After the Harem Novel’s Female Lead was Spoiled by the Comments - Chapter 10

When Yan Qingwen arrived at the hospital, some media outlets had already received news that Wen Hebai had been injured and admitted. They were trying to sneak into the ward to take secret photos.

Wen Hebai was in a VIP ward, and the elevators to those floors required access cards, so they could not get in. But while waiting at the entrance, they saw Yan Qingwen and immediately became excited.

“President Yan is here to visit her newlywed wife! This is another big scoop. Hurry, take photos!”

“President Yan, someone is secretly taking photos,” Yan Qingwen’s bodyguard reminded her.

Yan Qingwen had no time to deal with these paparazzi right now. She said, “Go handle it.”

The bodyguard was about to leave when she called him back. “Wait. Help me ask whether any of them have been following Wen Hebai since this morning. If there are any, tell them I want to treat them to a meal and have them wait for me.”

The bodyguard did not understand her intention, but he still followed her instructions.

Yan Qingwen arrived outside the ward and saw Wen Hebai’s assistant, as well as Zhuang Yi, Jiang Yunhan, and Mu Rong, whose face was deathly pale.

“President… President Yan, you’re here!” Wen Hebai’s assistant said, somewhat nervous.

Yan Qingwen’s brows immediately furrowed, but the first thing she cared about was Wen Hebai. “How is Ah Bai?”

Zhuang Yi took a step forward, seemingly wanting to say something. “Miss Yan…”

The ward door slid open with a whoosh, and Su Jinyue anxiously reported, “Sister Yan, Sister Bai’s head was cut by glass shards. She bled so much and had to get several stitches!”

Yan Qingwen passed by Zhuang Yi and Jiang Yunhan, who was sitting on a bench playing a mobile game, and walked straight into the ward.

On the hospital bed, Wen Hebai, whose head was wrapped in several layers of bandages, was wearing a patient gown and lying down to rest. A bloodstained piece of clothing had been tossed onto the sofa nearby.

Yan Qingwen recognized it as Wen Hebai’s casual outfit. Seeing those scattered bloodstains, an inexplicable fury lodged in her chest. She asked Su Jinyue, “What happened? How did she get injured?”

Like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, Su Jinyue told her everything from beginning to end.

At noon today, Su Jinyue had used the excuse of discussing business to get off work an hour early and ran to a restaurant near the company to meet Wen Hebai.

But before she could see Wen Hebai, she first saw Mu Rong and Jiang Yunhan.

Mu Rong held a grudge against Su Jinyue for exposing him online last night, so he went up to her and started arguing.

The two argued fiercely, but because of their identities, the restaurant manager did not dare step forward to mediate.

At that moment, Su Jinyue heard Jiang Yunhan’s voice:

【Damn, rich young lady Su Jinyue and wastrel rich young master Mu Rong getting into an argument at a Michelin three-star restaurant—isn’t this the content of Chapter 53? This chapter is the Dragon King male lead’s shining moment, where he shows off and slaps the wastrel rich young master in the face!】

“What are you saying, you stalker?” Su Jinyue snapped angrily at Jiang Yunhan.

Jiang Yunhan hurriedly backed away and said, “I didn’t say anything. Don’t drag me into this.”

【She’s pretty good-looking, but unfortunately, she’s love-brained. Even though she knows the Dragon King male lead is the Yan family’s live-in son-in-law and the husband of the neighbor sister she’s closest to, she’ll still be deceived by the Dragon King male lead’s sweet words, giving him both her heart and body, loving him beyond redemption!】

Su Jinyue was just about to explode.

When had she ever been love-brained? And when had she ever been deceived in body and heart by some Dragon King?

However, she noticed that Jiang Yunhan had not opened his mouth at all. She immediately realized that she seemed to have heard Jiang Yunhan’s inner thoughts?!

But why could she not understand what Jiang Yunhan was talking about?

Seeing that Su Jinyue had finally quieted down, Jiang Yunhan looked around. When he saw Zhuang Yi appear in the restaurant uniform, his pupils suddenly shrank.

【Damn, the Dragon King male lead really appeared!】

Su Jinyue followed his gaze and saw a very handsome man.

She did not know Zhuang Yi. After all, when she arrived at the Yan family manor yesterday, Yan Qingwen had already gone to get her marriage certificate with Wen Hebai. She had missed the liveliest scene and had not met Zhuang Yi or Jiang Yunhan.

Upon seeing Zhuang Yi for the first time, she was momentarily dazed because of that handsome face.

Just as Su Jinyue developed a trace of curiosity toward Zhuang Yi, she heard Jiang Yunhan babbling in his heart again:

【Here it comes! Because the Dragon King male lead was made difficult for by the Yan family, he deliberately came to work at a restaurant often frequented by K City’s elite in order to win Yan Qingwen’s sympathy. By coincidence, Su Jinyue came to the restaurant to eat and ran into Mu Rong, and the two had another argument. The Dragon King male lead then stepped forward to teach Mu Rong a lesson on Su Jinyue’s behalf. Although he ended up losing his job, he won Su Jinyue’s heart!】

Su Jinyue frowned.

What kind of nonsense was this? What did any of this have to do with Sister Yan?

