Episode 161: The Impact of Family Ties

The impact of family ties

The siblings share a deep bond, but jealousy secretly arises.

After a series of thrilling events, Ah Yu and Lin Wanqing finally confirmed their sibling relationship. The revelation of this truth seemed to inject a powerful force into the emotional bond between them, making their relationship even deeper.

Sunlight filtered through dappled leaves, casting dappled patterns on the park path. Ah Yu and Lin Wanqing strolled side-by-side, their faces beaming with warm smiles. They reminisced about their childhood, memories long forgotten, now rekindled and precious testaments to their familial bond. Lin Wanqing gently took Ah Yu's arm, her eyes filled with reliance and trust. "Little brother," she said, "after all these years, finally being able to recognize you feels like a dream." Ah Yu smiled and replied, "Sister, we'll never be apart again. I'll always protect you."

However, their growing familial bond was like a sharp thorn, deeply wounding Gu Yanting's heart. In his twisted inner world, the flames of jealousy burned fiercely. Gu Yanting had always harbored special feelings for Lin Wanqing, and now, seeing her so intimate with A Yu, his resentment intensified. He sat alone in his dimly lit office, his hand gripping the wine glass tightly, his knuckles white. "Why does he get Wanqing's love? I'm the one who deserves her the most!" Gu Yanting muttered through gritted teeth, his eyes flashing with a crazed light.

Secretly spying, the conspiracy begins to unfold

To sabotage the relationship between Ah Yu and Lin Wanqing, Gu Yanting secretly began to spy on them. A group of highly trained private detectives followed Ah Yu and Lin Wanqing like ghosts. Whether they went to a restaurant or shopped at a mall, those eyes hidden in the shadows were always watching them closely.

One day, Ah Yu and Lin Wanqing went to a coffee shop. They sat by the window, enjoying a moment of peace. Unbeknownst to them, in the car opposite, a private investigator was recording their every move through a telephoto lens. Ah Yu gently handed Lin Wanqing a piece of cake, smiling and saying, "Sis, try this, it's your favorite flavor." Lin Wanqing took the cake, took a small bite, and smiled happily. This heartwarming scene, however, prompted the detective hiding in the shadows to speed up his photography.

Meanwhile, Gu Yanting sat anxiously in his office, awaiting news. When he received the photos from the detective, he saw Ah Yu and Lin Wanqing's intimate pose and angrily smashed his phone against the wall. "Hmph, since you're so happy, I'll make sure you don't have time to laugh." A sinister glint flashed in Gu Yanting's eyes, and a vicious conspiracy began to take shape in his mind.

Malicious smear campaign, media storm

Gu Yanting decided to use public opinion to damage A Yu and Lin Wanqing's reputation. He used his connections in the media to bribe some unscrupulous media outlets. A series of distorted reports began circulating online. These reports portrayed A Yu and Lin Wanqing's sibling relationship as an improper one, and fabricated various unsavory rumors, claiming that they colluded for mutual benefit.

A storm of online criticism erupted against Ayu and Lin Wanqing. Unaware of the truth, netizens flooded the comments section with abusive remarks and vicious insults. Lin Wanqing stared at the appalling comments on her phone, tears welling in her eyes. "Why are you doing this to us? We're just ordinary siblings!" Ayu gripped Lin Wanqing's hand tightly, comforting her, "Sister, don't be sad. These are just rumors. We'll get through this."

However, public pressure intensified. Lin Wanqing's work was severely affected; her company received numerous complaints demanding her dismissal. Ayu also faced immense difficulties, as some of his business partners wavered in their commitment to the partnership after seeing the reports. Faced with this sudden and malicious smear campaign, Ayu and Lin Wanqing were plunged into a deep predicament.

Facing difficulties, upholding family ties

Faced with the storm of public opinion, Ayu and Lin Wanqing did not back down. They decided to work together to prove their innocence with the facts. Ayu traveled extensively, collecting evidence to prove their sibling relationship, including birth certificates and testimonies from family elders. Lin Wanqing bravely stepped forward to give interviews to various media outlets, telling their true story.

In an interview, Lin Wanqing's eyes shone with determination as she said, "Ayu and I are siblings, that's an indisputable fact. Those rumors were fabricated by people with ulterior motives, and we will not be defeated by these false statements." However, some media outlets bribed by Gu Yanting published her interview out of context, making the public opinion situation even more severe.

During this difficult time, the bond between Ah Yu and Lin Wanqing became their source of strength. They encouraged and comforted each other, facing external pressures together. Although life became exceptionally tough, their belief never wavered. "Sister, no matter what, we must believe that the truth will eventually come to light," Ah Yu said firmly. Lin Wanqing nodded slightly, "Yes, little brother, let's persevere together."

An unexpected turn of events, the truth gradually comes to light.

Just when Ah Yu and Lin Wanqing were feeling hopeless, an unexpected turning point occurred. An old maid who had once worked for their family stepped forward. This old maid knew everything about their family's affairs, and she was well aware of the true relationship between Ah Yu and Lin Wanqing. The old maid found a media outlet with a sense of justice, told them the truth, and provided some valuable evidence.

After thorough investigation and verification, the media outlet decided to reveal the truth. A report titled "The Truth Revealed: The Real Sibling Relationship Between Ah Yu and Lin Wanqing" quickly spread online. The report detailed Ah Yu and Lin Wanqing's family background and the process of their reunion, effectively refuting the previous malicious rumors.
