After hanging up the phone, Cheng Songyang did not look at Cheng Liu on the ground. He put on his coat and went out. Then, he opened the door and left. The cold winter wind blew in through the gap in the door. Cheng Liu was lying on the ground, her hands hugging her knees and shivering. After a while, she finally cried, “Boohoo… mom… mom…”
On the other side, Shen Sisi had an angry look. She swept everything in front of her onto the ground and cursed angrily, “B*tch! B*tch! Shen Hanxing, that b*tch!”
“Calm down. It’s not worth it to be angry and ruin your body because of that b*tch Shen Hanxing,” Qiao Wei comforted Shen Sisi feeling sorry for her, “it’s alright. Later, we’ll issue a statement saying that we don’t know anything about the inside story of the Cheng Foundation. We don’t know that their resources are so poor. It’s alright. The problem is that the Cheng Foundation came up with it. It has nothing to do with us.”
Qiao Wei looked angry as she said, “If it weren’t for the Cheng Foundation, we would not have ended so badly this time. They used the bad stuff to enrich their pockets and even implicated Sisi’s reputation. In a while, call Zhuang Li and ask him to seek an explanation from Cheng Songyang!”
“Enough!” Shen Yong interrupted Qiao Wei. “Do you think everyone is a fool?”
It would have been fine if they had deceived Shen Sisi into going to the mountains to donate to the poor. However, they had bribed many news outlets to praise Shen Sisi to make her famous. They wrote she had stayed with the children in the mountains for a few days. She had personally distributed the supplies to every child.
If she had not discovered something wrong with the supplies, how stupid would Shen Sisi be?
“Then what do you think we should do?” Qiao Wei’s didn’t look good. Her well-maintained face looked worried. “It’s all your fault. Sisi wouldn’t have to face this if you didn’t ask her to go? She didn’t get her reputation. Instead, someone stained her image. Now you are blaming me for worrying. Poor Sisi, she is innocent.”
After all, the Zhuang Corporation was one of the three magnates in s city. If she wanted to win Zhuang Li’s heart and successfully marry into the Zhuang family, Shen Sisi would have to manage her relationship. Unfortunately, the news had ruined all of it!
Hearing Qiao Wei’s ignorant words, Shen Yong doubted for the first time whether it was right or wrong for him to marry his mistress. If it were Shen Hanxing’s mother, she would not have said such stupid words.
That thought flashed through Shen Yong’s mind. But he quickly suppressed it. Then, he said sternly, “The most important thing now is to get Zhuang Li to help us. We have to believe what’s in the news is fake. As long as he truly loves Sisi, what does it matter how people in the news media talk about it?”
There were also people with poor character who married into wealthy families. After Shen Sisi married into the Zhuang family, she could work harder to please her husband’s in-laws and flatter Zhuang Li. After giving birth to a boy, her status would be firm.
“I can’t contact Zhuang Li,” Hearing this, Shen Sisi’s eyes turned red. She felt wronged and shed tears. “It’s all your fault for forcing Shen Hanxing to marry Ji Yan. Now Ji Yan’s leg is healed, and Shen Hanxing is better than me. Shen Hanxing is so proud seeing me in such a state…” As Shen Hanxing spoke, she showed her resentment on her face.
Qiao Wei looked at her in disbelief. “Sisi, are you blaming Mom? Ji Yan’s legs were crippled back then. Mom thought of a way to replace you with Shen Hanxing for you. Everyone in S City said that he would stay crippled for the rest of his life. Who would have thought that he would stand up again!” As Qiao Wei spoke, she regretted it. “Mom wants the best for you. I don’t want you to live with a crippled man for the rest of your life.”
When they mentioned Ji Yan, they couldn’t help but think of the rumors online. Ji Yan had given Shen Hanxing the start-up funds, and Shen Hanxing was now living a life of gold and silver. When Shen Sisi thought of this, she was so angry that she gritted her teeth.
“If I had known this would happen, I would have married Ji Yan back then. Then I would be the one who is proud now…” Shen Sisi couldn’t help but mutter and cover her face in pain. If she had accompanied Ji Yan through his worst time, Ji Yan would hold her in his hands and given her the best of everything.

“Since you regret it, then go look for him!” At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the door, gnashing her teeth. Zhuang Li stood at the door with a cold gaze. Shen Sisi and her parents’ faces turned pale.

“Zhuang Li, let me explain. It’s not what you heard. I didn’t mean it that way…” Shen Sisi stood up at a loss.
