Chapter 356 - Rumor Was Everywhere

It was even less possible for Yang Ke’er. She was now passionately in love with Zhang Peng, and the two people were as sweet as honey. She wouldn’t have the leisure to bring shame on Xia Yu.

After thinking about it, Xia Yu said, “Shen Yan is on this now. I think it will be solved soon.”

“That will be great.” They talked a little more before Lv Wushuang hung up. It was during business hours now, and she should be busy at work.

Xia Yu put down the phone and looked at Shen Yan. He still looked bad, and his lips were tightly pressed together.

After the morning passed, they were having lunch in the restaurant on the third floor at noon. More people were eyeing Xia Yu now. Not everyone supported her like Cai Yanyan and Fang Feifei. Scornfulness emanated from those eyes.

One couldn’t blame them. Shen Yan was the male god in everyone’s heart. They felt Shen Yan was wronged by being with Xia Yu. Now, Xia Yu acted in such a disdainful way. How could she be worthy of the male god in everyone’s heart?

However, Xia Yu was quite philosophical about this. She finished lunch without much change in her facial expression before going upstairs with Cai Yanyan. Shen Yan said that he was going to meet someone, so he didn’t have lunch with Xia Yu at noon.

When it was time to go to work in the afternoon, Shen Yan had still not come back. At this time, Cai Yanyan suddenly pushed the door open and came in. She excitedly shook the phone to Xia Yu. “Xia Yu, the article that discredited you has been deleted.”

Shen Yan didn’t come back to have lunch. He probably went out to solve this issue. That was great. Xia Yu also exhaled a long breath.

But she still thought too little of it. Although the article was deleted, Old Madame was startled already. She gave Shen Yan a call and asked him to go back immediately. Then she was almost roaring at Shen Yan in front of everyone.

“I didn’t stop you when you wanted to be in a relationship with Xia Yu. But you need to know what shame is. If you don’t want to keep the face anymore, everyone here still wants to keep it.”

“How are we shameless? You know clearly who Xia Yu’s ex-boyfriend is. Let’s not talk about anything else. Don’t you know who was once dumped?” He said with much anger. They were supposed to be a family. And when others discredited Xia Yu, they not only offered no console, but also added insult to injury here like others.

“You… Okay! Even if Chen Wenxuan was the one who dumped Xia Yu, she had been in a relationship with Chen Wenxuan for 5 years. Little Yan, I’m not trying to scold you. Let’s not comment on her family background for now, but you have to be with a girl of an acceptable background. She just did an induced abortion for a child who she had with another man. Are you still going to marry her into our family?” Old Madame held her chest with one hand while holding a cane with the other hand.

The child had been always laughing in front of her since his childhood. He was everyone’s joy. Whenever she had any trouble, she felt fine as soon as she saw him. Since when did this child become someone like an enemy who would start to argue with her every time they met?

“It’s impossible. I know my woman well. It’s not possible that she once did an abortion for a child who she had with another man. Someone must be framing her again.” This kind of fabricated rumor out of nowhere irritated Shen Yan the most. This kind of action was without morality.

If he got to know the person behind all this, he would not let him off the hook.

“Are you still protecting her now? Framing? Who has the time to frame her? How come no one frames your older brother?” Seeing that Shen Yan was protecting Xia Yu, Old Madame was really sad. She asked Second Madame after moaning and groaning for a long time. “You are his mom. You just tell me how to deal with this.”

“Mom, it’s not like you don’t know this. Didn’t someone frame Xia Yu like this not long ago? Considering this matter, I think someone must be framing Xia Yu again.” Second Madame also didn’t believe that Xia Yu was the kind of person described on the Internet. Otherwise, why didn’t she have any scandal when living under the same roof as Shen Yan?

“So, do you choose to believe in Xia Yu? Well, you have to come up with some evidence to clarify.” Since his mother didn’t say anything, what could she say as a grandmother? She was probably being nosy. But after all, she was the head of Shen family, so she had to ask them to find a way to recover from this incident since it had seriously compromised Shen Family’s reputation.

