Chapter 437: Trying to manipulate public opinion

Sensational headlines, accompanied by groundless so-called "insider revelations", spread like a virus on the Internet.

The content directly points out that Chi Wenyan is hypocritical. He creates a perfect image of loving his wife and protecting his family on the outside, but in fact he mentally controls his wife Ji Wan and has a bad attitude towards the servants in the house. This led to the psychological distortion of the confinement nanny Xiaoya and her extreme behavior.

The spearhead was ultimately directed at Chi Wenyan's character and the reputation of the Chi Group.

"What a bunch of bastards." Zhao Xiyue looked at the disgusting words on the phone screen, shaking with anger. "How dare they throw mud like that! Xiaoya is clearly the one with the mental disorder, so how can it be said that Wen Yan is pua her?"

Ji Wan sat nearby, her face icy and her eyes frighteningly sharp. She had just experienced the horror of losing her child, and now, seeing these slanderous lies that twisted right and wrong, what surged in her chest wasn't sadness, but raging rage.

Not only did they hurt her children, they also destroyed her family and trampled on her husband's reputation.

"They are not coming for Xiaoya, they are coming for Chi Wenyan and the Chi family."

Ji Wan's voice was calm, yet it carried a chilling chill, "Someone wants to use this incident to bring him down."

Zhao Xiyue looked at her suddenly: "You mean...Chi Wenyan's rival?"

Ji Wan didn't answer, but the cold light in his eyes said it all.

She picked up her phone and swiped it quickly with her fingertips. Looking at the vicious comments and the declining popularity of topics related to the Chi Group, her heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand.

Chi Wenyan must be under tremendous pressure.

Sure enough, the phone vibrated. It was Chi Wenyan calling.

"Wanwan." His voice was filled with a subtle hint of fatigue, but still steady. "Did you see what happened online?"

"Yeah." Ji Wan responded.

"Don't look at it, and don't believe it. I'll take care of it." Chi Wenyan's tone was soothing, "You have a good rest, Yaoyao..."

"Yaoyao and I are fine." Ji Wan interrupted him, his voice unusually firm, "Wen Yan, I won't hide behind you this time."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, and then Chi Wenyan responded in a low voice: "Wanwan, this matter is very complicated, and the opponent is very insidious."

"I know." Ji Wan took a deep breath, his fingertips turning slightly white from the force. "But they are attacking our entire family. I can't let them succeed. I'm not only Yaoyao's mother, but also your wife and a member of the Chi family."

Her words were powerful and had an unprecedented force.

Chi Wenyan was silent for a while, then he chuckled softly. That chuckle was filled with relief and a hint of warmth: "Okay. I'll listen to you."

After hanging up the phone, Ji Wan immediately looked at Zhao Xiyue: "Xiyue, do me a favor."

Zhao Xiyue looked at the fighting spirit burning in her eyes and nodded heavily: "Go ahead!"

"Help me contact a stylist, the best one." Ji Wan stood up, his eyes burning. "There's a charity dinner tonight. Originally, Wen Yan didn't want me to go, but now, I have to go."

Zhao Xiyue's eyes lit up, and she instantly understood her intention: "You want to... make a public appearance and dispel the rumors?"

"Yes." Ji Wan walked to the window, looked at the clear sky outside, and a cold arc appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Didn't they say that he was using PUA to pua me and that we were not getting along? Then I will let them see how 'discord' we are!"

That night, the star-studded charity dinner was filled with spotlights flashing non-stop.

Just as the red carpet ceremony was coming to an end, a black Rolls-Royce slowly stopped.

The car door opened, and Chi Wenyan, wearing a well-tailored black suit, with an upright posture and a stern face, got out first.

Just when everyone thought he would enter alone, he turned around and extended his hand gracefully.

A slender white hand rested on his palm, and then Ji Wan's figure appeared in front of everyone.

She was wearing a moon-white off-shoulder long dress, which made her skin look whiter than snow. Her long hair was tied up, revealing her graceful swan neck. Her face had delicate makeup on and her eyes were clear and firm.

She is no longer the slightly haggard mother who spends all day around her children, but the radiant and powerful Mrs. Chi.

Ji Wan's hand naturally held Chi Wenyan's arm, and a gentle and bright smile bloomed on her face. The smile reached her eyes, showing complete trust and dependence on the man beside her.

Chi Wenyan turned his head and looked at her with eyes full of tenderness. He leaned over slightly and whispered something in her ear. Ji Wan's cheeks turned slightly red and she hit him lightly, but her angry eyes were full of sweetness.

This scene was clearly captured by all the cameras present.

Reporters swarmed in.

"Mr. Chi, what is your response to the rumors about your private life on the Internet?"

"Mrs. Chi, is there any problem in your relationship with Mr. Chi as the rumors say?"

"Boss Chi, what is the truth behind the confinement nanny incident?"

Chi Wenyan stopped and glanced sharply at the reporters in front of him. He didn't say anything, but just held Ji Wan's hand tighter.

Ji Wan raised her head and faced the flashes of light and inquiring gazes. The smile on her face remained unchanged, but her tone was clear and powerful.

"I think you've all seen the true nature of my relationship with my husband. As for those nonsense, they're just clown tricks trying to destroy our family and shake the Chi family's foundation. But I can clearly tell those hiding in the dark that your conspiracy will not succeed."

She paused, her eyes falling on Chi Wenyan's face, her eyes as gentle as water: "I know best what kind of person my husband is. He loves me, loves our children, and loves this family. Anyone who tries to hurt him or our family with lies and slander, I, Ji Wan, will never agree!"

After saying that, she ignored the reporters' questions, took Chi Wenyan's hand, held her head high, and walked into the banquet hall with an elegant posture.

What was left behind was a sea of flashing lights and the shocked and bewildered expressions of the reporters.

Those vicious rumors instantly became pale and vulnerable in the face of the tacit and loving interaction between the couple and Ji Wan's resounding response.

The Internet exploded instantly.

The scene of Chi Wenyan and Ji Wan appearing hand in hand at the charity dinner last night was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, causing a thousand ripples.

The headlines of major media platforms were quickly grabbed, and high-definition photos and video clips flooded the headlines.

"The perfect moment! President Chi and his wife make a loving appearance, dispelling rumors of divorce!"

"Ji Wan is in excellent shape, her aura is fully on display, and she still looks like the goddess she once was!"

"Boss Chi's eyes are doting, and the details are so sweet! Is this called 'discord'?"

"Ji Wan domineeringly defended her husband: I know my man best! The rumors will be refuted!"
