Chapter 403 - Be Questioned

Seeing that Miss Wu woke up, both Qu Ma and her brother were crying with joy. Her brother was crying all the way. If Miss Wu hadn’t gone to see him, she wouldn’t have encountered such an accident.

“Don’t cry. I am completely fine now, right?” Miss Wu gently stroked the heads of the two children and wiped their tears away.

Xia Yu ate some medicine and quickly went to sleep for a night, feeling much better. When she got up in the morning, she saw that the sky was clear outside, and she herself felt much more vigorous.

After she simply washed her face and rinsed her mouth, she thought of Wu Xiaomin who was rescued yesterday and came to see her. Pushing open the door, she just saw that Wu Xiaomin was wiping off tears for the two children.

This scene was really warm. Xia Yu was spellbound spontaneously.

Qu Ma stood at the opposite of the door. When she saw Xia Yu standing at the door, her face was immediately covered by a layer of surprise. She sweetly screamed, “Beautiful sister!”

When they heard the screaming of Qu Ma, everyone turned the head back.

Jian quickly introduced her to Wu Xiaomin. “This is Xia Yu. Thanks to her warming you up with her own body yesterday. Otherwise, you might not have been able to get out of the mountain.”

Wu Xiaomin was stunned and asked with doubt, “Did not you say that Director Shen saved me?”

“Yeah, Director Shen went along with Miss Xia. I was on another path. The result was that they first found you. At that time, you were frozen and even could not drink any water. It was Miss Xia who fed you mouthful by mouthful.” Jian said, glancing at Xia Yu with great gratitude.

Jian felt that the girl, from the first sight of her, was different from others. He felt that she was here to help everyone with good faith. Why? He did not know. It might just be an instinctive thought.

It was her who did all that for her last night. Wu Xiaomin heaved a long sigh of relief in her mind. Damn Jian! He didn’t explain it clearly so that Wu Xiaomin was scared by him. She had thought it was Shen Yan and did not know how to face him.

“Miss Xia, thank you! Thank you very much!” Wu Xiaomin grabbed Xia Yu’s hand. She was so moved that she even said so incoherently. It was often said that the salvation of a life was like re-creation of it. Her life was saved by Xia Yu. She would never forget the kindness.

“Just call me Xia Yu.” Xia Yu smiled and took Wu Xiaomin’s hand, looking at her carefully. “You have recovered very well.”

Jian rushed to carry Xia Yu a chair. Xia Yu sat down and looked at Qu Ma and her brother in front of her. She waved her hand to the little boy. The boy came over, and she took out a few candies from her pocket, which were given by Qu Ma yesterday. The child just came over before she could go to her house.

“Thank you!” The little boy was a little shy. He held the candies hiding behind his sister and secretly handed over one to his sister.

But his sister refused. She left all the candies to her brother.

Sitting in Wu Xiaomin’s room for a while, Xia Yu came out. Today, they had to make it to the county anyway. Shen Yan had gone out of his mind since Liu Sijie was out of reach all the time.

After rushing to the county, Shen Yan called Liu Sijie as soon as possible and asked him what happened.

Liu Sijie was now in a hurry and roared after opening his mouth, “It is useless for you to call me back now. The donation is simply a trap. Now, the whole S city is scolding you for fishing for fame! People all think that you just want to take the opportunity to improve your image.”

Liu Sijie sent a few videos to Shen Yan, almost all of which were negative. Sitting on the platform, Shen Yan was surrounded by the quilts of the students.

There were also some pictures of the middle-level cadre who went there with Shen Yan and looked at the children with a look of dislike, and the food which the children ate in comparison with that of the people of Shen Group.

Anyway, there was not a single piece of good news. Old Madame was very infuriated.

“I know there would be a mess once Zhang Hanyu came back. I don’t care how he slanders me. A clean hand needs no wash.” Shaking his head, Shen Yan felt it was really a version of the story of Evil for Good.

But who was to blame? The road was chosen by himself, and no one was to blame.

However, Shen Yan thought that his conscience was clear. So, he hung up the phone soon after having exchanged some opinions about their work with Liu Sijie.

After arriving at the county, Xia Yu also saw the news. Picking her iPad up, she went to look for the middle-level cadre who was scolded so badly. But she did not expect that he had disappeared.

It was said that he left because he saw all those negative comments online after asking others. Later, he was fired by Old Madame personally on the phone. He could not stand it and decided to leave.

This time, everyone happened to get in a heavy snow. Even if they did not achieve anything, they tried and worked so hard. Especially those people in the Publicity Department just did the exact same things as they had done ever before.

When they were led by Young Master Yan, it was called fishing for fame, while when it was Young Master Mo, everything would be fine. They could not accept it, but as they were far away from there, they had no means to change that.

“Xia Yu! Does Young Master Yan just bear it?” Of course, some people refused to accept it, so they roared in front of Xia Yu.

With a sigh, Xia Yu said, “Shen Yan will definitely wait for time to prove his innocence. Just forget it. We’re out of luck.”

Xia Yu shook her head. Before it was said that Xia Yu had a bad first impression of Shen Mo because of her cousin. She had been reflecting on that, especially after her cousin found her true love, and now Xia Yu herself was Shen Yan’s girlfriend, so she wanted to get to know him all over again.

But his performance was really disappointing this time. How many problems Shen Yan had solved for him? He took care of all the business later, not to mention that Zhang Hanyu regained his freedom since Shen Yan asked others to do him a favor.

He did so many things not to get Shen Mo’s gratitude, but he couldn’t bite the hand that fed him.

