Brother Complex: The Young Girl at Home Feels Wronged

Seeing Ji Chuxing, Director Yan was also quite surprised: "Ji, what... what's going on here?"

Ji Chuxing shrugged and tilted her chin toward the nearby surveillance camera. "You can check the footage."

With that, she resumed her drowsy demeanor, hands stuffed into her pockets, and ambled back to Class 16.

Just as Director Yan was about to turn and find Wu Hao, who had stolen the school's large camera, Zhao Feifei hooked her arm around his. "Director, forget the footage. Come on, I've got a hilarious video for you to watch."

As Director Yan watched the video, his face flushed red with anger. These students were completely out of control!

The incident at Nan High seemed to be dying down, but thanks to intentional hype and live broadcasts by entertainment reporters, it still caused a massive stir on social media.

Tang Chuxin, of course, hadn't paid much attention to the situation until her agent called her.

"I told you to keep your fans in check after returning to school. Now this has blown up, and it's terrible for your image. Your reputation is ruined, and people are mocking you online. Stop looking at your phone—I'll handle this!"

After hanging up, Tang Chuxin was momentarily stunned before quickly grabbing her phone. The trending topics on Weibo, such as "Tang Chuxin's Fans Causing Trouble" and "Tang Chuxin's Fans Lack Manners," had already overshadowed "Tang Chuxin Returns to School for Exams" and "Tang Chuxin Cares for Her Fans."

The juxtaposition of these hashtags carried a biting sarcasm.

But she soon pieced together the full story and seethed with rage. What a bunch of fools! They had to ruin everything, even broadcasting it live. It didn't need to escalate like this!

Tang Chuxin's face paled with fury. However, her classmates misinterpreted her expression, thinking she was upset. They gathered around to console her, hoping to get autographs from celebrities through her connections.

"Chuxin, don't be sad. This isn't your fault."

"Exactly. If anyone's to blame, it's Ji Chuxing. If she could block the basketball, why didn't she just catch it? Then none of this would've happened."

"Right. If she hadn't made such a fuss, it wouldn't have gotten this bad."

"Don't be upset. Everyone knows this isn't your fault. The ones who caused trouble are to blame."

Their words helped Tang Chuxin feel slightly better. "Thank you, but I do bear some responsibility. I didn't mean to hog so many public resources, and I should've controlled my fans better."

"Next time I go out, I'll definitely get you all autographs from Emperor Yu. Sorry, it's been too rushed this time."

Hearing this, the others felt even more sympathetic toward her—and more resentful of Ji Chuxing.

"Wow, Chuxin, are you that close to Emperor Yu?"

"Lucky! He must be really handsome up close, right?"

"Not bad," Tang Chuxin smiled faintly. "But… Ji Chuxing? That name sounds familiar. Who is she?" she asked.

"You forgot? You've been filming outside for half a year. She transferred to Nan High six months ago and was always at the bottom of Qihang Class. Recently, she moved to Class 16."

Tang Chuxin thought for a moment and remembered. "Oh, isn't she Xinyue's sister?"

Speak of the devil, Wen Xinyue walked in, having heard about the online incident. The Wen and Tang families were old friends, and Wen Huaming intended to arrange a marriage between his second son, Wen Liming, and Tang Chuxin—an internal decision not yet made public, as both were in the entertainment industry and shared common interests.

Wen Xinyue and Tang Chuxin were well aware of this and maintained a good relationship.

"Chuxin, I apologize on behalf of my sister," Wen Xinyue said sincerely.

Tang Chuxin waved it off gracefully. "Xinyue, it's been a while. You're talking about Ji Chuxing, right? It's fine. She's your sister, and I won't blame her. Besides, I'm partly responsible, so there's no need for you to apologize."

"Oh, I brought you a gift. Come and see."

True to her agent's promise, Tang Chuxin quickly posted an apology on her Weibo:

"I'm very sorry for the recent incident. I did occupy public resources, and I failed to control my fans properly. I sincerely apologize for the improper use of the school's public spaces and facilities. I urge everyone not to follow my example. I promise to cover the cleaning and repair costs."

