Chapter 368 Princess Porkchop

Fans of interior designer Wu Qianxi were wondering why she returned to the U.S. again when she already announced before that she would be staying in China for good. Her recent posts on her social media pages were very cryptic and depressing. She hinted that she was driven away from her mother country against her will, so she had no choice but to return to the U.S. heartbroken.

Her fans continued to ask her for clarification. They were worried about her, especially after hearing that all of her Asian clients cancelled hiring her. Finally, a U.S.-based friend of hers revealed the "truth" in a blog post.

"My dear friend, Qianxi Wu, was humiliated by the public proposal of her ex-boyfriend to his mistress who he has an illegitimate son with. He proposed right in front of Qianxi. The audacity! My blood is boiling just hearing about it. I can just imagine the mortifying scene. No wonder Qianxi is so heartbroken. She's crying every day and she can't sleep at night because she was traumatized by the experience. If I was present at that party, I would've punched that ex-boyfriend right on his cheating face and then pulled all the hair out of that shameless mistress!

"What's more, Qianxi's family was betrayed by that ex-boyfriend's family. The two families were long-time friends and collaborated in several business projects. But because of greed, the ex-boyfriend's family terminated all of their existing contracts and discarded Qianxi's family, forcing the Wus to suffer millions in financial losses. Then the ex-boyfriend's family partnered with a huge corporation instead. If that's not greedy, I don't know what is. I'm utterly disgusted by how that ex-boyfriend and his family treated my friend Qianxi and her family!

"They not only broke Qianxi's heart but shattered her dreams as well! As loyal fans of her work as an interior designer, you all know that she gambled on leaving her successful career here just to start all over again in China and Asia. I don't know what kind of hocus-pocus that ex-boyfriend's family did, but she has been blacklisted from working in Asia! How sickening is that?!

"I beg all of you to please help comfort our dear Qianxi. She's depressed right now, and I'm very worried as her close friend. To tell you the truth, I want to fly over to China and beat all of those who hurt her. That ex-boyfriend, his mistress and his entire family of greedy pigs! Thank you and please continue supporting our favourite interior designer, Qianxi Wu."

This blog post was written in both English and Chinese, so it quickly spread like wildfire on the internet. It also eventually made its way to the Chinese internet where many netizens made the connection to Long Hui and the Long family.

It didn't take long before the Longs were made aware of the incriminating blog post. Long Hui and Jiang Ying Yue were mercilessly attacked by random netizens, calling them a cheating couple and other nasty insults. As the woman, Jiang Ying Yue had to suffer worse than Long Hui. People called her a loose woman, a gold digger and a social climber.

Long Hui and the Long family (ordered by Long Tengfei) both issued separate official statements, explaining their side of the story. Some believed them, but the majority of the people, including the women, sided with Wu Qianxi.

To them, Wu Qianxi was the real victim. They were also indignant about what happened to her family. The Wus were now basically bankrupt. Compared to them, the Longs were riding high as they worked on finalizing their several partnership deals with Jin Corporation.

The horrible name-calling and outrage continued to attack Long Hui, Jiang Ying Yue and the entire Long family. The elders and the other relatives were absolutely horrified. This was by far the worst hit they experienced on their reputation as an entire clan.

Long Tengfei also felt troubled. He heard from his informants that the elders gathered for a secret meeting. He could sense that they were planning something drastic, possibly a call to remove his eldest son, Long Hui, as the heir.

But before this crisis reached a point of no return, another blog post made waves. This time, it was by a recently popular webtoon author called Princess Porkchop. She was the creator of the hit webtoon series "Queen of the Shadows".

Princess Porkchop claimed that she was present at the party and witnessed all of the important events that happened that time. She wrote on her blog:

"I am close to both Long Hui and Jiang Ying Yue. They have a wonderful baby son together. I would like to address the claim that Wu Qianxi's friend made. Jiang Ying Yue is NOT mistress. Long Hui and Wu Qianxi already broke up when Long Hui and Jiang Ying Yue got together. They have NEVER been a cheating couple. I have no idea where that claim came from. I think someone is being delusional to believe that they are still together when they already broke up.

"I also don't understand how Wu Qianxi continues to paint herself as a victim in this matter. Even during the party, she acted like she and Long Hui were still together which they are NOT! The way I see it—and I think you will too after I explain my view—Wu Qianxi is a homewrecker intent on destroying a beautiful family.

"Long Hui and Jiang Ying Yue are NOT married or in a relationship with other people. They are free to love each other and raise their son together. But here comes the ex-girlfriend who wants Long Hui back. She accuses Jiang Ying Yue of being a mistress. She uses her status as a rising star in the world of interior design and as the daughter of the Wu family to discredit a normal woman with no impressive family background. What's more, she acts like a white lotus to gain the sympathy of her followers in order to indirectly push them to attack the poor innocent woman who is the rightful fiancée of Long Hui.

"Tell me. Who is the real immoral one between these two women? I know for a fact that it isn't Jiang Ying Yue. I'll leave the rest for you to decide who you want to believe. I'm just describing to you what I witnessed with my own two eyes, unlike that 'friend' who wasn't even in the country when the party happened. I bet she just heard everything from Wu Qianxi.

"That's all I have to say in this matter. I hope that you judge the situation fairly. Thank you for reading. Please continue supporting my webtoon 'Queen of the Shadows'! The second arc is reaching its climax. Stay tuned!"

Princess Porkchop's blog post immediately went viral. She only rose to popularity as a webtoon artist recently, but she already had many fans. Some of them were die-hard ones who followed everything she said as if her words were divine commandments.

The trajectory of attacks suddenly shifted from Jiang Ying Yue to Wu Qianxi.

"Don't ever come back here, you shameless homewrecker!"

"I hate white lotus bitches like you!"

"I regret believing you. You're a liar! I apologize to Miss Jiang for insulting her earlier. I didn't know the truth then. I wish Miss Jiang and Mister Long a happy marriage life and happy family with their son. Shame on you Wu Qianxi for trying to wreck a family!"

Wu Qianxi and her friend who defended her were horrified to find themselves attacked online by thousands of haters. They were forced to deactivate their social media accounts because it became too much. This incident only made the Wu family hasten their preparations to emigrate.

A couple of days later, the national news reported that Jiang Ying Yue hired an American lawyer to sue Wu Qianxi and her friend for defamation. What shocked people the most was that the lawyer was a famous celebrity attorney who had an impressive track record of wins.

By this time, Wu Qianxi, Jiang Ying Yue and Long Hui were featured in the news constantly. A big part of this was their connection to multi-award winning musician Iris Long.

When the media asked for her opinion about the love triangle, Iris Long replied:

"There is no love triangle. I agree with everything Princess Porkchop wrote on her blog post. Someone is delusional to think that she's still in a relationship with my brother. Jiang Ying Yue is a lovely and hardworking woman who is also a great mother to my godson. She's also my friend. I support her all the way."
