Chapter 355 Appear in the Gossip News

Fang Feifei was directly stunned by what Shen Yan said. How could he ask in such a way? If Young Master Du refused bluntly, she would be very embarrassed.

However, it turned out that her worry was ungrounded. Young Master Du answered without hesitation, “OK. Where are you now? I’ll come and find you right now.”

Shen Yan had a look at his whereabouts and then sent his location information to Young Master Du.

It seemed that Young Master Du was nearby because he drove to them in ten minutes. Seeing Shen Yan and the other people standing on one side of the road, he waved to greet them and ran over in a hurry.

“I’m Du Zishu. Fancy meeting you all.” After shaking hands with Shen Yan, Young Master Du continued to greet others.

Fang Feifei greeted Young Master Du only by a nod. She felt so embarrassed that she wanted to slip away with an excuse.

Cai Yanyan drew her aside. “Feifei, I must remind you that if you don’t take your opportunity in front of such a handsome man, I’ll take the initiative.”

“Did I get in your way?” Fang Feifei was annoyed, and she said.

“Are you serious?” Cai Yanyan rolled up her sleeves, pretending to try to court the man as long as Feifei gave a nod.

At that moment, Xia Yu came over and winked at Fang Feifei. Then she said to Cai Yanyan, “Stop teasing her. Look at how shy she was! If you keep saying, she will sneak away.”

Cai Yanyan burst into laughter because she came to realize that Fang Feifei’s cheeks were very red just like an apple. If she sneaked away, it would be meaningless to ask Young Master Du to come here.

“Since Director Shen will pay the bill today, let’s make ourselves at home. I happen to know a top Franch restaurant. Shall we have a try?” Cai Yanyan changed the topic.

“Yes! That’s great!” Li Feiran immediately turned around and answered with excitement.

“Then let Cai Yanyan lead the way!” Shen Yan said with the corners of his mouth upward and went to take Xia Yu’s hand.

Cai Yanyan took them to a Franch restaurant which had an elegant environment though it was very expensive. However, rich people like Shen Yan didn’t care about the price of a meal.

Everyone got along well with each other, so the atmosphere was delightful during the meal. They were so absorbed that they even didn’t notice an acquaintance pass by.

The acquaintance was none other than Li Wen and his father.

“Dad, you did not use to believe my words when I said they plotted to play tricks on me together. Will you believe me now?” Li Wen said with discontent while casting a look at them several times.

Especially when he saw that Xia Yu looked into Shen Yan’s eyes with affection, he inclined to dig out their eyes to vent his anger.

“Anyway, you shouldn’t have molested the girlfriend of another man.” President Li also felt angry in his heart, especially for he was turned down by Xia Yu.

Her refusal seemed to make Li Group inferior to Shen Group, which provoked him and made him discontent.

“Father, he is hardly sure about the number of his girlfriends since he has so many girlfriends. Has he ever been serious to them? He is determined to find faults with me.” Hearing the word ‘girlfriend’, Li Wen was ignited in his heart. Xia Yu was so blind. Why should she choose Shen Yan instead of him?

President Li found that his son’s words sounded plausible, but he couldn’t say anything to support him. After all, it was his son who caused the trouble first. So, he just snorted and kept walking forward.

Though Li Wen was annoyed in his heart, he didn’t dare to make a fuss in front of his father. However, the gay expression of Xia Yu and Shen Yan was deeply imprinted in his memory, which deepened his hatred for them.

As for Xia Yu and her companions, they opened two bottles of red wine. Though Xia Yu was not good at drinking, she drank a glass of wine since she was in a good mood. Li Feiran was drunk at last while Fang Feifei was urged to drink two glasses of wine though she was not good at drinking as well.

She was fearless for there was someone who could take care of her.

After the meal, Li Feiran left with Cai Yanyan while Lv Wushuang left with her lover, the interpreter. Shen Yan was with Xia Yu. When he saw Young Master Du was shy with Fang Feifei, he said directly, “Fang Feifei is a little drunk. You just send her back”.

