Everyone was stunned.
They had never seen Fu Jingshu with such a gentle expression; he was more often cold and sharp.
Lin Mo, standing beside him, remained unfazed, long accustomed to it.
Fu Tingyi knew his son all too well. He recognized that expression and knew something was amiss. "What are you smiling about? Do you think you can still salvage this situation?"
Fu Jingshu's fingertips brushed against the screen. "I don't need to do anything."
Because someone else had already done it for him.
"What do you mean?"
As Fu Tingyi asked this, a sudden realization struck him. Fu Jingshu might not be able to do anything here, but Shen Qingqing was at home, and that woman was no easy opponent!
He immediately pulled out his phone and went online to search for the latest developments on the incident.
What he found was a video clip.
The video showed the main hall of the Fu family, with guests present. In the center were the Ning sisters. Most importantly, the video had sound.
It perfectly captured everything that had happened.
Including Ning Zhizhi revealing how Ning Su had instigated her to speak those words, how Ning Xin had also told Ning Su to apologize, how everyone had just watched, and how Ning Su, exposed on the spot, had been so embarrassed and angry she wished she could disappear.
The onlookers who saw the video were bewildered.
No one had expected the situation to escalate to this point and then have such a twist!
It turned out Ning Su had indeed done wrong. She had instigated others, spread rumors, and Chenchen had naturally resisted, leading to the subsequent chain of events.
And the most infuriating part was that Ning Su had shown no remorse.
Ning Su's social media accounts were flooded, and her comment sections were in an uproar of condemnation.
Fu Tingyi only skimmed through a few comments, but he saw countless unique insults, each different from the last, clearly indicating the depth of public anger towards Ning Su.
He closed his phone, his face turning ashen.
Fu Jingshu watched him with leisure. "Do you still want me to abdicate now?"
Fu Tingyi's face twitched.
Lin Mo suddenly chuckled sarcastically. "If you ask me, Mr. Fu isn't the type of person to do such things as taking advantage of someone's misfortune. That's the act of a scoundrel, the most despicable thing one can do."
His words were more painful than a slap to Fu Tingyi's face.
The others' gazes were filled with disdain. Fu Tingyi would have gladly crawled into a hole if one had appeared then, but he forced himself to question, "Since you had evidence, why did you only present it now?"
He seemed to have found a point to criticize and grew more righteous.
"You could have resolved this earlier, yet you waited until it blew up, causing widespread panic and impacting the company. What are your intentions?"
Everyone subconsciously looked at Fu Jingshu.
They were indeed curious.
Fu Jingshu put his phone in his pocket, his last glance at it filled with tenderness, but when he looked up at Fu Tingyi, his eyes instantly turned icy. "That's none of your business."
With that single sentence, he shut Fu Tingyi down.
He took a deep breath and said, "I am also a shareholder, and we are all directors. Although you usually manage the company, we have the right to know about its affairs and to care about it."
He deliberately included the others, intending to rally them to his side.
Unfortunately, Fu Jingshu was indifferent to this. He didn't want to stay there for another second. He wanted to go back and find his wife, who had released the evidence at this critical moment.
She must have done it for him.
He strode towards the door. Fu Tingyi quickly called out, "Stop right there! We haven't finished talking!"
If he let him leave today, this matter would be left unresolved again.
Fu Jingshu didn't look back. "Lin Mo will handle it on my behalf."
As soon as the words fell, he had already disappeared out the door.
Fu Tingyi hurried a few steps after him but was stopped by Lin Mo. "Mr. Fu, I suggest you stay. You can talk to me about anything you need. Master Fu's intentions are clear; I will be handling all company matters from now on."
Fu Tingyi gritted his teeth. "You'll handle it? Do you have the right?"
He was just a lapdog to Fu Jingshu.
His contempt for Lin Mo was evident, and he made no effort to hide it.
Lin Mo, however, said, "Master Fu said I have the right, so I do. I only listen to Master Fu."
But Fu Tingyi didn't want to discuss this with a mere assistant. He even felt it was an insult to his status, so he angrily turned and left.
However, as he reached the doorway, he couldn't shake off his anger and left behind a parting shot.
"He certainly has trained a good dog."
Despite the insulting words, Lin Mo felt no discomfort or humiliation. His smile didn't even falter.
"Thank you for your compliment."
Was that a compliment?
Fu Tingyi's veins bulged on his forehead, so angry he turned and stormed away.
Meanwhile, the online discussion had not quieted down. Before, it was Shen Qingqing who was being cursed, but now the insults were directed at Ning Su.
Ning Su didn't dare to look at her phone.
Upon seeing the video, she panicked instantly and rushed to her sister with her phone.
"Sister, please help me!"
Ning Xin had also seen the video online, but for now, she could only try to appease her sister. "Don't worry, I've already sent someone to handle it."
"I can't help but worry! Didn't you see how many people are scolding me!"
A hint of madness flickered in Ning Su's eyes.
Concerned about her sister's state, Ning Xin quickly held her, soothing her gently. "I know, don't worry. With your sister here, those people just misunderstand you. They were misled by that video. Don't worry, I will clarify this and tell everyone that my sister is the best."
Only then did Ning Su manage to calm down slightly. "Really?"
"Of course." Ning Xin was also a little startled, not by the online situation, but by her sister's demeanor, which seemed abnormal, as if...
She was about to have an episode.
"Alright, leave this to me. Don't worry, it won't affect you."
With her sister's assurance, Ning Su finally felt relieved. "Sister, I never imagined Shen Qingqing could be so vicious as to record a video. If I had known, I would never have done it."
"I know, I know everything. You don't need to explain to me. I'm your sister, and I will definitely help you."
Ning Xin saw through her sister's guilt clearly but sighed inwardly.
She didn't believe what Ning Su said.
Given her sister's nature, even if she knew Shen Qingqing was prepared, she would have still acted against Shen Qingqing. Her sister's jealousy of Shen Qingqing was deeply rooted.
Ning Su was deeply touched. "Sister, you're so good to me. I knew that in this world, only you are the best to me."
Ning Xin's lips curved slightly. "You're my sister, who else should I be good to?"
