Su Lin thought about it and agreed that it made sense.

I felt much more at ease then: "How much do you think we should ask him for?"

The reason Guan Luchen asked for a dowry of ten million was because they had put a lot of effort into raising Ning You, okay?

As for Ning Wan...

...Fine, I'll give you a 50% discount, how about 5 million?

Ning Jianshe thought for a moment and said, "Leave this matter to me, you don't need to worry about it."

On one side, Ning Jianshe and Su Lin were making their plans perfectly, but they didn't expect that they would be in big trouble the very next day.

At the press conference, Shen Fu intentionally revealed information about Ning Wan's parents.

So some curious reporters started investigating in this direction.

Originally, I just intended to give the boss a perfunctory answer. But I never expected that this digging would uncover such a huge revelation.

Is it a decline in morality, or a distortion of human nature?

They had been abusing and committing domestic violence against their own daughter for years!

The process of obtaining evidence was very easy for the reporters.

Su Lin never shied away from hitting her child, and the incident became widely known.

If you ask any of the neighbors who lived near them back then, you'll find they are everywhere.

In the footage, the neighbor being interviewed had their face blurred out.

Even though her voice was muted, it couldn't hide her reluctance and indignation when she talked about the matter.

“That family is so cruel. The child is so young, yet they force her to do chores. In the dead of winter, they insist on using well water to wash clothes, saying it's to save money, and they won't let her come inside until she finishes. Sometimes they don't feed her. She's only 5 or 6 years old, but she's as thin as a 3 or 4-year-old. It's so pitiful…”

The reporter, holding a microphone, asked, "Didn't you ever think about calling the police or helping the child?"

“Of course I thought about it. When we fed the child, that woman called her a shameless beggar. When we called the police, she said we were meddling and took the child home to beat her up.”

Recalling those days, the neighbor couldn't help but sigh and shake his head: "They used to beat the children all the time, with those long bamboo sticks, breaking one after another. Tsk tsk, it was so tragic..."

"Should the male or female homeowner hit him?"

The neighbor thought for a moment and replied, "The wife probably beats them more often. But in this kind of situation, if the man doesn't acquiesce, how could the child live such a miserable life?"

"These parents are utterly heartless and despicable!"

After the news was released, Song Mengwan immediately posted an angry rebuke, and Sun Mo followed suit.

Many celebrities who are on good terms with them have also started to pay attention to this matter.

Netizens left messages expressing their sympathy for Ning Wan, while also criticizing Ning Jianshe and Su Lin.

[That philandering scumbag, that beast! Disgusting!]

[Cheating man and vicious woman, calling you scum is an insult!]

[A bitch and a dog are a perfect match, may they stay together forever!]

...

In the era of big data and traffic, public opinion is fermenting more and more seriously.

There were too many reporters blocking the company entrance, so Ning Jianshe dared not go.

After being pelted with rotten eggs once, Su Lin didn't dare to step out the door again.

The servants, fearing trouble, took sick leave one after another, and some even resigned.

The couple stayed home for several days and ran out of food.

Su Lin had no choice but to call Ning You, but she had already blocked Ning You's contact information.

She called Ning Wan, only to discover that she didn't even have Ning Wan's phone number.

Local food delivery drivers refused to accept orders as soon as they saw Ning's address.

Left with no other option, Su Lin called her best friend: "Hey, Weiwei. Could you please buy me some food and bring it over? Also, some drinks and juice. Oh, and I'm out of bird's nest. Could you deliver it first, and I'll pay you back later..."

"Pah! Don't call my name, it disgusts me!"

The woman on the phone spoke with disgust and disdain.

Completely different from the previous fawning: "If I had known you, Su Lin, were this kind of person, even if I were blind and could see ghosts and filth, I wouldn't have seen your bad luck!"

After saying that, the phone was abruptly hung up.

Su Lin was stunned for a long time before she slowly came to her senses.

It's all that brat's fault!

I should have strangled her the moment she was born! Instead of making her angry like this!

Su Lin was furious, so she opened her phone and started searching.

He then made a phone call: "Hey, I have some big news! It's about Shen Fu of the Shenhao Group and his wife..."

Ning Jianshe happened to walk into the room, and upon hearing this, he quickly snatched Su Lin's phone and hung up: "What are you doing!"

"I want to report Shen Fu! I want to accuse her of raping Ning Wan back then!"

Since they won't let her have an easy time, she will never let Ning Wan and Shen Fu off the hook!

"Are you crazy?" Ning Jianshe said speechlessly, "If what happened back then gets out, let alone Shen Fu, the first people to suffer will be you and me!"

They were the ones who initially planned to drug Ning Wan and give her to a man with a particular sexual fetish.

Who would have thought that Shen Fu would get there first?

Ning Jianshe's face was extremely grim: "In short, don't get involved in this matter. I'll figure something out."

These days have also been difficult for Ning Jianshe.

The intense public outcry caused Ning's stock to plummet.

Many shareholders have chosen to sell their shares.

This will not only affect the company's asset value and development, but in severe cases, it may even shake Ning Jianshe's position as a director.

The Ning family, already facing financial difficulties and a crisis of confidence, is once again in dire straits.

Last time, the issue of the pregnant woman was still unresolved.

Unexpectedly, one problem after another arose.

Ning Jianshe couldn't understand who was deliberately targeting him behind his back time and time again...

...

Late at night, he dialed a phone number.

The call was disconnected after ringing twice.

Ning Jianshe sat on the edge of the bed, feeling agitated, and waited for a while.

Soon, the phone on the bedside table rang, and Ning Jianshe quickly answered, "Hello!..."

On the other end of the phone, a machine-simulated male voice said, "Didn't we agree not to contact each other for the time being? I'm not available right now."

"Mr. X, you have to help me!" Ning Jianshe asked in a panic, "Have you seen the news these past two days?"

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone before a reply came: "...Yes."

He not only saw it, but he also questioned the meaning of life.

He had approached Ning Jianshe because he knew about his relationship with Shen Fu.

He wanted to see Shen Fu and his father-in-law fight amongst themselves, like brothers turning against each other.

He wanted to see Ning Wan caught in the middle, caught in the middle, despised by everyone, and disliked by all.

Who would have thought that, without even him lifting a finger, Shen Fu had already slaughtered the Ning family without leaving a single survivor?

"Which damned bastard is deliberately targeting me behind my back time and time again! If I find out, I'll skin him alive!"
