“You want proof? I have it.”

“I have that!”

“Isn’t it easy to get evidence?”

Shen Ruojing, Bai Shanshan, and Chu Cimo almost said these three lines in unison.

Shen Ruojing raised her brows slightly and looked at Bai Shanshan.

Chu Cimo also looked at Bai Shanshan in surprise.

Bai Shanshan then took a deep breath, summoned her courage, and said, “You have an abnormal relationship with Yan Zijing. You made use of me in order to conceal this fact as well as to exploit my voice.”

Previously, Bai Shanshan hadn’t exposed this matter to the public for Xiaoqi’s sake. But now, Xiaoqi wasn’t his child, so why would the Yan Family’s reputation have any relation to her?

Yan Zihao sneered.

The surrounding neighbors asked, “Who is Yan Zijing?”

Bai Shanshan explained, “She’s his younger sister. She’s also the female singer who debuted with my voice!”

“Huh? He is in a relationship with his younger sister?”

“Heavens, are they that indecent?”

“The relationships in influential families are so messed up!”

“This is really too dirty…”

The people nearby pointed their fingers at Yan Zihao, causing his countenance to change drastically. He said furiously, “Bai Shanshan, what gibberish are you talking about?! I know that I’m usually a little closer to Zijing, and you don’t feel comfortable about that. But how can you talk irresponsibly like that? How can you come up with a lie like this?”

Madam Yan felt embarrassed and was adamant to deny this. “Bai Shanshan, you’ve gone overboard! You’re really going to great lengths to get a divorce! Do you think that people will believe you? What proof do you have?”

Bai Shanshan took a deep breath. She then took out her phone and played a recording. It was the one from when she caught the two of them in the midst of s*x.

“Since you have seen it, we might as well make our relationship public, so we don’t have to keep hiding every time we want to meet.”

“Shanshan, look at your current appearance. How can I be sleeping in the same room as you? I am a man and I have my needs…”

“This is why we didn’t make it public. You will help us keep it a secret too, right? After all, if this matter spread, Xiaoqi would also be affected. When others talked about her, they would all say that she has an indecent father!”

“Bai Shanshan, you should be thanking me for this. If it wasn’t for me, my brother would have looked for another woman. In that case, do you think you can still keep your position as the wife of the Yan Family?”

Back then, Bai Shanshan was utterly devastated, but she still recorded the conversation subconsciously.

It could be her final bit of instinct that led her to do this act as this was something that could protect her own benefits.

After the recording was played, Bai Shanshan looked at Yan Zihao and Madam Yan, asking, “What else do you have to say now?”

The neighbors now believed Bai Shanshan completely.

All of them started to reproach Yan Zihao and Madam Yan.

“You guys are too bad! My god! How can there be such scary people in this world?”

“Were they plotting against Shanshan right from the beginning? Shanshan is too pitiful. But thank goodness the child is Mr. Chu’s. They are considered to have an affinity with each other…”

“Scram out of our district! If you still dare to come and harass Shanshan in the future, we won’t let you off!”

All the neighbors stood in front of Bai Shanshan and Madam Bai to protect them.

This was what people working in the factory were like. Once one of their people was on the side of reason, they’d take the same side to face outsiders although they usually liked to gossip amongst themselves.

Yan Zihao roared angrily, “Bai Shanshan, you b*tch!”

Madam Yan was also infuriated and exasperated. “Bai Shanshan, you ingrate! How dare you set us up like this?! Vixen! Troublemaker! Jinx!”

Yan Zihao and Madam Yan kept on scolding away. However, when they were about to leave sheepishly, Chu Cimo blocked their way. “You aren’t allowed to leave.”

Yan Zihao stood in front of Mother Yan warily to protect her. “What do you want? This is a society that is ruled by law! We didn’t violate the law!”

The things that they had done, including brainwashing Bai Shanshan, didn’t violate the law. These were just things that would subject them to criticisms on moral grounds. Therefore, he wasn’t afraid of the truth.

Things like brainwashing and marriage scam were just Bai Shanshan’s guesses. Even if she could bring out Yan Zijing’s chat records, these recordings were taken when they were unaware and thus could not serve as evidence.

Seeing how arrogant Yan Zihao was, Chu Cimo lowered his gaze and said, “My lawyer is already on the way. Sign the divorce agreement before you leave.”

