Chapter 245: Chapter 245: After Kicking Away the Scumbag, the Aloof Buddhist Son Dotes on His Wife 45 Chapter 245: Chapter 245: After Kicking Away the Scumbag, the Aloof Buddhist Son Dotes on His Wife 45 Su Zhiruan posted a total of nine images.

These nine images seemed unrelated at first, but upon closer inspection, one could find that they exactly reflected the video posted by Bai Yueyou!

Su Zhiruan posted the receipts, purchase records, payment records, a photo taken with Miss Jiang and Miss Mu before a private exhibition, detail photos of the jewelry she had taken, and the chat history with Jiang Beiyu, where he referred to Bai Yueyou as “water delivery girl” but in vulgar terms, and the last image in the collage was a pixelated high-resolution photo showing Bai Yueyou and Jiang Beiyu in an intimate embrace.

Now, just after Jiang Beiyu manipulated Bai Yueyou’s account to post the video, Su Zhiruan followed up with a post that her belongings had been stolen.

When put together, these two events quickly blew up.

The jewelry of the wealthy heiress had been stolen and resold, and she herself had discovered it.

Netizens loved to follow gossip and scandals about these wealthy families, and after trending on social media, public opinion was overwhelmingly one-sided.

It was only then that people realized the person showing just a side profile in Bai Yueyou’s video was Jiang Beiyu.

After the first incident where he knelt and begged for mercy, and the second suspicion of drug trafficking, Jiang Beiyu’s reputation on the internet had already soured, and Bai Yueyou, as his mistress, was not much better off. Therefore, after the protagonists of this incident appeared, the public sentiment was decidedly one-sided, favoring Su Zhiruan.

“Am I seeing things, can this man have any shame? I’ve never seen such a shameless man in my life. Not only did he cheat during his relationship with the young lady but caused scandals with an illegitimate child and drug trafficking, and now he’s outright robbing people!”

“He’s even worse than my husband, I thought mine was shameless for taking my gold jewelry because he was broke from starting a business! But now I find someone online stealing a whole box of valuable jewelry, taking everything including the box!”

“Above, at least you’re married; it’s all in the family. Jiang Beiyu is clearly committing theft and robbery. I support the young lady calling the police!”

“I support the young lady calling the police! I support the young lady calling the police!”

…

As the incident continued to ferment, online voices grew louder, and many expressed sympathy for Su Zhiruan, who had encountered a scumbag trying to drain her dry like a leech, even thinking about selling off her jewelry after the breakup.

Su Zhiruan contacted the luxury goods company and obtained a statement from them.

Without permission, they released their new products for the next quarter, which in plain terms, was theft of the company’s data and information. If this charge really stuck, prison was all but guaranteed.

Su Zhiruan worked as usual at Su Group every day, and many of her subordinates were aware of her recent situation. Those who were close to her on regular days and had the courage asked her about her current state with concern.

Even many capable and handsome young men attempted to create chance encounters to get to know her.

They despised and mocked Jiang Beiyu, who had lost a watermelon while picking up sesame seeds, but everyone hoped to win Su Zhiruan’s favor. Even setting aside the wealth of the Su Group, Su Zhiruan’s personal charm alone was enough to make them eagerly follow.

Zhou Mingyu was very dissatisfied with this, especially when he saw those men around her while picking up and dropping off Su Zhiruan from work. Each of these young faces would even affectionately call her “Sister,” stirring a strong sense of crisis in him.

In the end, it was only after Su Zhiruan repeatedly assured him that she still preferred his type that they managed to resolve the issue of his jealousy spilling over.

On the other side, in contrast, Jiang Beiyu had been treading on thin ice these past few days.

Originally, he thought his plan was foolproof. As long as he pawned Su Zhiruan’s jewelry and got a sum of money, he would quickly delete the video. But what he hadn’t anticipated was that the video’s popularity far surpassed his expectations. Even after he deleted the video from Bai Yueyou’s account, screen recordings were still rampant online.

The only person who could stir up such a frenzy and have the whole internet buzzing about it, Jiang Beiyu could only think of one person.

Su Zhiruan!

She held the most evidence in her hands, and if she wanted to, she could ruin his reputation at any time. And it was clear that the direction of all this pointed to none other than Su Zhiruan!

Thinking of this, Jiang Beiyu was infuriated to the point where he was itching to act, yet he also harbored a sense of arrogance.

Su Zhiruan had always been thoughtless in her actions. This time, her hasty release of the materials was probably due to jealousy.

Jiang’s mother, carrying a bowl of rice soup, approached Jiang Beiyu. She was aware of the major uproar on the internet caused by their video and the barrage of negative opinions her son had faced.

She began to speak, then hesitated, “Son, I don’t know if I should say this, but if that little bitch actually calls the police, won’t we be finished?”

“Don’t worry, Mom, I already know Su Zhiruan’s motive for doing this.” Jiang Beiyu felt he had uncovered the truth. He shifted into a more relaxed position and leaned back, his expression returning to one of smug pride, “She was so madly in love with me before, how could she give up easily? Probably, she thought of this tactic because she wants to win me back.”

Upon hearing this, even Jiang’s mother was at a loss for words.

“Son, I don’t know if I should say this,” Jiang’s mother said slowly as she looked at Jiang Beiyu, “but I don’t think Miss Su looks all that deathly in love with you… On the contrary, I feel like she’s the one behind all this…”

“That’s impossible!” Jiang Beiyu refused to believe it. He knew the former Su Zhiruan all too well. She had been subservient to him, even willing to give up her pride as a young mistress for him, “I know her–she doesn’t have the brains. I reckon someone must be behind all this, otherwise she wouldn’t possibly do such a thing because she loves me too much.”

Jiang’s mother saw the conviction in his tone and half believed it.

However, guided by a woman’s sixth sense, she always felt that Su Zhiruan wasn’t as simple as she seemed on the surface. Just the eyes alone gave her a sense of depth and calm.

That kind of look was not something a young girl should possess, not even someone like her who had seen much of the world.

Jiang’s mother remained skeptical, but seeing her son so confident, she didn’t feel it was her place to say anymore and could only pray that what she perceived was a misconception.

Three days later.

The public pressure on Jiang Beiyu and Bai Yueyou grew heavier by the day. They couldn’t even leave the house for fear of being recognized and condemned by the public.

Jiang Beiyu was visibly becoming more and more irritable, pacing back and forth in the living room all day long, the floor littered with discarded papers, all filled with various plans that had been crumpled up and tossed aside.

In the midst of his helplessness, Bai Yueyou came out holding her phone, “Brother Beiyu, I found out Su Zhiruan’s itinerary!”
