491 Rescue!

“Shut up!” Shen Yuansong shouted angrily, standing up and pointing at Shen Wanying. “Jingjing has never enjoyed the treatment of being a daughter of the Shen family, so why should she fulfill the duty of a political marriage? She suffered abroad while you enjoyed your life in China, don’t you feel guilty?!”

Shen Wanying just smiled and replied, “Then she shouldn’t have acknowledged the Shen family! If you never had a legitimate daughter, my father would inherit the family business, and he would naturally send my younger sister to Country A. Since you have acknowledged each other, you should consider these things!”

Shen Yuansong’s fingers trembled with anger as he exclaimed, “Heartless and ruthless!”

The other married daughters of the Shen family looked at Shen Wanying with anger, even though they were not directly involved.

They understood that girls in wealthy families were treated as political tools, and if the Shen family could abandon their legitimate daughter, what would it mean for them and their children?

Shen Tingyan, who was usually timid, stepped forward and said, “How can you say such things, elder sister? Do you think the other three great families will respect us if the Shen family sends someone to Country A for a political marriage? They’ve respected us all these years because all the Shen family’s daughters have confidence! Your ability to act arrogantly in the Bai family is only due to the Shen family’s influence!

“If the Shen family can abandon their legitimate daughter for the sake of profit, then the other families will know that the Shen family doesn’t care about us. At that time, we will be at the mercy of others!”

They had long since understood that family honor and personal honor were intertwined.

Shen Wanying sneered. “Stop saying these things. Do you think that if you please them, your life will be easier? You’re a woman who can’t have children, and the Xu family only put up with you because of the Shen family’s face. Now that the Shen family has declined, the Xu family naturally dares to bully you! You…”

“Smack!”

Before she could finish, Shen Wanying was slapped in the face by the Third Madam. Shen Wanying then glared at her and said, “How dare you hit me?”

Third Madam stared back and said, “As your aunt, what’s wrong with me hitting you? Who do you think you are? You dare to comment on the affairs of the Shen family here?! You and your mother are no longer what you used to be!”

Shen Wanying became furious and started to throw a tantrum, losing the grace and pride she once had.

Shen Ruojing, on the other hand, ignored them and took out her phone to call Chu Cichen. He had gone to work at the company this morning, and his phone rang twice before he answered.

When he heard the news from her, he didn’t panic but calmly asked, “Hmm, what do you want to do now?”

Shen Ruojing lowered her eyes and replied, “I don’t have enough manpower here. To finish everything before the punishment tomorrow, I’m afraid I need the cooperation of the Chu and Shen families…”

She directly communicated her thoughts with Chu Cichen on the phone.

Chu Cichen said, “No problem.”

Shen Ruojing then looked at Shen Yuansong.

When they were on the phone just now, it was on speaker mode, so Shen Yuansong also heard her thoughts clearly.

Seeing her granddaughter looking over, Shen Yuansong said, “All of the family’s resources are at your disposal.”

“Okay.”

Shen Ruojing hung up the phone and realized that Shen Wanying below had stopped arguing with the Third Madam Shen.

Apparently, she had also heard her thoughts just now.

Shen Wanying immediately shouted, “What are you doing? Are you going against Valor Gate?”

Shen Ruojing responded calmly, “I’m just going to argue.”

Shen Wanying immediately yelled, “Argue about what? When will it be the turn of the four great families to intervene in Valor Gate’s affairs? If you go tomorrow and save Chu Cimo, Valor Gate will definitely hold a grudge against the Shen family! You have brought the Shen family to such a state, do you want to make more enemies for the Shen family?”

Shen Ruojing did not want to respond, but she knew that some things had to be said. “Chu Cimo fell into this situation in order to protect the Shen family and the Chu family. If the Shen family does not help, who else will dare to fight for the Shen family in the future?”

After this was said, everyone in the living room was shocked.

Shen Yuansong then took the opportunity to say, “The Shen family will not give up on anyone! The eldest legitimate granddaughter will not give up, and everyone here will not give up! Those who silently contribute to the Shen family will not give up either!”

After speaking, he nodded to Shen Ruojing and said, “Go ahead.”

Shen Ruojing walked out quickly and did not pay attention to what was happening in the house.

After she left the living room, although no one said anything, everyone’s eyes revealed hints of panic and confusion.

The women of the Shen Family who had married out did not say anything, but they knew if the Shen family fell, their future would certainly not be as comfortable as it was now. The Shen family’s servants were even more frightened and at a loss.

Shen Wanying then looked at the silent crowd and laughed. “Ha, why aren’t you talking? Don’t you think the Shen family won’t fall? Is it not enough to offend the royalty of Country A? Now, you also want to go against Valor Gate? The Shen family has really done a good job of killing itself! I’m just waiting for you to cry, waiting for you to become useless like me, hahaha…”

She laughed hysterically with her head tilted back. Some time later, the butler of the Bai family finally arrived with some people, pushing Shen Wanying out of the room. The butler also apologized to Shen Yuansong, “Old Master Shen, our master apologizes for not keeping an eye on her and letting her run out…”

Shen Yuansong waved his hand, not pursuing the matter.

After coming out, Shen Ruojing did not go directly to Valor Gate. She could have gone straight to the punishment hall and, as the future leader, taken Chu Cimo away directly. But in doing so, Chu Cimo would forever be regarded as a suspicious character.

So, in order to restore Chu Cimo’s reputation, they needed to find the victims that he had saved to speak up for him!

The Rooftop Gentleman had committed 58 thefts, and every victim in each case needed to be contacted. This would require a lot of manpower and resources. If these people could come forward, it would be for the best.

Due to this, the scale of her actions became too big, and the entire circle of capital knew about it.

The eldest senior brother of Valor Gate certainly knew this as well.

One of his subordinates asked anxiously, “Big Brother, if those people come and speak up for Chu Cimo, I’m afraid that the Second Elder will really spare him.”

The eldest brother sneered. “Let’s not talk about whether those people will come and speak up for Chu Cimo. Even if they do, can they get into Valor Gate? Tomorrow, you should find more brothers to guard the door and not let anyone unrelated to Valor Gate in!”

The next day!
