Chapter 395: An Unraveling Reputation
The paparazzi were truly everywhere. They had been camping outside the hospital since Wen Nuan was admitted and had somehow managed to get a hold of the news about her miscarriage. By the afternoon, the news was all over the internet, and the medical records were even leaked.
Tang Shuwen never expected the Green Light Daily to be so quick. He had just called the newspaper and told them not to release any more news about Wen Nuan, or they would be going against the Tang and Ye families. Who would have thought that as soon as he hung up, the news would be out? Although the Green Light’s CEO quickly clarified that it was fake news, everyone knew Wen Nuan was in the hospital. On top of that, Wen Nuan’s parents had been going in and out of the hospital for the past few days. Although they were always with their escorts and didn’t talk to the media, the news still spread. The rumors about Wen Nuan’s miscarriage became more and more outrageous.
Wen Nuan’s body and mind were broken. She was unconscious for two nights and one day. Ye Feimo hadn’t closed his eyes for dozens of hours, but he didn’t stay in her room. He just sat on the bench outside her room. He hadn’t changed his clothes, hadn’t showered, and his hands were still stained with blood. He looked like a complete mess.
If he wasn’t afraid of his stomach issues flaring up and making him collapse, he probably wouldn’t have eaten or drunk anything.
Cai Xiaojing didn’t want Wen Nuan’s parents to blame Ye Feimo, so she only said that Wen Nuan had accidentally fallen and had a miscarriage. Wen Nuan’s parents tried to convince Ye Feimo to rest, but he didn’t seem to hear them.
Fang Liucheng had come to the hospital to see Wen Nuan. When Lin Ning saw him, he wanted to hit him, but Cai Xiaojing stopped him. In truth, Fang Liucheng was not to blame.
"Ye Feimo, did you hit her? Is that why she had a miscarriage?" Fang Liucheng asked sharply, holding back the urge to punch Ye Feimo. Ye Feimo sat there blankly, not wanting to talk to anyone.
In fact, Lin Ning and Cai Xiaojing didn’t know why it had come to this, but seeing Ye Feimo’s condition, they guessed that they were not far from the truth. They must have gotten into a fight, which led to this situation.
Now that the baby was gone, Cai Xiaojing was also upset. But seeing him in this state, she couldn’t bring herself to blame him.
"Nothing happened between Wen Nuan and me. Ye Feimo, you will regret this," Fang Liucheng said, and he left. Ye Feimo looked blank. His heart was already broken. He was in so much pain, and he regretted everything.
Cheng Anya and Ye Sanshao rushed back. Cai Xiaojing went back to Anning to deal with Wen Nuan’s rumors. Wen Nuan’s reputation was as bad as it could get. The video, the hotel room, the miscarriage... any one of these things could ruin her. Wen Nuan’s pure and wholesome image was gone. She was now seen as a promiscuous woman. Many advertisers who had already signed contracts with her had canceled them because of her image.
Cai Xiaojing did a lot of work, but she couldn’t save Wen Nuan’s reputation.
She became the most infamous celebrity in A City.
The media was also speculating about who the father of the baby was.
The news couldn’t be kept a secret anymore. Ye Sanshao and Cheng Anya had also returned. The Ye family announced that Wen Nuan was a member of the Ye family, Ye Feimo’s wife, and Anning’s second daughter-in-law. The whole city was in an uproar.
As for the video, Zhuo Bingbing, Chen Hang, and others came forward and openly accused the rumor-mongers of slandering Wen Nuan’s name. They also revealed the truth of what happened that day, which caused another stir. The issue of Fang Liucheng and Wen Nuan being like a brother and sister was also solved easily. It was a complete 180-degree turn. Two different opinions filled A City.
Those who believed the rumors continued to believe them, and those who didn’t chose to believe the official news released by Anning.
The news that Wen Nuan was Ye Feimo’s wife also caused a stir in the industry. It also gave a reasonable explanation as to why Wen Nuan had become so popular so quickly and had become so successful in such a short amount of time.
Countless people were envious of Wen Nuan, who was now in the hospital after a miscarriage.
After this news was released, another rumor came out that Wen Nuan had a miscarriage and would lose the love of her in-laws and husband. This was easily disproven by the news of Ye Sanshao and Cheng Anya visiting Wen Nuan every day.

Wen Nuan’s reputation was now a mix of good and bad.
Wen Nuan had been awake for a few days now. Since she found out she had lost the baby, she hadn’t said a word. She hadn’t even mentioned Ye Feimo. She just sat there all day, in a daze, staring at nothing.
Cheng Anya came to see her every day. Wen Nuan would only move her lips, but she wouldn’t talk to her. Her eyes were blank.
Ye Feimo was still waiting outside her room. Wen Nuan hadn’t asked to see him, and he hadn’t gone in. It had been seven days. He looked terrible. No one could convince him to leave. Cheng Anya didn’t know what to do with them.
Cheng Anya and Wen Nuan’s mother brought her a lot of soup to help her recover, but she didn’t have a very good appetite and didn’t eat much. After her miscarriage, she had a high fever and only got better after four or five days. She had lost almost ten pounds. Her once-round face had become gaunt, and she was skin and bones. She hadn’t said a word or smiled once. No one knew what had happened between them or why she had a miscarriage.
Wen Nuan wouldn’t say, and Ye Feimo hadn’t said a word either.
It seemed that until Wen Nuan forgave him and said a word, he wasn’t planning on leaving the hospital.
Cheng Anya felt for Ye Feimo, who hadn’t slept for so long. She tried to convince him to go inside and see Wen Nuan or to go home and rest, but he wouldn’t budge. He just kept staring at the door of her room, as if he was waiting to hear a word from Wen Nuan or to see her.
Cheng Anya couldn’t take it anymore and asked Ye Sanshao to carry Ye Feimo to go rest. He actually started fighting with Ye Sanshao. The father and son fought in the hospital hallway. Ye Feimo was so out of it that he punched Ye Sanshao a few times. A person’s body has a lot of explosive power when pushed to the limit, but after so many days without sleep, he didn’t have the strength to fight with Ye Sanshao for very long. Ye Sanshao beat him up and sent him home to rest.
Cheng Anya wrinkled her nose, disgusted by Ye Sanshao’s smell. Ye Sanshao snorted. "That’s your son’s smell, don’t blame me."
After sitting for almost ten days without a shower, Ye Feimo smelled very bad. Ye Sanshao immediately decided to go home and take a shower.
Cheng Anya told Wen Nuan’s mother and left with Ye Sanshao.
When Wen Nuan’s mother talked to her, Wen Nuan didn’t react. She just turned to the side and slept.
"Nuan Nuan, your mother doesn’t know what happened between you and Feimo, but your health is the most important thing. Look how skinny you’ve become. You can always have another baby. Please don’t be so sad. It makes your mother very sad to see you like this," Wen Nuan’s mother said, her eyes welling up with tears.
Wen Nuan’s mother tried to convince her for a long time, but Wen Nuan didn’t budge. Just as her mother was about to give up, Wen Nuan said softly, "I want to go home."
After not speaking for so many days, her voice was hoarse and unpleasant.
Wen Nuan’s mother’s eyes filled with tears when she heard her. She quickly told Wen Nuan’s father to go handle the discharge paperwork. She gently stroked Wen Nuan’s hair. "Okay, we’re going home. We’re going home..."
