Chapter 633 No Light Bulb

Wen Jue's words reminded the others. The young girl, whose cousin's family owned a newspaper, seemed to have thought of something and frowned, saying, "What you said reminds me of a few things my cousin once said to me."

"What did you say?"

"Isn't his family the owner of a newspaper company? I found that newspaper in their storage room. My cousin was right next to me at the time, and he looked really strange when he saw it. He told me to mind my own business. He wouldn't even let me take it out, like... he was worried about people bringing up the past."

The little girl's words immediately drew everyone's attention: "Why would he worry about that? Could it be that he knew from the beginning...?"

"If you knew all that, why did you publish such misleading news? Are you resorting to any means to generate buzz?"

The little girl exclaimed, "My cousin isn't that kind of person!"

The boy who spoke realized he had gone too far and said awkwardly, "Don't misunderstand, I... I didn't mean that."

The girl rolled her eyes at him and voiced her guess: "Now that I think about it carefully, my cousin's attitude at the time was indeed a bit off. It didn't seem like he was guilty; he was probably more worried."

"What are you worried about?"

"I'm worried that I might accidentally get into big trouble."

Wen Jue and the others weren't stupid either. They were taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, their eyes narrowing slightly: "You mean..."

“Hmm.” The girl nodded. “I suspect that this matter back then probably involved more than just those two girls; it may also be related to some big shot.”

The room fell into a deathly silence as soon as the girl said this.

If it were simply a case of someone being murdered while saving someone and then being falsely accused, they would only need to think about how to find more evidence to clear Lu Zheyan's name.

However, if they are involved with someone they cannot afford to offend, they are not afraid of themselves, but they worry that their recklessness will implicate their family and clan.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the room froze, and the people gathered inside remained silent for a long time.

At this moment, Ye Wanxi had already gotten into the car with Feng Tianyu, preparing to go back and continue packing her luggage.

As soon as they got in the car, Feng Tianyu, who had been mostly silent, spoke up first: "Are you really going to let them handle it themselves?"

"Um."

I thought you would help people to the end.

Ye Wanxi's eyes flickered slightly. That was indeed her original plan, but before that, she received a call from Wen Yuan.

"She hopes to use this incident to give her younger brother a chance to learn and grow."

This was a sudden idea that Wen Yuan had after confirming that her younger brother was not in any danger.

The Wen family has only two children in this generation. Although Wen Jue is young, he is the heir carefully cultivated by the family.

But she was too meticulous, which made the child both shrewd and impulsive, and also too naive.

This is clearly not enough for a future leader of a company.

"Ultimately, this is a man-made thing. What they need to do is to reverse public opinion and change the public's preconceived notions about a person. It's very difficult to do this, but it's precisely because it's difficult that it's necessary to make the effort. Wen Jue, his friends, and their parents can't support them forever. Children have to grow up eventually, otherwise they'll never grow up."

In Wen Yuan's view, this incident is an opportunity.

In fact, they had already found far more information than the children had found before.

That's why they knew the truth earlier than Wen Jue and the others, and they were more curious about what judgments and choices these children would make in the face of these entanglements that would inevitably accompany them for most of their lives.

In the past, Ye Wanxi might not have been willing to go through all this trouble with Wen Yuan, but now...

"I always feel like I owe her something."

Wen Yuan was the first person Ye Wanxi met after she traveled back in time, and also one of the people she unexpectedly owed a debt to.

Whether it was Li Qinyan or her, even if it wasn't her intention, it's a fact that someone used her body to cause harm to them.

Therefore, during her time back, she has done her best to make it up to them.

Wen Yuan's request wasn't unreasonable, and Ye Wanxi hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

Upon hearing her words, Feng Tianyu recalled the information he had previously investigated regarding Wen Yuan's fate, and his eyes flickered.

He secretly plotted that since his junior sister wanted to compensate this family, he would have Guan Xianshi keep a close eye on these brats and secretly give them a hand if necessary, so that they wouldn't mess things up like headless flies.

Ye Wanxi didn't want to dwell on this matter, so she changed the subject: "Are you coming with me tomorrow, or...?"

A glint flashed in Feng Tianyu's eyes as he smiled faintly and said, "I have some things to take care of tomorrow morning, so I might be a little late."

Ye Wanxi was somewhat surprised: "Is it troublesome? Do you need my help?"

"No need, it'll be resolved quickly. I'll come find you as soon as it's over."

Hearing him say that, Ye Wanxi didn't insist: "Alright then, I'll go first. You can come back after you've finished your business. No need to rush."

"Um."

When Gao Min learned that Feng Tianyu hadn't gone to the first episode with Ye Wanxi, she couldn't help but worry: "Could it be that he backed out at the last minute and is too scared to go?"

Ye Wanxi chuckled: "How could that be?"

Her senior brother had been preparing for this show for a long time, even more eager than she was to accept the show. How could he possibly stand her up at the last minute?

What's giving her a headache right now is: "Can you two both stay home? I'm only going out for two days this time, it's really inconvenient to take you with me. It's only for two days, so just stay home and wait for me, I promise I'll be back on time, okay?"

Upon hearing Ye Wanxi's words, the little rabbit immediately bristled, its claws gripping Ye Wanxi's trouser leg tightly, refusing to let go.

Don't think it doesn't know that its little master is going out with his big master for some alone time, and doesn't want them, the two third wheels, anymore!

A few days ago, it heard from its little master's senior brothers that the little master would be eating, sleeping and living with the big master this time, and doing everything together.

Although it only lasts two days, quantitative changes can easily lead to qualitative changes.

The master was shameless to begin with, and loved to compete for favor with these weak, helpless, and pitiful little ones.

If we really let them enjoy their time together, will they still have a place in this house when their little master comes back?

Compared to the little rabbit's "reasonable argument", the little black dog was unusually silent, only staring at Ye Wanxi with its wet black eyes, which made Ye Wanxi feel even more guilty.

Seeing that the little rabbit wouldn't listen to reason, Gao Min simply bent down, picked it up, and violently suppressed it.

That young couple went out to show off their love, do you think you'd make us a harmonious family of three if you went along? No, you'd just be a glaring third wheel!
