Sweet Chief Secretary - Chapter 449
Chapter 449 Be Careful of What You SaidThere was surely a lot of news the next day. The discussion in the forum was really very heated. Liu Sijie followed Shen Yan’s order to help to clarify for Xia Yu as soon as possible, and the police had come out to say that they indeed called the police.
But those three people seemed to disappear from this world, which caused the infinite imaginations of those netizens. They wrongly recognized people? There were so many people on the street. But why was Xia Yu just the one who was wrongly recognized?
And she had a history before. She liked to stay with the poor and spent money on them. When she was dating Chen Wenxuan before, didn’t she hand over all her salary to him?
What did Chen Wenxuan say at that time? He said that it was because she cheated on him, so he broke up with her. All the people wrongly thought at that time that the man she cheated with was Shen Yan, but now they thought that they were misled by her.
It must be the man who appeared yesterday. Tut-tut! They even had a child.
Seeing the news, Xia Yu was very surprised. Their imagination was so vivid. Xia Yu admired them very much.
She came back to the company listlessly. Fang Feifei and Li Feiran approached her to ask what had happened. She told them what happened to her yesterday.
“Anyway, I am so unfortunate.” Xia Yu summarized all in five words.
“Xia Yu, it is not accurate to summarize such a big event in these words. You are wrong.” Fang Feifei and Li Feiran were sensitive because of their professions. “Xia Yu, think about it. Would this thing get worse if this matter happened to a normal person?”
“Perhaps not.” Xia Yu’s thoughts were in a mess after she saw the news. It was hard for her to think about other things. Now they mentioned it, and she thought about it carefully. It made sense.
If it was a normal case of trafficking in women, people would discuss it for a period, but it would not last as long as it did now. The news was all around. Although Xia Yu could be counted as a celebrity, the public should not smear her one-sidedly. It was obvious that someone arranged it on purpose.
Or with the social status of Shen Yan in S city plus the power of the police, they could certainly find those people. But 20 hours had passed now, and they seemed to disappear from this earth.
“What did Young Master Yan say?” Fang Feifei opened her eyes so wide that they looked like bronze bells, and she hated those people who smeared Xia Yu to death.
“He persuaded me to think less and treat it normally.” Xia Yu knew that Shen Yan was just peaceful and calm on the surface, but under the surface, he must have done a lot for her. Or there wouldn’t be so many people who supported her.
Unfortunately, his power was too limited. What he had done was useless because those netizens liked gossiping and following suit so much.
“We can’t make it develop continuously. You two are about to get engaged. Old Madame will be pissed off.” Fang Feifei knew Old Madame well. She attached great importance to the reputation. “How about this? I can tell my brother and Du Zishu to find some media platforms that they are familiar with and try to weaken this matter.”
“Thank you, Feifei!” They could only try this now. Xia Yu hurried to thank Fang Feifei.
Xia Yu’s phone rang at this time, which freaked her out. She was afraid that it was from those reporters who wanted to interview her. She didn’t even look at it but hung up the phone.
Although she knew that she could not hide from it forever, but she could hide from it for a period at least. Now Xia Yu finally knew how troublesome it was to be a celebrity. She was commented and harassed by the telephone calls all day long.
Fang Feifei’s phone rang not after a while. It was from Li Wen. Fang Feifei didn’t want to pick it up at the beginning, but it just kept ringing, so she had to answer it. “Li Wen, what do you want this time?”
“I just want to know how Xia Yu is. I just called her, but her phone was turned off. You tell her that I will help her with this matter till it is finished. If I catch that bastard , I won’t let him go.” Li Wen knew this matter this morning. He was so smart that he understood what happened immediately. So, he called Xia Yu to ask about her situation.
But Xia Yu didn’t answer her call but powered off her phone. Therefore, he called Fang Feifei.
Li Wen was a jerk indeed, but he treated Xia Yu well. Most importantly, he was very rich in relations. If he could help her, it could be much easier to find those criminals.
Thinking about it, Fang Feifei changed her attitude, and it was not so bad as before. “She didn’t answer your phone because she thought you were those reporters who annoyed her very much with telephone calls. She was also forced to do it.”
“I got it. You tell Xia Yu that I will solve this matter.” Who were those bastards that dared to bother the woman he liked? He would not be Li Wen if he didn’t tear off their skin when he caught them.
Li Wen hung up the phone and asked his assistant to come in. “The website where those netizens discussed most heatedly belongs to my aunt, right? Does she want to end up the relationship as a relative with me? Go to tell her that if they continue making rumors on this matter, they shouldn’t blame me for I swear on their ancient generations.
“What?” The assistant was stunned. Was Young Master Li insane? Xia Yu was Shen Yan’s girlfriend. Why did he participate in this issue and even want to be against his relative? He shouldn’t forget that their ancient generations had relationships with him as well.
The assistant could only think so inside because he dared not to speak it out. He didn’t want to be fired. Seeing that Li Wen was waiting for his answer, he hurried to say, “Yes, I am going to do it.”
“Move your a** !” Li Wen grabbed a document on the desk and threw it over.
The assistant retreated hurriedly. When he was at the gate, Li Wen’s phone rang. It was from Zhang Peng. He questioned Li Wen in a bad mood on the phone. “Damn ! What do you mean? You got back on Xia Yu because you failed to date her? And you asked your aunt to make rumors on her like this. Can you be more virile?”
