Shen Yifeng and Lin Yue have not yet fully emerged from the joy of their victory in the courtroom, and the waves of life have set off new waves. Although the breeze on the street was gentle, it could not dispel their worries about the unknown future. Shen Yifeng held Lin Yue's hand tightly, the temperature of his palm conveys strength and peace of mind, but Lin Yue's heart is still vaguely uneasy, after all, Shen's mother's seemingly gentle but with a critical gaze, such as the haze like a cloud over her heart.
Back home, Shen Yifeng's cell phone rang abruptly, it was her mother calling. His mother's tired and relieved voice came through the receiver, asking him to come home to talk about it. Shen Yifeng held the phone, his complexion tightened, he understood that the probability of this call was related to Lin Yue.
The next day, Shen Yifeng and Lin Yue went to the Shen family together. Lin Yue's palms were slightly sweaty, she subconsciously clutched Shen Yifeng's hand and asked softly, "Yifeng, do you think auntie will accept me?" Shen Yifeng tenderly squeezed her hand and comforted, "Don't worry, I'm here, I'll talk to mom."
Stepping through the door of Shen's house, Shen's mother had already been waiting in the living room. Her gaze fell on Lin Yue like a searchlight, and Lin Yue could clearly feel the scrutiny in that gaze. "You're Lin Yue, aren't you, come, sit." Mother Shen's tone was polite yet distant.
Shen Yifeng sat next to his mother and said bluntly, "Mom, I know what you want to say. Lin Yue is the person I love, she's been with me during my toughest times and helped me get through it, I hope you can accept her." Shen mother frowned slightly, and after a moment of silence, she said, "Yifeng, I know that she has helped you a lot, but you have to be clear, our Shen family's identity and status is here, some things aren't that simple."
Lin Yue took a deep breath, gathered her courage and said, "Auntie, I understand that there is a gap between me and Yifeng, but I really love him, and I will try to make myself better, and won't discredit the Shen family." Shen mother looked at Lin Yue, the scrutiny in her eyes gradually turned into a hint of appreciation, "I can see that you are a brave girl, but marriage is not just about two people, it is also about two families. You go back first, let me and Yifeng discuss it again."
Coming out of the Shen family, Lin Yue's mood was like hitting rock bottom. Shen Yifeng looked at her painfully and comforted, "Don't be discouraged, mom just needs time to accept it. I will always persevere, believe me." Lin Yue barely managed to squeeze out a smile, "Well, I believe you."
Meanwhile, after Xiaoyan learned of Shen Yifeng and Lin Yue's court victory, the jealousy and resentment in her heart was like a raging tide that completely overwhelmed her. She paced back and forth in her room, her eyes glittering with madness, "They think this is the end? No, this is just the beginning."
Xiaoyan began digging around into Lin Yue's past, trying to find more handles that she could use to attack her. Finally, she discovers the untold story behind Lin Yue's participation in an advertising creative competition during her college years and winning the prize. It turns out that one of the judges of the competition was Lin Yue's college teacher, who was extremely appreciative of Lin Yue's talent and gave her professional guidance and advice during the competition, which made Lin Yue's work stand out among the many entries. When Xiaoyan learned of this news, she was secretly pleased with herself, "Now there's a way to deal with you, Lin Yue."
Xiaoyan quickly contacted some media outlets and revealed this so-called "inside story" to them, claiming that Lin Yue had cheated in the competition and had relied on her teacher's favoritism to win the award. These media outlets had reported this news without verification in order to gain eyeballs. For a while, a wave of denunciation against Lin Yue was once again raised on the internet.
Lin Yue felt the strange gazes of her colleagues in the company, she opened her cell phone and saw those overwhelming negative reports, aggression and anger instantly surged to her heart. She immediately dialed Shen Yifeng's number: "Yifeng, did you see those reports? How could they slander me like that!" Shen Yifeng's voice was tinged with anger: "I saw it, this is definitely Xiaoyan's doing. Don't worry, we can definitely find evidence to prove your innocence."
Shen Yifeng began to look around for relevant information and witnesses from the competition back then, he contacted other judges at the time and some of the students who participated in the competition, hoping that they would come forward to testify for Lin Yue. However, some chose to remain silent for fear of getting into trouble, while others were bribed by Xiaoyan and refused to speak for Lin Yue.
Just when Shen Yifeng and Lin Yue are feeling desperate, an unexpected turn of events occurs -- the university teacher who gave Lin Yue guidance back then takes the initiative to come forward. He approached Shen Yifeng and Lin Yue and said, "I can't see you being wrongly accused, the guidance I gave Lin Yue back then was based on her talent and hard work, and her work deserved to be number one. I am willing to testify in court to prove her innocence."
Shen Yifeng and Lin Yue's hearts were filled with gratitude after hearing this. With their teacher's testimony, they finally had the backbone to fight back. Shen Yifeng immediately contacted a lawyer and prepared to sue Xiaoyan again for defamation.
