Chapter 1258: Rushing to Be Tortured

There was no need to look at the Internet anymore. There was a wave of mockery. The angry Country Han netizens attacked anyone who spoke up for Xia Wanyuan.

China quickly saw this report.

Since Jun Shiling was not in the country, all sorts of people in the country moved out.

The marketing accounts who had been praising Xia Wanyuan for her amazing box office a second ago began to mock her for overestimating herself the next second after collecting the money.

“Did you see the hottest topic on the Internet? Is Xia Wanyuan being praised too much? Her actions are getting more and more ridiculous. Does she know what the England Museum represents?”

In the current world, if everyone were to choose three museums to visit, one of them would definitely belong to the England Museum.

Its reputation was not only because of its huge collection, but also because of the huge human heritage behind the museum.

Many of the visiting professors in the museum were experts at Cambridge University.

The way these people sat represented authority.

And now, Xia Wanyuan was facing such a group of people head-on.

Even though in everyone’s eyes, Xia Wanyuan was talented, no one dared to casually support her on this matter.

[ Then… Let me secretly say this. Isn’t Xia Wanyuan a little too arrogant? This is England’s museum. So many people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are still standing by the side. What she said is too disrespectful. ]

[ I think it’s all the fault of the domestic netizens for being too tolerant of her. They spoil her and praise her until she doesn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth. That’s England’s museum. Even a bad student like me knows how amazing it is. How dare Xia Wanyuan? ]

[ Xia Wanyuan has been in the limelight. Isn’t China the one bearing the infamy… Who will remember her name? Everyone will only say that the Chinese don’t know the immensity of heaven and earth. ]

The matter caused an uproar internationally and domestically.

The name Xia Wanyuan was once again pushed to the center of public opinion.

At this moment, another major event suddenly erupted internationally.

Su Yueran quietly became China’s cultural ambassador. Furthermore, she appeared in America’s official palace after a while.

In the interview video, Su Yueran was chatting happily with big shots from all walks of life. Jun Shiling was even attending the banquet on the same stage.

However, it was not easy to get an interview with Jun Shiling. The media could only surround Su Yueran.

“Miss Su, when was this matter finalized? Why didn’t any news leak before?”

Su Yueran stood in front of the camera and smiled sweetly. “This matter has been decided long ago. The reason why it hasn’t been announced is mainly because some details are still being discussed.”

The reporters chased after Su Yueran and asked many questions. Su Yueran answered very patiently.

At this moment, Jun Shiling suddenly walked past. A bold reporter extended the microphone.

“CEO Jun, as a leading figure in China’s business industry, what do you think of Miss Su becoming the ambassador of the United States of America this time?”

Jun Shiling glanced at Su Yueran indifferently and said, “Congratulations.”

Other than that, there was nothing else.

The reporters wanted to follow, but Jun Shiling’s bodyguards had already surrounded them and blocked the reporters.

Looking at Jun Shiling’s departing figure, Su Yueran’s eyes were cold.

If not for Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan, how would I have become like this?

I would definitely let Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling taste the price.

Su Yueran’s unexpected news coincided with Xia Wanyuan’s shocking news.

Compared to the two, it could not help but make one think more.

Furthermore, there were still many people taking advantage of the situation and deliberately leading the way.

“Although it’s not appropriate to say this, I want to say something. Su Yueran is bringing glory to the country, and Xia Wanyuan is slandering the country. Do you agree?”

[ You marketing accounts just want the world to be in chaos, right? You were the ones who praised Xia Wanyuan back then, and you’re the ones stabbing her in the back now. So what if you don’t agree? ]

[ Xia Wanyuan’s fans, don’t forcefully redeem your master. I suggest you take a look on the Internet. Because of Xia Wanyuan, we’ve been scolded again. Look at Su Yueran. The Internet is filled with praises for her, okay? ]

[ I’m speechless. This Su Yueran’s fan in front, please clear your account information first when you step on her, okay?? The way you pretend to be a passerby to support your master is really laughable. ]

Although Xia Wanyuan was far abroad, she still noticed the intensifying scolding battle on the Internet.

Xia Wanyuan had a huge number of fans to begin with, and Su Yueran had a lot of fans too. The two of them were usually in a state of not letting each other win.