“Grandma, please rest assured. I will definitely find the person who caused us trouble by spreading rumors. I will return justice to Xia Yu.” Even if Old Madame didn’t say that, Shen Yan would still get to the bottom of this.

This kid only had Xia Yu in his mind and wanted justice for her. Why didn’t he think about the reputation of Shen Family? Fine, she would let it go. They would definitely have a quarrel again if they continued the conversation.

Old Madame tried very hard to suppress her anger and said, “Just hurry up. We, the people of Shen family, still want face.”

Shen Yan sneered. “Even if it brings shame, it’ll bring shame on me. I am her boyfriend, and it has nothing to do with you, Old Madame.”

She talked about “the face of Shen Family” all the time as if Shen Family had plenty of face left. Why didn’t she think how bad Xia Yu must feel right now as she was discredited by someone?

This kid started to be rude and unreasonable with her grandmother again. In order not to escalate the situation, Shen Mo quickly said, “I think Xia Yu is really not that kind of person. Under this situation, she is the victim. Shen Yan, you are her boyfriend, and you should comfort her. After all, she is different from us. We have never experienced such a thing.”

Finally, there was a reasonable person. Shen Yan said “uh-huh” as an answer.

First Madame on the side twitched her mouth and twisted her head to the side. Even if Xia Yu didn’t do those things described on the Internet, why would someone write stories in this way about her? She must be too unkind as usual when dealing with things. And she had offended many people.

“Little Yan, your older brother is right. Those comments on the Internet have been deleted. As for the person behind all this, you can investigate slowly. But during this time, you have to spend more time with Xia Yu and comfort her. It’s tough for this child. She’s here alone without any family.” Second Madame sighed. Xia Yu was discredited because of her relationship with Shen Yan.

Anyway, it was her son who caused trouble for Xia Yu. And she felt bad about it.

“Ho! Should we have them married soon and bring her parents here then?” Old Madame was really mad at Second Madame. Xia Yu’s abortion matter had not yet been clarified, yet how could she educate her son in this way?

“I think that’s feasible. In a few days, I will go to Xia Yu’s hometown with her and ask her parents for marriage. Isn’t this what you want, Grandma? I don’t think that Grandma will object to this, right?” Shen Yan glanced at Old Madame and said.

“Let’s stop here then. Shen Yan, you should go back and have a look. Give greetings to Xia Yu on behalf of all of us.” Shen Mo took the opportunity and said on the side.

Shen Yan turned around and left without saying anything.

“This child…” Second Madame was so anxious to stop him. She wanted to stop him and let him say goodbye to everyone, at least to Old Madame.

“Second Aunt, he is in a bad mood. It’s not necessary to mind these so-called courtesies.” Shen Mo stopped Second Madame.

He was in a bad mood? They should look at how much trouble he brought to everyone.

Old Madame turned around and walked to her room. She was in a terrible mood indeed.

“Grandma, I can guarantee that someone is discrediting Xia Yu.” Shen Mo came to Grandma’s room. “How about this? I will send someone to check it out. After all, you have agreed to their relationship. Anyway, it’s good for you to express goodwill.”

“You have nothing better to do, right? If someone has to check it out, it should be him.” Old Madame exhaled a long and heavy breath. He was excessively arrogant now, and he probably was ready to ignore his Grandma.

“Didn’t he say that he wanted to go to Xia Yu’s home? I know Xia Yu’s temper. Before someone gets to the bottoms of this, she won’t take Shen Yan back. I’m trying to save some time here.” Shen Mo’s eyes which looked like those of an eagle were narrowed slightly.

His time was extremely valuable. Zeng Ziqiang’s entrance into the board of directors was imminent, but he wouldn’t succeed as long as Shen Yan was present. The only chance left was Shen Yan’s absence.

Old Madame understood it. “Well, who do you think is discrediting Xia Yu?”

