Chapter 286: Public Opinion Storm

Throughout the video, Zhao Qin spoke with tears streaming down her face, appearing as a heartbroken and desperate victim.

Anyone who knows the truth would be moved to tears upon reading this.

Why doesn't Zhao Qin debut?

If she had debuted back then, what chance would He Jiayu have had as a film queen? Even today, she would be a formidable rival to any acting powerhouse.

As people get older and develop osteoporosis, their ability to distort the truth and spread rumors only gets better.

At the end of the video, surveillance footage was also shown of Wen Jin going to her mother's house to ask for the gold lock that her mother had left her.

break off both ends.

All that remained were Wen Jin's aggressive words and Tan Guohao's feigned attempts to persuade him.

Even now, your uncle's family is struggling financially. The effort we've put into raising you is immeasurable.

What do you want to take from your uncle now? He spent a lot of money raising you. Your success wouldn't have been possible without your aunt and uncle's care, would it? You can't repay kindness with enmity.

...

Wen Jinye has such a good public image.

She even appears on camera to interview at many government events.

In addition, she had already accumulated a certain number of fans online some time ago due to He Jiayu's "like" scandal involving a mistress and her good looks.

Therefore, the video that Zhao Qin posted on social media attracted a lot of attention.

Wen Jin was once again thrust into the spotlight.

There's been a lot of discussion online, with everyone expressing their own opinions.

[Once again, I truly believe in the meaning of a femme fatale; you can know a person's face but not their heart.]

It's normal for public figures to have negative public opinion, but why is someone so insignificant constantly embroiled in controversies? As the saying goes, flies don't land on eggs without cracks; if you don't want people to know, don't do it in the first place.

[Doesn't anyone find this person terrifying? The CCTV footage clearly shows it's Xia Tian from her clothing. Why wasn't this released sooner, given that something happened in Xia Tian? Besides, reporter Wen is currently with Hong Kong's bigwigs. What does that mean? Money is just a number to them. If they're unwilling to give them money under these circumstances, shouldn't they seriously consider what heinous things the other party has done?]

[I won't be online with a bunch of people who can change their minds like this. I'm choosing neutral this time; I'll think about it later if I'm unsure.]

Oh my god, is this my reward for staying up late? There's more juicy gossip.

[Make way, make way! I'm as ruthless as Bao Zheng (a famous judge in Chinese history), so I'll say something fair. Just by looking at their faces, I can tell who's right and who's wrong, okay? Reporter Wen is right.]

Please call me to get some water whenever I see this, thank you.

Of course, such excitement wouldn't be complete without He Jiayu's die-hard, mindless fans.

[We've been tricked! It turns out my sister was right to speak up for us!]

[Reply: Upstairs, your sister's house is already a complete rubble, okay?]

After Wen Jin went home and took a shower, her phone kept ringing.

The Weibo backend system seemed to have exploded.

Just two days ago, she shared a blog post about supporting the Anti-Animal Cruelty Law and called on everyone to do the same.

I thought it was that post that suddenly attracted attention again, but when I opened Weibo, I found out that I had been pushed into the eye of the storm again.

The woman's delicate eyebrows gradually furrowed as the video played.

I'm starting to have a hard time figuring out what that abstract family surnamed Tan is up to.

Tan Guohao had just seen him that afternoon.

Even if Zhao Qin wanted to cause trouble and use this as leverage, she shouldn't have done it at this time.

This is tantamount to openly tearing off the mask; it's either the fish dies or the net breaks.

Besides, given Zhao Qin's personality, shouldn't she have come to me first to say some harsh words?

And throwing a tantrum on TV is more in line with her style.

Who is instigating her from behind the scenes?

*

At this time, in the Tan family's temporary, dilapidated residence.

Tan Guohao slapped Zhao Qin to the ground.

He was so angry he was practically spitting fire, and saliva sprayed from his mouth with his loud voice.

"You bitch, are you trying to ruin my plans? Didn't I warn you not to make any rash moves? What are you doing?"

