Chapter 689 Don't Take Sides Randomly
Mrs. Li never expected that Madam Feng would humiliate her like this over a box of ordinary medicinal mud.
His face turned pale and then white, then pale and then pale again. Finally, unable to withstand the angry and mocking gazes of the crowd, he turned and left in a huff.
The other wives knew that the matter was settled and could not be reversed, so they sighed and left reluctantly.
Only Madam Qiu stood in the courtyard for a long time, staring in the direction of the second floor of the Feng family's house, seemingly lost in thought.
After an unknown amount of time, she seemed to have made up her mind and walked into the courtyard.
Ye Wanxi was completely unaware that Feng's mother had a falling out with those wealthy young ladies over a box of medicinal mud.
Her earlier prediction about the drowning case was soon proven true.
Early that morning, Ye Wanxi brought the pork tripe porridge that Gao Min had personally cooked to the film set. As soon as she arrived, she saw Yao Jinwei scrolling through her phone with a serious expression.
Gao Min cooked a large amount of porridge today, and only a few people from the film crew had arrived yet.
Ye Wanxi thought for a moment and decided to ask politely, "Have you had breakfast? Would you like some porridge?"
Yao Jinwei then noticed Ye Wanxi's arrival. She looked up and saw the thermos in Ye Wanxi's hand, and her eyes lit up slightly: "Okay."
Ye Wanxi: "..." You really have no manners at all.
However, girls generally have smaller appetites, and female celebrities have even smaller ones.
Yao Jinwei scooped half a bowl, about the size of a fist, and said that was enough. Ye Wanxi glanced at her bowl, then unceremoniously scooped a large bowl for herself.
Yao Jinwei: "..." Eating with someone who can eat anything and not gain weight is so exciting, I'm so jealous!
"What were you looking at just now? Why did you look so serious?"
"It's nothing, just the case of the drowning incident that took a turn a couple of days ago. There's been a new development this morning."
Ye Wanxi paused, her hand holding the spoon still: "What's the progress?"
"Just last night, someone suddenly revealed that the reason the two girls fell into the water was indeed because they had an argument with someone. However, the person they argued with was not the man who later died, but the young master of Xun's Enterprise."
"The Xun family?"
"Yes, it's a large local company."
Ye Wanxi carefully recalled the companies she knew, but couldn't find one that matched her description: "And then? Do you have any evidence?"
"No, it's all just hearsay. And then..."
"Um?"
"Then this morning, someone suddenly revealed that the reason why that woman named Fan Xiaoli suddenly jumped out to recant her testimony was because she took money from a group of rich second-generation kids in order to get involved with the young master of the Xun family after recanting her testimony."
Ye Wanxi finished a bowl of soup in a few gulps, then served herself another bowl, making Yao Jinwei across from her twitch with envy.
"Why would a rich second-generation give Fan Xiaoli money to get involved with the young master of the Xun family?"
"Because one of the boys among these rich kids was a rival of the Xun family, a bitter enemy, and one of the two girls happened to be dating Young Master Xun at the time. So they wanted to use this method to suppress the Xun family and seize the project they wanted."
"That's right, it's reasonable and well-founded."
As Ye Wanxi spoke, she opened her phone, wanting to see which unlucky person had just gotten involved with the mastermind and walked right into the line of fire.
Upon seeing the result, Ye Wanxi was genuinely surprised.
This unfortunate fellow, who was inexplicably caught in the crossfire, is none other than the bespectacled Cui Yingwen.
The poor child's public account has been flooded with insults and abuse.
[Are you crazy? To suppress a rival company, they're deliberately bringing up something from eight years ago to whitewash a perpetrator. What's wrong with them?]
I know who this person is; he went to the same junior high school as me. I heard his family was well-off, but his parents had a bad relationship, making him feel like an orphan. Later, I heard his parents each had other children, and he was even less valued. At school, he always kept his head down, like a ghost. I even told my friends back then that he was scary, and I always felt like he might suddenly go crazy and hurt someone.
Children who are neglected and lack love from their parents are often extreme and always try to do something to attract their parents' attention. Could it be that he's secretly planning something big behind his family's back, hoping to achieve something and impress his parents?
[Regardless of the reason, it's wrong to distort the truth and whitewash disgusting molesters. As mentioned above, children who lack love often have extreme personalities; this person might also be an extreme molester, which is why people empathize with them.]
[Disgusting thing, you deserve to be disliked by your parents, get out!]
Cui Yingwen's account is very simple. The total number of posts he has made is less than fifty, and they are mostly landscape photos or collections of questions. There are not even any selfies. It can be said to be extremely monotonous.
But now, these simple posts are filled with nasty curses, noise, attacks, and utterly disgusting comments.
The recent insults directed at Fan Xiaoli, and the curses directed at Lu Zheyan eight years ago, all seem to overlap with these comments at this moment.
It's like an inescapable cycle, and ironically, those who are now criticizing Cui Yingwen are likely the same group that criticized Fan Xiaoli just a few days ago.
After glancing at the online public opinion, Ye Wanxi had already guessed that the so-called Xun family must have been the ones who helped Fan Xiaoli and the other person suppress the online discussions back then.
The Xun family was able to suppress public opinion back then, and even forced some media outlets to remain silent despite knowing the truth, which shows how shrewd they were.
If Wen Jue and his group were to face him, they would inevitably suffer some losses, but...
Ye Wanxi glanced at the comments under Cui Yingwen's account and frowned slightly: "No wonder..."
Upon hearing this, Yao Jinwei couldn't help but ask curiously, "No wonder what?"
No wonder Cui Yingwen looked like that when we met before—suffering from petty people and despised by even his closest relatives…
She could lend him a hand now, but without breaking down the old ways, there can be no rebuilding; the time is not yet ripe.
Ye Wanxi thought about it and decided to take another look.
"It's nothing. Don't take sides on this matter. Just observe and don't make any comments, whether online or in real life."
Yao Jinwei was stunned; she had indeed been paying too much attention to this matter.
The main point is that some things are best left unattended if they don't concern you personally.
But once you get involved with the people around you, even the most rational person can't remain indifferent.
Yao Jinwei is in this situation now, and Ye Wanxi's reminder made her think about many things.
The current situation is very unfavorable for the deceased. She reminded herself of this because she was worried that she might get into trouble by speaking up for the deceased in a moment of impulse, or perhaps there was another reason?
The phrase "whether online or in real life" sent a chill down Yao Jinwei's spine. Could there really be an unnoticed danger around her?
