More than half a year later, Pei Yuanzhou called Luo Huai for the first time. Before he could ask anything, Luo Huai answered first: "I didn't do anything to Pei Youyou. She is with Lin Zhengyu now. If you don't believe me, you can call and ask her yourself."

"Xiao Huai, what's wrong with your health...?"

beep...

The tone of the disconnected phone refused to answer him, like a fist striking his heart with a dull yet powerful ache.

"...How is it..." Pei Yuanzhou murmured dejectedly, the bruise on the corner of his mouth still visible.

His parents asked him to contact Luo Huai to inquire about his sister's situation, but the moment the call connected, he only wanted to know how Luo Huai was doing and also wanted to say sorry.

The other side died too quickly.

He truly became an insignificant person.

Pei Yuanzhou looked bitter as he contacted Lin Zhengyu under pressure from his parents.

"Zhengyu, is Youyou with you?"

Lin Zhengyu looked at Pei Youyou, who was already unconscious on the bed, and Xiang Nan, who was standing to the side, and said nonchalantly, "She fell asleep from exhaustion. It's nothing serious, she just seems to be angry."

"Are you angry?" Pei Yuanzhou asked. "What did Luo Huai say?"

"I don't know." Lin Zhengyu even sent Pei Yuanzhou a picture of Pei Youyou sleeping, which did not arouse suspicion from the Pei family.

After hanging up the phone, Xiang Nan asked worriedly, "President Lin, what should we do?"

Miss Pei already knows about their affair, what should we do?

What if the Pei family finds out?

And what about what they've planned?

Lin Zhengyu reached out and touched his swollen cheek, saying, "Don't worry, Youyou loves me, otherwise she wouldn't be so angry. If she loves me, I can persuade her. Besides, she already suspects that she was betrayed by her own brother. I will persuade her, even if it means you have to suffer."

"It's okay, Mr. Lin, I'll resign tomorrow." Xiang Nan rubbed his face against his palm, just like an incredibly docile and obedient dog.

Lin Zhengyu withdrew his hand and said, "Go over there and wait for me. I'll fly over to find you after I've finished dealing with everything."

Despite his reluctance to leave, Xiang Nan knew that staying here would only cause more trouble, so he nodded in agreement and bought a plane ticket overnight, eventually flying to the destination they had agreed upon.

……

Back at their home in Binjiang Bay, everyone who had been sitting on the sofa stood up. Zhu Shuangshuang ran over quickly and rushed to Luo Huai's side, carefully supporting her as if she were still a patient.

What made Luo Huai both amused and exasperated was Xing Yanzhao's speechless expression, and his sidelong glance at Brother Shen.

Luo Huai sat in the middle of the sofa like a protected princess, while Zhu Shuangshuang fed her hot water and fruit.

She would naturally feed the fruit to Zhu Shuangshuang.

Xing Yanzhao thought to himself, "These two should just become a family."

No. That didn't work. He quickly rejected the idea in his mind.

Old Shen took out the stack of Pei Youyou's bullying records that he had thrown in front of Pei Yuanzhou before, waved it, and asked Luo Huai for his opinion.

"sister in law?"

"Let them out, Brother Shen."

"Alright." Old Shen had finally waited for this day. "It's such a waste to have these materials in my hands but not be able to spread them."

Zhu Shuangshuang: "Is this how you use this word?"

Old Shen raised an eyebrow: "Isn't this something good for us? How should we handle this public relations situation with the Pei family?"

As a result, he received a glare from Xing Yanzhao, and half of this was also a record of Luo Huai's suffering.

Luo Huai looked up at Xing Yanzhao and smiled, indicating that everything was alright, "It's all in the past."

"Hmm." Xing Yanzhao looked away and didn't look at the stack of documents again.

Old Shen immediately contacted a media person he knew and distributed all the records. As for those who had been bullied by Pei Youyou, pseudonyms were used to protect their privacy.

at night.

A negative rumor about the Pei family's daughter began to circulate. The night is a breeding ground for emotions, and by midnight, the rumors had reached a fever pitch.

