Qiao Wanwan frowned, "...What?"
"You don't know?" Wen Lixuan said, "Some netizens released a recording of you at the hospital today, which caused a sensation. It's such a pity that you left the entertainment industry, otherwise you would have been incredibly famous long ago."
"Thank you for the compliment. Let me see if trending on social media is a blessing or a curse."
Qiao Wanwan clicked on the trending topics and, sure enough, saw that the topics "[Qiao Yi and Sun Chen]", "[Millions of netizens will seek justice for her]", and "[There is still light in this world]" were all trending.
The incident began when a netizen named "Xianyu Buxian" posted an audio recording online, which was a conversation between Qiao Wanwan and Grandpa Sun.
Xianyu Buxian: [I went to deliver food to my grandmother who was hospitalized. I accidentally saw a stunningly beautiful young lady in the next bed. I realized that she was Qiao Yi, who had been retired from the entertainment industry for a long time. I was thinking of asking for a photo, but I found out that she was visiting Sun Chen's grandfather.]
I know that recording this might violate someone's privacy, but I still want to release it because I cried for a whole hour and my eyes are swollen from crying.
She was so kind. She told Grandpa Sun that there was a charitable hospital that would provide free treatment. Later, she learned from a nurse that the treatment wasn't free; it was just that she would pay for the transfer of Grandpa Sun to a better hospital!
I felt it was such a pity that Qiao Yi retired from the entertainment industry back then, and now it seems even more of a pity. Why can't such a warm and kind young lady appear in front of the public? I love you, Qiao Qiao @QiaoYi!
The netizens below were already in an uproar.
Before listening: What kind of hype is this? After listening: Maya is so touching!
Qiao Yi mentioned me; she said I would seek justice for Sun Chen!
[Support Qiao Yi! A lawsuit must cost a lot of money, right? She can't bear it all alone. Are there any donation channels? I want to help her take revenge on this beast!]
[What kind of joke is that upstairs talking about? Do you even know who Qiao Yi is?]
[Looking for a quick explanation: Who is Qiao Yi?]
[Ah! Doesn't anyone in the village have internet? Qiao Yi is Qiao Wanwan, the boss's wife of the Dijin Group. She has so much money that her descendants could never spend it all. Does she need you netizens who only earn 3,000 a month to help her?]
[Everyone, look at yourselves and see why you're not as rich as Qiao Yi after all these years. Maybe you haven't worked hard enough. [doge][doge][doge]]
I've found the reason! My ancestral grave isn't emitting any auspicious smoke. Buddha said that even if you blew up my ancestral grave, it still wouldn't emit any smoke...
[Please try not to write her full name upstairs, because qww's name will be blocked within an hour. Don't ask me how I know; DJ Group protects her extremely well, so you can't find her name or photo online.]
I also want to be protected like that by a domineering CEO...
[...]
"Wanwan, how did you end up trending on social media?" Su Jing asked. "Should we ask Jingting to handle this?"
"No need," Qiao Wanwan smiled. "I checked, and after I became a trending topic, Sun Chen's trending topic also became more popular. This means more people will pay attention to her situation, which isn't a bad thing."
Su Jing nodded, "That's right. We kept it under wraps to avoid her grandfather finding out. Now that the old man knows, there's no point in hiding it anymore. Making a big fuss about this isn't entirely without its downsides. At the very least, that beast's days ahead probably won't be so easy."
"Yeah, I'll wait and see what happens to him."
......
At that time, two men were arguing loudly in a residential building.
"Why didn't you tell me that the person behind your wife is Qiao Wanwan! Do you know who she is? She's the boss's wife of the Dijing Group, the God of Wealth of the capital!" The lawyer pushed up his glasses and said angrily, "I was wondering why your wife's lawyer was so professional. I looked it up and found out he's on the legal advisory team of the Dijing Group. If I had known you had offended the Dijing Group, I would never have gotten involved with you!"
"However, it's not too late now. I'm officially informing you that from this moment on, I am no longer your legal representative. You should find someone else!"
"No, what do you mean by that?" said the man with his legs crossed on the sofa. "You think you can just take the money and walk away? Is there such a thing as a free lunch?"
The lawyer immediately pulled out a wad of cash from his bag. "Look carefully, this is your deposit. I'll return every penny to you. Count it now!"
"You're really quitting?" The man's lips twitched. "Is it really that bad?"
"Is it really necessary?" The lawyer laughed directly. "You're truly ignorant and fearless. Go and find out who Zhan Jingting is! Hurry up and count the money. I still need to go to the Dijing Group to explain this matter. I hope they won't blacklist me in the industry!"
"Tch..." The man was just saying disdainfully when a strange noise suddenly came from outside the door.
Both of them were startled, and the man quickly raised his voice, asking, "Who is it?"
There was no response from outside the door, and the sound quickly disappeared.
The man got up to open the door, and the next second, a pungent smell of paint hit him!
He looked closely and discovered that paint had been splashed on his door!
"Which bastard did this! Show yourself if you dare!" the man cursed. "If I catch him, I'll kill you!"
The lawyer hurriedly packed his things, saying, "I've left the money on the table. I'm leaving now, don't contact me again!"
"Why are you running? I haven't finished speaking yet!" The man watched him flee, spitting disdainfully. "What's so great about him! I don't believe I can't find a better lawyer, just you wait and see!"
That evening, Qiao Wanwan was playing with her third son when her phone suddenly rang.
She swiped to answer the phone, "Hello, Xiao Xu."
"Madam, a man just came to the Imperial View Group and said he wanted to apologize to you. The security guards found out that he was the lawyer who represented Sun Chen's husband in the lawsuit," the secretary reported. "He said he didn't know he had offended you before, and that he is no longer Sun Chen's husband's lawyer. He hopes you won't hold a grudge against him."
Qiao Wanwan smiled faintly, "You're quite clever. Knowing you can't afford to offend me, you immediately made your stance clear."
"Yes."
"I never intended to do anything to him. If I had to hold a grudge against such a small fry, life would be too tiring. Let him go."
"Yes, madam."
......
Sun Chen's situation is escalating online, and more and more people are condemning her husband.
Her husband also felt the pressure, as no lawyer was taking on his case.
Not only that, ever since the paint was splashed on his house, his doorstep has been vandalized every day, with people throwing garbage, splashing dirty water, and even excrement everywhere.
His neighbors complained every day, making him miserable.
Because he lived on the second floor, he went downstairs to buy a pack of cigarettes and discovered that all the windows in his house had been smashed!
The man had no choice but to call the police. The police took one look, covered their noses, and said, "This is an old neighborhood with no surveillance cameras. We have no idea who did it."
