Shuo Shuo, however, disagreed, believing the arrangement was inappropriate and insisting on starting at the same time.
Seeing his persistence, the two agreed.
Unexpectedly, in the next two rounds, Shuo Shuo performed exceptionally well, achieving two consecutive victories.
Jian Fan was convinced of his defeat. Xie Yifei was also beaming with joy, completely forgetting her own position.
"I lost, tell me, how will you punish me?" Jian Fan looked up at her, showing a demeanor of accepting defeat gracefully.
Xie Yifei smiled lightly, walked to the sofa, and sat down. "I'll note it down for now, and I'll tell you when I've thought of something."
After speaking, she took out her phone and began browsing local news and forums.
Jian Fan had no choice but to play other games with the three children.
When Shen Xi came downstairs, she saw the heartwarming scene and a happy smile spread across her face.
Suddenly, Xie Yifei glanced at her with a complex expression, stood up, took her hand, and led her to the study on the second floor.
"What's wrong, Yifei?" Shen Xi asked in confusion the moment the door closed.
"Quick, turn on the computer and open the local forum." Xie Yifei pulled her towards the computer.
Shen Xi didn't understand, but seeing her anxious expression, she knew an urgent event must have occurred.
Could it be related to her?
As she started the computer, she asked again, "What exactly is going on, Yifei?"
Xie Yifei moved the mouse and keyboard in front of her, typed a few words, and a long post appeared on the screen.
The title read, "K City's Richest Man with the Surname Qin is Ungrateful, Plays with Others' Feelings, and Arrogantly Breaks Off Engagement."
The content involved the richest man with the surname Qin being drugged back then, and how the victim sacrificed herself to save him.
He had promised to marry her and they were engaged, yet he treated her with indifference, dragging on for five years without ever mentioning marriage, and recently suddenly broke off the engagement.
It concluded by questioning the integrity and responsibility of such an ungrateful man, how he could establish himself in the business world.
"Xixi, look, the Qin surname billionaire mentioned here is clearly Qin Si Ye, and the victim must be Lu Yu Shan?" Xie Yifei glanced at Shen Xi, her expression one of schadenfreude.
She hadn't expected their five-year relationship to finally crumble.
It seemed Qin Si Ye had seen through Lu Yu Shan's true colors and wasn't entirely foolish, managing to cut his losses in time.
Shen Xi's gaze remained fixed on the screen. The content described was almost identical to what she had heard at the Qin residence that morning, indicating that Qin Si Ye had officially made a move against Lu Yu Shan.
She had to admit, Qin Si Ye had handled this matter brilliantly. She felt a sense of relief.
However, with Lu Yu Shan exposing him online like this, Qin Si Ye's reputation was bound to be damaged.
Scrolling down, indeed, many comments leaned towards the victimized woman, continuously labeling the man as a scumbag, heartless, and irresponsible.
"Xixi, look, the sentiment here is completely one-sided, favoring Lu Yu Shan. What is she trying to do? Is she aiming to use public opinion to force Qin Si Ye to yield and marry her?"
Xie Yifei slammed the table in anger.
"How can this woman be so shameless? Xixi, this is a rare opportunity to punish her, you cannot miss it."
Shen Xi's pupils contracted. She grabbed the keyboard and chuckled, "You're right."
How could she possibly miss such a good opportunity?
She had schemed to steal her boyfriend back then; today, she would completely ruin her marriage.
In the study at Xing Lan Bay, as Qin Si Ye opened his computer, he received a call from Zhao Ze.
"President, Lu Yu Shan has started her counterattack. She anonymously posted a thread on the local forum, extensively publicizing your relationship with her and damaging your reputation.
Tell me, should I find someone to suppress it?"
At this moment, Qin Si Ye had already found the post and said with an icy voice, "No need. Let it continue to ferment.
Your most important task now is to find that daigou and investigate whether Lu Yu Shan intentionally intended to buy that drug from her back then."
