Chapter 431: Quitting (Part 1)

Zhao Qingfeng had stepped out to call Lawyer Zhou.

But.

Shen Lingyao had just returned from the nurse’s station.

As the ‘boss’ of the foundation, she was eager to help Wang Mingyue.

Both being kind-hearted, Shen Lingyao had also put herself in the other’s shoes, thinking that if she had been in that situation, she would undoubtedly have helped as well.

Not for any other reason, just out of kindness.

Even if Brother Qingfeng mocked her for having a ‘Mother Teresa complex,’ she wouldn’t care.

However, upon entering, she heard Zhang Xiaodong relentlessly asking these ‘meaningless’ questions.

Couldn’t he see Wang Mingyue crying?

Didn’t he notice Wang’s father squatting in the corner in distress, looking helpless?

Shen Lingyao didn’t care who Zhang Xiaodong was, even if Ma Huateng himself had been there, she would have slapped him.

The slap was powerful.

It immediately knocked Zhang Xiaodong to the ground.

The other subordinates from Tencent wanted to retaliate.

But upon seeing Shen Lingyao’s appearance, they all paused.

Apart from being too adorable to strike, the girl’s aura was not simple.

Naturally, being around Zhao Qingfeng, Shen Lingyao exuded immense confidence.

Zhang Xiaodong got up, bewildered, holding his cheek, “Why… why did you hit me?”

Shen Lingyao crossed her arms, “Why wouldn’t I hit you? Was what you said even human? Asking why someone would save another person, isn’t it just kindness? What, you don’t have a bit of conscience? Let me ask you, if your mom fell on the street one day, wouldn’t you want someone to help her? So indifferent, really cold-hearted, why wouldn’t you believe in someone’s goodness? If everyone in society was like you, then we might as well just mind our own business from now on and help no one!”

Her words left Zhang Xiaodong with a red face.

He didn’t distrust Wang Mingyue, but Ma Huateng didn’t believe her, what could he do?

After she spoke.

Wang Mingyue’s crying intensified, and Wang’s father sat on the ground, sobbing in a defeated manner.

Zhang Xiaodong sighed, already having a clear answer in his heart.

Besides crying, the case of Wang Mingyue nearly succeeding in suicide after jumping into the water was still fresh. If Wang Mingyue really was shameless, how could she have attempted suicide to prove her innocence? God knows how heartbroken and distressed she was at that moment…

“Vice President Zhang, what do we do?”

Not everyone at Tencent was heartless and unrighteous.

“Let’s go to Liu’s house.”

Concerned about his job and relationship with Ma Huateng, Zhang Xiaodong was still undecided.

“Let’s go!”

Shen Lingyao angrily pointed towards the door, “Get out of here quickly, stop bothering Sister Mingyue. If you don’t leave, I’ll knock out your front teeth!”

The young lady was fierce, burning with rage, quickly grabbing a stick.

Zhang Xiaodong ‘scuttled’ away, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

Soon, they arrived at Liu’s house, and the Liu family was not quiet either.

The story was buzzing online, now known nationally.

If they couldn’t convince netizens of their innocence, wouldn’t they be pointed at by the whole country?

So they were also trying to cheat to the end, fabricating new excuses at home and even paying some villagers willing to speak for them, planning to turn the situation around and then, using the pretense of damaged reputation, demand another compensation from Wang’s family.

“Are you from Tencent?”

Hearing that people from Tencent had come, Liu Laotai’s eldest son, Liu Sanyou, almost jumped for joy, “That’s great, help us with the publicity. Let me tell you, this Wang Mingyue is a troublemaker. Don’t listen to her saying she goes tutoring at night; she’s actually being a mistress for the parents, selling herself!”

The controversy added a new dimension.

After Liu Sanyou spoke, other villagers who had taken money also testified against their will.

“Yes, yes, yes, Wang Mingyue was no good from the start, involved in early romance during school.”
