Transmigrated as the Stepmother of a Rebellious Heir-Chapter 150 - 89: Counterattack
Chapter 150: Chapter 89: Counterattack
Not responding would let the media saturate this wave of heat, and netizens finish this juicy gossip. By tomorrow, they would be lured away by the next piece of gossip.
Given the speed at which online audiences consume scandals, within no more than three days, Shu Wan’s issue would be forgotten.
However, Shu Wan was now not only confronting the major media head-on but also said she was waiting for her college entrance exam results.
Normally, college entrance exam results are announced about half a month after the exam, meaning Shu Wan deliberately extended the duration of this negative trending topic by another half month.
And that’s not all, after all, when Shu Wan’s disastrous exam results come out, Wang Tian dreads to think what kind of mockery she will face from netizens.
It’s sinning, Wang Tian felt that, during this time, following Shu Wan’s ordeal, he was about to grow grey hairs.
Wang Tian tried to give Shu Wan a call to advise her to keep a low profile for a while, but Shu Wan simply ignored him.
"I’m telling the truth, and get ready, I’m going to sue those media outlets that spread the rumors."
".....Sis, you’re my only sister, if you sue the media, do you still want to work in the entertainment circle afterward? Those people are very capable of fabricating rumors to guide public opinion."
"It’s not worth the defamation."
In Shu Wan’s view, whether in the past life or the present, whatever you do will draw different voices.
It’s merely a matter of how loud those voices are.
Anyway, there are so many people blackening her name, she won’t miss this bunch.
Wang Tian wanted to say more, but another call came through on Shu Wan’s end, "That’s all for now, I’m hanging up."
With that, Shu Wan picked up the other call—it was from Qin Lv.
"Young Madam." Qin Lv’s attitude toward Shu Wan was truly sincere in addition to being respectful.
Last time, Shu Wan gave Qin Lv a sedative recipe, and according to the prescription, Qin Lv got the medicine and brought it back for his grandmother to drink. Recently, the number of times his grandmother had been getting up at night had decreased significantly.
The old lady, learning that the recipe was from Qin Lv’s colleague, specifically asked Qin Lv to express her gratitude to Shu Wan.
"Did you find out?"
"I found out. It was the Shu Family who was behind it." Qin Lv reported the findings from his subordinates to Shu Wan.
Hearing this answer surprised Shu Wan a little.
Although she had some memories of the original host in her mind, they weren’t very complete.
Sometimes, seeing similar scenes would trigger some past memories, and sometimes, she couldn’t remember anything.
As for the original host’s family members, they were a blank spot in her memory, Shu Wan couldn’t recall anything.
She could only remember a few fragments even of the original host’s mother, nothing more.
Now hearing from Qin Lv that it was the Shu Family who had put poison in her food, Shu Wan was somewhat puzzled, "Why would they do that?"
"To be precise, it was your sister who instructed someone to do it." Qin Lv deduced based on the information, "She probably doesn’t want you to have any chance of succeeding."
"Got it."
In her past life, she had seen many such incidents; even though her birth mother was from a noble family, carrying the family’s glory, it didn’t stop Prime Minister Shu from taking one concubine after another into the Prime Minister’s Mansion.
As for men, they tend to favor certain women, and that extends to their children, showing them more affection.
Shu Wan’s brothers wouldn’t be affected because they were the legitimate sons of the Prime Minister’s Mansion, and no one could influence their status.
But Shu Wan was different; her mother was groomed by a feudal clan to be the Prime Minister’s Wife.
In that era, her mother’s lifelong mission was to raise the two sons to succeed Prime Minister Shu.
Before Shu Wan was sent to Bailu Academy, a clueless child, the strife in the inner court of the Prime Minister’s Mansion inevitably involved her.
After all, those people in the inner court dared not harm Prime Minister Shu and Mother Shu, nor did they dare to do anything to the legitimate sons, so they only targeted the still young Shu Wan.
Shu Wan was intelligent, and even without the protection of her parents, she turned dangers into safety multiple times.
As she grew up, Shu Wan learned even more knowledge at Bailu Academy. She completely mastered the tactics of the inner court, and those people could no longer cause her any trouble.
Thus, Shu Wan understood that the people from the Shu Family probably couldn’t escape the age-old tactics of the inner residences either.
Shu Wan couldn’t be bothered to waste time on such meaningless individuals, "Has my younger sister been involved in any significant events recently?"
"Yes, tomorrow night, your stepsister has a performance at the International Theater. A very famous international musician will be attending this time, so your stepsister is very concerned about this performance."
"Okay," Shu Wan nodded, "then have someone slip the drug back into her drink, and make sure she finishes it."
"Yes."
Qin Lv agreed and then realized that Shu Wan’s style of doing things was strikingly similar to that of Fu Si Yu.
The same decisiveness, precision, and ruthlessness, targeting the vital points directly.
Being around Fu Si Yu felt the same. At this moment, Qin Lv felt relieved that he wasn’t on the opposite side of Shu Wan; otherwise, he was sure it would end terribly for him.
Before long, the car arrived at the entrance of the hospital.
Shu Wan got out of the car, only to find a large crowd gathered at the hospital entrance.
These people somehow found out that Fu Yang was hospitalized and, armed with cameras and camcorders, blocked the hospital’s main path, clearly waiting for Shu Wan.
Upon spotting Shu Wan, someone called out, and everyone quickly rushed over with their cameras.
Shu Wan stepped back and resettled into the car.
Journalists in the entertainment circle often lacked a sense of boundary. As long as they could dig up gossip news, they would crazily persist.
Even though Shu Wan was back in the car, the crowd still surrounded the vehicle, and some even continuously tapped on the window.
Even with good sound insulation, the noise from outside could be heard.
Seeing the crowd blocking the entrance grew larger, threatening to impact the hospital’s normal operations.
Shu Wan picked up a pine nut from the table and flicked her wrist slightly, hitting the window’s edge with it. fгeewebnovёl.com
The next second, fine cracks spread across the window.
Even so, the people outside seemed not to care. They still tried to peek into the car, eager to push their way in, yet they couldn’t see the scene inside.
After about three minutes, while the crowd was still clamoring, Shu Wan suddenly opened the car door and stepped out.
Seeing Shu Wan, everyone’s eyes lit up, and they immediately swarmed her, "Shu Wan, were you serious about suing the media journalists?"
"Did you actually go to the exam today? Why didn’t we see you at the entrance of the exam venue?"
Before the crowd could ask more questions, Shu Wan gestured to stop them.
She looked past the crowd and beckoned towards the other side.
Following Shu Wan’s gaze, the crowd turned to see a squad of police approaching.
"Hello, did you call the police?"
"Yes, they damaged my car and violated my property."
As Shu Wan said this, the crowd was stunned.
The police, regardless of what the people thought, surveyed the flux of people at the hospital entrance, "Alright, don’t stand here anymore, come with me to the police station to explain the situation."
Paparazzi tried to slip away but were all caught and brought back by the police.
Most stars in the entertainment circle follow the principle that it’s better to avoid trouble when possible. Regarding paparazzi who hold the power of public opinion, they avoid provoking them when they can.
After all, villains are troublesome. Paparazzi usually stealthily took pictures, followed around, and snapped close-up shots. In order to maintain a good and friendly reputation in front of the public, everyone even refrained from frowning in front of the cameras.
Therefore, the paparazzi had never encountered a situation like today where Shu Wan actually called the police.
