Chapter 700: Teach Him a Lesson
Qin Ce turned to look at her, but before he could speak, he heard Qin Liang's furious voice coming from the study.
"What are you going to eat! Get him out of here!"
Wang Yu glanced at Qin Ce, then looked at Qin Liang in the study, and was in a dilemma.
In the end, I went into the study first.
"Why are you getting angry again? Didn't I tell you not to argue with Xiao Ce..."
Qin Ce listened to the sounds inside, gave a mocking smirk, and turned to leave.
In the study, Wang Yu poured Qin Liang a glass of water and advised him, "Alright, don't be angry. You are father and son, not enemies. Why do you always have to make things so ugly?"
Qin Liang placed the water on the table without drinking it. He was much calmer than before. "We can't let this Qin Ce thing continue like this."
Wang Yu paused, knowing that Qin Liang was reminding her, even though he hadn't said it explicitly.
She pretended to be unaware and asked, "Yes, if this continues, it won't be good for Xiao Ce or our Qin family. But now that it's spread so widely online, won't it be difficult to handle?"
"Take down the photos and posts first," Qin Liang said to Wang Yu. "You handle this. No matter what, if you hadn't taken those photos, things wouldn't have escalated like this."
Qin Liang's arrangement is tantamount to a step backward.
Wang Yu was very unwilling, but she didn't dare to show it too obviously.
"Are you blaming me?" Wang Yu lowered her eyes. "I took those photos because of you and Xiao Ce. If your relationship wasn't so tense, I wouldn't have had to go through all that trouble."
As she spoke, she felt somewhat aggrieved, "You've ruined your relationship with the children, and you won't even let me do anything to maintain it. Of all the children, I feel the most indebted to Xiao Ce. I'm always afraid that I haven't made up for it enough, and now I'm doing all this for nothing. What am I getting out of this?"
Qin Liang sighed helplessly, "That's not what I meant. What are you thinking?"
"Then what do you mean? Xiao Ce's matter has escalated to this point, and it's not just my responsibility. Now you think we can't let things continue like this, but what were you doing in the beginning? Now that things have gotten so big, you want me to handle it? How am I supposed to handle it?"
Qin Liang opened his mouth, but before he could speak, Wang Yu said again, "I understand now. In this family, I am the most superfluous person. Whatever I do is wrong. Since that's the case, I will not care about anything in the family from now on. You can do whatever you want."
After saying that, Wang Yu left in a huff.
After she returned to her room, her initial sadness quickly vanished, replaced by anger.
She never expected that Qin Ce would trace her back to her so quickly.
Although he didn't expose her directly, he had already given Qin Liang an ultimatum.
It's not too late to stop now; otherwise, things will get messy for everyone.
Qin Liang's attitude clearly showed that he had already backed down.
How could Wang Yu not be angry?
But she had no way to solve it.
She used Shi Yi to release those photos, intending to make Shi Yi a scapegoat so that even if Qin Ce found out, he would suspect Shi Yi.
But unexpectedly, Qin Ce still managed to find out everything in the end.
Wang Yu knew that if this matter wasn't stopped, Qin Ce wouldn't come to Qin Liang next time, but would come directly to her.
She couldn't afford to have too much of a falling out with Qin Ce right now, and Qin Ce understood that a complete breakdown in their relationship wouldn't do him any good.
Even if it weren't for his own sake, he had to consider Qiao Xing, who was far away in Chongqing.
So Qin Ce gave her a chance.
However, Wang Yu did not feel defeated because of this. Qin Ce was a person with a weakness. People with weaknesses will always make wrong judgments in many things.
After Han Yan learned that Qin Ce had gone to the Qin family, he waited for Qin Ce.
As soon as he returned, Han Yan couldn't wait to ask, "Did you confront your father? How did it go? Did he admit it?"
Qin Ce said, "Do you think he'll admit it?"
Han Yan pursed his lips, thinking about it, and realized it made sense.
Even if the evidence is thrown in Qin Liang's face, he will always find a hundred reasons to exonerate himself.
Han Yan said, "Now it's basically confirmed that Wang Yu did this through Shi Yi. She initially thought that Shi Yi would release those photos so that she could take the blame later, but she didn't expect that Shi Yi was cunning and kept all the photos in her possession."
"But Shi Yi didn't know that Wang Yu had secretly contacted Tan Yongye and asked him to cooperate with Shi Yi. Tan Yongye had the resources of several media outlets, and Tan Yuwen was Tan Yongye's daughter. Shi Yi certainly wouldn't have any doubts and thought that Tan Yongye was doing it for his daughter, so she really released those photos."
"Shi Yi, that girl," Han Yan sighed. "You could say she's stupid, since she knows how to play me; but you could also say she's smart, since she's just average. She'd be sold out without even realizing it."
The ins and outs of these matters have been clarified, and Qin Ce already had a clear understanding of the situation before Han Yan even finished investigating.
That's why he went to the Qin family.
Whether it was Wang Yu or not, this serves as a warning to Qin Liang.
If Qin Liang were smart enough, he would know how to handle the situation.
However, these were all Qin Ce's family matters, so Han Yan didn't say much. He asked Qin Ce, "What about Shi Yi and the Tan family?"
Shi Yi was indeed a scapegoat, but if she hadn't harbored those thoughts herself, she wouldn't have let Wang Yu succeed.
Knowing full well that this incident would damage Qin Ce's reputation, Tan Yongye still dared to let the media make a big fuss and keep creating scandals.
Han Yan thought these people were incredibly stupid; they really thought their little tricks would make Qin Ce suffer.
If Qin Ce could really suffer losses in this kind of thing, he would have been killed by Qin Liang countless times already.
After pondering for a moment, Qin Ce said to Han Yan, "The project has just started, so Tan Yongye can't be touched yet. Let Tan Yuwen teach him a lesson. As for Shi Yi..."
When Shi Yi was mentioned, Qin Ce frowned. This Shi Yi had disguised herself very well from the very beginning.
Judging from the last time Han Yan dealt with the photos, she is someone who is good at leaving herself a way out and does not let anyone notice.
She was made a scapegoat by Wang Yu without realizing it, but that doesn't mean Shi Yi wouldn't find a scapegoat for herself.
Han Yan's claims about Shi Yi were all inferences. Even if he really knew that Shi Yi was involved in this matter, if he really investigated, he would find that this matter was actually done by a completely unrelated person.
Even if this person doesn't exist, Shi Yi will still pin the blame on someone else.
