Chapter 319 They Are All Mad

"Do you think Shen Yan will believe it?" Xia Yu asked with anger.

But her brain was running fast as well. Whoever set her up took great care in arranging such an ingenious trap. They must have been veteran scammers. But did they simply want the money?

"Even if he doesn't believe it, how about his mother? How about the media? They will be very interested in this." The other party apparently had expected that Xia Yu would say so, and he blocked her way out directly, which forced her not to have any wishful thinking.

In the end, that person even laughed twice on the phone, as if he was ridiculing the stupidity of Xia Yu.

This was a typical rogue behavior. Xia Yu staggered and took one step back. Her legs turned to jelly, and she sat heavily down on the ground. Her heart was bursting with coldness, and her hands were shaking. She redialed the person who blackmailed her, but there was only a message saying "This number is not valid.

"Ah..." Xia Yu shouted out of anger and slammed the phone to the ground. She curled up on the ground while hugging her head. And she felt that she had fallen into an endless abyss with helplessness and panic rushing to her heart like a tide.

Not to mention that Xia Yu had no money, even if she had 500,000 yuan, she would not remit the money to them. Just like the incident of Li Feiran, it would only encourage the arrogance of those people.

But if these photos were exposed, it was certain that Xia Yu’s reputation would be tarnished. She was just an ordinary person. However, the biggest impact would fall on Shen Yan. Considering his current situation, wasn't it going to add an insult to an injury?

Xia Yu hesitated for a long time and finally decided to call Shen Yan. She could not hide the truth from him. At least, it would help him be prepared. Her mobile phone was slammed to pieces, so she had to use the landline at home. However, she didn't expect his mobile phone to be turned off. She called several times in a row, but Shen Yan's phone still remained off.

"Why do you turn off your phone at this time?" Xia Yu held the microphone and whispered helplessly.

But she should let him know this matter. She was afraid that a group of reporters would suddenly rush into the venue where Shen Yan was attending an event. And they held microphones to him and said. "Young Master Yan, what do you think of your girlfriend's having the affair?"

It was another matter whether Shen Yan believed her innocence or not. But how could he handle that under such a situation?

Xia Yu gave Shen Yan a call every few minutes. But every time the same dial tone would come out from the phone and it repeated. "The number you dialed is turned off..." Xia Yu’s heart sank to the bottom again and again.

He must be busy. Xia Yu put down the phone powerlessly. She sat on the sofa and lightly pounded her head with her hand.

Who took the photos on earth? Was it a pure act of blackmail? If this was the case, she could only hope that those people just wanted to blackmail her for money and had no other objectives. Xia Yu’s head was going to explode.

Xia Yu spent a restlessness night waiting, and Shen Yan still didn't come back. Fortunately, she met him in the office when she went to work the next day.

He came back to assign tasks to others, and he left immediately after he finished it. When he saw Xia Yu, he said to her, "Your timing is just right. You preside over the meeting on behalf of me today."

Xia Yu wanted to tell him that she had been blackmailed. So, she pulled him into her office and told him the cause of the incident. "It is all my fault. I was so stupid that I was actually fooled by them."

Did they aim at Xia Yu finally? The thing which Shen Yan worried most finally happened. He gently hugged Xia Yu and comforted her. "How can I blame you? Those people are too contemptible. Don't worry. You have me to cope with everything. How about this? I will not leave until after the meeting."

Xia Yu must be in a bad mood now. If Shen Yan handed her such a heavy task, he was afraid that she couldn't handle it.

"I am fine. I am worried that they will make a fuss about this matter, and it will not be good for you." Xia Yu herself was fine. Her mantra was that a clean hand needed no washing.

"Are you really okay?" Shen Yan was a little hesitant.

"It's okay. I haven't done anything. What am I afraid of?" Xia Yu smiled and said. "You just go ahead with your stuff. I tell you about this just because I want you to be prepared."

Shen Yan nodded. "OK, don't worry about the media. There will not be any problem. If the person calls you again, ignore him!"

"I know!" Xia Yu said.

She had thought of calling the police, but that person was very cautious and used a voice changer. Even if she recorded the conversation, it would be useless since the phone number was invalid. Basically, the other party did not leave any evidence. Therefore, the only thing that she could do was to ignore him.

Shen Yan was really busy. He hugged her for a while and kissed her on the forehead before leaving.

Xia Yu took a few deep breaths and picked up the documents, walking to the meeting room. Shen Yan and Liu Sijie were not there, so she had to handle everything in the company, big and small. She had been busy for the whole day.

In the evening, she dragged her tired body home. Aunt Ma asked her if she had eaten dinner, and Xia Yu replied that she had eaten already before letting Aunt Ma return to her room for rest. As for Xia Yu, she sat down on the sofa, trying to catch her breath first.

Aunt Ma saw Xia Yu was fine and then washed some fruit for her before returning to her room. Xia Yu looked at the fruit and picked up a grape.

Before she could send a grape to her mouth, a knocking at the door suddenly came from outside. She got up from the sofa and then went to the door. From the safety window, she saw that Second Madame was standing outside. Xia Yu's heart was shocked. Why did she come here? Did something happen again?

Xia Yu opened the door, and Second Madame looked at Xia Yu coldly. She then walked inside and asked. "Where is Little Yan?"

"He has to handle some business. He and Liu Sijie probably won't be back tonight." Xia Yu took a tissue and wiped her hand.

