Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
If the scandal came from the paparazzi or tabloid account, they were probably clutching at straws to go viral.
However, the news was exposed by Yuan Yu. Someone soon stood out and identified Yuan Yu. He was the son of Su Yi and his wife, Yuan Heng. Yuan Yu grew up abroad and never made a public appearance.
The matter provided food for thought, considering it came from the person himself. The authenticity of it aside, Yuan Yu’s relationship with Su Yi was enough of a jaw-dropping fact.
Su Yi was on his way home when he saw the news. Sitting in the car, he was happily chatting to his assistant about being close to sealing the deal with Li Corporation. He was going to sign the contract first thing in the morning. The 100-billion-yuan contract could save the Su family from all financial troubles.
The next minute, he fell from heaven to hell. Su Yi was in shock as he stared at his feed in disbelief. With shaking hands, he tapped on the news.
His eyes turned bloodshot as he boiled in resentment when his gaze arrived at Yuan Yu’s name. About to lose his mind after reading the entire post, he menacingly clasped his phone.
He should have known better when he kept the little sh*t alive as opposed to sending him packing to his death with his mother. Su Yi provided Yuan Yu with everything in life but was rewarded with this instead. So much for not biting the hand that fed him.
In any case, Su Yi had faced rough crossings in his life to deal with the matter. It did not take him long before he managed to pull himself together. He gave Yuan Yu a call and unleashed his fury. “Yuan Yu, delete the post right now. You better write another post on Weibo to clarify, or I’ll kill you.”
No one spoke on the other end.
Rage was tearing Su Yi apart. He would end the little sh*t if he was in front of him now. “Did you hear me? You better do as you’re told.”
“Su Yi, you haven’t changed one bit. Do you ever have nightmares over the years?” Yuan Yu tauntingly scoffed. Su Yi still refused to show repentance. Did he not at least feel a bit of remorse or sorry toward Mom?
Well, Yuan Yu was left with no choice but to let Su Yi burn in the fires of hell. A monster like Su Yi deserved to die.
“Your mom betrayed me first.” Su Yi’s teeth were creaking from biting on too hard. His chest was heaving heavily.
“You made up so many lies that you yourself believed in them.” Yuan Yu snorted. “It’s said that people tend to speak kindly when they’re at their deathbeds. I can’t believe you’re still fooling yourself even though death’s knocking on your door.”
Xixi was right. People like him should burn in hell and never be reincarnated ever again. There was no need for Yuan Yu to show mercy.
“Your mom… The b*tch cheated on me first.” With bloodshot eyes, Su Yi furiously yelled.
“My mom’s been dead for over two decades. Don’t tarnish her name.” Yuan Yu’s voice reflected indignation. “My mom and grandpa are waiting for you down there. If you still have any conscience left in you, you won’t need me to take matters into my own hands.”
“You want to kill me?!” Su Yi snickered in fury. “You little sh*t! I’m your father. Your father. God forbid if you lay your hands on me.”
“Oh, you’re using God’s name now, huh? Where were you when you and Li Jingran harmed Mom and Grandpa and claimed the Yuan family’s inheritance as your own?” Yuan Yu’s tone was flat. “Su Yi, what goes around comes around. Just sit back, relax, and enjoy the gift I’ve given you.”
“Yuan Yu!” Su Yi growled but the call was terminated. He dialed Yuan Yu’s number again, but the call could no longer get through. He was about to be swallowed by the darkness when his phone rang. It was Mr. Fang of Li Corporation.
Su Yi forced himself to calm down and stay sharp as he took the call. “Mr. Fang, is something the matter?”
Fang Chu’s offhanded voice came on the line. “Mr. Su, I just want to tell you that the meeting for tomorrow’s contract is canceled. Li Corporation has decided to terminate all partnerships with your company.”
Although Su Yi’s heart sank to the pit of his stomach, he tried to get it together. “Mr. Fang, what’s the meaning of this? We agreed to this. Why the sudden end of cooperation?”
“Do you really need me to tell you? Haven’t you seen the news? Reputation matters most to Li Corporation. We don’t work with the disreputable people.” Fang Chu smiled. “Mr. Su, I think your priority should be your own morals.”
“Mr. Fang, you can’t just take other people’s word for it. I’m not that kind of person. It’s all fake. He’s setting me up. I’ll take care of the scandal. Please, please give me a chance.” Su Yi pleaded, but animosity loomed over his grimacing expression.
Who did Fang Chu think he was? He was only the Li family’s lapdog, acting like the big man and riding roughshod over Su Yi. Once the Su family regained their former glory, Su Yi was going to have his revenge starting from Fang Chu.
“I’ll wait for your good news then.” Fang Chu grinned. “I wish you good luck.”
Seeing a glimmer of hope, Su Yi immediately uttered, “Don’t worry, Mr. Fang. I’ll deal with it and set the record straight.”
The person on the other line hung up before he could finish. Anger tempted Su Yi to throw his phone, but he managed to hold back the urge. He then dialed another number.
The person he was looking for was Goody-Two-Shoes, a famous internet shill in showbiz. This person had many cyber troops under him and was capable of sweeping any scandals away and whitewashing the affected individual’s image.
With the call connected, Su Yi brushed off the person’s bootlicking greetings and went straight to the point. “You must have seen the dirt on me. Whatever it takes, I want the news wiped off the internet in half an hour.”
“Mr. Su, that is hard. Ms. Li and your scandal is everywhere. It’s not going to be easy to block and delete all trails.” Goody-Two-Shoes was put in a difficult position.
“Name your price.” Su Yi did not care anymore. He was in desperate need to take control of the situation before the news spread further than it already had. Everything else was not important so long as his business with Li Corporation went through.
“How about this? I’ll cut to the chase. I’ve got you covered for 100 million. What do you think?” Goody-Two-Shoes said.
Su Yi fell into thought before gritting his teeth. “Are you sure you can handle it?”
Goody-Two-Shoes chuckled. “Mr. Su, do you still not trust me? When did I ever fail you? You can consider the job done.”
Su Yi made up his mind. “Fine.”
Goody-Two-Shoes did not forget to kiss his *ss. “But the money… I need you to pay up beforehand. I can’t get people on the job without the money.”
Su Yi closed his eyes and opened them while he took a deep breath.. “Give me your bank details.”