Zhuang Yi walked over and said righteously to Mu Rong, “Sir, this restaurant is a public place. Loud disturbances are prohibited. To avoid affecting other guests, please keep quiet!”

When Mu Rong saw that even a mere server dared to come in front of him and throw his weight around, rage instantly surged up. “Do you know who I am? How dare you speak to me like that?”

Zhuang Yi shot back domineeringly, “No matter who you are, this is not a place where you can act wildly.”

Mu Rong laughed from anger and called the manager over. “Fire him!”

The manager looked troubled. He did not dare fire Zhuang Yi. This person was someone the boss had personally instructed him to take care of.

Su Jinyue could not stand it anymore and was about to step forward to defend Zhuang Yi, but Jiang Yunhan spoke before she could.

“Old Rong, forget it.”

In his heart, he thought:

【Talking back to the Dragon King male lead—do you have a death wish?!】

Mu Rong could not understand. “Third Young Master, it’s one thing if you don’t help me, but you’re actually helping an outsider?!”

Jiang Yunhan pulled him away. “I’m saving your life! Listen to me. Stop going against Su Jinyue, and don’t make things difficult for a server either. We came here to eat, not to argue.”

But Mu Rong felt that he had lost face. With so many guests dining in the restaurant, if this matter spread, the rich second-generation circle in K City would definitely laugh at him for being scolded by a mere server until he could not talk back. How was he supposed to continue mixing in the circle after this?

His mind was full of thoughts of regaining his dignity, but Jiang Yunhan and Su Jinyue kept stopping him. Overcome by rage, he grabbed the wine bottle beside the dining table and smashed it toward Zhuang Yi.

Zhuang Yi dodged in time, and the wine bottle hit the pillar behind him.

However, Wen Hebai happened to be passing by. The glass shards swept directly across her head, and blood immediately dripped from her hair.

…

Yan Qingwen took a deep breath and tried hard to remain restrained and calm.

“Did she undergo a detailed examination?” she asked.

Su Jinyue answered, “Everything has been checked. Only her scalp was injured. But the wound is three centimeters long. It looked so scary!”

Yan Qingwen hummed in acknowledgment and left the ward.

Mu Rong hurriedly said, “President… President Yan, I’ll take responsibility for her.”

Yan Qingwen’s gaze was icy. “She is my wife. There is no need for you to take responsibility for her. You only need to take responsibility for this accident.”

Mu Rong shrank his neck. “Yes, I’ll take full responsibility for this accident. As for the specific compensation, my father will personally come over to discuss it.”

“When you were throwing your weight around outside, you didn’t think of your family. But once you make a mistake and need someone to clean up after you, you suddenly remember them.” Yan Qingwen mocked him. “A young master really is a young master.”

Mu Rong was scolded until he felt both ashamed and angry. But Yan Qingwen was the person in power at Yan Corporation. Even his father would not dare rely on seniority in front of her. Even if Mu Rong was angry inside, he did not dare vent it at Yan Qingwen and could only hold it in.

Yan Qingwen continued, “Weren’t you quite good at talking? Online, you said I didn’t know what was good for me. Why aren’t you saying it to my face now?”

Mu Rong’s hands and feet went cold from fright. He stammered, “I… I didn’t. Su Jinyue was spreading rumors and slandering me!”

“Whether it was slander or not, everyone knows in their hearts. I am already married. I do not want any gossip spreading online and affecting my relationship with Ah Bai. Otherwise, I will take legal action to protect my reputation.”

Mu Rong understood that she was warning him to delete the online post. Otherwise, if she personally handled it, it would not be as simple as a warning.

Jiang Yunhan watched from the side and did not dare speak. He could only mutter inwardly:

【What’s going on with Yan Qingwen, the first female lead? Her aura is so strong today. Oh, she must be standing up for the Dragon King male lead!】

Yan Qingwen had originally not intended to pay attention to him. However, whether it was what had happened to her yesterday or what had happened to Wen Hebai and Su Jinyue today, he seemed to have been present both times. It was difficult for her not to think of the force behind him.

Before she could find out who the female leads he spoke of were, as well as the true purpose of that force, it was not suitable to make her relationship with him too stiff.

So she found a topic. “I heard from Xiaoyue that you sent Ah Bai to the hospital. Thank you.”

Jiang Yunhan was overwhelmed by the favor. “It’s what I should do.”

Immediately afterward, he felt as if thorns were pricking his back.

【The Dragon King male lead probably wants to tear me apart right now!】

At that moment, the [Comments Section] panel appeared again.

[What are you afraid of? Female Lead No. 1 already finds the Dragon King unpleasant. If the Dragon King dares tear you apart, Female Lead No. 1 will dare tear him apart first!]

[Female Lead No. 2 Su Jinyue is still more appealing. She’s a little chili pepper, after all.]

[The person upstairs has really heavy tastes!]

[So what if it’s heavy? At least Female Lead No. 2 has never been married. Female Lead No. 1 is already married. Even if she hasn’t done anything with anyone, if she marries the male lead again, she’ll still be second-hand goods. Not worth much, okay!]

[Everyone curses Cao the Thief, yet everyone wants to be Cao the Thief!]

Yan Qingwen’s expression darkened.
