Chapter 726 Ruined Reputation

The explosion of this interview intensified the online discourse to an irreconcilable degree.

First, she was accused of forcing an apology, then spoiling her children, bullying classmates, and even using her influence to pressure others into agreeing to a private settlement.

These actions were simply outrageous!

Netizens' comments erupted, wishing they could rush to Shen Qingqing and scold her fiercely. The comment section was utterly overwhelmed and unreadable.

Shen Qingqing did not read it, nor did she allow her children to.

Instead, King, seeing how things had escalated, was no longer very angry. He felt that his little disciple was preparing a trump card: "Just give me a hint about how you plan to handle it?"

Seeing his little disciple so calm, he was sure she had a killer move up her sleeve.

He just didn't know what it was.

Shen Qingqing glanced at him: "What's the rush? Didn't I tell you that you would know sooner or later?"

"You really can keep your cool."

If it were King himself, being slandered and cursed like this, he would have long since retaliated, stripping the other party of all face!

Shen Qingqing raised her eyebrows slightly, a cold glint in her eyes.

"It's not that I have a good temper."

It was just that the time hadn't come yet.

King stopped asking. The online situation was too annoying to watch, so he simply stopped looking.

But no one expected things to worsen, and these onlookers and reporters became increasingly excessive.

They even blocked the entrance of the Fu family's residence.

Shen Qingqing stood by the window on the second floor, looking at the reporters lurking near the main entrance below. Their stealthy movements, not yet perfected, clearly indicated something was amiss.

Someone leaned against her from behind.

Without turning around, Shen Qingqing recognized the familiar cold fragrance and knew it was Fu Jing Shu: "This must be part of their plan."

Fu Jing Shu said calmly: "I've already called Lin Mo to arrange for bodyguards. If you want to go out, I'll accompany you."

Shen Qingqing, however, shook her head: "I'm fine. I don't want to go out right now. However, I think it's time to take the final step."

Fu Jing Shu's lips curved upwards. He cupped her face with one hand, gazing into her clear, dark eyes: "Just this once, and no more."

He had intended to intervene, but Shen Qingqing disagreed.

This made King even believe he didn't care about his wife, and his gaze towards him was even laced with suspicion.

He truly had no words to express his frustration.

His wife adamantly refused his help, and he couldn't use force. He couldn't bear to go against his wife's wishes, so he could only stand by helplessly.

Shen Qingqing naturally knew the man's feelings for her, and she also knew that she was the only one in this world who could change his mind. It would be a lie to say her heart wasn't warmed.

Her smile became even brighter and more radiant.

"I know you cherish me, but this is a war between two women. I don't want you to interfere. After all, you have no other intentions towards her, do you?"

Since that was the case, this war had nothing to do with men. If he were to get involved, it would give Ning Su the illusion that the man was indeed interested in her.

She would never allow that!

Fu Jing Shu looked at her petty demeanor, raised his hand, and playfully pinched her nose: "You're so smart, you understand everything, except my feelings for you."

Shen Qingqing blinked: "How do I not understand?"

Fu Jing Shu sighed inwardly. If she understood, why wouldn't she let him intervene? Why wouldn't she know that his greatest wish was to protect her well?

But he didn't say these words. He simply held his wife tightly.

The events of the past two days had kept Shen Qingqing on edge. Now, she was stealing a moment of leisure, relaxing her body, leaning into his embrace.

However, this leisure lasted less than two minutes before she took her phone out of her pocket.

"Calling Zhao Yixin's parents?"

Fu Jing Shu instantly guessed his wife's intention.

Shen Qingqing felt no discomfort from this. On the contrary, she felt a sense of ease. Didn't this just show how well her husband understood her? She said with a touch of laziness, "Since it's the child's grandmother who is taking the lead, it means the child's parents haven't been properly handled, or perhaps..."

It was entirely kept from them.

The reality was as she predicted. Zhao family's couple's phones were unreachable.

Shen Qingqing stared at her phone: "It seems they truly are unaware."

"How can you be so naive? Couldn't it be that this couple is pretending to be unaware and faking their disappearance?"

Shen Qingqing turned back and saw King standing at the door, looking at them with amusement.

Shen Qingqing put her phone away and said: "You underestimate us too much."

Ever since their previous meeting, the Zhao couple had been very pleased that their child was friendly with Chenchen and Xixi, so they were naturally eager to please and would never risk offending them.

Fu Jing Shu made a call to Lin Mo.

"Investigate the whereabouts of the Zhao couple."

"Yes."

Lin Mo acted swiftly, and within half an hour, he delivered the confirmed news.

"They went to visit relatives."

Fu Jing Shu looked at the message on his phone and said to Shen Qingqing.

Shen Qingqing raised an eyebrow and looked at King: "See, I was right."

King gave her a thumbs-up.

Immediately after, they went downstairs. Xixi also knew about this and came over with his phone: "Mommy, I can't contact Zhao Yixin."

"You can contact him?"

Xixi shook the watch on his wrist: "When he came to play at our house before, I gave him one of my old communication watches."

They had always used this watch to stay in touch, but today he couldn't get through at all.

Shen Qingqing frowned. This was very strange. Could it be that the child was deliberately not answering? Seeing the worry and suspicion on Xixi's face, she couldn't help but reach out and pat his head.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen to him."

Although she didn't know why Mommy was so sure, since Mommy said so, Xixi naturally believed her. "But what they're saying online is so nasty..."

He was furious just thinking about the public opinion.

Shen Qingqing said softly: "It's okay, these are the schemes of bad people. Don't worry, they won't succeed."

Xixi knew that Mommy's methods were always very effective, and she would never be bullied for no reason. He stopped asking and ran upstairs to see his brother.

Shen Qingqing made a call to Ke Lin.

"You can act now."

"Ok! Ms. Shen, you finally called me. You have no idea how anxious I was. Don't worry, this time I guarantee I'll slap those who cursed you in the face!"

Ke Lin had been following the online situation and had naturally seen the false accusations. He was also furious, but Ms. Shen had given instructions long ago not to act without her command, which was why he had endured until now.

After hanging up the phone, he personally went to the public relations department.

"Implement the PR plan you prepared immediately. Find the best and most dedicated internet trolls. I want to ruin Ning Su's reputation!"

"Yes!"

The staff in the public relations department responded in unison.
