Chapter 573: Chapter 573: I Am Your Sister (28)

Online comments were overwhelmingly negative, all condemning Chuzheng.

Because of Shen Ming’s youth and success, looking handsome and wealthy, how could he harbor such thoughts toward his own sister.

It must be the sister with the ulterior motives, seducing him.

Chuzheng: “…”

Why are people so unreasonable!

It was Shen Ming who made the first move!

She even warned him!

They just know how to pick on her, the poor little thing!

The news hit the trending searches, bought by someone, and by the time Shen Ming found out, it had already blown up.

He immediately instructed Lin Yang to handle the situation and to protect Chuzheng from being affected.

However, before Lin Yang could take action, Chuzheng had already shared the identification report.

It proved there was no blood relation between her and Shen Ming.

As for the brother in name, she also provided an explanation.

The article was written in a very official tone, roughly saying that since she returned to the Shen Family, she never knew of Shen Ming’s existence, they never lived together, so there’s nothing wrong with them being together; everyone else should stop being overly concerned.

Shen Ming: “…”

What use am I?

[Even if there is no blood relation, he’s still her brother, right? How can they be together?]

[Maybe there’s nothing wrong with that. After all, they’ve stated they didn’t grow up together; it’s as if they’re meeting for the first time. Falling for each other is understandable, especially given the state of Shen Corporation at the time.]

[Where there’s a big forest, there are all kinds of birds.]

[If my brother were as handsome as President Shen, I’d go for it too!]

When Chuzheng saw these comments, she was reminded of buying internet trolls.

And so, both sides’ internet trolls battled it out boisterously.

“President Shen, Miss Shen’s clarification statement is quite professionally written; there are many linguistic traps in it, allowing for much leeway,” Lin Yang said. “It shouldn’t be written by Miss Shen herself.”

Shen Ming could certainly tell.

She finds speaking a few words tiring, let alone writing such a lengthy piece.

Shen Ming wanted to know even more if she was aware that they weren’t blood-related.

“President Shen, is this okay?” Lin Yang was a bit worried.

Although it clarified that she and President Shen were not blood-related.

But that would not stop those with ulterior motives from using this matter to attack them.

He was thinking of clarifying that President Shen and she were simply siblings, and then arguing that the photo could be misrepresented or Photoshopped, or even of another person.

After all, the photo was so blurry; it would be easy to find someone with a slight resemblance to fabricate a story, quickly burying the incident.

Wait a second…

President Shen and Miss Shen aren’t blood-related?

This realization astounded Lin Yang.

That Shen Family…

Such chaos in the realm of the wealthy.

Shen Ming postponed the meetings that followed and went straight back to the apartment, leaving Lin Yang to guard the empty office, heartbroken, wondering how to report on the situation!

In the apartment, Chuzheng was idly scrolling through her phone, bored by the repetitive comments from people.

Shen Ming entered through the door.

The young girl was sprawled on the desk, her chin resting on the back of her hand, looking coldly at her phone.

Shen Ming felt a peculiar sensation in his heart, as if in that moment, nothing else mattered.

In a world where time stands still, only she brings peace.

Chuzheng looked up at him: “It’s not time to get off work yet.”

“I missed you,” Shen Ming walked over and gently embraced her, kissing her cheek softly. “Did you miss me?”

“We separated just three hours ago.” Miss him? What’s there to miss? Is he crazy?

Shen Ming’s beautiful eyes were filled with tenderness: “I miss you every minute we’re apart. Don’t you miss me, darling?”

“…” I’m fine, thank you.

“About the stuff online…” Shen Ming pursed his lips.

“I have it under control,” Chuzheng said with an air of composure.

Her reaction to the situation was completely different from that of ordinary girls.

Shen Ming thought of the internet masterpiece, his sister shrouded in secrets, yet irresistibly lovable.

Chuzheng’s body suddenly lifted into the air, as Shen Ming picked her up and walked toward the bedroom.

Chuzheng looked at him somewhat bewildered.

What are you doing?

It wasn’t until Shen Ming began to undress her that Chuzheng reacted.

Is this man a beast?

He just did it this morning, and now again!

–

Bai Yuyao flipped through the comments online, her complexion growing uglier by the second.

“Smack!”

Bai Yuyao set down the tablet, her fingertips turning white.

She had released this news, and now everyone is envious? Envious of what? Are these people sick?

This won’t do.

She must think of a way to ruin Shen Chuzheng completely.

Buzz buzz buzz…

The vibration of her phone startled Bai Yuyao, and she answered the call with a shiver; the panicked voice of Mother Bai came through from the other end.

“Yuyao… Yuyao, come to the hospital quickly, there’s been an accident!”

A sense of dread dropped in Bai Yuyao’s stomach, and she grabbed her purse and rushed to the hospital Mother Bai had mentioned.

Mother Bai was crying heartbrokenly outside the emergency room, and Bai Yuyao rushed over: “Mom, what happened?”

Seeing her daughter, Mother Bai seemed as though all her strength had been drained from her body.

“Your father… your father has been in a car accident.”

Bai Yuyao experienced a moment of blankness in her mind.

How could there be a car accident?

After being rescued, Father Bai was wheeled out; his life was saved, but he would have to use a wheelchair from now on.

Father Bai was on his way to a meeting when an oncoming car, driving on the wrong side of the road, hit him head-on. The driver of the other car was found to have a mental illness, making it extremely difficult to assign blame.

After Father Bai was hospitalized, the company also suffered some repercussions.

However, Father Bai wasn’t dead, and he quickly got the company back on track.

But what Father Bai didn’t anticipate was that the Bai Family would soon fall into the same predicament as the Shen Corporation.

Following Father Bai’s accident, core information was leaked, company finances were severed, and partners turned their backs.

Father Bai could not fathom that such a catastrophe would occur and fainted several times in frustration.

“President Bai, don’t you think this is too coincidental?”

It all seemed to be a repeat of the script from Shen Corporation’s incident.

As Father Bai lay in the hospital bed, his face ashen with anger: “Did you not handle that matter cleanly?”

“President Bai, I took care of it properly, there’s no way anyone could have found out.”

Father Bai, in a rage, threw objects at the man: “If it was dealt with cleanly, explain the current situation to me!”

Even if someone wanted to target the Bai Family, did they have to go to such lengths?

“President Bai… could it be that someone is trying to frame the Shen Family for this?” After all, now that they have Shen Ming, perhaps…

“Dad.” Bai Yuyao entered the room, her eyes reddened slightly.

Father Bai repressed his anger and asked the others to leave.

“Yuyao.”

Bai Yuyao sat by the hospital bed, taking Father Bai’s hand: “Dad, our company…”

“Don’t worry, I’ll handle it,” said Father Bai.

“I’ve already heard…” Bai Yuyao said with worry: “Is this related to the Shen family?”

Father Bai: “We don’t know yet.”

But Bai Yuyao was somewhat certain: “Initially, you asked me to get close to Shen Chuzheng, and those documents… our company’s current situation, there must be a connection.”

The rhythm of the Shen family’s troubles and what they were currently experiencing were exactly the same; if this wasn’t retaliation, what was it?

Father Bai also felt it might be retaliation from the Shen family, but there was no evidence.

The clues at the site of his car accident were cleanly cut; a mentally ill patient, who would be absolved even if he committed murder right there and then, no logic necessary.

“Yuyao, has Song Jing said anything?”

At the mention of Song Jing, Bai Yuyao’s expression improved slightly: “He said he would help.”

Father Bai nodded as if reassured.
