Chapter 110: How do you want to die, you trash, if my wife hears this

"What news?"

An Ling didn't react at first, but then Shen Fuyuan shoved her phone screen right in front of her face.

Instantly, several heavily bolded headlines caught her eye.

[The An Family's Daughter Appears at Jewelry Gala: True Photos of An Ling Exposed!]

[An Ling Suspected of Being Kicked Out of the An Family? Currently in a Desolate State?]

[An Ling's True Colors Revealed: Admits to Forcing Husband to Take Out Loans for Tens of Millions in Jewelry, Even Harasses Zhou Wen in Public! Intentionally Drives Up Auction Prices and Spills Wine on Zhou Wen's Dress!]

In a flash, the hashtag #JusticeForShenLinyan Meeting the Most Vicious Ex-Wife surged to the top of the trending topics.

Shen Fuyuan had been scrolling through this for the last ten minutes. She was dumbfounded and even a little furious.

"Someone leaked your photos. And regarding the loan thing, they completely left out the fact that you didn't even spend the money. You told me to talk less, but look at how you're being taken out of context."

An Ling's gaze fell on the trending tags. She clicked on the top one about her photos.

Sure enough, she saw pictures of herself inside.

She scrutinized them for a moment and frowned in slight dissatisfaction.

The angles weren't very flattering...

Shen Fuyuan added, "Plus, the things Zhou Wen said about you have become their proof. They're saying even the Second Lady of the Shen family came out to testify that An Ling treats Shen Linyan horribly."

Hearing this, An Ling paused, then handed the phone back to her.

"Let's go home."

Seeing her bland reaction, the righteous indignation on Shen Fuyuan's face dissipated. "How are you so calm?"

"Because it's all fake. There's nothing to be angry about. We just need to clarify the truth."

An Ling carried her gift bags and walked forward. When she had seen all those cameras pointed at her earlier, she had guessed this would happen.

But she hadn't expected the news to come out so fast.

It was truly swift. Moreover, the fact that Zhou Wen and Lu Jingshen were completely omitted from the narrative made it hard not to guess who was behind this.

Her footsteps suddenly halted.

Should she tell Shen Linyan?

But after taking out her phone, An Ling stopped again. She lowered her eyes, pursed her lips, and after a moment of silence, put it away.

Forget it. She would wait until Shen Linyan came home to talk about it.

Shen Fuyuan caught up with her. Seeing the gift bags in her hands, she asked curiously, "What did you buy? Do you even have the money for this right now?"

Thinking of the bidding war just now, she couldn't help but click her tongue. "You were really bold, though. Weren't you afraid Zhou Wen and the others would stop bidding?"

After all, that last bid was a hundred million. She had genuinely been worried for her older brother.

"If they didn't follow, I would have just bought it."

Caught off guard by the woman's words, Shen Fuyuan froze: "What?"

"I said, if they didn't follow up the bid, I would have just bought it. I actually quite liked those items anyway." An Ling was currently texting An Zhou to explain the cause of tonight's events.

She looked up and blinked:

"You didn't know? Shen Linyan didn't tell you he started a new company? Besides, how could my family ever kick me out?"

She had assumed Shen Fuyuan was just playing along earlier.

Shen Fuyuan: "..."

Did they know? She and her brother had deceived so many of her feelings.

...

After the news broke, the first to notice was Gu Xiaochi.

Tonight's drinking party was organized by Wang Yihong. He said a few investors wanted to pull them into a collaboration for a new project, so he invited him and Shen Linyan over, primarily wanting Shen Linyan to evaluate it.

While drinking, he accidentally glanced at his phone and realized his secretary had sent him dozens of messages.

Upon opening them, Gu Xiaochi's ears instantly started ringing.

Watching the situation ferment online, only one word filled his mind.

Doomed.

The secretary said the posts were being frantically shared and it was already too late to take them down.

Terrified, he was just about to turn and tell Shen Linyan, but saw the man was on a phone call.

In his moment of hesitation, an investor next to him suddenly leaned over and brazenly threw an arm around his shoulder.

"President Gu! Let me tell you! This project is definitely going to succeed! Believe me... hic..." The investor's face was flushed red, and as soon as he opened his mouth, his hiccups reeked of alcohol.

Catching a glimpse of the screen on Gu Xiaochi's phone, he narrowed his eyes and stared at it for a moment. "What's this? ...An Ling? Why is Chairman Shen's name here too?"

Gu Xiaochi hurriedly turned off his phone, clicking his tongue inwardly.

No wonder ever since Shen Linyan came in, he just smiled and nodded at whatever these two said without offering any opinions. He was completely treating them like fools.

That kid Wang Yihong was also an idiot for believing these guys when they said the project would make money.

He quietly pushed the man away. "It's nothing."

Another investor seemed to have seen the news on his own phone: "Isn't this Chairman Shen's wife? She was in the news several times a while ago, and now she's making headlines again."

The drunk investor collapsed onto the sofa. Hearing this, he leaned over, took a few looks, and then suddenly realized.

"Yeah! I remember now! That news just now was talking about Chairman Shen's wife, right?"

Perhaps the man's consistently placid attitude since entering the room had given them a false impression, causing them to speak without thinking.

He sat back up and said with a laugh, "I was wondering why that name sounded so familiar. I saw the news back then too, saying that Chairman Shen and his wife didn't have a very good relationship."

Gu Xiaochi's eyelids twitched violently as a sudden bad premonition rose within him.

Oh my god, bro, I'm begging you. Shen Linyan just recently remarried and is in a good mood, please don't fan the flames!

Opposite them, Shen Linyan, who was on the phone, seemed to have heard their chatter and cast a casual glance their way.

Before Gu Xiaochi had time to stop it, he saw the drunk investor suddenly burst into loud laughter:

"Chairman Shen is so young and promising, it's a pity he married a wife like that who goes around causing trouble every day. When are you getting a divorce, Chairman Shen? I have a younger sister who is much more obedient than that woman."

As soon as the words left his mouth, the room instantly fell silent.

Gu Xiaochi silently retracted the hand he had reached out to cover the man's mouth, not knowing whether he should light incense for these guys or for Wang Yihong.

Just because of this kid's drinking party, Shen Linyan was completely unaware of what had happened at the gala.

In the deathly silence, the investor finally realized in hindsight that something was wrong, sobering up a bit.

His face turned pale as an indescribable panic surged into his heart. His body sounded the alarm of danger, and he opened his mouth helplessly: "Um... Chairman Shen, I was just..."

The man, however, didn't even look at him. He spoke gently into the phone, then hung up and slowly raised his eyes.

His eyes were pitch-black, and the smile on his lips remained gentle, but his tone sent shivers down one's spine.

"If my wife heard that, how would a piece of trash like you want to die?"
