Sweet Chief Secretary - Chapter 450

“Sister-in-law, I am worried about you and Shen Yan. If it were really her child, what could you do?” First Madame pretended to be kind and said, “Sister-in-law, don’t be stupid and think about the future of Shen Yan.”

“Well, no one will think you as a dumb if you talk less.” Old Madame was angry and yelled at First Madame aside. Then she asked Xia Yu, “What happened on earth yesterday?”

Xia Yu had already been asked this question many times, but as Old Madame asked, she said it again in detail.

“I have heard of this kind of accident before. It seems that Xia Yu has met a trafficker. Nowadays, the traffickers are really too arrogant. They even dared to rob people on the street in broad daylight.” Yang Weiye first opened his mouth and said because he really did not believe that Xia Yu was such a person.

Moreover, the incident itself could not be simpler. Xia Yu was unlucky to encounter a trafficker, but it was lucky for her to be rescued by some passers-by. The reporters made a big deal of it unscrupulously because she was the only child of the Ruyi Tower as well as the girlfriend of Shen Yan.

Of course, the reporters also wanted to earn money, so they wrote as they wanted. If people of Shen Family believed it for this, what would other people outside think about them when they knew the accident? They would directly say that they were idiots and very stupid. Then the whole family would become a laughing stock of others, wouldn’t they?

“His second uncle, you are Shen Yan’s elder. Are you so sure that who they met are traffickers but not anyone else?” First Madame looked unhappy, seeing that Yang Weiye hurried to come out to support them.

Now Old Madame was even afraid to make it sure for Xia Yu. If he was brave enough to make it sure for her, and something went wrong, these people in Shen Family would certainly hold him accountable.

First Madame stared at Yang Weiye with an obvious sense of warning.

“I am not sure that those people are instructed to deliberately frame Xia Yu by someone, or they are real traffickers, but I believe that Xia Yu has nothing to do with them.” Yang Weiye said straightforwardly and firmly, “Xia Yu’s character is guaranteed by me. If people really find out that Xia Yu is related to those people one day and it affects Shen Family’s reputation, I will take all the responsibility.”

“In fact, Xia Yu has been in Shen Group for more than three years. It’s said that a heart of someone will be examined by time, isn’t it? Have you ever heard about any problem with her integrity? I don’t think so. The sudden incident related to her so-called husband and child is just too ridiculous.” Yang Weiming continued the words of his younger brother. “I would rather believe that someone is jealous of Xia Yu’s talent and her status of the successor of Ruyi Tower, so he deliberately slandered her.”

These words were quite straightforward. People present were all somebodies. How come they didn’t understand that?

The brothers of Yang Family were reminding everyone that it would be OK if they wanted to follow to frame Shen Yan, but Xia Mingde would not let it go easily if they tried to do any harm to Xia Yu like this.

Last time when Jiang Family re-elected their President, Jiang Tao originally was ahead of Jiang An. It was because Miss Dong called Xia Yu before the vote and Xia Yu told her father that Jiang Group’s President became Jiang An.

Nowadays, everyone accused Xia Yu without any evidence. Modestly speaking, they were interrogating. Harshly speaking, they were slandering Xia Yu. Xia Family, in light of their status, didn’t need to flatter Shen Family.

These people present were not stupid. It was not good for them to offend the Xia Family. Maybe they would be gotten back on by the Xia Family together with Shen Yan. Why should they trap themselves?

Thinking about this, everyone did not speak. Although there were dozens of people on the scene, it was so silent that even their breath could be heard.

What a group of old foxes! Old Madam knew that they would not say anything and said with a dry cough, “Xia Yu, you must be shocked by what happened yesterday. But rumor is very horrible, so I hope you can calm down this storm as soon as possible.”

“Mom, you can rest assured as Little Yan is already dealing with it, and it will not affect their engagement.” Second Madame rushed to say aside. They made such a big scene. Weren’t they trying not to let them get engaged so quickly?

Now Shen Yan’s mother, in front of everyone, told everyone for certain that this marriage would definitely be engaged, as Shen Yan was her son who must obey her.

The damn woman! When she was gaining power at this moment, she was so arrogant that she even did not know what her surname was. Wouldn’t the engagement be affected as you said? We would wait and see! First Madame glared at Second Madame with her eyes full of anger.

“In this case, you should prepare for it as there are only a few days left.” What else could Old Madame say? They all thought that it was an accident yesterday, and they had already called the police.

She could not cancel the engagement simply because of such an accident. What would other people think of them?

“We listen to Old Madame.” No one dared to oppose, so they all nodded.

“Xiao Yu, go back to have a rest first, and the rest will be handled by Little Yan.” Second Madame patted the hand of Xia Yu and asked her to go first. The air here was too dirty for her to stay.

Xia Yu actually had wanted to leave earlier, and as Second Madame asked her to leave, she went out in a hurry.

When her car had just left the house of Shen Family for less than five minutes, she received a phone call from Shen Yan. After knowing that she had already come out of the old house, Shen Yan was relieved. “Then go home and have a rest. Don’t go to the company.”

“I know!” Xia Yu hung up the phone.

After going back home, as soon as Aunt Ma saw Xia Yu, she was also very anxious and took Xia Yu’s hand. She said, “Miss Xia, don’t blame me for being long-winded. I used to have seen a similar thing when I was a domestic helper in another family. It’s their competitors who wanted to discredit them. They tried repeatedly until that family was ruined by them.”

There would even be a second time? Xia Yu was shocked in her mind. Frankly speaking, it was really possible, so she hurriedly to ask Aunt Ma, “How did they make it?”

“They just tracked their families on the road, and once they got the opportunity, they would copy that trick for the second time. I tell you that they are so arrogant.” Aunt Ma was still a little terrified after thinking about it. “Miss Xia, you must be careful.”

