Chapter 89: Sister's Got Your Back

Huo Jinzhou's situation was no better than Yun Mu's. Almost immediately, he arranged for a public relations statement to refute the rumors, clarifying that his encounter with Yun Mu was merely coincidental and their conversation was normal.

Despite this, the netizens' criticism of Yun Mu did not subside.

Some accused her of being indecent and flirting around, others claimed she married Huo Tingying for his family's wealth, and there were those who criticized her for live-streaming to amass wealth, labeling her as inherently greedy...

Yun Mu paid no heed to these trolls, immersing herself in the laboratory.

However, Wen Qingqing was infuriated. She slammed her mouse down and began to counterattack on Yun Mu's behalf.

"Can't you use your brains? Huo Jinzhou has already stated that he and Yun Mu have a clear conscience. Why are you still harping on it? If you're capable, go seduce a man yourself!"

"Furthermore, all the income from Yun Mu's live streams is donated to a charitable foundation. I've pinned the proof of donation at the top of my Weibo page; you can check it out yourselves."

"To those saying Yun Mu married for the Huo family's assets, please use your brains. Yun Mu is the genuine heiress of the Yun family, and she has her own abilities. If she wanted money, would she lack it? Before you slander someone, get your facts straight!"

But to Wen Qingqing's surprise, her defense of Yun Mu's innocence only fanned the flames of the controversy.

Soon, all of Wen Qingqing's personal information was exposed by internet sleuths.

"Can we trust what this Wen Qingqing says? She's just a love child. I heard her mother did plenty of dirty deeds to climb the social ladder, and it's been widely discussed in high society!"

"Her mother is a professional mistress. It's uncertain if she's even the real offspring of the Wen family."

"Indeed, birds of a feather flock together. They're cut from the same cloth."

"Ladies of the night are despicable!"

...

Imperial Capital University.

Wen Qingqing went to the school gate at the previously agreed time to pick up Yun Mu for the company's live stream. However, she didn't expect that as soon as she got out of the car, she was surrounded by people.

"Aren't you that love child? You still dare to come to our school looking for Yun Mu!"

Unlike Yun Mu, Wen Qingqing had no power or influence, no one to back her up.

Since they couldn't take their grievances out on Yun Mu, they naturally vented all their dissatisfaction on Wen Qingqing. As soon as they saw her at the entrance, they surrounded her.

"Wen Qingqing, why don't you tell us how your mother climbed into her position back then? Let us learn from her..."

"Shut up! I won't allow you to insult my mother!" Wen Qingqing's eyes reddened, making her originally fair face appear even paler like paper. Her almond-shaped eyes glared fiercely at the people around her like an angry little beast. "Move aside, if you don't move, I won't be polite!"

The surrounding boys burst into laughter.

"What do you mean by 'not being polite'? Hahaha, you're clinging to Yun Mu just to squeeze into high society, aren't you? What pretense!"

"That's right, unfortunately, you don't have her skills. She managed to capture even the President of the Emperor Group, but what about you?"

"When did bastards become worthy of entering our school? How disgraceful!"

Faced with the relentless verbal abuse from the crowd, Wen Qingqing felt anger, urgency, and hatred. But no matter how she argued and screamed, it was all in vain, and tears welled up instantly.

For so many years, the identity of a love child was always her nightmare.

Someone started it by splashing a cup of cola on her, followed by another cup of orange juice...

Wen Qingqing couldn't avoid it and was left in a miserable state.

At that moment, a teenager on a skateboard approached from behind the crowd.

As soon as she recognized the teenager's face, a glimmer of hope appeared in Wen Qingqing's eyes.

"Young Master, should we..."

The bodyguard behind the teenager spoke but was interrupted by the teenager's sharp gaze.

"Mind your own business!"

The teenager raised his eyes, and the moment their gazes met, his eyes were as cold as frost.

He curled his lips coldly and actually sat lazily on a chair behind him, adopting an attitude of watching a show.

Wen Qingqing felt her breath hurt, and she suddenly lost the strength to resist.

Just as she closed her eyes in despair, a soft hand suddenly reached out and pulled her body to the side.

The girl used her slender and straight back to shield her from the incoming dirty water.

When Wen Qingqing opened her eyes, she met Yun Mu's clear and bright eyes.

"Yun Mu..."

"Are you stupid? Don't you know how to dodge?"

"I..." Wen Qingqing lowered her eyes.

Yun Mu took off her coat and quickly covered Wen Qingqing's head with it.

In the next second, her icy gaze swept over the crowd, bursting with a terrifying expression full of lethal force!

"Who gave you the guts to touch my person?"

Everyone looked at the terrifying Yun Mu before them, exchanging glances, too afraid to speak.

Seeing no one respond, Yun Mu's bone-chilling gaze fell on a boy in the front row who was holding an empty cola bottle in his hand.

The boy met her gaze and was about to run away.

Yun Mu curled her lips, spun around, and swept her long legs out, causing the boy to immediately fall flat on the ground.

Everyone drew in a sharp breath.

The boy was instantly drenched in cold sweat from the pain, lying on the ground and shouting, "Yun Mu, you actually dare to hit someone!"

Before he could finish his sentence, Yun Mu kicked him again in the back, sending him flying.

This time, even Wen Qingqing let out a gasp.

The entire scene fell silent as if everyone were chickens.

Yun Mu stomped her foot onto the boy's hand and ground it down with force.

She turned her eyes to Wen Qingqing, who was trembling like a little rabbit beside her, and said, "Remember, next time anyone bullies you, just knock them down! If you can't beat them, come find me; I've got your back."

Wen Qingqing paused, a warmth spreading through her heart, and nodded, "Okay."

Yun Mu withdrew her foot, and the boy immediately scrambled away in a hurry.

Almost everyone present had tried to lay hands on Wen Qingqing earlier, fearing Yun Mu would turn on them again, they all fled as well.

Si Mohan snorted coldly through his nostrils, stood up, and prepared to leave.

Yun Mu looked at him with a cold gaze, "Such a lack of chivalry, Mr. Si is nothing special after all."

Si Mohan paused, his pupils filled with disdain and contempt, "Chivalry? Does she deserve it?"

Wen Qingqing's face paled, not daring to meet Si Mohan's eyes.

"A selfish, notorious schemer, I feel dirty just looking at her. Let me give you a piece of advice: stay far away from this woman."

His tone was icy, but the tight grip on his fists and the indescribable emotion hidden deep in his eyes betrayed him.

Wen Qingqing's body trembled as she bit her lip hard.

Yun Mu was slightly startled; Si Mohan seemed to have an unusual amount of anger and hatred towards Wen Qingqing.

What's going on? Did they know each other before?

But before Yun Mu could delve deeper, Si Mohan had already left on his skateboard, never looking back.

Wen Qingqing raised her eyes to watch the youth's retreating figure, her vision gradually blurring.

So, she had become so despicable in his eyes.
