Su Jing stood firmly in front of Liu Siyue, blocking her without any hesitation, and bluntly told Huang Chunlian:
“Mind your own business and stay out of my family’s affairs.”
Huang Chunlian didn’t get angry at all. Instead, she looked at Liu Siyue as if there was an unspoken meaning behind her words:
“Siyue, Auntie truly likes you and honestly doesn’t look down on you, I just…”
The moment the word “look down” came out, Liu Siyue’s hands immediately started trembling. Chen Hui noticed and quickly took Liu Siyue away.
Su Jing glared fiercely at Huang Chunlian:
“What do you mean by that?”
But Huang Chunlian remained calm and continued casually:
“Sister-in-law, don’t be so nervous. I genuinely like Siyue, purely out of affection. I just want to get even closer.”
“Dream on.”
Su Jing left her with only one sentence:
“No one is allowed to set their sights on my daughter, especially not you.”
After Su Jing walked away, Chen Siming came out of the fitting room:
“Mom, what do you mean by that?”
Su Jing poked his head lightly:
“You’re really clueless. I suddenly thought that threatening Liu Renzhi with those photos might get us some money, but it would only be a one-time deal.
“Besides, Liu Renzhi might hold a grudge against me or even target you in the future. Son, that’s just not worth it.
“I’m thinking it’s better to have Liu Siyue marry you. Liu Renzhi treats her so well; if you marry her, it’s like marrying the whole Liu family.
“Think it over carefully. Won’t that be more beneficial in the long run?”
Chen Siming thought seriously, but after some consideration, he still refused:
“Mom, Siyue’s not bad looking, but she’s been used and thrown around. I’ve seen those photos — she’s nothing but a complete mess.
“You want me to marry her? No way, I’d regret it.”
Huang Chunlian poked him again:
“Are you stupid? Have you lost your mind?
“Marrying her is just for the money. Once you have the money, what kind of woman can’t you get?
“You could keep ten or eight mistresses outside, and she wouldn’t be able to do anything to you. Besides, having something on her means you can control her better, got it?
“Listen to me and let me handle the arrangements.”
Chen Siming nodded. He wasn’t opposed to Liu Siyue.
At least she was decent-looking, and with money, even better.
He could have one at home and countless others outside.
Just thinking about that life made him happy.
While they were scheming, Liu Siyue had already gotten into the car.
Her heart was uneasy. What did Huang Chunlian’s words mean?
What did she mean by not looking down on her?
Could it be that they knew something?
Chen Hui was worried about her and comforted Liu Siyue:
“Yueyue, don’t overthink it. Maybe she was just saying that.”
Su Jing also said:
“Yes, Huihui is right, Yueyue. She won’t find out. Don’t worry.
“Your eldest brother has blocked all the news; no one will know.”
Liu Siyue knew Liu Renzhi’s capabilities, but she still felt uneasy.
She was afraid of the strange looks from others. After all, this wasn’t something honorable, even if she was the victim and innocent.
It was never a good thing.
Liu Renzhi had been at the hospital for several days, staying with Lin Wanyi and Li Suhua. Su Jing couldn’t reach him, so she went to the company to find him.
“Ren Zhi, what Huang Chunlian said today unsettled me. Do you think she really knows something?”
Liu Renzhi was worried deep down as well.
Huang Chunlian would never say those things without a reason—she definitely had an agenda.
But he didn’t say anything out loud. Instead, he comforted Su Jing:
“Mom, don’t worry. Leave all this to me. I’ll find someone to investigate.”
“All right.”
Su Jing felt a bit dazed. Liu Renzhi handed her a cup of tea:
“Mom, don’t worry. I won’t let Yueyue suffer any more harm. No matter who dares to hurt her, I will never let it slide.
“That includes Ms. Huang.”
He spoke with firm resolve, and Su Jing believed him without question.
She was just afraid—afraid that the wounds Liu Siyue had barely healed would be torn open again.
She couldn’t bear it, and neither could Siyue.
“Yueyue has finally gotten better. She’s even decided to go back to school. Renzhi, I really don’t want anything else to happen.”
After Su Jing left, Liu Renzhi immediately called in Assistant Chen:
“Didn’t you say last time that Zhou Chenyu has been spending a lot of time with Huang Chunlian recently?”
Assistant Chen replied promptly:
“Yes, but these past few days, she’s been spending even more time with Chen Siming, especially at night. President Liu, they’re probably in that kind of relationship now.”
Liu Renzhi’s fingers slowly clenched into a fist.
“Keep a close eye on them. If there’s any movement, report to me immediately.”
Assistant Chen had only been gone for two minutes before rushing back in, looking flustered:
“President Liu, you need to check the trending searches right now—I just saw your fiancée.”
“Wanyi?”
Liu Renzhi quickly unlocked his phone:
“How did she end up on the trending list?”
The next second, he saw the headline: [A High-Level Mistress Who Divorced and Raises a Child.]
Below the headline was a video showing Lin Wanyi being harshly scolded by Zhou Chenyu in a hospital.
The comments had already reached tens of thousands, all condemning Lin Wanyi:
“Oh my god, divorced women are really bold—if they like a man, they just jump into bed with him. Which man could possibly stand that?”
“Exactly. Years of marriage have given her the experience; she definitely knows better how to please a man than us naïve young girls.”
“So compared to this mature mistress, we’re just amateurs. What do we do? Sisters, how do you deal with a high-level mistress like this?”
Many comments sympathized with Zhou Chenyu:
“Damn, look what the childhood sweetheart has been driven to. She’s even on the verge of suicide. These divorced older women are shameless.”
“Right? If the man liked a young and innocent girl, fine, but why lose to a divorced woman with a kid? I’m so mad, really mad. Feeling so wronged for the original wife.”
The internet was full of all kinds of opinions, but without exception, everyone was bashing Lin Wanyi.
Soon, someone dug up even more information about Lin Wanyi:
“Latest news: this woman has an eight-year-old daughter. Do you think she brings her kid along when she’s ‘climbing into bed’?”
“Tsk tsk, definitely. Otherwise, why would a wealthy man be interested in her, an old and worn-out woman? It’s a buy-one-get-one deal.”
“No wonder the original wife loses—things have gotten out of hand. What kind of world is this?”
The comments kept pouring in. Liu Renzhi was so angry he threw his phone down:
“Find out who posted that video.
“And get that trending topic taken down immediately—right now!”
Assistant Chen rushed out quickly.
A minute later, Liu Renzhi saw another trending topic.
This time, it was Wang Hao’s explosive revelation.
He swore up and down, pointing fingers everywhere, claiming that Lin Wanyi had cheated before her divorce was finalized.
But the entire trending topic didn’t mention Liu Renzhi’s name even once.
He knew this was aimed at Lin Wanyi.
Those people still feared him, so they only targeted Lin Wanyi.
He immediately headed to the hospital, worried about Lin Wanyi.
But when he arrived, he found that Lin Wanyi hadn’t even looked at her phone.
She was holding her laptop, busy writing a script, and keeping an eye on Li Suhua’s condition.
A weight lifted from his heart. The trending topic was already being taken down, and it was better if Lin Wanyi didn’t see it.
It would only cause unnecessary trouble.
Seeing him, Lin Wanyi looked a bit surprised:
“You shouldn’t be at work at this hour. Why are you here now? Did something happen? You look out of breath.”
