These rumors definitely didn't come out of thin air. And what about this supposed confidante surnamed Liang? Could she be referring to Liang Xinrong? I did have a relationship with her, but that was many years ago. Why are there sudden rumors that we conspired together? Could Yang Cui's kidnapping be related to her?
Lin Shikang suspected Liang Xinrong and was thinking about how to verify with her when Liang Xinrong's people secretly came to see him and asked him to find a way to resolve the matter as soon as possible. Only then did Lin Shikang realize that it was indeed Liang Xinrong who did it!
But now Lin Shikang doesn't know how to solve it either!
Lin Shih-Kang began to reflect on whether he had made a mistake this time.
Fortunately, Chen Shaoyun had already returned to Beijing; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
As for the money, Yang Cui and Su Murong must know where his money came from, and he must find a way to make the money legitimate.
...
The scene of Lin Shikang storming off at the Star Gazing Tower was seen by onlookers as a sign of guilt, which made everyone think that Lin Shikang was a gigolo. They all pressed Su Murong to ask where Lin Shikang's money came from. Was it given to him by the Ji family, who committed suicide?
“The Ji family is dead, where would they get the money for him? I think it was given to him by that Liang woman who was his confidante.”
"That's possible."
Who exactly is this confidante surnamed Liang?
"Some people say it's someone from the Liang family in Hufang."
"Liang Baozhong is in charge of the county's household registration and is indeed wealthy. I just don't know which of the Liang family's daughters has an affair with Lin Shikang."
"It can't be Liang Baozhong's granddaughter. The oldest of Liang Baozhong's granddaughters is only ten years old. I think it's more likely to be Liang Baozhong's daughter..."
...
Inside the restaurant, guests enjoyed their food while gossiping.
Rumors that Lin Shikang and his confidante surnamed Liang conspired to frame Yang Cui quickly spread.
Soon, this confidante surnamed Liang was identified as Liang Xinrong, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Wan family!
It was also said that Liang Xinrong wanted to break off her engagement with the Wan family in order to be with Lin Shikang. However, because Lin Shikang's family background was too poor and he was already married, the Liang family forced them to separate.
The rumors spread like wildfire, eventually claiming that Wan Simin and Wan Side were actually Lin Shikang's children and not Wan's children at all. It was also said that Wan Jiahao had been cuckolded and had been raising someone else's child for ten years!
People began to sympathize with Wan Jiahao again.
When Lin Shikang heard these rumors, he was so angry he almost vomited blood! When he was with Liang Xinrong, he never crossed that moral line; at most, they had only hugged a few times.
Yang Cui is really pushing him to his death!
Neither the Wan family nor the Liang family expected to be caught in this media storm.
Liang Xinrong and Lin Shikang had feelings for each other back then, which the Liang family knew. In addition, Liang Hua disappeared because he was doing something for Liang Xinrong, so the Liang family couldn't sit still. Liang Xinrong's mother, Song, went directly to Liang Xinrong's house to find her.
After dismissing everyone around her, Madam Song said sternly, "Xinrong, tell me honestly, are the rumors outside related to you or not?"
Facing her mother, Liang Xinrong did not hide anything and told her the truth about how she dealt with Yang Cui.
"Are you out of your mind!" Madam Song pounded her chest and stamped her feet in anger. "Yang Cui is just a woman. How dare she go against Lin Tanhua and his entire clan? If she didn't have exceptional skills and a powerful backer, would she dare to do that?"
Madam Song sighed: "Do you know that people outside are saying that you and Lin Shikang have an improper relationship, and that Si De and Si Min are Lin Shikang's children!"
"What did you say?" Liang Xinrong jumped up in surprise.
Liang Xinrong hadn't gone out since returning yesterday, so she was unaware that the rumors outside had reached this point. The servants in the mansion also dared not rashly tell their master what they had heard.
"The Wan family must have heard these rumors too, so you must resolve this issue immediately! If this matter isn't resolved, not only will the Wan family suffer, but our Liang family will also be implicated!"
Liang Xinrong's mind went blank, and after a long while, she stammered, "They have mouths on their own bodies, how am I supposed to deal with them?"
"Go apologize to Yang Cui! Fulfill all her demands! Go shopping, have tea, and eat out with her happily. When others see how well you two get along, the rumors will naturally disappear!"
"I'll apologize to that bitch? Impossible! She's the one who caused all this!" Liang Xinrong exclaimed anxiously.
"Then you can just wait to be drowned by the Wan family!" Madam Song was so angry with Liang Xinrong that she almost vomited blood. "Let me tell you, you caused this mess, and you have to resolve it! If you don't, the Wan family will drown you, and we can only watch! You'd better watch out!"
After saying this, Mrs. Song left in anger.
Liang Xinrong slumped in her chair, not knowing what to do.
At this moment, a servant came to announce that the old lady of the Wan family wanted Liang Xinrong to come over.
Liang Xinrong immediately sensed something was wrong. That old hag had never liked her, and now that such a big thing had happened, she certainly wouldn't let her off easily.
At that moment, Wan Jiahao also returned.
"Husband." Seeing Wan Jiahao approaching with an angry expression, Liang Xinrong felt a little guilty and scared.
"Everyone else, get out!"
Wan Jiahao roared, and the maids and servants immediately curtsied and withdrew.
Liang Xinrong's unease intensified.
After the servants left, Wan Jiahao slapped Liang Xinrong to the ground and shouted angrily, "You bitch!"
"Lin Shikang and I are completely innocent. Don't listen to those rumors outside. That's Yang Cui, that bitch, framing me!" Liang Xinrong cried, covering her face.
“Framed you? See for yourself!” Wan Jiahao threw all the anonymous letters he had received in her face.
Liang Xinrong picked it up and was stunned!
This letter was written to her by Lin Shih-kang before she got married!
