Shi Jin's conduct was utterly ruthless and devoid of compassion. Had Jing Ya lacked swimming skills and endured just a moment longer, she could have perished.

To sum it up, the online debate raged ferociously.

Such divisive incidents, regardless, posed a greater threat to the fame of public figures.

Onlookers often side with the vulnerable and offer scant leniency to celebrities, leaving Shi Jin open to inevitable criticism.

In a single night, total mayhem exploded.

!!

Fu Xiuyuan's gaze sharpened faintly while he placed a call. “I want all the information on Jing Ya. In two hours.”

“Hubby.”

He whirled around right away, catching sight of Shi Jin rubbing her eyes as she stirred awake.

“Did I wake you?” Fu Xiuyuan strode over promptly. “Sleep some more?”

“Couldn’t sleep. What happened to Jing Ya?”

Nothing major. Fu Xiuyuan shared the full account with her.

“She appears so friendly on the surface, yet she flipped and bought a trending topic against me. Fine then, since I'm set to reveal my pregnancy publicly, I'll seize this chance to drop the news right away.”

Fu Xiuyuan gave a nod. “Let's make the announcement. I refuse to think Jing Ya lacks sway over her manager. With her pulling this stunt, she likely assumes five million means zilch to us. We'll just hand it over to dodge hassle, while she leeches off your fame.”

“If she were truly decent, five million yuan wouldn't faze us. But scheming like this, she deserves not a penny. Tell her to sue outright. We'll cover whatever the court rules,” Shi Jin replied coolly.

Fu Xiuyuan murmured gently, “We're on the same wavelength. I've already set things in motion that way. Dinner first, let's go.”

Post-meal, Shi Jin grabbed her phone, drafted a Weibo post, and hit send.

“I’m sorry to see a work partner fall into the water in front of me. I’m very sympathetic and concerned about the accident that Jing Ya is facing. I hope she can get better soon. At that time, as a normal person, I did have an obligation to save her. However, I’m sorry that I didn’t save her because I was nearly eight months pregnant when it happened. For the sake of the child, I didn’t want anything to happen to me, so I could only call for help and ask the staff for help. I didn’t go into the water myself. I hope everyone can understand the selfish desire of an expectant mother to protect her child. I also hope that Jing Ya can recover from her injuries and be discharged as soon as possible.”

The moment her Weibo went live, prior critics felt instant regret.

Shi Jin had reached eight months of pregnancy back then?

Expecting an eight-month pregnant woman to jump in and rescue someone was outrageous!

Fans, upon hearing the revelation, showered her with well-wishes.

Certain detractors doubted Shi Jin's pregnancy entirely. She'd stayed active on set without anyone noticing, and her body showed no signs.

But Shi Jin swiftly uploaded her pregnancy report along with monthly updates from her pregnancy.

She intended to disclose this to her supporters. Childbirth and recovery would sideline her from new projects for a time, so fans deserved the heads-up.

Unleashing it now hit two targets with one strike.

Fans buzzed with shock and delight, while haters got thoroughly debunked and fell silent.

#Shi Jin Pregnant# shot to the top trends. The earlier hot topic plummeted, failing its goal.

Shi Jin garnered only cheers, dodging any fatal backlash.

Before long, a fresh trend emerged: #Shi Jin’s company’s security risk#. It accused Shi Jin's team of neglecting their collaborator, sparking Jing Ya's mishap. All fault lay with them, and Shi Jin's refusal to pay was a letdown.

Suddenly, fresh waves of backlash surged.

Greater the uproar, more the views, fiercer the attacks.

At the hospital, Jing Ya sipped her soup, head bowed low.

Her manager peeled fruit for her.

A knock sounded at the door, prompting the manager: “Come in. It’s unlocked.”

The door swung open as someone stepped inside. Spotting Fu Xiuyuan and Shi Jin, Jing Ya looked startled and uneasy.

“Jing Ya, we came to see you,” Shi Jin said smilingly. “Feeling better?”
