Trying to morally blackmail him?
Shen Chaoxi smiled slowly. He had no morals and wasn't afraid of being criticized. "Auntie, they have parents and you as a relative. It's not my place to raise them."
"And why should I support them? Just because you tried to take over our house before?"
“Nephew-in-law, we’re all relatives, don’t speak so harshly. Who wants to take over your house? Do you have any evidence?” Aunt Xu cried, her eyes pleading as she looked at the reporters.
Seeing this, the reporter felt pity and immediately spoke up for Aunt Xu, saying, "Mr. Shen, everyone praises you as the most successful entrepreneur in Nancheng County and a well-known philanthropist. You're so wealthy, why are you unwilling to help these two children?"
"I'm so rich, that's my money too. Why aren't you willing to help these two children?" Shen Chaoxi retorted sharply, leaving the reporter speechless.
Wasn't he the one asking the question? Why are you asking him the same question?
Shen Chaoxi spread his hands and laughed, "Look, you yourself are unwilling to help these two children, so why ask me to do it?"
“Mr. Shen, I’m not like you. I’m not as rich as you,” the reporter said dryly.
"Just because I have money, does that mean I should help them? Does that mean if you have money in your pocket, you should share some with me too?" Shen Chaoxi sneered, completely unconcerned that his words would cause a huge uproar.
"If we're not going to help, we're not going to help, and it won't matter who says it."
"If you feel sorry for these two children, you can help them yourself. Don't try to morally blackmail me."
"I am only moral towards society, not towards those with ulterior motives."
Shen Chaoxi's remarks stunned the reporters; it was the first time they had ever met such a charismatic entrepreneur.
Other wealthy people would agree to the project temporarily, even if it was just for the sake of appearances.
This guy, on the other hand, directly confronted the media reporters, completely disregarding the critical gazes of others.
Seeing that Shen Chaoxi's remarks were becoming increasingly explosive, Xu Nian quickly stepped forward and pulled him back, signaling with her eyes for him to stop talking.
If his words were maliciously edited and embellished, wouldn't he be seen as a heartless rich man?
Although neither of them was afraid, it wouldn't sound good if people talked about it, and she didn't want him to be criticized.
He should stand in the sunlight, enjoying the flowers and applause of others, instead of being despised and scorned. She should be the bad guy.
A gentle smile appeared on Xu Nian's pretty face.
When she saw Aunt Xu, she trembled, and fear and sorrow enveloped her.
Soon her eyes were wet, and tears slid down her face and dripped onto the ground.
Before she could speak, tears were already streaming down her face.
Aunt Xu can cry, just like she can.
When the neighbors saw that Xu Nian was such a gentle and kind person, and that she still reacted the same way to her second aunt after so many years, they immediately chimed in to support her.
With each word spoken, they exposed all of Aunt Xu's past misdeeds to the media reporters.
This includes her breaking into the house while Xu Nian and his wife were away, stealing their bicycle, television, and radio, and selling them.
If Xu Nian hadn't been kind-hearted and hadn't held a grudge, Xu's second aunt's family wouldn't have been able to afford a meal.
The media reporters' eyes lit up immediately when they saw the sudden change in the situation.
He had already planned out how to edit the film while it was being shot.
Such a dramatic reversal makes this issue of the Orchid Society's newspaper quite interesting.
When Aunt Xu realized that feigning pitifulness was useless, she immediately started yelling. She pointed at Xu Nian's nose and cursed, "Pah! Heaven has really opened its eyes. It's no wonder that you two wicked couple can't have children. It's no wonder that no one will take care of you in your old age."
Shen Chaoxi couldn't stand this insult. Just thinking about that dream and that the culprits who hurt Xu Nian were Xu's second aunt and her family made him want to tear them apart.
His Niannian was so young, she left him for only two years, and was killed by this family. I have no idea what kind of despair she went through.
"Auntie, you have two sons, won't you have no one to take care of you in your old age and see you off when you die?" Shen Chaoxi sneered sinisterly.
Her gaze fell on the two children behind her, and she said something that made Aunt Xu want to vomit blood. "Auntie, you don't know, do you? Your two precious grandsons dropped out of school a long time ago. You worked so hard to earn money to support their schooling, and they turned around and used that money to join the underworld."
“Look at their arms, how many holes they have from needle pricks, and look at how malnourished they are, yawning all the time.”
"Tsk tsk! These two kids are such a failure in their upbringing, is there any point in me helping them?"
"You surnamed Chen, what nonsense are you spouting? My two precious grandsons both came back with perfect scores on their tests just two days ago!" Aunt Xu said, afraid that no one would believe her, and took out the test papers and certificates she had prepared beforehand.
Aunt Xu had never been to school, but she knew that excellent grades would make her more popular with others.
Everyone fell silent when they saw the test paper and certificate in Aunt Xu's hand, and looked at her with pity.
"Grandma, let's go back!" The two children were just of middle school age, but they had a lot on their minds.
Seeing that things were about to be exposed, their first thought was to pull Aunt Xu away.
"My dear grandsons, don't be afraid. Grandma will back you up. No one can wrong you." After comforting her two grandsons, Aunt Xu shouted at Chen Chaoxi.
Let her rant and rave; one phone call and she'll be crying!
The people from the juvenile drug rehabilitation center arrived quickly. After exchanging a few words with Shen Chaoxi, they surrounded the two children.
"Grandma, save me!" The cries for help from her two grandsons threw Aunt Xu into a panic. She shielded the children behind her like a mother protecting her own.
No matter how much she tried to stop her, she was still taken away.
Aunt Xu felt like the sky was about to fall.
More than ten years ago, his two sons went missing, and a few years later, his two daughters-in-law abandoned the children and ran away.
She raised her two children with great difficulty, and now she's going to be arrested and locked up.
Why is her life so miserable!
"You surnamed Shen, give my grandson back!" Aunt Xu picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at Shen Chaoxi.
She blamed everything on Shen Chaoxi.
If it weren't for him, the house left by Xu Nian's parents would have been hers.
If it weren't for his appearance, his family would be very wealthy, and his two sons wouldn't have needed to go out to work. Their whereabouts remain unknown to this day.
If it weren't for him, her two beloved grandsons wouldn't have been taken away.
When faced with Aunt Xu rushing up, Shen Chaoxi protected Xu Nian and kicked her to the ground.
The teeth-grinding "snap" sound was exceptionally crisp, so loud that anyone nearby couldn't hear it.
Aunt Xu clutched her thigh, rolling on the ground in pain and wailing, still cursing Shen Chaoxi with foul language.
Xu Nian couldn't stand it anymore and told the security guard at the gate to take off his socks and gag Xu's second aunt.
