After leaving that home, I made up my mind never to go back.

I even blocked all contact information for my parents, Song Xiaobei, and Zhenzhen.

If any relatives dare to come and advise me, I would curse at them too. Without feeling the pain until the whip hits themselves, they all think their moral standards are so high.

A week later, my colleague Xiao Zhao suddenly came to me while browsing short videos and asked me to look at her phone: "Xiaonan, look, isn't this person on here you?"

It was a piece of social news published by a self-media account, with a sensational title: [Father faces imprisonment, heartless daughter turns a blind eye.]

Parents, Song Xiaobei, and Zhenzhen all appeared.

My parents were in tears in front of the camera, accusing me of being raised by them at a cost of over a million, and after I started working, I cut off contact with the family. Now that my father is in trouble, not only did I not give money, but I also hit my own father.

My dad even showed the red marks on his face, crying: "When one gets old and useless, they have to endure the anger of their children."

Not a word was mentioned about trying to sell me to an older man.

Then Zhenzhen appeared, introducing herself as a self-media worker, in a free relationship with Song Xiaobei, not yet married, but upon knowing her boyfriend's father was in trouble, she voluntarily suggested not accepting a dowry.

"I believe nothing is more important than the well-being and health of a family. Some people value money more than life itself, but I don't think so. Money can be earned again. I believe with my abilities, I can definitely create a bright future for myself." Zhenzhen said, with a determined look as if she was about to join the party.

Lastly, a person with a mosaic over their face appeared, but I immediately recognized him as Zhenzhen's older brother, Xu Guoli.

He claimed to be an insider, revealing that I had secretly spent two million to buy a large house in the city center without informing the family. He portrayed me as someone with economic power who only cared about enjoying myself, treating my parents as a burden, and not returning home for a long time.

Although my name was not mentioned in the video, those familiar with our family could easily guess who they were talking about.

Zhenzhen even left her ID in the video comments, gaining a lot of followers.

This piece became popular, with almost all netizens in the comments condemning me as heartless, sympathizing with my parents, and praising the kind-hearted Zhenzhen.

"Xiaonan, what should we do?" Xiao Zhao looked at me with concern.

"Ignore it. What's true can't be faked, and what's fake can't be made true," I said indifferently.

The sales office was quieter during this time, but my side job was doing better. I focused on improving my skills every day, with no time to get involved in such matters with them.

Moreover, I believed this short-lived popularity was just temporary. It would soon be overshadowed by new social trends, and they wouldn't be able to make a big deal out of it.

But I forgot that Zhenzhen herself was a short video blogger with tens of thousands of followers. She used this incident to start promoting products!
