Shao Ning was holding up a voice recorder.
"This pen recorded the inspiration for all my books. Back then, I didn't have a laptop and had to write everything word by word in a notebook. I was afraid of missing details, so I recorded all my ideas and details into it."
"The voice recorder has the timestamp for each recording. Put it on the big screen, and everyone will see everything clearly."
Wen Yan shot a glance at Si Jingyi.
Si Jingyi immediately took the voice recorder and walked towards the sound technician.
Shao Xue's hands, resting on her knees, tightened slightly into fists.
She didn't believe Shao Ning actually had any recording evidence.
She must be bluffing.
Shao Xue looked at Wen Yiheng. "I cooperated with you sincerely and in good faith, and for that, I offended Si Jingyi. Now he, along with your sister Wen Yan and Shao Ning, are ganging up to mess with me. Is your Wen family just going to stand by and do nothing?"
Wen Yiheng's gaze towards Wen Yan was filled with a hatred so intense it seemed he wanted to devour her bones.
But Si Jingyi had brought dozens of bodyguards. Even if they wanted to intervene, they couldn't.
"Miss Shao Xue, I believe you are the original author. That paralyzed sister of yours is definitely bluffing. Don't worry, our Wen family will always stand by your side!"
Shao Xue glanced at Shao Ning.
Shao Ning's confident look vaguely unsettled her.
Now she could only hope that Shao Ning's voice recorder would play nothing at all.
Si Jingyi quickly connected the contents of the voice recorder to the big screen.
The timestamps in the voice recorder started from 2016 and continued all the way to 2020.
It contained the inspiration for each book, the naming of protagonists, plot details, twists, character personalities, and other meticulous details.
There were also some plot points that weren't written into the books but were recorded in the voice recorder.
Any die-hard fan who had read the books could immediately match the details upon hearing them.
[Ahhh! My Treasure Author is actually Shao Ning!]
[This is truly guarding against fire, theft, and your own sister.]
[Are Shao Xue's fans still jumping around?]
Shao Xue's composure finally broke.
She couldn't very well claim the voice recorder was hers, could she?
Although she and Shao Ning were twins, they didn't look alike, and their voices were even more different.
"Fraud! Fraud! You're no genius writer!"
"Shameless, you even steal your own sister's work!"
Suddenly, someone threw a rotten egg at Shao Xue.
Shao Xue let out a sharp scream.
The expression in her eyes turned completely cold.
"Cut the live stream! Cut the live stream!"
Shao Xue ordered the Shao family bodyguards to smash the reporters' cameras.
The scene instantly descended into chaos.
Shao Xue walked up to Shao Weiliang and Mrs. Shao.
Mrs. Shao, feeling distressed, wiped the rotten egg off Shao Xue's face.
Shao Xue was trembling all over, her eyes icy and glaring at Shao Ning. "I never expected you to have kept such a trick up your sleeve!"
Bitch!
Why didn't she die after being raped?
Why did the person she sent spare her life?
The Wen family was all in complete disarray.
Wen Yiheng looked at the prepared contract, his brows furrowed almost into a knot.
Wen Yue also lowered her eyes, her face full of disbelief.
She knew the plot; in her previous life, the character Shao Ning never even appeared!
What on earth was going on? Had everything gone off the rails?
The happiest one was undoubtedly Si Jingyi.
Was this immense fortune finally going to come his way?
He had always wanted to collaborate with the genius writer. From now on, Shao Ning would sell him the copyrights, right?
Heavens, he really had to thank his wonderful sister-in-law!
However, the most explosive revelation about the Shao family hadn't even been served yet!
Shao Weiliang looked at Shao Xue, who was being pelted with rotten eggs and pointed at by the crowd. He draped his suit jacket over her shoulders and, with a pained tenderness, said, "Xuexue, no matter what, Daddy believes in and supports you."
Mrs. Shao nodded, glaring at Shao Ning with displeasure. "You and Xuexue are sisters. Even if you wrote them, what's the harm in letting Xuexue have them? Can't you be more generous?"
Shao Ning's eyes reddened with anger at her parents' words.
She had told herself not to care about their words anymore, but it still hurt inside.
What had she ever done wrong, since she was little?
Clearly, she was the one who had always been hurt and wronged!
Wen Yan let out a cold laugh. "Mr. Shao, your wife is right. You really should be more generous. After all, Shao Xue isn't your own flesh and blood, yet you're determined to protect her!"
"Keeping a little bastard with a naturally wicked streak by your side, I don't know whether to call you a big sucker or a big dumbass!"
Si Jingyi, who had been called a big dumbass by Wen Yan before, "..."
Sister-in-law, when dealing with scumbags, you should strike hard and curse them to death!
Si Jingyi walked over and spat in Shao Weiliang's direction. "Cuckold turtle, love-struck fool, helping the person who sold you out count the money!"
Wen Yan, "..."
Was he just parroting back all the things she had mentally called him before, word for word, and now directing them at Shao Weiliang?
Shao Weiliang was dumbfounded by the curses from this brother-sister-in-law pair.
Shao Weiliang's female secretary walked over, her expression cold and sharp as she looked at Wen Yan and Si Jingyi. "I have recorded your insults. Our company's legal department will have lawyers sue you!"
Wen Yan shrugged. "Oh my, I'm so scared."
Si Jingyi also raised an eyebrow with a sly, mischievous expression. "Sister-in-law, this Secretary Lun is really something else, huh!"
Wen Yan was almost amused by Si Jingyi's utterly shameless look.
Shao Weiliang's face was already unbearably grim.
Their Shao family held a certain status in the capital. He was flattered wherever he went. When had he ever been mocked and insulted like this by two juniors?
"Secretary Lun, contact the lawyers right now!"
Wen Yan raised an eyebrow. "Mr. Shao, are you really not bothered that you've been raising that bastard Shao Xue for twenty years?"
"You're sick!" Shao Weiliang roared.
If she weren't a woman, Shao Weiliang would probably have slapped her across the face.
"You're young, but is your brain not right? Spouting nonsense here, slandering the relationship my wife and I have had for over twenty years, and falsely accusing Xuexue of not being our daughter!"
"My wife was pregnant with twins back then. I went into the ultrasound room with her for check-ups, I saw all the reports. You say Shao Xue isn't my daughter, but Shao Ning is my own flesh and blood? Are you saying one womb can carry children from two different fathers?"
Wen Yan blinked. "Well... why couldn't it?"
"Pfft, hahaha—"
Si Jingyi was delighted by Wen Yan's teasing, slightly sardonic tone.
Shao Weiliang was already so angry he was about to see stars. He didn't notice Mrs. Shao's face pale slightly, a flash of guilt in her eyes.
This woman... couldn't really know something, could she?
No, absolutely impossible.
All these years, neither Shao Weiliang nor anyone else had noticed anything amiss. This woman had never interacted with her before; she couldn't possibly know.
Shao Weiliang pointed at Wen Yan's nose, trembling with rage. "Fine, I'd like to see what evidence you have. If you can't give a proper explanation, I'll immediately have you sent to the police station for defamation."
Wen Yan chuckled lightly. "Of course I have evidence. Look—"
