Su Li’s face instantly changed.
She guiltily glanced towards the second floor. The man sitting there, clad in a black suit, had a cold expression.
It was Sheng Chenjin!
Back then, Sheng Chenjin had discovered that the woman who entered his room that night was a daughter of the Su family, and had directly come to their door.
Su Li quickly recalled the cufflink. Under Sheng Chenjin's questioning, she had quickly guessed that Su Luo, drugged, had slept with Sheng Chenjin.
Without blushing or her heart skipping a beat, she impersonated Su Luo.
She returned the cufflink to Sheng Chenjin.
From then on, whatever Su Li asked Sheng Chenjin for, he would directly give it to her.
Even when news spread that the two were engaged, the Sheng family did not issue a denial.
She was about to become the young mistress of the Sheng family; she absolutely couldn't let her plans be ruined like this!
She instructed the staff to turn off the LED display.
"Everyone, listen to my explanation. These photos must have been photoshopped by someone with ill intentions. I hope you won't believe them. Our Su Corporation will definitely pursue legal action."
"In my many years of working in this industry, I, Su Li, have always been dedicated and diligent. I have never acted inappropriately."
"After all, I already have someone I like."
With a few words, she tried to brush the matter aside. However, everyone present was sharp-witted.
They were all waiting to watch the show.
Su Li spoke carelessly; what would be the outcome?
Some were even excitedly anticipating Sheng Chenjin's reaction.
He was the crown prince of the Sheng family, and to be toyed with like this by a woman—the Su family might be ruined.
Su Li looked up pitifully, her gaze locked onto Sheng Chenjin.
She thought Sheng Chenjin would help her explain, would back her up. As long as Sheng Chenjin spoke, she would have the means to publicly announce their engagement.
However, Sheng Chenjin showed no reaction. He sat there indifferently, not even looking at her.
Su Li's face instantly turned awkward.
Many people pointed at her.
"Mommy, did I do a good job?"
Shi Xiaoyu nudged Shi Xin Xin’s hand, tilting his head and seeking praise.
Shi Xin Xin finally withdrew her attention from the spectacle, lowered her head, and smiled.
"The good part is yet to come."
The on-site staff turned off the LED screen, but the press conference venue erupted into chaos. The reporters present practically shoved their microphones into Su Li’s mouth, incessantly questioning her.
"Miss Su, you claim these pictures are photoshopped. Do you have any evidence?"
"You say you have someone you like, yet you were involved with another man. Is this your normal lifestyle?"
"Miss Su, are you intentionally deceiving Young Master Sheng's affections?"
The security guards at the venue surrounded Su Li.
She was now as pathetic as she had been proud moments ago.
Security escorted her away.
As long as she left this disaster zone, she could issue a statement later to explain things.
But a sharp voice interrupted everything.
"All of this is true!"
A strange woman appeared at the entrance of the venue. Her eyes were red as she walked step by step towards Su Li.
"Not only is Su Li’s private life a mess, but all her works were designed by me. She herself is a useless person who can do nothing."
The woman in black revealed even bigger scandals!
"So her designs were all stolen!"
"I can't believe she looks so decent but does things that even dogs wouldn't do."
"This woman seems to be the former designer of their company!"
"Then what she's saying is true?"
"And she was the one who released those photos?"
The venue descended into utter chaos, with even the security guards unable to control the situation.
Shi Xin Xin leisurely watched the commotion from the back with her three children.
Su Li’s expression was truly a sight to behold.
Bruised and purple, filled with impotent rage.
Su Li cared most about her reputation. When she had stolen others' work and driven them out of the company, leaving them with no way to make a living, she should have foreseen this day.
"Alas, a genius designer has fallen."
Shi Xiaoyu shook his head, his tone regretful, but his eyes were full of schadenfreude.
Shi Xin Xin casually tapped his head.
"Don't be rude."
"Okay."
The group stood out as the most distinctive presence in the entire venue.
On the second floor, Sheng Chenjin leaned lazily on the sofa, coldly watching the commotion below with a detached expression.
"Mr. Sheng, shall we take control of the situation?"
"No need."
Sheng Chenjin’s slender eyes were profoundly dark.
Four whole years.
No woman had appeared by his side, and he seemed to have lost interest in women again.
Even facing Su Li, he didn't feel the same as before.
He had even wondered if Su Li was the person he had been looking for.
Just like now, Su Li had shed her gentle facade in front of him, her face contorted as she faced reporters, speaking without restraint and jumping with rage.
She had none of the composure of a lady from a good family.
She was even more detestable.
Sheng Chenjin's gaze shifted, and he saw the four people leisurely watching the show in a corner below.
Three identical children and a mysterious woman dressed in black.
The woman had fair skin, bright eyes, and a slight upward curve to her rosy lips.
Sheng Chenjin suddenly stood up from the sofa.
Why did these children look so familiar?
His assistant also noticed something amiss with Mr. Sheng and immediately followed his gaze.
Then, he covered his mouth in surprise!
"Mr. Sheng, these children..."
Why do they look exactly like you did as a child?!
"Investigate who these people are."
Sheng Chenjin said with a chilling tone.
These three children clearly belonged to the Sheng family, otherwise, why would they resemble him so much?
He hadn't been with any woman since that one night four years ago, so these definitely weren't his.
Could they be his elder brother's?
Sheng Chenjin took out his phone and directly took a picture, sending it to his elder brother.
"Yours?"
There was no reply from the other side, likely because he was busy.
He frowned, strode downstairs, and walked towards the four people who were watching the show.
Amidst the chaos, Su Li saw Sheng Chenjin heading downstairs and thought he was finally going to speak up for her. She immediately relaxed, adjusted her pitiful expression, and looked at Sheng Chenjin with feigned tenderness.
But Sheng Chenjin didn't even spare her a glance. He walked past her towards the side!
Su Li narrowed her eyes displeasedly and followed his gaze in that direction.
"Impossible!"
Her pupils instantly widened in shock.
It was Su Luo?
How could it be!
Wasn't she dead?
How could she be here?
Why was Sheng Chenjin looking for her?
Did he already know that Su Luo was the person he was looking for?!
No, he couldn't know the truth!
Su Li violently shoved the reporters in front of her and frantically ran towards the corner. Before Sheng Chenjin could speak, she aggressively raised her hand and swiped at Shi Xin Xin's face.
"Get this woman arrested! She planned all of this today."
"She even dared to photoshop pictures to frame me and deliberately accuse me of plagiarism!"
With a few words, she shifted all the blame onto Shi Xin Xin.
Shi Xin Xin smiled.
Su Li was still the same Su Li, brainless and selfish.
She still dared to try and harm her.
The falling hand was intercepted by Shi Xin Xin. She smiled radiantly, her eyes sparkling with confidence and aura.
"Miss Su, if you can't use your brain, donate it to someone in need. Don't waste it."
She then slapped Su Li across the face.
