The shift in public opinion that lasted for several days turned Wen Ge, who had previously enjoyed great success, into a target of ridicule.
One second they're a winner in life, the next they're a meme, a super innocent white lotus.
Furthermore, the change in the film's reputation was caused by Wen Ge inviting fans to watch the movie in order to maintain her persona, which made Wen Ge even more ridiculed.
Wen Ge was furious at home.
In the past few months, she has been elevated to a pedestal, has become very close to Gu Zeyu, has been praised by people in the industry, and has been fawned over by socialites in Haicheng. She has long regarded herself as the number one socialite in Haicheng and is very proud of it.
As a result of the movie incident, these people mocked Wen Ge behind her back quite a bit, which made Wen Ge very angry.
"Why are you angry? It's your birthday banquet tomorrow, and the family business will also go public. It's a big day. Don't let your anger affect your image tomorrow."
Wen's mother came over to comfort Wen Ge.
Wen Ge angrily threw her phone away. "Isn't she your good daughter? She insists on making a movie. She even markets me online, saying that my sister is much better than me and that the family has always been supporting me. It's ridiculous. Who does Wen Yi think she is?"
"She didn't marry as well as I did, and her career isn't as good as mine. What makes her think she can compare to me?"
"Mrs. Gu told me that tomorrow is the day to announce my wedding with Young Master Gu. Who can beat me then?"
Wen Ge said angrily.
Wen's mother hurriedly comforted Wen Ge, "You said it yourself, you're about to be a winner in life, marrying Gu Zeyu. Once our family's research goes public because of your brother, our net worth will be completely different. Wen Yi can't compare to you at all. In the future, we'll need your help to save your sister."
Wen Ge felt much better after her mother's comforting words.
right!
She was about to marry into the Gu family, and after the Wen family went public, they would finally gain a firm foothold in Haicheng, no longer just a marginal wealthy family, but a truly established and prestigious family in Haicheng.
She's different now; her entire net worth is different.
The Wen family is married into the Imperial Garden, and they still need her help to rescue them. What do the others matter!
Thinking of this, Wen Ge felt much more at ease.
...
Wen Ge's birthday party.
The news of Wen Ge's banquet has been released, and Gu Zeyu is proposing marriage. Furthermore, because Wen Muqianzhou's recent research has been making headlines in Haicheng, tonight's banquet is attracting a lot of attention.
When Wen Yi and Master Gu arrived, the banquet had already begun.
Wen Ge was dressed in a gold gown, basking in the glamorous glow, with Gu Zeyu by her side. Wherever they went, they were praised as a perfect couple.
Many guests came from the surrounding area, and reporters were broadcasting live from the scene.
Wen Ge has enjoyed every honor imaginable.
Wen Yi watched silently.
"Wen Ge has reached the highest point as you arranged," Master Gu reminded her from the side.
After watching for a long time, Wen Ge said, "Because you go to a very high place, you fall down, and the pain is so intense that you can't get up. That's why you feel unwilling and resentful."
A faint smile curved at the corner of Wen Yi's lips.
"Is everything arranged? Are you sure you won't show up?" Master Gu asked, putting his arm around Wen Yi.
From his current position, Wen Yi can have a clear view of the banquet inside the Wen family compound without even entering it.
"No need, just enjoy the show," Wen Yi said calmly.
At the same time, a message was sent from the phone.
Scene from the Wen family's birthday banquet.
After Wen Ge and Gu Zeyu performed the opening dance and gave a speech, they were enjoying everyone's praise...
"Miss Wen, do you remember me?"
A person walked in from the crowd, and Wen Ge's smile froze because of this person's appearance.
"Miss Wen, it's been a long time."
Wen Ge subconsciously took a step back. "I don't know you. Someone, take him away."
"When Miss Wen gave me money, said I was great, and said she would support me forever, why wasn't she like this?"
"I told you I don't know you, get out of here right now."
"What is Miss Wen afraid of? I just feel that it's not right for me to have been taken care of by Miss Wen for so long, to have served Miss Wen, and to have been asked for gifts from Miss Wen. So, on Miss Wen's birthday, I'm bringing her a gift."
"I told you to get out!" Wen Ge was already in a hurry, looking at the people beside her, "Drag him out right now."
Wen Muqianzhou reacted immediately, rushed up, dragged the person away, and gagged him.
Those around them caught some clues in the man's words, and their gazes toward Wen Ge became intriguing.
Wen Ge panicked; the person from earlier was named Lin Zhi.
She had a crush on a man she met at a bar and had been keeping him as a mistress, but now that she's in a relationship with Gu Zeyu, it's natural for her to break it off.
Unexpectedly, Lin Zhi came to kill her, which made Wen Ge very flustered.
But at this critical juncture, Wen Ge didn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble.
Looking up at Gu Zeyu, she said, "Zeyu, let's not let these things spoil the fun. Let's watch the big screen. I prepared it especially for you."
Wen Ge composed herself, then exchanged a glance with her mother and took a ring box from her.
Wen Ge looked at Gu Zeyu and said, "Zeyu, it has always been men who propose to women. But I hope my man is different, so I'm proposing to you. I hope I can give you a different kind of love and make you feel that I am unique."
Wen Ge opened the ring box, knelt on one knee, and asked, "Ze Yu, will you marry me?"
Although Lin Zhi's farce had already ended, Wen Ge's bold kneeling proposal immediately attracted everyone's attention.
The crowd began to scream, clap, and heckle.
"Say yes, say yes, say yes!"
Wen Ge looked at Gu Zeyu with great confidence. She dared to propose in public because she had been instructed by Madam Gu. As the future daughter-in-law of the Gu family, she naturally had the confidence to do this.
Gu Zeyu will definitely agree.
Wen Ge looked at Gu Zeyu with great confidence.
But when Gu Zeyu looked at Wen Ge, his expression became serious, and he even subconsciously took a step back.
Wen Ge had a bad feeling...
“Wen Ge, first of all, I need to explain something,” Gu Zeyu said solemnly. “I’ve been taking care of you these past few days because I’m taking care of you on behalf of Wen Yi.”
"What?" Wen Ge exclaimed in shock.
The entire room fell silent.
Gu Zeyu said, "I only see you as a younger sister. I've always loved your older sister, and even though she's married, I'm willing to wait for her. You were upset because of the TV series, and your sister said you needed me, so I came to take care of you because of her. But this has caused you this misunderstanding, and I'm very sorry!"
Gu Zeyu's words were like a thunderclap, stunning Wen Ge and silencing everyone present.
At the same time, the lights on the big screen turned on, and what was supposed to be a sweet scene between Wen Ge and Gu Zeyu turned into an ambiguous scene between Wen Ge and Lin Zhi...
