Shu Yu didn't dare to open her eyes; what was bound to come had finally arrived.
Si Yiheng still didn't plan to let her go. This wasn't going to work—she should just run away.
ATM: Forum Link.
ATM: Take a look at this post.
Shu Yu opened the post made by Gu Yunjing and read it from beginning to end.
The central theme of the entire post was that she was a plain-looking gold digger who had used some unknown tricks to scam Si Yiheng out of his money.
And Si Yiheng, that idiot, actually couldn't even recognize fake internet photos, and was scammed out of a lot of money by a clumsy gold digger like her.
Shu Yu: ...
So, was Si Yiheng going to deal with her because he believed the contents of the post?
Retribution came surprisingly fast.
Iron Egg: Baby, you can't admit it. If Si Yiheng is confronting you, it means there's still room to turn things around.
Iron Egg: Send a voice message to Si Yiheng, shed some tears, hurry up and pretend, put on an act.
Shu Yu brewed her emotions for a moment and sent Si Yiheng a call invitation. Si Yiheng answered almost instantly.
"Brother, they are slandering me."
"I didn't send fake internet photos to deceive you."
"They are just jealous of you."
The young girl's voice was extremely light and soft, carrying a faint, weak crying tone.
Si Yiheng: "What are they jealous of me for?"
Shu Yu whispered, "Jealous that you have a very good girlfriend, jealous that you have a partner. They are just going crazy from being single, jealous of our love."
The corners of Si Yiheng's lips curled up slightly. "Mm."
Shu Yu really was like a little kitten, the kind that was afraid of people. When someone appeared, she would hide and go to a place she felt was safe.
But she knew she was a very good kitten.
Anyone who had her should feel happy.
Shu Yu was very angry: "Brother, they actually framed me. It's all your fault."
Si Yiheng: "Mm."
The more Shu Yu spoke, the more she felt it was Si Yiheng's problem. "If you hadn't gone to deliver that umbrella and attracted those bees and butterflies, I wouldn't have been scolded."
Iron Egg exclaimed: This blame-shifting is really strong. Exactly, exactly! If Si Yiheng hadn't attracted bees and butterflies, you definitely wouldn't have been scolded.
Si Yiheng's lips carried a faint smile. "You're right. Do you need me to apologize to you?"
Shu Yu: "There's no need for an apology. Who told me to be someone who doesn't hold grudges."
"But..."
Si Yiheng: "Hmm?"
Shu Yu quietly made a request, "If I make a mistake in the future, don't be fierce to me. Can you forgive me? Even if we break up, don't get too angry."
Actually, Shu Yu wanted to say that even if she scammed a lot of money from him, Si Yiheng shouldn't get angry and shouldn't throw her to the dogs.
But Shu Yu didn't dare to say it, so she just mentioned breaking up.
Si Yiheng didn't think he would get angry at Shu Yu. Not everything was worth him fussing over.
Especially matters of the heart.
Even if they had conflicts, they would break up peacefully. He wouldn't force things; he would let Shu Yu go.
Si Yiheng: "Okay, even if we break up, I won't get angry."
Shu Yu's previous nervous emotions completely relaxed. She was smart after all, asking for a get-out-of-jail-free card in advance.
Shu Yu: "Wait a minute, I want to record this."
Shu Yu: "Brother, say it again."
Si Yiheng lowered his eyes, his voice steady and serious. "No matter what you do, even after we break up, I won't get angry. I will respect you and give you freedom."
Shu Yu was relieved.
Si Yiheng: "Now can we talk about the post?"
Shu Yu: "We can!"
"Do you want me to act like an all-controlling father..." Si Yiheng paused before continuing to ask slowly, "...and solve this matter for you, or do you want to solve it yourself?"
Shu Yu's head was dizzy. She only knew that Si Yiheng wasn't angry anymore. As for solving what problem, she didn't know what problem needed solving.
Shu Yu spoke without hesitation, "You solve it!"
Si Yiheng respected Shu Yu's thoughts. After guessing what Shu Yu was afraid of, Si Yiheng didn't intend to force Shu Yu to do anything.
There are all kinds of people in this world, and no one is obligated to do any specific thing.
Si Yiheng: "Send me your ID card. I will sue them in your name for damaging your reputation, and make them compensate you and apologize to you."
Shu Yu: ...
Send a photo of her ID to Si Yiheng? That wouldn't do.
Shu Yu: "Then I'll just solve it myself."
Si Yiheng: "I just sent you the lawyer's contact. Explain the situation clearly to the lawyer, and he will help you handle everything."
Shu Yu slowly realized something. "...Did you recommend this lawyer to me so I could sue the people in the forum?"
Si Yiheng: "Mm, I asked Shen Qinghan for the business card. This lawyer is very good at fighting reputation lawsuits."
Shu Yu: ...
So piecing things together, Si Yiheng saw the rumors in the forum and asked Shen Qinghan for a lawyer's business card.
Shen Qinghan thought Si Yiheng was going to sue her, and came to tell her. She was scared out of her wits in front of Si Yiheng and was coaxed by him into saying things like she didn't want to see him.
Shu Yu was a bit angered to the point of laughing, but she didn't dare to laugh, afraid of getting messed with again.
Shen Qinghan, that idiot.
Shu Yu would not admit that she was wrong. Anyone else could be wrong, but she would never be wrong!
Shu Yu hung up the phone with Si Yiheng.
Thinking of having to add a stranger, Shu Yu was already starting to back out. But she couldn't just let Gu Yunjing spread rumors about her either.
Shu Yu knew the rumor-monger was definitely Gu Yunjing. After all, from the plot and the people she had grudges with, only Gu Yunjing was the suspect.
Shu Yu planned to borrow someone else's authority to throw her weight around.
But Shu Yu was a little worried about alerting the enemy, so she asked Iron Egg, "Iron Egg, can you save all these people's information? Collect the evidence, just like how those agencies collect evidence."
Iron Egg: This is very simple, I'll solve it for you. Once the evidence is collected, it will be sent to your email through an agency. I'll handle it on my end, ensuring it's legal and compliant.
Shu Yu was relieved.
Shu Yu found Gu Yunjing's chat box and sent the post to her.
LittleFishSwimming: Apologize to me!
Gu Yunjing: Why should I apologize to you?
Gu Yunjing: How can you prove this is me?
LittleFishSwimming: If you don't apologize to me, I will sue you.
Gu Yunjing panicked a little. She originally thought that given Shu Yu's personality, even if Shu Yu saw it, she would pretend she hadn't.
After all, Shu Yu had always been very easy to bully before.
But even though she was a little panicked, Gu Yunjing didn't plan to apologize to Shu Yu.
Gu Yunjing: "Who does Shu Yu think she is? Asking me to apologize, can she afford a lawyer? Who doesn't know she's extremely poor."
Xie Mengying heard the familiar name, slightly raised her eyes, and looked at Gu Yunjing. "Why does Shu Yu want to sue you?"
Gu Yunjing would never admit that she was the one spreading rumors about Shu Yu on the campus forum.
Gu Yunjing: "Who knows? Shu Yu is just a lunatic."
Gu Yunjing replied to Shu Yu: Aren't you just relying on having a rich boyfriend? Without Si Yiheng, would you dare speak to me like this?
