CHAPTER 866: CHAPTER 777: DISLOCATED LIVES 65

Even among adults, how many can immediately start supporting their parents as soon as they turn eighteen? Some start supporting twenty years early, while others delay it for thirty years. The worst situation is when children depend on their parents, and the parents end up saving money for the children’s retirement. How many, like Shuangshuang, pay so much support to their parents while still minors?

Also, why didn’t Shuangshuang live with the Fang Family before? Based on Shuangshuang’s actions, it’s obvious she’s not an unfilial person, so the problem must be with the Fang Family members.

Moreover, Shuangshuang has been living out on her own for such a long time, why didn’t the Fang Family go looking for her? How could they be so at ease letting a minor rent a place to live on her own?

Now that Shuangshuang is famous and wealthy, the Fang Family, who previously ignored her, have come knocking, asking her to buy a house outright. How can they have the nerve?

Plus, the neighbors’ testimonies say that Shuangshuang was never liked by the Fang Family. They behaved oddly and constantly bad-mouthed her. Despite this, Shuangshuang kept sending large packages to her family, and since she wasn’t welcomed, she had to ask the neighbors to take care of her parents by sending gifts through them.

After doing all this, how can she not care for her parents or be unfilial? What more does the Fang Family want from Shuangshuang in terms of filial piety? Shuangshuang never received any care from the Fang Family, yet she still went to such lengths. Isn’t this enough to be considered filial?

The final straw for the Fang Family was the neighbors’ revelation: the Fang Family was furious because they wanted Shuangshuang to use her money to buy the entire floor of a building. Instead, Shuangshuang donated all her money.

The Fang Family’s plans failed, so they crazily smeared Shuangshuang to vent their anger. It was also an attempt to coerce her into never refusing any future demands from them; otherwise, they would use public opinion to crush her.

Those who had insulted Shuangshuang online felt both ashamed and angry when they realized they had become the Fang Family’s executioners without knowing it.

Following this news, official evidence was released confirming the authenticity of Shuangshuang’s donation of all her assets. There was no longer any doubt among netizens; it was clear the Fang Family was morally corrupt and of poor character.

Even with these reversals and official evidence, some people online continued to jump around, claiming Shuangshuang was seeking fame and recognition. They said even if she donated, she should have left enough money for her Fang Family parents, and some claimed she donated everything out of spite.

Such statements angered a large number of netizens, who criticized these people for having skewed perspectives. Technically savvy individuals dug out previous posts, revealing that these were the very people who had smeared Shuangshuang the most.

Before the netizens could condemn these people, another bombshell news hit the internet: Shuangshuang had taken legal action against several online abusers, getting a large group of them arrested by the police.

Before those online who hadn’t been caught yet, but had also insulted Shuangshuang, could become anxious, another shocking news was released: most of those arrested were paid by others to muddy the waters and intensely defame Shuangshuang.

And those who hired these mercenaries were the Fang Family, who paid a considerable amount, a full three million! The Fang Family hired so many that they had to spend that much. It was also because of the numbers that the online uproar was so intense.

With this revelation, netizens were completely astounded. They had never seen such heartless parents before, or such shameless family members who would go to such lengths against their own child!

Previously, many sympathized with the Fang Family, but now even more people were disgusted by them. The rumors spread by the online mercenaries that Shuangshuang deliberately donated all her money because she wouldn’t give to the Fang Family were also debunked.

The truth was apparent; the Fang Family weren’t wealthy enough to have a few million in savings. So, where did they get the money to hire mercenaries? Wasn’t it from Shuangshuang?

In reality, the public guessed half of it wrong. Two million of the mercenary hire costs came from Shuangshuang, eight hundred thousand were the Fang Family’s own savings, and two hundred thousand were a friendly sponsorship from Wen Zhijin to take down Shuangshuang. However, even if the Fang Family revealed this, no one would believe it now. The netizens have no qualms about assuming the worst about the Fang Family.

At this moment, the Fang Family had already fallen into a panic. They truly understood what it meant to be like lost dogs, like rats crossing the street, met with everyone’s wrath. The neighbors had also changed their tune, no longer flattering them, but instead watching coldly and sarcastically mocking them.

Fang Zhan and Bai Xiao, who already knew why the neighbors flattered them previously, felt no gratitude towards Shuangshuang. Instead, they resented her deeply, thinking she had cunningly dug a pit for them early on and harbored malicious intent.

But hating her does no good; the Fang Family now can’t even get close to Shuangshuang. They face ridicule just going out to buy groceries, and even several vendors refuse to sell to them once they are recognized.

Because of Shuangshuang’s fame and the previous extent to which the Fang Family had blown up the issues, everyone from the Fang Family, from Grandpa Fang and Grandma Fang down to Fang Zhan, Bai Xiao, and Fang Shaosheng, were widely recognized by the public. Even with masks and hats, they were recognized within a few steps.

Fang Shaosheng was struggling to continue schooling. The pure malice of students was more harmful than that of adults. They were not subtle, nor did they ridicule behind one’s back, but instead confronted him openly, making it impossible to ignore the whispers and pretend not to hear.

Previously, when Fang Shaosheng appeared on TV, crying with Grandpa Fang and Grandma Fang, claiming Shuangshuang was a terrible sister and bully, he seemed pitiful and gained much sympathy in school. Many classmates comforted him, offering warmth and care.

After the truth came out, everyone realized their goodwill was so exploited by Fang Shaosheng. This revelation infuriated them, especially the students, who were more incensed by having their youthful enthusiasm so used.

Classmates disdained Fang Shaosheng’s character, with their own anger over deception and the disdain in their parents’ words at home about the Fang Family fueling their feelings. These young individuals used their own means to retaliate against the feeling of being deceived.

Some cut ties with Fang Shaosheng, ignoring him and using cold violence, while others, more impulsive, resorted to various pranks and mockery to express their anger.
