Chapter 77 Did you hire a secret guard?
Chu Rou and Mo Chi didn't take Chu Mingjie's matter to heart. They hadn't been to the company for several days, and a lot of things had piled up to deal with.
Mo Chi also needed to hurry up and acquire Fuqiang Electronics. For several days in a row, he and Chu Rou worked overtime until late at night.
Shen Minghui continued working as usual, and since he didn't see Chu Mingjie causing trouble, he felt somewhat uneasy. He specifically called Shen Yan to ask if Chu Rou had any obligation to support him.
After hearing about Chu Rou's situation, Shen Yan remained silent for a long time. "If Chu Mingjie is unable to support Chu Rou's grandmother, then Chu Rou, as her granddaughter, has an obligation to support her."
"The main thing now is to see if Chu Mingjie has the ability to provide support."
Shen Minghui knew a little about the Chu family. Back then, Old Madam Chu took all of Chu Rou's father's pension money, which was quite a lot, several hundred thousand yuan. They also had dozens of acres of land in the countryside, so their livelihood should not be a problem.
But Chu Mingjie was a bad boy who did all sorts of bad things, including eating, drinking, gambling, and whoring. He couldn't find a wife and remained a bachelor his whole life.
He came to Chu Rou this time to ask for money, probably because he's run out of money and wants to make a quick buck.
"Xiao Yan, can you help Rou Rou? It's so unlucky to have such relatives."
Shen Yan hummed in agreement. "Of course, I will help Xiao Rou."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Yan tapped his fingers on the table as he pondered a solution.
"Brother Shen Yan!" Huang Shan suddenly pushed open the office door and ran in.
Shen Yan frowned slightly. "What's the rush? Can't you even knock?"
"Oh, don't worry about the details," Huang Shan said, running over to Shen Yan with her phone in hand. "Take a look at this video. Do you know this old man?"
Shen Yan glanced at the man in the video. "I don't know him."
"Huh? Then he mentioned Sister Chu Rou, saying that he is Sister Chu Rou's second uncle, and that the old lady lying on the hospital bed is Sister Chu Rou's grandmother." Huang Shan slammed the table. "I knew it was fake. He actually slandered Sister Chu Rou."
"Give it to me so I can take another look." Shen Yan took the phone and watched the video.
The man in the video was crying and sniffling as he accused Chu Rou of disowning his grandmother. He claimed that Chu Rou had a high-paying job but left his grandmother lying in the hospital without contributing a single penny. He also said that if Chu Rou's grandmother couldn't raise enough money for surgery, her life would be in danger, and that Chu Rou was murdering her.
Chu Mingjie found a photo of Chu Rou somewhere and prominently displayed it at the end of the video.
After reading it, Shen Yan frowned. This was moral blackmail against Chu Rou.
People tend to sympathize with the weak, and those who don't know the details will criticize Chu Rou for being cold-blooded and ruthless.
That's absolutely shameless!
"Huang Shan, forward the video to Mo Chi and ask him to handle it."
"Huh?" Huang Shan was taken aback. "No, this man is really Sister Chu Rou's uncle!"
“Yes, but what he said isn’t true,” Shen Yan explained.
"Oh! I know it's not true. Sister Chu Rou would never do such a thing." Huang Shan forwarded the video to Mo Chi.
Mo Chi was in a meeting, and Chu Rou was sitting next to him.
His phone on the table lit up. Chu Rou glanced at it and saw that it was a message from Huang Shan. Her face remained expressionless.
Mo Chi also saw it and wondered what Huang Shan could possibly want from him. He pushed the phone toward Chu Rou and asked her to take a look.
Chu Rou picked up Mo Chi's phone, opened Huang Shan's chat window, and saw that she had sent a video with the following text: 【Hurry up and delete the video.】
Chu Rou was curious about what the video was, so she muted her phone and opened it.
She watched the video calmly. Although she couldn't hear what Chu Mingjie was saying, she could guess what he was saying.
After reading it, she put her phone back where it was. Mo Chi glanced at her, and Chu Rou shook her head slightly to indicate that she was fine.
The meeting ended an hour later.
Chu Rou and Mo Chi returned to the office, and Chu Rou threw the notebook in her hand onto the table.
"Damn bastard!"
Mo Chi shuddered, thinking that he hadn't offended Chu Rou these past two days. Could it be that Huang Shan had posted something she shouldn't have?
He hurriedly took out his phone and opened the video sent by Huang Shan. What he saw almost made Mo Chi so angry that he smashed his phone.
"I really underestimated this scumbag."
Mo Chi never expected that Chu Mingjie, this old man, would use media platforms to smear Chu Rou.
He saw that the video had received tens of thousands of likes and many comments, including calls to dox Chu Rou and lawyers offering to help with the lawsuit.
There are so many brainless people these days!
Mo Chi called his assistant Qin Feng and asked him to contact the video platform to delete the video.
Qin Feng was extremely efficient; in less than half an hour, Chu Mingjie's video was taken down.
Chu Rou asked Mo Chi in confusion, "How did Qin Feng do that?"
Mo Chi pushed up his glasses. "Power or money can solve most problems in the world."
Yes! Chu Rou fell silent. In fact, she could have easily gotten rid of Chu Mingjie with money, saving time and effort, but she couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart.
Why did that disgusting mother and son live a carefree life for over twenty years, taking her father's pension and ignoring her completely?
Now that she's doing well, she's come back asking me to pay for the care of her grandmother, whom she's never even met.
If her father were still alive, would he forgive his mother and brother for treating his daughter this way?
If he dares to forgive them, she doesn't need this surname anymore!
Chu Rou sighed. She was overthinking things. Why bother arguing with someone who's no longer alive?
"Rou Rou, although the video has been taken down, its impact is still there. You need to be mentally prepared."
Mo Chi was still a little worried. "I've already asked Qin Feng to find a few bodyguards. You can pick two to keep by your side."
"Is it really necessary to bring bodyguards?" Chu Rou thought Mo Chi was going a bit too far.
"Moreover, my assistant, who's just a junior staff member, is always accompanied by two bodyguards, as if he has a serious illness,"
Mo Chi pinched Chu Rou's cheek. "We can have them hide. I have bodyguards with me too. Have you seen them?"
Chu Rou's eyes widened. She and Mo Chi were almost inseparable, and she hadn't noticed anyone following him at all.
She recalled the period dramas she had watched, "Did you hire secret guards?"
Mo Chi burst out laughing, "Hahaha, you've been reading too many novels!"
"They only follow behind me when I go out."
Chu Rou then realized how Mo Chi had dealt with the people when she was cornered in the restaurant by Mo Xing'an and President Liu's men.
She couldn't help but sigh, "It's so good to be rich. Do all you rich people hire a lot of bodyguards to follow you around?"
"You brought bodyguards to university?"
“I was kidnapped when I was a child,” Mo Chi answered calmly, as if he were talking about someone else’s story. “Luckily, I was lucky and my dad rescued me.”
“Since then, I’ve always had bodyguards with me when I go out.”
