Chapter 787

She had originally thought that Shu Xia was coming to beg her.

As it turned out, when she opened the private message, what she saw was Shu Xia's incredibly tough attitude.

——Ms. Qin, I believe you are very clear about the truth of what happened between you and my brother that day. If this is all because of the car accident between you and me not long ago, I will definitely make Ms. Qin regret what she has done today.

There was no desperate pleading, nor any sign of weakness.

Qin Wei's face turned dark instantly.

"This Shu Xia, relying on the fact that she has hooked up with Qiao Muting, dares to call me out and even threaten me? Does she really think that I, having grown up in Jing City, was scared into growing up?"

Upon hearing this, the manager walked over and looked at Qin Wei's phone.

Seeing Shu Xia's private message, the manager felt a thud in their heart, "Um, should we hold back a bit? Stop while we're ahead? This Shu Xia, I just feel she isn't just saying things; to be able to get plastic surgery to look like this and also catch Qiao Muting's eye, she definitely has means."

"What is there to fear? Isn't she just a mistress kept by Qiao Muting? The car accident we had last time already made me lose enough face. A few days ago, someone even asked me about the situation of the car accident; they must have been laughing at me behind my back. I, Qin Wei, have never suffered such a grievance. Besides, it's been so long, Qiao Muting should be tired of her by now. So, what do I have to fear? If she had just begged me earlier, maybe I would have let Shu Chen go." Qin Wei curled her lips, looking as if she didn't take Shu Xia seriously at all.

The manager listened to Qin Wei's words and felt it made sense.

"You're right. Someone like Qiao Muting only treats a girl from an ordinary background like Shu Xia as a plaything; it's absolutely impossible for him to treat her sincerely. But you are different."

Qin Wei's red lips curled up, "You're right."

Time passed very quickly.

It was already dark outside.

Ren Fangming looked out the window again.

The reporters below were only increasing in number.

Then he scrolled through Weibo again, as well as various messages he had just received on his phone, "Several brands that were collaborating with us have now issued statements and terminated their cooperation with you. Sigh."

Ever since Shu Xia came, they had been thinking of ways together.

Shu Chen's Weibo was controlled by the company, so they couldn't even post a statement to defend themselves.

He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, but both Shu Chen and his sister looked very calm, especially Shu Chen's sister, who had even already contacted a lawyer and was making a series of inquiries with the police.

Since the company had already taken control of Shu Chen's Weibo and wouldn't give Shu Chen a chance to speak, a lawyer could do it.

At this moment, they were waiting for the lawyer to finish drafting the lawyer's letter.

Although a lawyer's letter might not attract much attention and might not change anything, they had to try regardless.

"Qiao Muting has already arranged the public relations side, we just need to wait a while." Seeing the exhaustion between Shu Chen's brows, Shu Xia walked over and said softly to Shu Chen.

Shu Chen felt particularly guilty, "Xia Xia, I didn't expect Second Brother to drag you into this."

As far as Qiao Muting was concerned, Shu Xia's maiden family did not have a strong enough background to begin with; if they brought in all sorts of trouble, it would definitely annoy him.

This was also the source of his guilt.

If it affected the relationship between the two of them, he would be even more ashamed.

"A family is meant to face things together, and besides, this matter was never Second Brother's fault to begin with," Shu Xia said immediately.

She felt that Qin Wei's heavy-handed attacks on Shu Chen this time might be because of the previous car accident.

She and Shu Chen were siblings; as long as someone with intent looked into it, they could find out.

Otherwise, there were no such coincidences in this world.

Ren Fangming stood far away and didn't hear what the two siblings were saying.

He was preoccupied with what else could be done at this time, while some seniors had already begun to advise him to stop having any illusions.
