Chapter 19: Who Is It, Really?To say the original host's father didn't care about her at all wouldn't be entirely accurate.At the very least, when she was exiled to the borderlands, he still remembered to give her such a large sum of money.But when she truly faced trouble, for the sake of so-called family honor and his own continued survival by clinging to the family, he could also abandon his daughter without hesitation.The relationship between the original host and her father was never particularly close. So, Yan Yan had no intention of putting on a show of a loving father and a filial daughter.Amidst that furious scolding, she retorted quite rudely: "Whether I come back or not isn't up to you. Right now, I don't want to come back, and it has nothing to do with you.""Hah?! Do you think you can even come back now?"Yan Buxin's voice was filled with exasperation: "Yan Yan, let me tell you, you've caused a huge disaster this time, and you've angered the old master so much he almost smashed things! You'd better watch yourself!""…Oh, so what? What does that have to do with me?"Yan Buxin, receiving none of the respect a father should command, was furious: "You're simply a disgrace! After causing all that trouble, who do you think will have to clean up your mess in the end? It'll be our Yan family!"Yan Yan added an extra sentence on behalf of the original host, though the original host probably wouldn't have cared: "Why don't you even ask whether I actually did it or not?"Yan Buxin replied without a second thought: "If it wasn't you, then who was it? The video evidence is crystal clear! I underestimated you. Going to that godforsaken place and still daring to bully classmates… We've been too lenient with you since you were little, spoiling you into this wretched state!""You're wrong. It's not about being too lenient; more accurately, you've never really bothered to discipline me."Yan Yan said disdainfully: "So, me turning out like this is also your own doing, isn't it?""…You're hopeless, just like your mother!""Don't bring her up with me either. You're a useless good-for-nothing, and she's a gold-digger. Neither of you is any better than the other; in my eyes, you're both cut from the same cloth.""…You… you!" Yan Buxin was so angry he could barely speak, gasping for breath. "Since you're so unwilling to listen, then just rot there on your own! From now on, I won't give you another cent. Let's see how you manage then!""Hah, you've already frozen my credit cards and bank accounts before saying this. Doesn't that feel hypocritical?"Yan Buxin was so provoked he almost threw the phone.But at the last moment, he remembered his task wasn't finished.He suppressed his anger again and said: "I don't care about the rest. You need to record an apology video, apologizing to that classmate of yours.""I'm going to post it online to prevent our Yan family from being dragged down by you."Yan Yan continued her mockery: "Talking about being afraid the Yan family will be implicated by me… What you're really worried about is losing the chance to get as much money as you do now, right?"Before Yan Buxin could curse at her, Yan Yan said calmly: "Want me to apologize? Not a chance. Absolutely impossible."Then she directly hung up the phone, promptly added Yan Buxin to her blacklist, and didn't want to waste another word on him.She then casually checked online to see the current state of public opinion.Sure enough, she was being torn to shreds. Those netizens who didn't know the inside story had no intention of letting her off.Yan Yan didn't take any of this to heart at all. Solving it would be a piece of cake.Just as she was about to take some action, the surveillance footage from the classroom was unexpectedly played in its entirety, completely unaltered.It even included a segment she hadn’t seen before, capturing Wang Fu’s act of smearing glue on her chair.[The situation has taken a dramatic turn—it turns out the victim was actually the bully. Identity is not the original sin; girls should pick up their weapons to protect themselves!]Because of this video, the online sentiment shifted drastically.[We completely misunderstood—the girl was the one being bullied!][It’s truly heartbreaking to see a girl being bullied. Thankfully, she bravely stood up for her rights…][This boy should be the one expelled from school. He’s despicable, targeting her like that!][The person who posted the earlier video deliberately edited it to create a sensational story. How disgusting!][Ahhh, I apologize for my earlier comments. I misunderstood…]The negative public opinion surrounding Yan Yan was cleared, while the real culprit, Wang Fu, was once again thrust into the whirlpool of public opinion.He deserved it entirely.In the reflection of the computer screen, Yan Yan’s stunningly beautiful features were tinged with confusion.She didn’t believe this had happened suddenly. The person who initially posted the video was Cheng Qi, but who was the one who released it this time?Her slender fingers tapped on the keyboard, searching relentlessly for clues.Yan Yan discovered some traces.An unknown account had extracted the complete footage from the school’s surveillance system.She traced the IP address but only found a marketing and public relations company.Beyond that, it was outside the scope of what could be investigated through a computer.So, who was it?…Feng Xiao, wrapped in a bathrobe, lounged lazily on the balcony, gazing at the few stars scattered across the sky.His expression was indifferent, his tone cold. "Once it’s resolved, there’s no need to update me further."The person on the other end of the phone chuckled, filled with curiosity. "You seem quite interested in the Yan family’s girl. Why bother with her affairs?""The old man asked me to look after her, that’s all. Don’t overthink it.""Tsk… I’ve never seen you listen to the old man so obediently before. Now you’re following his instructions?"Feng Xiao seemed unconcerned. "Just bored, needed something to do."He slowly closed his eyes, not caring whether the call had ended or not.The person on the other end, unaware that he was about to fall asleep, continued chattering. "If you really can’t find anything, just come back… Maybe the person you’re looking for isn’t even there. Searching further is futile."He tried to persuade him. "I’ve connected you with the heir of an ancient medical family. Although the master no longer treats patients, the heir has inherited all his knowledge. There might still be hope for your condition."Their demands are quite harsh, but… Hey, are you listening?"After a long pause, Feng Xiao let out an emotionless sigh. "There’s no need for treatment. Don’t waste your efforts. That’s all. I’m hanging up."After the call ended, a faint curve appeared on Feng Xiao’s thin, cold lips.People only thought the Feng family heir had gone away for recuperation, unaware that his body could no longer hold on for much longer.But encountering such an interesting little girl in the final stages of his life wasn’t entirely boring…Wang Fu's identity was quickly exposed, and even his family's business suffered as a result.Just as Yan Yan entered the school, she saw Wang Fu approaching her with a tearful face, pleading, "As long as you're willing to help me, I'll do anything."
