Chapter 7



Wen's mother is extremely vain. Her mother's family was originally a wealthy family in Beijing. Later, after marrying Wen's father, who was also a "wealthy family", she found that the Wen family had long been on the decline, which was completely different from what she had imagined. She became increasingly frustrated and sensitive, and obsessed with money.

She was afraid that others would see through her true family background. Even when she was so poor that she could barely afford her daughter's tuition, she would still buy a few nice bags every year and buy a few sets of jewelry to save face. However, the Wen family's poverty was no longer a secret in the circle. After all, whether a family is truly wealthy is reflected in all aspects, and it cannot be fooled by a few bags and necklaces.

But Wen's mother turned a deaf ear to him and lived in her own world, pretending to be noble and rich. Little did she know that she had already become a laughing stock in the wealthy circle of the imperial capital. Whenever the rich wives gathered together, they would laugh at her openly or secretly.

This situation did not improve until Wen Qianqian entered the entertainment industry. After all, celebrities really make money, and Wen Qianqian takes on any job.

After accumulating for many years, Wen's mother unknowingly had a bag collection that filled nearly a wall, including some classic styles. If she really pawned them, they might be worth some money.

After Wen Qianqian finished speaking, she was too lazy to continue paying attention to Wen Bo, so she turned around and went back to the house, leaving him alone in the living room, feeling helpless and furious.

That evening, a post quietly went viral on the gossip forums: "A quick tip: a rich second-generation kid has suddenly gone bankrupt. He always thought he was rich, but ended up even defaulting on his school tuition. Tonight, he was publicly executed by the school, and the whole school is in shock."

Netizen 1: Which rich second generation? There are so many rich second generations, please give me a hint!

The original poster replied: ...Well, that’s the one you’re all very familiar with, the one who dates internet celebrities every day and changes girlfriends every month.

Netizen 2: OP, can you give me a code word? The one whose sister is a celebrity?

OP: Bingo, the above person is right.

Netizen 3: Damn, let me guess, are you talking about Weibo? Aren't they said their family is rich? Doesn't he take influencers to luxury stores every day? What's going on? How can he not even afford tuition?

Netizen 4: The original poster's information seems a bit fake. If it's really the person who broke the news, he can't be so poor. We've gossiped before that he has 6 or 7 sports cars and can't wait to take influencers out every month. Doesn't that cost money? I absolutely believe you when you say he's a bad guy, but it's ridiculous to say he has no money. Putting aside the fact that the Wen family is wealthy, his sister earns enough money, so how could she not have money for tuition?

Netizen 5: The Wen siblings are the worst of the worst. The sister makes bad movies to make a lot of money every day, and the brother spends all day drinking in bars and hanging out with internet celebrities. The two of them are always on the hot searches. It's really disgusting. Can they please pack up and get out together?

Many netizens didn't quite believe this revelation until one account lazily posted a picture: What's there to disbelieve? This was directly announced on the school's intranet. If you don't believe it, just take a look for yourself.

Everyone clicked on it out of curiosity, and saw the picture clearly displayed: List of students whose tuition fees are in arrears - Art Class 2, Wen Bo.

Netizens were immediately shocked:

[Holy crap, it really is him! I never expected that.]

[Hahahaha, this is so embarrassing. Chengyue Noble Academy has been running for so many years and no one has ever defaulted on tuition. Young Master Wen is the first one. Hahahaha, I'm embarrassed for him.]

Tuition is only 1 million. Didn't Master Wen claim that any sports car starts at 6 million? So you're a deadbeat for such a small sum? Hahahaha.

[I'm just looking for fun, waiting for the day when Master Wen is put on the credit report for failing to pay tuition.]

@Wen Qianqian, how come your brother got into such a big trouble, and you, as his older sister, don't do anything about it? 】

The internet was extremely lively, but Wen Qianqian was quietly reading civil service exam materials in her room, turning a deaf ear to everything else. However, things weren't so good for Wen Bo.

Originally, his unpaid tuition was known only to the school staff, but it had unexpectedly been leaked online, making it known to the entire internet. His friends had seen the gossip and were constantly messaging and calling him, feigning concern but actually just wanting to watch the fun, asking him what was wrong, but he didn't dare answer.

Because of this incident, his girlfriend, who he had been dating for half a month, called him desperately, but he felt guilty and didn't dare to answer. As a result, his girlfriend broke up with him.

Why? Why?!

Wen Bo frantically stormed around the room, unable to help but roar. Why had everything changed overnight? Why had his sister, who had always been submissive and resentful, suddenly stopped giving him money?

But he just thought so and didn't dare to cause trouble for Wen Qianqian again. He had already experienced the grappling technique today, and he didn't want to not get the money but break his calf first.

He called Wen's father and mother again and again, but unfortunately they were on a plane and had no cell phone signal, so they couldn't listen to him complain and vent his anger.

In anxiety, he opened his mobile phone and tried to divert his attention with trembling hands, but the whole Internet was laughing at him.

This was the first time in his life that Wen Bo encountered cyberbullying, and he felt like he was about to become depressed.

The next morning, Wen Qianqian had a good sleep, washed up, and went downstairs for breakfast.

"Good morning, miss. You got up early today." Aunt Di smiled at her, then diligently brought a table full of prepared breakfast, including lean meat porridge, steamed buns, fried dough sticks, soy milk, buns and sandwiches.

