Shen Jun’s heart skipped a beat when he saw Feng Li. Only then did he remember that he had forgotten to ask her to stop moving.

Seeing how anxious Wen Yu was to get rid of Feng Li, Shen Jun did not dare to let his future brother-in-law know that he was behind this.

After Wen Yu and Feng Li made an agreement, the two of them went home separately.

Shen Jun glanced at Wen Nian, who was still watching the show at the side. He coughed lightly. “Wen Nian, hurry up and go upstairs. I’m going back too.”

Wen Nian nodded excitedly. She also wanted to quickly go back and find out about Wen Yu’s love history in his third year of high school. “Then I’ll leave first. Be careful on the way back. Send me a message when you get home.”

When Shen Jun saw Wen Nian go upstairs, he immediately chased after Feng Li.

The amusement park was a little far from the Wen family’s house. If they arrived late, the queue would have to line up on the road. Hence, Wen Yu bade farewell to his father and sister at 8 am and left early in the morning.

Because Zhou Mei did not send Wen Nian and Wen Xing off when they first went to the capital, she planned to send the father and daughter off personally this time.

At nine o’clock, the family packed up and prepared to leave.

Before Wen Nian left, she suddenly wanted to go to the toilet. “Dad, Mom, I’m going to the toilet. It’s not easy for us to get a taxi here. Head downstairs first and try to find one.”

Zhou Mei, who was already wearing her shoes, turned her head and responded, “Don’t worry. We’ll wait for you downstairs. Honey, 1 just realized that I forgot to pack the chili sauce. Can you go to the kitchen and get it?”

Wen Xing agreed and pulled his luggage to the kitchen door to get his things.

As Zhou Mei prepared to leave, she opened the door and was startled to find over ten people standing on both sides of the corridor, all of them gazing intently at her door. The sight of such a large gathering left her stunned and taken aback.

A young man in a cap reacted quickly. He took a recording pen and rushed to the door. “Hello, is this Wen Nian’s house?”

Zhou Mei nodded blankly. “Who are you?”

The others also squeezed to the entrance of the Wen family’s house. The narrow corridor seemed even more crowded.

“Hello, I’m a reporter from Daily Entertainment. My name is Zhou, and I would like to interview Wen Nian. Are you her mother?” the reporter introduced herself, but immediately followed up with a provocative question. “Do you know that your daughter secured the lead role in the movie through improper means?”

As other reporters witnessed the first interview being conducted, they didn’t want to be left behind and immediately interjected. “I’m a reporter from Zhou Ping Entertainment. Is it true that Wen Nian was engaged to Young Master Wei? There are rumors circulating on the internet that the Wei family called off the engagement upon discovering her ambitions to enter the entertainment industry and climb the social ladder. As Wen Nian’s mother, could you please provide a direct response to this question?”

Overwhelmed by the sudden accusations and pressure, Zhou Mei, who was an ordinary person with no experience dealing with reporters, frantically waved her hands and responded, “These are all false accusations! Slander! Rumors! Director Xu personally approached my daughter for the role. After filming, my daughter realized that she and Young Master Wei were not compatible and made the decision to end the engagement herself. It was not the Wei family who called off the engagement.”

Upon hearing the commotion, Wen Xing quickly rushed to the door of the house and positioned himself protectively in front of his wife. With a frown on his face, he confronted the cameras and expressed his anger, “What nonsense are you spouting?! Do you think 1 won’t sue you for spreading rumors?! Stop filming!”

These seasoned entertainment reporters were accustomed to dealing with individuals like Wen Xing. They were fearless and unwilling to back down easily. They had encountered celebrities and managers with far worse attitudes in the past. This situation was nothing new to them.

One of the reporters, undeterred by Wen Xing’s reaction, directed a question towards him. “You’re Wen Nian’s father, correct? Earlier, your wife mentioned that Director Xu approached her daughter. Is it possible that Wen Nian found a sugar daddy who influenced Xu Chang to cast her as the female lead in exchange for securing investment for the movie?”

Overwhelmed by the provocative insinuations, Wen Xing became visibly agitated, clutching his chest in frustration. He pointed at the reporters, his voice trembling with anger. “Nonsense! You people in the news industry don’t report the truth; you just make up baseless rumors. Are you even worthy of your profession?!”

Startled by the commotion coming from outside the house, Wen Nian hastily emerged from the bathroom. As she caught sight of the crowd gathered at the door, she hurriedly made her way towards them.

“Wen Nian is out!” A voice shouted from the crowd. The reporters waiting tried their best to squeeze forward. Wen Xing and Zhou Mei blocked the door.

Zhou Mei turned her head slightly and shouted anxiously, “Wen Nian, go back to your room!”

Wen Nian knew that these people’s target was her. If she left them, they wouldn’t leave either.. She had initially believed that Huang Yue was solely focused on her, but she hadn’t anticipated that Huang Yue would involve her parents in the situation as well!
