Shen Que moved her phone a little further away. She frowned and put him on speakerphone. She asked, “What did I do?”

Big Brother Lin panted a few times and squeezed the words out through the gaps between his teeth. “Go and look at Weibo. You’re the number one trending topic now.”

Shen Que casually opened Weibo and saw a row of bright words on it: Shen Que and Chen Xuan’s husband, Li Weiguo, were photographed having an affair.

Seeing that there was no reaction from the other side, Big Brother Lin asked, “Don’t you have anything to explain?”

“What do I have to explain?” Shen Que was very calm. “How do you want me to explain something that I haven’t done?”

Big Brother Lin was extremely angry. “How could you have been photographed if you haven’t done it? Shen Que, do you take me for a fool?”

He said earnestly, “I understand that you want to be famous, but can you be more careful? Can’t you pick your targets properly?”

Li Weiguo was famous for being stingy and ruthless. He had crippled quite a few freshly-debuted young girls, the news had spread throughout the industry.

“You signed a C-class contract, and your public relations quota is only a few thousand dollars. Even if you want to redeem your reputation now, you can’t.”

Hearing Big Brother Lin’s words, Shen Que narrowed her eyes. “My contract is C-class. What about Yuan Ranran?”

“Why do you have to compete with an A-class like Yuan Ranran?” Big Brother Lin felt like his head was about to explode.

Shen Que sneered.

She and Yuan Ranran were in the same entertainment company, owned by Fan Junchen. The original Shen Que was brainless. She thought that her fiancé wouldn’t lie to her and had signed the contract without even looking at it.

“Is there a class lower than mine?” Shen Que asked.

Big Brother Lin was furious and replied grumpily, “No, you’re at the lowest class.”

Shen Que snorted coldly and hung up the phone.

The next second, Big Brother Lin’s voice message popped up on WeChat, “Shen Que, you dare to hang up on me? I’m not going to care about you anymore, just you wait for your tragic end.”

Shen Que shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly. Just as she was about to leave, there was a knock on the door.

Before Shen Que could react, the maid opened her door and said, “Miss Shen, it’s time for dinner.”

Shen Que nodded and carried her bag out of the door. She walked to the maid’s side and the maid said softly to her, “Master and Madam seem to have seen some news and are very angry.”

“I understand.” Shen Que smiled at the maid. “Thank you.”

The maid was mesmerized by this smile. After a few seconds of being dazed, Shen Que had already walked down the stairs with her long legs.

When she arrived at the dining room, before she could sit down, Father Yuan saw her and slammed his hands on the table heavily. “You vile daughter!”

Shen Que chose to not sit down and stood where she was to watch the show.

Mother Yuan patted Father Yuan’s chest while she glared at Shen Que with resentment. “Look at how angry you’ve made your father!”

Shen Que sounded a little surprised. “What are you angry about? I didn’t do anything.”

“At such a young age, you slept with those rich people and you’re still saying you didn’t do anything?” Mother Yuan raised her voice when she heard Shen Que’s words.

Yuan Ranran who was at the side said softly, “Shen Que, father and mother already know about what you’ve done. Don’t hide it anymore. Hurry up and admit your mistakes.”

“I didn’t do anything. What’s there to hide?” Shen Que raised her eyebrows and looked at them. “Is there any evidence to prove that Li Weiguo and I are together? We aren’t even in the same photo together.”

“His assistant went to pick you up, yet you still want to quibble?” Father Yuan had carried out business with Li Weiguo before and could confirm the identity of the man in the photos at a glance.

“Can’t I go to normal social functions? You didn’t even ask, and you think of the dirtiest answer possible, slandering the innocence of your daughter for no reason?” Shen Que asked calmly.

“The photos are all here.” Mother Yuan pointed at her phone and asked with a trembling voice, “What evidence do you have to prove that nothing happened between you and Director Li?”

“Whoever claimed that such a thing happened should be the one to provide the evidence.” Shen Que blinked her eyes. “If there’s any benefit of the doubt about the evidence, I’m innocent.”

She looked strikingly similar to Mother Yuan. When Mother Yuan saw her vivid expression, she was stunned for a moment and was at a loss for words.

Father Yuan snorted coldly. “What do you mean there’s the benefit of the doubt and you’re innocent? I think you’re just resorting to sophistry. You shameless woman, get out of the Yuan Family!”

When Mother Yuan heard this, she was a little anxious. “Hubby, what if she didn’t…”

Father Yuan’s expression turned dark and waved his hand to stop her. “Stop talking.”

Mother Yuan shut her mouth unwillingly.

Shen Que said, “Since you don’t believe me, then there’s nothing more to say. It just so happens that my surname hasn’t been changed, and my registered residence is still in my original home. Why don’t all of us just pretend that nothing happened and you can continue to treat Yuan Ranran as your biological daughter?”

Father Yuan nodded. “Then get lost. Don’t be an eyesore in front of me.”

Shen Que did as he said and carried her bag, wanting to finally leave.

Yuan Ranran stood up and said, “Wait, Shen Que, what’s in your bag?”

Receiving Yuan Ranran’s gaze, Mother Yuan stood up as well, walking towards Shen Que.

Father Yuan said with disdain, “You probably stole something valuable from our house and want to sell it for money..”