“Director Shen, thanks for your treat today.” He was fully content with Shen Yan’s arrangement.

He had an affection for Fang Feifei for so many years. After he failed to express his love for her last time, he still planned to have another try. However, he didn’t dare to say it out because he was afraid that he would be turned down again and Fang Feifei might have been in a relationship with someone else.

However, Shen Yan’s call did him a big favor, which at least helped him confirm that Fang Feifei still remained single.

“Du Zishu, it was Young Master Yan who made the phone call.” When the two people were left alone, Fang Feifei thought that it was necessary for her to make an explanation to Young Master Du.

Young Master Du smiled and said, “I know. And I’m willing to come here.”

What did he mean? Fang Feifei was stunned. She felt that she forgot to bring her brain with her tonight because she was absent-minded.

Luckily, Young Master Du didn’t continue the topic. Seeing that her seat belt was untied, he thoughtfully helped her fasten it before he started the car. According to Fang Feifei’s will, she had just wanted to let him drive her to the gate of the community. But it started to rain when they got there. Since Young Master Du had no umbrella in his car and there was still a distance away from Fang Feifei’s home, Young Master Du wanted to drive into the community in case she might get a cold in the rain.

After all, it was late autumn. It was usually cold at night, especially a rainy night.

Fang Feifei didn’t want to keep declining his kindness impolitely. In this case, Young Master Du drove her to the gate of her house, and a maid happened to come out. Seeing Fang Feifei get out of the car, she said, “Eldest Miss, you’re back.”

Hearing the sound outside, Fang Feifei’s mother came out as well. When she saw Du Zishu send her daughter back, she couldn’t help laughing and insisted on inviting him in, which made Fang Feifei feel speechless. But she could just let it be.

After parking the car, Shen Yan held Xia Yu’s hand tightly and walked together to their home, seeing that the rain was not heavy. It was late at night, and there were only two of them on the road. The surrounding was very quiet.

They didn’t walk fast. Though the wind and rain were chilly, they felt warm in their hearts. Xia Yu looked up at Shen Yan on the side, whose face appeared to be enchanting under the dim yellow light of the streetlamp. There seemed to be a kind of hazy feeling on his face. At that moment, he also turned his head to look at Xia Yu, with his gentle eyes and the corners of his mouth upward.

At this moment, Xia Yu’s heart was beating so madly for this man in front of her was simply so handsome.

He stopped walking and caressed Xia Yu’s cheek with the other hand. His hand was so warm that she rubbed it by her cheek, not wanting to let it go so fast.

He smiled gently, with his eyebrows in a curve. Then he leaned to get close to Xia Yu. His warm and supple lips fell on her forehead…

In the early morning of the next day, Xia Yu received a call from Cai Yanyan, which astonished her. She was wondering why Cai Yanyan would call her so early and whether there was anything wrong which happened in the company.

“Xia Yu, bad news! You appear in the gossip news.” It turned out that Xia Yu had a wrong guess. Something wrong did happen, not about the company but her private life. Cai Yanyan said with anxiety on the phone.

“What? What did it say?”

Xia Yu uttered with astonishment in a loud voice, which also surprised Shen Yan who walked out from the bathroom and looked at her with worry.

“It says some unkind words, claiming that you are a money girl. And you had been with your ex-boyfriend for five years and once had an abortion. Later, you dumped your ex-boyfriend callously because you met Young Master Yan. It also said some other things, evil and dirty. What’s worse, it also posted your photo.” Cai Yanyan was so annoyed that her voice was trembling.

“Send the URL link to me.” Xia Yu’s heart sank after she heard what Cai Yanyan said.

“OK. I’ll send it to you now.” Cai Yanyan hung up and sent it to Xia Yu after a while.

Upon clicking the URL link, an eye-catching title appeared. “The girlfriend of a rich second generation in S city is a money girl”, with a photo of Xia Yu attached below, which was shot secretly. Everyone who was familiar with her could recognize that this side face belonged to her.