Zhang Peng scolded Li Wen fiercely on the phone. He counted all the bad things Li Wen had done since he was in the primary school till now on the phone. He had made so many troubles, so it was impossible for him to date Xia Yu.
The assistant leaning over the door eavesdropped him while his scalp tingled. Gosh! How harsh Young Master Zhang who was offended by his own young master was! He remembered all those old trivial things.
If those things were exposed, how could his young master go out to face others in the future? No wonder his young master would be so irritated, and he had so many handles on the hands of others. He did not dare to be against them.
No! He had to hurry for his young master’s command. Or it would be him who became the trending topic on the Internet.
Soon, the assistant called his young master’s aunt said that he had some handles on the hands of others and asked them to stop the discussion, or his young master would be driven mad.
It was very serious when Li Wen got mad. So, Li Wen’s aunt decisively commanded her staff to stop the discussion. But actually, she hated Li Wen so much in her mind because he forced her to give up such hot news. She was unwilling to do so.
With the help of different people, the discussion was weakened, which was not so heated as before. In the afternoon, only several websites were still discussing. Those reporters who stayed at the gate of Tengfei left, which bettered the mood of Xia Yu a little.
Xiao Tang knew that she was afraid of seeing outsiders at this time, so she actively bought lunch for her to have in the office.
“Thank you, Xiao Tang! But I really have no appetite.” Xia Yu had no mood to have lunch. Although only very few social media platforms paid attention to this matter now, everyone knew it already.
Now it was not that a clean hand wanted no washing, but that gossip was a fearful thing.
“Even if you have no appetite, you have to eat a little. Or you will have no energy to fight against them.” Xiao Tang said outragedly, “Not only I think in this way, but people in the whole dining hall are discussing this. They all think that this matter must have something to do with Young Master Mo.”
Xia Yu said weakly, “Be careful of what you said. We have no evidence, after all. If you keep guessing at random without evidence in this way, you will be blamed by First Madame if she gets to know it.”
“Don’t you think that their words make sense? In terms of their performance, Young Master Mo is weaker than Young Master Yan. And in terms of the contribution to the Headquarters, he is also weaker than Young Master Yan. His deadline is close, and no wonder he is so worried.” Everyone had an educated guess. And Young Master Mo had a history before that he wanted to crack down on Young Master Yan and trapped him with Jiang Yayan.
What was more, he slandered Young Master Yan again last time at the charity event. His history was so unclean. How could he make things smooth when Young Master Yan would get engaged to Xia Yu?
It might make sense, but they should have some evidence. Xia Yu used her chopsticks in her hand to poke the dishes, and her headache was strong.
But exactly at this time, Old Madame’s secretary called Xia Yu and asked her to go to the old house. Obviously, Old Madame was about to blame her.
“Xia Yu, don’t be afraid. Old Madame is a reasonable person. She asked you to go there probably because she wants to comfort you.” Under such a circumstance, the only thing Xiao Tang could do was to comfort Xia Yu. Although she said so, she still felt worried about Xia Yu in her heart.
“I hope so.” What else could Xia Yu say? She simply sorted out her stuff and took her bag. Then she went to the old house of Shen Family.
Second Madame was already waiting at the door. Seeing that Xia Yu got out of the car, she hurried to come up to her and held her hands. She said, “You have suffered a lot, Xiao Yu. Don’t be worried. I believe you.”
“Thank you, auntie.” Xia Yu was really a little touched. She had been scolded for such a long time. Now finally, someone came out and believed her. And it was her mother-in-law in the future.
In fact, she didn’t care about what the outsiders said, and she would just feel bad at most when hearing that. But if her family members didn’t believe her, then it was a big problem. It was lucky that Second Madame said that she believed her.
“Go in! Old Madame is waiting for you. They may say something bad later, but you don’t have to care about that. Just ignore them.” Second Madame held Xia Yu’s arm and told her those things at the side.
“I got it, auntie.” Xia Yu nodded. She was ready to face these things when she came over. Not to mention others, she knew that First Madame would not forgive her according to her temper.
When she entered the living room, she found that not only First Madame but also many relatives of Shen Family were waiting for her there. They all saw those reports on the Internet and went to ask Old Madame about the situation.
It didn’t matter if it was Xia Yu with another man. And in the present era, people all kept an acceptive attitude to these things. But she had such a child, and it would be unacceptable.
Shen Family was a big and famous family. No matter how open-minded they were, they could not accept such a daughter-in-law. So, all the relatives consistently asked Old Madame to cancel the engagement.
Old Madame trusted the character of Xia Yu. But this matter was so influential. Could she believe strongly that Xia Yu was innocent? If she made sure that Xia Yu was innocent now, how could she take the responsibility to face others when this matter was proved to be true after they got engaged or even married?
So, she could only ask Xia Yu to come over and let her explain to everyone in person face to face. They could decide on their own whether it was true or not after hearing her words.
“Xiao Yu, the elders of our family are all sitting here. Greet them.” Second Madame smiled and introduced them to Xia Yu, but everyone just nodded coldly.
“Sister-in-law, I don’t mean it on purpose. But do you really want to be a mother-in-law so much? You know that she has a husband and a child. But you still get close to her, don’t you?” First Madame was in a good mood today. Oh, my! She was so fortunate. Her son would marry a girl who even had a child. How convenient it was!
“Please be careful of what you said, sister-in-law!” Second Madame’s face darkened. After all, Xia Family was a famous and rich family. Did she have any evidence that Xia Yu had a child with another man?