“Isn’t this obvious? Li Wen courted Xia Yu without fruit and harbored resentment in his mind.” Shen Mo could think of it without the need to guess. Of course, Shen Yan also thought of it. Otherwise, he would not have tried his utmost to find this guy. But this guy was not stupid. He knew that Shen Yan would not let him go, so he hid long ago.

“It indeed looks like that kid’s act. Well. Help Shen Yan find the person quickly. After he leaves S city, we will hurry to have a board of directors meeting again. This time we must ensure success.” Old Madame was also tired and wanted to finish the battle quickly.

“Well, okay! I will do it right now.” Shen Mo said that before leaving Old Madame’s room.

Not long after that, Zeng Mina called Xia Yu. On the phone, she swore and said, “Xia Yu, I really didn’t do this. If I had such an intention, I would have done it when you were going against me.”

Didn’t you do that at the time? It was just not as sinister as this person’s actions. It was not Zeng Mina anyway, and Xia Yu didn’t want to talk to her more. “I’m not doubting you. You don’t need to be nervous.”

“Did Shen Yan blame you or cold-shoulder you? Although Shen Yan has lived abroad for many years, he is still a very traditional man. If you really aborted a child who you had with Chen Wenxuan, he will still mind it.” This was what Zeng Mina cared about. Shen Yan was cuckold in such a serious way. What kind of expression did he have now? His eyes had probably turned green by now.

Xia Yu appeared to be very serious normally. Zeng Mina did not expect that she was quite open in private.

Xia Yu knew Zeng Mina didn’t have a good intention and directly hung up the phone.

“Hey, Xia Yu, Xia Yu!” She shouted twice, and there was only a beeping voice on the phone. Zeng Mina pushed the phone to the front of Li Tianci and said, “She directly hung up.”

Li Tianci took Zeng Mina in his arms. His lips were pushed straight to her neck. “Does she just wait for you to humiliate her instead of hanging up?”

“That is also true.” Zeng Mina pushed Li Tianci away and stood up. “It seems that I have to go to Shen Family.” How could she miss such a good show?

“You pay lots of attention to others’ affairs. Your brother, I have been held back for so many days. Shouldn’t you give me some comfort?” He didn’t wait for an answer and dragged Zeng Mina back to the bed. He directly pressed her under his body. Soon, the floor was full of clothes.

Shortly after Xia Yu put down her phone on the desk, the phone rang again before her hand could leave the phone. She looked at it, and it was from Yang Ke’er. She picked up. “Xia Yu, what’s going on online?”

Before Xia Yu could start to talk, there was Zhang Peng’s voice which came through the phone. “Do you need to ask about it? It must be Li Wen. That bastard is retaliating after failing to court Sister Xia. Damn it! Where is Young Master Yan? Let him take a few people to the center square and meet me. Let’s go to cripple that bloke.”

Yang Ke’er also echoed on the side.

“Shen Yan is on it. We don’t know who did it now. Please don’t be too impulsive.” Xia Yu was afraid that Zhang Peng would go to Li Wen, so she pretended to be carefree and said, “I have done nothing. I am not afraid of rumors. What can rumors do? I won’t suffer a loss.”

“But he is disgusting.” Zhang Peng was not as magnanimous as Xia Yu and was swearing and cursing on the phone. He called to let her know that he would help Shen Yan find Li Wen and ask her not to worry.

Xia Yu was really touched by the comforts from friends like Zhang Peng. After chatting with them for a while, her mood was much better, and she continued to work.

At a little over four o’clock, Cai Yanyan went to Xia Yu’s office again. She handed over the phone to Xia Yu. “Look! Someone made an apology.” She let Xia Yu read the letter of apology.

Xia Yu read the letter from the beginning to the end in an earnest manner. This apology letter was rather sincere. Shen Yan was fast indeed. He solved this issue so quickly. Corners of Xia Yu’s lips tilted up, and the gloominess in her heart was swept away.