“…” Yan Zihao wanted to leave, but with Chu Cimo and the neighbors from the same factory blocking their way, he couldn’t do so.

Not long later, the lawyer arrived with the divorce agreement.

Yan Zihao narrowed his eyes.

Madam Yan said, “Look at it carefully. Xiaoqi isn’t our Yan Family’s child, so we mustn’t leave a single cent for her!”

Yan Zihao nodded. “Bai Shanshan, on the account that we were a couple, I won’t be asking you for the child expenses that our family spent on raising her.”

Bai Shanshan only wanted to break free from this scumbag as soon as possible, so she didn’t care about the asset distribution on the divorce agreement. “I won’t ask for anything.”

Yan Zihao took a careful look at the divorce agreement and realized that other than taking her daughter, Bai Shanshan didn’t ask for any other things. Only then did he sign the divorce agreement. “Can we leave now?”

Chu Cimo moved away.

Yan Zihao helped Madam Yan and walked past Chu Cimo. He then said slowly, “It has been so many years and it’s true that I’ve gotten sick of playing with her. I’m now returning her to you. I hope that you don’t mind that she’s secondhand.”

Bang!

Chu Cimo punched Yan Zihao in the face.

Yan Zihao’s face was turned to the side from the impact, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. He then narrowed his eyes and took a step back. “If you make another move, I’ll call the police.”

Chu Cimo stopped.

Yan Zihao grinned then lowered his voice. “Do you hate me? So what if our reputation is destroyed? We’ll just be scolded a little by others. What can you do to us?”

Chu Cimo narrowed his eyes and a dark gleam flickered in them.

He withdrew his hand. “Hmm, it’s true that I can’t do anything to you now.”

After all, they were in public… However, did Yan Zihao think that Chu Cimo was really just a profligate young master?

A hint of killing intent flashed in Chu Cimo’s eyes.

–

Shen Ruojing had hacked into Yan Zihao’s phone long ago and obtained the chat history between him and Yan Zijing. She had initially planned on taking this out as evidence but didn’t expect that she no longer needed to worry for the current Bai Shanshan.

Shen Ruojing’s lips then curled up in consolation. After seeing that everyone had left and Chu Cimo had followed Bai Shanshan’s family back to her house, she knew that they would have things to talk about since the family of three had been reunited.

Hence, Shen Ruojing didn’t disturb them and left.

When she arrived back at the Chu Manor, she saw that a few shareholders from the Chu Corporation had really come to sell their shares. Matriarch Chu was dealing with things cleanly in the living room.

At this moment, Shen Ruojing’s brows were creased as she headed to the study.

The study’s door was open and Lu Cheng was reporting about the problems they were facing. “This wave of shares buyback is still manageable. Our company can still maintain our operations with our circulating capital and not rely on external help. There isn’t a big problem.”

Shen Ruojing couldn’t help but say, “Given Dugu Xiao’s character, joining hands with business partners to apply pressure should be just the first step. He’ll definitely make a bigger move to target the Chu Corporation directly later on.”

The moment she said this, Chu Cichen, who was seated behind the desk, looked up and narrowed his eyes. “What kind of big move do you think he’ll make?”

After giving it some thought, Shen Ruojing said, “He has a vicious and brutal character. I’m worried that he’ll use unscrupulous means and start with internal staff.”

Chu Cichen looked at Lu Cheng. “Prepare twice the number of guards for everyone in the Chu Family.”

“Yes.”

Lu Cheng nodded and then left to make arrangements for this matter.

Although it was easy to ask for double the number of guards, they had to reassign the guards’ work schedules. Furthermore, they didn’t have enough manpower either and would have to transfer some people over from overseas.

After Lu Cheng left, Shen Ruojing also turned, wanting to leave.

During this time, Chu Cichen had kept a distance from her, so she didn’t wish to be showing excessive passion toward a cold person.

However, she had just turned when she heard the man’s deep voice calling. “Miss Shen.”

Shen Ruojing turned around.

Chu Cichen sized her up. “You seem to understand Dugu Xiao very well. Do you know him?”

Did she know him?

Shen Ruojing lowered her gaze, feeling that it shouldn’t be a problem for her to tell him about these things. Therefore, she nodded. “We are considered old acquaintances.”

Old acquaintances…

Chu Cichen suddenly clenched his fists.
