Asked for Proof, Got Proof!

Zheng Xinxin was speechless. She hadn't known the marriage certificate was fake.

The moment Jiang Jingyin saw her expression, he relaxed. He casually flipped through the marriage certificate, then looked up with a sneer. "The woman in this photo isn't even you. What, you're here to claim family ties for your best friend?"

Zheng Xinxin stared at Jiang Jingyin in disbelief. Just looking at his smug, petty face made her furious.

Her face flushed red. "Jiang Jingyin, have you no shame? Minmin is standing right here!"

Jiang Jingyin glanced at Minmin, his eyes full of disgust. "So? You found some random kid who looks a little like me and came here to claim I'm his father?"

He scoffed. "Are you mentally unwell?"

"What do you mean?" Zheng Xinxin frowned. "If you've got the guts, take a paternity test with Minmin and prove your innocence."

"Tsk, you really are mentally unwell." Jiang Jingyin sneered, casually tossed the marriage certificate to the ground, and dusted off his hands as though he had thrown away a piece of trash.

He raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Zheng Xinxin with undisguised mockery. "The burden of proof falls on the accuser. Don't you understand that?"

Contempt filled Jiang Jingyin's eyes, as though his victory was already assured.

The fans visiting the set understood now, too. This woman was slandering their idol!

After the fan leader shouted a few curses from within the crowd, the mass of people grew restless and surged forward, violently breaking through the security guards and swarming over.

A few hotheaded fans immediately started livestreaming on Weibo, pointing their cameras at Zheng Xinxin as they confronted her. "Whose fan are you, anyway? Spreading rumors about our idol like this—have you no shame?"

Onlookers who had no idea what was going on flooded into the livestream.

Weibo wasn't populated solely by Jiang Jingyin's fans. There were plenty of ordinary users, too.

They had all come sniffing out drama, and comments raced across the screen.

[What happened, what happened? I'm holding in a shit to watch this! Don't disappoint me!]

[Can someone explain?]

[I need to know! What's the drama?? What happened?!]

[Someone's accusing Jiang Jingyin of secretly getting married and having a kid. She even brought a child with her.]

[Holy shit, who's that unhinged?]

"I'm spreading rumors about him?" Zheng Xinxin swatted away the phone almost shoved into her face, forced down her temper, and exhaled. "Why don't you ask what kind of reputation your idol had in college?"

"He used his looks to date several rich women at once, hoping they'd bankroll him, all while pursuing my best friend." Just bringing it up made Zheng Xinxin furious. "He even said they'd get married after graduation. And then what? He got her pregnant, gave her a fake marriage certificate, and thought that settled everything? Does he have no shame?"

"Do you have no shame?" The fan livestreaming picked up on her words and stepped forward, keeping her phone aimed at Zheng Xinxin's face. "This is the woman! She brought a fake marriage certificate to the set to make a scene and slander our Jingyin!"

Comments flooded the screen. Within minutes, more than ten thousand viewers had poured in.

[This is wild! She even went to the set??]

[Why are there so many lunatics in this fandom scene?? Ridiculous!]

[Jiang Jingyin was shady as hell before his debut. He signed with a good company and got a good PR team, and they buried it all.]

[You above, what would you know? Are you Jiang Jingyin's dad?]

[You above, it's obvious whose fan you are. Stop pretending to be a random bystander, okay? Dumbass.]

Hearing that, Zheng Xinxin decided she had nothing left to lose. "Fine. I'll show you exactly what kind of person your idol is!"

"Tell us yourself—what did you do on the night of October twenty-eighth?!" Unable to keep her voice down, Zheng Xinxin pointed at Jiang Jingyin.

"Xianxian came home crying! The hospital said she was pregnant, and she said she didn't know whose child it was!" As though something had suddenly occurred to her, Zheng Xinxin glanced at the camera and stopped, but she couldn't stop trembling.

She clenched her fists, then loosened them. Her eyes red, she demanded, "What exactly did you do to her?!"

Jiang Jingyin shrugged, looking utterly unconcerned. "I have no idea what you're talking about."

