Chapter 116: Chapter 116: Sensational News that Shook the Entire City
“Ye Shu, you worthless rat, just you wait! Sooner or later, I will make sure you die a horrible death!”
Behind her, the furious voice of Ye Shengli resounded.
Ye Shu chuckled and shook her head, hailed a taxi and headed straight back to Shengjing Garden.
Lawyer Liu had sent a message saying that all the documents were ready and had been submitted to the court.
The court hearing was scheduled for 3 p.m. the next day.
Ye Shu was in high spirits; after dinner, she took a bath, went to bed feeling wonderful, and prepared to be well-rested for the court appearance the next day.
Ye Shu was still half asleep when she was awakened by a call from Lawyer Liu.
“Miss Ye, you don’t need to go to court anymore. Gan Xiaotian has confessed to fabricating the scandal between you and Lawyer An.”
“Gan Xiaotian? That’s impossible!” Ye Shu jolted upright, wondering if she had woken up dazed.
She stretched out her hand and pinched her thigh hard—ouch!
It wasn’t a dream! How could this be happening?
“It’s absolutely true. Miss Ye, you can check out the news. I’m heading to court right now to withdraw the lawsuit on your behalf,” said Lawyer Liu before hanging up.
Ye Shu rolled out of bed and turned on the computer.
Every major news section was reporting the incident.
All fingers were pointing at Gan Xiaotian.
Gan Xiaotian personally confessed that she had used a compromising video of Ye Zhongming to try and blackmail Ye Shu, and upon her failure, harbored a grudge that led her to fabricate rumors of Ye Shu involved in promiscuous scandals with Lawyer An and other men.
She, out of fear, subsequently staged her own kidnapping to frame Ye Xinyu, hoping to escape culpability.
An uncensored, high-definition video of Ye Zhongming and Gan Xiaotian surfaced online.
The entire incident transpired under the sheets, making it impossible to determine exactly what occurred.
But the movements were intensely vigorous, leading onlookers to naturally assume that Ye Zhongming and Gan Xiaotian had engaged in such relations.
Ye Shu’s face turned deathly pale.
She couldn’t fathom why Gan Xiaotian would suddenly come forward to take the fall for Ye Xinyu.
Moreover, taking on major crimes, such as staging her own kidnapping and making false police reports.
Given her social influence, Gan Xiaotian’s sentencing would be severe.
Gan Xiaotian, who never contemplated taking responsibility for three years of defamation, logically wouldn’t commit such acts.
What was utterly unreasonable was that amidst such grave accusations, Gan Xiaotian also released the video with Ye Zhongming online, increasing her vilification by the public!
Only Ye Shengli, that beastly father and daughter, could pull off such a deed!
But how had they made Gan Xiaotian submit?
What secrets lay hidden within this affair?
Ye Shu wanted to ask Gan Xiaotian, but then Ye Xinyu’s call came in.
Ye Xinyu called again.
Ye Shu hung up again!
Ye Xinyu kept calling!
Frustrated, Ye Shu finally blacklisted her number.
Just as she blacklisted Ye Xinyu’s number, she received a text from Ye Shengli, “Ye Shu, didn’t anticipate I could bounce back, did you? Think you’re all high and mighty with your sponsor? I have one too, the top heartthrob of Jin City—Sheng Shaochen!”
Was Ye Xinyu delusional?
Ye Shu scoffed and tossed her cellphone aside.
However, out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a headline on her computer screen—Ye Entertainment had officially signed a partnership agreement with Shengshi Group that morning.
It even included a video of Ye Shengli and the new project manager of Shengshi Group signing the agreement.
Ye Shu was utterly shocked; she rapidly scrolled with her mouse and viewed the article multiple times before jumping onto a financial website.
She discovered that the financial news network was already ablaze.
The news of Ye Shengli climbing aboard the major support of Shengshi Group had spread like wildfire.
