Shi Xinxin glanced at him in her spare time, "What's wrong with you?
She handed the paper cup cake that Xiao Qian brought over to Sheng Chenjin, smiling as she watched him.
Sheng Chenjin shrugged slightly, "Seeing your family's scene, I feel so sad, as if I'm an outsider."
Hearing him speak, the three little ones who were previously all smiles suddenly felt guilty and quickly came over to comfort him.
Xiao Yu: "Daddy, you were with us the whole time, and we talked to you a lot!"
Xiao Yu: "Yes, yes, we were just too excited to see Mommy, so we accidentally overlooked Daddy. Don't overthink it, Daddy."
Xiao Qian nodded, "We always have Daddy in our hearts!"
Listening to the little ones' words, Sheng Chenjin's expression improved slightly. He cast a triumphant glance at Shi Xinxin, as if showing off that he had gained the love of the three little ones.
Shi Xinxin rolled her eyes at him, a smile on her face. She found him so childish for being jealous of the children.
She casually picked up an egg tart and saw the three little dumplings gathered in front of her, "Did you make all these?"
The dumplings nodded in unison, "That's right. Mommy was too bored, so we tried making them from online videos. We didn't expect them to turn out so well."
Shi Xinxin took a bite of the egg tart. It was not bad. She already had a plan in mind: she would have these three children learn to make whatever she wanted to eat in the future, saving both money and effort.
Just then, her phone rang from her bag.
Shi Xinxin thought it might be Yang Yue calling, so she wiped her hands with a tissue and answered.
Yang Yue: "CEO Shi, the company has successfully pushed the recording you mentioned to the trending search. The effect is very good, and now the online outcry has turned in Su Li's favor."
Shi Xinxin was not surprised at all. She praised, "Very good. Thank you for your hard work at the company this time, and thank you to the PR department for mediating with those employees. Remember to collect your red envelopes in the work group later."
Yang Yue smiled broadly, "Okay, then CEO Shi, please get some rest early."
Shi Xinxin responded and then hung up the phone.
Sheng Chenjin, sitting next to her, had heard the entire phone call clearly. He mused, "That recording that went viral, is it Su Li's dark past?"
Shi Xinxin snapped her fingers. Seeing the three gossipy little ones beside them, she changed her tune, "Alright, it's getting late. You guys hurry up and finish the homework assigned by your training class."
The three little ones' faces instantly fell.
Xiao Yu sighed, "We can see the answers to that homework at a glance. If we still have to write it, wouldn't it be a waste of time?"
The other two nodded in agreement.
Although this was a highly challenging intelligence enhancement class, for the three of them with IQs far exceeding their peers, both the classwork and the competition problems were child's play.
Shi Xinxin glanced at Sheng Chenjin and sighed, marveling at the power of genes.
"No, even if you know the answers, your brain won't remember them if you don't practice. Didn't I tell you? Pride leads to regression. It's best to put away those little thoughts of yours," Shi Xinxin narrowed her eyes.
In the end, the three little ones reluctantly picked up their pens to complete their homework.
Shi Xinxin then opened her phone and found the trending search interface, "Here, look, this is the recording mentioned in the phone call."
She tapped on the recording in the trending search and played it for Sheng Chenjin.
Su Li's venomous voice came through: "You're just a bastard, how dare you compare yourself to me! It's pure wishful thinking!"
Then, a second voice sounded. Hearing this voice, Sheng Chenjin paused slightly.
Shi Xinxin propped her chin with one hand, "The other person is me."
Sheng Chenjin didn't listen to the recording further. He looked at her, "Was it very difficult for you when you were in the Su family before?"
Shi Xinxin was startled and nodded frankly, "Yes, my mother died, and there was no place for me in this family. Being bullied by them was a common occurrence."
Seeing her recount that tragic experience so lightly, Sheng Chenjin's heart ached to the point of suffocation. After a while, he slowly said, "It's alright now. From now on, I'll be with you."
Shi Xinxin smiled, "Don't worry. Even if you leave one day, I'll have to sue you first before I let you go."
Their attention returned to the recording. It was halfway through.
Su Li's malicious voice fell heavily: "Don't forget, you're just a dog of our Su family. How dare you talk about affection with me!"
Shi Xinxin said weakly, "Su Li, we share the same bloodline, you..."
"Stop talking!" Su Li roared.
It seemed to be raining heavily then, accompanied by Su Li's monstrous voice: "If it weren't for you, the deal between the Su family and Mr. Zhang wouldn't have fallen through! All of this is your fault. Why did you go into the wrong room!"
Sheng Chenjin suddenly remembered something, and then Shi Xinxin said to him, "What Su Li is saying is about the time I entered your room by mistake."
Sheng Chenjin nodded. For some reason, in addition to anger, he felt a touch of emotion.
Perhaps it was fate that brought them together.
In the recording, Shi Xinxin first asked in surprise for a moment, then slowly said in disbelief, "So you're saying you deliberately let me into that room?"
"Exactly! As long as you and Mr. Zhang successfully slept together, the Su family's cooperation this time would have been settled. How could there be so many changes like now!"
The recording cut off at this point.
A moment of silence fell between them. Shi Xinxin slid her finger across the screen, looking at the recording that had climbed to the top of the trending search. It had over two million likes and one million comments!
This showed how popular the trending search was.
Shi Xinxin clicked into the comments. As expected, they were all filled with curses, but this time, the curses were directed at Su Li.
Sweetheart Baby: I knew Xinxin would never be that kind of person. It turns out some people maliciously created this trending search. Now the truth is out!
Emerald Cabbage: Those people just got slapped in the face. I swear I'll never use anything from that person's brand!
The comments were unanimously against Su Li. It wasn't Yang Yue manipulating the narrative; it was simply that the recording revealed Su Li's nature. To prioritize profit, she had even chosen to send her own sister to hell. Such a wicked person was truly rare.
Netizens who saw this news all chimed in to scold Su Li, calling her morally bankrupt.
Shi Xinxin was very satisfied with the result. She closed her phone, content.
Meanwhile, on the other side, someone who was also scrolling through the comments furiously threw their phone against the wall.
"Shi Xinxin, you bitch!" Su Li's face contorted with rage as she roared.