"Your friend slept around. Why are you asking Jingyin?" The fan leader sneered. "She didn't know whose baby it was? Then she must've slept with too many men."

"Exactly. What a slut!" the other fans chimed in.

"You're no better! And neither is this little bastard!" Someone behind them pointed at Minmin. "Calling any random man Dad—is he brain-damaged?"

The fan leader sneered. "He looks brain-damaged to me. All he does is cry. Take him to a hospital. Don't let him die here!"

The tide turned sharply against her, and the livestream viewers joined in.

[She even brought a little kid to put on an act. This woman is both stupid and vile!]

[Poor Jiang Jingyin, getting tangled up with trash like this.]

[She's pretty enough. Is she pretending to be an idiot?]

[Seriously, isn't this just some crazy woman having a meltdown?]

[Found it!]

Ning Shile suddenly cried out inwardly.

He had found Jiang Jingyin's alternate account. After scrolling through a few posts to make sure, he slowly crouched down and beckoned to Minmin.

Zheng Ye nudged Minmin and pointed at Ning Shile. Minmin bit his lip, then ran over with reddened eyes and whispered, "Big brother..."

"Sweetheart, take this to Auntie." Ning Shile stroked Minmin's head and handed him the phone.

Minmin nodded, took the phone, and ran over to Zheng Xinxin. Standing on tiptoe, he pushed it into her hand.

Zheng Xinxin glanced at it, her expression shifting slightly, then turned to look at Ning Shile.

Ning Shile smiled at her. His face was gentle and his eyes clear, but his smile held an enduring, unyielding strength.

[Don't be afraid. I'm here.]

Zheng Xinxin immediately found her courage. She lifted her head and quietly read the words on Weibo. "Today, Xianxian and I finally got together. She said she wanted to make an alternate account to record our life together, and I agreed. January 24, 2017."

Jiang Jingyin's expression changed abruptly.

Memories from years ago broke free and came flooding back, vivid as ever.

Shit. His scalp tightened. I forgot about that account!

"Today, Xianxian found out she was pregnant. She was scared, and so was I, so I made a decision: I'm going to marry her. June 3, 2019."

As she spoke, Zheng Xinxin glanced at Jiang Jingyin.

Jiang Jingyin instinctively avoided her gaze, panic in his eyes.

"The baby was born. From now on, the three of us will always be together. March 1, 2020." Zheng Xinxin opened the photo, enlarged it, and held up the phone.

"You all recognize the hand in this photo, don't you?" Zheng Xinxin looked at Jiang Jingyin, who instinctively hid his hands behind his back.

He couldn't have made his guilt more obvious. Zheng Xinxin sneered and continued, "The mole between this man's thumb and index finger—Jiang Jingyin has an identical one on his hand."

The fans looked at the photo, beginning to hesitate.

The hand really did look very much like Jiang Jingyin's.

Jiang Jingyin liked biting his nails. He had said it was a habit he'd had since childhood and couldn't break, so the skin around his nails was constantly inflamed, and his nails were somewhat misshapen.

The nails on the hand in the photo were also slightly misshapen, and even the mole between the thumb and index finger was exactly the same.

Could it really be Jiang Jingyin?

The livestream viewers erupted, too:

[I still think it's fake. For something this serious, surely his company would've done a background check?]

[But it really does look like his hand? That index fingernail is misshapen in exactly the same way as Jiang Jingyin's!]

[Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit @Little Rain @Brother Hua @Tomorrow Will Be Better @Fingertips @God of Wealth's Official Partner @Eight A.M. Warrior @Little Bunny @Little Creek Tower, guys! Get in here for the drama!!]

[You above, why didn't you tag me? Just because we don't know each other?]

Seeing things take a bad turn, the fan leader hurriedly spoke up. "You found a photo of a hand with a mole and now you're passing it off as our idol's? Aren't you taking this a little too far?"

Hearing that, Jiang Jingyin hurried to speak, stiffening his neck defiantly. "Exactly! What proof do you have that the person in that photo is me?!"
