Su Nanqing smiled self-deprecatingly. The familial love she had once believed in was actually the beginning of her destruction.
From now on, it wouldn’t matter anymore whether Tang Wanying believed her or not. It had nothing to do with her.
How her four brothers and Gu Yushen were destroyed by Song Nanfeng and Song Jiaqi was no longer her concern.
After being reborn, she only had two goals.
First, to build her career. Second, to protect her most important grandfather and three brothers.
But before that, she needed to kick Shen Muqing, that good-for-nothing, to the curb.
Meanwhile,
The person Tang Wanying had sent to tail Song Nanfeng reported back.
Song Nanfeng had gone to the company and hadn’t gone anywhere else.
She also had a technician hack into Song Nanfeng’s phone. It was clean—aside from contacts from work and family, there were no lovers or anything of the sort.
Upon receiving the news, Tang Wanying felt so furious she could tear Su Nanqing in half. Because of Su Nanqing’s words, she had been restless for days.
As expected, that wretched girl never changed. Initially, she had considered letting Su Nanqing stay in an old, dilapidated house on the outskirts of the city after her divorce, since she had nowhere else to go, planning to take it back once Su Nanqing remarried. But now, it seemed unnecessary.
A daughter who wished misfortune upon her own mother—Tang Wanying decided she would never care about her again. Feeling guilty, she even forgot about arranging another paternity test.
Thinking about her suspicion toward her husband, she felt deeply remorseful. In the days to come, she would make it up to Song Nanfeng.
Outside the room, Song Nanfeng narrowed his eyes, watching as Tang Wanying finally stopped suspecting him and even wore a guilty expression. Satisfied, he quietly slipped away and went downstairs.
What Tang Wanying didn’t know was that the people she had hired were actually his. Over the years, his people had thoroughly infiltrated the entire Tang family.
The Tang family was already in his grasp.
The Song family was of humble origins. Back then, he had married Tang Wanying relying on his looks and that incident. Since husband and wife shared honor and disgrace, he had lived a comfortable life ever since.
One foolish daughter, four foolish sons, and a foolish wife—he would eventually send them all packing together.
He knew Tang Wanying’s temperament. Once she suspected him, she would treat him especially well in the following days to ease her guilt.
Thinking of this, Song Nanfeng hummed a cheerful tune as he went downstairs.
Song Jiaqi was already prepared for the banquet, waiting for Gu Yushen to pick her up. Today, she was in high spirits as well.
She would get to see Su Nanqing kneel and apologize publicly, and her selfless act of saving Madam Shen would further boost her reputation, paving the way for her entry into the entertainment industry.
She smiled and asked, “Dad, what has you so happy?”
Song Nanfeng gave an adoring smile, his joy growing as he looked at his beautiful daughter. “Good news. Let’s go, your mother is coming down. We’re heading to the banquet to watch Su Nanqing kneel and beg for mercy. Gu Yushen isn’t coming here; he’ll meet us directly at the venue.”
Song Jiaqi smirked maliciously. Tonight, she had paparazzi ready to trample Su Nanqing straight into hell.
Online, the uproar was intense. Everyone was scrambling to find a way into the banquet to witness Su Nanqing’s public apology.
To break into the entertainment industry, Song Jiaqi had been carefully crafting her image. Now, she was somewhat famous—known for her kindness and gentleness, and as Gu Yushen’s girlfriend.
She was the hottest topic with the most buzz, while Su Nanqing was the most vilified, accused of even trying to steal Song Jiaqi’s boyfriend, Gu Yushen.
The online criticism grew increasingly harsh.
In the car, Gu Yushen sat with imposing presence, dressed in a dark suit that seemed barely able to contain his perfect physique.
He was browsing the news, his sword-like eyebrows deeply furrowed and his entire body radiating hostility upon seeing Su Nanqing being torn apart by online insults.
His assistant Xue Qing was driving.
Having also seen the online controversy and remembering Su Nanqing’s past kindness to him, Xue Qing couldn’t help but ask: “Zongcai, should we suppress this news?”
