The Overnight Chosen Wife: darling, kiss me deeper

"Aren’t you all focusing on the wrong point?" One of the reporters pointed out.

"Right!" Another exclaimed. "All these usernames are Ji Feifei’s! Isn’t she Ji Xiehan’s sister?"

The reporters broke into discussion.

"How disgusting. ’Soon to be Mrs. Ji’? ’Ji Xiehan’s doll’? ’Ji Xiehan is mine’? ’Xiehan’s little pet’? What the heck? Is she crazy?"

"She is mannerless. Those who didn’t know might think she has a thing for her brother. Urgh... just when I thought I had seen it all."

At the side, Li Lanni smiled secretly. Ji Feifei, let’s see how much your parents will pamper you from now on.

"You guys are overreacting. Maybe she just wanted the user names to look real? You know, like they are Ji Xiehan’s fans?" Li Lanni thought out loud. While she sounded like she was defending Ji Feifei, she was just making the reporters angrier.

And they were indeed angrier. "That doesn’t make it right. It might be a little negligible if it were another man but this is her own biological brother! Doesn’t she feel disgusted?" An older female reporter retorted.

"And what’s wrong with you? She framed you and now you are defending her?! Don’t be silly!"

It soon became an argument among them.

Just as it was about to calm down, Cheng Yu exclaimed. "OH MY GOD!! I thought it was just a username. Check out the account ’Soon to be Mrs. Ji’. She has been posting pictures of her paintings. And all of them are of her brother... shirtless!"

Cheng Yu didn’t have to pretend to be disgusted. She was truly disgusted.

There was even one with a catchy caption. [I have always tried to imagine him au-naturel. Is this how he would look like under those suits?]

"..."

Ew!

How could one even have such an imagination for their brother? Was Ji Feifei insane?

Li Lanni instinctively snuck a look at that painting.

Her eyebrows were creased. Why as it that the thought of another girl imagining Ji Xiehan shirtless made her so uncomfortable?

Whatever it was, she had fed candy to the reporters. She went her way, leaving them shocked beyond words.

___

As expected, it blew up in just a few minutes.

Ji Feifei had created several accounts to insult Li Lanni.

Not only that, they were all such mushy accounts with their usernames declaring love to Ji Xiehan!

And she even posted paintings of her brother?

That was such a huge scandal.

Li Lanni didn’t want to imagine the turmoil going on in the Ji family.

...

When she got home, her mother was not yet there. So she used the opportunity to create a side account. Ji Feifei could create side accounts, so could she.

She logged into it and composed a very long post.

[I think something is really wrong with that girl.

Wasn’t she expelled from B City University for being involved with a married professor?

Now she has resorted to seducing her engaged brother? She must have a weird fetish LMAO!!

Don’t forget; she is also the one who started the thread and claimed that her brother’s engagement is fake.

Now that I think about it, the so called evidence is questionable. So what if a sheet of paper was found with a drafted love story?

It doesn’t have their names!

Moreover, she only claimed to have found it in the restaurant where they went.

Who knows who it actually belongs to?!]

With just a few statements, she created doubt in everyone’s mind.

Comments came flooding in.

Winter and Autumn: [Indeed. She only claimed that it was made by Li Lanni and Ji Xiehan.

But now that it has been revealed that she has feelings for her brother, I’m starting to think that she might be the one who created that so called script!]

Li Lanni smiled. The netizens were turning the right way. She didn’t need to do anything further. All she could do now was watch.

People had almost forgotten about how Ji Feifei was expelled and how she was accused of doing appalling things using her family’s name as a shield, including bullying people.

They dragged out all her past records and insulted her.

They didn’t spare her for a second.

[I was saying, why does this girl seem to always target Li Lanni? I was at a certain banquet and witnessed her try to frame Li Lanni!]

[Forget about that. I was in B City University before. This girl always stuck to Li Lanni. What is she, a shadow?]