Now, they were even pinching their parents until they did not acknowledge them.

Just as everyone was arguing fiercely, Xia Wanyuan suddenly posted on Weibo.

@ Xia Wanyuan: “Before the truth is confirmed, don’t argue meaninglessly. Be good.”

With Xia Wanyuan’s words, the fans quickly quietened down and stopped arguing with Su Yueran’s fans.

Less than a minute after Xia Wanyuan posted this Weibo post, Su Yueran also posted a Weibo post with similar content.

The increasingly intense public opinion finally fell into a temporary calm under the control of the two main characters.

However, everyone knew that the calm was only temporary.

If Xia Wanyuan could not produce enough evidence tomorrow to prove that the painting in England was hers,

Then all the public opinion that had temporarily calmed down would face an even greater counterattack. Xia Wanyuan would be swept into the vortex and could not extricate herself.

The fans were silently worried for Xia Wanyuan, who was leisurely shopping on the streets of England.

Although Xia Wanyuan was very popular in England, she still had a Chinese appearance that the people of England were unfamiliar with. In addition, she was wearing a mask. No one blocked her way when she swaggered on the street.

Lu Li followed Xia Wanyuan and looked curiously at the clothes in the window. “Sister Xia, the style of the clothes here is different from China, but they’re quite good-looking.”

“Mm.” Xia Wanyuan casually pointed at a shop. “Go in and try. I’ll buy today’s clothes.”

Xia Wanyuan was wearing clothes that she had designed herself, but Xia Wanyuan did not ask everyone around her to wear Xiu Yi’s clothes.

On the contrary, Xia Wanyuan was very generous. When she saw beautiful clothes, she would bring the employees to try them.

After Lu Li worked, she had been saving money and rarely bought clothes. Now, her clothes were basically bought by Xia Wanyuan.

“Sister Xia, you’re the best!!” Lu Li’s eyes lit up.

“Go ahead. Try it. I’ll sit by the side.” Xia Wanyuan pointed at a small fountain garden beside her.

“Okay.”

Lu Li entered the clothing store. Xia Wanyuan sat on the bench beside her and fed the pigeons.

The setting sun of England had a different beauty. The pigeon flapped its wings and flew up, inexplicably calming one’s heart.

However, in peaceful scenes, there were always some people who destroyed this perfect mood.

Xia Wanyuan sat in another direction, thinking that she would just pretend not to see those two eyesores.

However, things did not go as planned.

Xia Wanyuan wanted to pretend not to see them, but the two people on the other side walked straight towards her.

“Sister, isn’t this your niece-in-law? Why are you sitting here alone?” The person who spoke had silver-gray hair and was dressed fashionably. Her blue eyes were filled with mockery.

It was Manda, the fashion director of Camellia.

Back then, when she was chased out of China by Jun Shiling, Manda had always hated Xia Wanyuan.

However, be it the various fashion competitions or design competitions, Manda thought of all sorts of ways but could not pull Xia Wanyuan down.

She could only watch as Xia Wanyuan won one big award after another.

Camellia’s China company was single-handedly facilitated by Manda. Because of Xia Wanyuan’s Xiu Yi, Camellia’s original market strategy in China had all failed, and Manda’s prestige in the company had decreased a lot.

Beside Manda, Lady York stood upright. Every inch of her seemed to be telling passers-by that this person was from the royal family of England.

]When she was not attending events, Xia Wanyuan had always dressed casually. In addition, Xia Wanyuan was pregnant.

At this moment, she was out shopping. She was wearing a pair of simple flats and a cotton dress.

She did not put on any makeup or even style her hair.

In Madam York’s eyes, every trace of casualness on Xia Wanyuan was an embodiment of being uneducated, uncultured with no status.

Lady York glanced at Xia Wanyuan and shook her head.

So what if she entered the family and became Jun Shiling’s legitimate wife? She still could not change her lowly nature. 

Receiving the mockery in Madam York’s eyes, Xia Wanyuan was really speechless.

She did not know where Jun Shiling’s cheap relative got such a sense of superiority from. It was as if she had to show off her noble status by belittling others at all times.

Xia Wanyuan could not be bothered with her. She fed the pigeons with the bait.

