Su Wanwan turned abruptly towards Lin Qiao, “What exactly have I done to you? From the first day of school, you’ve been targeting me non-stop. I chose to be the bigger person and not argue with you, and yet you keep making my life miserable. Behind my back you smear my name and isn’t that enough? Now you’re even posting about me online! Have I desecrated your family’s graves or something?”
Her relentless barrage of questions left Lin Qiao both enraged and flustered, making her finally blurt out, “Are you suggesting I’ve wronged you somehow? Can you deny that you’ve ever messed around with men? Are those photos of you partying also fake? Now that you’ve married into a wealthy family, you want to whitewash your past? Can you deny you only had eyes for the Huo Family’s wealth? Moreover, the time you won first place at the evening gala was because Mr. Huo and the director gave you perfect scores! Can you deny you obtained those through backdoor channels? And now you’re playing the innocent here? Isn’t it merely because you have the Huo Family supporting you… Ah!”
Su Wanwan slapped her sharply across the face.
Everyone present jumped, startled. Ji Jie’s eyes bulged wide, and Officer Lao Liang’s heart lurched. As for the reporters, they frantically snapped pictures. Wow, is Mrs. Huo fierce!
Huo Jingshen himself raised an eyebrow slightly at her display.
Clutching her face, Lin Qiao felt a mix of pain, anger, and humiliation. Before she could speak, Su Wanwan suddenly started laughing.
Her laughter was brilliantly dazzling.
As seen in Lin Qiao’s eyes, it was a mix of smugness and cruelty.
Su Wanwan said, “I won’t deny my past, but now, yes, I do have someone to lean on! And what about you? All you can do is slander me behind my back and secretly envy me. Your mind is dirty, so everything you see is dirty. You, a devious scoundrel, are nothing but a lowly clown! I feel like I’m wasting my breath even talking to you! Anyway, the evidence is clear. You can’t accept it, can you? You hate me, don’t you? Let’s let the police teach you how to behave then!”
Officer Wu cleared his throat and stepped forward, “Lin, you’re suspected of deliberately fabricating and circulating false information, defaming others, damaging their reputation, and the severity of your actions amount to cyber slander. Please come with us to the police station to assist with investigations.” Cyber slander?
What’s that?
No! Terrified, Lin Qiao recoiled, “I…I…I made a mistake, I really did.” “You’ve realized your mistake now?” Su Wanwan’s expression was icy, her words crisp, “It’s too late.”
“No, I don’t want to go to the police station.” Lin Qiao’s panicked gaze flickered over each face before finally landing on Jian Shuhao. She rushed over to him seeking help, “Shuhao, Shuhao, please speak up for me. I didn’t mean to, everything I did was because of you… Shuhao, will you plea for me?” Jian Shuhao’s expression was blank, “Lin Qiao, when you do wrong, you must face the consequences. I told you not to do this childish and lowly things yet you didn’t listen.”
“Shuhao, how could you do this to me?” Lin Qiao screamed like someone who had lost her mind, her eyes brimming with resentment and envy, “If it wasn’t because you were always flirting with Su Wanwan, would I have done this?” Jian Shuhao’s face had a hint of embarrassment.
Su Wanwan couldn’t help but flinch.
But no matter how hard you flirt, she’s the wife of the Huo Family, she has a rich husband, did you really think she’d care about you? She’s only using you, you’re nothing but her backup plan, backup!”
The impatient policemen finally stepped in and escorted Lin Qiao and Zhou Xiaohan away.
Lin Qiao’s rants could still be heard till they were out of earshot, Jian Shuhao left the office, his face crimson with embarrassment.
Ji Jie coughed awkwardly a few times.
Su Wanwan was left speechless.
This Lin Qiao!
Even on her way down, she didn’t miss a chance to smear the reputation of Su Wanwan.

