Chapter 1629: This Is a Conspiracy

Feisu Chinese.

Yun Zhe Hao said, "Hanyu, what do you say?"

Everyone had been discussing things very heatedly just now, but Sheng Hanyu hadn't said a single word the entire time.

At times like this, he was always the one who spoke the least.

Only when asked did he say, unhurriedly, "Since everyone came from so far away, let's not go hungry. How about a barbecue for lunch?"

Yun Zhe Hao had thought he had some brilliant idea, but it turned out to be just a barbecue.

He was incredibly anxious and couldn't help but complain, "What time do you think it is? You're still in the mood for a barbecue? Unbelievable..."

Something was off.

Halfway through his sentence, a smile appeared on his anxious face.

Everyone else understood, too.

Everyone sitting here today was sharp; the reason they were confused just now was simply because they were too anxious. Now, prompted by Sheng Hanyu, everyone understood in a second!

Much of what was said online was true, but it only covered the beginning, not the aftermath.

The aftermath was decades of days passing like one, with the families getting along as if they were one family.

At a time like this, any explanation seemed pale and weak; it was better to prove it to everyone with facts!

Photos of the families having a leisurely barbecue together were "inadvertently" uploaded to the internet.

The rumors about the major groups being at odds collapsed without a fight!

One day ago.

Sheng Zihan had been scolded by his eldest brother and Zirui, and the three brothers sat together to discuss a solution.

They finally decided—the three brothers would go together to apologize to Tian Yuanyuan.

Originally, the three brothers thought that even if Tian Yuanyuan didn't accept the apology or gave Sheng Zihan a good scolding, anything would do, as long as the younger generation's affairs didn't involve the elders.

When they met Tian Yuanyuan, Zirui acted as the representative and apologized: "I'm sorry, everything that happened between you is Sheng Zihan's fault."

"Today, my eldest brother and I accompanied him here, first to apologize to you. On his behalf, I want to say sorry. You are a sensible girl; can you see if your affairs can avoid involving our parents?"

"This matter has caused such a huge stir now; not only have our parents been affected, but other elders have been affected too. All the faults lie with Zihan; it has nothing to do with the elders..."

This matter had indeed blown up, but none of the three brothers blamed her; they just discussed the facts, hoping to end the matter quickly.

Tian Yuanyuan felt guilty: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect it to be like this either. The elders' affairs weren't caused by me; I knew nothing about it... Even if you hadn't come, I was planning to explain it clearly to you."

"I only exposed Wang Qing's actions; the subsequent development of the situation exceeded my imagination..."

She wasn't lying; it was indeed the case.

There seemed to be a black hand on the internet manipulating all of this—visible but untouchable; no one knew who it was.

Tian Yuanyuan's gaze was open and honest; she wasn't lying, and even if she were, she couldn't possibly know about things from decades ago.

Even the brothers themselves didn't know about those things, so it was even more impossible for Tian Yuanyuan to know.

The three brothers had come over just to find out if that black hand behind the scenes had any connection to her.

If there was a connection, they could follow the vine to find the melon and figure out who that person was.

But they failed; this matter had nothing to do with Tian Yuanyuan.

Zirui asked her if she could delete the original post.

This whole thing started because of the original post; if the original post were deleted, all the comments below it would disappear!

Tian Yuanyuan said, "I've already deleted it. It's been deleted for several hours; if you don't believe me, you can check online."

Sheng Zihan checked, and sure enough, it was true. Tian Yuanyuan had deleted the original post, all the remarks about Wang Qing had vanished, and even he was no longer being scolded.

Now, all the conflict on the internet was directed at the Sheng Family!

The three brothers were at their wits' end, not knowing what to do.

Sheng Zihan asked with a mournful face, "Eldest Brother, Sange, do you think Mom and Dad will disown me for causing such a big disaster? Will they kick me out of the Sheng Family?"

"Yes."

"Entirely possible."

The brothers didn't offer a single word of comfort; they only added insult to injury.

Real brothers: they'd go through fire and water for you, and then stab you in the back.

Whatever Sheng Zihan feared came to pass; soon, his mother's call came through.

The phone kept ringing, and he stared at the screen with a bitter face: "What do I do?"

Zichen and Zirui said: "Answer it. You caused this disaster yourself, so you have to bear it. Your personality really needs to suffer a little."

Since he was a child, Sheng Zihan had taken advantage of his silver tongue and rarely suffered losses.

He naturally assumed that he could solve any problem by relying on his cleverness!

There were many things that couldn't be solved that way, like the current situation.

Relying on others wasn't as good as relying on himself; with his brothers not helping, he could only bite the bullet and answer the phone.

"Mom—"

"Don't call me Mom. I don't have such a 'capable' son like you. You're getting more and more talented, aren't you? You can even provoke such big shots..."

"Mom, I was wrong. Tell me what you want me to do? I'll do whatever you say. I'll go through fire and water for you, just please don't be angry!"

It was impossible for her not to be angry, but Shi Youxuan didn't show it.

She didn't fall for her youngest son's act.

Shi Youxuan said: "You have one day to eliminate the influence on the internet; this is your only chance. If you can't eliminate it, heh heh!"

"Beep beep beep..."

A busy signal came from the other end; his mother had hung up the phone.

"Big Brother, Sange, help me!"

He stared pitifully at his two older brothers.

Only when he needed something from others would Sheng Zihan call Zirui "Sange"; usually, he just called him by his name.

But his calculations fell through.

Big Brother and Sange spoke in unison.

"Mom won't let us get involved."

"Mom won't let us get involved."

The brothers had received a message from their older sister at the same time, saying that their mother had told them not to interfere with Sheng Zihan.

Their mother wanted to use this incident to cultivate a sense of responsibility and accountability in him.

He couldn't just hand everything over to others to solve whenever trouble arose; it hadn't been a big deal when he was younger, but in the future, he would have his own career and face many difficulties, so he couldn't rely on others for everything.

Sheng Zihan widened his eyes and gaped in astonishment.

"Mom told me to eliminate the impact within a day, and you guys won't help me?" How could this be?

If he could have done it himself, he would have done it long ago; why wait until now?

"We won't."

"We won't."

The brothers shook their heads, their attitude very firm.

So Sheng Zihan went to beg his older sister, but his sister Shi Ran's attitude was even firmer than his two brothers'; she was determined not to help!

He had no one left to beg.

He could beg his second brother, who would definitely be able to help, but his second brother was even more helpless than he was; he could only worry in vain, so it was better not to say anything.

Sheng Zihan still had to find his mother to plead for mercy.

This time the call went through, and he immediately started crying: "Boohoo, you can't just ignore me, don't you love me anymore? Am I no longer your good son? Even if I'm not your good son, I'm still your son; my sister, brothers, and I, we share a deep bond of blood."

"You aren't being heartless, you are just disappointed that I didn't live up to expectations, but you can't stop them from helping me..."

The two brothers stood to the side, shaking their heads as they watched the performance.

Not bad at all; that Film Academy wasn't attended in vain, it's like he's possessed by a drama queen.
