Chapter 148: Knowing the Truth

“How could you say that about me? I’m the victim in this whole incident!” Mei Mu couldn’t bear it any longer and wailed in pain.
However, the more she cried, the more disdainful the expressions on others’ faces became.
A kind nurse reminded her, “I suggest you take a look at the evidence Mei Shu released online before saying anything.”
If they didn’t know the truth, Mei Mu’s pitiful appearance might have easily deceived them.
Mei Mu hesitated before reluctantly opening her phone. She saw those people looking at her with a mocking gaze, which made her expression even uglier. “You can all leave. I need to rest.”
With that, she slammed the door shut with a bang, leaned against it, and gasped for breath as she opened her phone.
The internet was already flooded with not how wicked Mei Shu was as a person but rather with the news Mei Shu had posted using her anonymous account.
As a result, the account gained ten million followers within a short hour.
Still not fully comprehending the situation, Mei Mu clicked on the account and saw the only dynamic post there, which immediately made her lose her composure!
The post not only provided clear evidence pointing to the IP address of the account that had slandered Mei Shu on the first night being in her hospital room, but it also presented more crucial evidence. It revealed that Mei Mu couldn’t bear the pressure of being caught stealing and jumped from the stairs herself.
Someone even proved that, on the eve of the competition, Mei Shu had openly engaged in a piano competition with another girl at the school to compete for the spot to represent the school in the competition.
There was also footage of Mei Shu’s performance at the competition, including the video exposing the lies of Feng Wei and Chen Jian.
Most crucially, these two videos were published by Eider Wu and Elder Wen.
The two held extremely authoritative positions in the piano community, and no one dared to question their words, especially when there was video evidence. Mei Shu indeed had the ability to win the championship and didn’t need to resort to dirty tactics to grab a spot, as Mei Mu had claimed.
Several pieces of evidence laid out together completely shattered Mei Mu’s lies.
Now, the internet was filled with praise for Mei Shu.
After watching the videos of the competition, many people who were initially bystanders became her fans. Her performance was so infectious that even through the screen, people felt like they were there in person, let alone those who were present at the scene.
Their only regret was not having attended the competition. Many of them left messages under Mei Shu’s account, hoping she would participate in another competition, promising that they would definitely come in person next time!
Mei Shu replied to a few of the comments, earning unanimous praise from netizens.
On the other hand, Mei Mu’s account was now flooded with negative comments.
“I spent the whole day and night browsing the internet, and I can’t believe it was all a show orchestrated by the illegitimate child herself to smear the legitimate daughter! Disgusting!”
“You’re truly wicked! We almost fell for your deception! Prepare to face a lawsuit!”
“Why did the hospital save someone like you? It makes me furious! i wish you would just die!”
Various curses and insults filled her comment section.
Mei Mu looked at the screen, her vision going black. She leaned against the door and slowly slid to the ground.
Her fingers trembled as she continued to scroll down, and finally, she spotted a familiar name.
Feng Wei.
She clicked on Feng Wei’s account and, as expected, saw a sea of negative comments. Many people had reported Feng Wei to the higher-ups of the piano association, and she was likely to be expelled from the circle for such corrupt practices.
Feng Wei hadn’t replied to any comments, and she was probably feeling just as devastated as Mei Mu.
The journalist Zhang Han, who had interviewed Mei Mu and released the recording, had already been fired by his media company.
His fate was even worse than theirs.
Mei Mu threw her phone on the ground and hugged her knees, sobbing uncontrollably.
How did this happen?
Why was Mei Shu only lightly counterattacking, yet she was already completely defenseless against it?
She believed that her abilities and talents were no less than Mei Shu’s, so why was everyone now siding with Mei Shu?
This was entirely different from what she had envisioned!
Soon, her train of thought was interrupted by the ringing of her phone.
Wang Yue sounded extremely anxious on the other end of the phone, “Mumu, are you okay? Don’t be afraid, Mom will go to the hospital to accompany you!”
“Mom!” Mei Mu’s voice trembled with disbelief as she choked back her tears. “Why did I lose to Mei Shu again? Now everyone believes her, and everyone is scolding me. People are even coming to the hospital to pick on me. I don’t want to stay in the hospital; I want to go home!”
Wang Yue fell silent and spoke in a soothing tone, “Mumu, I know you’re feeling sad right now, but listen to me. Mom has already rented a house for you. If you don’t want to stay in the hospital, I’ll take you to the new house.” “Mom?” Mei Mu’s voice trembled, and she asked uncertainly, “Why can’t i go home? Isn’t that our home?”
Wang Yue’s tone was a bit awkward as she explained, “Your father is still angry right now, and it’s not suitable for you to go back. Listen to Mom, and i will take you back as soon as possible..”
