Qin Wei's post, brimming with sarcasm, intensified the already one-sided online public opinion.
Despite the insults, curses, and condemnations directed at her, Qin Wan remained completely unmoved.
After scrolling through Weibo for a while, Qin Wan discovered that not only Qin Wei had posted a Weibo, but Lu Bei had also posted one.
[Lu Bei: I should not have stood up or revealed anything since I was paid to do things for people. But the internet has been in an uproar these past two days, and I finally learned the truth.]
These past two days, I've been suffering immensely. I chose this profession out of necessity, not because I wanted to.
If I could, I would also like to be a good person and not hurt anyone, but there are too many helpless things in this world.
I'm posting this Weibo because I feel guilty and hope to do something to make amends and help the innocent people who were hurt by me and her.
Qin Wei is innocent. I deliberately approached her, deceived her, and hurt her for money, hoping to make her give up her engagement with the Huo family...
Qin Wei, I'm sorry. I don't ask for your forgiveness; I just hope you won't be misunderstood and hurt anymore. I'm sorry.
Upon seeing this, Qin Wan couldn't help but chuckle softly, her eyes full of mockery.
These two have finally made their move.
She thought they were very composed.
Unexpectedly, it's nothing special.
After Qin Wei and Lu Bei posted these two Weibo posts, netizens criticized her even more harshly, and some even started doxxing her.
Qin Wan glanced at these comments indifferently and then looked away.
What surprised her most was Jiang Chen...
Qin Wan squinted and stared at Jiang Chen's Weibo post for a long time...
[Jiang Chen: The Qin Wan I know is the most beautiful girl in the world. Although she is frail and sickly, she has a beautiful heart and brings warmth to many people.]
Jiang Chen knew very well that words were inadequate in this situation, so he didn't say much and instead directly posted a bunch of photos of Qin Wan.
At the nursing home, Qin Wan, dressed in volunteer clothes, cleaned and tidied the rooms for the elderly, helped them take walks, and sang songs to cheer them up.
In the orphanage.
She is also a gentle and kind older sister who teaches children to sing, read, and draw, and buys them many books, paper, pens, and various learning tools.
Upon seeing these photos, Qin Wan frowned slightly.
Unsolicited kindness is either a sign of malice or theft.
What is Jiang Chen, this bad man, planning to do now?
The sound of knocking on the door interrupted Qin Wan's thoughts.
"You're still awake?" Qin Wan asked, surprised to see Huo Yan when she opened the door.
Have you checked Weibo?
"...Yeah, I just finished watching it." Qin Wan seemed to have thought of something, and her expression dimmed for a moment.
Seeing this, Huo Yan spoke up, "I've arranged a press conference, come with me."
"A press conference?" Qin Wan was taken aback.
"Hmm." Huo Yan said as he walked past her into the room, picked up her coat hanging on the hanger, and draped it over her shoulders.
"Put it on, it's getting colder outside."
As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Yan took her hand very naturally.
The scalding heat in her palm made Qin Wan momentarily lose her composure.
Half an hour later, Huo Yan brought Qin Wan to the second floor of the press conference venue.
In the lobby on the first floor, Mr. and Mrs. Qin were surrounded by a group of reporters.
On stage, Qin's father, holding a microphone, began his performance.
"The purpose of this press conference today is to clarify the online rumors about marriage by proxy that have been circulating these past two days."
"Here's the thing: our Qin family does have a marriage agreement with the Huo family, and the Huo family has their eye on my eldest daughter, Qin Wan."
At this point, Qin's father hesitated for a moment, and a clear look of struggle appeared on his face and in his eyes.
But his hesitation lasted only a moment before he continued.
"But... but my husband and I have always favored our younger daughter, and the marriage alliance with the Huo family is of great importance. Qin Wan is in poor health, and the doctor said she may not live past twenty-five."
“We are afraid that she will not live long after marrying into the Huo family, that it will affect the marriage alliance between the two families, and that after she dies, we will not be able to seek benefits for our Qin family.”
"So when our youngest daughter, Qin Wei, proposed to replace Qin Wan and marry into the Huo family as Mrs. Huo, my husband and I were tempted and took action."
"Everything was going smoothly. We told the Huo family without telling Wanwan that she was unwilling to marry Huo Shao through an arranged marriage. The Huo family did not force her, and Weiwei successfully became Huo Shao's fiancée."
"But we never expected that Weiwei would suddenly run away from the wedding so close to the date..."
"Fearing difficulties from the Huo family, and even more afraid of losing the opportunity for a marriage alliance with them, my husband and I had no choice but to force Wanwan to marry in his place..."
After Qin's father finished speaking, the entire audience erupted in uproar!
No one expected that the truth would be like this.
Considering the two Weibo posts by Qin Wei and Lu Bei, and Qin Wan's recent online backlash, the reporters present couldn't help but express their sympathy for Qin Wan.
miserable!
That's terrible!
Both are daughters of the Qin family, but the way their parents treat the two sisters is worlds apart.
Qin Wei was the apple of her parents' eye, a precious treasure they cherished and protected.
Qin Wan was a free gift with a phone top-up, the kind that was given away for free but still picked on and complained about.
It must be said that the behavior of Qin's father and mother was quite reminiscent of King Xuan of Qi during the Warring States period, who was known for his "Xia Yingchun when things were peaceful, and Zhong Wuyan when things were troublesome."
"We're all their own children, so why am I always the one who gets abandoned..." Qin Wan's trembling murmur rang out.
Huo Yan looked closely and realized that Qin Wan's eyes had quietly reddened and were filled with tears.
Huo Yan quietly came to her side and held her hand, offering silent comfort.
Seeing that he hadn't taken any further steps, Qin Wan no longer hesitated. She threw herself into his arms, wrapped her arms around his strong waist, and buried her tear-streaked face deep into his broad and warm chest.
Huo Yan was caught off guard by the hug and stood there stiffly, unsure whether to push Qin Wan away or let her go.
"I'll just lean on you for a little while, just a short while, can you please not push me away?"
As if sensing his awkwardness and discomfort, Qin Wan's muffled, cautious pleading voice came from his arms.
...
A few seconds later, feeling the gentle pats on her back, Qin Wan's lips curled up almost imperceptibly.
"Thank you," came the girl's soft voice of gratitude.
Huo Yan's large hand, which was patting lightly, paused almost imperceptibly, a complex feeling rising in his heart.
Even though she was feeling sad, she didn't forget to thank him. She was so well-behaved and sensible that it made people feel sorry for her.
[Huo Yan's favorability increased by 5, current favorability is 55.]
After sobbing for a long time, Qin Wan's emotions gradually calmed down. Just as she lowered her head and gently wiped her cheeks, a deep and resonant male voice that gave her a strong sense of security came from behind her.
"I'll be with you for the rest of your life."
"?"
Qin Wan's body stiffened at first.
The next second, she suddenly looked up, staring at him with a look of surprise and uncertainty...
