Volume One, Chapter 15: Ma Rongrong’s Defamation

“As long as he doesn’t go to prison, even a fine is acceptable!”

“If Yang Feng doesn’t have the money, I can help him pay the fine!”

Su Mei had always treated Yang Feng as if he were her own son.

Even if she had to sell everything she owned, she would help Yang Feng pay any fines—as long as he didn’t end up behind bars.

“Director Su, do you really trust Yang Feng that much?”

At that moment, Ning Qingcheng couldn’t help but ask.

“Of course I trust him. I’ve watched him grow up!” Su Mei replied firmly.

“Do I not know Yang Feng’s character well enough?”

“There’s no way Yang Feng would sell fake medicine to cheat people!”

“Even if he was short on money, he wouldn’t stoop to such despicable acts!”

“Qingcheng, you grew up with Yang Feng. Don’t you trust him?”

From beginning to end, Su Mei refused to believe Yang Feng could do such a thing.

After all, she had seen him grow up in the orphanage.

Her faith in his character was absolute.

“...”

Ning Qingcheng was left speechless.

Deep down, she also found it hard to believe Yang Feng would do such a thing.

“What the hell? That bitch is showing up again?”

“Why on earth did Yang Feng ever get involved with such a woman?”

At that moment, Ning Qingcheng suddenly cursed loudly, clutching her phone.

“What’s wrong? Is it Ma Rongrong?”

Seeing this, Su Mei asked anxiously.

Ma Rongrong had brought a terrible influence to the situation.

If things continued like this, public opinion online would turn heavily against Yang Feng.

When the case reached court, the judge would surely consider the social fallout.

“Who else could it be but her?”

Ning Qingcheng’s face was full of disdain as she mentioned Ma Rongrong.

She had always thought Yang Feng must have been blind to be involved with such a woman.

Her sudden fury had erupted because Ma Rongrong had started another live broadcast.

And in that stream, she was shamelessly slandering Yang Feng.

That was why Ning Qingcheng was so enraged.

...

At that moment, Ma Rongrong was being interviewed live by reporters.

“Miss Ma, may I ask if you and Yang Feng were in a romantic relationship?”

“Yes, we were dating before, but we have broken up now.”

“At that time, I was young and naive, which is why I was fooled by Yang Feng’s sweet words.”

“After being with him, I discovered he was selling fake medicine, cheating patients out of their hard-earned money!”

“When I found out, I immediately joined other patients in reporting him and broke up with him!”

Facing the reporters, Ma Rongrong lied without a hint of shame.

If Ning Qingcheng had been there, she would have cursed her out.

How could Ma Rongrong spout such fabricated nonsense?

“Miss Ma, could you tell us what kind of person Yang Feng is?”

For the reporters, uncovering more sensational details was the goal.

The scandal surrounding Yang Feng was already hot; revealing new dirt would only make it explode further.

“Yang Feng is extremely stingy!”

“I was with him for so many years and never once spent his money!”

“Not only that, he often borrowed money from me!”

“Most importantly, Yang Feng is a pathological liar!”

“While we were dating, he flirted with other girls. He’s a typical scumbag!”

Ma Rongrong tore Yang Feng apart with her words.

Not only was he stingy, but also unfaithful and, worst of all, a scoundrel!

“Who would have thought Yang Feng was just a gold digger!”

“He looks decent, but he’s really so despicable!”

“I think Ma Rongrong must have been deceived by him!”

“Good thing they broke up, or her fate would have been miserable!”

“If even his girlfriend says this, then Yang Feng must be a big liar!”

...

After watching Ma Rongrong’s live interview, netizens began to curse Yang Feng vehemently.

Yang Feng was already despised by many, like a rat to be driven out.

Now, with Ma Rongrong’s revelations, his reputation was utterly ruined.

“When I found out he was cheating patients with fake medicine, I decided to break up!”

“But Yang Feng refused and even threatened me!”

“He said if I wanted to break up, I had to pay a hefty breakup fee!”

“I’m just a recent college graduate; where would I get that kind of money?”

“Most importantly, once I knew he was deceiving patients, I couldn’t let him continue hurting people!”

“I had to expose him so everyone could see his true colors!”

At that moment, Ma Rongrong wore a look of grievance, as if truly victimized by Yang Feng.

She portrayed herself as a righteous woman standing up against evil.

If it weren’t for protecting the patients, she wouldn’t have come forward to report him.

One must admit, Ma Rongrong’s acting skills were impressive.

She should have been an actress.

With just a few words, she crafted a flawless image for herself.

With this persona, she could win more sympathy from netizens.

Her fan base on the streaming platform had already surpassed five million, making her a major influencer.

In just a few days of streaming, she had earned at least a million yuan in gifts and tips.

That was why she kept going live to slander Yang Feng relentlessly.

Whether Yang Feng lived or died was of no concern to her.

All she wanted was to gain more profit!

“Ma Rongrong, you’re talking nonsense!”

“You shameless woman, have you no sense of decency?”

While Ma Rongrong was being interviewed, continuously defaming Yang Feng, a furious voice suddenly rang out.

Everyone present turned to look.

Meanwhile, viewers in the live chat erupted with excitement.

Most came for the drama and wanted more chaos.

Seeing someone openly scold Ma Rongrong fired up countless netizens.

“Who is that?”

“She looks like Yang Feng’s lawyer. I saw her at the detention center last time!”

“Word is, she is Ning Qingcheng, the top lawyer from Donghai, and Yang Feng’s childhood playmate from the orphanage!”

“Yang Feng’s sister? Doesn’t sound like a good person!”

“Ning Qingcheng defending Yang Feng at a time like this? That’s suspicious!”

“Seems like Ning Qingcheng, Yang Feng’s defense attorney, is not someone to trust either!”

...

Ning Qingcheng’s sudden appearance in the live broadcast sparked a flurry of speculation among netizens.

Many recognized her as Yang Feng’s defense lawyer and childhood friend.

Most believed she was no better than an accomplice.

“Ma Rongrong, you are utterly shameless!”

“If you hadn’t clung to Yang Feng so desperately, why would he have been with you?”

“Now you not only accuse him of selling fake medicine but also spout lies here!”

“If it weren’t for Yang Feng, you’d be dead by now. Have you lost all conscience?”

Ning Qingcheng hurled curses at Ma Rongrong without holding back.
