Chapter 148 Suddenly it dawned on him that they were no longer husband and wife.
After this guess came out, everyone seemed to come to their senses.
"Oh right, aren't Shi Nian and Lu Yanzhi a couple? Then what about Han Wei at that auction?"
"According to previous investigations, Han Wei was not invited at all. She went with Lu Yanzhi and was considered his female companion."
"Yes, I remember there was a trending topic at the time, which was that Lu Yanzhi had only attended a few such occasions over the years, and Shi Nian was usually by his side, but that time it was Han Wei instead!"
"So what about Yining? Did Yining go with Fu Jinyan or went by herself?"
"This is interesting. According to the investigation, Yining has his own number plate. When Yining's fraudulent donation was exposed, it was pointed out that there was no record under Yining's number plate. Therefore, Yining was invited to go."
Immediately, various opinions began to circulate online.
Countless people began to revisit the original reports and videos.
"I suddenly realized something important. It seems Han Wei wasn't just there to freeload; look, she even wore a wedding dress-like gown. What does that mean? Is she openly provoking us?"
At that moment, the wedding dress-inspired gown that Han Wei wore became the most striking feature of her outfit.
"Didn't Han Wei say she wouldn't be a mistress? So what does this mean? Shi Nian isn't dead yet."
...
The online sentiment changes very quickly. Just a while ago, people were criticizing Shi Nian as a woman who was only after money and status and didn't dare to say a word even when her husband was seen with other women multiple times.
Now the criticism has turned into a complaint that Han Wei knew Lu Yanzhi had a wife, yet still acted intimately with him.
"Isn't this a live broadcast? Hurry up and answer! Han Wei, weren't you just pulling out your own funeral invitation? That means you're watching, so respond now!"
This post immediately received countless likes.
Suddenly, the pressure fell on Han Wei.
Han Wei is no longer in the live broadcast frame at this moment.
Having experienced being secretly recorded before, she dared not speak carelessly in places like backstage anymore.
So, she was already sitting in her nanny van.
At this moment, only her caregiver is by her side.
"Miss Han Wei, what do we do now?" The caregiver looked very anxious. "It's impossible to get it clean now. Who knew Yining was actually Shi Nian? We're doomed..."
Han Wei's face was contorted with rage. She glared at the caregiver, who immediately fell silent.
The recording studio over there was letting the previously eliminated singers come up and show their faces, and their singing could be heard from afar.
Han Wei took out her phone and called Jin Chong.
Jin Chong was also in a hurry, so he answered the phone immediately.
"Miss Han Wei, what should we do now?" Jin Chong was completely flustered.
In all their previous plans, Yining was not even considered as an option.
At that time, they all thought Yining was finished and were planning how to escalate the situation and make Yining the target of online criticism.
Therefore, he has absolutely no idea how to retaliate.
There is still time.
Han Wei forced herself to say, "I can stall for time by saying I haven't seen the comments online until the live stream ends."
"But now the situation is escalating. Shi Nian also has experts on his side, who are constantly expanding the influence of the hashtag #The real person who can't pay a cent is Han Wei#."
Han Wei closed her eyes, her mind racing as she thought. Finally, she looked at Lu Yanzhi over there.
...
On the other side, Lu Yanzhi was standing somewhere backstage.
He kept looking towards Shi Nian's private lounge.
He wanted to wait for her to come out.
He must have a serious talk with her.
His mind was filled with thoughts of Yining over the past few days.
Huo Er's words kept echoing in his mind.
"I think anyone with eyes could clearly see what Yining's physical condition was like in the previous periods."
Yes, he knew.
He even blamed Fu Jinyan.
She blamed Fu Jinyan for making her come out to work despite her serious injuries.
Looking back now...
She was so badly injured, all because of him.
He then recalled what had happened two days earlier when he was hospitalized at the First Hospital of City A.
He had recovered by that morning, and his assistant was helping him with the discharge procedures.
For some inexplicable reason, he remembered Lin Yuchen's words.
He wanted to ask Shi Nian what exactly happened when she was hospitalized.
Thinking about it, he did it.
He went to the front desk, found the nurse, and wanted to retrieve the medical record that Shi had read.
"Okay, Shi Nian, right? What's your relationship with her?" the nurse asked while clicking the mouse.
He subconsciously wanted to say that he was Shi Nian's husband, but then he suddenly remembered that they had already gone through a divorce, so they were no longer considered husband and wife.
In the end, he simply said, "I am her friend."
The nurse gave him a strange look: "She's a friend, and she's been hospitalized for so many days, and you haven't come to visit her? And why didn't you ask her yourself? Unless you can prove that you are a patient's family member, we can't disclose patient privacy at will."
Lu Yanzhi was speechless.
Thinking back now...
Lu Yanzhi closed his eyes. His feelings were complicated, and he felt that everything had become very chaotic.
Why is Shi Nian from Yining?
Shi Nian's attitude towards him.
And all these days, she's been hiding things from him.
These events, one by one, seemed to be telling him that something was slowly changing.
But he couldn't understand it, and he couldn't do anything about it.
An indescribable dull pain came from his heart, leaving him at a loss.
"Buzz buzz buzz..."
Just then, his phone vibrated.
Lu Yanzhi took it out and glanced at it; it was his grandfather's phone call.
As he hesitated about whether to answer the call, he saw Han Wei standing to the side.
"Brother Yanzhi." Her voice trembled, her eyes were red and filled with tears.
"What should I do?" Tears streamed down her face. "I didn't know Yining was her. Now, looking back at the previous episodes, I feel so... guilty."
Her tears seemed endless.
She wept bitterly, her voice broken:
"You know I don't want to hurt her, but given the current situation... Brother Yanzhi, tell me, what should I do to get her to forgive me?"
Lu Yanzhi looked at Han Wei.
He didn't know how to answer.
"Buzz buzz buzz..."
Lu Yanzhi's phone was still vibrating; the old man Lu was still calling and urging him on.
Han Wei's gaze also shifted to Lu Yanzhi's phone.
Looking at his phone, she continued crying, "Will you take her home? Yanzhi, will you... leave me?"
Meanwhile, on the other side, in Shi Nian's personal lounge.
Shi Nian saw it in the small group.
Another new theory has emerged online—
“When doing things, you should look at your original intention. Han Wei went to the charity gala because she really wanted to raise awareness for sick children, while Shi Nian just wanted to take things from Han Wei.”
