So, when Peng Chao, in a fit of rage, sent someone to question her, she had already contacted a media team and issued a press release.
This press release was about some details of her relationship with Fang Jiangyi, such as the time of their break - up and the process of their relationship turning sour.
The article had several key points.
First, Peng Shiyi had no idea about Fang Jiangyi's sudden announcement of their break - up a few days ago. She was unilaterally dumped.
Second, Peng Shiyi and Fang Jiangyi broke up because the latter had fallen for someone else and had an affair with Lu Sheng.
Third, it was very likely that Fang Jiangyi's sudden announcement of withdrawing his investment was at someone else's behest.
Fourth, Peng Shiyi didn't blame anyone. After all, she still loved him deeply. She only hoped that from then on, they would be like strangers when they met. They would go their separate ways and find peace on their own.
Compared with Fang Jiangyi's actions, Peng Shiyi's deeds were very likeable. She was simply the perfect ex - girlfriend.
The news came out of the blue. Once it was released, it immediately occupied the headlines of major news and became the most - discussed topic of the day.
Facing Peng Chao's doubts, Peng Shiyi only said coldly, "Your daughter has been bullied to this extent, but all you can think about is still profit. Dad, it was you who told me that one should not be soft - hearted, especially towards one's enemies."
Now Lu Sheng was her biggest enemy.
Sure enough, from the very beginning, she had seen that Lu Sheng had approached Fang Jiangyi with ill intentions and had a hidden agenda. Even though Lu Sheng had denied it, wasn't it a slap in the face that she was now with Fang Jiangyi!
Peng Chao roared, "We've invested so much in Fang Jiangyi. Now that we've finally managed to get some benefits back, you're just giving up on this big tree like that. How could I, Peng Chao, have such a stupid daughter as you? As long as you don't agree to break up and keep pestering him, we'll always have a chance."
Peng Shiyi sneered, "It was you guys who always looked down on Fang Jiangyi and didn't agree to our relationship when I wanted to be with him."
She didn't want to listen to Peng Chao's nagging.
"You don't need to interfere in this matter. Anyway, I won't give up easily. I still don't know what Lu Sheng is up to and how she wants to harm Brother Jiangyi. I'll wait and see. " She coldly looked at the one - sided comments on the Internet. "I was too soft - hearted in the past. Now, Lu Sheng should pay the price for her actions."
Even though Fang Jiangyi had hurt her so much, she still couldn't let him go. She still wanted to find a way to eliminate the crisis around him.
In this world, except for her, Fang Jiangyi probably wouldn't be able to find another person who loved him as much as she did.
As expected, the comments on the Internet were one - sided. Lu Sheng became the third party who had destroyed someone else's relationship. She was cursed, humiliated, and some netizens even posted so - called evidence photos, claiming that she and Fang Jiangyi had had an improper relationship before Fang Jiangyi broke up with Peng Shiyi.
Once the parties involved issued a statement, it was like a solid hammer. People would believe what they saw with their own eyes, and no amount of defense would work.
Yan Xia was quite calm. After all, strictly speaking, Lu Sheng wasn't really herself.
She nestled in Lu Qianzhou's arms, browsing the comments. There were all kinds of vicious remarks.
"Mr. Lu is such a low - key and kind person. How could he have adopted such a shameless daughter? She's almost ruined his reputation. Have some shame!"
"Hehe, I've exposed the improper relationship between Lu Sheng and Fang Jiangyi before. There's solid evidence on my homepage."
"Shameless! A pair of dog - man and woman. Disgusting! May the mistress get hit by a car when going out! May the mistress's whole family die!"
"Why are they all scolding the woman? There's a saying that a fly won't bite an egg without a crack. Why don't they scold the man for having two girlfriends at the same time? If Fang Jiangyi had a proper personal conduct, he wouldn't have unilaterally announced the break - up, would he?"
"So disgusting. It's an eyesore. Goodbye."
Seeing these comments, she actually laughed.
"Third Brother, I really underestimated this Peng Shiyi before." She was a bit confused. "But Peng Shiyi must have been really provoked this time. But why did Fang Jiangyi choose to withdraw his investment now?"
Lu Qianzhou's eyes were clear, "I don't know."
Lu Qianzhou pulled Yan Xia into his arms, "Do you want the legal department to step in and clarify things for you?"
"No need. They won't believe anything I say now. Instead, I'll be scolded even more. Anyway, I don't care about these things. As long as... those people don't find out about you through this."
Lu Qianzhou reached out and rubbed her head. His eyes were dark and unfathomable.
No matter how fast the public opinion fermented and how many unfavorable remarks there were, Yan Xia and Fang Jiangyi didn't respond at all. The company was surrounded tightly. Many media called to interview them, but all were rejected.
Those netizens seemed to have forgotten that when Fang Jiangyi and Peng Shiyi were still together, it was also them who were shouting that Peng Shiyi didn't deserve Fang Jiangyi and that he was more well - matched with Lu Sheng.
On the third day of the public - opinion fermentation, the whole heat had basically subsided.
Just when everyone thought that the so - called guilty man and woman would be cowards and hide until everyone forgot about this matter.
The legal department of Shengshi issued a response on behalf of Lu Sheng.
The end of the article included pictures and recordings. It didn't explain the ambiguous relationship between Lu Sheng and Fang Jiangyi. Instead, it pointed out several previously unexposed inside stories.
First, Peng Shiyi had bribed a certain manager to suppress and frame Lu Sheng when Lu Sheng had just joined Shengshi.
Second, Peng Shiyi had hired someone to smash Lu Sheng's house under the pretext of online violence.
Third, this time, Peng Shiyi had hired someone to kidnap Lu Sheng, intending to ruin her innocence. Fortunately, the attempt had failed.
Each and every incident was supported by pictures, recordings of the relevant involved personnel, and even the transaction records of the bribes Peng Shiyi had given to the murderer.
There was also the proof of Lu Sheng's hospitalization, the description of her injuries in the hospital, and even the police records.
Lu Sheng had not reported these things to the police out of consideration for Fang Jiangyi's feelings. She had just dealt with them privately. But unexpectedly, someone had repaid kindness with ingratitude and even accused her instead. This had had a great impact on Lu Sheng's reputation and mental state. That was why the legal department had issued this statement on her behalf.
It proved her innocence!
No one had expected such a reversal. It was almost one thing after another, making it hard to tell the truth from the falsehood.
Many people didn't dare to take sides easily, for fear of taking the wrong side or another reversal happening.
But the statement issued by the legal department of Shengshi was enough to prove Lu Sheng's innocence. What was most terrifying was that a little girl like Peng Shiyi could have such a vicious mind as to want to ruin another girl's innocence.
If those people had succeeded, what would Lu Sheng have faced?
In this light, there was a reason for Fang Jiangyi to break up with Peng Shiyi. Who would dare to marry a woman with such a vicious and calculating mind?
Peng Shiyi had thought that her plan was flawless, but unexpectedly, these people had connected all the evidence of the previous incidents and used them as evidence to refute her.
Every day, Huahui Wood Industry would receive countless calls from people who wanted to interview Peng Shiyi about this matter.
