The lady is pregnant! Third Master, please restrain yourself after the marriage.

Shen Xingxu clicked on the trending topics and saw that the top five trending topics were all about Shen Xingqing.

The top trending topic was a newly registered account that posted the original manuscript of the lyrics and music.

The dates marked below the original manuscript are all earlier than the dates Shen Xingqing published.

In other words, if Shen Xingqing cannot produce the original manuscript to prove her innocence, it means that all these works were stolen by her.

After reading this, Shen Xingxu's expression changed drastically.

He immediately felt worried and quickly called Shen Xingqing.

As soon as the call connected, Shen Xingqing's sobbing voice came from the other end:

"Brother, they've really ruined me. The internet is full of people cursing me, saying I stole other people's work."

Shen Xingqing was sobbing uncontrollably, which broke Shen Xingxu's heart.

He had always cherished and protected this little sister as she grew up, and he couldn't bear to see her cry like this.

"Qingqing, don't cry, calm down."

Shen Xingxu gently coaxed her for a while until Shen Xingqing finally stopped crying.

Shen Xingqing said aggrievedly:

"But after so many years, I've long since lost all my original manuscripts. As you know, brother, once when I was cleaning out, I accidentally burned some old things."

Even my computer is broken. Where am I supposed to find the original manuscript to prove my innocence now?

Shen Xingqing's voice was soft and sweet, with a choked sob in it.

Shen Xingxu initially suspected that Shen Xingqing had really stolen Qin Huan's things, but after hearing what she said, all his doubts immediately disappeared.

"You didn't do it, so even if she wanted to frame you, she wouldn't succeed."

Shen Xingxu said with slight worry, "The problem now is that as long as it is proven that her original manuscript is fake, then you can be cleared of charges."

Shen Xingqing cried again: "But she hates me so much, she's just deliberately messing with me, how can I prove she's lying?"

Shen Xingxu was heartbroken by her crying and quickly comforted her, "Qingqing, don't cry. I will definitely handle this matter."

He raised his hand and glanced at his watch: "How about this, you go back to Gangcheng first. I'm worried about leaving you alone in Nancheng."

With a sob in her voice, Shen Xingqing replied, "Okay."

Shen Xingxu hung up the phone and covered his face in frustration.

Jiang Nan and Qin Huan remained calm when they saw the trending topics online.

Qin Huan sat in Jiang Nan's office, legs crossed, back leaning back, looking somewhat smug.

"I really want to see her get the short end of the stick with my own eyes." Qin Huan sneered.

Jiang Nan glanced at her: "If you really see it later, don't be soft-hearted."

Qin Huan sat up abruptly, her face serious: "That's a bit of an insult. Do you think I'm that kind of soft-hearted person?"

Jiang Nan raised an eyebrow: "You've improved a lot this time, unlike before."

Having received approval, Qin Huan's face beamed with a smug smile: "Of course."

After thinking for a moment, Qin Huan's smile faded, and a bitter smile appeared on her lips:

"After all these years, if I still haven't come to terms with reality, then it's not naivety, it's stupidity."

Jiang Nan looked at her, a pang of heartache rising in his eyes: "That's because you're kind, but those people don't deserve your kindness."

Qin Huan nodded emphatically, as if she had made a huge decision: "Okay, we'll do it your way."

Jiang Nan sat down opposite her, raised her hand to look at her watch: "It won't be long before Shen Xingxu has to come looking for you again."

Qin Huan had guessed this would happen, and didn't say anything for a moment.

To be honest, she was quite envious of Shen Xingqing, who had such a loving older brother.

She initially thought she had joined the Shen family. Although they weren't blood siblings, she tried her best to integrate into their family.

But the result was that Shen Xingqing repeatedly slandered her.

The first time, they accused her of stealing her hair clip.

The second time, they accused her of stealing her necklace and of deliberately sabotaging her homework.

The third time, they said she ruined her piano.

They never listened to her explanations, insisting that she was jealous of Shen Xingqing.

Later, Shen Xingqing went even further, falling down the stairs herself and then falsely accusing Shen Xingqing of pushing her.

She left the Shen family after that day.

Thinking about all this, Qin Huan felt a tightness in her chest.

When she came to her senses, she found Jiang Nan looking at her.

"Thinking about those things again?" Jiang Nan looked at her with heartache, his face full of understanding.

Qin Huan smiled indifferently: "If I don't think about it, how can I remember how they treated me in the past?"

Jiang Nan pursed her lips and said nothing.

At this moment, Chen Lin knocked on the door and came in:

"President Jiang, President Shen is here and wants to see you."

Jiang Nan looked at Qin Huan with an expression that said, "I knew it."

Qin Huan nodded to Jiang Nan, signaling her to let Shen Xingxu in.

"Please invite him in," Jiang Nan said, looking at Chen Lin.

A moment later, Shen Xingxu came in from outside and was not surprised to see Qin Huan there.

He had someone investigate Qin Huan's schedule and learned that she was with the Jiang family, so he rushed over without saying a word.

Shen Xingxu's face was gloomy, and his eyes were coldly fixed on Qin Huan:

"What exactly do you want?"

Shen Xingxu's tone was cold and questioning.

Qin Huan turned to look at him and asked, amused:

Are you asking me?

Shen Xingxu's temple veins throbbed:

"You've gone through all this trouble just to get revenge on Qingqing. Tell me, what exactly do you want?"

Shen Xingxu's eyes turned to disgust, just like back then.

Back then, he held the injured Shen Xingqing in his arms and angrily shouted at her, "Leave the Shen family! There's no place for you here!"

Even now, Qin Huan still feels like she's being cut by a knife when she thinks of that short sentence.

