Damn it!
Di Mingjue released his grip and roughly pushed Jiang Ziyu away.
Who was she? What magic did she possess that she could so easily pique his interest?
Seizing her freedom, Jiang Ziyu dared not linger. She quickly removed the silver needles from Di Mingjue's scalp and fled.
"Phew~"
That was close! Any slower and she would have become Di Mingjue's plaything.
Jiang Ziyu looked back at the closed door, her heart still pounding as she patted her heaving chest.
...
Late at night, a headline declaring "Young Mistress of the Di Family Assaults and Seriously Injures a Child, Leading to ICU Admission" appeared on major media platforms.
After a night of fermentation, the news exploded across the internet, capturing nationwide attention.
In an instant, Di family company stocks plummeted, countless partners withdrew their collaborations, and the Di family was burdened with billions in massive breach of contract penalties!
In the living room, Zhao Yanxia was gloating over Jiang Ziyu's cyberbullying, completely oblivious to the great trouble the Di family was in, and the impending disaster that would befall her!
Zhao Yanxia gleefully scrolled through her iPad, looking at Wu Xuerou beside her. "Isn't this interesting? Second sister-in-law, what do you think?"
Wu Xuerou remained silent, her head bowed, appearing timid.
Currently, videos of Jiang Ziyu savagely beating a child were being frantically shared online. In the videos, she was not obscured by any protective covering, her fierce expression maliciously magnified.
Someone posted Jiang Ziyu's personal information online. Keyboard warriors, not understanding the situation, went on a frenzied attack against Jiang Ziyu. All sorts of vulgar and malicious words met her eyes.
With every curse directed at Jiang Ziyu she saw, Zhao Yanxia's smile grew more rampant.
Curse! Curse her to death! It would be best if this cyberbullying could drive Jiang Ziyu out of the Di family!
Zhao Yanxia even felt it wasn't enough, spending hundreds of thousands to hire online trolls to escalate the attack and harm Jiang Ziyu.
Just then, Jiang Ziyu came downstairs, holding Qianqian's hand.
Zhao Yanxia's eyes were filled with mockery as she said, "Our Qianqian is truly pitiful. She was born without a mother, and now that she finally has a stepmother, she's a cruel and venomous woman. How difficult her future days will be!"
Jiang Ziyu ignored Zhao Yanxia, not expecting her to block her path directly.
Jiang Ziyu frowned. "Hearing dogs bark first thing in the morning is truly unlucky."
A dog? She was calling her a dog?
Zhao Yanxia flapped her arms, shouting vulgarly, "I don't know who's unlucky. As soon as she entered the Di family, she caused trouble. Making the entire capital laugh at our Di family."
Laugh?
Jiang Ziyu noticed the iPad in Wu Xuerou's hand and, hearing a familiar voice, walked over in a few strides and snatched it.
At that moment, a commotion arose from outside the door.
Wu Xuerou looked up towards the window, only to see a dense crowd of reporters and paparazzi outside the door, their long lenses and cameras pointed at the Di family.
"Your good days are numbered. Just wait to be kicked out of the Di family!" Zhao Yanxia said with excitement.
As soon as she finished speaking, Di Dongsheng entered the living room with a dark expression.
"Dongsheng." Zhao Yanxia swayed charmingly as she approached him.
With a sidestep, Di Dongsheng brushed past her.
"Cousin-in-law, are you aware of what's happening online?"
The iPad in her hand was still replaying the video, and Jiang Ziyu nodded.
"Yesterday, I thought you merely had a verbal spat with Madam Song. I didn't expect you to actually assault a seven-year-old child. Do you know your actions have severely impacted the group!"
Without inquiring further, Di Dongsheng took this opportunity to loudly berate Jiang Ziyu.
"The reporters are outside the door. You will go out now and apologize to the Song family!"
Apologize?
Heh, the Song family is not worthy!
Just as Jiang Ziyu was about to retort, Di Mingjue suddenly appeared before her.
"Why should she apologize?"
"Because Cousin-in-law's actions have severely affected the company's reputation. Stocks have fallen, new projects have been forced to a halt, and cooperating companies have stated they will not partner with us," Di Dongsheng accused.
"So what?" Di Mingjue asked dismissively.
He was protecting her?
Jiang Ziyu couldn't believe it.
Di Dongsheng's expression shifted from green to white to black. His sharp and insidious gaze fell upon Jiang Ziyu. "I built this company with my own hands; it contains my blood and sweat. Now, because of Cousin-in-law's personal issues, the company is facing unnecessary trouble. Regardless, she must personally face the reporters and publicly apologize to the Song family!!"
