He Hui shook her head, "The na of the illness is so long, I only rember sothing about the liver, sothing liver and lung or whatnot. The doctor said it’s not serious, but it requires a lot of money for treatnt.

I really have no money. My family is also out of money. We even sold our house to pay for my treatnt, and only then did I borrow money from He Jinxia when I was desperate."

Reporter, "I saw the video where He Jinxia said you didn’t repay the money?"

He Hui choked up, "That’s not fair; I never said I wouldn’t pay back the money. It’s just that I had only borrowed it for a few months when her family started pressing to repay. I really had no money to pay back. I wanted to, but my body..."

As she spoke, He Hui hamred her chest with her hand, looking grief-stricken. So of the onlookers who watched the video were even moved to tears.

Luo You was also watching this video. He had watched it as soon as it ca out and chuckled, comnting, "First-class acting. It’s a waste not to be an actor."

The video continued.

Reporter, "How much money did you borrow from her family?"

He Hui, "Seventy-eighty thousand maybe?"

Reporter, "In the video, they said they lent you over a hundred thousand."

He Hui, "No, definitely not that much!"

Reporter, "You called them bastards, ingrates, and adulterers. Are they really like that?"

He Hui, "No, I didn’t an to insult them like that; I was just too agitated. They wouldn’t give the money, and without it, I couldn’t survive. I spoke without thinking."

The video ended there.

Not only did fans leave comnts in disbelief over the turn of events, but marketing accounts also got hold of the latest update and found new headlines to post:

[Shocking, the actual reason a relative asked for money was a matter of life and death!]

[The most heartless female star in history, her relative needed her money for lifesaving treatnt, yet she cruelly refused!]

[Everyone misunderstood her, it turns out she needed the money to save her life!]

...

The marketing accounts deployed perfect imagination; He Hui simply said she needed the money for lifesaving reasons, and they twisted it into a scenario of life or death without money.

He Hui said the illness wasn’t serious, but the marketing accounts exaggerated it into a severe, life-threatening disease.

Before seeing He Hui’s tearful video, most netizens were rational and sided with He Jinxia, thinking she shouldn’t have lent the money. Why should she lend money just to be insulted in such a vile manner?

But once the video of He Hui claiming, "If you don’t lend the money, I will die" spread, the public opinion imdiately shifted.

"She just wants to live. Since you are capable of helping her, why not help? Suddenly I feel Fat Emperor is so cold-hearted..."

"This... I feel like there’s more to this story. Fat Emperor hasn’t responded yet, it may not be as He Hui said. Let’s wait for Fat Emperor’s response."

"If she were borrowing money just because her family was short on cash, I would think it wouldn’t really matter whether she lent it or not. After all, it’s just a few tens of thousands, maybe a hundred thousand; He Jinxia could afford that much. The real fear is others getting addicted to borrowing."

"At first, it was just borrowing a few tens of thousands, but then it escalated to hundreds of thousands or even millions. What will you do then?

Not lending to her could make you accused of disrespecting your elders, but borrowing money for an ergency and borrowing money for an illness are different. If He Hui really had no money and could only borrow from He Jinxia, then it would be wrong of He Jinxia to act like that."

"Haha, your comnts are really laughable. Even I, who am not a fan of He Jinxia, think that He Jinxia wouldn’t make such a basic mistake. If it really were for dical expenses, as long as it’s not astronomically high, He Jinxia would absolutely lend the money. Otherwise, what good would it do her if the situation blew up?

It’s like what’s happening now—once everyone knows He Hui needed the money for dical expenses, they all turn around and bla He Jinxia. Do you think He Jinxia’s team would be so foolish as to not foresee this?

So there are only three possibilities: either He Hui told her the money was for dical expenses, or the amount borrowed was too much, millions Hai Jinxia couldn’t afford, or He Hui is lying!"

"The analysis above is very accurate. I insist that He Hui is lying. She can’t even clearly state what illness she has. You don’t have to na it entirely, but surely this illness has a common na. Common nas can’t be that hard to rember, can they?

I just don’t believe it. If the illness were truly life-threatening, you wouldn’t forget its na! The only situation in which you’d forget is if it were just a minor illness, sothing trivial that doesn’t warrant rembering!"

...

Out of a desire to defend their idol, He Jinxia’s fans each turned into detectives, determined to point out inconsistencies in He Hui’s statents.

But among the vast internet community, He Jinxia’s fans were in the minority. Most were neutral observers or those who believed in rumors.

These two groups of internet users were the main forces in public opinions and were the ones most easily influenced by promotional accounts.

So passersby who liked He Jinxia might still check out the videos to get a good grasp of the situation. Those who didn’t even see the videos had to rely on luck.

If they were lucky, the news they stumbled upon might defend He Jinxia, and they would adopt a bias that He Jinxia was right and wasn’t at fault.

If they were unlucky and ca across news dissing He Jinxia, unfortunately, those who saw these pieces of news would complain about He Jinxia being cold-hearted, lanting that their impression of her was ruined.

The public perception beca simple and puzzled beneath He Hui’s tearful video. Many celebrities in the entertainnt circle initially thought that He Jinxia had done nothing wrong and that being caught on video and exposed online was just bad luck.

But the release of this video made them reconsider their thoughts.

What rational internet users could think of, celebrities who were in this industry could think of even more.

Undoubtedly, many stars wouldn’t think He Jinxia would be so foolish. If it were indeed soone else’s lifesaving money, not to ntion tens of thousands, even if it were hundreds of thousands, they would have to provide it, especially since it involved closely related family mbers.

Otherwise, if there were a serious illness and no financial help was given, others wouldn’t be so considerate; they would definitely leak the story, trying to gather as much as possible. If they couldn’t, well, it didn’t matter much since death was imminent.

He Jinxia didn’t choose to give the money and was exposed by soone. Needless to say, she was definitely tricked!

No celebrity would be so foolish as to intentionally walk into danger unless the celebrities themselves were unaware of the sches and got trapped before they could react.

Second-tier celebrities were most concerned with He Jinxia’s situation.

Among the second tier, He Jinxia was a more popular leading actress. If this incident caused her to fall from grace, then they might have a chance to rise and take over the opportunities that used to be hers!
