Sweet Chief Secretary - Chapter 451

After waiting for two days, there was still not any movement of the other side at all. Xia Yu couldn’t help looking for Shen Yan and asked him to withdraw the bodyguard so as to draw out those people.

Shen Yan asked about the reason, and Xia Yu told what Aunt Ma said to her to Shen Yan. He frowned when hearing that. “Xia Yu, now the government and the underworld in S city are looking for them. You think they really dare to do anything to you boldly?”

“If they don’t come out, how can I prove my innocence?” Xia Yu thought Shen Yan was right, and they did not dare to appear, but this was exactly the worst situation.

“You are innocent without any evidence.” Even if no one believed Xia Yu, Shen Yan would definitely believe her.

“Although this is true, if others say that you are engaged to a person who has already been married, your reputation will be harmed.” Xia Yu heard every word uttered by his families and relatives that day.

These were all their relatives, not to mention others without any relationship with them. What would they think of him?

“None of their business! I am willing, not to mention that my wife is not that kind of person.” Shen Yan comforted Xia Yu while holding her in his arms and said, “Don’t think too much. Some people just like gossiping. After some time, when no one pays attention to them, they will naturally stop talking.”

Of course, Xia Yu understood it. But it was not true that no one cared now under such a turmoil. “But it will influence the company’s business.” This was what Xia Yu was worried about.

“It’s not a big deal. At the time when Jiang Yayan triggered such a great deal of disturbance, I wasn’t even impacted a bit, was I?” Shen Yan had experienced every thorny problem, and as for this one related to Xia Yu, even though it did have an impact on the company, it could be solved.

“You are really optimistic.” In this respect, Xia Yu was really no match for Shen Yan. When Jiang Yayan was just outside the door before, and Jiangjiang was on the scene, Shen Yan finished the entire press conference calmly and simply with the support of the words of Xia Yu that if you trusted me, I would continue.

Based on this, Xia Yu admired him.

“This is not about optimism. As long as you believe that you are innocent, you will get everyone’s understanding sooner or later.” Thinking of that incident, Shen Yan also had a lot to feel.

It was also because of this incident that he had a much better look at Xia Yu and was even more determined that Xia Yu was the one who he should spend his life with.

After sitting in each other’s arms for a while, Shen Yan loosened Xia Yu. He stood up and said, “There is a rally in the evening. I must attend. Have a good rest at home.”

He had originally intended to invite Xia Yu to go with him, but seeing that Xia Yu was so worried, he felt that it was better to keep her at home, so he didn’t mention it to her.

“I’ll go, too.” Xia Yu knew that sooner or later, there must be a lot of reporters for her to face on such an occasion as today. As she appeared, maybe those reporters would ask some difficult questions.

But if she didn’t show up, reporters would write something bitterer. Since there was a dilemma, she thought that facing the difficulty would be better.

“Okay, I’ll wait for you to change your clothes.” Now that Xia Yu figured it out, Shen Yan was also very relieved.

But after arriving at the scene, Xia Yu felt still a little guilty, trying to avoid people. Especially when Shen Yan was entertaining everyone, she simply sat in the lounge.

Even so, she still met an acquaintance, Shen Chengyang, a distant relative of Shen Family, who also went to the old house that day. Seeing Xia Yu sitting in the lounge, he walked over. “Miss Xia, why are you alone?”

“I’m a little tired and want to take a break.” Xia Yu had no choice but to say hello to him.

Was it because she felt guilty to see anyone? Shen Chengyang didn’t speak it out but continued to smile. He said, “I always feel that Miss Xia is familiar, as if I have seen you before somewhere. And where have you been before?”

What did he mean? Was he trying to frame her? A large part of these relatives of the Shen Family supported Shen Mo. In order to let Shen Mo become the President, they would spare no effort to destroy the marriage of them.

Xia Yu feared that if one of her answers was not careful, that would give them an excuse again. Taking a breath slightly, she silently told herself in her mind that she should not be self-defeating, so she lowered her head and laughed again. “Director Shen, you really have a good memory. I was indeed fortunate to have participated in several industrial activities before, and I should have met you in person.”

“That’s it.” Shen Chengyang stared at Xia Yu for a few seconds before finally lowering his eyes. “Maybe, but I always can’t remember people. I think that my eyesight has deteriorated over the past few years, resulting in bad eyes.”

Then he gave a self-deprecating laugh twice and looked up at Xia Yu’s face again. Then the conversation was changed sharply. “But I do remember Miss Xia, and it was not in an activity.”

Xia Yu’s heart gradually tightened, as if her breath was blocked at once. Taking another breath, she tried to ask, “Where is that?”

“On the photo!”

“On the photo?”

Shen Chengyang smiled vaguely and did not rush to answer, but he walked slowly to the front of Xia Yu. He stared at her again for a few seconds and then suddenly lowered his head to her ear.

“Miss Xia, you probably don’t know it yet. The affair between you and my brother has been targeted by the media for a long time. Someone even sent me a picture of you two gathering together at midnight before!”

Xia Yu was stiff all over, with Shen Chengyang’s baleful voice in her ears. It was not clear what he meant by saying that. What was wrong as she got together with Shen Yan?

Since Jiang Yayan’s turmoil, it had been known by all the people that Shen Yan didn’t have a girlfriend. Even if they were photographed together, it was normal, and it was not necessary to take it out to talk about on purpose.

