This farce finally ended with a press conference, and the quarrels between the fans of the two parties fizzled out.
Early the next morning, as soon as the dessert shop opened, a well - wrapped teenager led a similarly well - wrapped little girl scurried in.
Wen Yin couldn't help widening her eyes, looking at the big and the small in front of her in surprise.
Jian Tuo's muffled voice came from under his mask.
"Sorry, sister. I really didn't know that a simple meal yesterday would bring you so much trouble."
The teenager's voice was clear and pure, but now it sounded listless, completely losing his previous high - spirited look.
And Jian Niannian, who was also wrapped tightly beside him, opened her mouth with a sob.
"Sorry, sister. I really didn't know that I caused you so much trouble yesterday."
"Brother said that it's better for us to see each other less in the future, or your image will be affected."
Jian Niannian sobbed as she spoke. Her words were slurred because of crying.
"I secretly checked my phone yesterday and saw that many people on the Internet were scolding you. It's all because of me..."
Although Jian Niannian's words were not very clear, Wen Yin could guess what she meant.
Wen Yin couldn't help laughing softly. She squatted in front of Jian Niannian.
She gently took off her hat and mask, revealing the little girl's red, rabbit - like eyes.
It was obvious that Jian Niannian had not just been crying. She must have been quite frightened and cried last night.
Snot involuntarily ran down as Jian Niannian cried. Seeing this, Jian Tuo quickly pulled her away from Wen Yin.
"Jian Niannian, speak properly! Stop crying and wipe your snot!"
Jian Tuo pulled her away so quickly, as if he was afraid that her snot would get on Wen Yin.
But Wen Yin pulled the girl back without caring.
"Sorry, Niannian. I made you bear so much at such a young age."
"You don't have to care about what those people say."
"It's not your fault at all. I just like you and think you're cute, so I had a meal with you."
Wen Yin gently picked up a tissue to wipe Jian Niannian's tears.
Hearing her soothing words, Jian Niannian couldn't help sniffling. Her big, wet eyes looked at Wen Yin.
They were as bright as freshly washed grapes.
"Really? Did I really not bring you any trouble?"
Jian Niannian asked in a muffled voice.
Only after seeing Wen Yin nod did Jian Niannian stop crying.
"My brother also feels very guilty because of this..."
Jian Niannian couldn't help muttering.
Hearing this, Wen Yin slowly looked up, her gaze falling on the masked teenager.
Although the paparazzi didn't show Jian Tuo's full face, those who were familiar with him could recognize him at a glance.
Jian Tuo had just entered college. There must be a lot of gossips about him on campus.
Wen Yin gave him an apologetic smile.
"I didn't expect you two to be involved in this storm."
"The investigation results came out today, and the press conference has also been held. It was someone who deliberately fanned the flames behind this."
"Sorry."
Wen Yin sincerely apologized to Jian Tuo.
"I'll find someone to control those gossips on campus. You don't have to worry."
Mentioning this, Jian Tuo couldn't help waving his hand.
"I'm fine, sister."
"However, my WeChat messages exploded overnight."
Jian Tuo said speechlessly, "They all asked me if I was kept by a rich sister."
Jian Tuo's humorous joke successfully made Wen Yin laugh, and also relieved her psychological burden.
But she still had to deal with those things.
It was clearly the paparazzi who caused this trouble. She shouldn't let Jian Tuo, an ordinary person, suffer from unnecessary gossips.
You know, a random word might be the last straw that breaks the camel's back. Wen Yin deeply understood this truth.
Jian Tuo looked around. It was morning, and there were not many people in the dessert shop.
So Jian Tuo put on his mask again and waved to her.
"Then sister, you're busy. We'll leave first."
Wen Yin gave them a gentle smile, even though she was wearing a mask.
But from her deer - like eyes, one could still feel her gentle smile that melted like an ancient iceberg.
The teenager's heart couldn't help pounding a few times. Then Jian Tuo felt a little lucky.
Fortunately, he was wearing a mask, or others would have seen his blushing embarrassment.
Jian Tuo led Jian Niannian out of the dessert shop. The shadows of the big and the small were stretched a lot by the sun.
Jian Niannian couldn't help sniffling and looked up at him.
"So how did you know that so many paparazzi would get involved in this?"
Jian Niannian opened her mouth, looking as precocious as ever.
Jian Tuo tapped Jian Niannian's head and gave her a look, signaling her not to talk nonsense.
Jian Niannian immediately understood what he meant and walked forward.
"Anyway, the mission was a success."
A low chuckle escaped the teenager's throat. His voice was very low.
Even the little girl beside him didn't hear it clearly.

The Qi Family.
Wen Zhi stumbled out of Qi Siran's room.
She hurriedly pulled down her long sleeves, trying hard to cover the blue and purple bruises on her arms.
The last glimmer of light in her eyes disappeared. She no longer had the high - spirited look she had when she was the fake daughter of the Wen Family.
Now Wen Zhi was just like a stray dog. Everyone would kick her wherever she went.
Wen Zhi couldn't help biting her lower lip to hold back her urge to cry.
Just as she walked around the corner of the stairs, Wen Zhi ran into a not - so - unfamiliar person.
"Madam Qi."
After seeing the person coming, Wen Zhi bowed respectfully to her.
After all, this person's background was not small. She was the mistress of the Qi Family, far beyond Wen Zhi's reach.
Madam Qi nodded at Wen Zhi.
"Are you leaving, Miss Wen?"
Madam Qi just made a simple greeting.
"Yes. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
Madam Qi watched Wen Zhi's fleeing back and couldn't help frowning.
Why did Wen Zhi seem so strange?
This feeling didn't last long. Madam Qi walked into the study and saw the document already placed on the table.
In her panic, Madam Qi felt her fingertips trembling.
Her well - maintained fingers trembled as she reached for the document bag.
But the next second, she retracted her hand in fear.
It was as if there was some ferocious beast in the bag.
After a long time, Madam Qi finally made up her mind and slowly opened the folder.
The words "Paternity Test Report" suddenly came into her eyes.