Xia Yu’s heart was cold. It seemed the old saying was right that the lion was carnivorous and could never turn into a vegetarian.

“Is this Young Master Yan’s attitude?” After everyone heard her words, they were even more irritated. Not to mention that they were so exhausted to come here, they were even slandered and risked a demotion.

How hard they reached such a position!

“Otherwise, what do you want him to do? Young Master Mo’s news related to Zeng Mina has been hyped by the media for so many days. All of you know that. After all, Shen Yan is his brother, so Shen Yan can only bear it.” Xia Yu shook her head. Old Madame’s birthday was just around the corner. He couldn’t go to her and quarrel with her, could he?

The people in the Publicity Department were all smart enough, so they could understand what Xia Yu meant naturally. Even if Shen Yan knew that someone was going to trap him through this thing, he could only bear it.

He was just sympathetic to everyone being treated unfairly, but he couldn’t even protect himself, not to mention helping everyone.

It seemed that everyone could only save themselves. These people were all engaged in propaganda, who were familiar with such a situation. Besides, even the leaders in the county here were moved by what Shen Yan had done here, not to mention themselves.

Shen Yan and Xia Yu’s story of saving people on a snowy night had been reported by the local newspapers. They would repost these videos later, wouldn’t they? As for Xia Yu, when she was eating with the children, a reporter took some pictures of her washing their feet as well as hands and helping them apply some frostbite cream.

The local reporters had already reported these things. Why wasn’t there anything sent by reporters in S city? It didn’t matter. They could send these screenshots again.

Anyway, these were not fake, which could be tested.

After these people of the Publicity Department reposted the reports of local reporters, S city immediately witnessed an uproar. On a snowy day, Shen Yan carried a sleeping bag on his shoulders. And the teacher who was saved by them was in the sleeping bag.

By his side was Xia Yu, holding a mobile phone in her hand and walking hard in the snow. Everything was white around them with the path ahead covered to make the direction of the path hard to tell.

If those people had not found them, they might have been swallowed up by the heavy snow.

This was a fight with life, and it also took much courage to do it simply to make fashion, didn’t it? Soon, their story went viral online.

This video went viral on the Internet, and someone quickly found out the information of the rescued Miss Wu. In front of the camera, Miss Wu said with tears, “Before, every time people of Shen Group came over, children were told to line up to welcome them, and then there were many reporters taking pictures, just like making a movie. I felt particularly disgusted with this practice. So, during the welcoming ceremony, when there was no class, I went to see a child who had dropped out of school for illness. When I came back, I sprained my foot and met a blizzard. I really didn’t think that the person who saved me would be Director Shen.”

Miss Wu said very clearly that the people of Shen Group came over, doing the same things every time before. And why did the negative news only emerge at this time when Shen Yan led the team? We really needed to give a good thought to the reason behind.

Especially the leader of Shen Group who was later expelled admitted that he was a little pretentious since he was a neat freak. When he came over with Shen Mo before, Shen Mo’s hand was touched by a child, and soon after he went back, he washed his hands with liquid soap several times.

Why didn’t Old Madame fire him? The leader quickly put the photos of his coming over with Shen Mo before on the Internet. Anyway, he was no longer a person of Shen Group, so he was not afraid of Shen Mo anymore.

He was not stupid. Shen Mo was having a fight against Shen Yan, but Shen Mo could not make him a scapegoat.

He also posted a paragraph on the Internet. “I admit that my expression is not appropriate, but I did not intend to do that. I have a mild mysophobia. I am not saying so to make an excuse for my behavior. I just want to ask a question. As an unimportant person, I was fired simply for a facial expression. So, how will you, Old Madame, punish your eldest Mister, Shen Mo?”

Netizens also wanted to know it, so this post was quickly reposted by many netizens with an unprecedented clicking rate.

Old Madame fired the leader simply to calm things down. But she didn’t expect such an adverse development, which finally turned into a state out of control.

Quickly, she made a personal call to Yang Weiye’s home and said to him in an unprecedented tone, “I don’t care what method you use, but you must definitely suppress the affair.”

Yang Weiye smiled bitterly. How could he do that? Not only were many reporters staring at them, but the citizens of the entire S city were also keeping an eye on them.

Any small movement would cause an uproar, even rippling the entire Shen Group. “Aunt, let’s just meet changes with constancy.”

“How can we do that? If things go on in this way, Little Mo will be done for.” Old Madame roared in a low voice. It was until recently that the quarrel with Zeng Group finally eased up. He could not bear any negative news anymore.

“Aunt, calm down. It has come to this. Tell me how you want to hide the news, and I will do as you tell. OK?” Yang Weiye was a little bit annoyed.

It was the end of being ungrateful. Shen Yan did everything good to him, but Shen Mo stabbed him in the back. What would be the end of Shen Group after such a person took it over?

Even if Yang Weiye had a way, he did not want to take it over, not to mention that he didn’t have any now.

“Weiye, I have always regarded you as my own son. Now when Little Mo has an accident and I personally beg you, do you really want to treat me with such an attitude?” Old Madame was first stunned for a while and soon whimpered. She said to Yang Weiye, “I have never asked for mercy in my life. Even in the years when your uncle died and Shen Group was so difficult, I struggled to get it through by myself. I have not expected to be refused by my niece for the first time when I ask for help.”

“Aunt, it is not that I don’t want to help you. I don’t want to see anything happen to Little Mo, either. But this time, he triggered a lot of anger. Do you know that?” Yang Weiye gently pinched his forehead with his fingers and angrily pulled the tie off, throwing it aside.
