Seventeen Again: The Sweet Life with My Family

Chapter 133: Reverse Scale

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

She can tolerate anything, but when it comes to her family, that’s touching her reverse scale.

Wen Nian pursed her lips and gently pressed her parents’ arms down. “Dad, Mom, you cannot stop them. 1 have to resolve this myself.”

Then, she looked at the entertainment reporters from these small newspapers in front of her. Wen Nian regarded them with a hint of mockery and stated, “These individuals are only concerned with popularity and clicks. They won’t cease until they obtain the answer from me.”

These individuals indeed prioritized the popularity of their reports. They displayed no concern for the fact that Wen Nian had peeled back this superficial layer. Furthermore, it was evident that they had received undisclosed payments, highlighting their lack of principled integrity. Their actions were solely motivated by personal gain rather than a commitment to their profession.

Soon, they launched a new round of attacks.

“Wen Nian, as a minor, you made a sudden decision to enter the entertainment industry due to your parents’ guidance, correct? Is it due to family hardships or because your parents are facing financial difficulties and are compelled to sell yourself”

“Wen Nian, I’ve heard that you have an older brother. Will your parents assign the burden of ‘selling your body’ and handling your filming remuneration to your older brother? How do you feel about that?”

“Wen Nian, you’re the only actor in the production team who lacks training and experience in performing. May I inquire how you secured the role of the female lead?”

“Wen Nian…”

“Wen Nian…”

Seven to eight people bombarded Wen Nian simultaneously, thrusting microphones and recording pens in front of her. Each question was laced with malice, designed to misdirect and provoke. They arrogantly passed judgment on Wen Nian’s actions, as if they possessed superior knowledge of the truth. Their attempts to target everyone in the Wen family were evident, casting a shadow over the entire situation.

Wen Nian was well aware that these individuals aimed to provoke her, even going so far as to provoke her into physical aggression to capture it in a photograph. They intended to rely on these images as a means to amplify their ability to craft a narrative through visual evidence.

Wen Nian managed to restrain her anger and spoke up with a raised voice. “I am willing to grant an interview, but 1 have one condition. You must faithfully and fully report every word of my response. Can we agree on that?”

The observers felt a sense of satisfaction as they witnessed Wen Nian’s apparent shift in attitude. They believed that if the readers could perceive Wen Nian’s compliant demeanor during the interview, the resulting photos and reports would possess a greater sense of authenticity.

Reporter Zhou, who was the first to ask a question, made a new request with a seemingly kind expression. “It might not be appropriate for us to block the doorway with so many people. Could we conduct the interview in your living room instead? I’m concerned about inconveniencing your neighbors. You wouldn’t want them to speak ill of you behind your back, would you?”

Wen Nian lowered her gaze momentarily and agreed to the request.

Reporter Zhou concealed the delight in his eyes, gratified by the fact that Wen Nian was still new to the industry. As long as they gained access to the Wen family and showcased Wen Nian’s cooperative demeanor, they knew that their reports would carry even more credibility. They anticipated that many readers, lacking critical thinking skills, would unquestioningly believe whatever they wrote.

Due to the limited size of the Wen family’s house, everyone had to stand in the living room. Wen Nian discreetly pulled her parents to a corner and sent a message on her phone.

Then, she stood alone, facing the row of reporters, and spoke calmly, “I have a flight to catch today, and 1 only have an hour. 1 have noticed that there are eight reporters from eight different newspapers here. Each newspaper will have the opportunity to ask two questions. Let’s begin from the left and proceed to the right.”

Wen Nian’s composed demeanor instantly seized the advantage on her home turf. These reporters had consistently regarded her as an easily manipulated high school student. Now, faced with her evident experience and composure, they were genuinely taken aback.

Once they regained their composure, everyone began to make use of the time to ask their questions. The inquiries focused on the most trending topics on the internet. Wen Nian responded to each question one by one, providing a total of 16 answers. Only after that did the group depart, content with the interview session.

Wen Nian watched as the reporters made their way downstairs and closed the door behind them. Mrs. Wen and her parents wore expressions of concern, their worry evident on their faces.

Zhou Mei approached and gently pulled Wen Nian to sit on the sofa. Concern laced her voice as she asked, “Does this interview help clear up the misunderstanding?”

Wen Nian gazed at her parents. She could sense their concern and she really wanted to tell them her plan. However, to ensure the best possible outcome, she reluctantly shook her head and shared only her analysis. “There must be someone orchestrating this situation. Only a few people are aware of my upcoming film project. It’s astonishing how well they know our family’s circumstances and even provided the reporters with our home address. Let’s wait and see what these reporters publish before taking further action..”
