The car headed straight for the parking lot of CK Group. All the reporters looked over when they saw a car passing, but upon realizing that it was neither Lu Jingchen’s Maybach nor the Bentley Mulsanne, they imdiately turned their attention back towards the company’s main gate and the roadside, trying to spot Lu Jingchen’s car.
Little did they know, his car had already driven directly into the parking lot of CK Group. Who would have thought that the distinguished CEO of CK Group would be driving a Volkswagen worth barely a hundred thousand yuan?
Assistant Xue had already been waiting in the parking lot. As soon as Lu Jingchen’s car stopped, Assistant Xue, seeing the Volkswagen parked in their boss’s exclusive spot, couldn’t help but slightly frown. He was about to go over and ask the person to move the car when he saw the driver’s door open, and Lu Jingchen stepped out directly.
Assistant Xue stumbled, almost falling over, but fortunately, he stood up straight when his boss gave him a look.
Assistant Xue felt that his view of the boss’s world had been refreshed—his boss was actually driving a Volkswagen worth only tens of thousands...
No wonder those reporters had failed to notice him.
After getting out of the car, Lu Jingchen imdiately locked the doors. With his long legs cloaked in a suit, he walked directly towards Assistant Xue and blandly asked, "How has the situation developed so far?"
Assistant Xue quickly suppressed the shock he had just experienced, hurriedly caught up with Lu Jingchen, and explained in his ear, "Now you and... the news about the President’s wife has already made headlines in major newspapers, even trending topics on Weibo search. I have contacted the PR departnt many tis, but due to the massive impact, it’s impossible to deal with it all at once..."
Pausing for a mont, Assistant Xue continued, "Also, compared to our company, the studio where the President’s wife works at has been uniquely besieged. This morning, Mr. Lin Musen received many calls demanding that the President’s wife be fired..."
Lu Jingchen’s steps halted, his handso face turning sowhat grim as he commanded, "Notify the PR departnt imdiately, and hold a press conference in the afternoon."
The matter had already escalated to this point, and he had to personally handle it regardless of the reasons.
Assistant Xue acknowledged; he had also attended the wedding yesterday. To be accurate, all the employees of CK Group had attended. He had witnessed everything that happened at the wedding.
Everyone was surprised that the events turned out to be so...eye-opening, and it was revealed that the President’s wife’s parents had killed the president’s foster parents...
The key thing was that it was the first ti everyone learned that their president had foster parents...
There was simply too much revealed at one wedding for everyone to easily accept.
Latter, despite many upheavals, Lu Jingchen still put a ring on the President’s wife’s finger, which made everyone believe in love once again.
The employees of CK Group did not treat Lu Jingchen like so male god like outsiders did, because at CK Group, everyone knew Lu Jingchen was a person who distinguished between public and private matters, and they had previously seen Lu Jingchen and Song Qiao’s affection. Song Qiao had visited CK Group a few tis, leaving a good impression, so they had already beco fans of the President and the President’s wife pairing long ago.
Unlike those won outside, each one desiring to forge just a little connection with their president, they actually hoped the President and the President’s wife could stay together forever.
After all, at the wedding, although at first, they also had a hard ti accepting the truths revealed by Murong Rui, there were so more rational people who imdiately understood that even if that was true, Song Qiao was innocent. After all, it wasn’t Song Qiao who had hard Murong Rui’s parents, nor had she been involved.
And at the scene, so sharp-eyed people noticed that Murong Rui’s gaze towards their president was very different, filled with love.
There were so who liked to watch palace dramas and read novels who imdiately ca up with so very bold speculations.
Then, in no ti, the speculation spread widely and everyone was aware of the underlying sches.
Yesterday at the wedding, when Assistant Xue heard the various gossiping discussions among his colleagues around him, he couldn’t help but twitch his lips, but he did not join the conversation. Instead, so employees ca to ask him about Lu Jingchen and Song Qiao, and he skillfully dodged the questions.
Assistant Xue was quite satisfied with Song Qiao, the President’s wife. After all, although Song Qiao had married into their president’s prestigious life, she had never used her status for anything inappropriate, nor did she show an attitude of superiority.
Moreover, Assistant Xue knew that the marital relationship between the President and the President’s wife had not been revealed, entirely at the request of the President’s wife.
...
Song Qiao did not leave Mu Mansion nor did she use her mobile phone, as if she had fled the city altogether.
