CHAPTER 417: CHAPTER 238 DETECTION

Fu Siyu smiled, his eyes sparkling, "I’m already looking forward to it."

Shu Wan unconsciously dodged the smile in Fu Siyu’s eyes, her gaze drifting out the car window to the square’s fountain.

The sunlight scattered, causing a rainbow light to flicker; a breeze brought thousands of water droplets, as beautiful and crystalline as jade grains.

What wonderful weather today, Shu Wan thought.

"The sunshine is really nice."

At that moment, Fu Siyu also spoke up.

Shu Wan turned her head to meet Fu Siyu’s deep gaze, a light smile emerging from beneath his eyes.

Today was unusually fine weather, yet on social media, the storm raged on.

Fu Yang’s accident had lessened in discussion, thanks to the "Heavenly Divine Soldier," Fu Siyu’s help.

But anyone with clear eyes could see that Fu Yang was just a diversion—the ultimate target of this public opinion war was still Shu Wan.

With the issue concerning Fu Yang toned down, there was only one thing left that could drag down Shu Wan’s reputation—the injury incident of the crew member.

Somehow, media reporters had gotten ahold of the photos of Wang Xiao removing the bandages.

By now, Wang Xiao’s wound had begun to form scabs, covering nearly the entire right side of her face with a thick, dark crust.

The scabs weren’t one entire piece but shattered and cracked, revealing the bloody flesh underneath, horrific to the extreme.

Despite the gruesome sight, people instinctively wanted to say something comforting to Wang Xiao, but they were painfully aware that such severe injuries, even if healed, had ruined her face.

["I wonder if Shu Wan, each time she looks in the mirror at her beautiful face, thinks of Wang Xiao’s mangled one."]

["So tragic. I heard it was Shu Wan who didn’t want to negotiate herself, so she sent that girl instead, and the result was a disfigured face."]

["Even if you give me ten million, I wouldn’t accept it. I’ve seen photos of Wang Xiao before the disfigurement, she was truly beautiful and I felt she was set to be a star, what a pity."]

Even though some conscientious netizens reminded the marketing accounts not to disclose patients’ privacy, for the sake of traffic, they continued spreading photos of Wang Xiao’s injuries.

Such a horrifying sight deeply imprinted itself in everyone’s hearts.

When people saw Shu Wan, they would naturally think of those dreadful wounds.

Consequently, several business contracts Shu Wan was discussing were temporarily suspended.

The filming of the movie "Qingcheng" also halted due to location issues; amidst the public condemnation, Shu Wan’s prospects seemed hopeless.

In the entertainment circle, a place of glorifying the high and stepping on the low, there was one attitude towards celebrities in the limelight, and another towards those who weren’t.

Previously, the crew members thought that Shu Wan could provide them with a good working environment and profits, and everyone supported her.

Now, seeing Shu Wan being publicly denounced, they couldn’t wait to distance themselves and even had people coming forward to testify "Shu Wan harmed Wang Xiao" to claim they had nothing to do with Shu Wan.

Wang Tian now knew Shu Wan very well; before Shu Wan could even respond, Wang Tian very consciously stepped up to reply, "Heh, don’t speak too soon."

This response only added fuel to the fire, drawing even fiercer criticism from netizens.

["Birds of a feather flock together; no wonder they can produce an artist like Shu Wan with such a manager."]

["Honestly, you people really lack any semblance of a conscience; looking at that girl who you guys harmed like that, and you can still say such things."]

Shu Wan hadn’t paid attention to the ongoing online tumult during this time.

Because her focus was entirely on Wang Xiao’s medical report.

The day Wang Xiao removed her bandages, Shu Wan was also there, specifically asking the doctor to collect samples of Wang Xiao’s facial tissue.

After testing, Wang Xiao’s wound healing speed was three times the norm.

Shu Wan knew, it was a success.
