The familiar post still lingered.[There are always those eager to infiltrate the circle by any means—let's dig into sww's past!]By noon today, this post had amassed over ten million views, with comments piling up to six hundred thousand. The discourse was nothing but a torrent of abuse directed at Su Wanwan, filled with every vile insult imaginable. Anyone who dared to defend her barely showed their face before being mercilessly torn apart, even receiving curses upon their ancestors. Soon, not a single kind word could be found in the entire comment section.
The turning point came with a message posted by someone named "Lanlan's Sky":[Did anyone catch Lenn's final performance in West City? His special guest was Su Wanwan!]As expected, within minutes, thousands flooded her post with replies:"Some people's loyalty is laughable—still trying to whitewash things at this stage.""Sis, can you back up your brag? Lenn is a world-class pianist!""Even though ticket restrictions were loosened for this tour, only the wealthy and influential could get in.""Special guest? Don't be ridiculous! You really think anyone and everyone could get on that stage?""Well... I was at the venue today. The special guest really was Su Wanwan, and Lenn said she's the rare genius he's ever met in his life—he's wanted to take her as a student countless times but never succeeded.""The crowd was terrifyingly intense.""What a daytime dream. Typical fantasies.""Not biased, just telling it straight—check it out @Lenn, stop being keyboard warriors!""Looks legit... that really is sww in the photos!"
Stirred by this, everyone hurried to click through. Indeed, Lenn had uploaded several photos of Su Wanwan onstage, including ones of them together. The comments below instantly turned harmonious:"Hahaha! Is our F unworthy?""Don't even mention it! F is Lenn's only student but not even a shred of attention—got it, got it!"
The throng that rushed in scrutinized the verified badges on avatars, disbelief spreading."Is this for real? No way!""Oh my god... the official account is streaming a replay—anyone interested should check it out."
So, the crowd flocked to the replay. The barrage of live comments unanimously read—"Is this a goddess descended from heaven?""Sorry, goddess, I take back all my previous insults.""I was wrong, goddess, do you accept my apology? If you dared show up in front of me, I'd kowtow thrice right there!"
Suddenly, the tide turned, and a collective defection ensued. Comments were deleted and reposted in frenzy. As everyone endlessly replayed the piano duet of Su Wanwan and Fu Liangmu, Lanlan's Sky quietly stirred the pot:
Lanlan's Sky:"Thinking about it, Su Wanwan never once came forward to apologize. Probably too indifferent to bother with all these messy posts—after all, the innocent have nothing to fear! But I do recall Su Nian claiming Su Wanwan's piano was fake. With her own sister as a witness, who even cares about the truth behind it all..."
These words hit like a splash of cold water, waking everyone up. Indeed! Had Su Nian not personally declared it fake, things would never have escalated so badly! Su Nian's fans immediately rallied to defend her:"Must be a misunderstanding? Nian Nian wouldn't do such a thing.""Yeah, I've watched so many of Nian's live streams and never seen Su Wanwan play piano—maybe she's just unaware."
Ten minutes later, a cleverly recorded audio clip surfaced: Ye Nan confessing to Su Wanwan on the spot, only to be slapped by Su Nian. After listening, everyone concluded:"So... this guy is Su Wanwan's ex? Su Nian the homewrecker? She stole her boyfriend?""Seems like it...""Young folks, gossip feeds the frenzy.""No wonder Su Nian's been smearing her—makes sense now!""How brazen these homewreckers are nowadays!"
Lanlan's Sky watched the flood of comments with satisfaction. Stretching lazily on her bed, tapping her foot happily, she made a call."Wanwan's second brother has nearly settled things.""Good. Some people just love testing my limits."
Xia Kelan rolled over, staring at the ceiling."Normal—talented people always attract envy."The other side snorted coldly."The family head told us to keep Wanwan's identity under wraps, but sometimes, a little reveal is necessary to silence the critics."
Xia Kelan's eyes gleamed."What do you have planned?"
The sound of rapid keyboard clicks came through. Xia Kelan put the phone on speaker, returned to the screen, and refreshed repeatedly. An official post exploded, listing every award and achievement Su Wanwan had ever earned since childhood!
"Excellent work!" Xia Kelan exclaimed excitedly."By the way, second brother, you're the one behind that sww post, right? The one that never got deleted?"
Her counterpart responded suspiciously,"No."
Xia Kelan stroked her chin, puzzled."That's odd. Given how big this scandal is and the reversal of events, it should have been deleted by now...""But leaving it up is good too—it's free promotion for Wanwan."
With the official post out, a noisy crowd swarmed in."At five, I was still playing with mud.""How can someone else's five be so vastly different from mine?""The original poster nailed it—Su Wanwan's talent is such that she didn't need four years to pass piano level 10, since she was already holding solo concerts at five..."
Soon, Su Wanwan's name dominated five trending searches in a row, firmly establishing her as a piano prodigy. The most embarrassed were Su Nian's fans, who used to brag about piano level 10 as their trump card—now utterly crushed in comparison. Most crucially, Su Wanwan never even engaged in this rivalry; to her, it was no more than a pleasant dinner.
Oblivious to the online storm, Su Wanwan occasionally glanced at screenshots of her growing fanbase sent by Xia Kelan and continued eating.
The phone on the man's table buzzed. Fu Liangmu picked it up and saw a report message:"President, we've confirmed the poster is a friend of Su Nian."
Su Wanwan wiped her lips calmly and stood."I'm full. I'm going out for a walk."
Fu Liangmu immediately followed."Together."
The two strolled casually outside the villa, neither speaking. The streets were deserted.
A phone's ring shattered the silence. Fu Liangmu frowned at the caller ID, stepped aside, and answered.
On the other end was an exquisitely pleasant female voice."The one causing all this fuss—is she your new wife?""My birthday is next week. Bring her along."
