Shen Yanchuan picked up the shirt from the carpet, put it on, and deftly buttoned it with his long, slender fingers. He then picked up a suit jacket, draped it over his arm, and went out.

Su Chenxi followed him downstairs. Shen Yanchuan said goodbye to the old lady and left. Su Chenxi sat down next to the old lady and said, "Grandma, thank you for believing in me."

Old Mrs. Shen has seen countless people, and moreover, she was once a victor in the power struggles of wealthy families. She can tell at a glance who is kind-hearted and who is wicked.

Although Xia Xiaomeng is also her granddaughter-in-law, Xia Xiaomeng's eyes reveal a strong ambition and desire, and she is clearly a cunning and manipulative person. Su Chenxi, on the other hand, appears frank and sincere, without any pretense of superiority.

"Child, try to avoid associating with your uncle's family next time," Grandma Shen reminded her.

"I understand, Grandma." Su Chenxi nodded. She would stay far away from this guy from now on.

The old lady thought to herself, "It's a good thing that my second grandson is in charge of the company now, otherwise, he and his wife would have been bullied if something like this happened."

Jiangzhai.

Su Meifen opened a message sent by a friend. The title read: "The first granddaughter-in-law of the Shen family blew up at the banquet. The perpetrator was actually another granddaughter-in-law."

She was so shocked that she quickly clicked on the text and photos, only to see what had happened last night. She covered her mouth in shock. How could it be related to Chenxi?

"Yaoyao, what exactly happened last night? Why did the news say that Chenxi pushed Xia Xiaomeng?" Su Meifen hurried upstairs to ask her daughter.

Jiang Yao was watching videos from last night on the second floor when she heard her mother's question. She readily admitted, "Mom, you're only finding out now? Last night, it was your good daughter, Su Chenxi, who pushed the eldest daughter-in-law of the Shen family, causing her to miscarry. It was a terrible scene."

“Chenxi would never do such a thing, she’s not that bad,” Su Meifen retorted anxiously.

Jiang Yao snorted coldly, "Isn't she bad? Last night I brought a bag to the banquet, and she deliberately brought a real bag to slap me in the face, making me laugh at those socialites and lose face."

Su Meifen was taken aback. "Then why did you mention the fake bag?"

"It's all because you don't give me money, so I can't afford a real bag. If I were the one who married into the Shen family, would I need to use a fake bag?" Jiang Yao said through gritted teeth, full of resentment.

Su Meifen sighed in anger. Was her daughter possessed?

Jiang Yao said smugly to her mother, "Now the whole internet is cursing her, calling her a scheming bitch, labeling her a wicked daughter-in-law of a wealthy family, and it makes me feel good."

Su Meifen frowned with worry. She thought that the Shen family would step in to protect their daughter's reputation.

In the afternoon, a press conference was prepared by the Shen Foundation. The invited reporters were pleasantly surprised, as it seemed the Shen family was going to make a statement about what happened last night.

I wonder who will be there. Could it be that vicious second granddaughter-in-law apologizing on the spot?

The media reporters were treated very well, with food, drinks, and red envelopes to receive. Each reporter present received a red envelope containing 10,000 yuan, which made them exclaim how generous it was.

"Please be prepared, fellow journalists."

Immediately, all the cameras and cannons were aimed at the exit. Just as everyone was expecting Su Chenxi to arrive and apologize, a jeweled figure walked out. It was the elderly Mrs. Shen, with a full head of silver hair, wearing a traditional Chinese cheongsam, and looking radiant.

"Good heavens! It's an old lady."

"I haven't seen her in a long time. She's still in such good spirits and looks so healthy!"

Grandma Shen sat in front of the reporters, her face kind and gentle, and said, “Thank you all for coming. I am very happy to meet you. I know that something happened in our Shen family last night. After investigation, it was an accident. My eldest granddaughter-in-law and second granddaughter-in-law were seriously injured. Here, I appeal to my friends in the reporters not to spread rumors and to report the truth. Thank you.”

As the saying goes, "He who eats another's food is bound to do his bidding," and since all the reporters present today received large red envelopes, they all nodded in agreement.

