Shen Qingxue was always unable to hold her tongue. Now, hearing Shen Qingyue’s words and knowing that the matter was indeed true, she could not help but panic. “You… you’re talking nonsense!”
“Whether it’s nonsense or not, you know better than me. I know this is not the only thing you’ve done, okay?” Shen Qingyue looked at her.

However, Xu Fengzhi held her daughter back, gesturing for her to be quiet. She had dared to angrily confront Shen Qingyue before, thinking that Shen Qingyue was still the brainless, love-struck young lady from before. She thought a few threats would make her release Shen Da. However, things had changed. Ever since Shen Qingyue divorced Qin Zhen, it seemed like she had grown a brain. So, that tactic would not work anymore.
Xu Fengzhi looked at Shen Qingyue again and decided to appeal to her emotions and reason. Her eyes were filled with tears as she said, “What happened earlier was just my impulsive reaction. Let’s talk calmly, okay?” Shen Qingyue responded with a cold sneer, not saying a word.
Xu Fengzhi continued, “Qingyue, your uncle made a mistake in a moment of confusion. Besides, Grandpa is fine now. We are still family, so there’s no need to investigate this any further, alright? Shen Da is the pillar of our family. Your parents are no longer here, and you can only rely on your uncle now. Moreover, if anything happens to him, how will we, as widows and orphans, survive?”
Shen Qingyue looked at her and replied, “Can’t survive? Then why don’t you all go and accompany him?”
Xu Fengzhi’s expression changed. She had not expected Shen Qingyue to be so unyielding. “I tried to reason with you, but it seems you won’t listen.”
“What if I don’t listen?” Shen Qingyue remained expressionless.
Before Xu Fengzhi could speak, Shen Qingxue shouted again, “You’re going too far! Grandpa isn’t dead, so why should my dad go to jail? It’s just surgery having to stay in the hospital for a few days. There’s no reason for him to go to jail!”
Hearing this, Shen Qingyue could not help but laugh in anger. “You’re telling me about fairness and reason? Since you put it that way, your dad is just going to spend a few days in jail, not die. What’s there to be afraid of? Since you like talking about fairness, go tell it to the judge.”
Xu Fengzhi’s eyes turned cold. “Are you saying that no matter what, you won’t withdraw the charges?”

Xu Fengzhi gritted her teeth in anger. “Let me tell you, when a young girl acts so ruthlessly, she will face consequences. Take care of yourself and don’t show any weakness, or I won’t let you go.”
Shen Qingyue remained composed. “I’ll give you the same advice. Many things these years were orchestrated by Shen Da, and making you pay the price was difficult but not impossible. So, make sure to clean up your act…”
After saying this, she left without looking back.
After leaving the hospital room, Shen Qingyue did not immediately return to Shen Jun’s ward. Instead, she sat by the flowerbed outside, thinking about the evidence against Shen Da that had arrived just in time. If someone had not provided it, she would not have filed the lawsuit against Shen Da so quickly, and he might have already destroyed the evidence. She had been collecting evidence of his embezzlement secretly, but everything else had been wiped clean.
Now, not only did she find the evidence swiftly, but witnesses also confessed one after another. Clearly, someone had intervened. The person who helped her behind the scenes was not someone who simply used sweet words without taking real action. They acted resolutely, and their strong yet gentle presence made it impossible for her to ignore them.
Shen Qingyue felt a bit lost. She did not think she deserved such profound affection. She thought it was just a little ambiguity, but she did not expect it to cause such a tremendous upheaval.
The next day, Shen Qingyue went to the company. With Shen Da, a high-ranking member of the group, being detained by the police and Chairman Shen Jun being rushed to the emergency room, the company was in chaos without leadership.
Shen Qingyue had to step up and temporarily assume the responsibilities of the President. When this news spread, it caused an uproar within the company. Despite her recent achievements, she was still perceived as a love-struck heiress, and her capabilities were doubted. Nevertheless, she had no choice but to take charge and moved into the President’s office assertively..