[Do you need to ask? She was obviously sticking to Li Lanni so she could find a Lee way to scheme. What a loser!]

[I was in B City University too. That Ji Feifei always bullied everyone she thought was prettier or smarter than her. We were too scared to speak out because, you know, she is from the Ji family. Li Lanni, on the other hand, had always been friendly. Too bad she was blinded by that snake’s fake friendship. I’m sad that she has learnt it the hard way but I’m glad she has finally realized what kind of person she had as a friend.]

When Li Lanni saw this comment, she swallowed bitterly.

’I’m afraid the way in which I learnt was way harder than this.’

The insults kept going.

Perhaps because they felt safe with Ji Feifei’s true colors being revealed, everyone she had bullied in school spoke up.

Some of them were even major crimes.

A girl with several digits for a user name posted, [I had a friend in B City University. Just because the school hunk looked at her twice, Ji Feifei hired ruffians to defile her. Poor thing...]

Soon after she posted it, she deleted it then deleted her account altogether.

But Li Lanni had seen it.

Initially, it was just small cases but were unnegligible only because they were too many.

However, such a crime wasn’t to be trifled with.

Her guess was that, the girl had decided to speak up in the heat of the moment then after thinking about it properly, she had deleted it. Perhaps she was scared that the Ji family would find her?

She had taken a screenshot out of instinct. Who knew it would be helpful?

"This cannot be ignored." Li Lanni said with a frown.

Even if that girl’s innocence couldn’t be returned, it didn’t mean the criminals should get away with it.

As for whether it was true or not, it had to be true. Who would joke around with such a serious matter?

And.. this just added to Ji Feifei’s crimes. If she wasn’t punished, there was no such thing as justice in this world.

After thinking about it, she gave Xia Luna a call. "Can I bother you again?"

Xia Luna sounded cheerful. "How can you say that? I’m just afraid that I would be useless to you."

"Oh come on. Don’t start sounding that way." Li Lanni really didn’t know what to do with her sister. "Help me retrieve the information of the girl who just deleted her account. I will send you the screenshot."

When she was done speaking to Xia Luna, Li Yuming was back.

Her first instinct was to look at Li Lanni carefully. "Are you okay? Don’t be too sad. You still have me no matter what." She thought Li Lanni was sad after being betrayed by her best friend.

In fact, she was so angry with Ji Feifei that she wanted to storm into the Ji mansion and rip her apart. Only rationality kept her from doing that.

Surprisingly, Li Lanni simply smiled. "I’m not shocked. I knew she hated me for ages."

"What do you mean?"

Li Lanni sat next to her mother. "I said that I wanted to tell you something, right? But I couldn’t say all of it with all this going on.

Now I should tell you."

When she said this, she took out that note she had recieved months ago when she left the hospital. It was now old even though it was still in good condition.

Li Yuming looked at it and frowned. "This is...?"

"That day, I recieved this anonymous letter."

Li Yuming frowned. Wasn’t this Li Lanni’s handwriting? "You didn’t write it?"

"No." Li Lanni then gave her her own book.

Indeed, when Li Yuming looked at them together, they were slightly different. Who had such a similar handwriting?

"Anyway. I unconsciously half believed the note, so I kept an eye on Ji Feifei.

And indeed, she is a scheming girl."

Li Lanni sounded sad. "She tried every way to fool me so she could get her way. I don’t understand why she did most of the things she did, but she is involved with almost all my misfortunes. In fact, she was the one who tried to frame me, hired those bodyguards to harm me... and it could be more than just this."

Li Yuming felt betrayed. "I have always treated that girl like my own daughter. I even let her take care of you a few times when you were in coma. Oh my God... she could have killed you."

Li Lanni felt spooked just thinking about it.

"She had the perfect chance to kill me. But it would be obvious that she was the culprit."

Li Yuming thought about it and nodded too. But still, she was terrified. How could she have been so careless?! She had almost lost her daughter due to her own short-sightedness.
