Chapter 69. Isn't what's mine yours?
Hu Hong's words made Zhang Ni, who was not far away, gasp.
Fang Han earns two to three million yuan in rent a year?!
So rich?
Gao Wen was indeed unaware of this matter. Before she could think about it, Hu Hong took her hand and said with great affection, "It's okay. If Fang Han doesn't give you money, Mom will. Mom has a little bit of money too."
Hu Hong skillfully introduced herself as "Mom" and demanded money, which terrified Gao Wen, making her face burn. She quickly went upstairs to attend class.
Zhang Ni was utterly shocked: "Engineer Fang has never mentioned this before; he's been so low-key."
“His dad says he’s a pragmatist, but I think he’s just a cheapskate,” Hu Hong said, counting on her fingers. “He grew up with four grandparents who all doted on him. All the inheritance is his. Neither his dad nor I know the exact amount, but I know it’s definitely more than that!”
"He didn't even give Wenwen a single penny to spend? What's he going to do with all that money? It's absolutely outrageous!"
Now, not only do the people at Yuhe Yoga Studio know that Fang Han is rich, but Gu Shujie also knows that Fang Han is quite wealthy.
Gu Shujie came to Fang Han's side and patted him on the shoulder: "I knew it. You're not very hardworking, so you're actually a hidden rich kid. You've been pretending to be poor for so long. You'll have to pay up today."
"What do you mean by pretending to be poor?" Fang Han asked, puzzled.
After relaying what Hu Hong had said, Gu Shujie put his hand on Fang Han's shoulder and asked, "You kid, just how much wealth do you have?"
Fang Han was speechless: "Don't listen to my mom's nonsense."
"Nonsense?" Gu Shujie asked skeptically. "How much rent do you actually collect in a year?"
"I don't know," Fang Han said, writing code without changing his expression. "It's not that exaggerated. I'm not really sure about the specifics either."
Gu Shujie's eyes widened: "You have so many houses and inheritances that you don't even know?"
He absolutely had to make Fang Han bleed a little; he had to treat the entire company to hamburgers, cola, and coffee!
That afternoon, another wave of trouble arose.
The reason is that Jiang Shuyan has been caught up in this round of cyberbullying ever since Lin Heng spoke out.
She had already broken off her engagement with Lin Heng, but she created a fake account to mislead netizens into believing that Gao Wen was a mistress. After being exposed, she frantically deleted comments and sold a lot of substandard products on her video account. She abandoned all moral principles in order to make money.
Jiang Shuyan already had a lot of haters, so it can be said that she has been backfired on by her own actions.
Unable to withstand such intense online bullying herself, she had no choice but to drag Gao Wen down with her once again.
As soon as Gao Wen finished class, Lin Siyue rushed over to find her, her voice urgent: "Sister Wenwen, please go check online."
"What's wrong?" Gao Wen asked, taking out her phone and logging onto a social media platform.
Jiang Shuyan is now directly confronting Gao Wen.
She posted a video, tearfully accusing Song Jie of blackmailing her by claiming she had become pregnant out of wedlock and shamelessly moving into the marital home of Jiang's mother and Jiang Chuanwen.
Jiang Shuyan said she had no choice but to move out because Song Jie stole her father, and even Lin Heng liked Gao Wen.
At the end of the video, Jiang Shuyan kept pressing her, saying that Song Jie and Gao Wen, this mother and daughter, had taken away the two most important people in her life, so what had she done wrong?
As Gao Wen watched the video's popularity soar, many people began to sympathize with Jiang Shuyan. It was said that when Song Jie had a child out of wedlock with Jiang Chuanwen, Jiang Chuanwen also had another girlfriend, and Song Jie was the mistress.
Jiang Shuyan's accusations were false; her real intention was to take the opportunity to expose the relationship between Song Jie and Gao Wen.
Song Jie is a mistress; this is undeniable, confirmed by many online sources, including Lin Siyue.
Gao Wen looked at the video uploaded by Jiang Shuyan, her red lips pursed, her face darkening.
Just then, her phone rang.
Gao Wen walked to the side to receive it.
As soon as the call connected, Song Jie's hysterical shouting came from the other end: "Gao Wen, how far are you going to harm me? What exactly are you trying to do? Why are you targeting Shu Yan? How am I supposed to live in the Jiang family?"