In the courtroom, the tense atmosphere was like a big invisible net that enveloped everyone. The air in the courtroom seemed to be frozen by the tense atmosphere, every meeting of the eyes carried the air of a sword, Lin Yue's heartbeat was like thunder, she held Shen Yifeng's hand tightly and waited for the verdict of fate. Lin Yue's teacher stood up with a firm gaze and a loud voice: ''I can attest that Lin Yue's talent is unquestionable. During the competition, I only gave her some professional advice, which were all based on her solid foundation and unique creativity. Her work is like a shining star amongst the many entries, and it is well deserved to stand out ..." Xiaoyan's face instantly turned pale, her voice trembled as she attempted to retort: "This... ... this isn't true, you guys colluded ..." The judge's gaze was fixed on Xiaoyan, her expression serious: "Defendant, please remain quiet, and if you have any evidence, please present it in a reasonable manner." The audience inside the courtroom exchanged words, some of them showed surprise, while others showed a look of sudden realization.
After some heated debates and cross-examination, the court finally ruled that Xiaoyan's defamation was established, and that she had to publicly apologize to Lin Yue and take the corresponding legal responsibility. The moment the judge announced the verdict, Lin Yue's tears came out of her eyes, it was the release of aggression and the joy of victory. She looked at Shen Yifeng, her heart filled with emotion, "We've succeeded once again, Yifeng." Shen Yi Feng hugged her tightly, "Yes, we got through this together. No matter what we encounter in the future, we won't be afraid anymore."
However, what they did not know was that in the corner of the courtroom, a mysterious figure was coldly watching them. This person was Li Ming's right-hand man, who had been plotting to avenge Li Ming after he was imprisoned. He looked at Shen Yifeng and Lin Yue and secretly swore in his heart, ''Don't be complacent, this is just the beginning. I will definitely make you guys pay for what you have done."
After coming out of the court, Shen Yifeng and Lin Yue's life seemed to have returned to peace. But they were both clear that this calm was only superficial, and that there was a bigger crisis hidden behind it. Shen Yifeng began to work harder, hoping to make his career more solid and build a solid foundation for his and Lin Yue's future. Lin Yue also achieves new successes in the advertising agency, and her talent is recognized by more people.
One evening, Shen Yifeng and Lin Yue took a walk on the beach. The sea breeze gently kissed their hair, the waves played romantic music, Shen Yifeng knelt down on one knee, the ring in his hand glittered under the moonlight, and the light was as bright and firm as the love they had walked all the way through. "Lin Yue, after experiencing so much, I am even more certain that you are the person I want to spend my life with. Are you willing to marry me?" Lin Yue looked at Shen Yifeng, her eyes filled with surprise and emotion, tears came to her eyes, she nodded her head vigorously, "I'm willing, Yifeng." Shen Yifeng gently put on the ring for Lin Yue, then stood up and hugged her tightly. At this moment, it was as if they had forgotten all their troubles and crises and were only immersed in their love for each other.
However, just as they were enjoying this happy moment, Shen Yifeng's cell phone suddenly rang. He picked up the phone and his face instantly became grave. An unfamiliar voice came from the other end of the phone, "Shen Yifeng, do you think everything is over? The good show has just begun." After saying that, the other party hung up the phone. Shen Yifeng looked at Lin Yue, his heart filled with worry: "Lin Yue, there might be trouble again. But no matter what happens, I won't let you get hurt." Lin Yue held Shen Yi Feng's hand tightly, "I'm not afraid, as long as we're together, there's no difficulty that can't be overcome."
It turns out that in the process of searching for evidence to prove Lin Yue's innocence, Shen Yifeng accidentally discovered that behind that year's competition hid a huge conspiracy involving the industry's unspoken rules. This conspiracy was not only related to Lin Yue's competition, but was also inextricably linked to Shen Yifeng's business project. Back then, some giants in the advertising industry had secretly manipulated the judges in order to control the results of the competition, attempting to win awards for entries that were in their interests. Lin Yue's teacher was ostracized by these people for insisting on fairness and supporting Lin Yue. And Shen Yifeng's business projects had gradually touched the interests of these giants, who had long regarded Shen Yifeng as a thorn in their side. Now, this dusty conspiracy gradually surfaced, Shen Yifeng and Lin Yue will face a new round of challenges from these industry giants.
Not only that, Shen Yifeng and Lin Yue accidentally discover an unknown connection between their families when they are dealing with a crisis. It turns out that Shen Yifeng's grandfather and Lin Yue's grandfather were once business partners, but later parted ways due to a business dispute. This connection could either be a booster for their relationship, causing Shen's mother to change her attitude towards Lin Yue, or it could lead to new conflicts; after all, the truth of that business dispute is still confusing.
In this seemingly calm night, a new crisis is approaching. Can Shen Yifeng and Lin Yue's love withstand a new test? And how will they cope with the upcoming challenges? Everything is still unknown ...
