Chapter 1046: Cleaned Up Completely

Mrs. Chen: "Everyone, please don't be formal, make yourselves at home."

Having stayed in an environment of over forty degrees Celsius for several hours, the appeal of ice cream and iced fruit juice to everyone was obvious.

Just as people were burying their heads in eating, the reporter sitting at the very edge felt their sleeve being tugged.

He turned his head, and Mrs. Chen gave him a wink, meaning for him to follow her!

He understood, quietly put down his bowl, and followed Mrs. Chen inside.

Study.

She closed the door.

Mrs. Chen was all smiles, but she didn't waste words, directly taking out a bright yellow gold bar: "At the press conference in a while, I ask that you please be a little lenient."

"No, no, Madam, this is absolutely not allowed."

"Accept it. Everyone else has one too; if you don't keep it, you'll be at a disadvantage. Besides, you've already come in with me; even if you don't take it, others will think you did. Might as well take it."

If it were reporters from A Country, perhaps this tactic wouldn't work.

But they were reporters from their own country; Mrs. Chen knew in her heart that everyone was used to this, and it was nothing strange.

"Even if you don't accept it, others will think you did. Isn't that a loss?"

That person hesitated slightly, then thanked her and accepted it.

Mrs. Chen followed the same pattern, maintaining the same attitude toward everyone.

Of course, not everyone would accept the gold bar, but having some accept it was enough.

Afternoon.

Hilton Hotel.

Mrs. Chen's press conference officially began.

"Everyone, I am issuing a statement. Recently, there have been many voices slandering me. I did not speak out some time ago for the sake of my husband and my family."

"My silence was only for the purpose of protecting my family; it does not mean I can be slandered at will. I do not know the person reported in the newspaper. I have never used my husband's authority for personal gain or done anything outside the scope of his power..."

Mrs. Chen spoke eloquently, her words full of righteous indignation.

She didn't mention a single word about her stepson and stepdaughter, let alone speak ill of them.

The reporters' questions were also much gentler, picking only trivial things to ask.

The press conference was very successful.

Although it was still impossible to prove Mrs. Chen was innocent, there was also no evidence to prove that she was the one who instigated this!

Because her posture was so high, many people began to feel that this matter had nothing to do with her.

Soon, different voices began to appear on major online forums, and these voices grew louder and louder.

Mrs. Chen was successfully whitewashed.

L Country.

Shi Youxuan sat in front of the television watching the entire press conference, and she called her husband: "The person who could come up with this idea must be Chen Ran; it wouldn't be Mrs. Chen."

"Yes, I think so too. This kid is not simple; he is more insidious than his father and brother."

Shi Youxuan: "Don't tell me you don't have a countermeasure."

Sheng Hanyu: "I do."

"You don't need to worry about my side. How are things on your end?"

Shi Youxuan: "Almost finished. It's a bit tricky here, but I'll come back once it's resolved."

Sheng Hanyu: "Take extra care."

Shi Youxuan: "Mm, don't worry, I'm fine."

Things were indeed trickier on her side, not because the situation was dangerous, but because it was disgusting.

Liu Fengchao had strong professional capabilities, and under Sheng Hanyu's training, he also had a set method for managing employees.

He had corrected many of the shortcomings he used to have, but there was one flaw he could never change—he was a lecher!

Many so-called successful men like to use the presence of beautiful women around them to flaunt their success. Sheng Hanyu was an exception, but Liu Fengchao could not avoid the convention.

His wife was too ugly to be brought out in public.

He had once kept her by his side for a period of time, but whether it was at social occasions or just sitting at home, she always felt like she couldn't be presented in polite society.

This feeling grew stronger as he earned more and more money.

Later, Liu Fengchao sent Jiang Siwei back to Jiangzhou.

She was willing, too; she felt great lording it over others in Jiangzhou, and her husband gave her plenty of household money every month. Her former neighbors, friends, and companions didn't know how envious they were.

And with Liu Fengchao alone outside, his wife not by his side, he was free and unrestrained, constantly changing the women around him, of every style imaginable.

If you walk by the river often, how can you not get your Spring Shoes wet?

This day, trouble happened.

A lover's husband came to his door, slapped their explicit photos on the desk, and told him to deal with it!

If he couldn't satisfy him, he would make this matter known to everyone, making it impossible for Liu Fengchao to stay in Dingsheng, and making it impossible for Dingsheng to stay in L Country.

It was just money, after all.

He used his own way of solving problems, offering to pay to resolve the disaster.

After all, it had always been solved this way, but this time it wasn't so easy to resolve; the other party's husband didn't want money, but demanded he give up the market south of the Wei River.

Liu Fengchao:...

The profit of the market south of the Wei River was too high; it was simply not something he could decide, and even if he could, he wouldn't dare!

Although Liu Fengchao was a lecher, he was not a fool; he knew in his heart what could be done and what could not.

He had been set up, and this kind of thing was hard to talk about over the phone, so he called the Chairman, begging for rescue, begging for help!

He hadn't expected the Chairman's Wife to come, and on the first day Shi Youxuan arrived, he hadn't had the nerve to say anything.

The reason was very simple: the Chairman's Wife was his wife's cousin.

This kind of thing was already unfair to his wife, and now it was also unfair to her cousin; furthermore, while men might understand a man's romantic debts a bit better, it was hard to say when the person handling it was the Chairman's Wife.

He delayed for a day, but on the second day, he still had to speak.

After he finished speaking, he was naturally scolded.

After scolding him, the matter still had to be resolved, so Shi Youxuan told him to give her the woman's address and information!

Liu Fengchao stood before her with his head lowered, his voice as soft as a mosquito's hum: "I, I don't know where she lives; ev, every time we met, it was at my place."

"What does she do for a living? What is her name? What is her family background?"

It was not at all surprising that Liu Fengchao shook his head at all three questions; he knew nothing.

Shi Youxuan reprimanded him: "You usually seem quite smart, so why does your IQ drop to zero the moment you encounter a woman? It was fine that you didn't know anything before this happened, but now that such a serious matter has occurred, you still don't know anything?"

"Are you in league with that person, trying to scam Dingsheng?"

"I wouldn't dare. I would absolutely never betray my own side; I wouldn't have such thoughts. If I thought that way, let heaven strike me down with lightning."

Liu Fengchao swore and took an oath, firmly refusing to admit it.

Shi Youxuan said: "Then tell me everything. Don't tell me half and hide the other half, otherwise I can't help you."

His face immediately flushed red, and he looked conflicted, yet he still gritted his teeth and held out, refusing to speak.

"You're not going to say it, are you?"

Shi Youxuan stood up: "Whether you speak or not is your freedom, but I have already thought of a solution. I will have someone buy a plane ticket; you pack your clothes and prepare to return home to reunite with your wife and children."

Liu Fengchao was shocked and turned pale: "You want me to return to the country? No, I can't go back now. If I go back now, I'm dead."

Shi Youxuan said: "No, you're overthinking it. Based on my understanding of my cousin, she will definitely have a good cry by herself, then swallow all her grievances, and continue to wash your clothes and cook for you, acting like a drudge."

He shook his head like a rattle-drum: "No, that's not what I meant, it's..." When it really came to the critical moment, he got stuck again.
