Chapter 322: 311 Slap in the Face, Divorce Agreement [3 updates]
It was a photo of Su Ruan and Fu Yunshen.
It also detailed the engagement controversy from that year and the subsequent events that unfolded over the next few years.
The story it told roughly went like this:
After Old Master Fu and Old Master Su arranged the engagement between Su Ruan and Fu Yunshen, Su Ruan married Fu Yihan due to some reason.
Fu Yunshen was starting a business overseas in O continent, and by the time he came back, Su Ruan had already become someone else’s wife, thus they tragically missed each other.
And it was for Su Ruan that Fu Yunshen became a senior executive at Venus Corporation.
...
Soon, crowds of netizens swarmed in.
[Amazing, truly a dramatic plot twist. The girl he likes became his sister-in-law; how can one even fight for her?]
[Feel sorry for the CEO.]
[I don’t feel sorry, I’m envious of the woman in the photo. She’s really lucky to have two brothers compete for her.]
[Just a passerby here, but honestly, regardless of identity or status, the girl isn’t worthy of the guy. Don’t you think the Su Ruan in these photos looks just like an auntie?]
[To the one above, didn’t you see that it’s for the girl that the guy fought so hard and struggled? It’s so touching. Why haven’t I met such a man?]
This was the result of Su Lianghui contacting an entertainment company, learning how to manipulate public opinion, and then activating several hundred marketing accounts to publish this press release.
The essay was written by a professional, designed to stir emotions.
Su Lianghui was convinced that Su Ruan held a place in Fu Yunshen’s heart, the misunderstanding just stemming from the canceled engagement years ago.
He also was clear in his mind that it was time to make a bold move.
Either, like before, Fu Yunshen would not care.
A scandal was just a scandal, after all, and Fu Yunshen had not minded even when ridiculed by the socialite circles back then.
Or, it was very possible that he would indeed take Su Ruan away.
For Su Lianghui, both outcomes were favorable.
The former, at the very least, could be a threat to his rivals.
Just as Su Lianghui had anticipated, as the hot topic appeared on Weibo, his uncles from the Su Family, both Second Uncle and Fourth Uncle, ceased their business offensives against him.
They called almost immediately one after the other, making inquiries.
Without certainty of completely overthrowing Su Lianghui, their competition remained private, outwardly maintaining a facade of harmony, without tearing off their masks.
After all, Second Uncle Su and Fourth Uncle Su, being in the capital, had never met Fu Yunshen, nor were they aware of the actual truth.
But the timeline presented in the story convinced them.
If Su Lianghui had indeed re-established a connection with the Venus Corporation, then they really wouldn’t dare to make a move.
For the Venus Corporation, dealing with the Fu Family would be a matter of one day, and dealing with them would take even less time.
“You’re asking me if the story circulating online is true?” Su Lianghui kept his composure, flashing a smile, “Actually, it’s not as exaggerated as they say. At most, he waited for Ruanruan for a few years and never got married.”
His ambiguous response made Second Uncle Su and Fourth Uncle Su hang up the phone with pounding hearts.
Su Lianghui’s expression was scornful.
They think they can compete with him?
He really couldn’t count on Su Ruan anymore, so he didn’t tell her about using public opinion as leverage.

Inside the hotpot restaurant.
Jiang Huaping finished reading the story and clicked her tongue, “Not a bad narrative, must have cost a pretty penny.”
Ying Zijin had seen it too and pondered, “Quite melodramatic, good material for a drama.”
Although she said that, she still sent Fu Yunshen a WeChat message.
A few days earlier, when she went to the Venus Corporation building, she accidentally saw a memo on the receptionist’s notebook noted in red—
Work hard to guard the CEO’s purity.
She decided to guard it as well.
“We don’t need to worry about it,” Jiang Huaping put down her phone, “Yunshen will handle it himself.”
She continued to cook food in the pot, handing Ying Zijin a bottle of Vital Soy Milk.
They ate and chatted.
“Liuying and I were born in the same year,” Jiang Huaping said. “Back then, my dad and Old Master Fu even discussed that if they had a boy and a girl, they would become in-laws.”
She smiled, “What a pity, neither of us carries one.”
Ying Zijin listened intently.
