Chapter 268: Showing One’s Face

Song Qingtian wore an expression of utter bewilderment.

Hung up?

Sure enough, as soon as the issue of custody of their daughter came up, Ling Hanyu flew into a rage.

But Song Qingtian had long anticipated that the road to divorce would be fraught with difficulties.

The top priority now was to secure Yunhai Pavilion first.

As for the divorce itself, it was inevitable—but there was no need to rush things.

Song Qingtian had to proceed step by step. At the very least, she couldn’t afford to provoke Ling Hanyu.

After all, what she really wanted was custody of their daughter; if she pushed him too far and he refused to let her see her, the loss would far outweigh any gain.

Bringing up the divorce and custody issue was only the first move—there was no need to hurry.

Today, Song Qingtian had made twenty million, which was no small sum. She needed to safeguard it carefully.

After putting her daughter to bed, Song Qingtian began drawing up a budget.

She invested the entire twenty million in what she considered sound investments, ranging from high-risk to low-risk options, set aside a basic education fund, and even bought several insurance policies.

Only after everything was in place did Song Qingtian finally go to rest.

Meanwhile, Zhou Family and Kong Family quickly saw results.

Not daring to delay any longer, they promptly confiscated the phones of Kong Yuxiao and Zhou Zishan and sent them abroad overnight.

From then on, their ties with Song Yinyin were completely severed.

As for Song Yinyin, she paid no attention to public opinion at all. All she cared about now was how Song Qingtian would meet her end!

Bai Ge, on the other hand, returned home to rest. Having gone a whole day without seeing Song Qingtian, Bai Ge wasn’t particularly anxious. Instead, she turned her attention to Aunt Chen, planning to get in touch with her and threaten her into becoming her inside informant.

But first, she had to actually meet Aunt Chen.

Mother and daughter each had their own agenda.

Before Song Yinyin came back from outside, Bai Ge was still pondering whether to seek out Aunt Chen. It wasn’t until she received a call from Song Yingtang that she learned what had happened.

After all, Song Yinyin was a member of the Song Family; even though Song Haichang was already dead, anything involving Song Yinyin still had ties to the Song Family.

If there was so much as the slightest stir concerning Song Yinyin, the Song Family would find out.

When Song Yingtang called, the family asked whether Song Yinyin had taken two people to strip Song Qingtian naked on the very day Song Haichang met with his fate!

Bai Ge immediately turned on the TV and was astonished to discover that both Zhou Zishan’s and Kong Yuxiao’s faces had been specially altered, while Song Yinyin’s face remained completely untouched.

Bai Ge was dumbfounded.

“What’s going on here? Is someone deliberately targeting Yinyin?”

Bai Ge worried that perhaps Song Yinyin herself had provoked Song Qingtian—otherwise, why would such a thing happen?

“Ask Yinyin yourself. I even saw her during the day, but she didn’t say a word about this. When you told me about it, I thought something was off. But now why are Zhou Zishan and Kong Yuxiao fine, while only Yinyin is in trouble?”

Song Yingtang wasn’t like Song Haichang—he didn’t simply do whatever Bai Ge said. He had his own opinions, and although he didn’t have Ling Hanyu’s kind of ruthlessness, he was certainly no pushover.

After years of navigating the treacherous waters of business, how could he possibly fail to see through something like this?

Clearly, Song Yinyin had offended someone and was being deliberately framed.

“I know. Don’t worry yet. Yinyin hasn’t come back yet—I need to ask her myself.”

Bai Ge hung up the phone, got up to wait for Song Yinyin, and also called her directly.

Just then, Song Yinyin happened to return home.

Upon seeing Bai Ge, Song Yinyin was puzzled: “Mom, you’re waiting for me?”

“The sky’s falling, and you’re still so calm?”

Seeing Song Yinyin’s demeanor, Bai Ge knew full well that she must have already known about this.

Looking at Bai Ge, Song Yinyin realized that Bai Ge was aware, so she stopped hiding the truth.

“It’s Song Qingtian. She’s threatening me.”

Song Yinyin’s face was filled with indignation. Bai Ge looked at her and asked, “Then what did you say to her?”

“What else could I say? I told her I wasn’t afraid of her!”

“Foolish!”

Bai Ge shook her head in exasperation: “You should’ve told me sooner!”

“I never imagined she’d actually have a video. But Mom… don’t worry, I’ve already figured out a way. Just leave it alone. This is only temporary. She didn’t just post Zhou Zishan’s and Kong Yuxiao’s faces—she didn’t even notice mine.”

Song Yinyin had only been looking at the original video; she still didn’t know what had really happened.

Bai Ge stared at her daughter, her expression turning grim: “Have you watched the news?”

“I have. It’s all…”

“Foolish! Look now.”

Bai Ge’s face grew cold as she pointed at the phone, urging Song Yinyin to take a look.

Seeing that Bai Ge was truly angry, Song Yinyin immediately grabbed her phone and opened it—and only then did she realize that Zhou Zishan’s and Kong Yuxiao’s faces had been digitally altered, making it impossible to tell who they were, while her own face was crystal clear.

What’s more, there were even comments below saying she was bullying others, driven by jealousy and hatred, and that after the death of the Song Haichao couple, she was preying on the orphaned Song Qingtian.

Song Qingtian had once been so proud—how pitiful it was that she should be bullied like this!

Song Yinyin was stunned on the spot. How could this be possible?

Realizing what had happened, she immediately logged into her own social media account, only to find a torrent of abusive comments flooding in!
