After the two finished their meal, they rested for a while before returning home.
Shen Huai'an couldn't sleep at night, and the more he thought about what happened during the day, the more agitated he became.
Chen Xueping, Chen Xueping, why does this illegitimate daughter always like to jump out and get in my way?
Although Chen Shuhua dismissed the Lin family members, those business partners were not to be trifled with. With the stock price plummeting, no one would invest money in the Chen Group anymore.
The hotel project has been shelved, the Fang family has withdrawn, and even Shen Taimin's new city project has been affected. This project has already started to lose money, and Shen Taimin is now very anxious. He must be going crazy with worry.
With all this happening, the old fogies on the board must know about it. Unless Shim Tae-min embezzles group funds to plug this hole, the project will be completely shelved.
At that point, not only will the shareholders disagree, but even the old lady and the third wife's side won't let it go easily.
The Fang family is now a laughing stock. Mainstream media have been reporting extensively on this wedding that went from a fairy tale to a joke, and the issue of Chen Xueping's bullying has been trending on social media for a long time.
Her princess persona has been shattered; she must be very troubled now.
Lin Wanxing couldn't sleep at all. He lay in bed scrolling through his WeChat Moments and saw a new post: Shen Zhiting had run into Chen Xueping at the Polar Day Bar.
Her WeChat Moments were quite sarcastic; she posted a very short video with the caption, "The purest little princess is here."
Lin Wanxing tossed and turned, unable to sleep. He couldn't fall asleep at all after seeing Shen Zhiting's posts on WeChat Moments.
He suddenly felt like going to a bar to join in the fun.
But it's really late now, and Lin Wanxing can only lie in bed bored.
He fell asleep while counting.
The first thing he did when he woke up the next day was to grab his phone. He saw that the news media were interviewing Fang Jiwei and Fang Shiming.
The two brothers rarely appear in the media together, but given how this incident has escalated, they attended the press conference.
The lights were flashing, and the two people sat there as a group of reporters began asking questions impatiently.
Reporters stood up with microphones and asked questions.
"Chairman Fang, regarding this wedding, has the Fang family been affected by public opinion? What is your opinion on the bullying incident committed by your daughter-in-law, Chen Xueping? Did you know she was an illegitimate child?"
"The wedding didn't go through, will it be rescheduled?"
"Mr. Fang, as the matchmaker for this couple, are you familiar with her background?"
"What is your opinion on the rumors circulating that Mrs. Chen is a mistress who rose to power through adultery? Chairman Fang, could you share your thoughts on this?"
Fang Shiming had dealt with these media outlets for many years, and he knew all too well how tricky their questions could be. So he and his elder brother had long ago agreed on a unified front: deny any knowledge of any sensitive questions and, if necessary, shift all the blame onto the Chen family.
He made a pause gesture, and Fang Shiming said calmly, "My brother and I will answer everyone's questions one by one, so there's no need to rush."
Fang Jiwei rarely appears in public; his younger brother handles the external affairs. He was able to come here this time because the Fang family has recently been subjected to uncontrollable public opinion and rumors, and as the head of the family, he had to appear to clarify the situation.
Fang Shiming glanced at Fang Jiwei, who immediately said seriously, "Regarding the series of events that have recently occurred, I would like to say that the Fang family held this wedding without any prior knowledge of the situation. As elders, we cannot interfere with the relationship between these two children. When their feelings deepened, we naturally agreed to the marriage."
"But we never expected there to be so many hidden secrets we didn't know about. We can't accept someone with such a bad reputation becoming our daughter-in-law."
"Chairman Fang, as the head of your family, what is your opinion on Madam Chen's affair with her husband?" At this moment, a very stylish female reporter stepped forward and asked this question. The reporter looked familiar, and Fang Jiwei took another look at her.
He suddenly remembered that this was the woman who had barged into the wedding to expose the truth. Fang Jiwei never expected that this person would be a reporter.
"I would like to say that such immoral and scandalous things are absolutely not allowed in the Fang family, so the marriage between our two families is completely dissolved."
This interview undoubtedly confirms the affair, the illegitimate child, and the premarital infidelity.
With so many people coming to expose the Chen family, it's really difficult to clarify the situation.
Lin Wanxing stared at the video on his phone for a few seconds, then quickly checked Weibo.
The bullying incident has been reported by various media outlets, and many people are now holding signs outside the Chen Group building, demanding that the Chen Group apologize to the bullied victims.
Chen Xueping doesn't reflect on her actions at all; these things don't even affect her. She still goes to bars, and if things get really bad, she'll just stay home.
Today, my second brother will go to the Fang family to discuss cooperation again. By the time Lin Wanxing woke up, the sun was already high in the sky, and my second brother had long since left.
Lin Wanxing lay on the bed looking at her phone. The girl who had been bullied back then had long since left Jiangcheng. They had taken a sum of money from Chen Shuhua and left the city.
Lin Wanxing obtained the girl's consent before posting the photos and videos. Although the videos were blurred, she was still very sad.
Lin Wanxing picked up a bear-shaped biscuit and bit off the bear's head hard: "What should we do, Chen Xueping? You're really in big trouble this time."
"What should we do? It seems like something's happened to the group too."
"Little princess, what are you going to do?"
Lin Wanxing thought for a moment, then jumped out of bed, put on his clothes, and went downstairs.
"Butler Chen, I'd like to go out and play for a while."
Butler Chen looked at Lin Wanxing and immediately said, "Wanxing, you can't go out to play alone. It's very dangerous."
"But I'm so bored!"
Butler Chen dared not leave Lin Wanxing alone. If something happened to the child, he would have no way to explain it when Mr. Shen returned.
"Butler Chen, when will my second brother be back?"
Butler Chen thought for a moment, "He should be back soon. He'll be back this afternoon. If you're bored by yourself, you can go find one of the servants to keep you company for a while."
Lin Wanxing rolled his eyes and asked, "Where's Sister Xue? Let her play with me. I haven't seen her in a long time."
A strange expression crossed Butler Chen's face. He hadn't expected Wanxing to care so much about Ah Xue. Butler Chen could only lie: "She had to leave because of family matters. Wanxing can find someone else to play with you in the future."
Lin Wanxing nodded obediently: "Okay."
