So they were also skeptical, after all, they had never seen Ning Yi's boyfriend with their own eyes... but seeing how outrageous the comments online were, they were quite angry and retorted to several of the comments.

Li Man: I knew it, how could Xiao Yi possibly date an older man?

Li Man: I'm not saying your uncle is old hag, I'm just saying Xiao Yi isn't short of money.

Jona: You scared me to death! I thought you were really thinking of doing something drastic. Those netizens are just bored out of their minds. Even if you found a lousy guy, what business is it of theirs?

An Xiaonuo: Xiaoyi, don't pay attention to those online trolls.

Li Man: I have to go and curse those internet trolls to death.

Ning Yi looked at the forum posts and her mind was in turmoil.

Lin Zhiyu sent a message at that moment.

Lin Zhiyu: Are you alright?

Lin Zhiyu: Don't listen to what those people say. I believe you're not that kind of person.

Ningyi: Thank you. That person wasn't my boyfriend; he was my uncle. He came to pick me up from school.

Lin Zhiyu: I knew it. But are you going to clarify things next? Or should you just have your boyfriend do it?

Ning Yi: I plan to clarify this myself.

Lin Zhiyu: At a time like this, isn't your boyfriend going to step in?

Ning Yi: I just feel it's unnecessary.

Lin Zhiyu: Okay, I respect your opinion. If there's anything I can help you with, feel free to contact me.

Ning Yi scrolled through the comments section. Some people were speaking up for her, but some overly argumentative people replied directly: "Then why don't you just post the pictures? Hiding them is just being shameful."

Perhaps simply showing a simple couple photo would be the most effective and straightforward way, but Ji Yan's status simply doesn't allow it.

Ning Yi started a thread on the forum to clarify: I am Ning Yi myself. All the rumors circulating on the forum are untrue. The man in the picture is my uncle, not some older boyfriend. The truth will prevail. I hope everyone will stop making malicious speculations.

After a long time, many people came down to comfort Ning Yi and speak up for her, but there were always some people who kept saying some unpleasant things. Because they were speaking online, they didn't care at all whether what they said was unpleasant or reasonable.

Ning Yi scratched her head in frustration. Never mind, she had said what she needed to say. The innocent are innocent, and she had nothing to hide. Those people were just envious and jealous.

It's true that fame brings trouble. She's only had a small amount of popularity, yet she was secretly filmed and posted online, attracting a bunch of trolls. It's really baffling.

……

Ji Yan frowned as he looked at the malicious comments on his phone.

It was Wei Ming who told Xu Zhi, and then Xu Zhi told Ji Yan.

"Find someone to investigate who posted this, find a lawyer to take her there and scare her, let her know what she can and cannot post, and then make her delete the post and issue a public apology," Ji Yan said coldly.

“Okay,” Xu Zhi replied.

Ji Yan then clicked on Ning Yi's post, a hint of heartache flashing in his eyes. He felt sorry that he couldn't stand by her side at this time, causing his little girl to suffer.

It was already very late, past 12:40 a.m. Ning Yi didn't take the initiative to talk to him, probably because she didn't want to cause him any trouble. But the more she did this, the more he felt sorry for her.

In one more week, he can go back to see his Xiaoyi.

Although Ning Yi tried to avoid paying attention to the information on the forum these past two days, she couldn't help but think about those things inexplicably.

That day, a message came into the group saying that the person who secretly took the photos and posted them was a person who had deleted the posts and publicly apologized to Ning Yi.

Ning Yi was very surprised, and then went to the forum to check. Sure enough, the previous post was gone, and someone had even tagged her and apologized to her.

Girl who loves lemons: @Drinking Orange Juice I'm sorry Ningyi, I shouldn't have taken photos of you privately and posted them online, causing you trouble. The things I said in the previous post were just my personal speculation and were not true. I'm really sorry for the trouble I caused you.

Ning Yi was a little confused. This change of heart was so fast? Just because she clarified things yesterday? Did it have such a big effect?

Ning Yi thought about it again and again, and wondered how it was possible. The person who posted the message was so unfriendly at first, how could their attitude change so quickly just because of her clarification?

Finally, she realized that it must have been Ji Yan who did it.

Ning Yi quickly sent a message to Ji Yan: Did you create the post on the forum?

Ningyi: How did you find out about this? Aren't you very busy with work lately?

It took Ji Yan a long time to reply to the message.

Ji Yan: If you don't tell me, I'll have to find out myself.

Ji Yan: You must remember that you can always rely on me. I don't want you to be sad or upset because of these things.

Ningyi: Thank you, Ayan.

Ji Yan: I'm your boyfriend, that's only natural. Next time, please tell me everything, okay?

Ning Yi: Okay, but you should have told me you did a good deed. Let's just say we're even this time.

Ji Yan: Okay, I'll be back in six days.

Ning Yi: I'm waiting for you [flying kiss]

Ji Yan looked at the message on her phone and couldn't help but smile.

……

Fang Wenyi was also very puzzled when she saw her friend Chen Xin's post apologizing, so she immediately went to ask her about it.

Chen Xin replied in a panicked tone: "Ning Yi is someone we can't afford to offend. I don't know anything else. Someone came to see me directly with a lawyer. I was terrified."

After this matter was resolved, Ning Yi was able to calm down and prepare for the next event.

Since Ning Yi's uncle and Ye Xiao were both home, everyone went to watch Ning Yi's event together.

Perhaps it was because she participated in more and more events and stood on the stage that Ning Yi felt she was becoming more and more confident.

After the event ended, since this was in Nanzhou, some of the people present knew Ning Jian and took the initiative to go up and greet him.

After several conversations, some people learned that Ning Yi was their child and took the initiative to talk to her.

After all, he was her father's friend, and someone even recommended some music professionals and orchestras to her, so she couldn't refuse and agreed.

After she got back, an older woman sent her a message. She was one of the leaders of an orchestra that Teacher Wen had introduced to her before.

Tang Ziyin: If you want to pursue a career as a freelance violinist, I suggest you create a public WeChat account. That way, you can easily find people for commercial events or art competitions.

Ningyi: Public WeChat account?

Tang Ziyin: Yes, for example, create a Weibo account and fill in your email address and other information there. This will not only increase your visibility, but also make it easier for relevant staff to contact you.

Since meeting her last time, Ning Yi and Tang Ziyin have talked a lot. Tang Ziyin admires Ning Yi and hopes that Ning Yi can join their art troupe, but Ning Yi has no such intention. However, Tang Ziyin is willing to be friends with her.

Later, Ning Yi changed her Weibo bio as Tang Ziyin had instructed. Tang Ziyin also said that she could get a yellow V verification in a while, and she would teach Ning Yi how to do it then.