With the issue behind them, the happiest people were undoubtedly the reporters who had hit the jackpot.
They thought they were here to cover a scandal about a university head violating rules, but they stumbled upon the heir of Nancheng’s wealthiest family, the Huo family, instead!
When Mr. Huo, the reserved millionaire, got married, the media reported on it. But because Mr. Huo kept such a low profile that time, Mrs. Huo, shielded in his arms, never showed her face!
But things were different today, high-definition images of Mrs. Huo and Mr.
Huo canoodling in the office were captured clearly!
If these photos are circulated, their click and forwarding rates would be astronomical!
Why would they be concerned about their job performance?
The jubilant crowd bid their goodbyes, and just as they were about to depart from campus, they were overtaken by Ji Jie, “Gentlemen, I apologize, but Mr. Huo stated that he doesn’t wish to see any reports about Mrs. Huo tomorrow.” “Why is that?”
“I had a great camera angle!”
“We guarantee to present Mr. Huo at his best, ready for the limelight!”
“Mrs. Huo is naturally beautiful, why can’t we expose this!”
“A talented man and beautiful woman, this is absolutely positive news that would help enhance Mr. Huo’s public image!”
“Yes, exactly…”
Ji Jie gave them a smile, “I’m sorry, but we invited you here today precisely to help clear Mrs. Huo’s name.”
“Wait, you’re the informant who leaked the news?” a reporter seemingly grasped something.
Ji Jie continued to smile, “There’s no other way around it; our Mr. Huo just keeps such a low profile.”
Reporters,

Meanwhile, once all the unrelated spectators had departed.
After closing the door, Su Wanwan’s first words were, “It’s over. The whole school will know I’m a married woman now.”
“Why so?” Huo Jingshen peered at her, his expression disapproving, “Still thinking about flirting with young boys?”
“What flirting?” Su Wanwan shot back, “I have not!”
I didn’t do anything okay!
“Was that Jiang Shuhao just now the class monitor who gave you the dictionary?” Huo Jingshen continues with a narrowed gaze.
“Uh…” I knew he was going to ask about this.
“What bad taste!” Huo Jingshen let out a disdainful sneer, “A pretty boy compared to your perfect husband? A backup? Does he even qualify?” Su Wanwan was taken aback, looking at his clearly sharp face, and suddenly wondered, “Uh, you… are you jealous?”
Huo Jingshen spoke arrogantly, “At his age, I had already taken my company public, was making a fortune, and he’s still using his old man’s money to pick up girls…”
Su Wanwan quickly interrupted him, “But he’s the school’s heartthrob!”
“Heartthrob?” Huo Jingshen scoffed again, “I think he’s more of a weed.”
Su Wanwan:
She rolled her eyes.
Forget it.
She quickly changed the subject, “By the way, when did you ask Ji Jie to investigate the posts and call the police? And those reporters, did you have Ji Jie arrange them beforehand? You even deliberately left me in the office with the door unlocked.”
He’s just like a cunning fox!
Huo Jingshen pinched her soft cheek, “Are you moved, baby?”
Su Wanwan:
I was, but…
Can’t he be a little less straightforward about it?
All the ambiance is gone now.
Huo Jingshen spoke softly, “Your husband rushed back from London overnight for you and helped you solve everything. So, are you moved?”
Su Wanwan pursed her lips, then pursed them again, then suddenly looked up and gently brushed his cheek.
Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow, “Is that all?”
After saying that, he slightly pursed his thin lips as a suggestive gesture.
Su Wanwan’s face felt a little hot, so she leaned in and briefly brushed her lips against his attractive thin ones.
Is this okay now?
Who would have thought…
“Don’t you have anything to say to your husband?” Huo Jingshen stared at her, obviously unsatisfied.
“Isn’t showing my feelings through actions enough?”
“Fine, but it’s not enough.” Huo Jingshen shamelessly said, “I want both actions and words.”
Su Wanwan was speechless, “Aren’t you too greedy?”
Being greedy for someone you like is only natural.”
Su Wanwan:”…”
Is he trying to be romantic?
I feel a little fluttery inside.
He said the one he likes…
“Say it.”
Su Wanwan reluctantly said, “Thank you.”
“Thanking who?”
“Husband?”
“Husband?”
“Thank you, husband!” Su Wanwan finally said it in one go.
Huo Jingshen looked at her.
The young girl was so easily embarrassed. Blushing at the mention of “husband”, her eyes were coy, and her mouth was slightly upturned because of her laughter.
Suddenly, he leaned in, “Okay, now that the words are out, you can show your feelings through actions.”
Su Wanwan:
He really is too greedy!

The next morning, the school issued punishment notices for both Lin Qiao and Zhou Xiaohan.
Because Zhou Xiaohan showed a good attitude in admitting her mistake, the school issued a public criticism, added a major demerit to her record, and put her under observation.
As for Lin Qiao, not only was she the mastermind behind the whole incident, but her attitude was also extremely bad. She refused to admit her mistake and was expelled by the school.
In addition, because of her involvement in online defamation, she was temporarily detained..
