The next morning, the impact of the public statement made by Glint, became profound.

With the tides turning around, Zhang Liling still didn't give it some rest.

It was time to take a little revenge on Shi Wenqian whether she was the one behind the rumours regarding her mother or not.

She didn't care.

Seeing the 70% positive feedback that brought a turnaround, Zhang Liling immediately got to work.

With the positive comment that supported her from the previous day, she picked on it and pushed it to the very top by using a fake account to call Shi Wenqian out for being a shrewd woman who shamelessly seduced and snatched another woman's husband.

Zhang Liling made sure to call her out by stating that she was the reason the Song family were not in unity and soon, so many people started to drag Shi Wenqian online.

They all started to blame her for ruining another woman's life.

Zhang Liling didn't even need to hire keyboard warriors before the thread became popular and more support came.

Currently, Shi Wenqian was being trolled online and the woman who thought she could attend a very important meeting with wives of other aspiring politicians, aborted her plans.

Seeing that she was under fire, Shi Wenqian after dolling herself up, could no longer leave the house.

The woman was so furious that she literally broke every breakable item in her living room.

Having found a habit of reading the newspaper every morning to keep up with important information she could use to her advantage, she also didn't forget to pick up the morning paper.

Because of the important netting she had, she directly freshened up and dressed up before leaving her room.

Since she was already dressed, the next place to be, would have been the dining room but because the possibility of Zhang Renshu ruining her mood was very high, she optioned to leave the house after glancing through the news.

Who knew that she would see a hot topic with her large photo of her, on the cover page?

With how big the photo was, those who didn't know what she looked like, would surely know and those who had facial recognition problem, can easily see her.

Left without any reservation, a shriek escaped from her lips as she tore the newspaper into pieces and before the servants could run to the living room, she had already over turned the glass table.

"Ma'am!" The housekeeper called out in fright as soon as she speed-walked over.

Unfortunately, Shi Wenqian was not in the right senses to listen to any of them. With her handbag, she trotted back into her bedroom while cursing.

As soon as she got there she immediately picked up her phone to make a call.

"Get those articles and comments about me down. You have five minutes!"

"Ma'am, it's not possible..."

"I will have your head as compensation if you mention that word again!"

Pressing the red phone icon, the conversation came to an end.

At the thought of the kind of negative comments that would be pointing toward her, she lost herself in her emotions and started to throw things about.

Hearing the ruckus going on in his house while having a relaxed breakfast, Zhang Renshu's nose scrunched up.

"What is going on there?!"

Today's morning, Zhang Renshu was all alone at the breakfast table and with Zhang Mingyu missing, he could on rely on the servants to check what was happening and report back to him.

"Sir, Madam threw a ruckus after reading the morning paper," One of the maids who had gone to the scene of the incident, reported.

Even after he learned of what was going on, the frown on his face remained visible.

"Bring the morning paper to me," he instructed and went back to eating his food.

Earlier, he had been excited while eating but now, his whole mood was ruined because of the thorn in his flesh.

When Zhang Renshu saw the front cover of the paper and read out the headline, he was calm until he read some of the news content and only then did he flip up.

"Who is behind this?!" He cursed as he flung the papers away. "How dare them include my name there?!"

Zhang Renshu's anger was only that while Shi Wenqian was being mentioned for being a husband snatcher and a home breaker, his name was added as a womaniser.

In the article, they called him a betrayer for sleeping around with another woman, cheating on his fiancée a few days to their wedding, which resulted in the unfortunate fate of Song Jujing.

Every time this incident was mentioned, Zhang Renshu's name would always be inclusive, hence the reason for his anger.

"Can they not tag her alone without putting my name there?!"

"Do they think that I could not differentiate between diamond and glass at that time?!" Zhang Renshu roared.

He too wanted to tell a story but because of his guilt and his pride, he could not come out to say it.

Did they think he was so promiscuous at that time to clear headedly sleep with his housekeeper, forgetting the gem he was going to get married to?

Zhang Renshu really wanted to come out and give a press conference from what happened back then, but he couldn't, no matter what.

The man would be grateful if they only cursed Shi Wenqian and left him out of the picture.

Furious about his company stocks falling and the next news headline that would be about it only because of one woman, Zhang Renshu stopped eating and stormed away, straight off making his way to find Shi Wenqian.

From the direction of the servants, he found her in her bedroom.

Everything in the room was in a mess. All tables were turned upside down and the woman herself, stood in the midst of the mess, looking her worst.

Shi Wenqian was shocked to see Zhang Renshu at the door after screaming for her housekeeper whom she thought had come to persuade her to calm down.

For solid ten seconds, she stood rooted to the spot.

Seeing the mess, Zhang Renshu had a lot to say but because the bedroom was hers, he didn't want to concern himself with it as he went straight to the point.

"Do you have a hand in the rumours that made rounds on the internet, yesterday about Glint and Jujing?"

'That's what you came for?'

Shi Wenqian felt even more hopeless.

He hadn't come to check on her or say any comforting words. He had come to question her.

Great!

"Are you interrogating me?" Shi Wenqian asked back while emitting fury.

"Forget it. I already know the answer." Zhang Renshu said, holding up his hand. As for what he meant by that reply, he left her vast brain to imagine it.

Glancing at the room one more time, he said, "Replace everything in this room before 24 hours with the money form your private purse."

Without giving her the chance to firm any word on lips, he walked out and banged the door.

"Yah!" Shi Wenqian was mad with anger as her eyes saw red.

She really felt like passing out and wake up the next time with the whole world moving up to another phase.

***

An hour later, Shi Wenqian's bedroom was all cleaned up but it felt empty given the number of things she broke.

Sitting at the foot of her bed with a piping hot cup of camomile tea to calm her nerves, she made another call.

"Why am I still trending on the internet? Do you want people to curse me out to the point that they begin to demand that I resign from all my humanitarian association and services?!"

"Ma'am, it's really hard for us. The attack keep getting worse with our plans failing woefully. But we only have one last option, and that is to divert the attention of everyone to someone else's scandal."

"Then what are you waiting for?! Find any entertainer out there with a huge scandal and let out immediately!"

Shi Wenqian would do anything to get the negative attention off her, but she only hopes it wouldn't take time as she on the verge of losing her patience.

Unfortunately for her, she didn't have much of a choice although she was about to murder a certain someone after the response she got.

"Ma'am, we can't release any scandal until 2-3 days. It would seem odd if we do something to get your name off the chat.

People will notice the trick, and we may lose the last chance to right this wrong."

*******

Wherever Zhang Liling was, she was probably drinking a bottle of Champagne with her mother.

There were so many things to be happy for.

For example, she got back at Shi Wenqian using a sort after method and now, the internet users had taken the matter up personally.

In Zhang Liling's mind, she had made her stepmother popular, and even demanded to be paid for the services rendered.
