Chapter 61 Public Opinion Backlash
In the hospital, the three members of the Chen family were also furious and helpless.
"I told you not to sign, don't sign! Look at you guys, now you've become someone else's handle!" Chen Jie was still the same as before, complaining whenever something went wrong.
But Mr. Chen's mood was up and down that day. He was criticized by a group of netizens for his dishonesty at his old age.
He was also in a bad mood, and it was rare for him to find his grandson being so noisy. "How dare you say that! Why did you send her the flight number for no reason?"
Without this evidence, it would be impossible to prove that they were partial to Chen Jie.
If he was biased, it was his disappointing son who did it, and he could still create an innocent persona.
Chen Jie was caught off guard and stunned by the shouting. He couldn't believe it, "Are you blaming me?!"
"Why are you blaming our Xiaojie? It's all that damn girl Chen Zhaodi's fault! Contact reporter Wang again and ask him to think of a solution!" The old lady stood on Chen Jie's side with heartache.
Mr. Chen, “…”
If he could contact someone, would he be so anxious here?
They had no idea that reporter Wang had been suspended for investigation and his career was completely ruined.
It may even affect the elders who help him arrange work.
And the truth coming to light does not mean the end of the matter.
The counterattack has just begun.
If karma accumulates too much, there will always be retribution.
…
As public opinion became completely one-sided, many people who knew Chen Jinyue came forward to share their experiences, listing incidents of the Chen family favoring boys over girls.
There are also examples of how Mr. Chen was harsh on factory workers in his early years, and how Mrs. Chen bullied others by taking advantage of her power.
At this moment, the official Weibo of the County People’s Hospital released a video surveillance.
It was old lady Chen who had been swearing and making noise in the ward many times and had been complained by other patients.
The nurse stepped forward to warn them, but was insulted and beaten.
This time, even the onlookers were angry——
[Is this old woman crazy? She actually hit the nurse!]
[Medical staff have become the butt of the punching bag these days. It's unfortunate to encounter such a family member!]
[Outsiders were bullied so harshly, it's hard to imagine how Chen Jinyue grew up under such oppression for over twenty years!]
[That old woman is really good at pretending! She even cried so sincerely in the video!]
[That old immortal, she will definitely get her comeuppance! ]
【……】
Immediately following the release of the hospital beating video, there was a recording from the official Weibo account of Yuyuan Pharmaceutical.
The recording contains a conversation between Mr. Chen and the boss of Yuyuan Pharmaceutical.
"I didn't mean to make such a big fuss. I just wanted her to return the factory to Xiaojie, but that girl is such a disappointment!"
"This kind of person who forgets her roots is worse than an animal. Your boss must have been deceived by her!"
"This is a little gift from me. Please introduce our Xiaojie to your boss! Although Xiaojie didn't graduate from a prestigious university, he's very smart! Now that he has traffic, he will definitely be able to seize this opportunity!"
The other party spoke tactfully and ambiguously, saying that as a graduate from a prestigious university, he must have some strengths.
Then, Old Master Chen became even more angry. "What ability does she have? She's just a bookworm! When she got the provincial top scorer, all the schools were vying for her. She could have taken the opportunity to make a deal and take Xiaojie to a prestigious university, but she was just jealous of Xiaojie and didn't want to help him..."
What kind of hellish statement is this?! My granddaughter got into college, but I didn't take my grandson with her. Is that jealousy? Is that selfish?!
[Fuck you! How dare this old man open his mouth!]
[He's worse than an animal! Such a scourge should just die!]
It seems like things are right. Just because the young lady refused to obey them and did something immoral, they wouldn't give her tuition and living expenses?
【……】
This piece of public opinion lingered on the Internet for two or three days, and the Chen family was also criticized for two or three days, with new gossip being exposed every time.
It's so exciting.
…
Chen Jinyue had been paying attention to it, but apart from feeling relieved at the beginning, he didn't feel much pleasure from revenge.
When she was a child, she was favored and neglected by her parents countless times. She always wanted to find someone to talk to, to get comfort and affirmation, and to be told that it was not her fault that she was not loved.
But it’s really nice to hear so many voices supporting her and so many people criticizing the Chen family.
She wasn't as happy as she thought.
Perhaps what she originally expected was that her family would change after being criticized?
But ever since that will appeared, she no longer had any expectations...
Chen Jinyue asked for a batch of vegetables, fruits and melons from his senior schoolmate, and also ordered a batch of beef, mutton, and meatballs for hot pot.
Including hot pot base and beer, the total cost was about three million.
As night falls.
Jiang Qian'an's familiar figure walked in on time.
I don’t know if it’s because the situation at the border has improved, or because he doesn’t have to run back and forth to pick up the goods, but he’s been in pretty good shape every time he comes in recently.
Noble and naturally elegant.
"Miss Chen."
He greeted warmly.
Chen Jinyue stood up from his chair. "Are you here? Let me show you these military boots first."
She turned around and walked inside, causing Jiang Qian'an's hand, which he had about to raise, to drop down.
The thing in his hand was hidden back into his cloak.
Although the military boots were rushed, no steps or processes were omitted, and all were neatly packed in shoe boxes.
Chen Jinyue took a box and opened it.
"This shoe has a rubber outsole that's waterproof, non-slip, and wear-resistant. The upper is chrome-tanned black calf leather. The toe is thickened for impact protection, which improves combat protection. There's a zipper on the inside for easy on and off. Considering the extreme cold where you live, they've even added lightweight and comfortable down felt..."
As she took out the shoes, she introduced them to him using professional terms.
Jiang Qian'an is a very qualified listener. No matter whether he understands or not, he always looks serious.
It wasn't until he saw Chen Jinyue sit down, take off her slippers and prepare to try them on for him that his cheeks turned hot and he turned his back abruptly.
"Miss Chen! No, you don't have to try it on!"
“…”
Chen Jinyue looked at the other person's frightened back, then looked at his own raised bare feet, and suddenly reacted.
In ancient times, there was a very classic traditional custom.
Once you look at a girl's feet, it is equivalent to insulting her innocence and you must be responsible for her.
Although Jiang Qi'an had gotten used to her cool clothes these days, the sudden removal of her shoes was still quite shocking...
She coughed awkwardly. "Here, men and women are equal, and the system isn't that harsh. Going barefoot isn't really a big deal."
Although she said that, she still kept her feet down to respect other people's customs.
"Come here, I'll teach you how to put it on."
Jiang Qi'an's face was still hot, but he suddenly thought of something else and hurriedly explained, "I'm not afraid of being responsible for the girl, I'm just worried about her innocence..."
"I understand, I understand. Come here and I'll teach you how to put it on." Chen Jinyue didn't care much. He just wanted to demonstrate it to him quickly. There were still a lot of things to hand in today.
Jiang Qianan choked, clearly feeling that she didn't understand.
But the other party obviously didn't care at all, which made him feel indescribably frustrated.