"Are you only happy if you drive me to my death? I should never have given birth to you in the first place. I should have strangled you. You and your father are both scum! I know you're deliberately trying to seduce Lin Heng. Don't I know what you're thinking? You think you can climb the social ladder like this? You're dreaming!"
Gao Wen closed her eyes. Before she hung up the phone, Song Jie's cursing continued: "I've known since I was little that you're no good. Who would want you?!"
Song Jie was exposed as a mistress, and her haters came back with a vengeance, trying to shift the blame for the mistress onto Gao Wen.
It's not impossible for a mistress's mother to give birth to her daughter.
Gao Wen didn't say anything and went back to the classroom to continue her lesson.
Lin Siyue watched Gao Wen's retreating figure, sensing her sadness and restraint. She wanted to offer comfort, but didn't know what to say.
She walked to the side and called Jiang Shuyan.
After the self-guarantee issue went wrong, Lin Siyue never contacted Jiang Shuyan again.
Jiang Shuyan was still very happy to receive Lin Siyue's call.
Lin Siyue said angrily, "Stop bullying Sister Wenwen online. Stop it and stop making trouble."
“That Song Jie is no good. She’s always wanted to have a son to steal what’s mine. Don’t you know that?” Jiang Shuyan was losing control of her emotions. “This isn’t my fault. Haven’t you always been on my side?”
“But this has nothing to do with Sister Wenwen,” Lin Siyue said indignantly.
"It's related to her, how can it not be related?" Jiang Shuyan pressed on relentlessly.
Lin Siyue had no choice but to hang up the phone.
As soon as she stepped to the front desk, everyone asked curiously, "Is Teacher Wenwen's mother really a mistress?"
On Gao Wen's social media platforms, Song Jie is being mentioned more and more frequently.
Song Jie is a mistress. She came to City A from a small town just to latch onto Jiang Chuanwen, a powerful figure. Gao Wen is now tied to Song Jie.
Many people also compared Song Jie and Gao Wen.
In particular, Song Jie was quite beautiful when she was young, and Gao Wen bore a resemblance to her.
Gao Wen had a live-streamed class scheduled for 7 p.m. Xu Mei originally wanted to cancel it, but Gao Wen went ahead with the live stream as planned.
Because of this incident, a lot of people came to gossip, and the number of viewers in the live stream doubled. Many people spammed the screen, and many haters kept using insulting words such as "mistress".
The entire live stream room was filled with smoke and fumes.
Before the live stream began, Gao Wen, facing questions from fans, smiled lightly and said, "According to Jiang Shuyan, we are both victims. When my father died, Song Jie took the compensation money, sold the house, and left. After that, my mother died, so her affairs have nothing to do with me. I worked part-time and studied to get into university, and I've persisted for so many years, treating myself like an orphan. There's no need to keep reopening old wounds; we need to look forward. Aren't I getting better and better? I hope Jiang Shuyan is too."
"As for Lin Heng, I'll say it again, that's your business, please don't involve me. Everyone's time is very precious, now let's begin the lesson."
Compared to Jiang Shuyan's emotional breakdown, Gao Wen remained unusually calm in front of the camera, speaking in a calm voice and revealing her family background in just a few words.
Numerous positive comments and likes:
What did Gao Wen do wrong? She was forced to reveal that her father died, her mother absconded with the money and sold the house, abandoning her, and that she had been living alone all these years. Jiang Shuyan really went too far.
[Wasn't that Song Jie's personal behavior? Jiang Shuyan is blaming Gao Wen? What did Gao Wen do to her?]
[I feel like Jiang Shuyan is using a fallacy. She was jealous and wanted to frame Gao Wen, but after it was exposed, she's using these things to play the victim. I've never seen Gao Wen play the victim; she's always been hardworking, ambitious, and relies on her abilities.]
Compared to Gao Wen's composure, I feel like Jiang Shuyan is "throwing a tantrum," which is really annoying.
......
Fang Han was in his office.
He watched Gao Wen calmly recount her life story in front of the camera, each word feeling like a blow to his heart, causing a dull ache.
Fang Han understood Gao Wen's inherent pride and strong will. She had never talked about her background. The last time Song Jie came to see her, there was some panic and confusion in her eyes. Later, she left.
