Chapter 273: Attempted Murder

“Of course! They dare to mistreat my daughter-in-law. The Jiang family is really shameless.” Zhao Jiao was filled with anger. “Even if there’s no evidence of what happened back then, everyone knows the truth. They dare to let this Jiang Chun approach Shen Jun again, aren’t they just eyeing Shen Jun as the sole heir of the Shen family? Hmph!”

The more Zhao Jiao thought about it, the angrier she got. hy had Shen Jun been kidnapped back then? On the surface, it seemed like Jiang Chun had saved him. Back then, Jiang Chun was just a five-year-old girl, so the police didn’t suspect anything.

But what kind of family were the Jiang family and the Shen family in the capital? Shen Jun had snuck out himself, and Jiang Chun just happened to be outside as a small child, leading Shen Jun away? Dozens of bodyguards from the Shen family had been unable to find Shen Jun at the time, and the two kids had managed to avoid surveillance cameras. If this was all a coincidence, it was too much of a coincidence, right?

The more they investigated this matter, the more suspicious it became. However, the Jiang and supporting families ultimately obstructed the investigation. The Shen family had seen that Shen Jun wasn’t harmed, and in the end, they had let it go. The two families had cut off all contact as well.

However, anyone with a discerning eye knew what was going on. They were all pretending not to understand while having a clear understanding.

Unexpectedly, after so many years, with Shen Jun about to enter college, the Jiang family was making a move again. And now, they had even targeted Zhao Jiao’s favored daughter-in-law. Zhao Jiao couldn’t bear it any longer.

Seeing Zhao Jiao getting angry, Shen Mo remained silent for a moment before saying, “Darling, 1 think we shouldn’t get involved in this matter.”

Hearing this, Zhao Jiao couldn’t take it anymore. She glared at Shen Mo and said, “Old Shen! Your daughter-in-law has been bullied. Wen Nian is a girl from a small family. How is she going to handle this matter?”

“If you want her to become the future daughter-in-law of the Shen family, there are certain experiences she must go through,” It was rare that Shen Mo did not go along with her words. Moreover, he looked somewhat serious.

“Wifey, Shen Jun is the only child in the Shen family. He not only has to shoulder heavy responsibilities in the future, but his wife also has to. You have the support of the Zhao family, and your two brothers are our allies. But what about Wen Nian? Besides, she’s a budding star right now. She’ll face even greater challenges in the future.”

Hearing Shen Mo’s words, Zhao Jiao sat back on the bed, feeling a little discouraged. “I know you’re right. It’s not easy to be the matriarch of the Shen family. But my heart aches for this child. What if…”

Shen Mo affectionately stroked her hair. “There are no ‘what ifs.’ Let’s see how the two kids handle this first. If it doesn’t work out, I’ll definitely take action. Besides, Zhao Wu is still in Hai City, isn’t he? If Shen Jun can’t handle it, he’ll go to him. So, don’t worry.”

Hearing Shen Mo’s reassurances and considering that Zhao Wu was somewhat reliable when it came to handling such matters, Zhao Jiao finally nodded silently.

However, she had already made up her mind. Even if she didn’t take action directly, she would quietly guide the fan support group from behind, helping them present a united front to defend Wen Nian’s image. This shouldn’t be considered cheating, right?

With her decision made, Zhao Jiao completely ignored her clingy husband’s desire to “comfort” her and went straight to the group chat to guide the fans on how to present a united defense for Wen Nian.

The next morning, as soon as Wen Nian woke up, she saw the serious-looking Zhou Bei and Sun Min standing by her bed with dark circles under their eyes.

“What’s wrong? Did something happen?” Wen Nian glanced at her phone. It was only 5:30 in the morning. Did these two stay up all night?

Zhou Bei opened her phone and handed it to Wen Nian. As Wen Nian saw the content of the post, she was somewhat surprised. She hadn’t expected that such a minor incident would attract so much attention.

“Quickly check your social media accounts. Some people are saying they found evidence of you pushing Jiang Chun into the water. They’re saying… saying you…” Sun Min’s voice was tinged with a sense of grievance, and she couldn’t bring herself to finish her sentence.

“They’re actually accusing you of attempted murder!” Zhou Bei exclaimed, her excitement palpable. “Can you believe this? 1 clearly saw someone post evidence that Jiang Chun jumped in by herself yesterday. But today, all the evidence is gone. People defending you in the campus forum have had their IDs blocked, and many of my posts have been deleted. It must be the Jiang family. They’re really bullying us!”

Seeing the two visibly excited individuals in front of her, Wen Nian could only smile. “You stayed up all night for this? We’re in our senior year, it’s a crucial time. Is this minor issue really worth it?”

“Is it not worth it? Aren’t you angry?” Sun Min’s face turned red. She had been so upset yesterday that she hadn’t slept all night. She had wanted to find the video that had proven Wen Nian’s innocence earlier, but she couldn’t find it anywhere now.

With a helpless smile, Wen Nian said, “1 knew something like this would happen sooner or later since I started acting in movies. People used to say 1 sold myself to become a female lead, and now they’re saying I attempted murder. There will be even more hurtful words in the future. If I get angry every time, 1’11 end up being driven mad..”
