Chapter 179 Inferiority Complex
Yan Xu knew that Wen Xi was straightforward and aloof, but he was still taken aback when he heard her answer without hesitation.
He remained silent for a long time before saying, "You can release the news that I was injured by the only online media outlet."
Yan Xu's cooperation surprised Wen Xi.
Yan Xu chuckled self-deprecatingly, "To you, maybe my useless younger brother is finally of some use."
Wenxi remained silent.
It is a fact that Yan Xu was injured by the only online media outlet. Whether he is willing to cooperate or not, Wen Xi will find a way to spread the news online.
Wenxi only made a special trip to ask Yan Xu because she was considering Zhou Ruo's feelings.
After saying that, Yan Xu fell silent.
An eerie silence fell over the ward.
Wenxi didn't want to waste time on useless things and was about to leave when she suddenly heard Yan Xu say, "Did you hate me from the very beginning?"
Wenxi turned and glanced at him. "No."
Yan Xu: "I don't believe it."
Wenxi calmly gave an example: "The lawyer Jiang who spread rumors about me this time is my colleague."
"She was jealous of me for seven years, talked badly about me behind my back, and often spoke sarcastically to me in public, but I didn't actually dislike her."
"Why?"
Wen Xi spoke coldly and indifferently: "Because not everyone is worth my effort."
Yan Xu suddenly felt a burning pain on his face.
In Wenxi's eyes, he was also someone who wasn't worth her effort.
So no matter what he did, in Wenxi's eyes he was just a clown, no different from that lawyer Jiang.
Yan Xu said firmly, "I really hate you."
Wen Xi glanced at him, said nothing, and turned to leave.
Yan Xu stared at Wen Xi's retreating figure, his eyes reddening.
He clutched the blanket, as if talking to himself.
"I hate you! I hate you!"
He hated Wenxi's excellence, Wenxi's indifference and rationality, and even more so Wenxi's arrogant and disdainful attitude.
Yan Xu always felt that Wen Xi and Wen Zhou were the real siblings, and that they were the same kind of people.
After the baby swap incident came to light, it seemed that the two families simply exchanged their own children back.
But in Yan Xu's eyes, it was a collision between two people from different worlds.
He and Wenxi will never be from the same world.
After Wenxi went downstairs, she sat in the car for a while.
Bai Wei finished browsing the news and put down her phone with satisfaction.
She looked up and saw Wen Xi, then realized something was wrong and immediately asked, "Wen Lu, did that brat Yan Xu say something offensive again?!"
"If he still hasn't learned his lesson, I'll go and teach him a couple more lessons."
Wen Xi looked up, a faint smile in her eyes, "No."
"Then why are you so quiet?"
Wenxi: "It was during this meeting with Yan Xu that I suddenly realized why he was so hostile towards me from the beginning."
"Why?"
Bai Wei's gossip-loving nature was aroused again, and her eyes were full of enthusiasm for gossip.
Wenxi: "Have you ever heard this saying?"
“A person’s intense inferiority complex can make them inexplicably become very rude.”
Bai Wei: "I've heard it. It seems like a celebrity said it."
Bai Wei doesn't like watching TV variety shows, but she loves browsing all kinds of gossip news.
She asked, half-guessing, "Wenlu, do you mean that Yan Xu was rude to you because he felt inferior in front of you?"
Wenxi did not answer Bai Wei's question, but said calmly, "He should have seen me before."
This "before" refers to the period before the first family reunion banquet between the two families.
Bai Wei snorted lightly: "He should be insecure anyway!"
"Who doesn't have some money at home? These days, any rich second-generation with some ability and ambition at least has their own career and aspirations."
"As for Yan Zhao and Yan Xu, one is love-struck, constantly worrying about whether Lu Jinghuai loves him or not, while the other is idle and acts like a spoiled brat all day long."
"I think he's just bored!"
If Yan Zhao and Yan Xu had any jobs, they wouldn't have caused all this trouble.
Bai Wei complained, "Every day after get off work, all I want to do is lie in bed and do nothing, but my parents still drag me to meet this uncle and that aunt... I don't even have time to watch handsome guys' live streams."
"Where would I find the time to be love-struck or cause trouble everywhere?"
Wenxi nodded slightly: "What you said makes sense. Are you complaining that I've given you too many tasks?"
Bai Wei immediately became obedient.
She said awkwardly, "This is a test, a test."
Bai Wei immediately changed the subject: "Wenlu, the news that Attorney Jiang was taken away by the police is trending on social media."
Wen Xi was somewhat surprised: "Is it so easy to get on the trending topics list now?"
Bai Wei: "...Wen Lu, have you become too rigid from spending too much time with President Shang?"
Wen Xi glanced at her indifferently.
Bai Wei immediately admitted: "A video of a blogger with millions of followers being taken away by the police is a once-in-a-decade occurrence, how could it not go viral?"
"In addition, thanks to the efforts of Lawyer Jiang's fans in debunking the rumors, the word has spread more and more widely."
Netizens often have a rebellious streak.
They might not have been interested at first, but the more the fans denied the rumors, the more netizens loved to gossip.
As people ate it, the melon became a hit.
Bai Wei: "When Attorney Jiang was taken away by officials, her credibility was greatly reduced. Then netizens or her opponents dug up old grievances and dug up her dark history."
"As soon as someone starts digging into 'Wen Moumou's' affairs, public opinion will instantly turn in our favor."
"It's time for Attorney Jiang to experience what it's like to be kicked when you're down."
As Wenxi listened to Bai Wei's cheerful words and focused on driving, a phone call came in.
She glanced at it and realized it was Ms. Hu.
Wenxi was somewhat surprised.
After the divorce decree was handed down, Ms. Hu called Wenxi to say she regretted it, and the two never contacted each other again.
Wenxi thought that Ms. Hu was somewhat dissatisfied with her because of the divorce ruling.
More than half a year later, Wenxi never expected that Ms. Hu would call her again.
When Wenxi answered the phone, Ms. Hu said softly, "Attorney Wen, I just saw the rumors online and just wanted to call and ask if you're okay."
Wenxi: "I'm fine."
Ms. Hu: "I know the news online is all fake. Attorney Wen, you are a good person."
"Thank you for the compliment." Wenxi followed up by asking, "How have you been lately?"
Ms. Hu said with a smile, "I've been doing quite well lately, and I have to thank Attorney Wen for that."
“I didn’t remarry my ex-husband. My daughter wouldn’t allow it; she said she wanted me to have a good life and to be happy.”
"After my divorce, I moved out with my daughter, and things are slowly getting better now."
Wenxi: "That is indeed good news."
After chatting for a bit, Ms. Hu whispered a word of advice: "Attorney Wen, be careful... pay attention to your safety."
Wenxi: "Don't worry, I will."
Wenxi thought Ms. Hu was worried about the online rumors on her behalf.
