The person who immediately disagreed with calling the police was Chen Shuhua. If this matter were to blow up and get out, the impact would be too great. Where would he put his old face if word got out? Of course, when Fang Jiwei heard that Shen Huai'an wanted to call the police and notify the entire Shen family, he was also the first to disagree.
He knew his son's character all too well.
This matter is definitely related to his son to some extent; no matter what, the Fang family can't extricate themselves from it.
If Shen Er informs the Shen family, then the Shen family will definitely not let this go easily.
As the head of the Fang family, Fang Jiwei did not want this matter to strain the relationship between the two families.
The Fang family has just secured a new project and has only just established a relationship with Shen Er. There will be many more opportunities for their two families to cooperate in the future.
Having spent so many years navigating the business world, Fang Jiwei is naturally more thoughtful than the average person. He is not only Fang Ze's father, but also the head of the Fang family, and he must put the family's interests first.
Fang Jiwei glared at Chen Shuhua, the culprit behind this, then gritted his teeth and lowered his stance, saying to Shen Er, "Shen Er, don't call the police yet. This matter concerns the reputation of our three families. If we call the police, the media will come running. The fewer people who know about this, the better. Besides, Wanxing has some defects. If this gets out of hand, people will inevitably point fingers at him. Right now, countless people are waiting to see us make a fool of ourselves. We absolutely cannot let them have their way."
“Chen Er, listen to me. My son brought this on himself. I don’t blame anyone. If anyone is to blame, it’s some people who are greedy for profit and can even use their own flesh and blood.”
"He doesn't have much ability, but he used his wife and children to climb to a position that doesn't belong to him. He will fall down one day."
Fang Jiwei did not name names, but everyone knew immediately that he was talking about Chen Shuhua.
"Please feel free to ask for compensation for the second-instance incident, but please don't let this matter alarm outsiders."
Fang Jiwei just wants to keep Chen Er calm right now. Not long ago, the Fang family seriously explained everything to the public at the press conference and distanced themselves from the Chen family. They finally managed to escape from the center of public opinion.
Mrs. Fang obeyed her husband, but when she heard him say he would compensate Shen Er, she immediately objected.
She stepped forward, grabbed Fang Jiwei, and loudly questioned him, "Are you crazy? Our son is still lying inside unconscious. As his father, not only do you not fight for justice for him, but you are also helping outsiders to talk about our son. What kind of father are you?"
Madam Fang, with tears streaming down her face, questioned Fang Jiwei. Even though she was a wealthy and noblewoman who always maintained an elegant and dignified demeanor, she rarely remained calm when it came to her son's affairs.
Fang Jiwei glanced at her and immediately pushed her away: "This is the consequence of your spoiling him. As the future heir of the Fang family, he can't do anything outside and only causes trouble for the family. I think he's getting harder and harder to manage as he gets older. Does someone like him deserve to inherit the future family?"
"He only hangs out with trash. I never agreed to his marriage with Chen Xueping in the first place, but you kept trying to bring them together. Now look what happened, he almost married an illegitimate daughter and our family has become the biggest joke in the whole of Jiangcheng. I really don't know what's wrong with you."
Upon hearing these words, Madam Fang turned pale. After the uproar at their engagement banquet, Fang Jiwei no longer wanted to marry into the Chen family. However, she couldn't resist her son's persistent pleading and, feeling sorry for him, agreed to the marriage. In the end, it became a laughing stock among the wealthy and powerful.
Mrs. Fang wept uncontrollably, clutching her chest as she sat helplessly on a bench outside the emergency room.
Chen Shuhua's expression grew increasingly grim; he knew Fang Jiwei was mocking him.
Even though Chen Shuhua harbored resentment, he had to suppress it and continued, "Mr. Fang is right. Shen Er, you can't just make a big fuss about this. How will my son be able to hold his head high when he goes out in the future?"
Shen Huai'an, who had been silent all along, suddenly laughed. "Chen Shuhua, don't you think what you're saying is a bit ironic?"
"What right do you have to say these things here? As Xingxing's father, you orchestrated all of this. Don't you feel guilty and ashamed?"
"I can stop you from calling the police, but I only have one condition: you have to return the shares of Chen's Group that belong to Xingxing to Xingxing, and you have to acknowledge Chen Xueping and Xu Feng's identities in front of the media."
Upon hearing this condition, Xu Feng's face contorted with rage. "Chen Er, you've gone too far! Don't push your luck!"
Xu Feng has been the rightful Mrs. Chen all these years. She is a person with influence in the wives' circle. If she admits to being a mistress, how will she ever be able to hold her head high in the wives' circle again?
Chen Shuhua was nearly breathless at Shen Huai'an's conditions. He steadied himself and asked, "How did you know about this?"
"Never mind how I know, Mr. Chen, do you agree to my current terms?"
Fang Jiwei quickly stepped forward to help, saying, "Of course we should agree. Chairman Chen, Lin Wanxing is your son anyway, so you'll have to give him to him sooner or later. I think Shen Er's condition is very reasonable."
"That originally belonged to Xingxing. It was left to Xingxing by her mother. Now that Xingxing has grown up and gotten married, you should return the share that belonged to Xingxing, or do you want to keep it for yourself?"
Shen Huai'an's words struck a chord with Chen Shuhua, who looked at Shen Huai'an hesitantly.
Xu Feng narrowed her long, narrow eyes slightly. How could she let that fool Lin Wanxing divide up the group? Everything belonged to her daughter. Lin Wanxing had long been excluded by them.
Xu Feng said earnestly to Shen Huai'an, "We've raised him for so many years, and we've spent a lot of money on his illnesses over the years. Now that the group is in trouble, we're all family, so why are we pressing him at this time?"
Xu Feng is a woman who loves to lie through her teeth. She keeps talking about being family, but why would a family do such disgusting things?
Shen Huai'an had never seen such a shameless person before. He clenched his fists, his narrow eyes slightly raised, and his gentle gaze slowly cooled down.
Shen Huai'an said, "I think you know better than I do how Wanxing got sick. If Chen Xueping hadn't pushed him and caused him to fall and damage his brain, how could he have become like this? You ruined what was originally a bright and clever child. You even pretended to be kind and virtuous, but in reality, you hated Xingxing to death. You secretly locked Xingxing in the attic and wouldn't let him see a doctor, which caused his condition to get worse and worse."
“Originally, Xingxing and I were engaged. At that time, I was at the height of my career and was the second most promising man in Jiangcheng. So you tricked Xingxing and your daughter into switching the engagement. Later, I had an accident and fell into poverty. You were in a hurry to switch the engagement back. But the illegitimate daughter took advantage of the situation and changed the engagement time and time again.”
Shen Huai'an showed no mercy in exposing their masks.
