Chapter 2157: Chapter 2156: Leave Everything to Me

Early the next morning, Jing Xiaocha woke up early.

It’s not her own home, she’s not quite used to it, especially since it’s Wen Jin’s house. She couldn’t sleep until late.

After washing up, she went downstairs where Aunt Chen was busy in the kitchen.

Upon hearing footsteps, Aunt Chen turned around and, seeing it was Jing Xiaocha, immediately displayed a kind smile, "Xiaocha, why are you up so early? Is it because you’re not used to sleeping here?"

"No, Aunt Chen."

Jing Xiaocha shook her head with a smile and walked into the kitchen, "I slept very well, Aunt Chen. Do you need any help?"

"Your arm hasn’t healed yet, so don’t help. Otherwise, Ah Jin will scold you again. Go rest in the living room; breakfast will be ready in half an hour."

Jing Xiaocha chatted with Aunt Chen in the kitchen for a while. When she came out to the living room, Wen Jin was just coming down from upstairs.

Seeing her, Wen Jin raised his eyebrows slightly and a pleased curve appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Up so early?"

"Brother Wen, you’re up early too."

Jing Xiaocha replied with a bright smile.

Wen Jin smiled, walked over to the sofa, and sat down, picking up the newspaper that was placed on the coffee table.

Jing Xiaocha stood in front of the sofa, watching Wen Jin read the newspaper, and smiled, "Brother Wen, do you want some water? I’ll get you a glass."

"No need for that, sit down and rest for a while."

Wen Jin looked up at her briefly; her arm was injured, yet she was still thinking of getting water for him.

No sooner did he finish speaking, Wen Jin saw something in the content, his handsome eyebrows suddenly furrowed, and the previously gentle expression instantly darkened.

Jing Xiaocha noticed the change in his expression and couldn’t help but feel suspicious, "Brother Wen, what’s wrong?"

Wen Jin lifted his head from the newspaper, meeting her concerned eyes, and pursed his lips, "Xiaocha, come here."

Jing Xiaocha blinked in confusion, yet moved forward a couple of steps and sat beside him.

Wen Jin moved the newspaper closer to her, so they could look at it together.

When Jing Xiaocha clearly saw the contents on the paper, her face changed color instantly. Before she could speak, Wen Jin’s calm and steady voice spoke first, "Don’t go out these days, I will handle these rumors, it will pass in a couple of days."

His voice was peaceful, but careful listening would reveal a tinge of winter coldness in his tone.

"Brother Wen, these aren’t true. It’s definitely Zhang Jinlei saying nonsense to the reporters."

Rising anger filled Jing Xiaocha’s heart; besides Zhang Jinlei, no one else knew about her past.

Wen Jin watched her face turn pale and gently clasped her left hand in his palm, soothing her, "Don’t be upset or angry, don’t let these baseless rumors affect your mood. Only Zhang Jinlei knows about your past, if it was him, I’ll find out."

"Brother Wen, I never did those things..."

"I know."

Wen Jin’s eyes showed a glimpse of pity, increasing the grip on her hand slightly.

"Rumors can never become facts, regardless of who created them, I will ensure they pay the rightful price."

Jing Xiaocha felt a bit better; although the newspaper disgraced her, at least Brother Wen believed her.

"Brother Wen, as long as you believe in me."

She took a deep breath and suddenly saw clarity; she seemed to no longer be angry, "I have done nothing wrong, I will call Zhang Jinlei now and ask why he did this."

As Jing Xiaocha said this, she attempted to pull her hand out of Wen Jin’s grasp.

However, Wen Jin’s grip tightened, and she paused, noticing a light surprise in Wen Jin’s eyes.

"Leave it to me to handle."

Whether Zhang Jinlei leaked information to the press or not, Wen Jin didn’t want Jing Xiaocha to contact him, hearing hurtful words.

Jing Xiaocha pursed her lips.

Wen Jin said gently, "From now on, leave your issues to me."

Her heart warmed, and Jing Xiaocha nodded gently.

She understood that Brother Wen didn’t want her to be hurt, and wanted to keep her sheltered under his wings.

To protect her from harm.

Thinking about what he said last night, that he would try his best to treat her well, she was moved again, "Brother Wen, thank you."

Just as her words fell, Wen Jin’s phone rang.

The caller ID showed Ranran’s name.

Wen Jin’s eyes flashed slightly, guessing Ranran must have seen the newspaper too and was calling him.

Meanwhile, at the Zheng family.

Zheng Shirui saw the content of today’s newspaper and smiled contently.

The smile carried a hint of coldness, "Jing Xiaocha, you wanted to ruin me, now it’s your turn to be ruined."

Zheng Liangzhu and his wife came down from the second floor and saw Zheng Shirui seriously reading the newspaper, a rare sight, and couldn’t help but laugh, "Shirui, why are you up so early today, and so seriously reading the paper?"

"Dad, Mom, I have good news for you."

Zheng Shirui waved the newspaper at Zheng Liangzhu and Mother Zheng coming downstairs.

"What good news?"

Mother Zheng asked, smiling. A few days ago, Jin Zheyu told them that Jing Xiaocha would drop the charges against their daughter, dispersing the cloud over their family.

"You’ll know when you see it."

Zheng Shirui said proudly.

Zheng Liangzhu and Mother Zheng came to the sofa and sat on Zheng Shirui’s left and right. Zheng Liangzhu took the newspaper from Zheng Shirui’s hand, scanning through it quickly, his expression suddenly changing.

"Shirui, what’s going on?"

Zheng Liangzhu sternly looked at Zheng Shirui.

Zheng Shirui sneered indifferently, "That little bitch Jing Xiaocha, she thinks that by not suing me, I will let her go? She’s dreaming."

"You are really foolish."

Zheng Liangzhu scolded loudly.

Since when had this daughter become so stupid, or was she blinded by love, clouded by jealousy?

"How can you talk about our daughter like this? That Jing Xiaocha is nothing but a powerless vixen who knows a few tricks to deceive men, even if our daughter leaked something to the press, it was to make the world see her for what she is."

Mother Zheng said, displeased, defending Zheng Shirui.

Zheng Liangzhu was furious, "Do you think Jing Xiaocha is easy to bully just because she is powerless?"

"A small arm can’t twist the thigh, surely she can’t cause a storm."

Mother Zheng didn’t care.

She believed even if her daughter destroyed Jing Xiaocha, it was Jing Xiaocha getting what she deserved, or rather it was no big deal.

Jing Xiaocha was just an ordinary woman.

Zheng Liangzhu snorted angrily, "It’s your spoiling that turned Shirui into this. Though Jing Xiaocha has no power or influence, the Wen family, Mo family, Gu family behind her, not one of them is easy to deal with."

"They aren’t related to Jing Xiaocha, they won’t really go all out to help her."

Zheng Shirui didn’t believe it either.

In this profit-driven society, without benefit, Mo Xiuchen and Wen Jin couldn’t possibly protect Jing Xiaocha time and time again.

"Do you know Wen Jin has already hired a private investigator to look into you for Jing Xiaocha?"

Upon hearing this, the cold smile and disdain on Zheng Shirui’s face were replaced by shock.
