For example, a user named “Can't Do Anything" commented, “Erica gave birth to her child before she was married to Matthew. She didn't cheat on her husband. It's the 21st century, and she's a grown-up. She isn't a harlot; she just met the wrong guy. Why are you all cursing her? Is there any guarantee that the man you meet in your life is the right one?"
Erica only had a few thousand followers on her Weibo account. But that particular comment had more than a hundred thousand likes, and it soon reached two hundred thousand.
Erica felt warmth flow through her. She recognized this user name.
Since Erica was an active user of Weibo, she frequently updated her posts. This user, Can't Do Anything, made sure to like all her posts.
Sometimes, he would comment too.
He was Like a gentle, loving elder brother who protected her from the predators.
She wanted to know his real identity, but she didn't find any clues in his Weibo account. It seemed that he also gave likes to posts on military, finance or patriotism.
She was deep in thought when her ringtone pulled her back into reality.
It was Rhea.
Erica answered the phone.
“I'm so sorry, Rhea! I forgot to reply to your message." Before she could text Rhea back, she was pulled in by the news headlines about Matthew that had popped up on her notifications.
She was so engrossed in the news that she had completely forgotten to reply to Rhea's message.
“Never mind that. Erica, how's everything going? Is the news on the
Internet true?" Rhea asked anxiously.
“No, no. The news is absurd. Matthew went out last night because his friend had a car accident. He's in critical condition now. The woman in the photo is his friend's wife. She only came out of the hospital to receive Matthew. The media made up a story about an affair out of it."
Erica felt sorry for Matthew as she recounted what had happened. He was innocent, yet had to go through all this.
“Is that so? Oh, I'm relieved. I thought he found a mistress to insult you on your wedding night! If the news were to be true, I wouldn't have been his fan anymore. I'm glad to know that he's not such a bad guy after all!"
“He's a famous figure in the society. His every move is under watch."
“But some of these netizens are really vicious. How are you able to tolerate their comments? Aren't you going to tell everyone about Feb's true identity?" Few people knew about Feb‘'s real identity. As Erica's best friend, Rhea knew.
“Why should I tell the public about him? It's none of their business."
Her parents were the only ones who had the right to scold her for being irresponsible. She didn't understand why the others bothered.
Just like what the user Can't Do Anything had said, she didn't have an affair after her wedding. Why were so many people badmouthing her? Did she look like a pushover?
“Fine, but what about Mr. Matthew? Did you tell him the truth about
Feb?" Rhea was really worried about her friend.
“No. He is just my nominal husband. He doesn't Love me, and neither do