Wen Qianqian took it with a smile, picked up the lean meat porridge and took a sip. The porridge was cooked just right, the lean meat was soft and melted into the porridge, and the taste was very rich. She squinted her eyes happily.

Aunt Di’s cooking skills are very good. Wen Qianqian couldn’t help but think that if she left this home and still had any reluctance to leave, the only thing she would miss would be the food cooked by Aunt Di.

Aunt Di was also very happy to see her enjoying her meal. In her memory, Wen Qianqian rarely sat down to eat so comfortably. Most of the time, Wen's father, Wen's mother, and Wen Bo would sit together and eat first, leaving some leftovers for her, or simply not leaving any leftovers for her, saying, "Female star, eat less to maintain your figure."

Seeing Qianqian finish her bowl of porridge, Aunt Di asked with a smile, "Miss, would you like another bowl?"

Wen Qianqian wiped her mouth and smiled, "No, Aunt Di, I'm already very full."

Aunt Di nodded and couldn't help but murmur, "Miss, you are already very thin. There is no need to deliberately lose weight. From now on, just like today, you still have to eat breakfast."

"Well, okay." Wen Qianqian smiled, thought for a moment, and took out a stack of papers from behind her: "Aunt Di, last time I heard you say that your daughter is taking the civil service exam full-time. I downloaded some materials here, and there are also some formulas and methods I wrote myself. You can show them to her."

Aunt Di quickly took it and was a little surprised: "Miss, do you also know how to take the civil service exam?"

"Well, I don't know much," Wen Qianqian replied casually, "I hope it helps your daughter." After that, she turned and went upstairs.

Aunt Di flipped through the information in her hand and couldn't help muttering to herself: "Oh, the young lady is such a kind girl, it's a pity that she was born into such a family."

Wen Qianqian did not return to her room after going upstairs. She looked at the time and calculated the time when Wen's father and mother would come home. She paused and thought for a moment, then got up and went into Wen's father and mother's bedroom. She scanned the room back and forth, accurately found Wen's mother's dressing table, pulled out a few hairs that had not been cleaned from the comb, and then went to the door of Wen Bo's room, picked up a few of his fallen hairs, and then quietly put them all in her bag. She calculated the time and went to the hospital.

On the other side, Wen's father and mother finally returned to the capital after a leisurely outing. The moment the plane landed, they turned on their mobile phones, and various missed calls, text messages and WeChat messages flooded in, almost turning off their phones.

It started with a call from Wen Bo and a flurry of messages:

【Mom and Dad, why haven’t you come back yet? 】

[Mom and Dad, please call me back and give me some money!]

Then there are relatives and friends:

[Lao Wen, what's going on with Wen Bo? Why is he suddenly in arrears with tuition?]

[Lao Wen, are you short on money lately?]

Finally, the overwhelmed secretary:

[Mr. Wen, I have news for you. The news that Mr. Wen was notified by the school about his unpaid tuition has become a hot topic, and people are speculating that our company is short of funds. As soon as the market opened this morning, the company's stock price plummeted. Now the shareholders are waiting for you to return to hold an emergency meeting...]

Wen's father and mother looked at the message and felt more and more that something was wrong. They looked at each other and hurriedly took a taxi home without even calling the driver.

When Wen Bo's parents arrived home, they saw Wen Bo crying angrily at home and asked hurriedly, "Son, what's going on? Is there something wrong?"

As soon as Wen Bo saw his parents come home, he let out a wail and threw himself into his mother's arms. He had been crying so hard that his snot was flying. "Mom and Dad, you're finally back! Wen Qianqian refused to pay my tuition, and I got reported to the school. Now the whole internet is scolding me!"

Wen Bo is a second-generation rich kid who has been spoiled by his parents since he was a child. He spends his days drinking, fighting and picking up girls. Now, overnight, he was reported by the school, laughed at by his classmates, broke up with his girlfriend, and was scolded by netizens. He completely collapsed and couldn't hold on any longer.

Seeing her son crying like this, Wen's mother's heart was broken. She frowned and asked angrily, "Where is Wen Qianqian?"

Wen Bo hesitated: "She went out and hasn't come back yet."

Wen's mother was immediately furious: "Good, good! You made your brother like this, and then you ran away and made a scene!"

Wen's father couldn't help but get angry: "It's unfortunate for our family to have raised such an ungrateful person."

Wen Bo wiped his tears and choked up, "Mom and Dad, forget about her for now. Please help me pay the tuition first. The school keeps pushing me, and I can't stand it anymore!"

Wen's mother's heart softened, and she quickly coaxed him, "Okay, okay, don't worry, Mom will help you pay it back right away." She couldn't help but scold the school, "What the hell? It's just a day late payment, is it really that serious? It's just a mere one million, are you afraid that our Wen family can't afford it?"

As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone, entered the transfer account number given by Wen Bo into the phone, and then pressed the payment password.

"Sorry, your password is incorrect. Please re-enter it."

Wen's mother looked at the notification on her phone with a puzzled look on her face. Her phone was bound to Wen Qianqian's work credit card, and she had always used the same password. She had even used it at a jewelry store a day ago. How could there be a mistake?

Wen Mu didn't believe it and entered the password again, but the result was still:

"Sorry, your password is incorrect. Please re-enter it."

Now Wen's mother was completely alert. She fought with the phone and typed it several times. The prompt became:

"Sorry, the password you entered is incorrect. Your account has been locked. Please try again after 24 hours."
