Chapter 1338: The Media Reports
On the second day, the media began releasing various detailed reports about everything that took place during the jewelry exhibition yesterday. The Wen Corporation made the headlines and was on the cover page of almost all magazines and tabloids. Overnight, everyone’s attention was on the Wen Corporation.
The most shocking bit was undoubtedly the hair-raising incident about the chandelier. The journalists were extremely descriptive with their writeups which included a plethora of impactful vocabulary. They also included the fact that everyone managed to escape unscathed, all thanks to Wen Xinya’s timely warning.
At last, the journalist then expressed in a regretful tone that Wen Xinya had sprained her ankle even though she escaped unscathed. Everyone began guessing about Wen Xinya after reading the reports.
Of course, the news of Mo Yunyao’s last masterpieces had also caught everyone’s attention. Although the chandelier incident was severe, it did not cause too dire of a consequence and hence, everyone stopped paying attention to it after finding out the sequence of events.
They included the list of accolades that Mo Yunyao had won and even labeled her as the stunning and magnificent queen of Jewelry Design who had won the Parisian Vogue International Jewelry Design Competition. Even Wen Xinya was greatly astonished.
The media also published photos of the five stunning sets of jewelry and specifically focused on the finale piece, Puerile Phoenix. They elaborated on the jewelry pieces themselves, as well as Wen Xinya’s statement about the inspiration behind the design. The writer sounded absolutely in awe of Wen Xinya’s designs too.
However, everyone paid the most attention to the public altercation between Wen Xinya and her stepmother Ning Shuqian. They were all interested in the gossip and the juicy news behind it. Everyone knew that Ning Shuqian had been slapped five times by Wen Xinya for stealing the jewelry designed by Mo Yunyao. They were also sympathetic towards Wen Xinya, who aired her grievances about her mother.
At the same time, everyone despised Ning Shuqian for what she had done and even detested and criticized Wen Haowen for defending Ning Shuqian. They were utterly disappointed in him for being so heartless to his former spouse and daughter, without feeling a tinge of remorse at all.
The writer was smart enough to have brought up the matter about the heirloom sales strategy after reporting about the incident, sparking an uproar amongst the readers.
The readers actively gossiped about the Wen Family and criticized the adulterous pair while taking pity on Wen Xinya!
The readers were all paying close attention to the conflicts going on in the Wen Family and the Wen Corporation. Of course, they were also envious.
There were even reports about Ning Shuqian showing up in the same outfit as Sun Xiaorou and getting into a brawl with her. Everyone simply thought that Ning Shuqian and Sun Xiaorou were two peas in a pod, for they were both vicious and shameless.
Of course, the scandalous news of Wen Haowen and Sun Xiaorou were also reported in the newspapers and the magazines. They even published photos of Wen Haowen holding Sun Xiaorou in his arms and behaving intimately with her.
The caption was extremely astonishing: “Will the CEO of the Wen Corporation, Wen Haowen, become one of Sun Xiaorou’s boy toys?”
Everyone was stunned beyond words.
The exhibition was truly flabbergasting and eventful.
While flipping through the newspapers and tabloids, Wen Xinya picked up a call. “Hello, I’m Wen Xinya!”
Du Ruoxin answered coldly in her usual tone, “The incident about the chandelier seemed very peculiar. My sixth sense is telling me that things are far more complicated than they seem. You’d better be more careful for the time being. Don’t be so silly as to lose your life.”
Du Ruoxin learned about criminal investigation and hence, had a sharper sensitivity than others. After the incident occurred, she investigated the site and discovered that the position of the chandelier was rather unusual. Hence, she did not visit Wen Xinya immediately after finding out that she had merely sprained her ankle. Instead, she stayed at the venue to investigate the scene.
In order to be an outstanding crime scene investigator, one would have to possess the ability to investigate the crime scene right after the incident occurred, for that was the best timing to do so. If one were to miss the time window, the outcome of the investigation might be affected.
Unfortunately, she did not manage to find anything.
Even the police verified that it was just an accident, though she was not convinced.
Why did those well wishes sound so terrible? Wen Xinya answered, “Don’t worry, I know what to do. I’ll be resting at Grampy’s home for the time being.”
She was surprised by Du Ruoxin’s sharpness. Hence, it was no wonder that Du Ruoxin had suspected that something was amiss. Even her friends had guessed that there was something wrong.
After ending the call, Wen Xinya continued to flip through the magazines. Si Yiyan walked towards her with some ice. “Who called you?”
Si Yiyan decided to be thick-skinned and stayed behind at the Mo Family home last night. Hence, he spent the night in the guest room.
Wen Xinya answered, “Du Ruoxin just called to remind me to be careful.”
Si Yiyan said, “Du Ruoxin will never give up until she finds some substantial clues. Remind her not to cross the line.”
Du Ruoxin would be in trouble if she were to catch the attention of the Korean-Chinese Alliance.
Having understood what he meant, Wen Xinya nodded solemnly. “Got it.”
Si Yiyan raised her leg and placed it on his knee. “The swelling has gone down quite a bit.”
Si Yiyan grabbed the ice cubes and continued to ice her ankle.
Wen Xinya said, “Although the chandelier incident occurred during the exhibition yesterday, there were, fortunately, no other issues and the exhibition can be considered successful. We can carry out our plan.”
The chandelier incident was considered to be controversial for the Wen Corporation and Wen Xinya was extremely worried that it might ruin the Wen Corporation’s reputation as well as the plan that they had devised. Hence, Wen Xinya immediately read the reports about the jewelry exhibition first thing in the morning. To her surprise, the focus was still on her mother’s last masterpieces.
Although some people took the chance to attack the Wen Corporation, that controversial news seemed to have dulled in comparison to the other reports.
Si Yiyan said, “I know what arrangements to make. Just focus on nursing your injury.”
Wen Xinya pouted and said, “I only sprained my ankle, I didn’t hurt my brain…”
