CHAPTER 403: CHAPTER 179: TORMENTED FEMALE LEAD’S AUNT (SEVENTEEN)_3

Mrs. Cheng was left to raise Chenchen on her own, working tirelessly while also caring for his health.

Eventually, his condition improved, and they discovered he had a talent for painting, after which he was even admitted to the art academy.

Mrs. Cheng thought their hard times were over, but then she received the devastating news that Chenchen had jumped off a building.

Overnight, Mrs. Cheng’s hair turned white, and she seemed to age decades.

When Su Muxue found Mrs. Cheng, she couldn’t bear to see such a wearied middle-aged woman.

She told Mrs. Cheng the whole truth, sincerely apologized on behalf of Zhao Yongkang, and expressed her willingness to provide compensation and care for Mrs. Cheng.

Meanwhile, the incident was widely exposed on the internet.

He Tiantian introduced Chenchen, the real genius painter, to everyone online.

Seeing how the internet sympathized with Chenchen’s plight, admired his talent, and lamented his death, Mrs. Cheng finally broke down in tears.

"Chenchen is gone, but it’s not just me who remembers him; many others now know he was a painting prodigy, a true Painter!"

After crying her heart out, Mrs. Cheng felt as if she had lifted a huge burden.

For the remainder of her life, she would continue to remember her Chenchen, but she was also beginning to slowly step forward and start a new Chapter in her life.

Mrs. Cheng refused Su Muxue’s financial compensation and expressed her thanks to her for revealing the truth and defending Chenchen’s honor.

Chenchen was not just a patient; he was a truly talented painter!

That was enough for her.

Sometimes, victims or their families don’t ask for much; they just want justice!

He Tiantian and Su Muxue brought justice for Mrs. Cheng and her son, which eased her mind.

Zhao Yongkang’s reputation was completely ruined.

His previous theft of Leng’s secrets was shocking enough, but there were still a few senseless netizens trying to defend him—saying that despite his poor character, he was talented.

But facts slapped those arguments away.

"Damn it, that Zhao is nothing but a habitual thief! During the competition, he stole his buddy’s paintings; after getting married, he stole his wife’s family’s technology. Does he steal people on the regular too, having affairs?"

"Exactly, and there were these idiotic fans who cleaned up after him, claiming he was talented! God, it turns out even his talent was stolen!"

"Man, He Taifu sure cut her losses in time. Remember, when he stole those works, he literally drove his good brother to death!"

"That’s right, the earlier the divorce, the less He Taifu will be conned by him. Oh right, Leng’s even released holographic images and plans to develop holographic games..."

"Leng’s... Even though they might’ve stolen Leng’s technology, the holographic game sounds really exciting."

"Absolutely! Can’t wait for Leng’s holographic games!"

"Waiting +1!"

The discussions among netizens quickly swayed off-topic.

It was clear in everyone’s mind that Leng’s technology might very well have been pilfered from Leng’s.

But Leng’s had more capabilities, and the same technology might develop further in their hands.

However, it didn’t take long for netizens to realize that Leng’s was truly exemplary.

Even though the scale of their group was much less than Leng’s, the original creators are still the originals.

Even though their technology might have been stolen by Leng’s, Leng’s stayed ahead of the curve and developed a series of technologies like holographic games and holographic movies.

Leng’s market value soared, advancing from a local company to a nationally recognized leader in cutting-edge technology.

In the realm of holography, Leng’s and Leng’s engaged in visible and secret rivalry, spurring each other on, which indirectly promoted the nationwide adoption of holography.

Just when Leng’s used its vast network of connections to take a step ahead of Leng’s and dominate most of the domestic market, Leng’s introduced Big White.

A true intelligent robot capable of being a human’s intimate companion, doctor, and housekeeper.

The public went wild, especially the young people pressured to marry and have children; Big White gave them the perfect excuse to refuse.

"You won’t get married? Won’t have kids? What will you do when you’re old and sick?"

"I have Big White. If I get sick, Big White can schedule an appointment for me, take me to the hospital, and look after me. When I’m old, Big White will be by my side. More caring than any child could be, available twenty-four hours."

"Big White also has a bodyguard program, so even living alone, I don’t fear intruders."

"Big White won’t betray me, won’t do disgusting things to upset me, with it by my side, I’ll never be alone!"

Thanks to Big White, Leng’s leaped from being the best high-tech enterprise in the country to a globally renowned company.

Not to be outdone, Leng’s quickly introduced an intelligent robot comparable to Big White.

Leng’s, Leng’s, Leng’s, Leng’s.

They were like a pair of frenemies, competing and outcompeting each other, neither the east wind overcoming the west wind, nor the west wind overcoming the east wind.

Running neck and neck, losing and winning, but overall, Leng’s was slightly more successful.

He Tiantian... of course, this is a contemporary web novel from the female lead’s perspective.

Some netizens, not knowing the real inside story, based on the years of competition between the two groups, fantasized over eight hundred Chapters of romance novels.

And even started shipping the unlikely pair of Leng’s and Leng’s.

He Tiantian & Su Muxue:...

Leng Mo knew a bit of the inside story: Leng’s was supposed to be inherited by "He Sitian", but surprisingly, the person actually in charge was Su Muxue, who was still in college.
