For the entire night, some could not fall asleep because of worry, some were browsing the Internet till morning out of curiosity, and some were sound asleep.
The next day, not surprisingly, Xia Ning hit the headlines again.
“Queen of Scandals transforms into daughter of a rich family. High-profile acting, low-key life!”
More and more photos of Xia Ning visiting Shen Weiran in the hospital were posted, including the ones where she was with Shen Tianlang and Gao Lihua.
In the photos, Xia Ning was smiling and polite. Shen Tianlang’s gaze on her was extremely soft. It was not like in the previous rumors that he was into Xia Ning, but he looked like an older brother to her. Gao Lihua’s attitude was not too enthusiastic.
The photos were shot well, they seemed to be very close.
It might not be convincing enough to say that Xia Ning was Shen Weiran’s niece just based on these photos. After all, many were saying that Xia Ning was Shen Weiran’s fan. It would be normal for her to visit Shen Weiran.
But yesterday afternoon, a few people in the ladies’ circle posted in their Moments [1. A status update feature of WeChat], “Thought Xia Ning was just an unpopular actress but did not expect her to be the niece of our Movie Queen Shen Eldest Miss. Everyone please give Ms. Shen face and take care of her.”
The husbands of these ladies were all quite famous, so their words were more convincing.
Then, someone on the Internet captured a screenshot of what Xia Ning said at the earlier press conference. She had admitted Shen Weiran was her aunt very early, but somehow, this was taken down by someone.
Therefore, there was only one conclusion. Xia Ning was indeed Shen Weiran’s niece.
The Internet exploded.
“Shoot, I wonder why Xia Ning is so rich. She is from the Shen family.”
“Those who were saying Xia Ning wants to marry rich can go and wash their mouths. My Lemon is the authentic rich and beautiful girl.”
“No wonder Xia Ning admired Shen Weiran. They are related.”
“The Shen family did not leak anything. I only know Shen Weiwei and Shen Tianlang, and never heard of Xia Ning from the Shen family. Somehow, I feel something is off about this!”
“Since when has Shen Weiran had a younger sister? Doesn’t she have only an older brother?”
In the living room of the Shen house, Shen Donglai was watching the entertainment news on TV. His face was horribly dark.
He took out his phone and made a call. “Take down Xia Ning’s headline now!”
“President, it’s not possible to take this one down. They said they cannot offend this person,” the assistant answered quickly.
Shen Donglai was a bit upset. “If they cannot offend others, can they offend me?”
“I said so. But Weibo said that if they had to choose, it will be you.”
Shen Donglai smashed his phone when he heard this. Gao Lihua heard the noise and walked down from upstairs. Seeing her husband’s rage, she was a bit shocked. It was her first time to see him so angry.
In the CEO’s office at the Shen Group, Shen Tianlang was reading the news online with a bitter expression. He would definitely not believe this had nothing to do with Xiao Ke.
Of course he wanted her to be back with the Shen family, but he never wanted her to be so calculated. What on earth does Xiao Ke want?
When the Internet was going crazy, Xia Ning was already at the airport.
Because she was afraid of the crowd, Xia Ning did not ask Jin Yan to drive her. She was about to check-in when she got a call. She took a look. It was from Shen Weiran.
“Auntie, you are calling me so early. Are you so concerned about me?”
“Xia Ning, take down the headline!” Shen Weiran’s cold voice came from the phone.
Xia Ning curled her lips. Watching the crowd in the airport, she said with a slight smile, “Why would I do that?”
“If you really want to publicize your identity, I don’t mind publicizing the scandals that your mother had before!”