This time, admitting in front of everyone what she was desperately trying to forget was like rubbing salt into her wounds.
Fang Han's expression grew increasingly cold, carrying the calm before the storm. He opened his computer and, without hesitation, edited and explained a video and chat log he had obtained that day. As soon as Gao Wen finished class, he posted it online.
The already bustling internet was suddenly thrown into an uproar.
When Jiang Shuyan saw the trending topic, she clicked on it and saw the exposed news and records. Her vision went black and her legs went weak.
*
Yuhe Yoga Studio.
When the receptionist was about to leave work, she knocked on Gao Wen's classroom door.
After the door opened, the receptionist said to Gao Wen, "Teacher Wenwen, I'm going back now."
"Okay, bye-bye." Gao Wen waved with a smile.
After the receptionist left, Gao Wen didn't train on her own; instead, she just sat in the classroom, lost in thought.
She looked at herself in the mirror.
From a young age, everyone said she looked like Song Jie, and even her personality was similar. So much so that Gao Wen now feels inexplicably disgusted whenever she hears someone mention her and Song Jie together.
Song Jie's words from today kept echoing in Gao Wen's ears: "I know you're deliberately trying to seduce Lin Heng, don't I know what you're thinking?", "You think you can climb the social ladder like this? Dream on!", "I've known since I was little that you're no good, who would want you?!"...
Even after I hung up the phone this afternoon, Song Jie kept bombarding me with messages, all telling Gao Wen to apologize to Jiang Shuyan immediately, and her attitude was extremely firm.
Gao Wen looked at these messages with disgust in her eyes.
She turned off her phone, wanting to be alone for a while.
Gao Wen didn't know how long she had been there. When there was a knock on the classroom door, she collected her thoughts and asked, "Who is it?"
The door opened, and Fang Han stood outside, holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand. He asked gently, "Is get out of class over?"
"get out of class ended a long time ago." Gao Wen stood up, a slight smile playing on her lips, and walked up to him, looking up at him. "Why did you buy me flowers?"
"I bought it for you because I wanted to," Fang Han said, handing the flowers to Gao Wen and taking her hand in his, their fingers intertwined. "Didn't you eat today?"
Gao Wen lowered her eyes and nodded: "I'm not hungry."
"Even if you're not hungry, you have to eat something," Fang Han said, pulling her along. "I made soup before picking you up. Shall we go back?"
"Okay." Gao Wen changed her clothes, picked up her bag, and walked out.
Fang Han held Gao Wen's hand, and she took his arm with her other hand. Thinking of what Hu Hong had said today, she looked at him teasingly and said, "So you're even richer than I thought, Young Master Fang."
Fang Han was helpless. He had been teased by many people today. He turned his head and lowered his eyes to explain to her, "I didn't mean to lie to you or hide anything."
"I know." Gao Wen nodded, moving closer to Fang Han. "Did I just stumble upon a rich man by accident?"
During my internship, everyone said that Lin Heng was a local and that his family owned a courtyard house. However, according to Lin Siyue, the Lin family did not own a courtyard house; it was Lin's mother's cousin who owned one. Their family only had a large villa in the suburbs, which was naturally incomparable to a courtyard house.
On the contrary, Fang Han's family truly owns a courtyard house, and also quite a few other houses.
Gao Wen hadn't thought about any of that. When she and Fang Han were in the rented apartment, she felt very safe and secure with him. She was also able to earn some money now, and they were just living a simple and peaceful life.
Now, with all of this, plus the matter of Song Jie, Fang Han's family background has become a source of pressure for her.
Fang Han held Gao Wen's hand even tighter: "My mom is exaggerating. It's not because of that between us. Besides, you'll be making a lot of money in the future."
Gao Wen nodded vigorously: "That's true, I have quite a lot of confidence in myself."
Fang Han: "Even if I don't, it's okay, I'll try my best."
......
The two returned to Fang Han's shared apartment.
He served Gao Wen soup and steamed her favorite corn and shrimp dumplings.
"Where did this come from?" Gao Wen ate one, satisfied with the first bite.
"My dad made some this afternoon and he brought them over," Fang Han said.
When Gao Wen heard that Fang Hongming had made the food, she slowed down her eating. She ate another piece without asking any further questions.
Hu Hong said that she is now her so-called die-hard fan online, and Hu Hong should know about today's events.