“But don’t worry too much. You also know well about these paparazzi. They only want your money. I’ve settled them down. Now the pictures are all with me. Don’t worry. I promise not to give them out if nothing unexpected happens.” With a smile in the last sentence, Xia Yu heard the meaning inside, like a threat warning.

Shen Chengyang not only said it, but also talked loudly, and soon he again said in her ear, “It’s just that our Shen Family is prestigious, after all. I don’t care how you two mess up but just hope you to be low-key in the future. After all, now there are eyes everywhere. My brother is so proud that he even made a trivial financial project known to everyone. The scale is so large, and there is so much money outside. I will wait to see how he clean up this mess!”

“But I also admire Miss Xia’s determination. What do you want from him? His money? Your family is already rich, and he is only the second son of the Shen Family. At that time when my other brother, Shen Mo, becomes the President, you have no value but are only given an insulting reputation as a mistress. If you just want him…”

Shen Chengyang snorted again coldly. “My brother is born to be cold and indifferent. Do you understand it? Just don’t expect him to be really affectionate to anyone. Anyone in his eyes is a tool that he can take advantage of at any time. As for you…” Shen Chengyang raised his eyebrows and glanced at Xia Yu’s face again. Then the words were suddenly turned. “Has my brother mentioned anything about him and his girlfriend?”

Xia Yu’s heart tightened, and her eyes turned over a little stiffly. Shen Chengyang’s tone sounded like she was someone who interfered with his relationship. As for the engagement, that was only a chess in his game of competition with Shen Mo.

As soon as he completed his own mission, he would ruthlessly abandon her and returned to her girlfriend.

Under the light, Shen Chengyang’s pupils looked like a whirlpool that was stunning, but his brows rose slightly, and he was smiling.

Xia Yu stared at him. “What do you want to say?”

He laughed more wantonly.

“It seems that he didn’t mention it to you, but after thinking about it, he probably had no face to mention it to you.”

Shen Chengyang said all these ridiculous stuff, thinking that Xia Yu would definitely follow up to ask, but the woman in front of him only had her face calmly pale and her eyesight carelessly hollow, which made him feel very upset, as if he had set up a large pit for the goal to jump down, but she easily got around.

Shen Chengyang could not help frowning again. “Aren’t you curious about his past?”

“Why should I be curious?” Xia Yu finally laughed out, and her biggest advantage was that she didn’t like to ask more. “What is more, who doesn’t have his own past?”

Shen Chengyang was strangled almost to death directly by her words, and he scratched his forehead with his hand.

“Interesting, it seems that my brother didn’t pick the wrong person this time. You are more sensible than that girl.”

“Or, because you also have a secret, you two agreed not to interfere with each other?”

Xia Yu couldn’t help shaking her body. After talking for a long time, he finally got to that thing again. “What did you say?”

Shen Chengyang sneered. “My brother has a lot of secrets, and you really don’t want to know at all? Don’t you want to know who his favorite person is? Don’t you want to know what he is doing?”

It was like a guide from an evil spirit. Xia Yu slowly looked up. “What?”

“You cannot find it out yourself?” As he said, Shen Chengyang passed by in front of her with a smile.

The water in Xia Yu’s hands had dried up slowly, leaving only coldness in her hands. She must support the table with her hands to ensure that she did not slide down. Seeing that the figure in front of her was about to disappear, she finally summoned up the courage to shout.

“Why would you tell me this?”

Shen Chengyang stopped and turned around slightly. “Nothing. I just can’t get used to his arrogance!”

He couldn’t get used to his arrogance? How straightforward he was! Xia Yu exhaled and reflected on Shen Chengyang’s words. There was another woman who Shen Yan had a great affection for.

What was more, there were many things that Shen Yan hid from herself, and those things could not be seen or known by others.

He told this to Xia Yu, naturally not for Xia Yu’s sake, but trying to persuade Xia Yu to leave Shen Yan. It would be better to harm Shen Yan again to get him undermined badly.

Xia Yu understood the rational aspect! If she was just a think tank of Shen Yan, this would not be a problem at all. Shen Yan’s private affairs should not be her concern. What he did beyond the boundary, as long as he did not break the law, were not problems at all.

The point was that he was now Xia Yu’s boyfriend. First of all, if he really had another woman, Xia Yu could absolutely not tolerate it. After all, Xia Yu was also a woman. But she did not fully believe that Shen Yan really had a beloved woman.

But if he really had one, what should she do? Should she strive to grab him back on the basis of reason or withdraw from them?

Thinking of this, Xia Yu was startled by her own thoughts.

“Xia Yu, what are you doing here?” Kang Lan was standing beside Xia Yu for a while, seeing that she didn’t respond at all and shaking her hand before her eyes.

How could it be this woman again? Xia Yu did not bother to pay attention to her. “It has nothing to do with Mrs. Chen, doesn’t it?”

“Yes, it has nothing to do with me indeed, but I’m very curious.” Kang Lan seemed to be in a good mood, carefully looking at Xia Yu. “You are really a master. How did you hide it from Young Master Yan that you have such an old child?”

“Young Master Yan looks very savvy, who is known as a little fox. You could hide it even from him. Xia Yu, I really looked down on you before.” Kang Lan looked at Xia Yu with admiration, even with a bit of worship.

Sure enough, the dog could not vomit ivory. Xia Yu was in such a bad mood now. If Kang Lan was not pregnant, she would have slapped her in the face already, but now she could only bear it even if she was very angry.

After comforting herself secretly and constantly several times, Xia Yu smiled brilliantly and said, “You guess!”
