Shen Qingqing had remained indifferent when she saw people insulting her, even sporting a smile on her face. However, when the flames of war turned towards her husband, she could no longer remain calm.
"I think these people are asking for death."
King paused slightly, then looked at Fu Jingshu, saying with a mix of envy and jealousy, "You've really married a good wife, one who protects you wholeheartedly!"
Fu Jingshu's lips curved upwards slightly: "My wife is naturally good to me."
Otherwise, who else would she be good to?
King heard the implied meaning and widened his eyes slightly, too annoyed to speak. "You truly have a big heart. What time is it now, and you're still here showing off to me? Look at those comments, you're practically getting torn to shreds!"
Fu Jingshu frowned slightly: "Crude."
King was amused to the point of anger. "Are you sure your brain is functioning normally? What time is it, and you're still thinking about vulgarity?"
Fu Jingshu said nothing, only looking at Shen Qingqing.
The gaze was so tender it sent shivers down one's spine, and King couldn't help but rub his arms.
Just then, Shen Jinxi suddenly slammed the table. "This is too much!"
Startled, King then found his godson's indignant demeanor incredibly cute. He sat down beside him and looked at the screen.
As he looked, he too felt speechless.
Someone had posted a medical record online, claiming Ning Su suffered from manic depression.
As soon as this document appeared, the comments instantly shifted.
【If she has manic depression, then her mishap at the banquet can be understood, right?】
【Can't we be a little more tolerant towards a mentally ill person?】
People chattered, their words growing more outlandish by the second.
Shen Jinxi was so angry he kept banging the table. "How can these people say such things? They don't even know what truly happened, yet they're blindly chiming in!"
Chen Chen was also very angry, muttering, "I thought she genuinely wanted to apologize."
King glanced at him, finding the child genuinely too naive. "With that woman's personality, how could she possibly offer a sincere apology?"
He looked at Shen Qingqing. "What do you plan to do?"
Shen Qingqing calmly replied, "I knew she wouldn't be so honest. Asking her to apologize is practically like asking her to die, especially when the person she has to apologize to is me."
How could Ning Su be willing to do that?
Chen Chen, concerned for his father and mother, took out his phone and dialed Zhao Yixin's number, only to have his mother hang up the call the next second.
"Mommy?"
"Are you trying to get him to help clarify things?"
Chen Chen nodded. "As long as he steps forward and exposes that wicked woman's true face, there won't be so many people on the internet cursing you and Daddy."
Shen Qingqing, however, shook her head. "He cannot come forward."
"Why?"
Shen Qingqing said earnestly, "Silly child, right now, your father and I are in the public eye. Anyone who speaks up for us at this moment will also be implicated. Do you want your good friend to be cursed by everyone?"
Chen Chen certainly didn't want that. "Then, is there any other way?"
"Don't worry, Mommy has a way to resolve this," Shen Qingqing ruffled his hair. "You just wait and see how your mommy turns the tide."
Chen Chen trusted his mother one hundred percent. He put down his phone and looked at her seriously and obediently. "I'll wait and see."
Seeing his adorable appearance, Shen Qingqing felt a piece of her heart soften. Unable to resist, she hugged him and kissed him.
Chen Chen blushed, feeling a little shy.
Fu Jingshu said, "The Ning sisters know you have this concern, which is why they dare to be so brazen."
This was different from that day at the banquet. Those attending the banquet were all influential figures in high society. They all understood that things that happened at such events were to be treated as if they never occurred the next day, and gossip was strictly forbidden.
Otherwise, it would be tantamount to a public declaration of war with the involved parties.
Therefore, having Zhao Yixin step forward would only be a minor admission of fault, causing no impact on the child. But once it was posted online, the child would inevitably bear the brunt of the public's malice.
This would be of no benefit to the child.
Soon, the livestream ended. As it concluded, the online discussion surrounding the incident escalated to an incredibly heated level.
More and more onlookers began to pay attention to the matter.
Shen Qingqing even received a call from Ning Su, who apologized very sincerely on the phone.
However, after looking at the posts and comments online, Shen Qingqing felt no sincerity from her at all.
Ning Su continued, "I've completed the livestream as you requested, and I've even called you to apologize. I hope that from now on, you will no longer pursue this matter. Please forgive me."
Shen Qingqing, furious, let out a laugh. "Are you trying to fool me into thinking I'm an idiot?"
"Why would you say that? I never meant that!" Ning Su's tone was very innocent. "I am sincerely apologizing. I truly regret what I did last time. Please, you must forgive me."
Shen Qingqing listened to the overly theatrical voice on the phone and said coldly, "Ning Su, you'd better clarify the false information online right now and apologize honestly to me, or I will make your reputation notorious and leave you utterly disgraced."
"Are you threatening me?" Ning Su gripped the phone, her eyes gleaming with excitement. "You said yourself that as long as I apologized, you would forgive me. Why are you going back on your word now?"
"What kind of apology is this? Are you trying to fool me?" Shen Qingqing said coldly. "You're the one who released those posts online, aren't you?"
Ning Su immediately replied, "No, it wasn't me. I don't know anything about any posts. I was on livestream the entire time, as I believe you saw. How could I have had the time to create any messy posts?"
Shen Qingqing watched her act. "I'm warning you again, Ning Su. Either you retract all your manipulative tactics now and apologize to me properly, or I will see this through to the end."
"I don't understand what you're saying."
Shen Qingqing sneered. "Fine, then this is the end of it. I don't want to waste any more time with you. We'll see."
With that, she hung up the phone.
King let out a snort, took the phone from her hand, and tossed it aside. "You're so patient, why did you say so much to her? Since she's already thrown down the gauntlet, let's go to war!"
A cold glint flashed in Shen Qingqing's eyes. "That's right. This time, I must make her understand what it means to be afraid."
"This woman is a typical case of 'not shedding tears until she sees the coffin.' If you don't scare her thoroughly in one go, she'll try to rise again at the slightest opportunity."
King had seen through Ning Su.
This woman was like an annoying, unkillable cockroach; she had to be dealt a decisive blow!
Shen Qingqing deeply agreed.
Just then, another recording was leaked online.
Chen Chen was the first to see it. He instinctively clicked to play.
What came out was Shen Qingqing's voice!
