Chapter 146: Her Recording
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Now, the majority of public opinion online had already shifted, but there were still a few trolls who believed that Mei Shu was using a team of online influencers to change the narrative secretly.
The reason they refuse to believe the truth was simple.
Mei Shu’s current achievements were too astounding.
Being able to have both Elder Wen and Eider Wu accept her as a disciple, her future was too promising, which had caused jealousy from many losers.
Zhang Han saw that things were going awry and promptly deleted the draft he had just edited.
Just as he was hesitating, a phone call interrupted his thoughts.
“Hello?”
“Zhang Han, why haven’t you published the article I asked you to write?” Feng Wei reproached him impatiently, “If you don’t publish it, don’t expect to get the rest of the payment!”
“Chairwoman Feng, it’s not that I don’t want to publish it. Look at the public opinion online now. If 1 publish it, I might become the target of public backlash!” The current situation was much worse than last night. If he released the article now, who knew what the consequences would be?
But Feng Wei wasn’t willing to let him off so easily. “You’ve already taken a 300,000 yuan deposit from me. You can’t go back on your words like this. Otherwise, you’ll have to refund the whole deposit to me!”
Zhang Han was caught in a dilemma.
The money was right in front of him, and he didn’t want to let it go.
After a moment of contemplation, he finally made up his mind and said resolutely, “Alright, give me half an hour to re-edit the article.”
“Good, Mr. Zhang. I’ll wait for your good news.” Feng Wei hung up the phone, satisfied.
Zhang Han furrowed his brows for a while in front of his computer before finally deciding to write a carefully worded draft. He took a deep breath and sent out the expose, which included the audio recording as evidence.
At first, the video with the attached audio didn’t receive much attention online. However, half an hour later, people were astonished to find out that it was a voice recording of Mei Shu’s sister. They immediately clicked on the video.
In less than an hour, this audio recording had spread all over the internet.
Those who had just regretted misunderstanding Mei Shu were now completely at a loss.
What’s going on?
Why was there another reversal in this matter?
How much insider information was involved in this?
“I knew Mei Shu couldn’t have whitewashed herself. She actually pushed her own sister down the stairs. She’s truly wicked. How can someone like her attend the best high school in our city? She even stole money and bullied her classmates. Let’s quickly drive her out of Lin City! She’s embarrassing our alma mater!”
“I just saw the earlier reversal, but I didn’t expect another one so quickly. This drama is really exciting. I’m just an ordinary bystander, so 1 won’t comment for now. Let’s wait and see.”
“I don’t think there’s any need to wait anymore! What’s the status of the Mei family? Although they may not be top-tier, they definitely have more money than ordinary people like us! Maybe that post that whitewashed Mei Shu was paid for by them to buy off insiders!”
“I agree with the person above! This audio recording was personally confirmed by Mei Mu herself. She wouldn’t slander her own sister with such things, right?”
“Sister? Mei Mu is just an illegitimate daughter!”
The person who said this was a student from N0.1 High School.
They had all witnessed Mei Mu and Mei Shu’s dispute about which of them being an illegitimate daughter, so they knew the truth about Mei Mu’s identity. How could an illegitimate daughter’s words be trusted?
Maybe she was just as despicable as her mother, taking advantage of Mei Shu’s trouble to throw more stones at her!
For a moment, the online comments were once again divergent.
Both sides argued, but they couldn’t reach a conclusion even after arguing for an entire afternoon.
In the evening after school, Lu Yan came to wait for Mei Shu at the school gate again.
As soon as he saw her, he couldn’t help but remember what happened online. “Do you need my help?”
As long as she said yes, he would definitely step forward to defend her.
However, Mei Shu gently shook her head. “Your uncle has already helped me a lot. I’ll handle the rest of this matter myself.”
“My uncle?” Lu Yan widened his eyes in surprise. “Are you close to my uncle?”
Mei Shu thought for a moment and replied, “Not bad. He’s helped me a lot. He’s a good person.”
Wait a minute! This was the first time anyone had said that Lu Si was a good person!
He was practically the walking embodiment of the Grim Reaper!
Who wouldn’t be frightened to their core when they saw him? How could such a person suddenly become a considerate gentleman in Mei Shu’s eyes?
Was she really talking about his uncle?
The thought had just surfaced in his mind, and Lu Yan couldn’t help but shiver. Could it be that his uncle had developed another drastically different personality?
Lu Yan couldn’t fathom why his younger uncle’s behavior had suddenly changed. However, there was still an important matter at hand. He wanted to remind Mei Shu, “Many people online are saying that you pushed Mei Mu down the stairs to secure a spot in the piano competition. There’s also a recording of Mei Mu personally accusing you.”
“Oh?” Mei Shu halted her steps, a big smile suddenly blossoming on her lips. “Finally, she’s taking this step. I’ve been waiting for this!”
Lu Yan caught a glimpse of her defiant smile and his heart raced. “Do you have a solution already?”
“Of course.”
Mei Shu deliberately held back a crucial piece of evidence from being sent to the official media.. She was waiting for Mei Mu to dig her own grave!