"Grandma, are you sure this was an accident?" someone asked.

“It was indeed an accident. I feel very sorry for my two granddaughters-in-law, and I hope that everyone will report more positive news and give our Shen family a chance to have some peace and quiet.”

The old lady's influence was still quite strong. Soon, various media outlets published articles re-described the events of the previous night, turning the tide for Su Chenxi, who was being criticized.

In the hospital, Xia Xiaomeng, who was undergoing a fake postpartum period, saw the report and her face turned red with anger. "Grandma is so biased. I've suffered so much, and she doesn't even care about me."

Zhu Ying, sitting to the side, also expressed her dissatisfaction, saying, "Just bear with it! The old lady has already spoken; if we make a fuss, we'll be going against her."

"Mom, I can't swallow this." Xia Xiaomeng cried, covering her face.

Thinking of his lost son, Shen Jianchang punched the wall and said, "I won't let them get away with this."

Zhu Ying glanced at her son, then at her daughter-in-law, and said, "Think about it, how many years can this old lady protect them? We'll swallow this insult today, but we'll definitely get our revenge in the future."

Although Xia Xiaomeng wished she could kick Su Chenxi out of the Shen family right now, she couldn't do it right now because the old lady was backing her up. So she decided to just wait it out! Once the old lady was gone, she could deal with Su Chenxi.

"Okay, we'll listen to Mom and swallow this for now," Xia Xiaomeng said, biting her red lips.

……

Su Chenxi was moved when she saw the press conference where the old lady personally appeared. At noon, the old lady only said that she had to go out for a while, but it turned out that she was there to resolve this matter. Now the trend on the Internet has changed again.

The media reported that Xia Xiaomeng's skirt was too long, causing her to trip on the stairs. Su Chenxi tried to pull her up, resulting in both of them falling down together. Immediately, some people in the comments section spoke up for her.

Meanwhile, it was also reported that the foundation managed by Su Chenxi had just donated funds to support maternal and child health assistance, which was heavily publicized by the media and helped her regain favor.

Jiang Yao also saw this, and several of her malicious comments were refuted by netizens.

“You people who can’t even afford to eat, yet you sympathize with her? Why don’t you sympathize with your monthly salary of three thousand?” she retorted angrily.

"Does a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan mean we can't have freedom of speech? It's none of your business."

"You bunch of idiots," Jiang Yao cursed again.

"You mad dog, you bite anyone you see! You're not jealous of the second young mistress of the Shen family, are you? Too bad you're not as lucky as her. Just be a jealous woman!"

Jiang Yao was so angry she almost smashed her phone, shouting, "I'm not as lucky as her? She stole my destiny."

Jiang Yao suddenly realized that she had to do something. For example, she had to get closer to Shen Yanchuan and let him discover her good qualities. Last night, he didn't notice her because Su Chenxi dressed too seductively and stole her thunder.

"I want to work for Shen's Group. I want him to notice me." After saying that, Jiang Yao quickly went to submit her resume. However, she found that her resume from a second-rate university was not even good enough to get in.

Jiang Yao quickly went downstairs to find her mother. "Mom, I need your help with something."

"what's up?"

"I want to go to work. I don't want to waste my life at home."

"Oh! You're going to work at your dad's company?"

"No, I want to work for Shen's Group. I want a better future."

"Then try sending out resumes!" Su Meifen was quite happy to see her cheer up.

"Their company has strict requirements regarding academic qualifications, and my qualifications are not good enough to get in. Mom, could you please ask my sister to help me and plead with my brother-in-law so that I can work at Shen's Group?" Jiang Yao said coquettishly, clinging to her mother's hand.

“It’s not good to ask your sister for help with this. How about this? I’ll call Yan Chuan myself.” Su Meifen thought to herself that it was better to swallow her pride than to trouble her daughter.

Jiang Yao's eyes lit up with joy. "Okay, Mom, I'll wait for your news."

Back in her room, Jiang Yao dreamed of a passionate yet ambiguous office romance, so she could see Shen Yanchuan every day.
