"That's not your fault. It's an honor for Wang Fang to be your substitute. Who told her to be so foolish? And her two children are ungrateful. They're nowhere near as well-behaved and sensible as our Yifan."
Every time Chen Shiming saw his wife looking so guilty, he felt heartbroken.
It was his momentary lapse of judgment that led him to find a substitute, which resulted in Wang Fang usurping the position of Mrs. Chen for so long.
Even the wealth and glory that should have been Yifan's have been monopolized by Chen Quan and Chen Jiao for so long.
"Don't worry, Chen Quan and Chen Jiao won't be coming back. If they dare to show up, I'll send them to see Wang Fang so that they can be reunited."
When Chen Shiming said this, it was as casually as eating or drinking.
Wang Menglian and Chen Yifan, however, believed it; the Chen family dealt with others in such a simple way.
Moreover, since Chen Jiao and the other person have Chen family blood, it's even simpler.
Wang Menglian wanted them dead, but her face showed a look of shock.
"Isn't this a bit inappropriate? Shiming, they are your children after all."
"Hmph, what child? Fool, I only have one child, Yifan. Besides, I did a good deed, reuniting them as mother and son. They should thank me."
Chen Shiming smiled and embraced Wang Menglian.
What they didn't see was that a small camera was pointed directly at them, and one of the Chen family's bodyguards was someone they had never seen before.
However, the bodyguards were all wearing sunglasses and suits, and since there were many Chen family members, they naturally went unnoticed.
Song Yun felt disgusted when she saw the video that was sent to her.
However, he also got a clear look at the situation inside the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall.
He saved the video, and after weighing the options, he immediately had all the dirt on Chen Yifan and the Chen family released.
Of course, no videos about the evil spirits and the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall were released; only the audio recordings were released.
Soon, the following appeared on Weibo: Chen Yifan – the young master of the Chen family in Shanghai;
Chen Yifan is the son of a mistress;
Chen Yifan's mother is the white moonlight of the CEO of the Chen Group;
Chen Yifan's father hired a body double, which drove the person to their death;
Looking at these trending topics, Song Yun saw that anything with Chen Yifan's name on it quickly climbed to the top spot, no matter what it was.
Song Yun was puzzled and said to Assistant Yang:
"No need to spend money to buy trending topics."
Assistant Yang looked completely bewildered:
"I didn't buy any trending topics, so why are they all trending?"
Song Yun was surprised to find out that it wasn't something he had bought himself. He clicked to see why.
Inside, passersby were initially puzzled as to who Chen Yifan was, and then some people praised his good looks.
Looking at that ordinary face, and then at Assistant Yang, Song Yun suddenly felt that Assistant Yang was a hundred times more handsome than him.
It seems netizens these days are really hungry; they'll eat anything.
Seeing that Song Yun was still looking at him, Assistant Yang thought he didn't believe him and immediately said:
"It's true, Mr. Song. You know I don't have any money."
Song Yun: "Alright, I believe you."
After thinking about it, I wondered if it was because the salary he was paying was too low? Why would Assistant Yang say he had no money?
Never mind, I'll bring it up with him later. Although he's not very smart, he'll be working under Assistant Xu, the CEO, anyway, so he won't affect me.
Song Yun opened Weibo to continue reading. Sure enough, Chen Yifan's fans started to defend him. As long as someone dared to say anything about Chen Yifan, these fans went crazy and posted hundreds of insults.
One person simply commented that the stand-in was pitiful, and was so criticized that they deleted their account.
Song Yun immediately thought of the protagonist's halo mentioned in novels, and it seemed that Chen Yifan had a halo around him.
Nothing can affect him; in fact, it might even make him more famous.
Soon, a famous musician recognized his talent and directly invited Chen Yifan to participate in their music variety show.
The comments below were overwhelmingly praising Chen Yifan.
Even with irrefutable evidence, no bystander dared to say anything; these fans were acting like madmen.
"Never mind that for now, just let me know when he's going to be on a variety show."
Song Yun said to Assistant Yang.
Meanwhile, Assistant Yang saw a trending topic with very low popularity on Weibo's local hot search: "The man who bumped into Chen Yifan's fan jumped off a building."
"Mr. Song, take a look at this."
He clicked on it, and the video showed the man who had bumped into the fan at the airport that day. The man looked like a walking corpse, his eyes filled with despair, sitting on the rooftop.
A chorus of curses erupted from below.
Someone shouted, "If you're going to jump, then jump! You don't deserve to live!"
"Jump! Jump now! Your younger brother is studying at Peking University, right? Jump down, or we'll go find your brother."
"Hahaha, why bother looking for his brother? This kind of person isn't even worthy of licking our older brother's feet."
"Like father, like son. What good can the younger brother of such a person be? He's supposed to be studying at Peking University? I don't think he deserves it."
Scrolling further down, the comments were all abusive, with some people photoshopping funeral portraits and others sending wreaths.
The video does show someone delivering a wreath downstairs, as if that person had done something that would incur divine wrath.
Then came another trending topic: a man looked down as if he was about to send a message to his younger brother, and was rescued by firefighters at that very moment.
Then, a large group of people started hurling insults, and this time even the firefighters who rescued people were included in the insults.
Song Yun frowned slightly, not understanding what was wrong with this world.
This trending topic has low engagement, so only Chen Yifan's fans are criticizing it.
After seeing the firefighters being verbally abused, some passersby finally dared to speak up, but they were all defending the firefighters.
Shen Bai carried Da Er out to play in the yard. There was no danger in the Bai family, so Song Yun did not stop them.
However, Shen Bai jogged back the next moment, said nothing, went to the tool shed, grabbed a shovel, and left.
"What's wrong, baby?"
Song Yun put her phone away and immediately followed Shen Bai.
The child was carrying a heavy shovel. As if the shovel was too heavy, he simply put it on the grass and dragged it away.
The little white dog behind him hopped and skipped along, following its young owner as if it had discovered some treasure.
Shen Bai didn't turn back and kept walking.
[There's something bad.]
He finally found the bad stuff and was going to dig it out.
Bad stuff?
In order not to reveal his mind-reading ability, Song Yun could only keep quiet and follow Shen Bai.
"Shall I get this for you? Where does the baby want to go?"
He took the shovel from Shen Bai's hand. Fortunately, the shovel handle did not have barbs, so it must be a tool commonly used by gardeners.
Shen Bai pointed in a direction.
"there."
He picked up the little white dog again and led Song Yun toward a corner of the yard.
Song Yun looked in that direction and saw a place emanating black energy.
