Just like she had expected, Wen Haowen agreed to step up and make clarifications in the end. Old Mr. Wen instructed Secretary Cao to begin preparing for a press conference and even announced the details of the press conference on the Wen Corporation’s official website.

The announcement sparked a sudden outrage amongst netizens who begun discussing it actively.

Old Mr. Wen had also taken the chance to hire keyboard warriors to spread the news about Wen Haowen clarifying himself to clear his own name, though he did not make it seem too obvious. Instead, he made the keyboard warriors express their opinions about Wen Haowen being set up by Yang Ziyu, in an objective manner. At the end of the day, Wen Haowen may have been wrong to have committed adultery, but it was only understandable and he was not so horrid as to be termed as a shameless and immoral scumbag.

The Wen Corporation’s stock prices stopped declining tremendously after the twist of events.

Wen Xinya was embroiled in more trouble before Wen Haowen’s scandal had blown over.

The controversial rumors about her circulating around the institute were getting out of hand. They were all about Wen Xinya’s abduction and the question about whether or not she had been violated still persisted. Of course, there were also those who gloated over her misfortune of being related to Wen Haowen. There were also some rumors and claims that she was a jinx who brought bad luck to everyone around her.

Wen Xinya was no fool and had already known since the first day of her return to school that Jiang Yuqian and Xia Ruxue were the ones who started spreading those rumors. Besides, she had also been receiving major attention, so was the Wen Family.

Previously, she decided not to pursue the matter because she was too busy trying to catch up with the work and revision that she had missed during her two-week break. However, that did not mean that she would sit back, do nothing and allow things to escalate.

Wen Xinya stood quietly in the bathroom with her back facing the basin, holding her mobile phone in hand and tapping away nonchalantly.

The school bell began to ring and it was time for class. Wen Xinya’s lips curled into a smile and she appeared fearless.

The door of the washroom was then pushed open.

“Get in!” A voice barked, after which two people were shoved into the washroom and flung onto the ground forcefully.

Jiang Yuqian fell straight onto the ground on her knees, causing a sharp pain in her knees which seemed to penetrate through her bones. Trying to bear with the pain, she hollered. “What are you people trying to do? Listen up, this is Lan Feng Institute, not somewhere that you can do whatever you want. You’d better let me go. Otherwise, I won’t let you off.”

Xia Ruxue’s head was slammed forcefully onto the ground and she got a giddy spell.

Jiang Yuqian received a tight slap across her face. “You’d better behave yourself, or I’ll teach you a lesson.”

Jiang Yuqian felt a sudden numbness in her face, followed by a strong heat in her ears. She teared up aggrievedly and said, “I’m Miss Zhang, you can’t treat me like this…”

Wen Xinya smirked and retorted. “Miss Zhang? Jiang Yuqian, you really like putting yourself on a pedestal. Isn’t your surname ‘Jiang’? What does that have to do with the Zhang Family?”

The Zhang Family had been struggling in the past few years and Jiang Yuqian’s father had been demoted last August. He had also slowly been alienated in the political scene in the nation. The conflict between the Zhang Family and Jiang Yuqian’s father had also been blown out of proportion and reported all over the media. It had also been reported that the Zhang Family was demanding a divorce and, once the divorce was finalized, Jiang Yuqian’s father would be nothing except an abandoned pawn.

Jiang Yuqian suddenly raised her head and looked at Wen Xinya in disbelief, as if she had just seen a ghost. “You… are you the one who made me get pushed in here? Wen Xinya, you’d better let go of me now. Otherwise, none of us is going to benefit from this if I blow it up and leave it to the institute authorities to handle this.”

Wen Xinya stared at them sternly, exuding a commanding aura and dominance. Jiang Yuqian suddenly tensed up and goosebumps formed on her skin.

Xia Ruxue shouted, “Wen Xinya, this is Lan Feng Institute. It’s not a place that you can do whatever you want. I’m warning you, don’t get too arrogant.”

Wen Xinya folded her arms and stood rooted coldly, appearing fierce and menacing. “So noisy!”

As soon as she finished speaking, the two girls standing beside her dashed forwards and gave Jiang Yuqian and Xia Ruxue a tight slap each, the crisp and clear sounds ringing in the air.

Wen Xinya was extremely pleased with the two girls whom Si Yiyan had arranged for her. They were smart and quick to act.

Jiang Yuqian clutched her face and her bloodshot eyes widened as she grew increasingly agitated. She hollered at Wen Xinya. “Wen Xinya, what rights have you got to hit me? What’s so great about you? Everyone knows that you’ve been violated when you got abducted and your body is tainted and dirty. You’re just a withered flower, and your father… got into an illicit affair and was caught red-handed in bed with his adulterous lover. Everyone knows that your family is full of scumbags and shameless dirtbags. Your family is disgraceful…”

Gritting her teeth in anger, Xia Ruxue glowered at them and barked. “Wen Xinya, you’re just a jinx who brings bad luck to everyone! Ever since you were born, your mother died and you caused chaos within the Wen Family after you reunited with them…”

Wen Xinya stared at them coldly before glancing at the two girls beside her. “Teach them a good lesson.”

At this very moment, Jiang Yuqian and Xia Ruxue were just like ants beneath her feet whom she could crush whenever she wanted. She would not tolerate them saying such things about her.

The two girls darted forward.

The sounds of slaps filled the air.

Jiang Yuqian and Xia Ruxue shrieked and yelled at the top of their lungs.

“Wen Xinya, you bitch, how dare you to hit me? I’m not going to let this matter slide. Just wait for the Institute’s authorities to punish you!”

“Wen Xinya, you shameless wretch. How dare you be so haughty! I won’t let you off…”

Wen Xinya fiddled with her ears and stared at them condescendingly, sneering. “You two look really awful. Trust you to have the cheek to call yourselves wealthy heiresses and socialites. You’re no different from those uncouth shrews on the streets. No… even those shrews are not as silly as you two. You’re being manipulated and yet, you still pretend to be close like sisters. How revolting.”

Jiang Yuqian and Xia Ruxue were in immense pain and their heads began to spin. At last, they stopped bawling and began sobbing feebly.

Wen Xinya said calmly, “Stop.”

The two girls let go of them and walked back towards Wen Xinya.

Jiang Yuqian’s and Xia Ruxue’s faces were red and swollen to the point that they were almost unrecognizable. There were bloodstains on the corners of their lips too, evidence of the strong impact. They huddled together and wept.

Wen Xinya sneered. “You two were the ones who spread those rumors about me, weren’t you?”

Jiang Yuqian and Xia Ruxue shuddered and their lips trembled, not daring to say a single word.
