Chapter 7: Everyone’s Malice
By the time Father Shi and the other two arrived, the fire had been extinguished, leaving only a pile of burned-out ashes which was later scattered by a gust of wind.
The servants were standing on one side with water still dripping from their empty buckets.
Not far from them was another security guard lying on the ground nearby, groaning in pain.
Father Shi felt his blood boil. He looked at the culprit with burning eyes. “Why are you acting like a lunatic?!”
Shi Wenfei glanced at Shi Ran and sniggered.
Could it be that this b*tch thought that she could make my parents change their minds?
‘That’s stupid!’
Despite her silent criticism, she stepped forward.
Frowning in disapproval, Shi Wenfei chimed in. “Sister, what are you doing? Even if you’re unhappy, you shouldn’t set fire to the house. What if you burn it down? There are so many people in the house! You’re too willful!”
“You’re the one who had my clothes dumped at the door and suggested for me to live in a kennel?” Shi Ran turned to Shi Wenfei and asked directly.
Shi Wenfei gritted her teeth while her expression showed a mixture of grievance and anger. “Sister, why are you always so mean to me?!”
“I know my return troubled you, but I’ve never felt my parents’ love since I was a child.”
“I also want to get along with you and be good sisters. Why aren’t you willing to give me this chance? Am I really that bad?”
As soon as she finished speaking, a few tears fell from Shi Wenfei’s eyes.
Seeing this, Mother Shi’s heart ached.
She stepped forward at once, her well-manicured face twisted with anger.
She pointed at Shi Ran, her voice sharp and powerful. “Shi Ran! You ingrate! If Feifei hadn’t gone missing back then, do you think we would have adopted you?”
“All these years, your rich life should have belonged to Feifei! Even when she’s back, we were willing to keep you in the Shi family, but you just kept bullying Feifei!”
Mother Shi said almost every word through gritted teeth.
“That’s right! Miss Feifei is the real Missy. What else is Miss Shi Ran not satisfied with?”
“I prefer Miss Feifei. She’s so beautiful and kind. Unlike Miss Shi Ran, she’ll only embarrass the Shi family!”
The servants whispered among themselves. Almost everyone felt that Shi Ran did not know better.
All the malice surged towards Shi Ran at that moment as leaves rustled in the wind behind her.
Under the illumination of the streetlamp, her figure looked so slender it was as if she would collapse when the wind blew.
“Haha.” Her soft laughter mixed with the sound of the wind sounded ear piercing in the still night.
Shi Ran stared cynically at everyone standing opposite her.
When her gaze finally landed on Mother Shi, she said, “Grandpa was the one who adopted me back then. You were the one who lost your daughter, and you were also the ones who wanted to adopt me. Everyone knows your motive for adopting me back then.
I don’t have to take any responsibility for the hard life she’s had over the years. It’s not a reason for her to steal my fiancé or be a mistress. It’s not an excuse for you to accuse me here!”
Her crisp voice was sharp.
Shi Wenfei gripped the corner of her dress, her expression darkening.
Shi Ran, that bitch!
“I’m your mother! I have the right to accuse you!” Mother Shi’s face had turned red with anger.
Shi Ran was delighted to hear this. “Now you call yourself my mother?
When you knew that your daughter was a mistress and still defended her, even to the point of using my brother to threaten me, did you ever think of yourself as my mother?”
“You!” Mother Shi was furious.
She raised her hand that had a large jade ring on it and moved to slap Shi Ran’s face.
Her wrist froze in midair.
Mother Shi subconsciously wanted to struggle, but she just could not move.
She looked up reluctantly, only to meet a pair of eyes that were deadly cold.
The blood immediately drained from her face as she stiffened, afraid to move.
Shi Ran then swung her arm aside indifferently.
“Ah!”
Mother Shi could not withstand the force and fell to the ground.
Her hand was smashed against the rough stone of the ground causing her to cry out in pain.
Everyone was shocked by the sight.
Father Shi then hurried forward to help Mother Shi up.
“Shi Ran! You better scram!” Father Shi’s turbid eyes were fixed on Shiran and filled with disgust.
Shi Ran did not intend to stay long or take on any more anger.
When she left, her footsteps were brisk, making people even more angry.
“Are you all right, Mom? Does it hurt? Let me blow on it for you.”
Shi Wenfei held her mother’s right hand. It was already swollen and bleeding. Her heart ached as she cried. Her tone was choked. “Elder sister was really too much.”
Mother Shi’s anger was appeased. She hugged Shi Wenfei. “It’s my fault. I’ve let you down.”
“Mom ...”
The scene of mother and child being loving moved the people surrounding them.
The family then returned to the house.
After dismissing the servants, Mother Shi said angrily, “I don’t know how Shi Ran found out that that sickly person is dead but I do know she’s getting more and more unrestrained now. We can’t let her continue like this!”
Father Shi pondered for a moment before saying, “We can’t force her into a corner for the time being. She still has 5% of the corporation’s shares. It will be troublesome if they fall into the hands of my younger brother.”
“Then what should we do? Those shares should have belonged to Feifei in the first place!” Mother Shi said anxiously.
Shi Wenfei also looked eagerly at Father Shi.
“She’s just relying on the fact that she’s working in the entertainment industry now so she thinks she can do whatever she wants. As long as she can’t stay in the entertainment industry, she’ll naturally have to come back.”
Father Shi narrowed his eyes, looking determined. He already had an idea.
The next morning.
Shi Wenfei publicly stated that Shi Ran’s brother had died five years ago.
This is to show that there’s no way Shi Wenfei would use the brother to threaten Shi Ran.
It was further explained that the recording had been faked or that someone had been hired to do a voiceover to frame Shi Wenfei.
Immediately after, Father and Mother Shi also stood up for Shi Wenfei via their personal platforms.
[This recording is a fake after all! I wondered how Feifei could be that kind of person!]
[Shi Ran is really willing to do anything to frame Feifei. I’m really convinced. Can this kind of idiot just die? Why must she harm people here!]
[Then the manager is innocent. Shemust have planned and acted out the drug incident herself. She’s not very famous, but she sure is a lot of trouble.]
[I’ve already watched that video twenty times last night. It’s really sexy and she has a good figure. I hate that I’m not that man!]
[User of the previous comment , can your taste get any worse? Are your eyes smeared with shit?]
Shi Ran’s reputation was already bad, so everyone was naturally more willing to believe Shi Wenfei, who had always been known as a ‘little fairy’ in the industry.
Coupled with the fact that the parents stood up for her, it was only natural for everyone to believe Shi Wenfei’s statement.
Netizens ran to Shi Ran’s Weibo and cursed.
Shi Ran’s latest Weibo post was posted a month ago.
It was a set of photos. Originally, there were only a little more than a hundred comments. Now, it has surged to more than 100,000.
The comments were almost all scolding her. There was even talk of ordering a wreath for her upcoming funeral.
The style was consistent, as if there were bots used to make negative comments.
Shi Wenfei’s Work Studio
“Shi Ran’s Weibo has fallen. Whether it’s your fans or passers-by, they all ran to her Weibo to scold her,” Shi Wenfei’s manager said with a smile as she scrolled through her phone.
Shi Wenfei, who was closing her eyes to let the makeup artist do her makeup, smiled smugly.
Her parents and Yufan were all on her side. How could Shi Ran fight her alone?
The agent’s smug look didn’t last long. Soon she froze.
She leaned closer in disbelief and her expression darkened. She turned to Shi Wenfei. “She posted something on Weibo.”
