Shi Wan turned on her phone and opened the first news article that popped up. She read through some of the comments from netizens, and the more she scrolled down, the deeper her eyes became.
Noticing that Shi Wan's mood had changed, Lu Jingyan put his arm around her, took the phone from her, and said softly, "Don't look at it."
Shi Wan obediently handed over her phone, looked up at the man holding her with her watery eyes, and said softly, "Ayan, I'm hungry."
"Okay, I'll make it for you." After saying that, he walked towards the kitchen. The moment he turned around, his face turned gloomy and cold, and a chilling ferocity flashed in his eyes.
He raised his hand and called Zhou Yuan. At that moment, Zhou Yuan, who was in a state of panic at the company, saw that his boss was calling and his heart, which had been in his throat, was relieved.
"Boss, should we remove this trending topic?"
"First, organize all the previous videos and photos," Lu Jingyan ordered coldly.
"Wanwan, could this be related to Feng Yunzhou? I initially thought it was him, but then I felt something was off, even though he's a jerk..." Ji Meng paced anxiously back and forth in the living room.
"You! What have people been saying about Wanwan and me? One of you is busy making breakfast, and the other is so quiet. Are you just waiting for us to be attacked by netizens?"
"That's right! I need to get the government to suppress this matter and see how they can continue to spread rumors."
Zhao Zhilin rubbed his temples and pulled her into his arms. Ji Meng then realized what was happening and sat directly on Zhao Zhilin's lap.
"Mengmeng, the other side is already prepared. We can't suppress them if we don't take action."
Ji Meng struggled angrily in Zhao Zhilin's arms, but he held her tightly without moving.
"Then why don't you take action? Haven't we been smeared enough? Zhao Zhilin, if you keep going like this and don't say anything, I'll take Wanwan back to Y country tomorrow and make you two lifelong bachelors!"
“Mengmeng, calm down. This wasn’t Feng Yunzhou’s doing,” Zhao Zhilin patiently explained to Ji Meng.
“He’s busy filling the 1 billion yuan hole right now, there’s no need for him to do anything extra. Besides…” Zhao Zhilin glanced toward the kitchen, “Feng Yunzhou hasn’t given up on Shi Wan yet, he won’t hurt her at this critical juncture.”
"Hmm... I also think it wasn't Feng Yunzhou who did it this time," Shi Wan said calmly.
Shi Wan sat on a single sofa chair, holding a tablet and swiping her fingers across it incessantly. "Mengmeng, a portion of it is specifically targeting you."
He handed the tablet to Ji Meng, saying, "If it were Feng Yunzhou, he could have exposed our past and forced me to leave Lu Jingyan. There would be no need to involve you. But now, some of them are directly attacking you."
The front page news once again featured a bunch of trending search terms, this time about Ji Meng: "Famous Kyoto sisters exposed for promiscuous private lives abroad." The two of them instantly dominated the trending search terms across major media outlets.
"Me?" Ji Meng took the tablet and looked at Zhao Zhilin with a puzzled expression, while Shi Wan looked at him with the same look.
"It's probably An Cheng or An Mo." Zhao Zhilin took out a cigarette, lit it, and before he could even put it to his lips, he heard Lu Jingyan's voice coming from the kitchen.
"Zhao Zhilin, go outside to smoke. Don't let the smoke bother my Wanwan."
Zhao Zhilin frowned, stubbed out his cigarette, and looked at Shi Wan. "An Cheng has been crippled. He'll never be able to have sex again and will have to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair."
"Currently, only An Cheng and An Mo, the two siblings, are in the country."
Shi Wan's initial doubts instantly became clear. "So An Mo used An Cheng to attack Meng Meng?"
"Yes, a few years ago, An Mo used her own people to hunt down Mengmeng. When the elders of the An family found out, they took all of her men back."
“An Mo has no one on his side right now and can’t touch Meng Meng, so he can only cooperate with An Cheng.”
Seeing that Ji Meng in his arms had stopped struggling, Zhao Zhilin kissed Ji Meng's temples and said, "An Mo has been restless these past few years. Ever since Mengmeng went abroad, he has been hiring private investigators to investigate her. He may have also collected information about you during the investigation."
"Hmph! It's all your fault for causing all this trouble with women, now Wanwan and I have to bear the consequences!" Ji Meng scoffed.
“An Mo’s resentment towards me has been building up for a long time. She was delusional and forced you to marry her by stealing your love. Just because I didn’t say anything about it back then doesn’t mean I’m afraid to say it now.”
"But the matter of Wanwan being a mistress must be dealt with. Feng Yunzhou has harmed so much for Wanwan, and that Lin Zhiyu even dared to issue a statement saying that she was a victim."
"Don't think we don't know about all the things she and Ye Jiajia did before. There's no reason to sympathize with Lin, she's not a good person."
Ji Meng grew increasingly angry as she thought about it. She turned to look at Shi Wan, who was still calmly scrolling through her tablet, and frowned. "Wanwan, you should think of a way to fight back."
Lu Jingyan carried the freshly made milk sandwiches out of the kitchen and saw Shi Wan calmly asking, "What should we do? Take it off the trending topics list?"
Ji Meng: "Okay! I'll have all the media companies handle it immediately."
"What happens after they're gone?" Before Ji Meng could even be happy for two minutes, Shi Wan asked in return.
"The trending topics will come back even if we take them down. We keep taking them down, but others will keep posting them. It's a vicious cycle that only exhausts ourselves and wastes public resources."
"To kill them in one blow, we need to make things even bigger," Shi Wan said slowly, handing Ji Meng a glass of milk as she did so.
"What can the photos they have prove? They can't tell you anything if they didn't do it, no matter how much they embellish it."
“As for photos and videos, Qingqing has plenty, and they’re all more amazing than the last.” Shi Wan raised an eyebrow at Ji Meng.
"Qingqing?" She looked at Shi Wan as if waking from a dream. "What others can get, she also has; what others can't get, she can easily get too."
"Hmm?" Lu Jingyan looked at Shi Wan with resentment. "Can't I get it?"
Caught off guard by the man's sudden question, Shi Wan felt a lump in her throat. She suddenly forgot that this man's hacking skills were ranked higher than Ling Qingqing's in the world.
"Okay... then these are yours, alright?" Shi Wan handed the peeled eggs to Lu Jingyan with a flattering look.
"That's more like it. My wife is too smart; I'm almost out of ideas." Lu Jingyan said smugly.
Ji Meng looked at Lu Jingyan with disdain, "Your wife? Who is your wife? Did you buy a ring? Did you propose? Did you take wedding photos? Did you have a wedding?"
Lu Jingyan wiped Shi Wan's lips, a faint smile in his eyes, "As long as she's willing."
Shi Wan felt a little guilty under Lu Jingyan's gaze. Lu Jingyan had subtly hinted at this to her many times before, and the diamond he bought at the auction was also intended to be made into a ring for her.
Qingshan Yazhu has been under renovation recently. Although she doesn't know what he's working on, Zhou Yuan always reports the progress of the project to him personally, so she can naturally get a general idea of what he's doing.
Moreover, whenever Lu Jingyan sees someone getting married on social media, he always manages to get her to accompany him to look at various wedding magazines and the top ten honeymoon destinations.
He likes to include various cute baby emojis in his messages to her, and sometimes she wonders what this aloof and arrogant beauty likes about her.