The words below were indeed nasty. It said that she once had an abortion and forced her ex-boyfriend to break up with her in order to be with Shen Yan. It also said that she even asked some hooligans to beat her ex-boyfriend badly. This passage deliberately smeared Xia Yu’s reputation, portraying her as a home-wrecker who seduced Shen Yan when he had a girlfriend. Besides, it said that though Xia Yu looked innocent, she was a money girl in nature.

Shen Yan’s name didn’t appear in the news. It only mentioned a rich second generation whose surname was Shen, but in fact, what remained unsaid was explicit. Shen Family was very famous in S city, and Shen Yan was also a celebrity. The whole report made no comment on Shen Yan but smeared Xia Yu harshly.

The more she read, the more unbearable the contents were. Xia Yu was even shivering with anger.

She glanced at the time of the report. It was uploaded in the small hours, but there were already many comments below.

“Frankly speaking, this woman is not so beautiful and has an abortion. Does the rich guy get bored with beauties? So, he wants to try some new types?”

“How can this kind of woman hook up with a second rich generation? She’s pulling her luck.”

“A woman’s heart decides what she looks like. She is a siren at first sight.”

…

Most of the comments were criticism about Xia Yu. When she was going to keep reading, her phone was taken away.

As time passed by, Shen Yan’s face looked gloomier, and his eyes looked deep as if there was an ongoing storm.

“Leave it to me. Don’t worry.” Shen Yan gave the phone back to her after he read the news. He reached out his hand to touch her head and said in a deep voice.

Xia Yu agreed. She was thinking who would do this to her, and she found that quite a lot of people could be suspected. Perhaps, it was Shen Family who did it deliberately because they didn’t want her to be with Shen Yan. Perhaps, it was Shen Yan’s ex-girlfriend who resented his affection for Xia Yu. Perhaps, it was Li Wen. It was hard to tell now.

Xia Yu shook her head, not wanting to be harassed anymore. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. So, she went into the bathroom and began brushing her teeth as well as washing her face. When she came out, she found Shen Yan making a call on the balcony. It was sure that he was sending someone to investigate it.

After she went to the company, Cai Yanyan found an excuse to come to her office. She looked at Xia Yu worriedly. “Are you OK?”

Xia Yu smiled. “Yeah, I’m fine. I’m OK.”

It was true that she was angry and sad in the beginning when she read the news, but she was much calmer now. Since the fact was untrue, she thought that she didn’t need to get angry at it. A clean hand needed no washing. As long as Shen Yan trusted her, she could bear the rebuke and smear online.

“Good.”

Seeing that Xia Yu was fine, Cai Yanyan felt assured.

Shortly after she started her computer to work, she received a couple of messages from Fang Feifei, Li Feiran, and other colleagues. These messages were all comforting words, and she texted back with gratitude one by one.

She was very moved in her mind because there were so many people who supported her.

Lv Wushuang also called her. “Xia Yu, I am so mad at the nasty anonymous person who smeared you in the report that I just cursed in the comments. ‘Shit ! You are a nasty person!’”

Lv Wushuang’s angry voice was transmitted into her ears from the mobile phone as soon as she answered the phone. She could understand Lv Wushuang’s anger, and that was why Lv Wushuang said dirty words.

“I’ve read it. You should take care of yourself. Don’t be so angry, Wushuang.” Reversely, Xia Yu began comforting Lv Wushuang who was more tempersome and would be angrier than Xia Yu when encountering this accident.

“Xia Yu, I have made a guess about this matter, and I think it must be Zeng Mina or Yang Ke’er, not anyone else.”

Zeng Mina resented Xia Yu for she was Wu Shiyu’s cousin. Yang Ke’er resented Xia Yu for she took Shen Yan away from her. So, the two women were more suspicious. But Lv Wushuang didn’t know that Xia Yu had something on Zeng Mina. As soon as Xia Yu publicized it, even Zeng Family would be influenced badly, let alone Zeng Mina. Otherwise, Zeng Mina couldn’t take the initiative to make peace with Xia Yu after Xia Yu was admitted by Shen Family.
