nAfter Song Fengwan returned home, only then did she find out that this matter actually arose because of her.
nThe police had brought the group of students back to the police station. After a round of questioning, the students involved said that they fought because they didn’t like Xu Jingcheng, but some of the students said that it was over a girl.
nAfter multiple investigations, the only girl who was involved with both parties was Song Fengwan.
nThe police naturally had to go and investigate her. They didn’t find her at the atelier, so they waited at Fu Chen’s doorstep.
nWhen Song Fengwan found out about the reason, she was dumbfounded.
nHer face was just like bok choy in the winter, listless and miserable.
n“Don’t be afraid. We just want to understand the situation and won’t bring you back to the station.” The police officers hurriedly comforted her.
n“Why don’t you two come in first?” Qiao Aiyun was also stunned for a while.
n“It’s alright. Since Miss Song isn’t aware of the situation, we won’t be going in. We still have something to do at the station, so we have to go back now.” How could they dare to sit in Third Master Fu’s house? Besides…
nFu Xinhan was sitting at the entrance, baring his teeth and looking fierce.
nHe was clearly a Shiba Inu, but he was forcing himself put on a fierce yet cute look, looking silly and stupid.
nBut they both knew that this dog had almost bitten Cheng Tianyi’s leg to the point that he became paralyzed, so they naturally didn’t dare to approach.
nThe moment the police left, Fu Xinhan immediately rushed to Song Fengwan’s side.
nHe pretended to be silly and stupid as though he knew nothing while acting cute and asking to be petted.
n***
nSong Fengwan had no idea that Cheng Tianyi was behind this matter, and she also didn’t know why they fought because of her. She went to bed without thinking further into it, but she didn’t expect the matter would completely blow up the next morning.
nThe fight happened after school, so the surroundings were full of students and parents at the time. Someone had recorded a video of the fight and posted it online, and public opinion was immediately stirred.
nFour of the students involved had exceptional family backgrounds.
nRich Second Generation Heirs, Student Fight, Fighting Over a Girl…
nThe media exaggerated their reports by focusing on some of the most eye-catching words.
nIn such cases, the girl would usually be described as a femme fatale, and some netizens even directed their arrows at her.
n“Could this girl have been found out to be two-timing and then…”
n“I saw a post saying that these rich second-generation heirs bully people everywhere because they’re rich. They’re ignorant and incompetent. How good could this girl be since she’s associated with them?”
n“I pity that boy. His grades were good, yet he was beaten up until he was hospitalized. I wonder if it’ll affect his college entrance examination. He’s so unlucky to be involved with such a girl.”
n…
nThe matter was settled at the police station that night, and the students were all brought home by their parents. But the controversy didn’t stop, and it was unknown who had reported Song Fengwan’s name to the media.
nIn just one night, news reports about her flooded the internet.
nEven the Song family and Fu family were involved.
nAristocratic Sisters Fighting Over A Man
nHeiress Had Engagement Annulled Due to Messy Private Life
nEntered Police Station on Multiple Occasions, Frames Biological Sister
n…
nEveryone mixed all the crazy melodramatic plots together and drew up all kinds of titles.
nEven regarding her broken engagement, they said that she had deserved it.
nThroughout this, Jiang Fengya was mentioned several times. Everyone seemed to have forgotten that she was an illegitimate daughter and instead sympathized a lot with her. Some even said that Song Fengwan’s personality had something to do with her mother, saying that it wasn’t a wonder why her husband couldn’t take it and cheated on her.
nAll sorts of brainless and stupid comments flooded the internet.
nAfter all, Song Fengwan was still underage, so the media didn’t dare to reveal her true identity and information. All the people in the new reports had aliases, and other surnames were used instead of Song and Fu. But the content in the reports were innuendoes, so it was easy for people in the same circle to guess who it was.
n***
nWhen Song Fengwan went downstairs in the morning and was about to go to school, she found that the atmosphere was unusual.