The heads of the public relations and legal departments of the Pei Group were woken up by a phone call in the middle of the night. When they groggily picked up their phones, they were shocked to see the sky falling down!

Pei Yuanzhou, who hadn't slept to begin with, was even more furious upon seeing this scene. He didn't dare tell his sleeping parents and hurriedly summoned his subordinates to the company for a meeting.

Lin Zhengyu also attended the meeting. Looking at the increasingly heated public opinion online, he simply curled his lips and thought to himself that he had come at the perfect time.

They all knew who had leaked the information.

Luo Huai's phone was unreachable again, and Xing Yanzhao was even less likely to be contacted. At the critical moment, Lin Zhengyu provided Liu Ying's phone number.

Lin Zhengyu didn't expect to be able to get through.

It eventually worked.

Lin Zhengyu turned on the speakerphone, and Pei Yuanzhou directly asked Xing Yanzhao what he meant by this and why he went back on his word.

Liu Ying had been waiting for the call for a long time. She said calmly, "President Pei, Luo Huai asked me to tell you something. She only promised not to sue Miss Pei for intentional homicide, but she did not promise not to make public what Miss Pei had done."

“Luo Huai?” Pei Yuanzhou frowned.

Liu Ying said on the other end of the phone, "Yes, Luo Huai. President Pei, President Lin, I wish you all the best."

The phone hangs up.

Pei Yuanzhou threw down the fountain pen in his hand.

Victims have begun to come forward online to share their experiences. Pei Yuanzhou asked his assistant, "Didn't they all already take the money and agree to settle things quietly?"

The assistant looked at the long accusation on her phone and said, "It says that their parents received the money, but they didn't, and they have already severed ties with their families."

Pei Yuanzhou rubbed his temples.

Everyone was brainstorming solutions, and despite their efforts, another piece of bad news came before noon.

Reporters staked out Xing's parents and interviewed them about their views on their daughter-in-law Pei Youyou's wrongdoings. Xing's mother immediately denied that Pei Youyou was her daughter-in-law.

Mr. Xing immediately distanced himself from the matter: "Zhengyu has changed his surname back to Lin and is no longer employed by Xing's. He is no longer a child of the Xing family, and Miss Pei is naturally not a member of our Xing family either."

Upon seeing this news, Lin Zhengyu immediately sneered, thinking, "What a good father who puts profit first!"

When the reporter pressed Xing's mother for her opinion on Pei Youyou's past mistreatment of her daughter-in-law, Xing's mother stiffened her neck and couldn't answer.

"I heard that you have always looked down on your own son and daughter-in-law. Why is that?" The reporter didn't ask directly if it was true, but instead asked why.

Xing's mother was utterly speechless.

Because the Xing family quickly distanced themselves from the situation, and another victim of Pei Youyou's bullying was the wife of the president of Xing's Group, Xing's Group was naturally not affected.

The Pei family was in a terrible predicament; by noon, their stock was already trending towards hitting the daily limit down.

Officer Qu even led his men to the Pei family to arrest Pei Youyou, but instead of finding her, they caught Pei's parents off guard.

Pei's mother fainted on the spot.

Pei's father was furious and cursed, saying that he didn't know where his daughter was. They really didn't know where she was, so they went to find Lin Zhengyu.

Before this, Lin Zhengyu had returned to Pei Youyou's side and told her about what had happened that day.

Pei Youyou was terrified and felt that Luo Huai had gone back on his word.

“Youyou, in this situation, in order to protect the Pei family, Dad and Yuanzhou will definitely hand you over and hold a press conference to publicly apologize in order to salvage the Pei family’s image.” Lin Zhengyu hugged her. “You see, only I love you, and only I can help you.”

Pei Youyou was truly terrified, her defenses completely crumbled, and she no longer cared about Lin Zhengyu's infidelity, crying her heart out in her arms.

"Brother Zhengyu, you must save me, save me!"

“Of course, we’re husband and wife.” Where Pei Youyou couldn’t see, Lin Zhengyu gave a sinister smile.
