Chapter 91: Chapter 91: Fully Supported by My Husband

The ambulance took the journalist away.

During a live broadcast, all netizens watched Jian Xi push someone.

A torrent of curses flooded the internet. freeNovelFire

The web was in an uproar, Weibo exploded, and all trending topics were about Jian Xi.

[Can Mrs. Si act so recklessly? Are rich young ladies above the law? The law will surely punish you severely!]

[So arrogant and domineering! Keeping a male star and still daring to be so overbearing! I support suing her!]

[Their "model couple" image is a sham! Even the wealthiest man can get cuckolded. What a joke!]

Wan Yu was furious.

"It must be that bitch Jiang Qimeng behind all this!" she fumed. "How did your accidental meeting with Zhou Yan at the airport become a premeditated affair?"

"That’s not all. They’re also saying your last accident wasn’t a coincidence but divine punishment for your infidelity. Some netizens are just too vicious! I can’t take it anymore. I’m going to tear Jiang Qimeng apart!"

Over the phone, Jian Xi remained relatively calm. "Don’t act rashly," she advised. "Aside from the fact that Si Yuhuan won’t let you touch her, if you rush over to confront her without any evidence and she calls the police, you’ll be arrested."

"So what?" Wan Yu retorted. "Are you just going to let everyone insult you like this?"

Zhou Yan gritted his teeth, his handsome face serious. "It’s all my fault. I’ve caused you trouble. I’ll go out and explain everything to the journalists. I’ll just say it was all my wishful thinking..."

"Enough! Do you want to make things even messier?" Jian Xi snapped.

Zhou Yan looked guilty. "But, Senior..."

"Doing that will only confirm our affair! And you’ll completely ruin yourself." Jian Xi’s mind raced.

She wasn’t someone who would just sit around and wait for doom. The other party dared to pull this off because they were sure that this kind of media storm wasn’t something her second brother could suppress with his connections. With this kind of spread and click rate, her promiscuous reputation would soon be known far and wide, becoming fodder for gossip.

Wan Yu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, torn between her best friend and her cash cow. She had just settled things with Du Mingrui, thinking she could finally relax and make money. How had it all gone so wrong?

Jian Xi was waiting. There was still one person who hadn’t made a move.

「Dawn was breaking.」

The online rumors spread even faster.

Jian Xi saw with her own eyes that she had become the top trending topic across all media.

She looked at Zhou Yan and gave a bitter smile. "You all wanted to go viral, see? The perfect convergence of factors—I went viral first."

Zhou Yan was anxious. "Senior, you’re still in the mood to joke!"

"What else can I do? Die?"

A person who’s died once tends to stay much calmer when faced with crises. There were only two ways out of this. First, Si Yuhuan could stand by her. Over time, everyone would gradually forget about this. But with the label of a cuckold, could he really swallow his pride? Jian Xi shivered. Knowing his personality, with such a huge scandal, she’d be lucky if he didn’t strangle her. She didn’t dare ask him for help; she was already trying to avoid him. Second, apologize to the journalists and admit she was wrong to push someone. As for the affair, she could say she was here with Zhou Yan on official business. It didn’t matter if people believed it or not; without further explanation, it would also fade over time. But this would still mean Si Yuhuan was labeled a cuckold, and there was no guarantee he wouldn’t find an excuse to cause trouble for her..com

Jian Xi felt suffocated. Even in her second life, Jiang Qimeng’s schemes were still so potent; no matter what she did, she would get hurt. Either the netizens would tear her apart, or Si Yuhuan would deliver the fatal blow. What was worse, that journalist had gone too far. Insulting her was one thing, but dragging the Jian Family into it made her even angrier. She couldn’t bring herself to apologize after such an insult.

Just when she was at her wits’ end, the hotel doorbell rang.

Jian Xi lost her temper. "We’ve already hidden here! What more do you want? You’re trespassing—"

The door opened, and she saw Si Yuhuan, his handsome face dark.

He looked travel-worn, his usually meticulous shirt wrinkled.

Yan Qing chuckled. "Good morning, Madam."

Jian Xi’s mouth twitched. "You’re not here to claim my life, are you?"

Si Yuhuan’s aura was too overpowering. Even though she felt she was in the right, she couldn’t help but shrink back.

Clearly seeing the fear in her eyes, Si Yuhuan shot her a cold glance. His gaze finally settled on Zhou Yan, who stood behind Jian Xi. "I told you not to get close to her. Don’t you understand?"

Zhou Yan opened his mouth to speak.

Si Yuhuan continued, "Apart from bringing her trouble, you’re good for nothing. Childish notions of love don’t suit adults!"

He sat down on the sofa, his kingly aura making Zhou Yan look like a chastened college student in his presence.

"Sorry, I..." Zhou Yan began.

"I don’t want to hear your explanations." Si Yuhuan cut him off. "Yan Qing, escort him out."

Zhou Yan refused. "I caused this mess. I will..."

"Zhou Yan, you might be able to bear the infamy, but what about the person behind you? Can he shoulder it?"

Zhou Yan shuddered, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.

Jian Xi was confused. Who was this person behind him?

"I..." Zhou Yan hesitated.

Another knock came at the door.

A man with a buzz cut, wearing a uniform, nodded. "Miss Jian, Director Si, hello."

Si Yuhuan barely glanced up.

The man looked directly at Zhou Yan. "He is waiting for you downstairs. Please come with me."

Zhou Yan looked deeply at Jian Xi. "Don’t worry. No matter what, I won’t let you face all this alone. If worst comes to worst..."

As if he had made a decision, before he could finish speaking, the uniformed man delivered a swift chop to the back of Zhou Yan’s neck, knocking him unconscious. The man caught him. "Apologies, Director Si, Miss Jian, for the trouble."

Then he swiftly took Zhou Yan away.

"Hey!" Jian Xi tried to follow but was stopped by Yan Qing.

"Madam, it’s best not to meddle in others’ affairs. This is an emergency," Yan Qing explained. "The Boss flew here on his private jet overnight and has been personally handling things."

Yan Qing presented a stack of documents.

Jian Xi first saw a statement. It clearly explained that New Fashion Media, Haohan Group, and Fenghuang Entertainment were currently organizing a charity event. It stated that Jian Xi, as a professional lawyer and Mrs. Si, had come to the Northwest with the celebrity Zhou Yan for an on-site inspection and to offer support, as well as to film a charity movie for promotional purposes. The statement added that malicious parties had manipulated public opinion to harm her, and legal action would be pursued against them.

Following that was a stack of lawsuits targeting all the media reporters who had harassed Jian Xi at the hotel entrance.

Number One Entertainment, the agency of the reporter Jian Xi had pushed, received special attention from Si Yuhuan. He was demanding 5,000,000 in cash from them as compensation for emotional distress and defamation.

At the same time, Si Yuhuan had obtained the lobby surveillance footage. It clearly showed the reporter almost striking Jian Xi with the microphone, and her push was an act of self-defense. Furthermore, the injuries the reporter sustained from the fall were revealed to be old bruises. A newly released forensic report, which had been publicly posted online, confirmed this, making it indisputable.

Netizens had been angry at Jian Xi for allegedly assaulting someone and suspected her of secretly keeping a male celebrity behind Si Yuhuan’s back.

Now, Si Yuhuan had systematically debunked each accusation, and the tide of online vilification instantly turned into praise.

Moreover, Jian Xi’s intention to provide legal aid to remote areas was highlighted, casting her in a positive light and earning her widespread commendation.

Jian Xi was stunned. Could things really be handled this way?