“I know.” Xia Yu nodded. Seeing Aunt Ma holding a bag, Xia Yu asked her, “Where are you going?”

“I’m going to the supermarket to buy some food.”

“I will go with you.”

Xia Yu thought that the possibility that Aunt Ma said just now might happen. So, it would be better for her to go to the supermarket with Aunt Ma to buy a miniature camera to take it with her. If they really dared to do that again, she could use it to record.

“Okay, let’s go.”

Aunt Ma thought that Xia Yu was afraid of being alone at home, so she wanted to follow her. Thinking about what a little child she was, Aunt Ma really felt sad about what happened to her in her mind. It would be better for Xia Yu to follow her since she could help Xia Yu.

After arriving at the supermarket, Xia Yu went straight to the electronic zone and bought the most expensive miniature camera. Then she went to buy some food with Aunt Ma.

But Xia Yu always thought for no reason that someone was following her, but when she looked back, she could not find anyone suspicious.

“Miss Xia, is there someone you know behind?” Aunt Ma saw that Xia Yu always looked back and curiously asked.

“It seems to a customer who has worked with me before.” Xia Yu perfunctorily said. When she was shopping just now, she felt that someone was tracking her.

But Xia Yu was sure that someone was staring at her. After a while, Xia Yu walked towards the bathroom while observing the customers in the supermarket with the corners of her eyes to find out who was following her.

When she passed by a guest, she suddenly smiled at Xia Yu and then grabbed her hand. Soon, she had something in her hand, which felt like a note. Xia Yu looked at her doubtfully. Then she went into the bathroom and opened her palm. It was indeed a note. After reading it, Xia Yu found it both funny and annoying.

“Miss Xia, Young Master Yan asked me to be your bodyguard. I will protect you secretly. Don’t take me as a follower.” Her contact number was written on the back.

Thinking of the girl’s delicate and exquisite body, she did not expect her to be a bodyguard. She should never judge someone out of his appearance.

But why had not Shen Yan told her in advance? Xia Yu threw the note into the toilet and then pressed the flush button.

When she passed by the female bodyguard again, Xia Yu did not deliberately look at her but went directly to the side of Aunt Ma.

After they went home together, Aunt Ma took the food into the kitchen, and Xia Yu went to the room to change her clothes. After coming into the room, she closed the door and locked it. Then she took out the “invisible” camera in her bag and changed into a black and white polka dot top so that it could be easier to hide the camera, making it difficult to detect. She then put her hair down again and covered the camera completely with her hair.

“Ding!” The phone rang, and it was a text message from Shen Yan, which asked where Xia Yu was.

Xia Yu quickly gave him a reply. “At home. Have you arranged a female bodyguard for me?”

“Yeah, if she protects you secretly, it will make me feel relieved.”

She was really a bodyguard invited by him, so Xia Yu was relieved. Then she put away the mobile phone and went out to cook with Aunt Ma. But because of something in her heart, she ate very little, and although Aunt Ma repeatedly persuaded her, she just barely ate some.

In the afternoon, Zhou Yan and Wanru came over to visit her, and they brought some medicine to her. Zhou Yan looked at Xia Yu and felt that she was too unlucky. He held the pill bottle tightly in his hand, and his knuckles were white. His brows were furrowed, but he finally handed over the pill bottle to Xia Yu.

“Xia Yu, you should take one pill per day, just as before.”

“Okay, thank you.”

Xia Yu put the pill bottle into her bag. They asked some more questions about those several people. Wanru was filled with apprehension after hearing her words and was constantly comforting Xia Yu at the side.

They sat for a while and then left. Xia Yu also returned to the room to lie on the bed, but she couldn’t fall asleep. She kept thinking about in her mind what Aunt Ma had said. When would they repeat that trick next time? And what should she do?

She kept thinking and did not fall asleep until early morning.

The next day early in the morning, Xia Yu went out and decided to hang out on the street. Anyway, she had a bodyguard. If they really appeared, the bodyguard could protect her.

However, she did not go too far but went home soon.

When she went back home, Aunt Ma had already gotten up and was about to go out to buy some food with a recycle bag. When she saw Xia Yu coming in from the outside, she was surprised and said, “Miss Xia, why did you get up so early today?”

“Well, I woke up early, so I just walked around the community.” Xia Yu said with a smile and then went into the kitchen to start to make breakfast.

“Miss Xia, why do you suddenly look so bad? Are you OK?” Aunt Ma asked with concern.

“No, I just didn’t have a good sleep last night.” Xia Yu said and pressed on the place between her eyebrows with her hand.

“Miss Xia, don’t worry too much. As long as you are careful, you can still get it through.” Aunt Ma knew that Xia Yu was frightened and had a sleep disorder last night. “How about going shopping with me?”

In the case, Aunt Ma was still worried about her being alone. It would be better for Xia Yu to be with her since she could help Xia Yu.

“Alright. Please wait for me to change my clothes.” Xia Yu also wanted to hang around to see if she could meet those people again.

Xia Yu even intentionally had breakfast with Aunt Ma outside, but there wasn’t even anyone coming to start a conversation with her, which made her both surprised and disappointed. Until those people came out one day, she could finally be relieved.

“Miss Xia, how about I accompany you to the hospital?” Aunt Ma, seeing that Xia Yu’s face was still very gaunt, was afraid that she was really sick.

“I’m fine. By the way, Aunt Ma, as for the story that you told me yesterday when you were a domestic helper in another family, how many days later did those people reappear?” It was too quiet today, so she wanted to make it clear.

“Two days later. What?” Aunt Ma saw Xia Yu ask again, thinking that she was afraid, so she held her hand to comfort her.
