Song Yin found herself at a loss for words, her intentions torn between seeking Song Fan’s forgiveness and avoiding a potential lawsuit. However, the prospect of discussing this in front of her classmates was deeply humiliating.

Song Fan didn’t expect Song Yin’s apology. Moreover, even if Song Fan managed to trace the IP address, it wouldn’t necessarily prove Song Yin’s involvement, given that many lived in the Song family mansion.

Song Fan had used the threat of legal action merely to intimidate her, but Song Yin appeared to be more easily frightened than anticipated, nearly on the verge of fainting.

With a meaningful glance, Song Fan pushed open the classroom door and left.

Song Kai addressed the class, “From this moment on, I don’t want to hear anyone discussing this matter further. I will also arrange for the removal of those forum posts. If I discover anyone still spreading rumors or gossiping about it, they’ll face consequences they won’t easily forget.”

Despite Song Kai’s recent gentleness toward Song Fan, he still maintained his reputation as a formidable figure at Eke High School. He had led his group in brawls against students from other schools, earning him the nickname “Brother Kai” throughout the high schools in A City.

Everyone kept their heads lowered in silence. Song Kai roared,” Do you understand?”

“Understood, understood.” Everyone nodded.

After Song Kai left, Song Yin remained in a daze.

Tingting approached her. “What more can you say now? She’s already in the process of consulting a lawyer, so let’s refrain from perpetuating baseless rumors. Ironically, sometimes, family members can be the most ruthless. The origin of this post may be from a family member.”

Tingting’s words appeared aimed at the general audience, but in truth, they carried a pointed message for Song Yin. Although Song Yin was tempted to respond, she wisely chose to remain silent, aware that speaking out at this juncture could backfire.

As lunchtime finally arrived, Song Yin hastened to the gym room to contact her mother and reveal the full extent of her actions.

“You don’t have to worry. There are plenty of servants in the Song Family’s mansion. You can simply find one that makes the scapegoat admit it was her own doing,” Meng Yu comforted Song Yin.

Song Yin bit her lip and said with concern, “Will she be willing to come forward and admit this? She could be taken to court.”

Meng Yu smiled reassuringly. “Someone willing to work as a servant doesn’t have much money. This isn’t a crime deserving of a death penalty. As long as you pay them enough, there will surely be someone willing.”

Song Yin heaved a sigh of relief and said, “I thought I was in big trouble this time. If Big Brother finds out about this, he definitely won’t treat me as his sister anymore.”

“Yinyin, you don’t have to panic no matter what. Nothing will happen to you as long as Mommy is here.” Meng Yu’s voice remained calm.

Hearing her mother’s voice, tears welled up in Song Yin’s eyes. She nodded and said, “I know. Mommy is the only one treating me the best in the world.”

In the afternoon, when Song Fan met Song Yin at school, she noticed that she had already relaxed. It was evident that she had found a way to handle the situation.

However, this matter still needed to be addressed. She had to make sure that the Song Family sorted things out.

She picked up her phone and dialed Duan Feng’s number. “Brother Duan, do you know any lawyers in A City? I want to file a defamation lawsuit.”

“Lawsuit?” Duan Feng’s voice rose. “Come to Phoenix Restaurant tonight, and I’ll introduce you to the best lawyer.”

After saying that, Duan Feng hung up the phone before Song Fan could explain further. She only wanted to pursue a minor defamation lawsuit. It seemed that she would have to provide more details later in the evening.

Song Fan had managed to resolve the matter smoothly, but Gu Chen had not offered any explanation concerning Song Fan’s pregnancy. After all, nobody dared to approach him and inquire about it directly.

However, Gu Hai had been wearing a gloomy expression for the past two days. Moreover, every time he crossed paths with Gu Chen, his expression worsened, and he exuded an unmistakable sense of resentment.

Gu Chen had no intention of explaining himself at this point just to make his uncle unhappy.

Although Gu Hai didn’t want this news to circulate, the shareholders of the Gu Corporation were astute people. They had already discerned the reason behind Gu Hai’s discontent.

Some shareholders had even contemplated aligning themselves with Gu Chen. If he were to marry the daughter of the Song Corporation, he would undoubtedly gain the support of the entire Song Corporation. Gu Hai’s ability to challenge his position would be as daunting as reaching the heavens.

It seemed more prudent for them to surrender early, ensuring they could remain shareholders in the event of Gu Hai’s failure.

Su Yang entered the office and reported, “Young Master, Director Wang wishes to meet with you.”

Gu Chen nodded and replied, “Set up a meeting with him then. But be prepared for the possibility that they might react with anger once they realize Song Fan isn’t pregnant.”

Su Yang responded, “It’s too late for that now. Once they pledge their support for Young Master, Gu Hai is unlikely to accept them.”
