'The school belle of A University, Flourish & Prosper's youngest daughter Su Yue, was reported to be engaged in a passionate kiss with an unknown guy under a tree. She was then caught sneaking off to her boyfriend's dormitory in the middle of the night. Her personal and love life is complicated. This afternoon, she had a brawl with the girls at her dormitory and her shirt was ripped apart. Hence her naked photos have circulated... '
The man reading this news article was shaking badly.
"President..."
His secretary called him several times to get his attention but to no avail. Hence, she had to increase her volume.
The man finally responded and raised his head. The cigarette had burned his fingers, and he casually flicked it away. Without a word, he rose.
His abrupt actions caught his secretary off guard and it shocked her.
"Postpone all my schedules."
After the secretary snapped out of her shock, the towering figure had already reached the exit.
"President, the flight is about to take off..."
His secretary rushed after him. The man had exited the departure lounge and marched towards the elevator.
The black Mercedes sped off at lightning speed, and the man behind the wheel was looking solemn. He had a frown on his face.
'Yueyue, even if you don't care or cherish my love, I will not let you suffer in silence. I need to announce to everyone that I'm that man, ' Ming Ansheng thought to himself.
He had to assume this responsibility.
...
No matter how Xuxu badgered Su Yue, she remained mum.
Xuxu continued to look at Su Yue."Yueyue, you know that I never force you to do the things you dislike."
Su Yue remained quiet and Xuxu paused. Her head was bowed while Su Yue peered at the ground.
Xuxu knew how stubborn she could be and concluded that she wouldn't be able to get an answer from her today. So, she sighed and gave up.
She said, "Didn't you say that Jiao Chen was such a good guy? I've observed him. He is indeed good."
Su Yue raised her head and widened her eyes. Fear, guilt, and doubt flickered in her eyes.
Her hands, which hung by her sides, clenched into fists. And her palms were wet with sweat.
Did Third sister-in-law... recognize the guy in the photo?
Su Yue couldn't muster her courage to ask her.
She was so afraid that Xuxu would utter the name Ming Ansheng.
Silence fell upon them when Su Yue's phone interrupted the silence.
Her phone was on her bed, and Su Yue turned her head to glance at it. She stood up slowly and walked over.
Jiaojiao was calling and she picked up the call.
She answered and said hello.
"Come down."
Jiao Chen's voice was still so soft and gentle.
His composure shocked Su Yue. She frowned. She stammered, "Jiaojiao... you..."
She wanted to ask if he saw the news about her. Before she could phrase her question, Jiao Chen interjected, "Come down now. I'll wait for you at the entrance of your dormitory."
He hung up before Su Yue could utter a word.
Su Yue ended the call and stared at the screen, unable to believe her ears.
"What's wrong?" Xuxu strode over and glanced at the screen and caught a glimpse of Jiao Chen's name before the call ended. The corners of her mouth curled and she said, "So it's Jiao Chen."
"Mmm." Su Yue nodded and placed the phone back on the bed. She turned around and said, "He asked me to go down. He is waiting downstairs for me."
Xuxu smiled."Hurry along then."
"But I don't feel like it." Su Yue bowed her head, looking dejected.
