Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Although all relevant remarks and posts were deleted from the Internet, Cai Qinyue still heard about the news of Jian Yiling being fired from the Huiling Medical Research Institution.

Cai Qinyue excitedly told Wen Ruo about the news: “Wen Ruo, Jian Yiling has been fired! Her future is ruined!”

“Mother, what did you say?”

“Jian Yiling got fired from the Huiling Medical Research Institution. Apparently, she did something that violated professional conduct!”

“Really?”

Wen Ruo’s voice could not hide her happiness.

“Yep, it’s definitely true. Just now, your grandparents were asking people to help settle this matter for Jian Yiling.”

Upon hearing this, Wen Ruo’s face sank again: “I guess my grandparents still like her.”

“They like both sides. This is the case even though Jian Yiling’s last name is Jian.”

Grandma Wen and Grandpa Wen treasured Wen Ruo. At the same time, they adored Jian Yiling.

They wanted to treat their granddaughters fairly.

However, it was impossible to be impartial. After all, they spent more time with Wen Ruo.

However, they still cared about Jian Yiling. Even in regard to Wen Ruo’s incident, Grandma Wen and Grandpa Wen did not scold Jian Yiling and Wen Nuan. Instead, they merely hoped that they’d forgive Wen Ruo.

Cai Qinyue: “Don’t worry about it. Jian Yiling made a big mistake. Even if your grandparents want to help her, they probably can’t achieve much. The Jian family is under complete pressure right now. However, they still haven’t achieved anything.”

Wen Ruo: “Then what about the Zhai family?”

Cai Qinyue: “I’ve enquired into it. Apparently, the Zhai family hasn’t taken many actions. However, Zhai Yunsheng intends to sue the Huiling Medical Research Institution. His actions are intimidating however, they wouldn’t help in restoring Jian Yiling’s reputation. I guess this is karma.”

After all, Wen Ruo’s future had just gotten destroyed. She no longer had a foothold in the fashion industry.

Right after that, Jian Yiling got fired. It was even likely that she would be evicted from the medical circles.

Therefore, she might even be worse off.

Wen Ruo: “Serves her right! After all, she refused to give me a chance! The Heavens really do have eyes!”

Cai Qinyue: “I wonder who is the Head of the Huiling Medical Research Institution. I really want to thank him or her properly.”

During this time, Wen Yan stayed in his room. As he did not like to go out, he was already used to such silence.

Suddenly, his computer screen lit up.

After a few lines of code, a chat interface appeared.

[Boss, our account got blocked. Should we handle it?]

Wen Yan paused for a moment before he typed out: [No need.]

Let it be.

After he typed this, Wen Yan bitterly laughed. It seemed as though he couldn’t be completely heartless.

She was so heartless to him however he still couldn’t bear to see the entire Internet cursing at her.

He wanted himself to be heartless. If he was that heartless, her entire reputation would go down the drain.

When he thought about Jian Yiling, Wen Yan’s handsome face was tinged with pain and hatred.

Back then, it was one of the most painful moments in his life. He could no longer control the lower half of his body. He lost the ability to walk.

At such a young age, he became crippled.

In fact, he even felt that he might as well just kill himself.

However, instead of comforting him, his most beloved cousin mercilessly mocked him.

In that dimly lit room, he cried in pain.

That person who once called him “Brother Wen Yan” mercilessly mocked him.

After all, there was nothing in this world that was more painful than the pain inflicted by someone close to you.
