Wen Yan did not reveal who Mrs. He’s biological son actually was.
Old Master Si’s curiosity was piqued to the extreme. He hadn’t expected this to be a story within a story—a plot full of twists and turns that kept him on the edge of his seat.
Meanwhile, Wen Yan spotted the latest updates regarding Su Yu’er and He Xiuyuan through her gossip system.
[What a joke! Mistress Su almost destroyed the Wan family and Wan Jin. Yet, after Scumbag He took her back, she just put on a little show—crying, screaming, and threatening to hang herself—and the scumbag actually forgave her.]
[Unbelievable. He’s even standing on his high horse now, claiming that Wan Jin and the Wan family didn't suffer any actual harm. Instead, he’s complaining that Mistress Su’s reputation has been ruined in their social circles.]
[But Mistress Su has also realized that Scumbag He wants to have his cake and eat it too—keeping his wife at home while playing with his mistress outside. So, she’s come up with another vicious plan.]
[Hah! I was only afraid this uneducated fool wouldn't make a move. If she acts, she’ll be easy to deal with!]
[This time, I’m going to make sure she faces a public execution in front of the whole internet!]
Wen Yan stepped aside and immediately called Reporter Wang. As soon as Reporter Wang heard there was another massive scoop, he took an overnight flight from Ye City to Kyoto.
On Wan Yu’s side, things were going exactly as Wen Yan had predicted: He Xiuyuan was dragging his feet and refusing to get a divorce.
In front of both the He and Wan families, He Xiuyuan knelt and begged Wan Yu for forgiveness. He swore up and down that he hadn't cheated and had never betrayed her.
When Mrs. He told him to terminate Su Yu’er’s contract, He Xiuyuan agreed readily with his lips, but he didn't actually take it to heart. Currently, Su Yu’er was the top star of He Corporation Media; terminating her contract would result in massive financial losses.
Wan Yu no longer believed a word he said. She was dead set on divorcing him.
He Xiuyuan pulled Wan Yu aside, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at her. "Wan Yu, stop being so unreasonable. What good does a divorce do for you? Do you want to watch the Wan family go bankrupt?"
Wan Yu froze in shock.
"He Xiuyuan, my brother was almost sent to prison as a rapist, and you think I’m being unreasonable? From the moment it happened until now, has Su Yu’er offered a single apology? Your heart must have been eaten by dogs!"
She truly regretted not seeing his true colors sooner.
He Xiuyuan had never seen Wan Yu act so defiant. His eyes were filled with a mix of strangeness and irritation. "I’ve already knelt and apologized to you, what more do you want? Besides, your brother didn't actually lose anything. On the contrary, Su Yu’er and I have been tormented quite badly by that friend of yours, Wen Yan!"
Wan Yu swayed unsteadily.
She looked at the man she had loved for so many years, her nose stinging with bitterness. "Enough. If it weren't for Wen Yan, the Wan family would be ruined by now!"
He Xiuyuan refused to divorce no matter what. After a heated argument, the two eventually parted on bad terms.
***
Three days later.
Just as Wen Yan was about to head out, Old Master Si stopped her.
"Xiao Yan, I’ve had people tailing Su Yu’er lately. I’ve discovered she has a new plan."
Wen Yan blinked. "Grandpa, do you have some kind of secret intelligence agency?"
[The old man is impressive; he actually knows everything.]
Old Master Si stroked his white beard, feeling a bit guilty as he asked, "Do you know about her new plan too?"
Wen Yan nodded.
Old Master Si immediately called out to the rest of the Si family. "Let’s go, let’s go. We’ll accompany you. Maybe there’s a place where you’ll need our help."
Wen Yan: "..."
The whole squad was mobilizing again. Was this really a good idea?
Then again, she actually did have a use for her husband this time.
Reporter Wang acted as the driver, steering the car toward an abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city.
"Reporter Wang, start the livestream in ten minutes."
Reporter Wang didn't know exactly what kind of massive scandal was about to break, but Sister Yan’s scoops were always explosive and authentic. His eyes were practically glowing green with anticipation. Lately, his KPIs at the newspaper had been skyrocketing. It looked like he was on track for a promotion this year!
Sister Yan was truly his goddess!
After finding an excellent and hidden spot for Reporter Wang to set up the livestream, Wen Yan called Si Moyan to the side.
"Hubby, your hacking skills are legendary. Can you use those 'God-tier' skills of yours to help me control three people's phones? We can't let them find out that Reporter Wang is broadcasting live!"
Si Moyan looked at Wen Yan with dark, narrowed eyes. "I’m not just legendary at hacking."
Wen Yan blinked. "Oh? What else are you legendary at, Hubby?"
[Whoa, is this car heading toward the kindergarten?]
[After being coached by me, Wen Daji, for all this time, he’s finally turned into a pervert just like me.]
Si Moyan, "..."
So you actually know you’re a pervert?
Si Moyan leaned his handsome face a few inches closer to Wen Yan. His thin lips, set beneath a high nose bridge, tightened slightly. "Wen Yan, I’ve done quite a lot for you recently."
Wen Yan’s charming, flirtatious eyes flickered. "Mhm... and?"
The man pointed to his sharp, handsome profile. "Right here."
Wen Yan wasn't stingy or coy. She looped her arms around Si Moyan’s neck and gave his handsome face a direct, loud "mwah."
The corners of Si Moyan’s crimson, sexy lips curled into a faint, almost imperceptible smile.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Am I here to eat gossip or to be stuffed with dog food?" Si Jingshi’s voice suddenly piped up.
Old Master Si suddenly slapped the back of Si Jingshi’s head for ruining the atmosphere. "Your big brother finally wised up and took the initiative to ask for a kiss. Why are you coming out to cause trouble?"
Wen Yan turned her head to look at Old Master Si. "Grandpa, take this atmosphere-ruining dog out and shoot him."
Old Master Si nodded. "Fine. We’ll even hold a seven-day banquet to celebrate."
Si Youyou was laughing her head off in the back. Her family's atmosphere was getting better and better. She really loved being with her family now.
Si Moyan’s hacking skills were indeed formidable. In no time, he had gained remote control over the three phones Wen Yan had specified.
Ten minutes later.
Reporter Wang started the livestream.
As the number one entertainment reporter in Yecheng, he had millions of followers on social media. As soon as he went live, countless netizens who loved celebrity scandals swarmed in.
The camera lens showed a desolate wilderness and a dilapidated, old factory building.
The netizens were somewhat confused:
— Holy crap! What’s the situation? In the middle of nowhere? Did Reporter Wang get an inside tip that some celebrities are coming here for a secret hookup in a car?
— Reporter Wang’s leaks have been spectacular lately. I’m totally looking forward to this.
After several more minutes, the screen still showed nothing exciting. Reporter Wang didn't say a word or show his face. Some impatient netizens began to curse.
— What’s the point? If there’s no scoop, turn off the stream. Bottom-tier paparazzi really can't handle the big stage.
— If you don't leak something soon, I’m reporting this channel!
— What’s the rush? Our Lord Gossip doesn't act unless it's a sure thing. Once he does, it’s earth-shattering.
— Reporter Wang, I’ll give you one more minute. If I don't get to eat some good gossip, I’m going over there to collect your corpse.
Just as the netizens in the livestream were bickering, a commercial van suddenly drove into view.
The car door swung open, and a woman with a cool, edgy vibe stepped out.
As soon as they caught sight of her face, the internet erupted.