It was not until the next day that Song Xi personally ca to visit.
In the living room, Elder Mu was trimming flowers on the side, and although his attitude towards Song Xi wasn’t extrely hostile, it was neither warm nor welcoming.
Song Qiao ca downstairs; her complexion was fairly good. Seeing her grandfather’s lukewarm attitude and Song Xi’s restrained deanor, she knew that it would take so ti for her grandfather to accept Song Xi, especially since Song Xi’s mother had indirectly caused the death of her own mother.
After instructing Aunt Zhang to bring a glass of lemonade for Song Xi, Song Qiao headed straight to the sofa.
From the mont she entered the door and saw Elder Mu’s indifferent behavior, Song Xi was noticeably tense, even her movents on the sofa were exceedingly cautious, as if afraid of making a mistake.
Upon seeing Song Qiao coming down, she seed to breathe a sigh of relief and called out, "Sis."
Elder Mu turned around and gave her a deep look upon hearing this address.
The words Song Xi was about to say were suddenly choked back, and she could not utter a sound.
Elder Mu’s gaze... was really frightening.
Song Qiao humd in acknowledgnt, sat opposite Song Xi, and as Aunt Zhang brought over a glass of lemonade and a cup of milk, placing them in front of Song Xi and Song Qiao respectively. Song Qiao took a sip of the milk, wrinkled her brow slightly indicating her dislike for milk, but swallowed it nonetheless before asking Song Xi, "Why have you co?"
Song Xi glanced at Elder Mu who had turned back to his gardening, moved her lips but didn’t speak a word, clearly still wary of the elder.
Song Qiao noticed her apprehension and said, "Grandfather has no ill intentions, don’t be afraid of him. You can actually call him grandfather too." Turning to Elder Mu, she raised her voice, "Isn’t that right, Grandfather?"
Elder Mu’s body stiffened, his scissors pausing in mid-trim, he turned his head to glance at the sisters sitting on the sofa, then huffed and continued his gardening.
Song Xi also noticed Elder Mu’s petulant behavior and gradually felt more relaxed, not as tense as before. However, she did not imdiately call Elder Mu ’grandfather’ but smiled at Song Qiao and then spoke, "Sis, haven’t you been watching the news lately?"
Song Qiao paused in her milk drinking, her gaze landing on Song Xi, and after a mont’s hesitation, she nodded and humd, "What happened?"
Upon hearing her response, Song Xi realized she indeed hadn’t seen it, but continued to inquire, "Well... do you know that your brother-in-law held a press conference yesterday afternoon?"
At these words, Song Qiao’s heart instantly sank. Everything that transpired at the wedding, she suspected would forever haunt her mind. Everyone says that a bride’s happiest mont is at her wedding, but for her, it seed like a nightmare instead.
These past few days, Lu Jingchen hadn’t co to see her. She didn’t know how Lu Jingchen had dealt with the situation, nor what he intended regarding their relationship. So upon hearing Song Xi’s words, she slightly furrowed her brows, and shook her head, "I haven’t seen it."
Song Xi knew her guess was correct and imdiately took out the iPad she carried with her, logging into Weibo. As soon as she entered Weibo, she heard the incessant notification dings, looking at the ssages, there were countless, unknown how many since the exposure of those incidents at the wedding. Both her parents and she herself had been targeted by righteous crusaders, so even reaching their ho, but luckily the security in the villa area was good, preventing their entry.
Her Weibo looked like it was about to explode with countless private ssages and comnts under her posts, all berating her family and herself, including Song Qiao.
The video of Lu Jingchen’s interview at the press conference had also been uploaded to Weibo, thus it was imdiately visible upon logging into Weibo.
Just as Song Xi was about to hand the iPad to Song Qiao for her to take a look, Aunt Chen hurriedly entered from outside, "Miss, Master, a girl claiming to be Murong Rui has broken in with a few bodyguards."
Both Song Xi and Song Qiao’s expressions changed, and even Elder Mu’s expression shifted slightly. Elder Mu had long known that the person who exposed those incidents at the wedding was Murong Rui. Although not familiar with who this girl was, he had heard of her nonetheless.
Regarding the person who tarnished his granddaughter’s and daughter’s reputations, he harbored deep-seated dislike.
He was even more convinced that his own daughter would never commit a deed that caused soone else’s death, for his daughter was such a kind person that she wouldn’t even harm a fish in ordinary tis.