The home she once thought would provide shelter from the wind and rain ultimately collapsed within two years.

Jiang Nan's face darkened, and he said coldly:

"Before you say that, please investigate thoroughly what Shen Xingqing has done."

Shen Xingxu wouldn't listen to any of this; he only believed that Jiang Nan and Qin Huan were in cahoots.

"You two have a deep bond, so I don't blame you for helping Qin Huan deal with Qingqing."

"For Third Master's sake, I don't want to say anything more to you. You might as well just tell me what your purpose is and what you want."

Shen Xingxu adopted an arrogant and condescending attitude, a far cry from his former approachable demeanor.

Jiang Nan frowned, and before she could say anything, Qin Huan stood up and said sarcastically:

"Then listen up, I'm going to ruin Shen Xingqing's reputation."

Shen Xingxu clenched his fist, his fingers cracking.

"Qin Huan, are you crazy? Qingqing has never harmed you from beginning to end, why are you treating her like this?"

Qin Huan listened to what he was saying and suddenly found it laughable.

There's none?

Have!

It's just that Shen Xingxu never believed her.

"Since you've said that, why are you coming to me begging? If you're so capable, let Shen Xingqing prove her innocence instead of coming here to bark like a dog!"

"You're becoming increasingly outrageous!"

Shen Xingxu's face was filled with anger, but his eyes were filled with restraint. "Fine, since you say so, then don't blame me for being impolite."

Shen Xingxu turned and left, his resolute figure making Qin Huan feel even more desolate.

Jiang Nan walked around the coffee table to her and hugged her:

"Okay, stop looking, he's already gone."

Qin Huan frowned deeply, saying nothing, and simply let Jiang Nan hug her tightly.

Jiang Nan hugged her tightly, feeling sorry for her; any words of comfort seemed superfluous.

It took Qin Huan a while to calm down. She laughed self-deprecatingly, "Alright, you're going to make fun of me again."

Jiang Nan raised his hand and tapped her forehead:

"Alright, stop trying to save face in front of me. Maybe Shen Xingxu will change his mind once he goes back and investigates."

Qin Huan's face was cold: "This has nothing to do with me. All I want is for Shen Xingqing to give everything back."

"Yes." Jiang Nan looked at her sincerely, "That's how it should be."

That evening, Jiang Nan and Xiao Beixun sat at the dining table, and Xiao Beixun finally asked about what had happened during the day.

Jiang Nan truthfully stated, "Qin Huan does care a lot about Shen Xingxu; her feelings for him are very complicated."

He was like an older brother, or perhaps a kind of redemption.

Of course, Jiang Nan didn't say these words out loud.

"So, what does Qin Huan want to do?"

Xiao Beixun raised his eyelids, looked at Jiang Nan, and placed a bowl of soup in front of her.

"Drink this."

Jiang Nan was used to his doting affection, so she obediently took a sip before continuing:

"Shen Xingqing owes her all of this. It's perfectly acceptable for her to seek justice now."

Besides, Shen Xingqing got to where she is today with the help of others, enjoying the limelight and adulation. Doesn't she feel a little guilty at all?

Xiao Beixun curled his lips in a mocking smile: "People only care about interests. As long as the interests are right, they won't care about anything else."

Jiang Nan nodded thoughtfully, indicating his agreement.

This is indeed the case.

As long as the benefits are large enough, no one cares how the benefits are obtained.

Whether it's Shen Xingqing or the others from the Wen family, they're all the same.

Shen Xingqing secretly returned to Hong Kong the next morning. Thanks to Shen Xingxu's arrangement, no one knew she was back.

So when they got back to the airport, no one noticed them, and no fans came to pick them up.

As soon as she got in the car, she headed straight for the Shen family's house.

When she got home, she hugged Shen's father and cried her heart out.

Qin Hui stood to the side, at a loss, worried that Shen's father would blame her again, so she quickly stepped forward to comfort her:

"Qingqing, don't cry. If you keep crying, your eyes will get swollen and you won't be pretty anymore. Auntie asked the kitchen to make you some nourishing soup. Go and drink some first."

You must not have eaten much lately, right?

Shen Xingqing lost her temper and shoved her away:

"Don't touch me, and don't pretend to be nice to me here!"

Now your daughter is going against me; ultimately, it's because she blames the Shen family for not accepting her.

Shen Xingqing lifted her head from her father's arms and glared resentfully at Qin Hui.

Her face was covered in tears, making her look pitiful and heartbreaking.

"My father shouldn't have married you in the first place. If it weren't for you bringing that kind of person with you, none of this would have happened today."

"She bullied me all those years ago, and now she wants to ruin me. It's all your fault!"

Even when Shen Xingqing complained about Qin Hui, she looked aggrieved, and no one thought she was being unreasonable.

Qin Hui stood there stiffly, completely at a loss for words.

Mr. Shen's face darkened, and he said unhappily, "You either have to talk to Qin Huan about this properly, or don't blame us for being rude to her."

Mr. Shen was furious, and Qin Hui quickly nodded and assured him:

"I will definitely talk to her properly. Qingqing, don't cry, go and eat something, Auntie is so worried about you."

Shen Xingqing ignored her and continued to sob in her father's arms.

Shen Xingxu frowned and said gently to Qin Hui, "Qingqing was just angry, that's why she said those things. Auntie, please don't take it to heart."

Qin Hui nodded with relief: "I understand."

With that, she returned to her room, feeling utterly dejected.

Shen Xingxu watched her departing figure, then looked at Shen Xingqing, his expression suddenly becoming complicated.

He has already sent people to investigate the authenticity of those original manuscripts, and the results are expected today.

He didn't even dare to think about whether he should believe what Qin Huan said if the original manuscript was real.
