Chapter 171 "You are Wen?!"
After changing her clothes upstairs, Wenxi went to ask her aunt about the rumors circulating online.
The aunt was furious: "They're spreading rumors online, saying you faked your degree, that you bullied her in the law firm office, that you led people to isolate her, insult her academic credentials, and even threw coffee at her..."
Wen Xi raised an eyebrow: "I spilled her coffee."
"ah?!"
The aunt opened her mouth wide, then immediately said firmly, "She must have done something outrageous."
Wenxi burst out laughing.
The aunt argued logically, "Madam has such a good temper, she never loses her temper, how could she suddenly throw coffee at someone?!"
"On the contrary, this internet celebrity Jiang Jiang is spreading rumors everywhere that his wife is a gold digger and slandering his husband as ugly, poor, and bald..."
At this point, the aunt lowered her voice and quietly looked around.
"There are also many photos of ugly men circulating online, all claiming to be Mr.... If Mr.'s photos were actually posted, they would blind those people with his handsome looks."
Wenxi smiled and said, "It's a pity he didn't hear Auntie's words of praise."
After asking the aunt, Wenxi checked the news online.
As expected, the rumors spread wider and wider, becoming increasingly outrageous.
When Wenxi saw the post about Shang Chen's three marriages, eight lovers, and ten illegitimate children, her eyelids twitched.
This post probably has nothing to do with his brother, right?
If Chenchen saw this, wouldn't she be so aggrieved?
As the news spread online, Wenxi followed the usual procedure of "laying low" and simply didn't go to the law firm.
On the third day, we went directly to the Jingnan Court for the hearing.
After the court hearing, Bai Wei followed closely behind her: "Attorney Wen, last time you barged into Attorney Jiang's office during her live stream, Attorney Jiang was probably furious and mentioned your name in her private fan group. I've already saved the chat history."
"Once this gets out of hand, we're guaranteed to win this lawsuit!"
Bai Wei used to follow Wen Xi's lead and handle cases diligently, going through the proper procedures.
I've never seen such a trap set for people.
Attorney Jiang, in particular, was having a great time drilling.
Wenxi: "He really can't stand it."
Bai Wei: "Exactly!"
Wenxi: "I'm talking about you."
Bai Wei: "..."
“I am currently being subjected to cyberbullying, and your cheerful smile makes it easy for people to overthink things.”
Wen Xi said briskly, "Learn to control your facial expressions."
Bai Wei touched her face with a hint of disbelief: "Really?"
Wen Xi glanced at Bai Wei and said, "I'll go get the car first."
She had only taken two steps down the stairs when a middle-aged man stormed out aggressively: "You're Wen, aren't you?!"
Wen Xi reacted quickly: "No."
The other person was clearly taken aback. "Aren't you surnamed Wen? And a lawyer?"
Wen Xi calmly explained, "My surname is Wen, and I am a lawyer, but I am not the 'Wen person' you are talking about."
"That's right!"
The middle-aged man immediately became furious: "Aren't you named Wen Xi?! I am Wen Xi from Zhongda Law Firm!"
"You heartless and unscrupulous lawyer, you think you can act tough just because you married an old man, and you even bully our Jiangjiang!"
He pointed at Wenxi's nose and cursed, "I'm here today to warn you!"
"If you dare to bully Jiangjiang again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
At this moment, Bai Wei arrived with bailiffs and pointed at the middle-aged man, saying, "That's him!"
"He wants to beat up Wen Lu!"
The middle-aged man was arrogantly warning Wenxi, but when he saw the bailiff, he immediately relaxed.
Just as he was about to leave, Wenxi suddenly grabbed his arm and twisted it.
"ah!"
A bloodcurdling scream, like a pig being slaughtered, rang out.
Bai Wei clapped her hands: "Holy crap, Wen Lu, you're so handsome!"
Wen Xi pushed the middle-aged man away and said to the bailiffs, "Please be my witnesses later. He attacked first, and I acted in self-defense."
bailiff: "..."
After visiting the police station, Wenxi and Baiwei went to have dinner.
Bai Wei looked at Wen Lu with sparkling eyes: "Wen Lu, so you had a trick up your sleeve!"
Wen Xi calmly replied, "I've not just hidden one trick, I've hidden countless tricks."
Bai Wei chuckled and said, "You were absolutely stunning just now. If you posted that video online, it might even go viral."
"Am I not popular enough?" Wen Xi took a sip of her drink and joked to herself, "Fans are coming to my door."
Bai Wei: "The one who's popular is the infamous 'Wen Mouren,' not the dashing Wen Lu?"
"Stop having all those crazy thoughts in your head."
Bai Wei pouted.
Her emotions came and went quickly, and she turned to ask with great interest, "Wenlu, should we spread the word about what happened today?"
