Xiang Wanwan twitched the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a relatively gentle expression. "Mr. Mo, you're too kind. Miss Mo is just young, but I think she's very courageous. I wouldn't say she's caused any trouble, but perhaps, she's even helped me a little."
"Miss Wanwan, please don't say anything childish. She is only a month younger than you. You can already stand on your own, but what about her?"
Mo Fengchang caught his daughter and scolded her, then explained the whole thing.
The Mo family is a partner of the Runjia Group and has a strong relationship with its new media subsidiary. His daughter, Mo Li, is also a pampered, wealthy, and beautiful girl, obsessed with watching the show without regard for the consequences. Upon hearing that Xiang Wanyi was planning to break off the engagement live, Mo Li used her father's connections to join the livestreaming team.
Yesterday, Pei Xingyao ordered to cut off the live broadcast, but Molly took the initiative to turn off the screen projection and switched the microphone of the live broadcast device to headphone mode. In fact, the live broadcast was not turned off.
The live broadcast team was so overwhelmed by the real and fake daughter incident that they just watched the show. On the way back to the company, the person in charge found that the company boss had called him all the time and his WeChat was bombarded with one-minute voice messages.
The team leader realized something was wrong and rushed to investigate, but Molly had already driven away. Her background was powerful, so the team leader had no choice but to contact her parents.
When Xiang Wanwan heard this, she looked at Mo Fengchang calmly.
In fact, she had guessed yesterday that if the live broadcast incident was an employee's mistake, they would have been brought in to apologize long ago. Only those with connections who couldn't even control the team leader could afford to escape on the spot.
Xiang Wanwan decided at that time to put the live broadcast on hold for the time being, to see whose child got into trouble and what the parents’ attitude was, and then decide what to do.
She had assumed this was the child of a senior executive at Runjia, but unexpectedly, it was just the daughter of a partner company. To the Mo family, Runjia was just one of the partner companies. Mo Fengchang could easily wait until the power struggle over Runjia Investment was resolved before bringing her up to apologize or claim credit.
However, early this morning, Mo Fengchang brought his daughter to apologize.
In her previous life, Xiang Wanwan started working at 20, starting as a lowly employee and working her way up to the position of First Assistant in the board office at the group's headquarters. Even though she was known as a "hammer" swordsman, she was still a masterful one. The Mo family was clear-headed and sided with her at crucial moments, so how could she possibly embarrass them?
Xiang Wanwan was just preparing to find a suitable opportunity to interrupt Mo Fengchang's endless self-blame and apology, when the system's voice rang in her ears.
"Congratulations to the host for successfully resisting the 'Funeral Hosting' event. This operation changed the storylines of two characters and earned 200 awakening points. Balance: 200 awakening points."
Gaining awakening points was expected, but only 200 points?
Xiang Wanwan thought carefully. In the original novel, Xiang Yongkang presided over the funeral. Xiang Wanyi and Ding Zhiyuan had nothing to do with each other. The funeral incident only affected Xiang Yongkang's decision-making position at Runjia Investment. Therefore, if she took over the funeral hosting rights, it would only change the plot line between herself and Xiang Yongkang.
It had no impact on the male protagonist and Xiang Wanyi.
In other words, the male protagonist will still use the name of the Du family to cheat people everywhere and solicit investments?
No, she doesn't allow it, the male protagonist can forget about it.
Xiang Wanwan asked, "Aside from modifying and erasing the male protagonist's harem system, are there no other uses for awakening points?"
"System confrontation is the most basic function of this system. In addition, we will gradually open up the redemption function for you. Now, based on your progress, we will open the original name query function for you, 50 awakening points each time."
Could she even look up the original novel? That would be fantastic. The original novel was a sleazy, watery novel with numerous characters and settings, nearly 10 million words. Xiang Wanwan had only dreamed about it all night, so she couldn't quite remember many of the details. Being able to look it up would be a real help.
Xiang Wanwan: "Search for 'Molly'."
System: "OK, the results for 'Molly' have been retrieved for you."
