Zou Wei, being well-informed, immediately called Wen Shu's cell phone, saying, "Zhong Wanwan has been arrested!"
Wen Shu gripped the phone tightly. "Why was she arrested?"
"According to the inside information I received, the main issue is a counterfeit ring. However, I heard that the police recovered Zhong Wanwan's phone and unexpectedly discovered the Golden Top Club incident..."
Wen Shu closed her eyes immediately. What she hated most about Zhong Wanwan was the Golden Top Club incident.
Zhong Wanwan used Rou Rou to lure her to the Golden Summit, intending to ruin her life.
What she hated most was that Zhong Wanwan dragged her flesh into it!
"Thank you, Editor Zou!"
"I should be thanking you. You were the one who risked your life to infiltrate the counterfeit operation, hoping I would dig deeper, but the article never got published. Luckily, neither of us gave up!"
After hanging up the phone, Wen Shu covered her mouth, laughing through her tears.
Grandma came in from outside and looked at her with a puzzled expression: "Are you crying or laughing?"
Wen Shu looked up at her grandmother, tears welling in her eyes but a smile on her face. "Grandma, I'm crying tears of joy!"
Grandma took the green beans and put them in the pot to tidy up, looking at her with a worried expression, "You've been staying at home for three days now, not going to work. Do you think the company will be happy about that?"
Wen Shu laughed and said, "My boss called me specifically to give me sick leave. If I didn't take it, wouldn't I be too ungrateful?"
She was in an exceptionally good mood, her swollen feet propped up on the coffee table as she helped her grandmother prepare green beans.
Just then, the half-closed courtyard gate creaked open, and Su Ying stood at the gate with a tense face. "Wen Shu, you're not answering my calls anymore?"
Wen Shu replied, "My phone is set to block spam calls, so it seems you've been automatically flagged as a spammer by my phone."
Su Ying stood in the courtyard. "Tell me, what do you want in return for signing the letter of understanding?"
Without even looking up, Wen Shu replied, "The entire Zhong family lined up in my yard and kowtowed, admitting their mistakes..."
Su Ying's expression changed. "Don't go too far!"
Without looking up, Wen Shu finished speaking, "...I won't sign any letter of understanding either."
Su Ying's face turned green immediately.
Grandma looked puzzled: "What letter of understanding?"
Wen Shu explained, "Her stepdaughter, a highly educated returnee from overseas with extremely high standards, committed a criminal case. It involves me, so if she gets my letter of forgiveness, her sentence will be lighter."
Su Ying's face was ashen. "Wen Shu, leave some room for maneuver. You've gone too far. Aren't you afraid the Zhong family will punish you?"
No sooner had she finished speaking than Wen Shu suddenly slammed the green beans she had just broken into the basin.
She suddenly stood up, strode up to Su Ying, grabbed her by the collar, dragged her to the front door, and shoved her outside.
"I'm going to go all the way!" Wen Shu said through gritted teeth, "Do you think Zhong Wanwan is showing me mercy?"
“Let me tell you, the reason I’m still alive and my family is safe and sound is not because Zhong Wanwan is soft-hearted, but because your overseas-educated stepdaughter can’t beat me.”
“If I go easy on Zhong Wanwan today, she will retaliate even more fiercely tomorrow. Since the Zhong family refuses to let me go, I will deal with them one by one.”
Su Ying's face turned pale with anger. "Wen Shu, you've gotten too cocky!"
“Yes,” Wen Shu said readily, “I haven’t laughed this happily in a long time. What should I do?”
Su Ying gritted her teeth and said, "What exactly do you want?"
Wen Shu replied, "Let Zhong Wanwan receive the punishment she deserves."
How much money do you want before you sign the letter of understanding?
"Even if you give me ten million, plus the entire Zhong family kneeling before me and kowtowing to admit their mistakes, I still won't sign!"
After Wen Shu finished speaking, before Su Ying could react, she took a step back and closed the iron gate.
Su Ying stood outside the door, her heart aching with anger.
"Wen Shu, you'll regret this!"
There was no answer from the courtyard, but water suddenly gushed out from the crack in the iron gate, spraying Su Ying all over.
"ah--"
Wen Shu shouted through the door, "Get out!"
Grandma stood at the second gate, her expression one of deep sorrow.
Wen Shu looked up and saw her grandmother's expression, and she fell silent.
She had no feelings for Su Ying, but Su Ying was, after all, her grandmother's daughter.
Wen Shu felt a little regretful, "Grandma..."
Grandma waved her hand, "I'm fine, you don't need to be polite to her, she's just heartless..."
As Grandma spoke, she turned around and went back to her seat to continue picking green beans.
Wen Shu pursed her lips, took a deep breath, and changed her shoes. "Grandma, I'm going out for a walk."
Wen Shu found Su Ying's car on the road outside the residential area.
She knocked on the car door. "Get out."
Su Ying got out of the car with a cold face. "What? Want money again?"
Wen Shu laughed out loud, "I was going to give you a chance, but after hearing what you said, I suddenly realized that you are not worthy of any sympathy at all."
After saying that, Wen Shu turned and left, saying, "You deserve it!"
Su Ying glanced around, gritted her teeth, and chased after him: "What exactly do you want?"
"I want you to kneel down and call me 'Dad,' will you?"
Su Ying grabbed her, "Wen Shu!"
Wen Shu reached out and shook her off, looking at her with a cold smile, "Since you're asking for a favor, then act like one. When you marry into the Zhong family, are you stepping into the ranks of a princess?"
“I don’t mind if Zhong Wanwan’s stepmother comes to my house and makes a scene, and if she doesn’t sign a letter of understanding, I’ll let the Zhong family deal with me. I’ll expose that too.”
She deliberately waved the phone's recording interface in front of Su Ying.
"I'd like to see how you, the stepmother who volunteered to shoulder the Zhong family's hopes, will end up like this!"