Wenxi: "You don't need to spread it. Sooner or later, there will be new news online."
Bai Wei: "Wen Lu, why don't you prepare a few bodyguards, just in case?"
"Unboxing online is terrifying these days. If this middle-aged man had a weapon in his hand, it would be very dangerous."
Wen Xi nodded slightly: "I'll go back and ask."
Bai Wei asked expectantly, "Should we go ask Grandmaster?"
"Does Master have a bodyguard team? Are there many handsome men with good physiques?"
Wenxi placed a piece of food on her plate and tapped the table: "Eat quietly!"
Bai Wei said regretfully, "Okay."
When Wenxi returned home, she indeed saw the news about what happened at the courthouse during the day circulating online.
A middle-aged man posted online, lamenting that Wenxi was a criminal organization.
Not only did they injure him, they also used their connections to get the police to detain him for half a day.
The post also included a video of him lying in the hospital with his arm bandaged.
This person was originally a fan of Attorney Jiang and was standing up for her.
Other fans, upon seeing him, were furious and began forwarding the post.
Wenxi closed her laptop and was about to go talk to Shang Chen when there was a knock on the door.
"Please come in."
Shang Chen pushed open the door and came in, carrying a glass of milk.
Wen Xi leaned back in her chair, a lazy smile on her face: "President Shang has become quite virtuous lately?"
Shang Chen was already used to Wen Xi's teasing. He put the milk on the table and said, "Perfect timing. There's something I want to talk to you about."
Wenxi: "Go ahead."
"XiXi, I saw the news online."
Wenxi quickly realized that she should have told Shang Chen about it immediately.
Wenxi stood up and hugged Shang Chen: "Sorry, I forgot to tell you this."
Wenxi didn't consider it a big deal that Lawyer Jiang's fans came to her door.
Because I didn't take it seriously, I naturally didn't want to tell the people around me.
But Wenxi knew that she couldn't look at things from her own perspective.
Shang Chen must be very worried when he sees online that someone came to her door.
Shang Chen hugged her. "Xixi, are you planning to hire a bodyguard?"
Wenxi leaned against the table, looked up at Shang Chen, and smiled faintly.
Shang Chen's expression was mature and serious. "What are you laughing at?"
"They laugh at how my husband and I are so in sync."
Seeing that Shang Chen still had a stern face, Wen Xi added, "Chenchen, we are truly a match made in heaven."
Shang Chen said calmly, "Even if you say a hundred more words to coax me, this matter cannot be left unresolved."
"Or does Director Shang want to punish me?"
Shang Chen: "...I'll tell my older brother."
Wenxi: "..."
Wenxi was so angry at Shang Chen that she almost laughed.
"How childish of you to be tattling at a grown man like you?"
After careful consideration, Shang Chen agreed with Wen Xi's view: "Naive."
Wenxi raised an eyebrow.
Shang Chen: "But we should still file a complaint."
Wenxi: "..."
After Shang Chen reminded her, Wen Xi also remembered this matter.
If she doesn't report what happened today to her brother, he's probably going to come knocking on her door tomorrow, worried.
Wenxi returned to the topic: "I was just about to ask you if you could find me a bodyguard as soon as possible."
Shang Chen: "It's all arranged."
Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to Wenxi Study to ask this question today.
Wenxi touched his lips with her fingertip, "I always said we were a match made in heaven."
"My Chenchen is so considerate."
Shang Chen smiled slightly and said calmly, "Xi Xi, even if you praise me again, I'm still going to complain."
Wenxi withdrew her smile and hand, then turned and picked up her phone.
Shang Chen: "..."
Wenxi had never treated him like this before.
As Shang Chen approached, he saw Wen Xi editing his WeChat nickname.
Note revised: Disappointing.
Shang Chen: "..."
He hasn't even complained yet.
Was it too hasty to sentence Wenxi?
Wenxi sent a message to Wenzhou overnight, intending to put his mind at ease.
But early the next morning, he still received a handsome bodyguard from Wen Zhou via 'express delivery'.
Coincidentally, the bodyguards that Shang Chen had chosen arrived at the door immediately.
The two bodyguards stood together, and Wenxi raised her hand to her forehead.
If she goes out with these two people, people might really mistakenly think she has a criminal gang behind her.
“The two of them are too conspicuous. I’m a lawyer, not a debt collector.”
“You can discuss scheduling, with one person taking turns to work one day at a time, and your wages will still be paid.”
One of these two people was arranged by Wenxi's older brother, and the other was arranged by her husband.
If you don't handle things properly, both sides will get angry.
When Wen Xi arrived at the law firm with her bodyguards, Bai Wei rushed over: "Attorney Wen!"
She gave Wenxi a wink, her face showing a hint of urgency.
Wen Xi said calmly, "Let's go to my office first."
"good."
