CHAPTER 369: IT’S ALL ONLINE

An accident?

Wen Nuan was confused and still had doubts in her mind. She quietly ate her pork liver porridge and vegetables. The sight of the car was still frightening, but maybe she was overthinking it. Maybe it was just an accident.

Maybe the car just went out of control for a moment. It didn’t have to be someone trying to harm her. Thinking like that would just give her paranoia.

"Chunmiao, thank you so much for what you did," Wen Nuan said with a smile. If it weren’t for Gao Chunmiao, she might be in the hospital today.

"Don’t mention it. It was no big deal," Gao Chunmiao said with a carefree wave of her hand. The three of them happily ate their meal. Gao Chunmiao was on her phone, eating, playing on her phone, and chatting at the same time. She was a master of multitasking.

Tang Mandong ordered three bottles of cold beer from the owner. There was nothing better than eating late-night food and drinking beer. Wen Nuan said with a laugh, "If I stay with you guys for a month, Sister Xiaojing will throw me into a weight-loss center."

"Just lose the weight after you gain it. No big deal," Tang Mandong said with a smile. Gao Chunmiao suddenly made a sound of surprise. She tapped her phone a few times and looked up at Wen Nuan. "Wen Nuan, what happened just now is online..."

Wen Nuan and Tang Mandong both took out their phones and went online. Someone had uploaded a picture to a website. The title was, "Popular Actress Wen Nuan and a Gang of Thugs Fighting at a Food Stall."

It was a sensational title. The pictures were very clear. The scene was chaotic. They were taken from a distance. Tang Mandong was fighting, and she and Gao Chunmiao were on the side, clapping and cheering. The pictures made it look like the three of them were the ones causing trouble.

Tang Mandong looked at the news and said with displeasure, "Paparazzi are so crazy these days. It was uploaded online in less than half an hour. That’s way too efficient. Wen Nuan, I’m sorry. It looks like I’ve caused you trouble."

"It’s probably nothing," Wen Nuan said with a slight smile. There were many subheadings, like "Innocent Actress Turns into a Delinquent" and "The True Face of Wen Nuan." They were all things to slander her. Wen Nuan was used to it and didn’t think much of it.

A celebrity fighting on the street was something only she would do. Gao Chunmiao said, "We should have thought about Wen Nuan’s image. We forgot that Wen Nuan is a public figure. We had fun fighting, but it got Wen Nuan into trouble."

As friends, they had never noticed Wen Nuan’s change in identity. They never saw her as a glamorous celebrity or a public figure. They were still the same as before. They would laugh together when they were happy and vent together when they were upset. That’s what friends were for. Who would have thought that this would end up online? If they had run into a similar situation before, they would have also fought. Fighting fire with fire was always Tang Mandong and Gao Chunmiao’s principle.

"Wow, what these people are saying is so awful," Gao Chunmiao said angrily. She also posted another message on the website, explaining that the thugs’ car hit Wen Nuan and then demanded a million yuan in compensation, which was why Miss Tang fought them.

"A million yuan? Aren’t you exaggerating a bit?" Wen Nuan said with a laugh.

Gao Chunmiao said nonchalantly, "Internet users are idiots. They’ll believe anything they read. They’re so easy to fool. Don’t worry."

Tang Mandong was speechless.

Wen Nuan was also speechless.

As expected, as soon as the post was up, the online users who had just been happily insulting Wen Nuan for pretending to be a pure and innocent girl changed their tune. They all supported Tang Mandong’s actions and said that such thugs should be dealt with violently.

Wen Nuan’s fans, in particular, were very concerned about whether Wen Nuan was hurt and how serious it was. They angrily condemned the thugs and said they would find them and ruin their lives.

Wen Nuan said with a faint smile, "These people are something else. They were just happily insulting me, and now they’ve completely changed their attitude. It’s incredible. Do they have nothing better to do all day than sit around and insult people?"

"It’s a tough world out there. There are always weird people. You’ll get used to it," Tang Mandong said. She then posted a message on her Weibo, explaining what happened and tagging Lin Ning and Chen Xueru.

"Forget it. Let’s not talk about the past. Let’s just finish eating and leave," Wen Nuan said. She asked the owner to pack up some pork liver porridge and stir-fried asparagus.

Gao Chunmiao was surprised and asked, "You’re not full and you’re getting take-out?"

"Feimo is out drinking with a few guys. I bet they haven’t eaten much. I’ll bring some late-night food for him. This pork liver porridge is so good and nutritious, and the asparagus is crisp and appetizing. He’ll definitely have an appetite," Wen Nuan said with a smile.

Tang Mandong and Gao Chunmiao looked at each other. "My dear, you’re a perfect wife and mother."

Wen Nuan was speechless.

"Wen Nuan, honestly, didn’t you two have a fight?"

Wen Nuan lowered her head and gave a small laugh. "We didn’t fight. It’s just that I... think I’ve become greedy."

She looked at Tang Mandong and Gao Chunmiao and shrugged. The two of them were confused, not knowing what she was talking about.

As the three of them left the food stall, Wen Nuan’s phone rang. Ye Feimo’s voice was very anxious. "Where are you?"

"I was about to go back with Mandong."

"Hurry back," Ye Feimo said. "I saw the news online. Are you okay?"

"I’m fine," Wen Nuan said. Her arm just hurt a little from hitting something, but other than that, she was okay. Ye Feimo told her a few things and told her to come back quickly.

As soon as she hung up, Gao Chunmiao said, "Your husband definitely knows."

Wen Nuan nodded. Tang Mandong drove back to the Mingcheng apartment. As soon as they got to the apartment building, they saw Ye Feimo waiting downstairs. Tang Mandong and Gao Chunmiao greeted him and then helped carry Wen Nuan’s loot from the day.

Ye Feimo raised an eyebrow, looking at Wen Nuan. Wen Nuan said seriously, "I’m helping you spend all your money."

The two of them definitely couldn’t carry everything up, so Tang Mandong and Gao Chunmiao also helped bring the things upstairs. It was getting late, so Gao Chunmiao and Tang Mandong didn’t stay long and left soon after.

The living room was piled up with things. Ye Feimo casually looked at the things she bought today and raised an eyebrow. He suddenly saw that her clothes were a little dirty. He quickly lifted her arm and saw a bruise on her elbow.

"It’s nothing. I’ll just use some hot water and put some ointment on it later, and it’ll be fine," Wen Nuan said with a smile.

Ye Feimo raised an eyebrow dangerously. "What exactly happened?"

Wen Nuan told him what happened. A dangerous look flashed in Ye Feimo’s eyes. The car rolled down the hill? Who did it? If the car was parked properly, it would not have come down.

He had always been at ease when she went out with Tang Mandong because Tang Mandong knew martial arts. If they ran into any thugs or ruffians, Tang Mandong could handle them alone. Gao Chunmiao’s skills were also good, so they wouldn’t be in any danger. This was the first time something like this had happened.

"It’s nothing. Just a small scrape," Wen Nuan said with a smile. The two of them seemed to have forgotten the unpleasantness from the afternoon. Neither of them brought it up again. Their arguments would always end without a clear resolution. Even if they had an argument, they would just let it go and not talk about it again. "I bought you some pork liver porridge and asparagus. Come and have some."
