Be Careful, Scum Dad! Mommy Is Back!

Chapter 105: Chapter 105: Protecting Her in Secret

The morning sun rose in the east, casting a pinkish glow across the sky.

Lu Xining woke up early, reaching for her phone on the bedside table to check the time.

She unlocked her screen saver and found that the post she hadn’t finished reading the night before was no longer visible.

Lu Xining exited the page and searched again.

All of the malicious online posts about her had mysteriously disappeared.

…Could it have been Haozi?

She opened her chat with Haozi and sure enough, saw his message.

[Haozi: Sister Ning, I sent the stuff to your email.]

[Haozi: Speaking of which, that Chen Li and Mr. Chen are really despicable. I gave them a taste of their own medicine!]

Lu Xining: It was indeed Haozi’s doing.

She had asked him to investigate the Chen Group and Chen Li yesterday, and opening her email, she found all the shady dealings of the Chen Group. Seeing the things that Chen Li had done, Lu Xining furrowed her brows.

She messaged Haozi: [Get in touch with those people.]

–

Mr. Chen woke up feeling like the sky had fallen!

“What’s going on!” Weren’t all these things supposed to be destroyed?

His subordinates were also unclear, trembling as they said, “Chairman Chen, the PR department is already contacting influencers to delete posts. We will report to you immediately once we have an update!”

Chen Li hummed a tune as she came downstairs, noticing her father looking worried, she asked caringly, “Dad, did you not sleep well last night? You look terrible.”

Seeing his daughter, a suspicion flashed through Mr. Chen’s mind. Could this be the Song Family’s doing?

Mr. Chen: “What happened yesterday?”

When the subject came up, Chen Li lifted her chin proudly, “Dad, don’t worry about it, I’ve found a way to take care of it!”

Mr. Chen advised her to behave and then hurried off to the company.

Drinking her milk, Chen Li gleefully awaited a new round of attention from netizens in the early morning, only to find that all her messages had vanished when she went online; even her video account with over a million followers was gone.

She immediately instructed her company’s staff to unblock her account but found out that the app developed by the Chen Group had been directly reported and taken offline.

Chen Li promptly had her driver take her to the company.

Before she could properly deal with the Chen Li matter, Lu Xining had taken leave from Ji Chao and Ji Ze.

She would later find out that Chen Li, failing to find her contact information, had actually gone directly to the kindergarten to confront people.

Meanwhile, in contrast to the chaos at the Chen Group, the Lu Family’s study was a picture of tranquility.

Lu Xining was teaching Ji Chao and Ji Ze calligraphy in the study.

Usually, a professional calligraphy teacher would come to teach, and she would provide guidance on top of that.

The two children were practicing very diligently.

Lu Nuonuo sat at her custom-made little desk with a children’s mini version of ink, brush, paper, and inkstone in front of her.

She hesitated several times to lift the brush but then put it down again.

Turning with a smile, she hugged Lu Xining’s leg, looking up and said, “Mommy, I want to draw.”

The gentle sunlight streamed through the window into the room as Lu Xining held her daughter back in her seat to draw with her.

The phone in her pocket vibrated once.

Lu Xining kissed her daughter’s head. “Nuonuo, keep drawing. Mommy needs to take a call.”

Little Dumpling turned and kissed her cheek and nodded her head.

Haozi: “Sister Ning, I’ve found the person.”

Lu Xining acknowledged and instructed him to stand down, to wait and see how things unfolded after three days.

For three consecutive days, Chen Group’s subsidiaries had been frequently exposed to scandals.

After failing to grab someone at the kindergarten, Chen Li immediately went online to wail, accusing Lu Xining’s silent backer of taking a stand against the Chen Family.

“I always thought my family had some clout and wouldn’t be easily bullied, but I didn’t expect today’s mistresses to be so rampant, even having their backers maliciously spread false information!”

Her tearful appearance was as pitiful as a pear blossom in the rain, as she defensively proclaimed, “Although my account has been blocked, justice will not be blocked, and I will make sure these despicable people stay buried in the darkness forever—I hope my babies will continue to support me!”

Taking into account the recent news about the Chen Family on the internet, netizens had no doubts about Chen Li’s words.

The situation escalated, dominating the trending searches.

Many bloggers stood by Chen Li, and their fans joined in on the attacks.

Some had found Jingzhou Kindergarten, obtaining firsthand information at a high price from the teachers and parents, but when they tried to post it online, they couldn’t upload it no matter what.

Someone posted about this phenomenon, akin to a “net blockade,” sparking widespread resonance online.

Unable to dig up specific addresses or company details for Lu Xining, they organized a mob to go to Jingzhou Kindergarten to toss paint and display banners reading “Mistress’s son, get out of Jingzhou Kindergarten.”

To avoid affecting other children, the school decided to close the kindergarten for an entire week.

In the kindergarten parents’ chat group, there were nothing but curses thrown at Lu Xining.

Chen Li felt quite smug, very satisfied with the current situation.

Little did she know that for every rumor she spread about Lu Xining, her father lost another project.

Across the distant ocean, rain pattered against the window.

Facing the storm outside, Ji Muye reminisced about the two weeks he had reunited with Lu Xining in Yunqiao Village.

“President Ji, Shi’an Group has ceased all cooperation with the Chen Family.”

Yan Dong continued, “The news that ‘Shi’an Group refuses to collaborate with any company associated with the Chen Family’ has also been released.”

In the past few days, other companies who had caught wind of the situation also began to cancel their contracts with the Chen Family one after another.

Bankruptcy was the inevitable outcome for the Chen Family.

“President Ji, won’t you reveal any of this to madam?” he didn’t understand his boss’s secretive ‘wife-protecting’ actions.

Ji Muye’s voice was deep and low: “No need.”

The wind howled outside the window, a precursor to another imminent rainstorm.

He shifted his gaze nonchalantly, “Prepare for our return to the country as soon as possible.”

In just three days.

Mr. Chen was at his wit’s end.

Discovering that Shi’an Group’s branches were pulling out of all collaborations made him want to pull his hair out.

He tried to contact Ji Muye directly but couldn’t even reach his secretary.

Furthermore, other companies also withdrew from collaborations, and the bank loans that had been agreed upon were not approved.

The Chen Family was already suffering from severe internal deficits, and without an injection of capital, they might not be able to pay their employees this month. If things continued like this, collapse was just a matter of time.

Mr. Chen sought help from his old friend Song Changhe, only to find out that Song Henian, his grandson, was now in charge of the Song Family.

To make things worse, Chen Li had offended Song Henian online just a few days ago.

Blisters of frustration formed on Mr. Chen’s lips, “Li Li, go and apologize to Song Henian, please, I’m begging you.”

“Dad, are you out of your mind! Song Henian is openly pursuing a shameless mistress, which is a slap in my face, and you expect me to apologize to him? I’m telling you no way, my pride as Chen Li won’t allow for it!”

Mr. Chen almost fainted with frustration, “The Chen Family is about to go bankrupt, what’s your pride worth now!”

Amid the father-daughter argument, Lu Xining made her move.

There was an online real-name report accusing Chen Li of campus bullying!

[My name is Wang Jingmin, a class of ’10 graduate from Jingnan University, and I want to report Chen Li (online nickname: ‘A Big Pear’) for subjecting me to campus bullying for four long years! I am reporting her father, Chen Youguo, for bribing the president of Jingnan University, threatening not to let me graduate in order to cover up his daughter’s acts of bullying!]