n“What’s the matter?” She was puzzled.
n“It’s been a little chaotic outside the past few days. I’ve helped you apply for leave and even found a teacher to come to the house to tutor you. Don’t go out for the time being.” Qiao Aiyun saw the news early in the morning and was so angry that her face turned pale.
n“What exactly is the matter?” Song Fengwan walked over and held her hand. “Mom, are you feeling unwell? Why do you look so pale?”
n“I’m fine. Go upstairs and rest after eating. The teacher will be here soon.” Qiao Aiyun’s phone kept ringing. She patted Song Fengwan’s head and turned around to answer the call.
nSong Fengwan absentmindedly ate some food and then went upstairs to her room. In order to study in peace, she had turned off all the app notifications on her phone.
nShe only wanted to browse Weibo for a bit, but she didn’t expect the headlines she saw the moment she opened the page to be about her. Her name wasn’t mentioned, but she knew that it was her.
nIt’s only been one night. How did I become the target of criticism?
nSome people used tricky and vicious words. Those unaware would’ve thought that she had dug up their cornfield.
nWhen she tried to refresh the webpage again, it no longer existed, and the search results for related words were also blank. If I hadn’t seen the reports with my own eyes just now, I would have thought that I was dreaming.
nNot long after, her phone vibrated.
n“Hello, Third Master.”
n“You answered the phone so quickly? Were you playing on your phone?”
n“I just happened to have it in my hand, so I answered.” Fu Chen must have seen the news since he’s calling at this time.
n“Everything’s been settled. Don’t be afraid.” His voice became increasingly gentler.
nSong Fengwan nodded. Fu Chen’s words instantly dispelled her anxious mood and calmed her down.
nShe just knew that there would definitely be no problems with Fu Chen handling it.
nBut there was no reason for this trust…
n***
nFu Chen hung up the phone and stared coldly at the bed. A certain someone was wrapped in a blanket and wiping his snot while calling his company’s upper management.
n“… How dare you publish such false reports? I’m going to be killed because of you guys sooner or later! You aren’t allowed to publish such gossip news in the future!”
nThe people on the other side were dumbfounded. They did entertainment media. What should they publish if they didn’t report gossip?
nThese kinds of feuds between wealthy families were both true and false. They had reported a lot of such things, so they didn’t think much about it before going with the wind. In the end, they were scolded harshly by their little boss early in the morning.
nA certain someone wiped his snot. “Let me tell you, if I die in a foreign land, don’t think that any of you will have a good life.”
nWith that, he hung up the phone and smiled fawningly at Fu Chen. “Brother Fu, I handled it pretty well, right? I’ve deleted everything clean.”
n“Wipe your nose clean.” Fu Chen looked at him with disdain. “It’s dirty.”
nA certain someone rubbed his nose. There was no snot. I was just taking a nap, and this guy almost tore my door down. He’s too f*cking brutal.
n“Cheng Lan is indeed worthy of being in the news industry. Her public opinion planning abilities are top-notch. She stepped on your little wife to clear someone else’s name. The two of them formed connections in private? They’re really birds of a feather!” He sniffed his nose.
nHe admired people who used their own abilities to make others stunned.
nBut playing tricks and stepping on others to climb up was just simply despicable.
nFu Chen rubbed the prayer beads in his hand. Instead of saying that they’re attacking Song Fengwan, it’s more like helping Jiang Fengya clear her name. The big show is probably just about to begin.
nWhen the man saw Fu Chen’s sinister smile, his back turned cold. “Brother Fu, erm… Can you get someone to help me fix the door? It’s kinda cold.”
n“If you don’t wake up the next time I call you, I might throw you out of the window along with your bed.”
nA certain someone was smiling on the surface but was secretly cursing Fu Chen in his heart.
nWe’re childhood friends, yet this fellow actually wants to make me fall to my death.
nHow ugly would that death be?
