CHAPTER 62: CHAPTER 62: A STORM OF BLOOD AND GORE

After concluding the business, when everyone had left, Lin Wanwan pulled out a ceramic box filled with Lindt chocolate balls for little Qingyu, little Crab, and big Ya, the three little ones.

"Ta-da! Little ones, come see what good stuff I brought!"

As she lifted the lid, little Qingyu clapped joyfully and exclaimed, "Ah, it’s chocolate! Did mother buy it from the town?"

"Yes, it is chocolate! Here, one for each of you, and remember to brush your teeth after eating." Lin Wanwan distributed them to the kids.

Little Qingyu tilted her small head and asked, "Mother, can I have another one tomorrow?"

Lin Wanwan nodded, "Sure, just remember to brush your teeth after, otherwise the sweet stuff will eat away your teeth."

Little Qingyu nodded earnestly, "I know."

Little Crab and big Ya had never tasted chocolate before, nor had they ever seen it.

Watching little Qingyu pop it into her mouth, they cautiously stuck out their tongues to give it a lick, then broke into smiles, "It’s sweet."

Little Qingyu, proud and full of wisdom, explained to them, "Chocolate is delicious, it has milk in it, and it’s delicate and smooth."

While the three little ones were eating, Lin Qin entered, seeing the two kids eating again, she awkwardly said, "You two are eating and drinking at your aunt’s again. Hurry home now, don’t you know it’s getting dark?"

Lin Wanwan smiled and greeted Lin Qin, as they were neighbors and very familiar with each other, she didn’t get up to welcome her but invited Lin Qin to have a chocolate as well.

Lin Qin was, of course, too embarrassed to indulge. The two little ones were already brought over by Lin Wanwan every day for breakfast and various fruit teas, she felt guilty enough; as an adult, she couldn’t come to take advantage.

Seeing Lin Qin firm, Lin Wanwan had to give up.

In reality, what Lin Mengbo sent her far exceeded what she gave back to them. It’s just that this gap in information was something they didn’t know, but Lin Wanwan kept it in mind.

After Lin Qin called little Crab and big Ya away, the west side door of Lin Wanwan’s house closed.

It was time to rest for the night, and Lin Wanwan carried little Qingyu upstairs to enjoy their mother-daughter alone time.

In ancient times, it was a moment of joyful warmth, but in modern times, it was a storm. Lin Wanwan had already been on two trending searches.

The first trending search was started by Xiao Junning. It once climbed to number two on the search rankings on Weibo, with the topic #There’sLightInXiaoJunning’sEyes#.

The main reason for this was because of Xiao Junning, which attracted large views.

The trending content was a video less than ten seconds long, where Xiao Junning was putting a crown on Lin Wanwan, his gaze at her was indescribably tender and dazzling, letting people’s imaginations run wild.

With such a trending topic, passersby were naturally attracted by Lin Wanwan’s beauty, after all, she truly was a stunning beauty. However, besides the passers-by, it also triggered attacks from many sour lemons, because Xiao Junning had numerous young fans with strong fighting power.

[My brother is naturally full of emotion, even looking at a tree stump, he’s tender.]

[This woman is just leeching traffic, shameless.]

Those fans were truly both bored and formidable, they quickly dug up that Lin Wanwan once worked at a Fortune 500 company but was forced to resign because she failed to seduce her superior and threw a big bucket of dirty water at her, which made her another middle-position trending topic #BeautyHoldingHandsWithXiaoJunningIsAPurveyor#.

This trending topic, along with revelations from former colleagues and the main man’s ex-girlfriend, pushed it up high again, essentially nailing Lin Wanwan.

Meanwhile, Lin Wanwan, in the quiet night of the Tang Dynasty, was sleeping soundly, completely unaware of the tumult in the modern world.

When she woke up, the sky was still dark, it should be the latter half of the night. Worried about Chen Jinyu’s condition, she quietly slipped back to the modern world, picked up her phone, and saw it was already past one in the afternoon.

Without delay, she called a rideshare to go to the hospital to see Chen Jinyu.

Chen Jinyu’s condition was quite stable, though looking pitiable and disheveled, with over ten stitches on her cheek, and her face was bruised, but thankfully, there were no bone injuries, only flesh wounds, and the stitches on her face were cosmetic.

The other girl was slightly more serious, with a fractured rib caused by a kick, but it wasn’t too serious, considered a minor injury in the forensic assessment.

Compared to them, Xiao Wen was much worse off, with three teeth knocked out, multiple rib fractures, a broken arm, a fractured nasal bone, and over thirty stitches from cheek to ear.

The police had taken statements, and the two girls were placed in the same hospital room. Xiao Wen, with the grave injuries, was still undergoing orthopedic surgery and wouldn’t be in the same room with them after coming out.

Both were feeling downcast, with severe psychological trauma, the shadow of potentially scarred faces looming over them, making the hospital room’s atmosphere very subdued.

Lin Wanwan’s arrival didn’t bring them any comfort either. They had been beaten into a daze at the time, with memory lapses, completely unaware that Lin Wanwan had saved them.

Both girls were out-of-towners, and their parents were on the way.

Seeing that Chen Jinyu was fine, Lin Wanwan didn’t disturb them further, left the fruit basket she had brought, and left.

Walking through the hospital, Lin Wanwan felt that everyone around was secretly photographing her, making her very uncomfortable. Eventually, she couldn’t help but walk up to a girl who looked about her age, and coldly said, "Are you secretly photographing me?"

The girl was startled by her approach but quickly reacted, rolled her eyes, and cursed, "Mistress fox spirit."

After cursing, she turned and quickly walked away, all bark, no bite in her actions.

Lin Wanwan frowned, wondering why there were always people labeling her a "mistress"? Do beautiful women have to endure so much malice?!

At that moment, a new message came through on her phone’s WeChat, sent by Ye Ying from the high-rise area of the same neighborhood.

"Wanwan, did you see the trending search? Are you really Bao Juncai’s mistress?"

Trending search, Bao Juncai? What’s all this about, can such a small figure even drag me into trending searches?

Lin Wanwan didn’t understand, opened her phone, downloaded Weibo, and after searching for a while, she saw the trending topic #BeautyHoldingHandsWithXiaoJunningIsAPurveyor# still hanging there.

This surely was seizing the opportunity, blackening her amidst the large flow of traffic. But she underestimated little Chen and Bao Juncai, they would actually play this game with her.

As she was about to call little Chen to demand an explanation, Lin Wanwan suddenly stopped, "No, it couldn’t be them, especially not Bao Juncai, he knows what’s going on, why would he make trouble."

Elder Fareya once said, to judge who did a bad thing, just look at who ultimately benefits. Who would benefit from ruining her reputation?

Lin Wanwan thought about it for a long time and couldn’t figure it out.

"Forget it, no matter who’s behind this, I’ll just clear my name."
