Yin Fang, fearing that something truly untoward would happen, quickly pulled Wei Jin inside.
The moment they entered, Yin Fang was instantly furious. She pointed at Wei Jin and yelled, "What have you been doing all day! What's going on with those photos?"
"You're asking me? How would I know? I haven't done anything, and I don't know any real estate magnates."
Wei Jin dared not tell Yin Fang the truth. If she did, Yin Fang would surely kill her.
"You're still spouting nonsense! The photos are out there, and you still dare to lie to me!"
Yin Fang insisted that Wei Jin was deceiving her. If those reporters didn't have concrete evidence, they wouldn't have shown up so brazenly. The Wei family was not in a position to be so casually photographed by reporters.
They would also be wary. After all, media companies had to support many people. If they angered Wei Anguo, he could shut them down.
She had also looked closely earlier. In every single one of those photos, Wei Jin's face was clearly visible. How could they be fake? Even if they were photoshopped, why would anyone make such a big fuss about her?
Wei Jin shook her head. "It's true, I really don't know this person."
"If you continue to lie, and your father sees the reports once they're published, it won't be as simple as me just asking a few questions."
The mention of Wei Anguo made Wei Jin's heart race. The media had already reported everything. What would happen if it was investigated? She would be finished.
Not only would her reputation be ruined, but she would also have to face the man's wife. Wei Jin's face instantly turned as pale as paper, and for a moment, she didn't know what to say.
No matter how much Wei Jin tried to hide it, she was still Yin Fang's daughter. How could Yin Fang not know her daughter's character? With just a glance, she could tell.
Wei Jin was feeling very uncertain now, afraid that something would go wrong.
"I..."
The moment she spoke, Yin Fang's heart sank. It was over, it was over.
"Did you and that person go all the way? Did you!"
Wei Jin had never seen Yin Fang look so terrifying, and she was immediately scared.
"I..."
"You are truly foolish! No matter what, you shouldn't have gotten involved with a married man. Do you know what it will become when word gets out? You'll be completely ruined."
"But I'm already ruined! I was ruined by Wei Yumeng. Yes, it must have been Wei Yumeng. It must be her. She must have exposed my situation because she resented me before."
Yin Fang slapped her on the head. "How dare you say that! Who told you to be with this man for no reason? Is your brain full of water?"
"Then what do I do now? Tell me what to do! Who do I go to? Do you know what people outside are saying about me now?"
She could barely face anyone.
Yin Fang now knew that blaming Wei Jin was useless. The most important thing now was to handle the current situation, otherwise, it would become troublesome.
"Calm down first. Let's see how we can resolve this. Also, I'll find someone to investigate who leaked the information later."
This matter could definitely not be left as it was.
"Mom, you have to believe me. I really just wanted to get married quickly, to lessen some of the burden on the family, and then those people outside wouldn't gossip about me anymore!"
That was what she thought. And she didn't want to be a level below Wei Yumeng. Why could she marry into the Zhan family, while she was still just going through the motions?
"Then let the public relations handle it for now. Otherwise, this will never end, and it will be quite troublesome."
Yin Fang truly had no idea what to do with Wei Jin. This daughter was becoming more and more troublesome.
Wei Jin nodded. "Then thank you, Mom."
"I don't even know what to say about you. From now on, you must discuss these things with me. If another problem arises, who can guarantee that your father won't just kick us out?"
Wei Jin nodded. "Yes, I understand."
Wei Yumeng, on the other hand, still didn't know about Wei Jin's situation. She had gone back to rest with Mu Linjing. After sleeping for two hours, she woke up. It was probably due to the recent string of events that had made her feel very tense.
And the abusive comments online had never stopped. She didn't know what to do. She didn't have the power to control what happened on the internet, but she also didn't want these things to affect Gu Shuyi.
The more she thought about it, the more a heavy stone seemed to be blocking her chest, making her very uncomfortable.
At this moment, Mu Linjing suddenly rushed in and said to Wei Yumeng with surprise.
"Yumeng, Yumeng, there's big news! Your trending topic has been suppressed."
Wei Yumeng looked confused. "What do you mean?"
"Open your phone and see for yourself." Mu Linjing couldn't explain it clearly at the moment.
Wei Yumeng picked up her phone and opened the internet. The screen was immediately filled with news about Wei Jin interfering in someone else's marriage, complete with photos.
Such explosive news so early in the morning? What was this Wei Jin up to?
However... she had a feeling that this was someone's doing.
Mu Linjing scrolled through the netizens' abusive comments and felt a sense of satisfaction.
"That's great! Finally, Wei Jin is getting what she deserves. She bullied you so much before, and now look at her, she's finally getting her comeuppance."
Wei Yumeng pondered. "Don't you think it's strange?"
"What's strange?" Mu Linjing didn't quite understand what she was referring to.
"How could Wei Jin's matter be exposed so quickly? If someone wasn't actively doing something behind the scenes, do you think it would happen?"
Mu Linjing immediately realized. "You mean... does Wei Jin have enemies?"
"But who do you think would be able to dig up this kind of information?"
Wei Yumeng had already largely figured it out.
Mu Linjing was silent for a moment, then nodded emphatically. "It's CEO Zhan!"
"Besides him, I really can't think of anyone else."
Only Zhan Mohan had such capabilities, and only he would dare to release Wei Jin's information.
Mu Linjing thought that perhaps she should ask Zhan Mohan about it to understand the situation. Moreover, this was a good opportunity to try and ease the tension between them.
She leaned in. "Why don't you give CEO Zhan a call and ask him?"
It had been a long time since Wei Yumeng had called him proactively. Hearing Mu Linjing suggest it now made her inexplicably nervous.
Mu Linjing saw her shyness, which further confirmed that Wei Yumeng still had feelings for CEO Zhan. She kept urging her on.
"Hurry up, don't dally."
Under Mu Linjing's urging, Wei Yumeng finally mustered up the courage and called Zhan Mohan.
At that moment, she was both nervous and hopeful that he would answer. But if he answered, what would she say? How would she start?
Then, a deep, magnetic male voice came through, like piano keys striking her heart, stirring ripples. Her cheeks flushed crimson.
"Hello, what's wrong?"
