Chapter 308 Suitable for Politics
Shen Li gazed into the distance, thinking to himself: Huang Ting is indeed exceptionally vicious.
She had already planned this, but she didn't expect Lu Zhou to take action before her.
She used to think that Lu Zhou was not as meticulous as his older brothers Lu Nan and Lu Cheng, and that he was impulsive and prone to causing trouble.
But this time, she discovered that this kid actually harbored such a cunning and ruthless mind.
No wonder my second brother said back then that Lu Zhou's ruthlessness was perfect for politics.
In public, they are sweet-talking and obedient, but in private, they are cunning and ruthless.
Shen Li withdrew her gaze, feeling no displeasure but rather a sense of relief.
Huang Ting, who has committed so many evil deeds, deserves to suffer a worse fate, let alone have her reputation ruined.
Such people will only continue to harm others if they live in this world.
Seeing that Shen Li remained silent, Lu Zhou asked in a tentative tone, "Sister Li, do you think I went too far?"
Shen Li gently shook her head, her fingertips unconsciously rubbing her lower abdomen. Her voice was gentle, yet contained a barely perceptible hint of caution: "No, you did very well. It's just that you've always been sensible, remembering to absolve yourself of all responsibility in everything you do. But are those two people you found truly reliable?"
"Absolutely reliable. They're from out of town, with no roots or connections. I arranged for them to be taken away last night, leaving no trace." Lu Zhou's tone was firm, his eyes full of composure, not at all like a young man.
Shen Li looked at him, her tone softening: "From now on, discuss things with me first before you do anything."
Lu Zhou paused, then looked up at Shen Li, his eyes brimming with stubbornness and concern: "Sister Li, I'm all grown up now. I can handle these things myself, and I don't want you to worry about them. Besides, you're pregnant, so you shouldn't be troubled by these trivial matters."
Shen Li gazed at the young man before her, a sense of disorientation washing over her.
The composure and decisiveness in those eyes were no longer the impulsive and rash person she remembered. Instead, they seemed to have been tempered by time, developing a calmness beyond their years.
She suddenly remembered the year she first met him, when the boy was punished by her until he sobbed and cried, his eyes red but he still stubbornly refused to give in.
Time flies, and so much has changed.
Shen Li sighed softly to herself, her tone filled with relief: "Yes, I understand."
After Huang Ting's accident, she didn't dare to step into the school for a whole week.
Her uncle was the director of Peking University, and the news spread like wildfire throughout the school. Naturally, her family soon learned the whole story.
The entire Huang family was both angry and anxious, looking at Huang Ting with disappointment and frustration—she had ruined her promising future.
It's impossible to find anyone better for marriage. In her current situation, she has no choice but to stay with Zhou Qiang; there's no other way out.
Everyone else looked worried, but Zhou Qiang was the happiest one.
He genuinely liked Huang Ting, and even though the situation was difficult now, being able to keep her by his side was a blessing for him.
However, the revenge that Shen Li originally envisioned was not so gentle.
She wanted to expose Huang Ting's misdeeds during high school, but the internet was not as developed then, making it extremely difficult to stir up public opinion.
Moreover, the girl who was bullied to the point of suicide by Huang Ting back then has long since disappeared, and Shen Li's brother has limited knowledge of the inside story, so he has no way to make a move.
In contrast, Lu Zhou's method was direct and ruthless, precisely targeting Huang Ting's most cherished interests: reputation and future. It was even more lethal than Huang Ting had imagined.
On the other hand, Chen Haisheng was extremely cautious this time regarding the recruitment task he had previously entrusted to him, and dared not be careless in the slightest. So far, he has not found a suitable candidate.
Shen Li then let the man who was determined to take revenge on Huang Ting enter the villa first, and put him in charge of cleaning the main courtyard, the front courtyard, and Grandpa Yu's courtyard.
The other small courtyards of the villa don't require too much effort.
Lu's mother's courtyard was personally managed by her second uncle.
Grandma Shen's yard is looked after by Wang Ma.
Lu Nan and Shen Li have their own yard, and she specially equipped it with a sweeper so that she can clean it herself occasionally.
Shen Li has never liked outsiders entering her room. She said she would do these small chores herself, but in the end, Lu Zhou silently took care of them all.
For the past six months, the man had been keeping a close eye on Huang Ting's every move, only daring to do odd jobs to make ends meet.
He and his sister were orphans with no one to rely on. He had worked hard to raise his sister, but she was gone just like that. This heart-wrenching pain eventually turned into an inextinguishable hatred.
He wanted Huang Ting to pay with her life immediately, but he also knew that acting impulsively would not solve any problems.
Although Huang Ting has now suffered retaliation, it is nothing compared to the loss of her sister's life, and is far from enough.
The atmosphere in the Huang family's living room was so oppressive it was suffocating.
The whole family's eyes were on Huang Ting, filled with disappointment and reproach.
Among the Huang family's children, Huang Ting always had the best grades, but because she was spoiled from a young age, she became increasingly willful and arrogant.
Although they had caused trouble before, it had never escalated to such an unmanageable point.
This matter at Peking University had already spread throughout the upper echelons of Beijing's social circles.
The capital city at that time was not as vast as it is in later generations. Families with some social standing were exceptionally well-informed, and even the slightest news could spread throughout the streets and alleys.
Mr. Huang stared at his daughter, his voice filled with rage and disbelief: "You really did such a thing?"
Huang Ting frowned, her face full of impatience and grievance, her tone sharp: "Dad, with those two ugly faces, do you think I would even look at them? How could I possibly have anything to do with them?"
"Then why does that person only recognize you?" Mr. Huang's face darkened, filled with confusion. "If there weren't old grudges, why would they specifically target you?"
The clear handprint was still visible on Huang Ting's cheek, red and swollen, making it particularly glaring.
Seeing this, Mr. Huang's anger flared even more. He could still protect his daughter when she acted up before, but this time, she had completely disgraced the Huang family.
Huang Ting bit her lip, pondered for a moment, and suddenly raised her voice: "Someone must be deliberately messing with me!"
Huang's mother immediately agreed, taking her daughter's hand and gently comforting her, "Yes, yes, that must be it. How could our Xiaoting do such a thing?"
As she spoke, she turned to her younger brother, her tone tinged with accusation, "Brother, you're a director at Peking University, how come you didn't protect Xiaoting?"
Upon hearing this, the man also became angry, spreading his hands in defense: "How else can I protect you? This happened so suddenly, I had no prior notice whatsoever, I didn't have time to react!"
Huang Ting's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had grasped a lifeline. She gritted her teeth and said, "That's it! I know who it is! It must be that little bitch Lu Nan who plotted against me!"
Huang's mother looked puzzled: "Who is Lu Nan?"
