Zhou Ninger was still soundly asleep on the luxurious bed, completely unaware.

Under the influence of drugs and alcohol, she had no idea who she had shared a tender moment with.

Zhou Lin kicked open the door.

He walked up to her and delivered several hard slaps.

Zhou Ninger's delicate face immediately swelled up.

She slightly opened her drowsy eyes and, upon seeing the man, instinctively grabbed his clothes and tried to move closer.

"Ninger, be obedient and don't leave..."

Zhou Lin coldly avoided her, expressing extreme disgust in his tone.

"You fool! What have you learned during your years abroad? You've become a promiscuous woman, willing to sleep with anyone. All you do is bring shame to the Zhou family!"

I lowered my eyes behind him.

But inside, I was smiling brightly.

Indeed, isn't this the precious daughter you raised to be useless?

I was well aware—

Zhou Lin's business dealings in the south relied heavily on support from Zhou Ninger's biological mother's family.

He promised to take care of the daughter of his deceased wife, but it was just a show for her maternal family.

Throughout, Zhou Lin boasted about his excessive love for Zhou Ninger, but it was all for his own benefit.

Even when Zhou Ninger developed an entirely abnormal reliance on him, he turned a blind eye, even encouraging it.

However, now Zhou Ninger had become his stain.

When a child's morals are corrupted and their reputation is damaged, it becomes a death knell for his business shares.

Zhou Ninger was taken away for gastric lavage.

I considerately sat by Zhou Lin's side, handing him a handkerchief and water.

His restless and weary eyes relaxed slightly.

"Jiao Jiao, why can't she learn even a bit from her mother?"

I massaged his temples.

But I didn't respond to his words at all, casually speaking:

"Daughters will eventually get married. Once they marry into their husband's family, they're like water that has been thrown away, no longer counted as part of the mother's family.

"Even if something scandalous were to come out, as long as it's labeled as a little lover's affair, those who enjoy watching the spectacle will lose interest.

"When a girl grows up and wants to indulge a bit, everyone will understand."

Zhou Lin's gaze changed, and he instinctively agreed.

"Yes, before marriage, a little indulgence can be forgiven..."

He quickly turned around and asked the butler.

"Did you find out? Where did that wild man come from?"

The butler hesitated and glanced at him before speaking:

"The person with Miss... is Shen Li, the illegitimate son of Shen Ximing, the chairman of Shenming Corporation."

"Illegitimate son?" Zhou Lin clenched his teeth, his chest heaving violently.

"Fine, as long as he's from the Shen family, cancel the engagement banquet immediately and quickly find a replacement for me!"

"I'll throw the paternity test in Shen old man's face. Even if he doesn't acknowledge it, he'll have to!"

I looked towards the end of the corridor.

A young man was tied to a chair. He had a handsome face and still maintained a charming appearance despite his disheveled clothes.

At that moment, the young man happened to lift his head.

Taking advantage of the chaos, he subtly curled up the corners of his mouth, barely noticeable to others.
