529 Madam Yu

"That— Is that a threat?" Qiao Qiao trembled as she read the image over and over again. "Jing… let's report this to the police!" her voice started to shake. This should be Lily's doing! Is Lily going to kill her next?

"No… we can't." Yu Jing gritted his teeth. "If we do that, they would know that we contacted this group of people. We can't let that happen." He said before he deleted the image. "If this is true…" he swallowed his saliva. "If they are dead, then… we can't have the police trace them to us." He immediately turned off the burner phone that he is using to talk to the group of hackers.

The more Qiao Qiao thought about it. The more she got nervous. Lily was indeed a very tricky person to deal with. She wondered if she should call Chen Shi about the matter and ask for her help.

Chen Shi's assistant Chen Luan should be able to help her, right? But… what if they won't?

"What are we going to do now?" Qiao Qiao asked Yu Jing. "The images… If the hackers are compromised then… who will take them down?" Yu Jing didn't answer her. Instead, he stood from his seat and walked towards his closet. "Jing… I'm afraid."

"Don't be." Yu Jing said as he started dressing himself. "This is temporary. I will talk to Manager Hao so she could at least try to solve this matter with you."

Qiao Qiao sneered inwardly. Manager Hao? That woman is dumb. There Is no way that she would help her. "Jing… what if she refused?"

"Then we create something bigger than this. We can easily bury this scandal if we create a bigger one." Yu Jing clenched his jaws. "To bury Lily's issue, they actually released something like this. They are fighting fire with fire. Embrace yourself, I believe that more things are coming our way."

"Jing…" Qiao Qiao sat on the bed as she used her hand to cover her face. Her shoulders trembled, her low sobs echoed inside the room. "This is all my fault. This is all my fault. I shouldn't have told you about what happened way back in Hong Kong. I shouldn't have…"

"Shhhh…. What are you talking about?" he kneeled in front of her and pulled her into a hug. "I am your man. You should tell me everything. This is not your fault at all."

"But your mother…" Qiao Qiao didn't continue her words. Based on her research, the Yu Family is very competitive and is very traditional when it comes to business. They would not hesitate to kick someone out of their family if that person ruined their reputation.

"My family always believed that reputation is everything. However… my father is different. Don't worry. I am sure that they will still accept you no matter what happens. Also… my grandfather's birthday is next week. I will ask someone to get your measurements tomorrow for your gown. I am planning to formally introduce you to the family as my fiance."

Qiao Qiao only nodded at his words. She was originally planning to refuse the man's proposal because she was still too young to get married. Moreover, she always believed that she can still achieve more.

More fame, more money, a wonderful career, a rich and prominent husband. Qiao Qiao always believed that she deserves to have such things. However, Lily's retaliation ruined her plans. How could she go out and pretend to be innocent now that the cyber world is feasting their eyes on her indecent photos?

What she needed now is an escape plan, and that is Yu Jing. It will be very easy to explain to her fans that they have been secretly seeing each other and is truly in love. She was sure that her fans would support her engagement.

What she needed to do now is to impress Yu Jing's family. Make them like her, then boom! She could even be the next Madam Yu if she wanted to.

Sky City

While the Internet blew up because of Qiao Qiao's scandal, Lily and Zhou Jingren had a splendid sleep.

Lily woke up because of her growling stomach. She eyed the clock and frowned when she realized that it was already eight in the morning. 'Must be the vitamins,' she concluded. The doctor said that it is only normal for her to be sleepy and tired in the first trimester. Moreover, he also added some vitamins that could make her sleep more.

She eyed the vacant spot of the bed and sigh. Zhou Jingren must have already left for work. She thought as she pulled the blanket on top of her head. She felt like she had slept for ten hours or more and yet she is still tired. What kind of sorcery is this?

After a few more minutes of lying down, Lily finally parted with her bed and go down to eat breakfast.

"You're here?" Lily asked when she spotted Yang Mi in the living room. "Is there a problem?" she asked.

"I will accompany you and the president today," Yang Mi stood from her seat. "Madam Zhou Dae Un is on her apartment a few floors downstairs. She has a cold and President Zhou told her not to come to see you and risk infecting you with her colds."

"Oh." Lily nodded. "Must be the travel." She went towards the kitchen and started eating her breakfast. "Are we going somewhere today?" She asked herself.

"You have scheduled a viewing with the President. Go Jichen and President Zhou will pick us up at ten in the morning." Yang Mi immediately reminded Lily. She eyed Lily's nonexistent bump and wondered if it was okay for her to go to The Peak. Yang Mi heard from Go Jichen that Lily needed to take care of herself because of her previous problems.

"I'm good. Don't worry too much." Lily lifted her head to meet Yang Mi's eyes. How could she miss the concern in the latter's tone? Lily's lips lifted into a gentle smile. "Thank you for your concern." She added.
