Guardian Jia Fei.
Guardian Jia Fei.
After their week-long honeymoon, they had only arrived back home last night, looking forward to a whole day of relaxation and pampering with a full-body spa. Xu Nuan desperately needed it to shake off the stress that Han Zihao had put her through in the past few days.
That man was insatiable. The moment the doctor gave them the green light, he went all out during their honeymoon. They were at it almost every night, and instead of exploring famous places during the day, Xu Nuan had to stay at the mansion to rest and recover from the exhaustion he had caused her.
Finally, she was anticipating some well-deserved rest after returning from their honeymoon, but guess what? She had to deal with a mess created by her oblivious friend Jia Fei, who had no clue about any of it.
Jia Fei noticed Xu Nuan's accusatory glare and immediately responded, "What? Why are you giving me that suspenseful look? I swear I didn't do anything this time. I definitely didn't break anyone's bones this time. Nope!" She quickly defended herself.
After joining HJ Entertainment, there was this one incident where she got involved in a scandal for allegedly beating a man in an elevator. Someone manipulated and leaked a video of the incident on the internet, resulting in a massive hit to her reputation.
She faced relentless criticism from all sides, with people bashing her left and right, questioning not only her femininity as a woman but also her moral character as a person.
Xu Nuan was annoyed by Jia Fei's thoughtless behavior and the mess she had created. But, in her heart, she knew that Jia Fei wouldn't just go around beating people for no reason. So, she took the chance to tell Jia Fei to take a few days off and keep her mouth shut, not saying a word about it.
Jia Fei was puzzled by Xu Nuan's seemingly relaxed attitude and wondered why she didn't want to take immediate action. However, Jia Fei trusted Xu Nuan's judgment and decided to let her handle the situation in her way.
A few days later, Jia Fei woke up to the incessant buzzing of her phone, signaling the arrival of a storm on the internet. As she groggily checked her notifications, she discovered that things had gone wild.
A post by a high-school girl had taken the spotlight, unveiling the entire truth behind the incident. According to the girl, she had been a witness in the elevator and made it clear that Jia Fei had a legitimate reason for taking action against the man.
In reality, it turned out that the man had been harassing and inappropriately touching the girl. She was frightened and unable to react in time. However, Jia Fei stepped in and stood up for her, taking matters into her own hands to seek justice.
The man, who had initially sued Jia Fei for physical abuse and violence, was, in fact, the true perpetrator and the one who had harassed her. The girl further explained that she had remained silent all this time out of fear of being questioned, and it hadn't been easy for her to publicly share the traumatic and humiliating incident on the internet.
However, witnessing Jia Fei being targeted unjustly became too much for her, as Jia Fei had been her savior at that moment.
After the girl's confession came to light, a popular media outlet decided to release the full, unedited version of the CCTV video. The footage clearly showed the man harassing the girl who was also in the elevator, wearing a school uniform, and subjected to his inappropriate touching.
The girl appeared visibly terrified in the video but was unable to react in time to the man's advances. She attempted to move to the other side of the elevator to avoid him, but he persistently continued his inappropriate behavior. It was evident from the video that the man was clearly in the wrong.
However, Jia Fei acted swiftly and decisively, stepping in to confront the man and physically defend the girl. Her actions against the man highlighted his disgusting behavior. The release of the video caused a sensation, generating a buzz around Jia Fei and positioning her as a symbol of empowerment and a champion for women. She became a popular figure, admired as a girl crush, and hailed as a savior for women.
The scandal not only restored Jia Fei's image as a Girl Crush but also propelled her popularity to new heights. Jia Fei had been striving to establish herself as a solo artist after the disbandment of The Queens, the scandal provided her with a surge of fame, once again making her name top the search rankings.
Transitioning from the persona of "thug Jia Fei," she was now affectionately referred to as "Guardian Jia Fei." This transformation solidified her position as a beloved figure in the industry, admired for her courage and willingness to stand up for others.
After the truth came out, Jia Fei discovered that Xu Nuan had been the mastermind behind everything, including the release of the CCTV footage. Curious, Jia Fei asked Xu Nuan why she didn't reveal the evidence sooner.
Xu Nuan's response was simple: "Posting it earlier wouldn't have made a big impact; it would have just been a minor scandal."
Xu Nuan used a metaphor to explain her reasoning, saying, "It's like boiling water. You need to let it boil for a while to create steam and get that hot, boiling water."
Patience was the key, according to Xu Nuan.
Jia Fei realized that Xu Nuan wasn't messing around when it came to the entertainment industry. She knew what she was doing, and her careful planning and patience paid off in the end.

Xu Nuan let out a sarcastic chuckle at Jia Fei's shameless words and replied, "Oh, look who's moved on from breaking bones to breaking contract rules. How impressive!" She scoffed, emphasizing the irony in Jia Fei's shift from physical altercations to contractual missteps.
Jia Fei furrowed her brow and exchanged puzzled glances with Luo Dan and Xu Nuan. "Seriously, what rules are you talking about?" she asked, her voice tinged with a sense of being wronged.
She focused her gaze on Xu Nuan, feeling the need to clarify, "I want you to know that I didn't do anything wrong while you were off enjoying your honeymoon," she emphasized, her tone reflecting her genuine confusion and a hint of frustration.
Xu Nuan let out a sigh, realizing that Jia Fei had no clue about the situation. Without saying a word, she rummaged through her bag and pulled out her laptop, opening it to a specific page. "Here, take a look for yourself," she said, a hint of frustration in her voice.
Curiosity piqued, Jia Fei leaned in and plonked Xu Nuan's laptop in front of her. As she scanned the open slide, her eyes widened in shock. "What the... Holy crap!" she blurted out, unable to contain her surprise.
She quickly caught herself, remembering that Xu Nuan was carrying a baby, and toned down her language. But seriously, the situation was insane enough to warrant a few colorful words.
After her phone slipped out of her hand and its screen shattered yesterday, Jia Fei decided to take a break from social media. Little did she know, a whirlwind of events had unfolded in such a short span of time. The sudden deluge of information left her completely dumbfounded and feeling disconnected from what had been happening around her.
