Chapter 33: The Mysterious Heir of the Shen Family

"What? It's reversed?"

"Looking at how Yang Shuhua is so angry that her veins are popping, it's nine times out of ten true."

"The truth is actually like this? My God! If this were me, let alone thirteen slaps, 33 wouldn't be too many!"

"... In front of so many reporters, she shouldn't be lying. This matter has really reversed!"

At this moment.

The number of people in the live stream has already exceeded 1 million+, and it is still soaring rapidly.

After a pause.

Yang Shuhua raised her head, her gaze sharp as she looked at the camera.

"Ms. Li Xinran, I apologize to you for hitting you, but in front of so many people, do you dare to answer me one question?"

"While having a boyfriend, you still knowingly acted as the 'other woman' and openly destroyed someone else's family. As an artist, do you still have any sense of shame?"

This sentence from Yang Shuhua directly flipped the entire public opinion.

The audience who had originally flooded into the live stream came to watch Yang Shuhua make a fool of herself.

But they didn't expect the truth to be so explosive!

"This Li Xinran actually dared to play me for a fool!"

"We were all used by her. A legal wife hitting a mistress is only right and proper!"

"Looks like she wasn't hit enough, not hard enough. If it were me, I'd definitely slap her awake!"

"..."

The public opinion in the live stream instantly turned against her.

Tong Yue's face was as black as the bottom of a pot; she gripped her phone tightly, wishing she could crush it.

"What is going on?"

Tong Yue's gaze swept over, cold as frost, as she looked at Li Xinran, "Why didn't you tell us in advance that you have a boyfriend?!"

"And, is it true that you seduced someone else's husband?"

Tong Yue suppressed her anger, took a deep breath, and said in a low voice: "Do you know that once labels like 'cheating' and 'knowingly acting as the other woman' are attached, for a female artist, that means her future is ruined!"

"Why didn't you say such an important thing!"

Tong Yue was furious.

Just last night, she felt that Li Xinran was a promising new star and felt that Lin Yeman's judgment was indeed good.

But looking at it now, she was simply a piece of trash! What a useless teammate, she couldn't be carried at all!

Li Xinran clearly hadn't expected this either.

That Yang Shuhua would choose to solve the problem by exposing herself.

Even putting aside all her dignity, holding the determination to make her family scandal public and become a laughingstock, just to hold such a press conference.

Originally, Li Xinran felt that her own methods were ruthless enough.

But compared to Yang Shuhua.

That was simply a drop in the bucket.

"I didn't cheat, she is lying."

Li Xinran bit her lower lip tightly, her peripheral vision glancing at Shen Huai.

But clearly.

Compared to this press conference that shocked the entire internet, this sentence seemed so pale and powerless.

"I believe you, but what's the use?"

Tong Yue was so angry her brain ached: "Even if you scream until your throat tears now, others won't believe you."

"You know what level Yang Shuhua is at, don't you? For her to be willing to lose face and gamble half her life's reputation to hold this press conference, she clearly made all the preparations."

Tong Yue's words were heart-piercing, leaving Li Xinran speechless and deflated.

"Then... what do we do now?" Jiang Xinxin asked, somewhat at a loss, "Should we continue to follow Ryan's promotion?"

"Follow it now? Do you have a brain?" Tong Yue glared at Jiang Xinxin.

On her usually arrogant face, a rare trace of helplessness appeared.

Shen Huai looked at the stifling atmosphere in the office.

He felt inexplicably guilty in his heart.

Right now, only the fact that Li Xinran has a boyfriend has been exposed, but his identity has not yet been dug up.

Looking at Tong Yue's expression, which looked like she wanted to eat someone.

If she finds out from the media that Li Xinran's boyfriend is him, wouldn't she skin him alive? Should he... "surrender" now? Shen Huai and Li Xinran exchanged a look, and he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

This Lin Yeman still hasn't made a move.

She was probably also caught off guard by Yang Shuhua's sudden maneuver.

With things having developed to this point, no one can be relied upon.

Only self-rescue.

