Chapter 82 Her ex-husband is frantically looking for her.

After sending the cooperation proposal to Yu Yan, Xiang Jingheng waited for a reply.

He has offered the most sincere terms, and he believes that Yu Yan will be quite moved when she sees them and understand his difficulties.

Yu Yan is always saying one thing and meaning another. Even if she says she would never cooperate with him, women are soft-hearted. If he shows sincerity and coaxes and begs her a little, there is still a good chance.

In particular, the sudden exposure of Hua Zhidao, the president of Huaxiang Technology, and his involvement in tabloid news was like a godsend for him.

However, the email sank without a trace, receiving no response whatsoever.

Gradually, Xiang Jingheng became restless.

He checked the email repeatedly to see if there were any problems, but there weren't. He also checked the plan repeatedly, and there were no problems there either.

Where did things go wrong?

Could it be that Yu Yan hasn't used this email address for a long time?

Xiang Jingheng is always an efficient person. If Yu Yan were willing to pay attention to him, he would not choose such a slow method as sending an email; he would have made a phone call long ago.

But now Yu Yan completely blocks him out, treating him no differently than a stranger.

No, they're not even as good as strangers.

Xiang Jingheng couldn't resist sending Yu Yanran a message: "Did you receive the email?"

"If you receive it, please check the plan and reply to me; if you do not receive it, please let me know your new email address and I will resend it."

His tone seemed too abrupt, so Xiang Jingheng thought for a moment and added two more words: "Thank you."

"..." How pathetic.

Xiang Jingheng deeply lamented for himself. He used to be a great man and the head of his family. How did he end up like this?

What's even more tragic is that even though he's already lowered himself so much, Yu Yan still won't reply to him.

Xiang Jingheng felt extremely agitated.

When I returned to my lodgings that evening, only the nanny was there; my son was nowhere to be seen.

"Where is Xiao Chu?"

The nanny, Sister Ying, said, "Young Master Gan has taken him away."

"What?"

Xiang Jingheng frowned slightly. He had been busy with work these past few days and hadn't been home for several days. He had been relying on a nanny to take care of the child, while a driver and bodyguard were responsible for picking up and dropping off the child. He didn't know that Gan Xiaoxing had taken Xiang Chu away.

Why didn't you tell me?

Seeing his unfriendly expression, Yingjie quickly explained, "Miss Gan said she has already spoken to you. Since you've been busy with work these past few days, she'll help take care of the children."

Xiang Jingheng's face darkened again. Gan Xiaoxing was becoming increasingly unscrupulous in her lies.

I wonder what she's planning to do with Xiang Chu this time.

Xiang Jingheng called Gan Xiaoxing, and Gan Xiaoxing answered the phone and said a few words, her voice so chilling it made one's scalp tingle.

Not knowing what she was doing, Xiang Jingheng heard people talking non-stop, saying things like "comments" and "bullet comments," but he couldn't be bothered with them. He said in a deep voice, "Let Xiao Chu answer the phone."

"Okay." Gan Xiaoxing's voice was very sweet. "Xiao Chu, it's Daddy."

Xiang Chu: "Dad."

Hearing her son's voice and confirming that he was safe, Xiang Jingheng felt a little relieved and asked, "What is your godmother doing?"

Xiang Chu: "My godmother is live streaming."

Xiang Jingheng's forehead twitched. "Live broadcast?"

“Yes.” Xiang Chu said, “My godmother is amazing. She and her doctoral uncles are teaching some students how to write papers and helping them solve problems they encounter in their research work.”

He was in high spirits.

Xiang Jingheng paused, "Then what were you doing there?"

"I'm listening from the side."

Xiang Chu: "Sometimes when my godmother records some videos, I help her by saying some lines or taking some photos, which is a lot of fun."

"..."

Yu Yan learned from Cheng Yun that Gan Xiaoxing had become an online celebrity, opened a parent-child account, and appeared on camera with Xiang Chu.

Sometimes they even conduct live-streamed classes and guide students in writing papers, making it a very popular activity.

