Chapter 1628: Scumbags and Mistresses Are Equally Hateful

Feisu Chinese.

"Let go of me, you're hurting me."

He released his hand, and Tian Yuanyuan frowned, yet she still followed him to a secluded spot.

Tian Yuanyuan said: "Sheng Zihan, if you are trying to plead for that woman, then forget it. I didn't slander her, nor did I spread rumors; I used my own ID, and everything I said is the truth."

Sheng Zihan was in the wrong, so he forced a smile: "That's right, everything you said is the truth, but what you've done has had too great an impact on her!"

"A great impact on her? Heh."

"Isn't that to be expected? All of this is her own doing; she can't blame anyone else."

"Even if I'm begging you, please stop, okay? It is better to resolve grievances than to keep them..."

Tian Yuanyuan seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world.

"Better to resolve grievances than to keep them? Sheng Zihan, are you telling a joke?"

"She used unscrupulous means to snatch my boyfriend, and now you're telling me it's better to resolve grievances than to keep them?"

"Do you know? Do you know how much the kidnapping last time affected me? I don't dare to go out alone after dark now, and I can't sleep with the lights off; I always feel like a monster in the darkness is going to swallow me up at any moment. How are you going to compensate for the psychological trauma she caused me?"

Sheng Zihan still would not give up, wanting to persuade her to change her mind: "I will compensate you. No matter what conditions you propose, I will satisfy them."

"You satisfy them?"

"Hahahahahaha..."

She suddenly burst into loud laughter, as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world.

After finally laughing enough, she said with tears in her laughter: "It's truly funny. My most beloved ex-boyfriend is begging me for the sake of his beloved fairy. Do you think you can resolve this matter?"

Sheng Zihan hardened his heart and said: "I can break up with her and be with you again, as long as you stop hounding Wang Qing, delete the posts, and eliminate the impact."

This sentence was like a knife plunged into Yuanyuan's heart.

That's right, she still loved him so much.

She could be humble enough to accept the love he doled out as charity.

But let Wang Qing go?

She would absolutely, absolutely never agree to that.

"Impossible. Between her and me, it is a fight to the death!"

Sheng Zihan:...

"You must ruin Wang Qing's reputation?"

"This matter was provoked by her in the first place, so she should bear the consequences herself. There is nothing more to say."

Sheng Zihan failed.

It might have been better if he hadn't gone to find his ex-girlfriend; as time passed, the heat of the matter would have faded, and it would have gradually blown over.

But his going there completely enraged Tian Yuanyuan.

She had a talent for writing, and she wrote another post with content that was deeply moving.

Unsurprisingly, it incited the emotions of netizens; a mistress is inherently a creature that everyone shouts to beat and deserves to be punished.

Tian Yuanyuan's post stood on the moral high ground, and Wang Qing was like a rat crossing the street, in a sorry state!

She was arrogant by nature and had poor popularity; now that someone had taken the lead in attacking her, many people couldn't wait to kick her while she was down.

Sheng Zihan's old habit of being overly protective of women flared up again.

He spared no effort to offend everyone for Wang Qing's sake, posting to defend his girlfriend, and then, unsurprisingly, he was scolded as well.

Originally, Tian Yuanyuan hadn't intended to drag Sheng Zihan into it, but he had delivered himself to her doorstep. The netizens treated everyone equally: the mistress and the scumbag were equally hateful—beat him.

The matter blew up and spiraled out of control.

At first, they were just cursing them, but gradually, the tone changed.

Sheng Zihan's background was dug up.

There was a mysterious force on the internet guiding the direction of public opinion, tilting it toward the Sheng Family!

The grievances of the older generation of the Sheng Family were all dug up.

The internet has a memory. Back then, the Sheng Hanyu brothers killed each other, and in the end, Sheng Yukai was defeated and died miserably. Originally, he had brought it upon himself, but under the orchestration of those with ulterior motives, it became that Sheng Hanyu was ruthless and, for the sake of the family fortune, had forced Sheng Yukai into a dead end!

And there was the time he was engaged to Jian Yixin, but ended up marrying Shi Youxuan due to a twist of fate...

Jian Yining liked Shi Youxuan and fought with Sheng Hanyu in public out of jealousy!

But in the end, he married Shi Youxuan's twin sister; her sister was just a substitute, how pitiful...

Their stories back then were complex and bizarre, and many people still had an impression of them. Although the "witnesses" from back then were old, many were still around, and quite a few were being exploited.

For a time, there were all kinds of voices on the internet.

Some said their relationships were chaotic.

Some said the reason the major financial conglomerates' relationships had remained unchanged and stable for decades was because of their intricate and complicated connections!

There were even voices saying that the children of these families had impure bloodlines...

The matter had blown up and completely veered off course!

Everyone was discussing the events that happened to the Sheng Family back then, and the momentum actually gradually overshadowed the matter involving Sheng Zihan and the others.

The stock of Dingsheng plummeted.

The stock of Jian Group plummeted.

The stock of Sheng Group plummeted.

Although the Yun Family wasn't dragged in on the surface, as good friends of the other families and in-laws of the Sheng Family, they couldn't escape either, and their stock plummeted!

It was as if an invisible hand was manipulating all of this in the dark, coming aggressively and full of malice.

In the countryside.

Several luxury cars parked one after another in the courtyard of Shi Youxuan's house; since the courtyard was too small to hold them, they parked outside.

A crowd had gathered around the luxury car.

"Oh my, what did I say? I told you this family had a big background, didn't I? Look at the car parked at their door... it's all eights."

Jian Yixin's license plate number, six eights, was very flashy and very high-profile.

"What's so special about all eights? Do you even know the name of this car? I heard this car is incredibly expensive; if you bumped it even a little, you couldn't afford the repairs even if you sold your whole family."

"Tsk tsk!"

"So rich!"

"It seems their family is the richest in Jiangzhou..."

"Is it that Sheng Family of Dingsheng that's been making such a huge stir on the internet lately?"

The villagers' discussions outside did not affect those inside.

Many people were sitting in the main hall; those who were involved in that matter back then, and those who weren't, had all come.

More people meant more ideas, and having more ideas was always a good thing.

Jian Yixin: "I have already summoned the reporters to hold a press conference this afternoon to clarify what happened back then. I cannot let you bear this unjust accusation; it was all my fault back then..."

The events of the past were like a thorn that could never be digested, forever stuck in her heart.

Whenever someone brought it up, it would sting!

Shi Youxuan interrupted: "Alright! Why bring up such old, moldy history? It's clear that someone doesn't want to see us doing well and wants to stir things up so we become divided."

"We still don't know who is behind this, so we cannot lose our heads."

Sheng Zerong agreed: "Sister-in-law is right. No one should mention the past again. Our task now is to work together and eliminate the influence of this matter as quickly as possible!"

"I don't approve of Yixin holding a press conference; there's no need to explain ourselves to outsiders."

Jian Yining echoed: "Right, brother-in-law is right. I don't approve of holding it either. Holding a press conference would only play right into their hands. We walk straight and sit upright; we have nothing to fear!"
