Was It an Accident

Warming was puzzled and had doubts. She silently drank her pig liver porridge and vegetables, still feeling uneasy about what happened earlier. Perhaps she had been overly suspicious; it could have just been an accident.

The car might have lost control momentarily and wasn’t necessarily someone trying to harm her. If she continued thinking like that, she would develop paranoid thoughts.

"Chunmiao, thank you for earlier," Warming smiled as she said this; if it weren't for Gao Chunmiao, perhaps she'd be lying in the hospital today.

“Why are you being so polite It’s just a small matter.” Gao Chunmiao waved her hand cheerfully. The group happily enjoyed their dinner while Gao Chunmiao, who was obsessed with her phone, played on it and chatted at the same time. Tang Mandong asked the boss to bring up three bottles of cold beer. Eating snacks and drinking beer was the most relaxed way to spend an evening. Warming smiled and said, "I'm going to stay with you two for a month; Xiaojing will probably send me to a weight loss center."

“If you gain weight, just lose it again—no big deal,” Tang Mandong replied smilingly. Suddenly Gao Chunmiao let out an ‘eh’ sound and tapped on her phone for a while before looking up at Warming and saying, "Warming, the scene from earlier has gone viral online."

Both Warming and Tang Mandong took out their phones to check; some netizen had uploaded photos onto a major portal website with the headline: 'Popular actress Warming fights with a group of hoodlums at an outdoor eatery.'

The title was shocking, and the photo was clear. The scene looked chaotic, as though it were taken from afar. In the picture, Tang Mandong was in the midst of fighting while Warming and Gao Chunmiao were clapping their hands and cheering her on—definitely giving off an impression that they were involved.

While reading the news, Tang Mandong said unhappily, "These paparazzi are too efficient; it only took them half an hour to post this. They’re too quick for comfort. Warming, I’m sorry—I think I’ve caused you some trouble."

"It shouldn't be a big deal." Warm smiled slightly. Below were many subheadings, such as "Innocent Beauty Transforms into a Teen Rebel" and "The True Face of Warm," all slanderous remarks that she was accustomed to and didn't find particularly unusual.

High Chunmiao said, "We should have considered the image impact on Warm. We forgot that she is a public figure. While we were having fun fighting, it ended up harming her reputation."

Their friendship had never acknowledged Warm's identity as a celebrity or a public figure; they still treated each other just like before—laughing together when happy and venting frustrations together when upset. That was how friends should be, regardless of others' perceptions online. In the past, if such a situation occurred, they would have fought back anyway, following their principle of dealing with violence through counter-violence.

"Wow, those people are speaking too harshly," High Chunmiao said indignantly. She also posted another article on the portal website, pointing out that these hoodlums' car hit Warm and demanded one million yuan in compensation from her and Tang Mandong, which led to their fight as a form of counter-violence.

"One million That's a bit exaggerated," Warm chuckled.

High Chunmiao shrugged off-handedly. "Netizens are gullible; they believe everything others say. It’s easy to manipulate them. Don't worry."

Tang Mandong: ""

Warm: ""

Indeed, as soon as the post was published, netizens who had previously criticized Warm for pretending and not being a pure beauty all suddenly turned supportive of Tang Mandong's fight against those hoodlums. They agreed that dealing with such scoundrels required counter-violence.

In particular, Warm’s fans were concerned about whether she was injured and how serious it might be, while angrily denouncing the group of hoodlums, vowing to hunt them down and ruin their reputation.

Warm smiled warmly and said, "These people are really exceptional. They were just cursing me happily a moment ago but have suddenly changed their attitude. It's unbelievable. Do they have nothing else to do all day except curse"

"One floats in the江湖 (underworld), one finds the extraordinary everywhere; you'll get used to it," Tang Mandong said, and then she posted a Weibo as Tang Mandong, clarifying today's incident for Lin Ning and Chen Xueru among others.

"Forget about it. Once we finish eating, let's leave," Warm said. She asked the boss to pack one serving of pork liver porridge and stir-fried bamboo shoots. Gao Chunmiao was surprised: "You didn't eat enough Why take out"

Warm smiled and said, "Feimu went drinking with those men. I guess he won't have eaten much, so I'm bringing him some snacks. The pork liver porridge here is very tasty and nutritious, while the bamboo shoots are crispy, refreshing, and appetizing. He'll surely be in the mood."

Tang Mandong and Gao Chunmiao exchanged glances: "Dear, you really are a perfect wife and mother."

Warm: ""

"Warm, to be honest, didn't you two have an argument"

Warm smiled slightly as she looked down: "No argument. It's just that I seem to have become greedy."

She tilted her head toward Tang Mandong and Gao Chunmiao, shrugged her shoulders, but the two women were clueless about what she was talking about.

The trio left the food stall, and Warm’s phone immediately rang. Ye Feimo sounded anxious: "Where are you"

"Just about to head back with Man Dong."

"Come back quickly," Ye Feimo said. "I saw the news online, are you alright"

"I'm fine." Tan Warming replied. It was just that her arm hurt from bumping into something, but nothing else had happened. Ye Feimo kept reminding her to come back fast. When she hung up the phone, Gao Chunmiao said, "Your husband must have known."

Tan Warming nodded. Tang Mandong drove them first to the Imperial City Apartment building. She saw Ye Feimo waiting for her as soon as they got to the entrance of the apartment building. Tang Mandong and Gao Chunmiao greeted each other, then helped carry Tan Warming's haul from today.

Ye Feimo raised an eyebrow in puzzlement and looked at Tan Warming questioningly. She spoke solemnly, "I am helping you squander money."

The two of them couldn't possibly carry it all upstairs by themselves; Tang Mandong and Gao Chunmiao also helped bring the items up to their floor. It was getting too late, so after a short while, Gao Chunmiao and Tang Mandong left.

The living room was piled up like a small mountain. Ye Feimo casually looked at what she had bought today and raised an eyebrow in slight suspicion. He suddenly noticed that her clothes were somewhat dirty, and hurriedly lifted her wrist to see a patch of bruising on the underside of her elbow.

"I'm fine," Tan Warming said with a smile, "just need some hot water and ointment, and I'll be okay."

Ye Feimo's eyebrows shot up in suspicion. "What exactly happened"

Tan Warming recounted the events to him. Ye Feimo’s eyes flashed dangerously as he thought of the car rolling backwards off the mountain—someone must have done it, because if the car had been parked properly, it would never roll down on its own.

He had always felt at ease when she and Tang Mandong went out together. Since Tang Mandong had a background in martial arts, he could handle any troublemakers or ruffians alone. Gao Chunmiao was also quite capable, so they were usually safe going out. This kind of accident had never happened before. a restaurant, after which Gu Babao accompanied her for a walk in the hotel's garden. She could tell that Avril was not in a good mood; there was an unresolved worry etched on her face. They had been...