As soon as Wen Xi sat down, Bai Wei spoke up: "Wen Lu, your mother has come forward to clarify the rumors!"
Wen Xi was taken aback, somewhat surprised, "My mom?"
Bai Wei nodded: "Not only your biological mother, but even your adoptive mother has come forward!"
She quickly showed the video to Wenxi.
While showing Wenxi the video, Bai Wei explained, "Aunt Zhou was probably worried about you, so she gave an interview at a business conference to clarify the rumors circulating online."
"I never expected Aunt Ning to come forward."
Bai Wei had also vaguely heard some things about Wen Xi's childhood from Lu Zhi.
After Wenxi came of age, her relationship with Ning Jin as mother and daughter had faded to a certain extent.
Later, Wenxi and Shangchen got married, and Ning Jin made a series of foolish moves... It was hard for Bai Wei not to overthink it.
Wenxi: "I'll call my mom later and ask her."
Bai Wei: "Wen Lu, the rumors spread by Attorney Jiang haven't reached their peak yet. Although Auntie's intention to clarify the rumors is good, won't it affect your plans?"
Wenxi pondered for a moment, then shook her head: "No."
"These rumors circulating online cannot be suppressed by just one or two people standing up to clarify them."
“My mom’s clarification might quiet them down for a day or two, but if she releases more dirt on them after that, they’ll get even more excited.”
Moreover, with Shang Chen and Wen Zhou fueling the fire behind the scenes, this wave of hype won't be easy to extinguish.
Bai Wei breathed a sigh of relief.
Just then, the phone in Wenxi's office rang.
Wenxi pressed the button without thinking.
Bai Wei: "Wen Lu, aren't you going to answer?"
Wen Xi looked at her with a faint smile, "Guess who called?"
Bai Wei was taken aback, then immediately realized: "She's a fan of Attorney Jiang!"
Wen Xi: "Perhaps it's not just fans, but also those who want to 'uphold justice' for Attorney Jiang."
"Don't answer any random phone calls these next couple of days."
"You are my assistant. If they can't get through to me, they will most likely contact you or someone close to me."
Bai Wei nodded seriously.
But she couldn't help asking, "Wen Lu, is this the only way to become famous?"
They were falsely accused, cyberbullied, and subjected to malicious attacks from all sides...
Bai Wei wasn't even involved, but seeing the sarcastic and malicious rumors online, she felt wronged and angry on Wen Xi's behalf.
Given Wenxi's abilities, if she works steadily for eight to ten years, she will eventually gain sufficient fame and status.
Why take such a big risk?
Wenxi looked at Bai Wei quietly, a hint of relief in her eyes.
"At least you're starting to use your brain now."
Bai Wei: "Wen Lu, please stop teasing me."
Wenxi answered her patiently.
"It's not necessary to take this path."
"The road to fame is never easy."
Wenxi could also guess Bai Wei's thoughts.
"Given my abilities and background, if I work steadily for eight to ten years and accumulate enough experience, I will eventually get what I deserve."
"Ke Weiwei, is becoming famous at thirty-seven the same as becoming famous at twenty-seven?"
Bai Wei was speechless: "It's different."
"If a lawsuit could make you famous and save you ten years of hard work, would you dare to take the gamble?"
Bai Wei: "..."
Wen Xi smiled faintly and said, "Ten years from now, I may not have the same ambition as I do now."
"I'm still so young, why shouldn't I take a chance?"
"If Attorney Jiang wins the lawsuit for spreading rumors, I will become famous overnight; even if I lose, I am only twenty-seven years old."
Wen Xi's gaze was calm, and the smile on her lips revealed a burgeoning ambition and composed confidence.
"If I fail at twenty-seven, I can just start over; but if I fail at thirty-seven, I might lose that fighting spirit."
If Wenxi wanted a peaceful life, she wouldn't have chosen to become a lawyer.
Reporting back to Attorney Jiang was a minor matter; Wenxi was more concerned about her career.
Wenxi: "Now that I've entered this industry, I must do my best."
"I want fame, I want big prizes, and when the time is right, it's time to change positions."
Bai Wei's breath caught in her throat. "Wen Lu, you want to be a partner?!"
Wenxi is now a senior lawyer at Zhongda.
If you move up a bit further, you become a partner.
Wenxi took a small sip of the tea on the table, her gaze becoming serious: "Weiwei, take your time."
Bai Wei understood instantly: "I understand!"
"Opportunities always come with risks. Attorney Jiang has provided a good opportunity, and we should definitely make good use of it."
Even if Wenxi were to gain experience for another ten or eight years, there's no guarantee that a blogger with a million followers would be willing to sacrifice themselves to make her successful.
This is Wenxi's chance, and it's also Baiwei's chance.
During her internship, she participated in two nationally renowned major cases. What an impressive resume!
