Chapter 1209: Chapter 1208: No Tragedy Is the Worst, Only Worse
Ya Ling’s reply quickly attracted a swarm of netizens, who began scrutinizing and criticizing.
[Are you a small account from the Ye Family or a paid follower? Dog doctor, how can you still try to justify yourself?]
[The knife wasn’t used on you, of course, you wouldn’t feel the pain! Speaking for these executioners, do you have a clear conscience?]
[How much did you earn for posting this? If there’s money to be made, let’s all earn some, okay?]
Ya Ling sat on the sofa, feeling somewhat speechless.
After thinking for a bit, she swiftly edited a post and sent it out.
[I am Ye Lingxi, the biological daughter of Ling Ze and An Ning, raised by the Ye Family. Those guilty will be punished by law. The innocent, please show some respect. Birth certificate.jpg]
Ye Lingxi’s Weibo post quickly gained traction as Yuren helped push it, reaching the top of the trending list.
With the birth certificate as proof, Ye Lingxi’s identity was quickly acknowledged.
All the respect and sympathy people had for Ling Ze and his wife were transferred to Ye Lingxi.
Those who had criticized Ye Jinwen previously, all changed their tune.
[Thank you to your esteemed parents for their contribution to Z Country! Thanks for the LA Special Efficacy Drug!]
[I was wrong, I take back what I said. The knife really was used on her...]
[She’s the most qualified to judge the Ye Family out of everyone, but I still feel something is off.]
[To the person above, that weird feeling might be because... there’s some dog food here!]
[Not just dog food, but dog blood too! Isn’t this a plot where the foster parents are the enemies who killed her birth parents? And maybe, the heroine falls in love with the son of her enemy...]
Ya Ling: ...
She was too lazy to explain and didn’t want to respond to this kind of matter anymore.
She just hoped that man could come to terms with things a bit.

Ye Jinwen hadn’t dared to turn on his phone for the past few days.
Since he tacitly allowed those reporters’ presence, it meant this day would come.
He accepted it and was mentally prepared for it.
When Li Xinghan knocked on his dorm door and walked in, he immediately smelled a musty, dark scent.
Li Xinghan quickly pulled open the curtains and opened the window to let in some air.
He also thoughtfully handed over a wet wipe and personally wiped Ye Jinwen’s face.
Ye Jinwen: ???
He looked at Li Xinghan as if he were a home care provider.
Li Xinghan secretly rolled his eyes. If it weren’t for completing the task, he wouldn’t have gone to such lengths.
He sat down on the ground with Ye Jinwen.
"Brother, stay strong."
"..." Ye Jinwen glanced sideways at Li Xinghan, knowing he was from the Li Family and aware of the Li Family’s tragic history, but they weren’t familiar with each other, making this interaction seem odd.
Li Xinghan rested his hands on his knees, appearing helpless and desolate.
"Look at me, I’ve had it worse than you, and I’m still doing fine."
"If we’re talking misery, how am I not more miserable..." Ye Jinwen moved his lips and casually responded: "The century-long reputation built by our family is just ruined like that. The medical industry isn’t the same as your entertainment circle..."
In the entertainment world, the internet has no memory, and public forgets the Li Family’s actions after a while, allowing Li Xinghan to act in films, sing, and make movies without constraints.
But in the medical field, just the fact that his mother experimented on patients and abandoned them afterward was enough to be condemned by the community. Additionally, his parents were responsible for Ling Ze and An Ning’s deaths...
Ye Jinwen felt like the once immaculate Ye Family had been stained with ink.
Li Xinghan noticed his concerns and surprisingly felt a hint of sympathy.
"Reputation is all external. At least your Ye Family still has Mr. Ye Zhongjing, and you, as for me? The Li Family only has me, a solitary person. Who should I cry to?"
He retrieved two cans of beer from somewhere, tossed one to Ye Jinwen, kept the other, popped the tab, and took a big sip.
Ye Jinwen also opened a beer, shook his head, and disagreed.
"What I’ve lost... is more than you can imagine. I’ve also lost the love of my life, and there’s no possibility for us in this lifetime."
Their respective identities and stances were now unchangeable and insurmountable.
"..." Li Xinghan shed a bitter tear, trying to console Ye Jinwen by dragging himself into it.
"Me too! I lost my idol, and I’ll never get a song written for me by her! But, it’s not my fault, it’s because of the backstabbers around me..."
"..."
Ye Jinwen looked back at Li Xinghan, wondering why he was starting to feel better.
"Do you have any more woes?"
Tell me, so I can have a good laugh.
Li Xinghan didn’t catch Ye Jinwen’s last remark, kept drinking, and with a mournful face said, "Yeah. I even offended the second-in-command of our organization, and since the second-in-command is married to the boss, I’ve offended both big leaders. My future is uncertain..."
"Anything else?" Ye Jinwen drank more beer, getting happier as he drank.
Li Xinghan nodded: "And... with my looks, is it too much to want to marry a rich lady?"
Ye Jinwen: ???
"Whatever makes you happy."
"But the rich lady I want is particularly odd. She called the anti-prostitution squad when someone courted her, and personally sent my peers to jail. What should I do?"
Ye Jinwen snorted a bit, "Tragic, you’re even more tragic. You’re really worse off than I am."
"Ah, I haven’t dared to look at Weibo for a long time, there must be a lot of people cursing me there." Mostly because Li Xinghan was busy reading "How to Win the Heart of a Wealthy Lady," with no time for gossip news.
In return for his sacrifice to entertain, Ye Jinwen offered: "I’ll help you check."
He immediately opened Weibo.
Unexpectedly, the number one trending post caught his attention.
[Daughter of Ling Ze, Ye Lingxi.]
Out of concern for Ya Ling, Ye Jinwen abandoned Li Xinghan’s matters and opened the post.
Upon seeing Ya Ling verifying her identity in the post and even defending him, Ye Jinwen’s lifeless heart suddenly sparked to life.
Li Xinghan continued to drink his beer, asking, "See, they’re all cursing me."
He leaned in, only to find that this comrade in hardship had a faint smile forming at the corners of his mouth.
Smile, my ass?
