After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved-Chapter 416: Whether It’s Really Like That Doesn’t Matter

Chapter 416: Chapter 416: Whether It’s Really Like That Doesn’t Matter

Upon hearing Mrs. Wang’s voice, she instinctively paused the video, her expression tightening: "Damn, so it was Shi Yuwei who released the servant’s recording."

"Could Shi Yuwei have bribed that Mrs. Wang to bite back at Shengsheng and say it was Shengsheng who asked her to slander her?"

"If that’s the case, what should we do?"

Strictly speaking, in Mrs. Wang’s eyes, Lu Sheng indeed used her to slander Shi Yuwei.

Because although that bowl of porridge was indeed deliberately spilled on Lu Sheng by Shi Yuwei, she used Soul Power.

No one knows she was the one who really caused it.

So there are two problems.

The first problem is, Shi Yuwei knows that Mrs. Wang helped her slander her, she definitely won’t let go of such a servant. After she left yesterday, Shi Yuwei would one hundred percent go find trouble with Mrs. Wang.

The second problem is, Mrs. Wang clearly isn’t someone with principles. If she can be easily persuaded to take Shi Yuwei’s side for money, she might also stand with Shi Yuwei for money and bite her.

Lu Sheng thought, if Shi Yuwei wants to clear her name, the best method is to use this Mrs. Wang.

So now, hearing Mrs. Wang’s voice coming from the video, she wasn’t surprised at all.

Moreover, precisely because she had anticipated this, she made preparations in advance.

Yesterday, when giving money to that Mrs. Wang, Lu Sheng did not directly transfer her fifty thousand.

Instead, she took out a 200 gram, worth over eighty thousand, small gold bar from the meeting gift her grandfather gave her.

Firstly, a transfer would leave a trace, equaling evidence. A gold bar, however, has no owner, anyone can possess it.

Secondly, giving an extra over thirty thousand was to have Mrs. Wang do one more thing, to set her mind at ease.

Yesterday, after handing over the gold bar to Mrs. Wang, Lu Sheng said: [The extra money is compensation for you because you helped me, Shi Yuwei will definitely cause you trouble.]

[But Mrs. Wang, if Shi Yuwei asks you what exactly happened, you don’t need to deny or explain anything. Because even if you come up with a reason, she wouldn’t believe it.]

[So if she asks you, just say I forced you. Say I typed on my phone that if you didn’t push the story onto her, I would kill you.]

[Don’t mention enticement, only coercion. This way, the one she wants to retaliate against with hatred will only be me, not you.]

At that time, Mrs. Wang swallowed nervously and asked with a panicked face: [...But Miss Lu Sheng, if I really say this, won’t Miss Yuwei expose this online, making everyone think you’re a murderer?]

[Don’t worry, she won’t post those words directly,] Lu Sheng replied with a cold gaze.

[She just stumbled in the live stream, showing her two-faced nature and targeting me. At this critical juncture, if she stands up to say something unfavorable about me, netizens will think it might be her trying to wash herself clean at the expense of me.]

[Moreover, in the eyes of netizens, in this society ruled by law, who would really threaten to kill someone? People would only think she’s making it up too ridiculously.]

[So she won’t publish your words, and if she wants to, she would surely publish what she wants to say.]

Mrs. Wang was stunned: [You mean...]

[Now that things have reached this point, she can’t directly reveal the truth, nor does she dare to further smear me. So she should use your mouth to say words that can help her clean her name.]

[So I guess the most likely thing she would do is have you say something, then record it and release it. If that’s the case, just do whatever she says.]

This way, Mrs. Wang can not only get herself out of the situation without being retaliated against by Shi Yuwei.

And possibly earn another payment from Shi Yuwei, so Mrs. Wang is sure to be willing.

Lu Sheng knew very well that today’s incident wouldn’t completely take down Shi Yuwei, she would definitely find a way to clear her name.

Rather than guessing what dirty tricks she might pull, it’d be better to have the situation under her own control.

Sure enough, the scene switched back to the Lan Family’s living room—

Lan Yu clicked the pause button in the middle of the phone screen again, and the video continued to play with Mrs. Wang’s sorrowful lament coming out.

[I’m sorry Miss Yuwei, it’s all my fault...]

[It’s because yesterday during the day, I just moved some of Lu Sheng’s things while cleaning her room and got scolded by her.]

[At my age, having worked in the Shi Family for over ten years, yet being scolded by a girl like her. Moreover, Miss Lu Sheng just returned to the Shi Family, and she already showed such an attitude, I was really upset...]

[So when I was serving porridge to Miss Lu Sheng in the morning, in a moment of madness, I wanted her to suffer a bit... I lost control of my hand and intentionally spilled the porridge on her.]

[Seeing the porridge burn Miss Lu Sheng like that, I was scared too. But at the time, Old Mr. Shi was very angry, and he didn’t believe me when I said it wasn’t intentional.]

[Then I thought, since you seemed to have had some conflict with Miss Lu Sheng yesterday, and Old Mr. Shi and others dote on you a lot, if I pushed this matter onto you, nothing would happen to you.]

[So I told Miss Lu Sheng you had ordered me to spill the porridge on her. Just as I finished saying that, the television crew came in, and I really didn’t expect what happened afterward...]

Before Mrs. Wang’s voice faded, recording caught Shi Yuwei’s angry accusation—

[So you acted out of madness and did such a bad thing, and then just casually blamed it on me directly?]

[Do you know how shocked and dumbfounded I was when Lu Sheng came to tell me those things?]

[And it was during a live broadcast, those words were heard by netizens all over the country. Now everyone thinks I’m a vicious and scheming woman, my image is ruined, can you bear that responsibility?!]

[I’m sorry, Miss Yuwei, I truly know I was wrong!] Mrs. Wang cried harder in the recording, [I’m willing to explain to the public for you, please give me a chance, I beg you...]

At that, the recording abruptly stopped.

Those in the living room exchanged glances.

Lan Yu took a deep breath and couldn’t help but ask, "...Is this true, is this really what happened, or did Shi Yuwei deliberately have the servant say that?"

Lu Sheng’s expression didn’t change much, or rather, she fully expected this recording: "It doesn’t matter if it’s true or not, what matters is whether the netizens believe it."

"But I estimate, if Shi Yuwei posted the video last night and also bought internet trolls and marketing accounts to steer the narrative to clear her name, the online opinion might have already reversed."