As soon as the post went up, her fans—especially the influential ones—rushed to defend her.

"Please don't hold the idol accountable for fan behavior. This was due to poor self-regulation among the Xin Fans, and some weren't real fans. Xin Xin will always be the best girl."

"Yes, this incident has nothing to do with Xin Xin. The pickup and welcome activities were individual fan actions. Blame me, not our Xin Xin."

"We, the Xin Fans, will fundraise to cover the repair and cleaning costs. We take responsibility for our actions."

...

There were countless similar comments.

Zhao Feifei, reading these comments in class, couldn't help but laugh bitterly.

"They think they can just brush this off? This isn't over."

"What do you mean, you'll take responsibility? Donate with your own money, not your parents'!"

"Who is Tang Chuxin? I know her. Who should be apologizing, really?"

Wu Hao, still scrolling through his phone, suddenly burst out laughing. "Hey, Feifei, there's a twist. Look!"

Zhao Feifei refreshed her Weibo immediately.

Nothing major—except that within five minutes of Tang Chuxin's apology, top actor Wei Shi commented below.

"Apologize to whom? Is Ji, who was harassed and doxxed, not worth mentioning? Is the insulted janitor not worth mentioning? A few thousand dollars in compensation is trivial. Who in the entertainment industry can't afford it? The school janitors have already cleaned once. Whoever dirtied the floor should clean it. And how are you taking responsibility, using your parents' money for your idol?"

Wei Shi was like a national heartthrob, commanding immense influence in the entertainment industry. He rarely posted anything unrelated to his work, but recently, he'd been sharing posts about a little girl and engaging with fans.

Unexpectedly, he got involved in this.

His comment instantly topped the thread, and the hashtag became the number one trend. Even more, many industry stars liked his comment.

Tang Chuxin was thoroughly discredited before she could recover, and she had just promised to get Emperor Yu's autograph.

She made it sound like she was close to him, which was a complete slap in the face.

The way people looked at Tang Chuxin changed.

"How can you still get the Emperor's autograph after this?"

"Finally, some real talk. I said it from the start; this apology lacks sincerity. Apologize to Ji, who was doxxed, and the janitor who was unfairly criticized."

"No manners is no manners. Don't say these aren't your real fans, and don't use the 'underage' excuse."

"Exactly. If you're sincere, go clean the floors yourselves. Sorry, the janitors start work before dawn and need their rest too."

...

But more people were focused on Wei Shi's involvement.

"Emperor Wei, blink if your account was hacked."

"Why is Emperor Wei getting involved in this?"

Wei Shi quickly posted another tweet: "My little girl was wronged, and I'm just speaking up for her."

Everyone understood.

Recently, it was revealed that Emperor Wei had a well-protected little sister, whose existence he had accidentally hinted at a few days ago.

He had posted eighty tweets in a few days, all about his sister, and even discussed teenage girls' preferences with his fans.

His fans immediately caught on.

"Aww, I knew it. Everything unusual about Emperor Wei is because of his little sister."

"I'm crying. To be Emperor Wei's little sister, you must have saved the universe in your past life!"

"Emperor Wei is a total sister-complex, but it's clear his sister has strong principles. She was upset by Tang Chuxin, and now he's stepping in."

"Emperor Wei is awesome! His sister is awesome!"

"His sister has strong principles! She's awesome!"

Comments flooded in: "Sister, don't be wronged. Xin Fans, apologize properly!"

When the Weibo refreshed again, the phrase "Sister, don't be wronged" became a new trending topic.

Zhao Feifei was thoroughly entertained by the drama online. "This is what a true national sister looks like. Tang Chuxin is nothing. Self-promoting and self-flattering—it's disgusting. But who is this little sister? She's so lucky!"

Zhou Sixue, also envious, held her phone, starry-eyed. "The little sister is so lucky. I'll never meet the Emperor in my life!"

Ji Chuxing: "..."

She glanced at her phone under the desk. There was a new message.

"Sis, don't be afraid. Your third brother, Wei Shi, will stand up for you. No one will bully you."