Xiang Wanwan quickly glanced through it and almost raised an eyebrow.
In the original novel, the male protagonist has a harem of female idols. They repeatedly try to discredit their rivals, but their PR assistant manages to thwart them. To ensure his harem's victory, the male protagonist schemes to get the assistant into bed with her fiancé. The assistant, forced into a pregnancy-related marriage, is forced to become a stay-at-home mom. Soon, the male protagonist's harem is discrediting their rivals online, forcing them out of the entertainment industry.
That PR assistant is Molly.
Is this another person indirectly harmed by the male protagonist? Xiang Wanwan had an idea in mind.
"Mr. Mo, your daughter was just having fun for a moment. She's already realized her mistake, so please stop scolding her." Xiang Wanwan gently persuaded Mo Fengchang, looking at Molly, who lowered her head. "What did Miss Mo study in college? Was it new media?"
"It's finance." Molly, having endured countless scoldings that evening, was already languishing, her response weak. "New media is just my hobby."
"Really?" Xiang Wanwan said softly, "I think Miss Mo has a talent for new media. Well, since you've gotten into trouble, I'll punish you by making amends. I'll give you full responsibility for resolving today's Weibo rumors. How's that?"
Molly looked up suddenly, her eyes bright: "Really?"
Mo Fengchang hurriedly stopped her, saying, "Miss Wanwan, how can this be possible? Lily is still a child..."
"Don't worry, Mr. Mo. Let her be the 'mastermind' in this matter. If it succeeds, the credit will go on her resume. If it doesn't work out, it will be put on my name. I was desperate and tried the wrong person outside the circle." Xiang Wanwan looked at Mo Li, "Ms. Mo, do your best. Don't worry about the consequences. Just tell me if you are willing or not."
"I do!" Molly grabbed her father, who was about to speak, and said repeatedly, "Sister Wanwan, please let me do it! I was furious after reading Weibo last night. I've already thought of a thousand ways to piss Xiang Wanyi off. Just wait, I'm going to win you a good public opinion battle!"
"You child...ah!" Mo Fengchang doted on his daughter so much that he couldn't stop her. He could only habitually find ways to make amends for his daughter.
After seeing off the Mo family father and daughter, Xiang Wanwan continued to return the greetings and stood there for a whole day.
Anyone could see that she was in very poor health, with a pale, sickly complexion. The black linen dress she wore seemed to overwhelm her.
It is human nature to sympathize with the weak, and the guests who went to pay their respects all felt heartbroken when they saw this.
Just then, a post was published on the largest gossip forum on the entire Internet.
"Fuck! I saw the pictures posted on WeChat Moments! Yesterday, XWY wore a dress, jewelry, and heavy makeup for the live broadcast!"
0L: No picture, no truth.
1L: What the hell??? Grandpa just passed away and he's already live streaming with heavy makeup? Is XWY still human???
At first, some people thought that the picture posted by the poster was photoshopped, but soon someone posted a video version.
13L: Finally someone said it! I'll put it on record. Red lipstick, jewelry, dress, live broadcast, dead grandfather, inheritance, Xiang Wanyi, you are indeed you.
The video shows the part where Xiang Wanyi scolds the makeup artist and asks her to change to a bright red lipstick.
It just shocked the onlookers.
Family affection is always the lifeblood of normal people. Xiang Wanyi's behavior directly stepped on the bottom line of the onlookers.
29L: Not wearing black for mourning is fine, but this color?! Her grandfather just passed away! How dare she claim she's also a granddaughter? If I were a Du family member, I'd slap her to death!
41L: I felt sorry for her yesterday. Does this woman have a conscience?
45L: God is merciful, allowing the real daughter to return at the critical moment. Otherwise, if the 900 billion inheritance fell into her hands, wouldn't she have broadcast the old man's burial live and danced on his grave?
55L: I give up. The old man has raised her for twenty years, but she doesn’t even want to pretend. She is worse than a piece of barbecued pork!
