Shen Qingqing peeked her small head from behind the man. "Director Feng, you're mistaken. What does it have to do with me if she slept with someone? Did I tell her to go to the party?"
"Ms. Feng doesn't have a good relationship with me, so would she go just because I asked her to?"
"Besides, I didn't force her to sleep with anyone."
Every word was a jab at Feng Yilian's wound. Living in such an open country, chastity wasn't that important, but she had always maintained an image of pure and innocent, an arrogant little princess.
If this incident were to get out, her reputation would be ruined, and it would affect the Feng family.
And her father valued the Feng family's reputation the most.
She knew she would inevitably be scolded by her father and hated Shen Qingqing to the core. "It was you! You deliberately set up cameras, tricked me into going, drugged me, and found a man... You are too wicked!"
After a lot of distortion, Shen Qingqing applauded her. "You say I took you there, where's the evidence?"
Feng Yilian choked and argued stubbornly, "You used sweet talk to deceive me, how could I have left evidence?"
Director Feng's eyes flickered with thought, and then he angrily accused, "Shen Qingqing, I respect you as Mrs. Master Fu and kindly let you stay at my house, treating you well, but you actually framed my daughter like this!"
Regardless of whether Shen Qingqing was responsible for today's incident, it had to be her!
His Feng family's reputation could not be tarnished; someone had to take the blame!
Shen Qingqing looked at Feng Yilian calmly and retorted, "Are you sure I coaxed you into going to the party?"
Feng Yilian nodded affirmatively. "Yes, it was you! Otherwise, I wouldn't have gone to that kind of place. Daddy, you know, I've always been very well-behaved, I wouldn't do this... sob sob, my life is ruined."
She covered her face and cried, convincing herself as she spoke.
"Enough, aren't you ashamed to say that?"
Shen Qingqing's face showed obvious disgust. Feng Yilian gritted her teeth, hating her inwardly, and turned to complain aggrievedly, "Daddy, look at her... she ruined my life and shows no remorse. Daddy, I... I don't want to live anymore."
Director Feng naturally felt distressed and reprimanded Shen Qingqing, "You're too much! Fu Jingshu, is this the sincerity with which you are seeking cooperation with me?"
Fu Jingshu glanced at the tearful Feng Yilian and felt only annoyance. "I advise you not to push it. You lured my wife to that kind of place, and I haven't settled the score with you yet."
Feng Yilian was startled. How did he know? It must have been that bitch who told him!
She glared fiercely at Shen Qingqing, only to find her looking surprised too.
Shen Qingqing tugged at his sleeve. "How did you know?"
Fu Jingshu patted her hand, signaling he would explain later, his gaze still fixed on Director Feng and his daughter, cold and sharp. Director Feng instinctively looked at Feng Yilian.
"Yilian, what exactly happened?"
Feng Yilian's face turned a little pale, and she gritted her teeth. "Of course, she tricked me!"
Shen Qingqing shook her head. After more than two hours of fuss, she was a little tired and didn't want to waste any more time here. She took out her phone from her pocket and played a recording.
The content of the recording was very familiar.
"You should know that the special medicine was prepared for me."
"Only I have the right to decide whether to give it to you."
"What are your conditions?"
"I want you to attend a party."
"Additional condition: go alone, do not tell King or Fu Jingshu, otherwise, the deal is void."
Everyone recognized the voice instantly and looked at Feng Yilian, whose face was almost ashen. "This recording is fake!"
Shen Qingqing turned the volume up to the maximum.
Now, in addition to Feng Yilian's voice, there was background music.
It was a piece of classical music.
Director Feng's face was very ugly. Every evening after dinner, he would go for a walk, then return to his study to listen to a piece of soothing classical music to cultivate his temperament.
The time was just before 7 PM.
Now, Feng Yilian could no longer be stubborn. She hugged her coat tightly, not daring to look at her furious father, as if this could help her escape punishment.
"Go back to your room."
Director Feng gritted out the words.
Feng Yilian didn't say a word, turned, and ran upstairs. Her legs felt weak, and she stumbled, almost falling, but she still didn't dare to stop.
After the person left, Director Feng took several deep breaths to calm himself down and offered an apologetic smile.
"I'm so sorry, my daughter is naughty and spoiled."
"Your words don't sound sincere."
Director Feng's face stiffened, and he followed up by asking, "Yes, ultimately, this is our fault. How about this, tell me how you want to be compensated, and I will do it."
Shen Qingqing and Fu Jingshu exchanged a look. "Director Feng, let's be straightforward. You should know why we are visiting."
All this talk of business was merely a pretext.
Director Feng smiled. "Of course, I know."
"Then what are your thoughts?"
"I need to consider it." Director Feng's answer was ambiguous, almost forcibly changing the subject. "How about this, as an apology, I'll have someone prepare a lavish lunch tomorrow to make amends. It's getting late, you should go back and rest well."
Shen Qingqing also knew that things wouldn't go so smoothly, so she didn't force the issue.
There are no secrets that can't be spread. Rumors quickly started online. After fermenting overnight, the news of Feng Yilian attending that kind of party and having a "great harmony of life" with someone was widely spread.
Director Feng's expression was terrible, and the servants were all trembling. It wasn't until Fan Hang returned, and Director Feng learned that he had also attended the banquet, that he took him into the study for a secret discussion of more than two hours.
When he came out, Director Feng had a relaxed and pleasant smile on his face.
Fan Hang, on the other hand, had a very sour expression.
Shen Qingqing didn't know why at first, but soon, she saw that the rumors online were quelled. Instead, they were replaced by news that last night, the Feng family's little princess and her fiancé had spent a wonderful night together.
The comments below were all blessings and envy.
"No wonder Fan Hang's expression was so bad." To be cuckolded and have to wear the hat himself, who could stand that?
Fu Jingshu glanced over and said coldly, "Serves him right."
If you don't like it, don't get engaged.
If you're engaged, then endure it.
Shen Qingqing put down her phone and stroked her chin. "Don't you think Director Feng's attitude towards Feng Yilian is strange? Last night when Feng Yilian came back, he didn't show concern, but only questioned who was responsible. That doesn't sound like a good father who dotes on his daughter."
Her words made Fu Jingshu feel that something was wrong. If it were him, and his own daughter was ruined...
Just thinking about it made him want to kill someone.
Just then, someone pushed open the door. It was King, whom they hadn't seen for two days.
Shen Qingqing asked curiously, "Where have you been?"
Fu Jingshu snorted coldly, "Someone like him can't be relied on. Since you left, you didn't need to come back."
"I know you find me an eyesore," King rolled his eyes at him. "But you can't ruin my image like this. I wasn't out having fun; I was handling official business."
"What official business?"
"I discovered a secret of the Feng family," King said meaningfully.