Second Madame said "hum" in a faint tone before sitting on the sofa. Her eyes took a cold glance at Xia Yu and sent out a deep disgust. "Don't you feel ashamed? You have already degraded him by your social status. And you still have incautiously done those shameless things. This time, don't dream to marry into a rich and powerful family even if my son pleads for you. Unless I die, I will never let you marry into my family."

Xia Yu just poured a glass of water for Second Madame and wanted to ask the purpose of her visit. As Second Madame said this, Xia Yu’s hand which was holding the cup started to tremble. Now she realized why no one called her after she failed to remit the money. They went to Second Madame.

Xia Yu put the water glass in front of Second Madame before saying in a faint tone. "Auntie, drink some water."

"My son once vowed that you were sincere to him. I reluctantly agreed with your relationship for his sake. Now that you have done something like this, there is no need for me to drive you away, right? You will be too brazen to stay here." Second Madame threw a stack of photos on the coffee table before taking out the phone. There were a lot more photos inside her phone.

When the maid gave her the photos this afternoon, First Madame was extremely complacent aside like a smug. Especially what she said was ugly, which was a clear taunt. "Oops! Marrying someone from a normal family is reliable because she is pure."

Xia Yu hadn't been married to Shen Yan yet, but she had cuckolded him already.

Second Madame was so angry almost to faint on the spot, but First Madame didn't want to let this go and she continued to say. "Don't pretend to be dead. I didn't touch you. These people were all found by your son. They all saw that I was far from you."

She put up with it and came over with a bad grace to look for Xia Yu and Shen Yan after having been lying in the bed for a few hours. This time, she was determined to separate them in any case.

"I know that you have done a lot of things for my son. If you can't marry into a rich and powerful family, your efforts will be in vain finally. I am not a mean person after all, so I will give you some money. You are also a smart person, and you should know which choice is better for you." Second Madame was also tired and didn't want to argue with Xia Yu.

But after Xia Yu listened to her words, she felt that she had been beaten on her head with one blow. Was she such a despicable person in Second Madame's eyes? She took a few steps back.

Seeing that Xia Yu kept silent, the Second Madame's delicate eyebrows frowned again, and her tone became cold again. "I am trying to be kind of you. If my son knows it, you should know what will happen. Take the money and leave. Otherwise, everything will be in vain and you'll have nothing. If you leave now, you can get a large sum of money at least."

"Auntie, I will not leave Shen Yan. This is a trap. Their purpose is to disturb Shan Yan's mind, which keeps him from working." The Second Madame had never wanted Xia Yu to be with Shen Yan. Now she naturally wouldn’t think calmly at the presence of this evidence. Xia Yu suppressed her displeasure to explain it.

"I don't understand these messy things you are talking about. Even if that's the case, it is you who have made the mistake first." The Second Madame didn't want to listen to her explanation. "I tell you. Don't be an ungrateful wretch. Believe it or not, if I tell my son now, you won't get a penny and still have to leave."

Xia Yu pursed her lips and said, "Auntie, to tell you the truth, he has already known it."

"What do you mean?" The Second Madame stared at Xia Yu.

Xia Yu walked over to take the Second Madame's hand and pulled her to the window. She pointed at the pavilion not far away and said, "The man on the photo is Feng Tianliang. Of course, this is the name which he told me. I don't know if it is his real name. I was doing grocery shopping at the supermarket that day, and someone stole my wallet. It was this person named Feng Tianliang who helped me find it back. At that time, I thought he was kind. And I also found out that he also lived in this community, so I treated him a meal. Two days later, he called me to this pavilion and said that he had something to tell me. It was unknown that he embraced me and kissed me. Now, do you understand what has happened?"

The background of the photo was indeed this pavilion. And the Second Madame was not a muddleheaded person. She knew that even if Xia Yu cheated on Shen Yan, she would not do this in front of their home. Even if Shen Yan didn't see it, the maids and the neighbors could see.

"What you are talking about may be true, but you may still be in a secret relationship with that person." The Second Madame was not as sure and justified as she was just now.

"Auntie, you are a smart person. Now even Liu Sijie has an affair. How can I be left alone as Shen Yan's girlfriend?" Xia Yu sighed.

Before she had been wondering whether this incident was related to Shen Mo as he just hinted that he would not make an issue of her again. Now she was 80% certain that it must be related to him.

"What did Shen Yan say?" The Second Madame also saw the news online, and she was very angry that they slandered Liu Sijie in that way. She no longer insisted that Xia Yu had a relationship with that person.

"He is very busy now. But he said that we could rest assured and that he would deal with it." Xia Yu told the Second Madame what Shen Yan told her in the morning.

"Mad! They are all mad!" The Second Madame snorted coldly before picking up her purse and leaving with anger.

Once she left, Xia Yu exhaled a long breath. Now everything was clear finally. She no longer felt that she was being blindfolded by someone and couldn't see anything.

Xia Yu took out her mobile phone and sent a message to Shen Yan. She told him about the Second Madame's visit because she was worried that the Second Madame would start a quarrel with the First Madame again after arriving at home.

After all, it was only her guess that Shen Mo set up a trap. And there was no evidence to prove it.

Shen Yan quickly replied to her message to let her rest assured and promised that nothing would happen at home.

Seeing Shen Yan's reply, Xia Yu was relieved and collapsed into the sofa.
