A pond full of blooming flowers, an ultimate addiction.

As Chi Chengyu's mother watched the group leave, she walked over and grabbed Jiang Yi's hand. Jiang Yi reflexively stepped back to avoid her touch, and Chi Ruiche pulled her close, shielding her in front of him.

"Xiao Yi, please go with Cheng Yu to explain things. He must have been framed." Chi Cheng Yu's mother smiled, her face contorted with grimaces, her previous accusatory demeanor completely gone.

"Someone will investigate this matter thoroughly. Whether I go or not won't affect the truth of the matter." Jiang Yi took another step back. This sudden contact made her physically disgusted, and her expression was also dissatisfied.

"Auntie spoke without thinking, and I lost my temper too. I hope you adults won't hold a grudge." Chi Chengyu's mother rubbed her hands awkwardly, her smile frozen on her face.

“With your connections, they will listen.” Chi Chengyu’s mother continued to approach, trying to pull Jiang Yi back.

Chi Ruiche suddenly grabbed her wrist, his eyes sharpening as if all his strength was concentrated in his clenched hand, and said coldly, "Be careful what you say."

"Everything is uncertain. Instead of wasting your time talking to me about these baseless things, you should find evidence."

Jiang Yi tugged at Chi Ruiche's sleeve, shaking her head slightly to tell him not to make things worse. With so many reporters present today, this matter will definitely be spread tomorrow. If a couple more photos are taken, coupled with ambiguous headlines, the public opinion will become uncontrollable.

"Let go, it hurts..." Her wrist was tightly gripped, and the noblewoman's features were contorted, her flushed face even more pronounced against the backdrop of her violet dress.

"Second Aunt, the annual party has started. Let's take our seats." Chi Chengling spoke up at the right moment, patting Chi Chengyu to let him go and help people.

Chi Ruiche led Jiang Yi back to the main table, his eyes flashing with hatred as he sat down to meet the scrutinizing gazes of the others.

"Second brother, what should we do?" Chi Chengyu tried to calm himself down, his round face wide with anger. "He actually went public! He's trying to use public pressure to kick me out! What should we do?"

"Cheng Ling, please help Cheng Yu. Cheng Yu is still so young. This is just children playing around." Chi Cheng Yu's mother still believes in her son. Even if he is wrong, it's just because he is young.

"Don't worry, I've already had my brother contact a lawyer." Chi Chengling smiled kindly. "But Aunt, who exactly is trying to harm Chengyu? It would be best if we could find the video provider, or even the mastermind behind it."

“If this matter blows up, Cheng Yu’s future will be ruined. It must be Chi Ruiche. He can’t stand Cheng Yu being favored by the old man, so he went to great lengths to frame him,” Chi Cheng Yu’s mother answered with certainty.

"Cheng Yu, didn't you destroy those videos? Is there someone else hiding them besides you?"

"I destroyed everything as you instructed. I even smashed the computer. It's impossible to restore it." Chi Chengyu nodded firmly. The document that Chi Ruiche gave to his grandfather was about Chi Chengyu deliberately causing trouble and killing his roommate during college. In order to clear his name, Chi Chengyu's age was changed to be under eighteen years old.

Chi Chengling and his group immediately ordered Chi Chengyu to destroy his so-called 'spoils of war' to prevent Chi Ruiche from having any opportunity to exploit. They also believed that Chi Ruiche, given his personality, wouldn't resort to such tricks. But today, it seems they were all wrong.

"I'll go shut those reporters up first. Second Aunt, you call Second Uncle and discuss what to do." Chi Chengling casually fiddled with his watch strap, his expression relaxed and carefree.

"Thank you for your help, Cheng Ling. It doesn't matter how much it costs," said Chi Chengyu's mother.

“These reporters are waiting for a big story,” Chi Chengting said politely, adjusting his glasses.

"Big news?" Chi Chengyu sensed something extraordinary. His somewhat flustered expression calmed down at this moment, and his eyes turned heavy and cold.