Gao Wen hadn't opened WeChat, and Hu Hong would definitely ask her about it, but she didn't know how to explain or reply.
After finishing her meal, Gao Wen didn't stay in the living room; she went to Fang Han's room.
Fang Hanxin bought a beanbag chair, and she especially loves to curl up on it.
It took Gao Wen a long time to mentally prepare herself before she opened WeChat, and sure enough, Hu Hong sent her a message.
She was a little nervous. Before she could even open Hu Hong's voice message, she received a bank notification to transfer money.
Upon seeing the string of numbers followed by several zeros, Gao Wen was suddenly startled and quickly clicked on Hu Hong's voice message: "Wenwen, Mom saw the news online. It's so outrageous. Don't take it to heart, don't pay any attention to it."
"Mom transferred some money to you. Go buy some nice clothes and some good food. Try to cheer yourself up."
"You're a good kid, I know that. You're so pitiful. If Fang Han treats you badly, I won't forgive him!"
......
Gao Wen had expected Hu Hong to ask her some questions, but she didn't expect Hu Hong to be completely on her side, not even asking about the details of the incident, and her tone was full of favoritism and concern for her.
For a moment, Gao Wen's eyes swelled and stung, and she took several deep breaths to calm them down.
I actually felt a little wronged.
There was a noise outside the door, and Gao Wen leaned back, curling up on the sofa.
Fang Han opened the door and walked in. Gao Wen looked at him with a troubled expression: "Your mother transferred money to me, a million yuan, and told me not to be shy and not to transfer it back to her."
Gao Wen was too embarrassed to tell Fang Han that Hu Hong called herself her mother.
Gao Wen thought she had misread the money when he saw a million dollars being spent so quickly.
Fang Han looked up and rubbed his forehead: "She called me today."
"What did you say?" Gao Wen asked.
"It's nothing." Fang Han didn't say much. How could he tell Gao Wen that Hu Hong had criticized him for an hour, criticizing him the whole time, saying that he didn't know how to date and that he should be careful not to never have a girlfriend?
She looked up at Fang Han: "What are we going to do with the money your mother transferred?"
She doesn't know how to handle so much money.
"Keep it, don't worry about it too much," Fang Han said, taking a box out of the cabinet. Inside were some property deeds, bank cards, and various contracts. He pulled up a chair and sat down next to Gao Wen.
"What are you doing?" Gao Wen asked, sitting up straight involuntarily when she saw Fang Han's posture.
Fang Han took out two of the bank cards. He gave one to Gao Wen and said, "There are some fixed deposits in here. I forgot how much it is." He then gave Gao Wen the other card. "This card is for collecting rent. The housekeeper will transfer the money to this card."
"The housekeeper?" Gao Wen raised an eyebrow.
"Hmm." Fang Han explained that he didn't have much to do to handle these matters, and the houses and shops weren't located together. The "housekeeper" would be responsible for collecting rent, viewing properties, renting them out, and a series of other issues.
"Butler—" Gao Wen was processing something beyond her understanding of Fang Han. She glanced at Fang Han again, "Alright."
"I have some money in my investment account and some in my stock account for investing. This part mainly comes from my salary and part-time income," Fang Han said, taking out his phone to open his account.
"You don't need to show it to me, I don't check the accounts." Gao Wen quickly reached out to stop her.
Fang Han covered Gao Wen's hand, holding it in his own, and looked at her with deep, gentle eyes: "From the moment we got together, we have been one. There are some things I need to tell you."
"I've changed the PINs for those two bank cards to your birthday."
Gao Wen was surprised again. She looked at the bank card in her hand: "Isn't it necessary?"
They've only been dating for a short time, but it feels like things have suddenly sped up.
Isn't it said that husband and wife are one?
"In my opinion, I need to do this. If the way we interact makes you uncomfortable, you should tell me. This is also my first time being someone's boyfriend, and I want to do my best." Fang Han stroked Gao Wen's hand, his eyes filled with gentle tenderness.
“You are very good, a very good boyfriend,” Gao Wen said.
"Thank you for your affirmation, I will continue to work hard." Fang Han smiled as he flipped through the box. Inside, besides some property deeds, there were some bank cards and large fixed deposits, as well as some insurance and wealth management products. He smiled helplessly, "These were all left to me by my grandfather and maternal grandfather. Some of them can only be received when I retire. They said that even if there is inflation, they can still treat me to a piece of candy every month."
