Chapter 43: Because of Ugliness, Shame
Junzi Wanwan: What's wrong with this platform? In this scientific age, they're actually promoting feudal superstition? Streamers like this should be banned as soon as possible!
Junzi Wanwan: I don’t understand the mentality of those who give tips. This kind of trick is obviously a scam to steal people’s money. It’s better to use this money to be filial to your parents!
Junzi Wanwan: Am I the only one who thinks this anchor looks weird? She also speaks strangely and is always being mysterious. This kind of anchor is not good for the growth of teenagers, so I reported her. Is there anyone else who has the same problem?
There were also two newly registered small accounts that constantly insulted her and took the lead in reporting her.
Since the barrage of comments refreshed quickly, the comments from their accounts did not cause any stir.
Five minutes later, Shen Zhiyi's live broadcast ended successfully.
When Shen Wanjun saw the words "Live broadcast ended", she felt that there was a lot of anger in her heart that could not be released.
"Why do you look like that? Who made you angry?" Mother Murong Xu sat down with the cut fruit.
Shen Wanjun said: "Mom, Shen Zhiyi is promoting feudal superstition on the live broadcast platform. You must control it, otherwise our family will lose face because of her."
Murong Xu didn't care much: "It's just a small matter. She doesn't know much. Why bother with her? Don't get yourself angry. It's not worth it."
This made Shen Wanjun feel a little better. She understood what her mother meant. She probably meant that Shen Zhiyi was not very talented and could only do these things to enrich her life.
She asked, "Mom, do you think Dad will agree to our request?"
Murong Xu said, "His opinion is not important. You were the one who fell in love with Xiao Lanting first. No matter what, Mom will help you become the Third Young Master of the Xiao Family."
"But Shen Zhiyi..."
"I'm her mother. I'm the only one who can make the decision on marriage matters. Don't worry."
Shen Wanjun came up to massage her back and said with a smile, "Mom is still the best."
"That's right. I raised you from childhood to adulthood. If I don't treat you well, who else can I treat well? Even though your sister is also my daughter, she's not close to me, so I don't count on her anymore."
At this point, Shen Wanjun thought for a moment and asked, “Mom, was she really abducted by human traffickers?”
"Of course!" Murong Xu gritted his teeth.
Shen Wanjun: "Actually, I heard your conversation with Dad that night."
Murong Xu was stunned.
Before returning home, she called Shen Anxing.
The main purpose was to inform him that the mother and daughter would come back to live permanently.
During the call, he heard that his second daughter had been found, and he also knew her secret.
She was quite emotional at the time and spoke loudly.
I thought my daughter didn't hear it, but I didn't expect she did.
"Mom, just tell me straight, how did she end up wandering around for twenty years?"
"What do you mean by wandering? Someone is taking care of her!" Murong Xu was obviously unwilling to admit it. After a while, she said, "After I got pregnant with her, my relationship with your father broke down. I wanted to have an abortion and divorce, but your father wouldn't let me. In the end, I gave birth to the child, but it turned out to be an ugly baby."
"Ugly?" Shen Wanjun thought of Shen Zhiyi's face and said, "Although she is not as pretty as me, she is not ugly either."
"When she was born, she was incredibly ugly. She had a red birthmark on her face, and everyone said it would never heal. If I kept her around, it would have caused gossip, especially from my sworn enemy who was always looking for evidence to use against me to make fun of me. I nearly got depressed because of this. After much deliberation, I decided to give her to the Taoist priest at Xianyun Temple to raise. I knew your father wouldn't agree, so I told him the child was abducted."
Her eyes were cold, and there was no trace of regret when she spoke of this.
Shen Wanjun thought: “She will definitely hate you.”
"Hate her if you want, but I don't expect her to support me in my old age. It's just right that I don't have to invest any feelings in her, so I can focus on raising you."
She didn't want to discuss this further, so she quickly changed the subject: "Does Lan Ting still remember what happened last time?"
Shen Wanjun was melancholy, and a deep sigh came out. "I'm not angry, but that incident completely destroyed the impression of me in his mind. Even if I try to make up for it afterwards, it's useless."
In the first few days after returning to China, Murong Xu was eager to achieve success and wanted to use the same method she used to deal with other men to deal with Xiao Lanting. In a fit of rage, she put something in his wine and made him drink a few more glasses of wine while he was in a state of confusion, hoping to make the matter a fait accompli for her.
No one expected that Xiao Lanting, who was rumored to have a poor alcohol tolerance, would remain sober the whole time and even discovered their tactics.
Thinking about it now, Meng Wanjun feels infinite regret.
Xiao Lanting was the man she fell in love with at first sight, a man she could never forget. She pursued him not only to establish herself in Nandu's elite circles, but also to make up for the regrets of her youthful lack of affection.
Murong Xu frowned. "Didn't I take on everything? How could he, a man who clearly distinguishes between public and private matters, blame you?"
Meng Wanjun's brows were etched with unbreakable sorrow, and she said weakly, "It's not that I blame him, it's just that I can't get close to him. When it comes to official matters, I can still talk to him for a few words, but when it comes to personal matters, I'm even worse than his secretary."
Not to mention, Shen Zhiyi.
"Don't panic. If a direct attack doesn't work, we'll take a different approach. As long as the result is the same, the process doesn't matter."
Meng Wanjun remembered something and asked, "You mean, let's deal with his mother first?"
Murong Xu said, "I've investigated thoroughly over the past two days. It's not easy to approach his father, so I won't consider it for now. Let's start with his mother first."
She pulled up the photos in the album and said, "I'll find a chance to meet her mother. As for you, start with your work and get his uncle and his family on board."
When a family of three appeared in the photo album, Meng Wanjun was surprised, "Boss Qin?"
Qin Yong was one of the clients she had been targeting in recent months. Having just joined Huasheng, she not only brought in technical expertise but also wanted to secure a group of high-profile clients to demonstrate her capabilities weren't limited to software development. This would allow her to gradually move into Xiao Lanting's inner circle and even into core management.
But Qin Yong was only kind in private, but in official business he was very stern and unyielding. She had started to contact him when she was abroad, but she had never met him in person.
"Mr. Qin is Xiao Lanting's uncle?" This is such a coincidence.
Murong Xu nodded: "Yes, and the Qin family is a newly wealthy family in recent years. They are not as cold and arrogant as the Xiao family. It will be easier to start with them first."
Meng Wanjun's eyes rolled, and suddenly she remembered something.
"Speaking of Qin Yong, I have something on him."
"What a coincidence?" Murong Xu's eyes sparkled.
Meng Wanjun said, "I've been sending people to keep an eye on him. Some time ago, he went on a business trip to Guishui City and met a beautiful woman in the hotel where he was staying. In the middle of the night, he went to her room and stayed there for an hour before coming out. This happened for three consecutive days."
"That's perfect. Take the evidence and go talk to him. He's a henpecked husband and definitely doesn't want his wife to know about this."
