Apart from a few necessary directors, there was a new member added to the inspection team for Huazhi Lake, and the name was written in an extra note in fountain pen.
Shen Ximan.
Bo Siming sneered. "I knew he'd do this."
This way, he had a plan in mind.
Naturally, he wouldn't touch this document. There were so many informants in the company. It was quite possible that the assistant just now was also one of Bo Jingyu's men.
But as long as that woman was around, he could come up with a scheme. He didn't believe that Bo Jingyu was truly in love with this woman.
Yancheng Hospital.
Yang Wan was happily flipping through the bustling news on the Internet, smiling from ear to ear. People passing by cast frequent glances at her.
"Can you be a bit more reserved?"
Shen Yuliang stubbed out his cigarette and said displeasedly.
"Can't I be happy that that girl is being cyberbullied?"
"Your daughter is still lying inside! Is it appropriate for a mother to be grinning outside the ward?"
Only then did Yang Wan wake up. She shyly pursed her lips. Afraid that he would nag again, she quickly changed the topic. "It was a great help from Siming this time. Should we hold a party to thank him?"
Shen Yuliang gave her a sidelong glance. "You want to hold a party while Yu'er is sick? I used to think you were a smart person. Why are you so muddle - headed now?"
After saying that, he turned around angrily and left.
She bit her lower lip aggrievedly and mumbled, "This is not okay, that is not okay. Only you have a temper, only you are well - informed!"
Suddenly, the ward door opened.
Shen Shiyu's pale face showed as she weakly called out, "Mom."
"Oh! Why did you get up? Quick, go back to bed and lie down."
She pushed away Yang Wan's arm and shook her head. "I want to go out for a walk."
"It's cold outside. Your body hasn't fully recovered yet. Don't..."
Shen Shiyu rudely interrupted. "I want to go out!"
Unable to contend with her stubbornness, Yang Wan had to give in. Along the way, passers - by whispered to each other, heads close together.
"Isn't that the eldest daughter of the Shen family?"
"Yes, the one who cut her wrist because she couldn't bear the blow from her younger sister's incident."
Yang Wan heard these favorable comments and suppressed her excitement with difficulty. But Shen Shiyu didn't care. Such fickle public opinions were too insignificant and of little use. She needed substantial reasons, something that could hit the nail on the head.
"Mom, I feel so uncomfortable."
Yang Wan was stunned for a moment and immediately stopped. "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
"In my heart. My heart aches so much."
Suddenly, Shen Shiyu sat on the ground and complained tearfully.
"I've been so good to my younger sister. Why is she repaying me like this?"
"The second young master is the type of man she fancies. She schemed against me and married him secretly! Now she's even framing me!"
Such a genuine outpouring of emotions changed the passers - by's views.
It turned out that there was such an unspeakable family secret in the Shen family. If she hadn't really experienced these things, how could she tell it so vividly?
Shen Shiyu signaled Yang Wan with her eyes. As her own daughter, Yang Wan surely understood the message at a glance.
"My poor Yu'er. You've really been wronged."
She wiped away a tear. Looking at the passers - by who showed sympathetic looks, she trembled her lips and said, "Just because we are Ximan's step - mother and step - sister, she's been torturing us for more than a decade!"
Everyone gasped.
"God, why didn't you report this to the news?"
"Yes, expose her ugly side!"
Shen Shiyu shook her head with tears in her eyes. "I'm afraid she'll do something even more heinous. I've been enduring for so many years."
"Expose her! She must be severely punished!"
A man volunteered to fight for justice and incited many people. They were all like "holy virgins".
Such a commotion in the hospital naturally attracted onlookers.
Click, click. A few photos were taken and uploaded to the Internet.
The tear stains on Shen Shiyu's face hadn't dried yet. Tears were still dropping to the ground, but she was actually quite elated.
She didn't believe that this time it wouldn't have an impact on Shen Ximan.
As night gradually fell, the black sky was like ink. There wasn't a single star twinkling in the sky. Dark clouds loomed densely, making the atmosphere extremely oppressive.
"Yu'er, do you think the show we just put on will work?"
Yang Wan asked while peeling an apple.
"Why didn't Siming come to see me?" Shen Shiyu stood coldly by the window, looking at the leaves rustling in the wind outside.
"He came. He came yesterday and helped us a great deal!"
"Didn't you watch today's live - broadcast? That ugly girl's face was exposed. Everyone is on our side."
She walked over with the apple smilingly and handed it to her. "With our perfect acting just now, inciting public opinion will definitely work."
"No, it's not enough."
Shen Shiyu shook her head and murmured. "Where's my phone?"
"… It's in the cabinet. I'll get it for you."
Yang Wan watched her mood swing erratically and felt a bit scared for no reason. If she went crazy again like before, as a woman, she really didn't know what to do.
As soon as Shen Shiyu got the phone, she immediately called Bo Siming.
But after more than a dozen calls, none were answered.
"Siming! Siming, it's Yu'er. Just now I did something you'll never expect. Please call me back, okay?"
Shen Shiyu still didn't give up and sent voice messages on the chat interface.
"Siming, I miss you so much. Can you come and see me today?"
Yang Wan watched this go on for a long time.
She took a few dazed steps back, opened the ward door, and hid outside.
"How has she become like this..."
Just then, Shen Yuliang came back. Seeing her absent - minded look, he frowned and quickly stepped forward.
"What's wrong?"
"Yuliang, Yu'er seems to be mentally abnormal."
His eyes widened in surprise. He stretched his neck and peeked through the glass on the ward door.
Inside, Shen Shiyu was like a possessed person, laughing one moment and crying the next, chattering into the phone for a long time.
Instead of being shocked, Shen Yuliang laughed out loud.
"Your daughter is in such a state and you still have the nerve to laugh!" Yang Wan angrily slapped him on the back, with tears welling up in her eyes.
"Didn't you cause quite a stir just now? Why do you still care about this? If it can be used, then use it."
After saying that, he took out his phone, filmed a short video, instructed his subordinates to edit it carefully, and then anonymously posted it on the Internet.
Shen Yuliang smiled sinisterly. "This is called killing three birds with one stone."
Within a single day, three heavy - hitting headlines occupied the top positions nationwide.
Those in the dark licked their fangs, waiting for the storm mixed with sharp blades to strike after the calm.
Bo Siming was waiting for the Huazhi Lake project to collapse. The Shen family was waiting for Shen Ximan to be completely disgraced so that Shen Shiyu could take advantage of the situation.
In Hengsheng Hotel, Bo Yanhai was just slightly drunk.
The relatively harmonious atmosphere suddenly dropped a few degrees. Those rich young men took off their masks one by one and showed their true natures.
"Old man, you still have the mood to drink here?"
A rather well - dressed young man came over with a sneer. He didn't even use a proper address and just said bluntly.
