Chapter 649: Chapter 647: Kind Father 26
When the internet celebrity Shuangshuang came back to her senses, she realized the public opinion was developing in an uncontrollable direction, and she didn’t look pleased. She originally wanted to delete Ah Chen’s comment, but no matter what, she couldn’t delete it, not even hide her own videos, which made her panic a bit.
This was not what she expected, always feeling like something was beyond her control.
Netizens who saw the billing started to bash Shuangshuang under her video. Even the people who had previously rewarded her felt deceived.
Not to mention those who transferred money to Wei Yue, it felt like eating shit to them.
Even if there wasn’t any of the subsequent stuff, just the fact that Wei Yue used that phone worth eight or nine thousand, they didn’t want to donate this money.
They donated to help someone truly in need, not for this kind of person.
And what does it mean that Wei Yue isn’t short of treatment fees? Can she really come up with hundreds of thousands?
Did Ran Zhengfeng really make his daughter a match?
The internet was in an uproar, and public opinion was heading in an uncontrollable direction.
Li Feiwei was originally at home reading, trying to find difficult problems to consult with his senior sister.
The commotion online soon caught his attention.
But before he could do anything, his senior sister and Teacher Zhuo seemed already prepared, and redirected the outbreak of public opinion.
He contemplated doing something, seeing Zhuo Qiaoqing mention that Wei Yue wasn’t short of treatment fees, he laughed, it was Wei Yue’s father’s compensation money.
Holding his phone, Li Feiwei’s face darkened; his senior sister was also onto them, and if he helped out a bit with the compensation matter, it shouldn’t displease her, right?
Soon after, it was exposed online that Wei Yue’s father had died accidentally, and there was a compensation payout, confirming Wei Yue was indeed not short of treatment fees.
According to reliable information, Wei Yue had virtually not spent any of this compensation money, mostly relying on Ran Zhengfeng’s help and the orphanage over the years.
The news caused an uproar among the netizens.
So Wei Yue had hundreds of thousands but still went around fundraising?
Even if Wei Yue hadn’t actively done this, she also tacitly approved. If she really didn’t want it, there are many ways, can others really force her?
Just like Ran Chen’s phone, used for a day, it was certainly activated, and there were definitely traces of usage, could Wei Yue not know?
She’s just playing dumb!
The public opinion rapidly turned, even Zhuo Qiaoqing didn’t expect the direction to change so quickly.
Her blog post was unexpectedly promoted, along with her daughter’s comments, the father’s compensation was also uncovered, leaving them unable to recover.
Zhuo Qiaoqing had no psychological burden; the current public opinion wouldn’t impact her daughter anymore.
As long as her daughter was fine, what did others matter? It was they who were unjust first!
Over the years, she hadn’t been a qualified mother.
Even classmates in their class noticed this fact. When the phone and Wei Yue’s father’s compensation were exposed, the classmates’ mouths dropped open, eyes wide, only now understanding the meaning of Ran Chen’s words.
Was this what she meant when she said Wei Yue hadn’t reached the point of needing donations?
Hundreds of thousands, there were many impoverished students in the class, and even producing a few thousand yuan was tough for their families. And yet, these impoverished students once donated ten or twenty yuan to Wei Yue, now feeling immensely uncomfortable.
Ran Zhengfeng didn’t expect it to turn out this way either, now his mind was in disarray, he called Zhuo Qiaoqing, but she didn’t answer.
Duan Mu, who initially thought that mother and daughter would surely be condemned, also couldn’t believe the outcome, stunned.
Wei Yue, lying in the hospital bed, pale-faced, flipped through her phone.
Suddenly thinking of something, the phone fell onto the blanket, she stared at it, feeling it burning, not picking it up for a while.
The orphanage children who propelled this incident were also dumbfounded.
The orphanage director, after seeing Zhuo Qiaoqing’s bill, fell silent for a long time.
She actually didn’t know the inside story, just knowing Zhuo Qiaoqing didn’t visit the orphanage, occasionally learning about her through the quarrels between Ran Zhengfeng and Zhuo Qiaoqing.
Unaware that Ran Zhengfeng hadn’t brought a penny home, so even being kicked out was deserved by just this.
The orphanage children shouldn’t harbor resentment against Zhuo Qiaoqing for this.
She took a deep breath and called over all the children. Ran Zhengfeng was indeed kind to them; Zhuo Qiaoqing and Ran Chen could blame him, but these children weren’t in a position to, still, they need to discern right from wrong.
After listening to the director, most of the orphanage children were somewhat bewildered, though a few still hadn’t changed their view.
"Holy crap, this scoop!"
Jiang Fang was startled by someone suddenly shouting beside him: "What are you shouting for?"
This time they were at a private club, very quiet, with all sorts of recreational activities. Having played around, they were resting.
He glanced at Wen Zhixi who was still playing billiards; the way he played was as calm as his studies, as if everything was in control.
He still couldn’t figure out, did Wen Zhixi really not like Wei Yue? But having known him since childhood, he wouldn’t deceive him about this. Sigh, recalling what Wen Zhixi said, that he probably couldn’t make Ran Chen like him, he felt a bit annoyed.
"Mr. Jiang, it’s Ran Chen’s scoop." The boy who had just made a sound then held his phone in front of Jiang Fang.
Jiang Fang was stunned, Ran Chen’s scoop? What scoop?
After reading the phone, Jiang Fang also stood up abruptly, face pale. If it’s true, then what had he been doing before, Ran Chen probably despised him even more. In those two high school years, he seized every chance to make Ran Chen and Wei Yue get along.
The truth was like this!
Wen Zhixi walked back, noticing Jiang Fang looking dumbfounded, he frowned and patted Jiang Fang’s shoulder: "What’s up?"
"Young Master Wen, it’s Ran Chen’s scoop, something happened."
Actually, it should count as Wei Yue and Ran Zhengfeng’s scoop?
After Wen Zhixi read it, his face remained expressionless, but he looked at his friend with some pity. With this, his friend’s chance of pursuing Ran Chen was nearly impossible. Due to his friend’s interest in Ran Chen, he understood somewhat; Ran Chen wouldn’t like his friend, probably even loathed him.
He lightly patted Jiang Fang in comfort.
As for Wei Yue, he didn’t really have much anger, just a classmate. Knowing she’s this kind of person, he would just have less contact in the future. He still didn’t care about that thirty thousand donation.
"Forcing others to do something isn’t a good habit," Wen Zhixi said, "what’s done is done, there’s no way to change anything now."
Jiang Fang, however, was full of regret, at this point feeling several shades of resentment towards Wei Yue.
"How does she have the nerve?" he questioned.
Clearly taking everything, yet still wanting to be friends with Ran Chen, isn’t it disgusting? Even birthday gifts were taken by Ran Zhengfeng, if it were him, he would have acted long ago.
Thinking this way, Ran Chen’s temperament was really too good.
Wen Zhixi didn’t reply, sipping mineral water. Who refuses things beneficial to themselves? Humans excel at hiding anything detrimental to them.
Sometimes they even deceive themselves.
Wei Yue’s mentality was nothing other than an attempt to cover it up smoothly, subconsciously believing a good relationship with Ran Chen could better hide some matters.
It wasn’t remorse, just guilt.
