On that evening, the video of Nan Yan physically confronting her foster parents at Zhide High School’s entrance was posted online.

The video showed the scene where Nan Yan directly struck Nan Hongyang, excluding the preceding moments.

Manipulated covertly by An Muyao, the exposé that originally had little attention gained prominence and trended.

However, due to Nan Yan’s limited fame, nobody recognized her.

But soon, beneath the video, a group of “enlightened” individuals revealed Nan Yan’s identity in detail.

With the help of internet trolls provoking discussions, a string of accusations against Nan Yan appeared below the video:

[This is ridiculous! She returns to the wealthy household and now looks down on her foster parents? Actually laying hands on them, this is inhumane!]

[I have to say, those who grow up in the countryside and return to a wealthy home truly lack character. She must resent the foster parents who raised her.]

[No kidding, this is the first time I’ve seen such an arrogant and shameless ‘heiress’ from a wealthy family. Absolutely repulsive!]

[Someone like her doesn’t deserve to be part of the wealthy family; she should just stay in the countryside!]

[Haha, I just heard from a friend in the industry that this so-called ‘true heiress’ brought back from the countryside by the An family is truly useless. Apart from stirring up trouble and causing embarrassment, she’s good for nothing!]

[So what if she’s a true heiress? Compared to Miss An, who grew up in the An family, the difference is huge, she’s not even worthy of carrying her shoes!]

With individuals fueling the fire, the online matter escalated rapidly.

Late at night, Shen Junqing hurriedly came to find Nan Yan.

“Third Brother?” Nan Yan opened the door, a bit surprised that Shen Junqing would come to her unexpectedly.

Shen Junging followed her inside, his eyebrows slightly furrowed. His usually captivating peach blossom eyes were now filled with seriousness and concern.

“Sister Yan Yan, have you seen the online situation?”

“I’ve seen it.”

So it was about the online situation..

Nan Yan motioned for him to sit wherever, then headed to the kitchen to get some water. “Third Brother, what would you like to drink? Water, black tea, green tea, Sprite, cola, or an energy drink?”

“Mineral water is fine.”

Nan Yan brought two bottles of mineral water and handed one to him. She then sat across from him.

“Yan Yan, don’t worry about the online matter. I’ll find someone to help you

suppress it.”

“No need to suppress.” Nan Yan twisted open the water bottle and took a sip. “If I wanted to suppress it, I would’ve done it already.”

“Why aren’t you taking action then?” Shen Junging was a bit puzzled. “The online insults against you are quite harsh. Aren’t you bothered by it?”

Nan Yan lowered her gaze slightly, her voice calm and gentle. “If things don’t escalate, how can those plotting against me pay a sufficient price?”

“But now they’re all berating you, and public opinion is not in your favor.” Shen Junging was unusually serious, without his usual nonchalance. He truly regarded Nan Yan as a little sister and didn’t want to see her hurt.

“It doesn’t matter. If they want to berate me, let them. Their insults won’t make me lose an ounce of flesh.”

“Now they’re berating me, but after the truth comes out, their insults will be even harsher against her.”

This ‘her’ was, of course, referring to An Muyao.

Considering the continuous self- destructive behavior she had been engaged in, Nan Yan was planning to gift her something she would remember for a lifetime.

Shen Junging attempted to read Nan Yan’s face to detect any pretense of strength.

However.

…

He couldn’t see it at all.

Thinking of her methods and ruthlessness.

Shen Junging’s worried heart finally settled.

“If you can’t handle it, seek help from Third Brother. Don’t treat me as an outsider, okay?”

Nan Yan looked at him, sensing his sincerity. After a moment, she nodded.

” Alright.”

After Shen Junging left, Nan Yan returned and found several unread messages on her phone.

An Xiran had seen the trending topic and was asking about her situation.

Nan Yan tapped the screen and sent a message: “I’m fine.”

As soon as the message was sent, An Xiran called.

“Yan Yan, what’s going on? How did they come after you? Did you really get physical with them?”

An Xiran sounded anxious.

Seeing the trending topic, he had been worried, fearing Nan Yan might be mistreated.

Rather than answering him, Nan Yan asked in a calm tone, “Fourth Brother, do you believe An Muyao or do you believe me?”

Without hesitation, An Xiran replied, “Of course, I believe you!”

A gentle smile appeared in Nan Yan’s eyes. “That’s enough then.”

“Fourth Brother, this won’t last long. This matter will be resolved in three days at most. Don’t let it affect your mood; focus on your training.”

“Is it really nothing serious?”

“Yeah, if there’s a problem, it won’t involve me.”

An Xiran fell silent for a moment and said earnestly, “Yan Yan, Fourth Brother wants vou to remember that vou’re not alone. Even if vour parents don’t want you, you have Fourth Brother who wants you. I’ll always stand by your side!”

His words were like a warm stream, flowing into Nan Yan’s heart. She bit her lip and smiled. “I know, Fourth Brother.”

“If you can handle it yourself, then I won’t interfere for now. But if you can’t solve it within three days, I’ll help. Yan Yan, you can’t refuse!”

“Alright.”

“It’s getting late; rest early.”

“Yeah.”

The next day, Oin Lu still took Nan Yan to school.

Wu Yue drove in front, occasionally glancing through the rearview mirror at the two in the back seat.

Qin Lu wasn’t someone who surfed the internet, so until now, he was unaware of how far the news about Nan Yan had spread online.

Wu Yue saw it but hadn’t had a chance to tell him before Nan Yan stopped him from doing so.

As a recent follower who had just vowed to treat Nan Yan as future Mrs Oin, Wu Yue was in a dilemma.

However, seeing Nan Yan’s calm demeanor, he vaguely guessed that she had a solution.

So, he decided not to mention it for the time being.

He would say it when he couldn’t hold it in any longer…

The car stopped at the school gate.

Nan Yan was just about to open the door to get out when Qin Lu called her.

“Yan Yan.”

Nan Yan looked at him in confusion.

Qin Lu reached up to gently ruffle her hair, his deep gaze concealing his deepest emotions. He spoke warmly, “Don’t be afraid. Whatever happens, your big brother can handle it for you.”

“Oh…” Nan Yan obediently responded.

Qin Lu’s lips curved up slightly, forming a gentle arc. He said, “Go on, and remember, if anything happens, give me a call.”

Nan Yan seemed to be hit by a beauty attack, almost losing focus from his smile. It took her a second to regain her composure. Her throat felt ticklish, so she coughed lightly, then nodded. “Okay.”

After getting out of the car, Nan Yan took a slow breath, lightly pressing her heart to calm her racing pulse.

Liking someone out of her league was not acceptable…

She didn’t have that kind of courage yet.

After a deep breath, she lowered her hand, turned to wave at Qin Lu, and then entered the school gate.

Nan Yan showed no expression, letting the students point and gossip about her. She walked past them with the poise of someone who hadn’t heard a thing, her composure unaffected.

As soon as she entered the classroom, someone came to fetch her:

“Nan Yan, the homeroom teacher and the headmaster want to see you in the office!”