It was clearly Manda and Madam York who had come forward themselves, but when Xia Wanyuan really ignored them, the two of them began to feel unbalanced again.

“I heard that Mrs. Jun is suspecting that our museum collection is fake?” Manda could not help but ask her again.

This time, Xia Wanyuan looked up at Manda. Her cold eyes made one’s heart turn cold.

“Is there a problem?”

“Pfft.” Manda brushed the non-existent dust off her body. “No problem. I’m just curious where you got your courage from. I really want to come to the venue tomorrow to see Mrs. Jun’s heroic bearing.”

Xia Wanyuan threw the pigeon bait at the two old ladies’ feet and clapped her hands. “I’ll wait for you.”

At that moment, Lu Li had already come out of the clothing store in her new clothes. Seeing Xia Wanyuan, Lu Li waved at her happily.

Xia Wanyuan stood up and walked towards Lu Li, ignoring Madam York’s attempt to suppress her gaze.

Manda still wanted to stop Xia Wanyuan, but Xia Wanyuan had just thrown a large handful of bait at her feet.

The color of the clothes Manda was wearing was extremely eye-catching. The pigeons in the entire square flew towards Manda and fought for food at her feet.

Madam York had always been pampered. How could she have come into contact with pigeons so close? She immediately jumped to the side in fear.

After jumping, she realized that she had been too rude just now, so she could only endure the discomfort and walk back.

However, there were too many pigeons. They surrounded the two of them and flapped their wings. There were even pigeons circling above Lady York’s head.

Pa!

Lady York raised her arm and touched the top of her head.

Unfortunately, it was a wet thing.

At this moment, Lady York could not care less about royal etiquette. She screamed and jogged out of the square.

Manda chased the pigeon away as she scolded.

At this moment, there were not many people in the square. Their actions attracted everyone’s attention.

Even Lu Li, who had just come out, could not help but look over. “Why are there so many pigeons?”

Xia Wanyuan took a look and retracted her gaze. “Ignore them.”

“Mm.” Lu Li nodded, then spun in front of Xia Wanyuan. “Sister Xia, does this dress look good?”

Xia Wanyuan nodded. “Yes, go like this.”

“Where are we going?” Lu Li was puzzled. It was already evening and there was no extra schedule. 

Xia Wanyuan pointed at a cafe not far away. “I’ll go back to the hotel to rest myself. Go over there and find someone to ask him why he hasn’t thought it through.”

Lu Li looked at the cafe thoughtfully. “I’ll send you to the hotel building first.”

Xia Wanyuan’s pregnancy was hidden from others.

However, although Lu Li did not know that Xia Wanyuan was pregnant, Jun Shiling called her aside and instructed her alone for half an hour before she left.

Lu Li swore that that was the most suffocating half an hour she had ever felt in her life.

She usually saw Jun Shiling beside Xia Wanyuan. Lu Li felt that Jun Shiling was quite easy to get along with.

However, when she was alone with Jun Shiling, Lu Li finally knew what it meant to be punished by the domineering CEO.

Lu Li sent Xia Wanyuan back to the hotel before running to the cafe Xia Wanyuan had mentioned.

As she had expected, Xuan Sheng was leaning back in his seat by the French window. The diamond earrings by his ears were shining.

“CEO Xuan.” Lu Li walked over.

“Mm.” Xuan Sheng shook the coffee in his cup. “Today was purely coincidental. I came first.”

Lu Li sat beside Xuan Sheng. “CEO Xuan, Sister Xia asked me to ask you if you have thought it through.”

Xuan Sheng was silent for a moment.

At this moment, there was only the last afterglow of the evening sun. The warm yellow light shone on Xuan Sheng’s face.

Xuan Sheng smiled at himself and looked at Lu Li.

“What if I said that I had already thought it through?”

Lu Li did not quite understand what he meant. “Then you?”

Xuan Sheng leaned back in his chair and looked at the sky outside the window.

He thought through everything and felt that he would never be able to let go.

So just like that, he accepted everything,

as long as he could have the chance to be in the same city as Xia Wanyuan and see her occasionally.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, he was torturing himself.

However, in Xuan Sheng’s opinion,

This was clearly a rare peace in his life that was like salvation.

A child is not a fish, how can one know the joy of a fish?