71L: What's that? I heard the fake daughter was causing trouble at the funeral today, insisting on paying respects to the old man. The real daughter asked her directly: Are you paying respects to the 900 billion or to your grandfather? The fake daughter couldn't even answer.
104L: She is not filial to her grandpa, but to his money!
110L: Not surprising at all, XYK's daughter! This Phoenix man is notorious in the wealthy world. When he was young, he rose through the ranks as an assistant, married a top-tier, wealthy, and beautiful woman, then his first wife died in childbirth. Within two years, he married a beautiful secretary. Relying on his handholding of XWY as the heir apparent, he hasn't visited his first wife's grave in 18 years, nor has he had any contact with Mr. D. This isn't a secret in the wealthy world; just ask and you'll know.
121L: At the funeral today, XYK gathered a group of directors and executives to cause trouble, but was forcibly driven away by the real daughter. If it were someone with a weaker personality, they would have been gnawed to the bone by this top-notch duo of Phoenix Man and fake daughter.
140L: No, I've been wanting to ask this for a while now. Didn't the real daughter hint at XYK taking all of Bai Fumei's inheritance during yesterday's livestream? Isn't that terrifying to think about?
178L: I've been wanting to say this for a while now. Yxh posted the exact same content last night. Am I the only one who figured out it was bought? It's just a fake daughter trying to pass herself off as a real daughter by using filial piety!
200L: Awesome, this is what yxh calls a “filial granddaughter”?
…
The post went viral soon after it was published, full of negative information about Xiang Wanyi and Xiang Yongkang. It was then picked up by marketing accounts and quickly spread across the internet.
When the wall falls, everyone pushes it. Xiang Wan has been offending people in the wealthy circle for a long time. Not only did someone tell others what happened at the funeral that day, but someone also recorded yesterday's live broadcast and edited it into audio and spread it out.
Photos, videos, and audios are all solid evidence, and the onlookers directly scolded Xiang Wanyi to the top of the hot search list.
"That's how it should be!"
"Let that woman be so arrogant! She doesn't even look at herself..."
The maid's scolding was heard, faintly echoing in the silent corridor.
Pei Xingyao silently carried the tray upstairs, knocked on the door three times rhythmically, and then walked in.
Xiang Wanwan sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, resting in a rocking chair. The dim light shone on her face, making her look even paler.
But she was still unwilling to rest. She held up the tablet and read the online insults.
The hand resting on the armrest had a protruding wrist bone.
Pei Xingyao's Adam's apple slid a few times, and he swallowed all the pity and anger in his heart, lowered his head and frowned.
He offered no comfort, nor did he dare to express his concern.
He knew that this person was very strong-willed and unwilling to show his vulnerability easily.
I have no idea that people around me will feel sad.
Sighing secretly, he put down the tray and said, "Miss, the ginseng tea is ready."
After a pause, he added, "You don't have to feel sorry. The time has not come yet."
Xiang Wanwan raised her eyes, her dark pupils filled with fatigue, but she suppressed it in an instant. She stared at Pei Xingyao for a moment, then smiled: "I really didn't choose you wrongly."
Yes, it's a pity for her.
Unfortunately, all the insults online were directed at Xiang Wanyi, and only a few words were directed at Xiang Yongkang.
Because there is solid evidence for Xiang Wanyi's actions, but everything about Xiang Yongkang is just speculation.
There is no real evidence.
Pei Xingyao’s other statement was also very true: the time has not come yet.
Xiang Yongkang is an old fox. If he were so easy to deal with, my grandfather would not have died without finding any evidence against him.
"I'm not in a hurry." Xiang Wanwan picked up the ginseng tea, drank it slowly, and asked, "Did you receive it?"
"Yes, Vice President Yao has submitted his resignation."
Xiang Wanwan put down the bone china teacup, picked up the envelope, opened it, and smiled: "What do you think he is betting on?"
"I bet..."
At the other end of the city, in a large flat with a superb night view, Yao Kehan, holding a goblet, smiled and said to Xiang Yongkang:
"Your precious daughter wouldn't dare to resign from me."
