Night Fire Lingering

"Currently?"

Others also keenly noticed the word.

It was as if Wen Yan was a spoiled and temperamental little girl. Gu Yanci glanced at Wen Yan and added helplessly, "My wife is throwing a tantrum at me."

This looks like a loving couple where the husband dotes on his wife!

Wen Yan: "?"

Who the hell is throwing a tantrum at you?

There were many rumors that Wen Muzhi and Gu Yanci were childhood sweethearts and had a close relationship. Many people speculated that the two were a couple, and Wen Muzhi herself never denied it. Unexpectedly, the original wife of the Wen family was Gu Yanci's wife!

"Oh, just like mother, daughter follows mother's lead, the mistress's daughter also loves being a mistress!" someone in the crowd mocked.

Wen Muzhi's face turned pale and then white, then pale and then pale again. He gritted his teeth and looked at Wen Yan: "Wen Yan, you did this on purpose!"

Suddenly, as if struck by a thought, her eyes flashed with hatred: "Wen Yan, you're not surprised at all by this news? Did you set this up on purpose? You not only want to destroy me, you want to destroy this family!"

"This home?" Wen Yan found those three words laughable. "Wen Muzhi, from the day you and your mother moved in, that was your home, not mine! I haven't even blamed you and your mother for deceiving me for so many years, and you're accusing me first? If you're really so righteous, why don't you get a paternity test done right now and show everyone the paternity test showing no romantic relationship!"

Wen Muzhi's face relaxed.

Yes, although she is Wen Yonghai's biological daughter, paternity tests can be faked. When the test results are released, everyone will have to shut up!

However, the next second, Wen Yan suddenly laughed and said, "But what if you tamper with the paternity test report? Why not go to court? The court will take samples and conduct experiments, and no one can doubt the authenticity of the results."

Wen Muzhi then realized that Wen Yan had been toying with her, deliberately giving her hope, only to crush her and that hope into the ground!

The TV station's leaders rushed over upon hearing the commotion.

Wen Muzhi quickly composed himself: "Boss, I've been preparing for this interview for a long time. I was the one who originally arranged to meet with President Gu. I'm confident that I can complete this task perfectly."

Gu Yanci is a leader in the capital circle and a top figure among the younger generation. She will probably find it difficult to get resources from Gu Yanci again in the future. This is the last time she can use Gu Yanci to climb up the ladder, and she cannot let it go easily!

The TV station executives, not daring to offend Gu Yanci, followed his advice: "Mr. Gu, what do you think of today's interview—"

Gu Yanci remained silent and looked at Wen Yan.

"Why are you looking at me? Do I have the final say?" Wen Yan smiled slightly. "Then let's change the host and give more opportunities to the capable."

In one sentence, Wen Muzhi's interview opportunity was denied, as was her ability, and she was implied that Wen Muzhi was not a "capable person".

Without giving Wen Muzhi a chance to speak, the leader directly appointed another host.

Gu Yanci was born with good looks, and his suits were all custom-made by private designers, so he didn't need any makeup or styling. The stylist styled his hair, and he exuded a more sophisticated and sharp business elite vibe.

The new host is a beautiful woman in her late twenties named Wen Feng. She majored in broadcasting and hosting in college, but lacked resources after graduation, so she switched to editing and interviewing work on the financial channel. Today, she is doing what she is supposed to do best.

With Wen Feng's assistance, Gu Yanci familiarized himself with the interview transcript.

Wen Yan was sitting in the rest area reviewing her doctoral interview notes when a cold voice suddenly came from beside her: "When did you find out? Wen Yan, this was all your conspiracy."

Wen Yan looked up and saw Wen Muzhi's face full of hatred.

"So what?"

After Wen Yan finished speaking those four words, Wen Muzhi's face showed an expression of 'I knew it'.

Wen Yan added with a smile, "So what if it isn't?"

She won't give herself any ammunition to criticize her.

"You!" Wen Muzhi pointed at Wen Yan's nose, then, remembering the recording pen in his pocket, laughed in anger. "You're so quick-witted! I really misjudged you before!"

"what are you doing?"

Gu Yanci walked over at some point and stood beside Wen Yan, clearly placing her in a protective zone.

Wen Muzhi didn't know whether to laugh coldly or be heartbroken: "You're so worried that I'll hurt her? Brother Ci, we've known each other for so many years, is this how you think of me?"

Gu Yanci countered, "Haven't you done enough?"

Wen Muzhi countered, "Then did you do too little?"

In an instant, the atmosphere froze, becoming eerily silent.

Gu Yanci's face immediately turned cold, and his eyes revealed a chilling aura.

The sudden drop in air pressure caused the surrounding staff to stop involuntarily, afraid to make any rash moves.

Wen Muzhi took a step back, making it easier to meet Gu Yanci's gaze.

She recklessly and cruelly reminded him, "Brother Ci, who was it that burned Wen Yan's hands? Who refused her call, almost causing her to bleed to death? In the past three years, have you caused her little heartache and hurt?"

The people in the photography studio looked at each other in bewilderment.

Mr. Gu and Miss Wen seem very much in love, so why are these things happening?

These things are just... infuriating to hear about!

Wen Feng, who had come to find Gu Yanci to finalize the interview process, stopped in his tracks and looked at Gu Yanci with a hint of disdain.

Gu Yanci stood motionless, his gaze fixed on Wen Muzhi, unable to utter a single word in rebuttal.

Because every word Wen Muzhi said was true. Even if these things were not his intention, the harm he caused Wen Yan was real.

It felt like my heart was being relentlessly slashed by a poisoned knife.

The pain was intense, suffocating.

"Are you done?"

Finally, a clear, cold female voice broke the eerie silence.

Wen Yan sat languidly on the sofa, her expression still relaxed, as if what Wen Muzhi was saying had nothing to do with her.

More than a dozen pairs of eyes turned to Wen Yan.

Wen Yan said calmly, "Those who are not involved, please leave the filming location."

The "unrelated personnel" simply refers to Wen Muzhi, who is neither a host nor a staff member.

Wen Muzhi's face turned pale with anger: "Wen Yan, you're so protective of Gu Yanci, you're a born bootlicker—"

Before she could utter the word 'dog,' Wen Yan suddenly stood up and raised her hand:

"Snapped!"

A crisp slap landed squarely on Wen Muzhi's face.

Everyone was stunned, never expecting that the seemingly gentle Miss Gu would slap someone without hesitation.

Wen Yan's expressionless demeanor exuded an aura of authority, a stark contrast to her earlier gentle college student persona, who had been lounging on the sofa.

"You have no right to comment on my affairs? You'd better go back and think about how to deny being an illegitimate child!"
