When Mu Xiaoxiao got out of the car, she glanced at her watch and realized it was already past midnight. Feeling uneasy, she tiptoed to open the living room door and found only a small nightlight on inside. She patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
The next second, the lights suddenly blazed brightly in front of them.
"Ah!" Mu Xiaoxiao saw someone standing in front of her and took two steps back in fright. When she realized it was Yang Qingheng, she covered her chest and shut her mouth: "Sister-in-law, you scared me to death."
"Your brother went on a business trip this morning, so no one was there to stop you." Yang Qingheng found it amusing; she hadn't expected that coming down for a glass of water would lead to such a misunderstanding.
Mu Xiaoxiao relaxed, poured herself a glass of water, and gave her a reproachful look: "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
"Serves you right. What did you promise me when I came back tonight? If you hadn't called me, I would have gone out and called the police." Yang Qingheng glanced at her sideways.
Feeling guilty, Mu Xiaoxiao smiled ingratiatingly, "Sister-in-law, I know you're different from my old-fashioned brother, please let me off this time."
"Alright, go back to sleep." Yang Qingheng waved her hand and went upstairs with her water glass.
This girl is an adult; she should just mention it once. If her sister-in-law interferes too much, she'll only annoy people.
"Oh, right," she suddenly turned around, remembering something, "Don't tell your brother about what happened today."
"Why?" Mu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, not quite agreeing. Pan Changshu had acted so badly today, her brother should know and teach him a lesson.
Moreover, given how much her brother adores Yang Qingheng, if she didn't tell him immediately, he would definitely scold her if he found out about it from someone else.
“He’s on a business trip to the south this time. What’s the point of telling him? He can’t come back anyway. He’ll just be anxious and helpless. I can handle it myself.” Yang Qingheng knew she was being helpful.
However, she and Tang Bainian were not a real couple, so there were some things she shouldn't bother him with.
Mu Xiaoxiao hesitated: "But I heard that the Pan family is very protective of their own, so this matter is not so easy to handle." Judging from Pan Changshu's arrogant behavior in the past, it can be seen that the Pan family dotes on this only son to an excessive degree.
"Your brother is getting a promotion soon."
Yang Qingheng only said this much, and Mu Xiaoxiao was silent for a moment: "If there's anything I can do to help, you must tell me."
Yang Qingheng nodded, not taking it to heart.
hotel.
A piercing scream came from the ground; the woman's voice sounded especially terrifying in the darkness.
"Slap!" A hard slap landed on her face. The man on top of her stood up, his face dark, and disgustedly wiped the filth from his feet on her face. "You slut, weren't you enjoying yourself just now? Are you unhappy with how loud you're yelling? Hmm? Let my brothers come in and see who lets you yell the loudest."
Cheng Juan's eyes were gloomy. She crawled under the bed with trembling legs, her mouth full of blood. She was as if she had lost her voice and dared not utter a single syllable.
The man laughed, grabbed her hair with one hand, and rubbed her bloody scalp viciously with his thumb: "If you had been this obedient from the beginning, things would have been much easier."
Pan Changshu came out of the bathroom, drying his hair, with only a towel around his waist. He spat and looked at the two people on the ground with disdain: "Alright, don't play around to death. It'll be hard to explain if they die."
“Brother is right,” the man chuckled, getting up from the ground. “I’ll throw this slut out right now, so she won’t offend your eyes.”
He then kicked the woman on the ground in the leg: "What, do I have to treat you?"
The woman's venomous eyes were fixed on Pan Changshu: "You beasts will get your comeuppance."
"Retribution?" Pan Changshu chuckled, as if he had heard a joke, and picked at his ear. "Don't you even know who I am? Does anyone dare to give me retribution?"
He chuckled and ordered his underlings, "You're being disrespectful with your mouth. Drag you out and let the brothers teach you a lesson."
The bedroom finally quieted down, but less than three seconds later, the door opened.
"Brother Chang?"
"Go in." Pan Changshu's expression was unpleasant.
The younger brother chuckled, pushed open the door, and thoughtfully closed it behind him. He bent slightly and handed over an envelope: "Brother, this is from some lawyer."
Pan Changshu raised an eyebrow, took it, and after reading its contents, almost burst out laughing: "Does she really think that marrying into the Tang family will turn her from a pheasant into a phoenix? Using this to sue me? Are you out of your mind?"
The envelope was crumpled up, blending in with the trash on the ground.
The younger brother bowed and scraped, then hurried out, saying, "I'm sorry to have bothered you, brother. I'll be right out."
Pan Changshu sneered, but before he could even gloat for three seconds, the door was kicked open from the outside.
"Pan Changshu, look at the mess you've made!" Pan Zhen said angrily, glancing at the scene in the room and pinching his nose in disgust.
"It's just a lawyer's letter, is it really worth all this trouble for you to come all this way?" Pan Changshu said casually. "It's not the first time."
“A small matter? Do you know how many reporters are camped outside the hotel, and how many reporters are camped outside the company?” Pan Zhen gritted his teeth, but ultimately couldn’t bring himself to lay a hand on his son. “If the company’s reputation is ruined, I’ll beat you to death, you little brat.”
"She even contacted reporters?" Pan Changshu paused, his eyes widened, and his expression changed.
Pan Zhen was also in a panic, so he grabbed the clothes from the bed and threw them at his head: "Come back with me now."
…………
Yang Qingheng looked at the few newspapers in her hand and nodded in satisfaction.
The Pan family's company is in a hurry to apply for benefits from higher authorities. With such a huge scandal, they're probably going to be very busy.
"Qingheng, something bad has happened." Sun Rong pushed open the door and came in.
Yang Qingheng sat up straight: "What is it?"
"The newspapers that the newspapers distributed have all been urgently recalled. Several newspapers just called to say they will not continue their cooperation." Sun Rong's face was not good as she pulled out a chair and sat down.
Yang Qingheng frowned: "Then let's go to those companies we often cooperate with, give them more money, and ask them to dedicate a section to reporting on this matter."
Sun Rong felt uneasy, but she did as she was told and made the call directly from the balcony. However, Yang Qingheng could tell from a distance that her expression was not very good.
My heart sank heavily.
"how?"
