Huang Chunlian was also keeping an eye on the trending topics.
In her heart, she too hated Lin Wanyi. Although she didn’t really care about her son Liu Renzhi, she despised Lin Wanyi even more.
She absolutely didn’t want a woman like that as her daughter-in-law.
So she was happy to watch the drama unfold, even fanning the flames to keep the buzz growing.
In her view, it would be best if Liu Renzhi never married at all.
After he grew old, everything he had would go to Chen Siming, since they were blood brothers.
Who else could his money go to but Chen Siming?
Huang Chunlian’s greatest wish was for Liu Renzhi to spend his whole life working for Chen Siming.
While everyone was scheming against Liu Renzhi, he and Lin Wanyi were in the hospital taking care of Li Suhua.
The doctor said she was recovering very well and wouldn’t have any aftereffects.
Lin Wanyi was delighted. Seizing the moment of her bright smile, Liu Renzhi leaned his head against her shoulder and took a selfie.
Lin Wanyi had no idea what he was up to:
“Why are you taking a picture?”
Liu Renzhi looked at the photo of him and her and felt very satisfied:
“Look, aren’t we a perfect match? Such a good-looking couple.”
As he spoke, he sent the photo to Assistant Chen:
“In an hour, make an official announcement under the Liu Group’s name, and immediately release all the other evidence and the identity of the mastermind behind this.
“This time, I’m going to make sure they can’t stay in City A at all.”
Lin Wanyi stared at him:
“What are you going to do?”
He kissed her forehead:
“You’ll find out soon. I’m going to slap everyone’s face.
“I’m going to make sure they all know that you are my future wife, my legitimate wife, Liu Renzhi’s wife.”
This time, Liu Renzhi was determined.
He had tolerated Nanny Wu and Zhou Chenyu over and over again.
But they kept getting more and more outrageous, more and more insane.
They had to go.
Nanny Wu was glued to her phone in the hotel. Wang Hao was also glued to his phone in his rental apartment.
Zhou Chenyu and Chen Siming were wrapped up in their own pleasures. She was waiting to wake up and see Lin Wanyi completely destroyed as a mistress.
She was waiting to watch Lin Wanyi be abandoned by Liu Renzhi. She was also waiting for Liu Renzhi to personally come pick her up and take her back to the Liu family as Mrs. Liu.
She had planned everything, but the one thing she didn’t plan for was that when she woke up, everything would have changed.
The entire narrative had completely shifted.
Nanny Wu had called her dozens of times, but she was so lost in her time with Chen Siming that she hadn’t seen any of it.
Nanny Wu was frantic. Online, the hashtags about Lin Wanyi being a mistress had suddenly vanished—not a trace to be seen.
In their place was the official announcement of Liu Renzhi and Lin Wanyi.
The Liu Group, in its official capacity, announced the wedding date of Liu Renzhi and Lin Wanyi.
They also released a couple photo of the two of them and a large family group photo from Su Jing’s birthday.
The facts were crystal clear. Lin Wanyi didn’t even need to speak up to defend herself—someone else cleared her name:
[Oh my god, can you people see clearly? Lin Wanyi is dating Young Master Liu. Just ask any AI—Young Master Liu is still a single eligible bachelor. Where on earth did this idea of a wife and a mistress come from?]
[Exactly. Mr. Liu is 35, Lin Wanyi is 30. The age gap is similar too. How is she an old mistress?]
But some people still refused to back down:
[Even if Mr. Liu hasn’t been married, he has a childhood sweetheart. She said they were about to get married, but this divorcee took him first. Isn’t that still being a mistress?]
[Yeah, exactly. This Mr. Liu really let his childhood sweetheart down.]
But others immediately jumped to their defense:
[What are you talking about? They weren’t married yet. So what if she’s a childhood sweetheart? What they’re doing isn’t illegal.]
People argued back and forth. Some spoke up for Lin Wanyi, but more people still felt bad for Zhou Chenyu.
However, Assistant Chen then released all the evidence about Zhou Chenyu and her mother’s true identities, along with the surveillance footage showing them drugging Liu Renzhi.
In an instant, the tide had fully turned.
No one spoke up for Zhou Chenyu anymore. Everyone was cursing her:
[Dirty and shameless. How can anyone be so low? She’s nothing but a servant’s daughter. Her employers treated her family kindly, and she has the nerve to act like she’s entitled to be the young mistress?]
[This is terrifying. They were so good to them, and this is how they repay kindness? The servant sets her sights on the employer? And won’t let him get married?]
[Oh wow, I need to go take a good look at my household help. I pay them to work, and they think they’re my in-laws? What kind of nonsense is this?]
[A case of drugging too? Absolutely disgusting. How dare she call someone else a mistress? I can’t even with her.]
Wave after wave of users online turned their fire on Zhou Chenyu:
[Isn’t this the story of the farmer and the snake? I guess you help some people at your own risk.]
[Right. You pay them to do a job, and they act like they own the place.]
[Laughable. She really thought her employer was her son? And that she’d become the old lady’s in-law?]
After cursing Zhou Chenyu, the internet mob turned on Wang Hao.
Assistant Chen also released evidence of Wang Hao’s domestic violence, as well as hospital records showing how he and his mother had prevented Lin Wanyi from returning to her family home and even fed Keke peanuts.
One clear piece of evidence after another. No one could argue with it at all.
Netizens flooded Wang Hao’s social media, tearing him apart:
[Jerk! Useless momma’s boy! She married you from thousands of miles away, and you listen to your mom about everything? Then why did you even get married? Just marry your mom!]
[Exactly. You think your mom is so great, and you’re so obedient? Have her give you ten sons. Pfft!]
[Deadbeat wife-beater, go die. You’re famous now. No stupid woman will ever marry you again. Haha, serves you right. You’ll be a bachelor forever.]
Wang Hao never imagined things would turn out this way. He had been waiting eagerly for Liu Renzhi to dump Lin Wanyi.
He had been waiting for Lin Wanyi to come crawling back to him, begging him to take her back to Wang Village.
But instead of Lin Wanyi coming, he got an army of furious netizens instead.
The same mob that had been attacking Lin Wanyi earlier tracked down Wang Hao’s rental apartment.
They threw rotten eggs, squishy tomatoes, and some even flung buckets of human waste.
Wang Hao shouted from the window:
“Are you all insane? I’m calling the police!”
But the mob was fearless. They shattered his window glass.
Shards of glass lodged into Wang Hao’s face, his body, his legs.
He screamed in pain:
“What do you want? I’m the victim here! I was cheated on! Why are you all coming after me?”
An auntie hurled an egg that hit Wang Hao square in the face:
“Go die! A worthless scumbag like you has the nerve to call yourself a victim? How dare you bully a girl who married far from home? I can’t stand it.
“Weren’t you always calling your wife a cheap outsider? Well, look at you now. You’re the cheap outsider here.
“Get out! Get out of here! What are you worthless outsiders doing in our city?”
Wang Hao tried to dig the glass shards out of his skin. It hurt. It hurt like hell.
He had to get to the hospital.
He absolutely had to go to the hospital.
Otherwise, he’d have glass shards and blood all over him.
But now he couldn’t even get out the door. Outside, a sea of people was packed in, all cursing him out.
Every single one of them wanted him dead.
He couldn’t help himself. He screamed back:
“What do you know? You don’t know anything! I didn’t do anything wrong. I’m the victim!
“Lin Wanyi cheated on me. I’m the one who got cheated on!
“I’m not a bad guy! I’m not! I’m not!”