Gan Xiaoxing already had a celebrity effect, and she was a hot topic in the news these days. As soon as the account was opened, a huge wave of traffic rushed to her, and the first video went viral.

Gan Xiaoxing cultivates a persona of a beautiful scientist, showing off her detached villa and private swimming pool in her videos, and filming herself working, exercising, reading, and swimming.

A beautiful face, a stunning figure, and a refined yet relaxed lifestyle fulfill all the fantasies of netizens about a wealthy heiress, while the few seconds of Xiang Chu and Gan Xiaoxing playing the piano together attracted countless eyes.

Xiang Chu affectionately calls Gan Xiaoxing "godmother," sometimes omitting the "god" and simply calling her "mommy." The two roll and play on the yoga mat, just like a real mother and son.

The cover photo, showing Gan Xiaoxing hugging Xiang Chu and kissing him so hard his face was distorted, pierced Yu Yan's nerves like a sharp blade, instantly transporting her back to three years ago.

—The intimate photo of "a family of three" that she saw on Xiang Jingheng's phone.

Gan Xiaoxing showed Yu Yan through her actions that even if she left the scientific research circle, she could still forcefully intrude into her life.

Whether it's Xiang Jingheng or Xiang Chu, they all belong to her.

If she can snatch something from Yu Yan once, she can snatch it from her countless times. The Xiang family father and son will never escape her grasp in this lifetime.

For several days in a row, as Gan Xiaoxing became an overnight sensation online, Yu Yan heard her name everywhere she went.

She tried her best to stay away from the internet, but she could still hear Xiang Chu calling "Mommy" from other people's phones in various corners, as well as Gan Xiaoxing's sweet voice talking to Xiang Jingheng during her live stream.

Everyone envies Gan Xiaoxing for being born in Rome, and envies her beautiful childhood love with President Xiang.

They even envied her for giving birth painlessly, because even though her son wasn't her biological child, he was still very close to her.

What about Yu Yan?

Yu Yan has become a joke.

The father-son duo of Xiang Jingheng and Xiang Chu have turned Yu Yan into a complete joke in the eyes of countless netizens.

—

Xiang Jingheng is frantically searching for Yu Yan.

Yu Yan has disappeared.

She vanished into thin air, and no matter how hard he searched, he couldn't find her.

Xiang Jingheng felt an unprecedented sense of panic.

Not only because Yu Yan never replied to his emails, but also because... when Xiang Jingheng confronted Shao Muyan, Shao Muyan showed him the payment record, and Xiang Jingheng realized that the news about Huazhidao was fabricated by Gan Xiaoxing.

She used the same bank card he had given her.

That feeling of being struck by lightning is back.

What kind of person did he become in Yu Yan's heart?

In the name of business competition, are they willing to resort to such despicable means as exposing their competitors' privacy?

“I didn’t do it,” Xiang Jingheng said to Shao Muyan.

Shao Muyan's eyes were icy cold. "Does it matter? Whether you did it or Gan Xiaoxing did it, what difference does it make? In the eyes of the outside world, you, Gan Xiaoxing, and Xiang Chu are a family."

"I have no relation to Gan Xiaoxing," Xiang Jingheng insisted. "Me, Yu Yan, and Xiang Chu—we are the family!"

"Xiang Jingheng, stop deceiving yourself."

Shao Muyan looked at him coldly, "You keep saying you want to win back Yu Yan, but all you've done is hurt her. If you really cared about her, you wouldn't let Gan Xiaoxing flaunt Xiang Chu on the internet and show off your love like that."

"Have you ever considered things from Yu Yan's perspective? How would she feel hearing her son call the woman who framed her 'Mom,' and being ridiculed by netizens?"

"I..." Xiang Jingheng was speechless. "Why bother with things on the internet?"

Shao Muyan's brows furrowed, and he punched him directly.

Xiang Jingheng staggered from the blow and was about to retaliate when Shao Muyan said coolly, "It's just a punch, why bother?"
