Lin Qingtong wasn't angry; she simply gazed quietly at Shen Tingting in front of her.

"Do you know the background of this villa? It was designed and supervised by your uncle. It has nothing to do with the Shen family. I don't know how some people can shamelessly say that it is the property of the Shen family."

"Moreover, I never intended to seize the Wutong Manor. If Shen Tinghe says he wants to take the manor back, I will definitely return it to him without hesitation."

She suddenly took out her phone and showed Shen Tingting a photo.

"This is the agreement that your uncle willingly gave me back then, and I secretly added a clause to it, which is that as long as we break up, Wutong Manor will return to your uncle's hands."

Shen Tingting stared blankly at the agreement on the screen in front of her; the official seal and Shen Tinghe's signature were both present.

Her entire worldview seemed to have been turned upside down. Her second uncle, who had just been kind and tearful, was now the one trying to steal from her.

She was already in her twenties and could understand the weight of the agreement Lin Qingtong had just presented.

In that instant, Shen Tingting felt her face turn pale and then blushed. She suddenly bowed deeply to Lin Qingtong in apology.

"Miss Lin, I'm sorry. I took things out of context. Don't worry, I will be moving out of the manor soon."

Lin Qingtong looked at Shen Tingting with admiration; at least she knew her mistakes and was willing to correct them, which was commendable.

"You don't need to move."

Shen Man was initially quite anxious when she heard that Shen Tingting was going to move out of the manor.

Shen Tingting wanted to move, but she didn't want to leave. This place was a thousand times better than the Shen family home.

Her classmates were filled with admiration and worship just from hearing that she lived here.

Now, hearing Lin Qingtong's suggestion not to move out, her eyes lit up even more.

“Tingting, since Auntie has said so, let’s stay here so that outsiders won’t say anything bad about her, that she can’t even tolerate us two younger generation members.”

Her words were tinged with provocation.

Lin Qingtong glanced at Shen Man. This person looked honest, but her scheming was deeper than anyone else's. She actually dared to plot against her right in front of her.

She was worried that outsiders would say she was intolerant and unpleasant, but today she's showing no tolerance for others.

Shen Tingting felt that something was off about what he said, but she couldn't figure out why.

Lin Qingtong simply smiled coldly and spoke.

"Tingting doesn't have to move out, but you have to."

As she spoke the second half of her sentence, her sharp, cold gaze shot towards Shen Man.

"Don't think I don't know that you've been contacting Master Shen in secret because you want to take back this manor."

"I think the condition he agreed to for you was the cost of studying abroad, right?"

Shen Man was surprised that Lin Qingtong had guessed everything correctly, and her face immediately turned ashen.

"What did you say, Auntie? I don't understand."

Lin Qingtong coldly replied, "I don't have a junior like you who schemes at every turn. Call me Miss Lin."

Most of the people attending the party today are second-generation rich kids from our circle, and their families are all incredibly prominent.

This is also why Shen Man looked down on Shen Tingting, yet insisted on attending the party.

She wanted to meet some rich kids at the party so she could plan for her future.

Seeing Lin Qingtong's aloofness and indifference, a cold glint flashed in Shen Man's eyes. Then, with tears streaming down her face, she was about to kneel down and apologize to Lin Qingtong.

"Auntie, I'm sorry, it's my fault, I shouldn't have been here."

"Please forgive me, I just wanted to make more friends."

She knelt on the grass and kowtowed to Lin Qingtong several times.

Lin Qingtong was so frightened that she dodged to the side, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw the rich second-generation boys suddenly filled with righteous indignation and accusation.

"You've gone too far. It's just a house, and you're demanding that someone kneel down and apologize to you."

"You're just my girlfriend, aren't you a member of the Shen family? How dare you do this?"

Shen Tingting was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly defended Lin Qingtong.

"Everyone has misunderstood. My aunt is not that kind of person."

Only now did she realize that Lin Qingtong was truly a good person, letting them stay in the manor and serving them delicious food and drinks every day.

Designer clothing was delivered in like a flowing stream, without any hesitation.

Although she had always looked down on Lin Qingtong, she could only bully her herself; no one else could bully her in the slightest.

Those rich kids, who had always disliked Shen Tingting, spoke up sarcastically.

"Chen Man is your sister, and you're actually defending an outsider? I think you've lost your mind."

These people stood up for Shen Man, but she just knelt on the ground and kept crying.

Shen Tingting tried to pull Shen Man away, but as soon as she reached out, the other woman trembled and fell to the side, sobbing pitifully and begging for mercy.

"Sister, please don't hit me. I know I was wrong."

The rich kids were even more furious. Shen Man was already thin, and Shen Tingting was actually going to hit her.

They immediately shielded Shen Man behind them.

"You dare to hit her in front of us, so you must hit her hard in private, right?"

"I never expected you to be such a vicious person. Quickly apologize to Chen Man."

Shen Tingting was somewhat surprised by what she saw.

These people were all her friends, but they turned around and spoke up for Shen Man.

She was furious. She had never hit Shen Man and had always taken care of him, yet he repaid her like this.

"What do you mean, 'hit someone'? Shen Man, get up and explain yourself! I've never hit you!"

When she rushed forward, she was stopped by those rich kids, who even pushed her.

Seeing that Shen Tingting was about to fall, Lin Qingtong caught her and smiled calmly.

"Why bother arguing with this kind of person? It's good that you've seen through them now; you'll have to be much more careful in the future."

For some reason, Shen Tingting seemed to understand Lin Qingtong's words, and gradually calmed down, coldly instructing the butler in her anger.

"Go and throw all of Shen Man's luggage out, and kick these people out too."

One of the rich kids, named Li Ling, was furious upon hearing Shen Tingting's words.

"Why are you kicking us out? This isn't your home."

Shen Tingting's chest heaved with anger. This Li Ling had been ostracized by everyone, but she had overcome all difficulties to get everyone to play with him.

Instead, he blamed himself.

Lin Qingtong casually remarked from the side.

"As long as I agree to let her live in the manor, she has that right. Butler, hurry up and do as Miss says."

After the group of rich kids were driven away, the lawn was a mess, and the servants were hurriedly cleaning up.

Shen Tingting followed behind Lin Qingtong with a face full of shame, apologizing: "I'm sorry, Auntie. I was blinded by someone before. I won't do it again."

Lin Qingtong smiled faintly, indicating that she didn't mind and told her to stay there with peace of mind.

After learning about Lin Qingtong's actions today, Shen Tinghe immediately transferred ten million to her, ostensibly as a reward.

Lin Qingtong smiled slightly, bought some maternity and baby supplies from the mall, and then appeared at the hospital with Luo Susu.

At that moment, she was standing at the door of the ward watching the commotion.
