She is the Side Character! — Watch Her Change her fate!

Under that post, at first, some people did say Ah Chen was not involved.

But soon Ran Zhengfeng’s incident was dug up, and the tide turned instantly. Even though there were paid commenters stirring the pot, saying that no matter what, it’s a father-daughter relationship and there’s no need to be so ruthless. But today’s netizens aren’t buying into this kind of sentiment, nor do they want to be magnanimous, so they quickly dug up the essentials of Ran Zhengfeng’s past, and as a result, Ran Zhengfeng was vehemently criticized.

Ah Chen certainly didn’t let Duan Mu off the hook either. By now, Duan Mu might not really be standing up for Ran Zhengfeng out of fairness. There are selfless and righteous people, but Duan Mu is definitely not one of them. The post from the other party didn’t hide his hatred and resentment toward her.

It was basically a chance to use Ran Zhengfeng’s name to suppress her. Duan Mu hated her, which also meant that he regretted it. He had merely deceived himself and probably wasn’t aware of it.

Even Ran Zhengfeng felt helpless—he was afraid of the internet and didn’t know who was harming him.

Now the impact was significant. With the new school year already started, he felt the school leaders were looking at him differently. It was only because of his competence in teaching, adhering to the rules, and having done nothing wrong at the school—even if it was a personal matter—that he hadn’t violated any laws or regulations, so the school wouldn’t expel him. Nevertheless, his days were hard, frequently being called for talks, full of awkwardness and embarrassment.

Yet he lacked the courage to resign, fearing with his current reputation, no school would be willing to hire him.

His class was too ordinary to make much of an impact; otherwise, he might have been transferred.

At the peak of the public opinion wave, the main character of the post was exposed, and Duan Mu’s information became transparent. It wasn’t the netizens’ initiative, but rather Duan Mu’s imprudent actions that drove his colleagues, which led to this being unearthed.

Later, classmates from the old high school group also exposed Duan Mu’s past attempt to break up Chen Yijia and Wen Zhixi.

Chen Yijia is now a content creator sharing fresh stories, focusing on sharing insights without endorsing products since she doesn’t lack money. She occasionally showcases her relationship, and has quite a few followers.

With Duan Mu’s affairs coming to light, it’s clear he was going to face tough times.

Unbelievably, he was advised to resign from the company. Still in his probation period, he really had no way out.

Upon realizing Duan Mu was behind it, Ran Zhengfeng was momentarily speechless and harbored some resentment.

Duan Mu had ruined him.

Could Wei Yue not know about such a big issue? Yet she pretended not to.

Duan Mu left the company in bitterness, determined to look for another job once things calmed down, as he still had unpaid school loans.

But he forgot that Li Feiwei was a petty person, and since the other party had been confrontational, Li Feiwei was not pleased.

He didn’t do much, just made sure no company would hire Duan Mu.

Even if someone wanted to hire him, he’d find a way to take over that company; it wasn’t difficult for the Li Group.

All operations were in line with laws and regulations, no faults could be found.

He already had plans to compete with those complicit opponents for projects.

Business competition—quite normal! After all, he was a law-abiding entrepreneur focused on products, timely in tax payments, and involved in charity every year. Over the years, he had gradually removed risks from the Li Group. He would never let these hidden dangers affect his and his senior’s harmonious life together.

Ha!

If there’s anything, come to me; why disturb my senior’s peace?

If you’re unwilling to live a peaceful life, doing office work, then go do hard labor.

”What sinister thoughts are you having?” Ah Chen asked.

Li Feiwei hurriedly showed a smile, as if to say he’s sunny and bright, not sinister.

Ah Chen pinched his face: ”With such a beautiful face, don’t pull such sinister expressions, it affects your looks.”

She glanced at the phone’s screen, understanding: ”This person isn’t worth all your attention, just someone oblivious, living in his own world, a fool.”

”Mess with him a few times, then leave it at that. He’s struggling to make a good life, already messing it up on his own.”

Li Feiwei nodded obediently: ”Okay, I’ll listen to you, senior, just mess with him a few times and then leave it alone.”

In the commissioner’s memory, Duan Mu and Duan Li didn’t get along well; later, it got even worse.

When Zhuo Qiaoqing was hospitalized, she even ran into Duan Li, who was also hospitalized. She was originally a typical career woman, but at that time, she was all gloomy. Duan Mu visited her but left in a hurry, and the mother and son had nothing to say.

Duan Mu had indeed benefited from that internet uproar, obviously riding the tide to improve.

The current situation at the orphanage, Ah Chen had looked into.

Without the internet boom, without the support from kind-hearted people nationwide, they’d barely maintain a basic standard of living, with no opportunity to pursue dreams. The inherent talents couldn’t be exercised.

Are their talents really top-notch? Not necessarily.

The achievements of some people often result from a combination of luck and talent, with luck sometimes playing a bigger part, like those benefiting from the era’s boom.

But the children in the orphanage weren’t feeding off the era’s boom; they were feeding off the flesh and blood of the commissioner’s mother and daughter.

Ah Chen and Li Feiwei’s wedding went on as planned, with no inappropriate people showing up. Li Feiwei was very cautious about this, allowing no one to disrupt it, and the wedding went on very smoothly. After that, their life returned to tranquility.

Duan Mu, on the other hand, wasn’t so well off, having applied to many places without any response. The interviews were either scams or ended with waiting for notification.

Half a year passed, and he still hadn’t found a suitable collaboration, finally feeling a bit panicked.

When Duan Mu came to borrow money, Wei Yue found out about his situation.

The current Wei Yue was not the Wei Yue of the past, reluctant to get too close to Duan Mu. Hearing about Duan Mu’s situation, she still lent him money. With no job, she felt something was amiss, suspecting someone was targeting him, quickly recalling Duan Mu’s old post.

But she didn’t bring it up, no need to cause trouble for herself.

Be it Li Feiwei or Ran Chen, she couldn’t afford to offend.

”I knew only you could help me.” Duan Mu was moved.

Wei Yue didn’t feel happy, sensing that this perception wasn’t quite right. She said, ”I actually don’t have much money either, still need to honor my foster father, visit the children at the orphanage every year. Having just started work recently, I can help you because you helped me before, and we’re friends.”

”Since it’s tough finding work here, have you thought about changing cities?”

”And over the years, shouldn’t you reach out to Aunt Duan?”

Furious, Duan Mu said, ”Someone’s certainly targeting me, maybe it’s Ran Chen and Li Feiwei.”

Wei Yue didn’t follow up on that, instead, she said, ”Now the priority is to find a job, don’t you still have loans? Why not seek Aunt Duan? She certainly won’t leave you uncared for.”

The current Wei Yue only hoped someone would take care of Duan Mu, as she felt this situation was quite dangerous.
