Chapter 264: The Nth Time

After connecting the call, Lin Zhiyan had just asked one question when she heard Nan Yan say, “I’m the one who injured him.”
Lin Zhiyan:
Although she was genuinely shocked at first, Lin Zhiyan still believed that Nan Yan wasn’t the type to harm her family without reason. There must be a valid explanation!
Even if she did indeed harm An Yaoqing, it must have been because An Yaoqing had gone too far!
“Nan Yan, what about the online…”
While Lin Zhiyan had her own thoughts, she was still concerned that the online situation might have a significant negative impact on Nan Yan.
Nan Yan looked at the laptop screen, lazily leaning against the head of the bed, and calmly replied, “You should rest early. You don’t need to worry about other matters. I’ll handle the online issues myself.”
Lin Zhiyan said, “If there’s anything I can help with, please let me know. Even though I don’t have much capability, my father can certainly lend a hand!”
“Alright, that’s it for now. I’ll hang up.”
Without waiting for Lin Zhiyan to respond, Nan Yan hung up on her because Qin Lu’s call was coming in.
She swiped the screen and chose to answer.
From the receiver came the concerned words of a man, “Yanyan, what happened?”
Nan Yan responded indifferently, “Nothing major, just someone who couldn’t handle it and came over to pick a fight.’
Hearing her casual tone, Qin Lu felt like he had been overly worried. After all, given her personality, she wasn’t one to be easily taken advantage of. Usually, she was the one to assert dominance, and most people couldn’t push her around.
“The members of the An family are causing trouble for you again. What do you plan to do?”
Nan Yan raised an eyebrow casually and said, “Out of respect for Grandpa, I plan not to engage with them. This time, it’s a perfect opportunity to sever ties completely, so I consider it a pleasant surprise.”
“Do you need me to suppress the Weibo trends?”
“Not for now. I’m going to post something shortly, and the higher the buzz, the better.”
Qin Lu sighed. He just wanted to help his little sister out a bit. Why did it have to be so difficult?
“Remember to contact your big brother if you need anything.”
Qin Lu said this for the nth time.
“Alright.”
Nan Yan gave another casual response.
While still on the call with Qin Lu, a call from Shen Junqing came in.
“Big brother, I’m still busy here, so I’ll hang up for now. You should get some rest. ”
“Okay, good night.”
After Qin Lu hung up, Nan Yan quickly answered Shen Junqing’s call.
Just like Qin Lu, he wanted to know what had happened to her.
“Sis, if the An family doesn’t want you, Third Brother wants you. Since they treat you poorly, don’t be upset!”
“I’ve never seen parents like this before, deliberately tarnishing your image and having internet users slander you. What kind of nonsense parents are they?”
As Nan Yan listened to Shen Junqing’s angry words, she couldn’t help but chuckle softly. “Third Brother, it’s true that I caused the injury to An Yaoqing.”
“Oh, you did it? Well, he deserved it. But next time something like this happens, come to Third Brother. I’ll help you out. After all, you do have a blood relationship with him, and it’s not convenient for you to be the one getting physical.”
“Look at how they’re slandering you online!”
Shen Junqing hadn’t investigated the situation between Nan Yan and the An family in detail. He only knew that her relationship with the An family was very bad and lacked any emotional connection.
Little did he expect that their relationship would deteriorate to this extent.
“It’s fine,” Nan Yan replied casually.
Shen Junqing was puzzled, “Did they insult you?”
He wanted to eliminate those who used malicious language to slander her online.
“Now everyone knows that I’ve completely severed ties with the An family, isn’t that good?” Nan Yan asked.
Shen Junqing rubbed his temples, “Alright, as long as you’re not feeling sad. If you need anything, just let your Third Brother know.”
“Okay.”
After a few more pleasantries, Nan Yan hung up on him.
She then set her phone to “Do Not Disturb” mode and tossed it aside.
If there were more calls coming in, she probably wouldn’t need to do anything else except answer the phone.
Finally, the room became quiet, and Nan Yan started editing her post on the laptop.
In the hospital, An Yaoqing lay in his hospital bed with his arm in a cast, holding his phone and browsing Weibo.
Nan Yan’s reputation online had unquestionably hit rock bottom. Almost everyone was criticizing and condemning her. It was likely that by early tomorrow morning, Zhide High School would issue a statement expelling her. When that happened, there would be no other school in Jin City willing to take her, and she would have to leave the city.
The pent-up frustration in their hearts was finally somewhat relieved. Lu Lehua, standing by the hospital bed, sighed after scrolling through some comments on her phone. She said, “Dad is really muddled, pampering such an ungrateful person!”
“I hope he doesn’t make the same mistake again this time and quickly kicks
Nan Yan out of the house!”
Lu Lehua believed that no matter how much Nan Yan pleased the old man, the old man would care more about his son.
The act of a daughter assaulting her father was something their grandfather, with his character, could never tolerate.
An Siting spoke in a deep voice, “I’ll talk to Grandfather about this tomorrow.”
“Good, bring your elder brother along. Both of you should go together. Seize this opportunity to make Grandfather detest Nan Yan and drive her away!”
Lu Lehua couldn’t help but express her disgust whenever she mentioned Nan Yan. “Our family was perfectly fine, but look at what it has become because of her return! Not only did she drive away Yao Yao, but our second and fourth brothers have also grown distant because of her!”
She’s like a disaster that came to collect debts!
An Xiran and An Mulin were together. Ever since the incident from last time, the two brothers would often meet, have meals together, or sometimes have a drink.
An Mulin absentmindedly swiped his phone and suddenly opened Weibo. When he saw the trending topics, his expression couldn’t help but change.
“Xiran, take a look at Weibo quickly!”
An Xiran raised an eyebrow in confusion, then obediently took out his phone and opened Weibo to see what had caught his brother’s attention.
The posts flooding the screen were all about bashing Nan Yan, occupying nearly the entire screen. What on earth had happened?
After reading the posts in the trending topics, both of them quickly tried to contact Nan Yan, but her phone was unreachable.
With no other option, An Mulin had to call An Yaoqing, who promptly scolded him and told him to go to the hospital.
After the call, he looked at An Xiran with a heavy heart and said, “Dad said he’s in the hospital because of a beating from Nan Yan…”
An Mulin felt that, given Nan Yan’s personality, she was absolutely capable of doing something like this.
At that moment, he was deeply torn and conflicted. Morally and logically, it was completely wrong to physically harm your own biological father!
Had she ever thought about the consequences of her actions?
Did she truly not care about her reputation and what others thought of her?
An Xiran couldn’t sit still either. “Here’s what we’ll do, Mulin, you go to the hospital, and I’ll go to the old mansion. We need to discuss how to handle this. We can’t let outsiders keep laughing at the An family.”
“Alright, we’ll split up and take action.”
As the two brothers went their separate ways, a new trending topic emerged and directly pushed aside the one that An Yaoqing had tried to promote, taking the fourth spot.
The title of the post was related to Nan Yan, instantly attracting numerous netizens to click on it….