Thinking of this, Shen Huai rubbed his brow, took a deep breath, and decided to come clean to Tong Yue about being Li Xinran's ex-boyfriend.

Anyway, it's already like this, there's nothing left to hide.

Shen Huai took a few deep breaths, walked up to Tong Yue, and hesitated before speaking: "That... actually...""Team Leader, look at this quickly!"

Before Shen Huai could finish, Jiang Xinxin exclaimed again.

Tong Yue was startled, her face twitching as she threw a sharp look over: "Always so jumpy, can you be more steady? What is it again?"

"Hot... trending search..."

Jiang Xinxin stammered for a long time, unable to say a complete sentence.

Tong Yue walked over in a rush, looking at Jiang Xinxin's computer screen.

She saw that at the top of the trending list, a strange topic was hanging there:

#Shen Corporation's Only Son Li Xinran (Explosive) "Shen Corporation?" Tong Yue's brows tightened, "Could this Shen Corporation be the Shen Group that ranks first on the list of wealthy entrepreneurs?"

Hearing this.

Shen Huai almost lost his seat, his heart skipping a beat instantly.

"Yes! That's the one!" Jiang Xinxin was so excited she was speechless, screaming until her voice almost cracked.

Tong Yue clicked in quickly with the mouse.

The first things to come into view were some blurry photos.

In the photos, a man faced the sea, his back to the camera.

The girl beside him turned around coquettishly, facing the lens.

In the sunset glow, the two figures looked very pleasing to the eye and well-matched, full of youthful vitality.

And this girl was none other than Li Xinran! The rest of the photos were much the same, all group photos from different angles and in different settings.

The only similarity was that the man in the photos never once showed his face.

Tong Yue looked at the trending topic, her expression dazed, and she looked at Li Xinran with suspicion.

Rumor had it that the Shen Corporation's only son had always disliked cameras and had never appeared in any public setting.

Even his name had been deliberately hidden by the Shen Family.

The purpose was out of protection for him.

In short, this Shen Corporation's only son was extremely mysterious.

He was completely clean on the internet, without a single trace.

Seeing these photos, Shen Huai was completely bewildered.

Weren't the people in these photos him? He remembered these photos; they were taken by his mother when she took him traveling.

When the photos were taken, he was alone.

How was it that now, next to every photo, there was an extra Li Xinran?

What on earth was going on???

"Is what you have with the Shen Family's only son true?" Tong Yue shot a sharp look at Li Xinran.

"The Shen Family's only son?"

As clever as she was, Tong Yue had guessed most of it from that one sentence.

It seemed that Lin Yeman had made a move.

Li Xinran glanced at Shen Huai from the corner of her eye.

Shen Huai also had the surname Shen, so even if she nodded, it wouldn't count as lying.

After all, she hadn't asked her whether this "Shen Family's only son" referred to the only son of the Shen Group or a son of the Shen Family.

And so.

Li Xinran nodded vaguely: "... Mm."

Seeing Li Xinran's hesitant expression.

Tong Yue simply assumed Li Xinran had some unspeakable difficulty, and rubbing her temples, she spoke: "No wonder you wouldn't say; was it the Shen Family putting on the pressure?"

"... You could say that." Li Xinran replied with a guilty conscience.

"It seems you are quite well-liked by the Shen Family." Tong Yue rested her chin on her hand, contemplating as she said this.

Once these words were out, they actually left Shen Huai stunned.

Huh? His father was flying in the sky all day; he probably didn't even know who Li Xinran was, let alone care about such messy affairs.

But now, it was no longer a matter of what he thought.

The son of the richest man caught in a romantic scandal—these keywords alone were enough to attract everyone's attention.

Moreover, Shen Huai discovered a key point.

This report only mentioned "the Shen Family's only son" without specifically naming him.

In other words, his identity had not been exposed.

The person who wrote this report just wanted to use the title "Shen Family's only son" to stir up trouble.

Shen Huai's eyes darkened.

The person capable of doing such a thing.

Besides Lin Yeman, who else could it be?
