After being universally criticized online, he cultivates immortality and farms to lead his motherlan

Chapter 33 We must not suffer in silence.

Now that Jian Ning is free from the pressure of timed tasks, she feels much more relaxed.

She has several million in savings, enough to support herself and the cats and dogs in her yard even if she does nothing.

Put aside the live streaming account and giveaways for now.

Why not take this opportunity to practice the spiritual energy gathering array?

Jian Ning was tireless in this regard and acted immediately upon her decision.

The core of the formation is very important and cannot be destroyed, although it's unlikely that anyone could destroy it anyway.

However, she still planned to set the core of the array on the villa where she lived, which meant that the only way to destroy her spiritual energy gathering array was to blow up her house.

She stood in the living room, her hands clasped together, her little finger and index finger interlaced, and wisps of green light, visible only to her, drifted out from her fingertips like thin smoke.

The next second, the illusion crumbled.

It's probably because your mind isn't at peace.

Jian Ning closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her eyes held a newfound determination, just like when she was in high school, when she couldn't concentrate on her studies and didn't want to do her homework.

But she would force herself to calm down and open the test paper.

When you see the first question, you may feel frustrated, but as long as you force yourself to do the questions one by one, you will enter a flow state and become immersed in it.

In today's fast-paced lifestyle, she rarely reaches a state of flow when doing anything.

Drawing on her experience of forced homework in high school, she tried the spiritual energy gathering array once again.

This time I held on for five seconds, two seconds longer than before, but I still failed.

The spiritual energy gathering formation probably requires even more spiritual power to sustain it.

Jian Ning felt a sense of defeat, but it was precisely that defeat that fueled her indomitable spirit.

Gu Yan's assessment of her wasn't entirely wrong.

She is indeed a stubborn mule, in many things.

She wasn't particularly bright by nature, just average. Living in the countryside, without even parents, the love from her grandparents wasn't enough to give her a rich and resilient inner world, but it did cultivate her stubbornness and tendency to get stuck on things.

If others can do it, why can't I?

Since this spiritual energy gathering array was created, someone must know how to use it.

Failure is not terrible; what is terrible is not having the courage to get back up again and again.

Jian Ning gritted her teeth and kept trying, this time lasting ten seconds.

To put it simply, this spiritual energy gathering array is like first making a hole, then continuously throwing out dots from the center of the array, and connecting countless dots to form an array.

She hasn't even settled on a single key point yet.

A sharp pain shot through her head, and Jian Ning painfully opened her eyes, taking a deep breath to slightly alleviate the pain.

It seems that we cannot rush things and must take it slowly.

The phone, which was on the dining table, suddenly rang.

Jian Ning guessed that it was probably Nan Nan, and when she checked the caller ID, it was indeed her.

Her social circle is very small now, consisting of only a few people.

She answered the phone and asked, "Nan Nan, what's wrong?"

The environment on Zhang Nan's end was noisy, and he was clearly covering his mouth with his hand as he whispered into the receiver: "Ningning, it's being reported online that you hired paparazzi to take pictures of Xie Weiwei and Director Zhang, and you're also behind today's trending topics. Wait, how did that paparazzi end up contacting you and getting photographed? Are you close to that paparazzi?"

“I didn’t know him before, and he came to give me a dog,” Jian Ning said.

Zhang Nan sighed, "I definitely believe you when you say that. I know everyone around you. The main thing is that the online opinion has changed. Gu Yan spent a lot of money to guide the public opinion to the point that you are a terrible, scheming woman who deliberately pulled this stunt to completely destroy him and Xie Weiwei."

“Ningning, I know you’ve retired from the entertainment industry and don’t care about many things. But you absolutely cannot suffer in silence about this.”

"I have to speak up for you."

Jian Ning: "Nan Nan, don't panic, let me check what's going on online."

Zhang Nan replied, "Okay, okay, you take a look first. I'll come find you tonight, just let me know if there's anything I can help you with."

"Mmm." Jian Ning hung up the phone, and then received a message from Long Wu on WeChat.

"Ningning, if there's anything I can help you with, just let me know."

Jian Ning smiled and replied, "Okay, thank you."

She opened Weibo and checked the trending topics.

Even though she had once been in the entertainment industry, she couldn't help but be amazed at how quickly the tide could turn.

It was just a candid photo of her and Chen Qian taken in front of the villa.

At the time, Jian Ning was busy taking care of the cats and dogs, and since she had always lived there and hadn't encountered any danger, she wasn't very vigilant and didn't even realize she was being secretly photographed.

Various marketing accounts claimed with absolute certainty that she paid paparazzi to secretly photograph Xie Weiwei and Director Zhang, and that Gu Yan's words at the club were also a setup by her to extract information.

Jian Ning was speechless.

If she were really that amazing, why would she have played supporting roles with only a few minutes of screen time? Why would she have left the entertainment industry? She could have just played leading roles and become an emperor emeritus.

This revelation is obviously fake.

Those comments from online trolls trying to stir up trouble are easy to spot.

Fortunately, many smart bystanders were not swayed by the rumors and realized that it was a deliberate attempt to smear her.

I don't know which idiots would believe such fake news.

Just as Jian Ning was wondering how to handle this, her phone rang again.

Her daily life is almost entirely devoid of people; she communicates with the outside world solely by phone.

This time it's—a guy who gives you money but has no feelings for you.

As soon as Jian Ning answered the phone, Xie Zheng's furious voice came through: "Jian Ning, did you know that Weiwei attempted suicide today and was hospitalized?"

Jian Ning replied truthfully, "Yes, I know. I saw the news online."

Hearing her calm and composed voice, Xie Zheng became even angrier and said in a deep voice, "Come to the hospital. I've already sent a driver to pick you up."

"Now the whole internet knows that she and Gu Yan cheated on me. Xie Weiwei cheated on me, and I even went to visit her in the hospital? Don't I feel ashamed enough? Are you okay?" Jian Ning finished speaking and hung up the phone.

Less than two seconds after I hung up, Xie Zheng called again.

Jian Ning frowned and answered the call: "I've made myself clear enough."

"Two million, I'll have my assistant transfer it to you!" Xie Zheng has managed companies for many years and has seen too many people. He knows exactly how to deal with different kinds of people and how to handle them.

Jian Ning was truly completely controlled by his money.

No one ever thinks they have too much money. Two million more gives you the confidence to lie down and focus on cultivating immortality.

It's just a hospital, not some kind of hellhole.

Jian Ning: "Okay, I'll do it."

Half an hour later, Jian Ning was taken to the hospital by Xie Zheng's assistant.

Xie Weiwei lives in a luxury single suite on the top floor.

Jian Ning was stopped by Xie Zheng at the door of the ward.

Xie Zheng glared at her angrily, about to speak but holding back, finally managing to utter, "You... sigh."

Mrs. Xie and the doctor came out of the ward. The doctor gave a few instructions, such as "Don't eat spicy food, and be careful not to have too much emotional fluctuation," and then left.

When Madam Xie saw Jian Ning, she rushed over to her.

The wolf's pounce startled Jian Ning, who quickly dodged to the side.

Madam Xie failed to catch Jian Ning; instead, she lost her balance and was caught by Xie Zheng.

Madam Xie's eyes were red as she pointed at Jian Ning, her voice trembling with tears as she accused her, "Are you determined to force Weiwei to her death?"

Jian Ning explained, "It wasn't me."

Madam Xie shouted hoarsely, "Who else could it be but you!"