As Hu Hong said, these were all left to Fang Han by the four old men. Moreover, Hu Hong was not exaggerating at all; Fang Han was simply too low-key and easygoing.
He himself doesn't know how much there is, and even now, he hasn't deliberately counted it.
Looking at the investment insurance policies, Gao Wen could deeply feel the love the four elderly people had for Fang Han.
It had nothing to do with money; she simply envied him for growing up in such an environment, which was why he became such a good person.
*
When Gao Wen left the shared apartment.
Two bank cards appeared in her bag.
Fang Han gave it to her, saying that it was her main source of income and a large fixed deposit, so she should receive it.
The reason is that it's their family custom, and Hu Hong also manages the family's money.
Gao Wen felt that something was wrong; their relationship hadn't reached that stage yet, had it?
But Fang Han thought so too.
Fang Han held Gao Wen's hand and walked slowly with her towards her rented house: "Once we find a suitable house, we'll buy it and decorate it the way you like. It will have large floor-to-ceiling windows, a study, a gym, a walk-in closet, and preferably a terrace where we can grow flowers."
Upon hearing this, Gao Wen suddenly remembered that her initial purpose in telling Fang Han these things was to scare him away.
Gao Wen never expected that the reason Fang Han didn't react was because he didn't think it was a big problem; the clown was actually herself.
"Aren't you afraid I'll run off with your money?" Gao Wen couldn't help but ask.
That's no small sum.
"Why did you take my money?" Fang Han asked softly, his gaze gentle as he looked at her. "Isn't what's mine yours?"
Gao Wen suddenly displayed a touch of the arrogance of a woman in love: "I took all your money, it's all mine, not yours."
Fang Han stopped and helped her put the hood of her down jacket on. "That's yours."
He didn't sound like he was joking at all, and Gao Wen laughed.
Fang Han reached out and pulled Gao Wen into his arms, resting his chin on the top of her head, his words full of affection: "You have to be happy. If anything happens, just tell me. I'll always be on your side, supporting you unconditionally and staying by your side."
"You are great, wonderful, and excellent. You have done your best, and you will only get better and better in the future."
Gao Wen was still emotionally affected by Hu Hong's words, but when she heard Fang Han's words, she knew that he must also know about what happened online. She raised her head in his arms, and her eyes welled up with tears for a moment.
She took a deep breath, feeling even more aggrieved than before.
Fang Han hugged her tighter, lowered his head slightly, their noses touched, their breaths mingled, and his lips gently covered her red lips, tenderly lingering.
Gao Wen returned home with a flushed face, and after taking a shower, she video-chatted with Fang Han for a while.
They completely forgot about what happened online.
Before bed.
Gao Wen casually scrolled through social media, thinking the best outcome would be a "draw," but unexpectedly, public opinion was overwhelmingly in favor of her.
Gao Wen was stunned when she saw the latest news.
There was this twist too?
Lin Siyue sent a voice message to Gao Wendu, her voice trembling with tears: "Sister Wendu, I'm sorry. I didn't know Jiang Shuyan was involved in the rumors about you last time. The money she made me vouch for was used to cover up the previous mess, wasn't it?"
“I feel like I also helped her do something wrong. I should have told my brother in time, and things wouldn’t have turned out like this.”
According to netizens' analysis of the videos and audio recordings exposed on the trending topics, the person behind Fan Ying's alleged hiring of trolls to spread rumors was actually paid for by Jiang Shuyan. After the incident, fearing she would be implicated, Jiang Shuyan spent a large sum of money to get the other party to admit to everything.
As a result, the curator's husband gambled away all the money and continued to pressure Jiang Shuyan for more. Audio recordings of the two arguing were leaked.
It is said that Jiang Shuyan gave a total of 20 million yuan, a significant portion of which was a loan.
Xu Mei has already contacted a lawyer, and Jiang Shuyan must also be held accountable.
Gao Wen was speechless and wanted to laugh.
Twenty million? Is she really worth that much?
Just as Gao Wen was thinking this, she saw the two bank cards in her bag, and her eyes immediately curved into a smile.
It does seem to be valuable, at least that's what Fang Han thinks.
