Just then, hurried footsteps came from outside the door, followed by the servant's anxious knocking.

"Young Miss, what's wrong? What happened?" the maid asked loudly from outside the door, her voice filled with worry.

Upon hearing the maid's voice, Jiang Ping grasped at a straw and shouted hoarsely, "Come in quickly! Shen Chumo has gone mad."

Shen Chumo remained calm, squatted down, leaned close to Jiang Ping's ear, and whispered, "If you dare let her in, I'll release the recording right now and let your dad and everyone else know what you've done."

Jiang Haihe is a hypocritical businessman who likes to pretend to treat his biological children and adopted daughter equally in front of outsiders. If this recording is exposed, Jiang Haihe will punish Jiang Ping out of consideration for their relationship.

Even though Jiang Haihe loves Jiang Ping, the interests of the Jiang family are still his top priority.

Jiang Ping clearly understood as well. Her body stiffened abruptly, and she swallowed back the cry for help that was on the tip of her tongue.

She looked at Shen Chumo, her eyes filled with resentment and anger, but even more so with fear.

Shen Chumo stood up, straightened her clothes, and then called out to the door, "It's nothing. I just accidentally broke something. Don't worry about it. Go do whatever you need to do."

The maid hesitated for a moment outside the door and said, "But, the young lady's scream just now..."

Shen Chumo looked at Jiang Ping with interest and shook her phone.

Jiang Ping shouted in despair, "I'm fine!"

Hearing Jiang Ping's words, the maid hesitated for a moment outside the door, but ultimately did not insist any further, and her footsteps gradually faded away. Even after the footsteps had completely disappeared, the fear on Jiang Ping's face had not yet dissipated. She glared hatefully at Shen Chumo, her eyes filled with resentment.

Shen Chumo remained unmoved, leisurely sitting down on the edge of the bed, looking at Jiang Ping with a half-smile: "What, still not convinced?"

Jiang Ping gritted her teeth and squeezed out a few words after a long while: "Shen Chumo, give me the recording, and I promise you, I will never target you again at school or at home, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Chumo's lips curled into a mocking smile, her fingertips unconsciously tracing the phone screen. "Jiang Ping, do you think I'm a three-year-old?"

She suddenly leaned closer, and Jiang Ping instinctively shrank back, but she grabbed her collar.

"Back when you poured glue on my desk, stuffed bugs into my books, and locked me in the bathroom all night, did you never think this day would come? Now you think you can just let bygones be bygones with a simple 'no longer targeting me'?"

Jiang Ping's face flushed red, her hair disheveled as she struggled. "Shen Chumo! Don't push your luck!"

"This is too much!" Shen Chumo suddenly let go, and Jiang Ping staggered and fell to the ground.

She pulled a stack of photos from the drawer and threw them at her. These photos showed Jiang Ping dancing intimately with different men in nightclubs.

Some of the photos were even more obscene, showing Jiang Ping almost naked in a passionate kiss with a man.

Jiang Ping's eyes widened in horror as she stared at the photos, as if she were seeing her most shameful side being laid bare before others.

"How...how did you get these photos!" Jiang Ping's voice trembled, tinged with despair.

If her dad sees these photos, he'll definitely break her legs.

These were all collected by Shen Chumo in the past. She has never been one to let others bully her without fighting back, even though she has already tolerated a lot for Xu Qin's sake.

But Jiang Ping's actions were so outrageous that she could no longer tolerate them.

Not long after this point in her previous life, she anonymously released all of these photos, and Jiang Ping's reputation plummeted instantly.

Enraged, Jiang Hai confined Jiang Ping for a month. He eventually intervened, suppressing the photos and sending her abroad. Five years later, Jiang Ping returned in style and entered the Jiang family business.

Few people remember her history anymore.

Jiang Haihe began to investigate this matter secretly. At that time, Shen Chumo's methods were not very sophisticated, and Jiang Haihe quickly found her.

Jiang Hai deliberately kept quiet, secretly plotting how to make Shen Chumo pay the price for her actions.

Thinking of this, Shen Chumo's eyes flashed with cold light; this time, she was going to try a different approach.

Shen Chumo looked at Jiang Ping, "You don't need to know why I have these photos. You just need to know that I can ruin your reputation at any time."

Shen Chumo emphasized the last four words.

"Just think about it, the eldest daughter of the prestigious Jiang family is so promiscuous even before she is an adult. If these photos were to circulate, tsk tsk, Jiang Ping, how will you have the face to live in this world?"

Jiang Ping's face turned deathly pale instantly. She knew, of course, what terrible consequences these photos would bring if they were exposed.

"No...no, Shen Chumo, I beg you, I'll give you anything you want, just don't send these photos out." Jiang Ping's voice was choked with sobs, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

Shen Chumo raised an eyebrow slightly. "That depends on what you're going to do."

Shen Chumo and Jiang Ping walked out of the room hand in hand. When they went downstairs, the servants in the house were dumbfounded.

"Am I seeing things? Why are Miss and Miss Shen suddenly so close?" a maid muttered under her breath, her face full of doubt.

Another maid chimed in, "Yes, Miss Shen is usually beaten and scolded by the young lady. What's wrong with her today?"

"However, Miss Shen is getting more and more beautiful. I was stunned for a moment just now," the maid continued in a low voice, a hint of envy in her eyes.

"Yes, and when Miss Shen walks with the eldest young lady, even though she's dressed simply, Miss Shen looks like the real young lady," another maid remarked.

"Hey, keep your voice down, be careful not to let the young lady hear you."

The maid quickly covered her mouth. Everyone knew that Miss Jiang hated it most when people mentioned her and Miss Shen's appearance. Whenever someone praised Miss Shen, Miss Jiang would fly into a rage, at best insulting her, at worst punishing her physically.

Especially the servants of the Jiang family, in comparison, felt even more sympathy for Miss Shen, who was beautiful and kind-hearted. However, Miss Shen was not Mr. Jiang's biological daughter, and they also indulged Jiang Ping in bullying Miss Shen.

Those of them who were servants dared not disobey their masters' wishes.

Shen Chumo and Jiang Ping walked into the restaurant. The Jiang family happened to be away today, and the chef had already prepared the food and placed it on the table.

Jiang Ping making her cook wasn't because there was no one else to cook at home; it was either a deliberate attempt to humiliate her.

Once she had actually prepared the meal, Jiang Ping would pretend to accidentally spill the food.

Jiang Ping shook off Shen Chumo's hand, walked to the dining table, sat down, and picked up her chopsticks to eat.

"Wait! Who told you to eat it?"