Zhao Qin covered her swollen face, stunned and seeing stars.

After realizing what had happened, she yelled sharply, "Tam Kwok-ho! How dare you hit me like that?"

"I want to beat you to death!" Tan Guohao pointed at Zhao Qin's nose and cursed, "What good will it do you to provoke Wen Jin like this? No one knows right from wrong better than you! If she clarifies things, not only will you personally sacrifice yourself to help her rise to a higher position, but you won't get a single penny of money! Do you still want to save your son?"

"You're the one who doesn't want to save your son, aren't you? Your son's life hangs in the balance outside, and you still have the leisure to drink coffee with Wen Jin? What? Are you going to kneel down and beg her for mercy?"

Zhao Qin scrambled to her feet, her hair disheveled and her face contorted in a grimace. "All of this I did was to save my son! Wen Jin is no longer the same person she used to be! You can threaten and intimidate her, but she has her lover backing her up; she's not afraid of you at all! Only when a knife is plunged into her own flesh will she know the pain!"

"Those kinds of wealthy families are most afraid of scandals! And journalists are most afraid of rumors! The truth doesn't matter at all. What matters is that I can ruin her!"

He Jiayu told her all of this.

As things escalate, Wen Jin herself will become restless and find her to shut her up.

This puts the initiative in their hands.

Moreover, every time she followed He Jiayu, He Jiayu would send her a sum of money.

The 500,000 yuan from the video she posted has already been deposited into her account.

Zhao Qin truly saw tangible benefits.

Unlike Tan Guohao, who is a good-for-nothing and can only passively wait here.

Zhao Qin was completely immersed in her own world.

Tan Guohao was momentarily stunned by her sharp words.

You had a moment of doubt.

But reason prevailed: "What good will it do us if you ruin her? Who's going to give you four million?"

He took the necklace out of his pocket. "Do you know that this necklace can be exchanged for four million from Wen Jinye? It's his mother's keepsake, and it might be related to her background. Wen Jinye can't possibly be indifferent to it."

Tan Guohao scratched his sparse hair in frustration.

When Wen Jinye left this afternoon, her expression clearly showed that she was moved.

But Zhao Qin's meddling ruined everything.

Tan Guohao could only hope that the matter had not spread widely and had not reached the ears of the bigwig behind Wen Jinye.

Otherwise, if they really break up because of this, everything will be ruined.

"Delete that video right now!"

Zhao Qin sneered, "There's no turning back now! Tan Guohao, I'd do anything for my son's life! You can't bring yourself to do it, but I can!"

Seeing her stubbornness, Tan Guohao raised his hand to slap her again.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Qin pushed him away this time.

Caught off guard, Tan Guohao stumbled and dropped the necklace from his hand.

Zhao Qin picked it up disdainfully. "Would Wen Jin give you money for this piece of junk? If she really wanted to, she wouldn't have considered it; she's just keeping you hanging on!"

To prevent Tam Kwok-ho from ruining her plans again.

Zhao Qin simply rushed into the bathroom and threw the necklace into the toilet.

With the sound of flowing water.

The necklace was swept away by the current.

A note from the author.

Once the female lead's backstory is covered, and the bad guys all get their comeuppance, the male and female leads' storyline will officially end.

I know everyone is in a hurry, and I am a little too, but I still want to write it down steadily.

To be honest, I feel a bit guilty because of work recently, and everyone noticed the superficial parts of what I wrote. So, it's very important that my core content remains stable.

Regarding the second female lead, I said from the beginning that I should read it as a stock market story. It wasn't to create suspense, but because I didn't know who it would be in the end.

As everyone says, both boys are charming, so I'll just follow the guidance of fate.

I really like the second female lead's personality. I even feel that Fu Yanjing's appearance caused a tsunami-like impact on Wen Jinye's world. It was spectacular. But the second female lead is the real sun.

That's all for now, see you tomorrow.

Goodnight everyone~
