This situation didn’t seem to affect Wen Nian much. She had a solid understanding of Jiang Chun’s character. Instead of getting angry, she decided to focus on working through more sets of questions.

However, as Wen Nian was immersed in her studies, her WeChat began to vibrate repeatedly. Despite the notifications, she resisted the urge to check her phone. There were still unanswered questions from the previous day, and time was running out. She needed to push herself harder.

Only after the class ended did Wen Nian finally glance at her phone. At that moment, Sun Ying approached her, tapping her phone on the table to get Wen Nian’s attention.

“Why haven’t you looked at your phone?” Sun Ying appeared concerned. “This is as urgent as someone who has their eyebrows burned. Why are you still working on those questions?”

“Whose eyebrows were burned?” Wen Nian held a positive view of Sun Ying, recalling that in her previous life, Sun Ying had also attended the police academy and embodied a strong sense of justice.

Sun Ying sighed as she unlocked her phone, but before she could open the page, Zhou Bei hurried over.

“Wen Nian, you’ve got to see this. Can you believe it? Are these your uncle and aunt? It’s infuriating!”

Only then did Wen Nian access the news page on her phone. An article featuring an interview with Wen Xun and Li Ke caught her attention.

Reporter: Has Chairman Wei Feng consistently looked after the Wen family? Is there a close relationship between the Wei family and the Wens?

Wen Xun: Certainly. In my father’s final years, Old Mr. Wei would visit him nearly every week. Sadly, my father couldn’t hold on for more years.

Reporter: Does the Wei family treat Wen Nian well? I heard that she and the Wei family were originally engaged?

Reporter: Has the Wei family treated Wen Nian well? We heard that she was initially engaged to a member of the Wei family?

Reporter: “Do you agree that Wen Nian shouldn’t sue Wei Lai?”

Wen Xun: “The Wei family has done so much for us. They ultimately covered my father’s funeral expenses. What’s the sense in siblings fighting? Must they be so heartless? Wen Nian is truly excessive. She’s still so young. Is her life going to be ruined?”

Li Ke: Absolutely, absolutely. Wen Nian has consistently been ungrateful. She’s an ingrate.

Reporter: “Did you know that the Wei family gave one million yuan to Wen Nian’s family?”

Wen Xun: A million? What million?

Li Ke: So she received a million yuan and she’s still pressing charges? Can she be any more shameless?

The interview clip concluded abruptly. The article essentially painted Wen Nian as a fame-hungry celebrity who was suing Wei Lai for attention.

She showed herself as a righteous champion of justice when she was really motivated by greed for money and popularity.

Moreover, reporters had interviewed neighbors from around the Wen family’s old home, most of whom recounted how Wei Feng had been kind to the Wens, which turned public sentiment even further in his favor. Although no one directly criticized Wen Nian, the public sentiment was clearly leaning against her.

Within hours, this news piece became a hot topic. Some busybodies managed to unearth a receipt indicating a one million yuan transfer from Wei Feng, addressed to “Wen Xing.” However, the date of the transaction wasn’t disclosed.

Netizens who didn’t know the truth thought that Wen Nian must have taken the Wei family’s money and sued Wei Lai for popularity.

A few media outlets were even paid to post a video of Wei Lai crying at the entrance of the police station and pleading for Wen Nian’s forgiveness. In the video, Wen Nian was very cold and even had a mocking expression on her face.

Netizens swarmed Wen Nian’s social media accounts with comments soon after.

“Wen Nian, step up and clear the air. Did you really accept money from the Wei family?”

“Is this even possible? She accepted the money and is suing a young girl? Isn’t that going too far?”

“The Wei family supported your grandfather’s funeral. They looked after your family for so long, yet you repay them with ingratitude. How despicable.”

“I must have been blind to have liked you. Clearly, you’re a master at acting. Unbelievable!”

While there were a few netizens expressing skepticism, they were swiftly drowned out by a flood of comments from online influencers and propaganda accounts.

Wen Nian read these comments with a smile. She had been planning to look into the situation surrounding her family’s past, but it seemed someone had saved her the trouble. Who would have thought that this foolish individual would inadvertently bring up old events? Instead of causing trouble, this individual had helped her.

In the study of the Wei family mansion, Wei Feng was seething with anger. He grabbed his phone and dialed a number.

“Get rid of all the trending topics related to this incident and delete any content connected to it! I don’t care what methods you employ!”

Clenching his teeth, he continued, “Find out who’s behind this.. You’ve got two hours!”
