"He went abroad? Didn't he just come back?"
"Yes, they said they hadn't finished dealing with things overseas, so they went back," said Butler Feng.
"If the matter isn't resolved, why did he come back?"
Did they come specifically to talk badly about her behind her back?
"I don't know... But, did the young master say anything to the madam last night, or explain anything?" Butler Feng asked tentatively.
"Explain what?"
"Oh, it's nothing, I was just saying it casually, please don't mind it, madam."
Butler Feng went out to arrange some things.
Aunt Yang heated up a cup of milk and placed it in front of Xiang Jin, carefully choosing her words: "Young Master went to see Madam as soon as he got back, did he really not say anything?"
Xiang Jin sighed helplessly, "They really didn't say anything."
"Oh, okay, I was just asking casually." Aunt Yang prepared to go back to the kitchen.
Xiang Jin pulled her back.
"Where's my vegetable porridge, Aunt Yang? Why isn't it here today?" She looked at her pitifully.
Aunt Yang was also a little worried: "There probably won't be any tomorrow either."
She sighed and went back to the kitchen.
Xiang Jin: "..."
Design with all my heart.
Xiang Jin arrived at the company, with twenty minutes to spare before her shift started, and she opened the news.
The hashtag #MistressGoToDie# has reached second place on the trending list, closely following the hashtag #SuspectedMistressPushedFangXinman#, and the word "suspected" has been removed from the hashtag.
So it seems she's already confirmed as the other woman.
Xiang Jin shook his head helplessly.
"Xiangjin, did you really see that mistress that day? Did you also see Murong Xiao? Is he as cold-blooded and cool as the rumors say?" While Kelly was away, Ran Fangya secretly came over to gossip again.
Xiang Jin laughed: "You're still interested?"
"Of course!"
"The gossip has been going on for two or three days. Given how efficient netizens are, they should have dug up the mistress's ancestors for eighteen generations. But for some reason, they haven't even dug up a single name this time!"
"I'm just so curious, I just wanted to ask you."
"Actually, I didn't pay much attention at the time, but the mistress was indeed not very good-looking," Xiang Jin said seriously.
Ran Fangya suddenly realized: "Then she's definitely not as pretty as you."
"Do you think I'm pretty?" Xiang Jin asked back.
"To be honest, although your education and work experience are questionable, I really can't find anything wrong with your appearance and figure. Besides, I don't think you're a bad person. I don't understand why some people keep targeting you."
Xiang Jin was amused by her.
The two were engrossed in their conversation when Kelly suddenly walked over.
"What are you chatting about? You seem to be having so much fun. Why don't you join us?" Her expression was a little displeased.
Ran Fangya froze.
"Huh? I just wanted to borrow a pen from Xiang Jin. I'm going back to work right away, right away."
Ran Fangya ran faster than a rabbit.
Just then, someone in the office shouted, "My God, the latest gossip, freshly baked gossip, come quick, come quick!"
The onlookers, eager to watch the drama unfold, all stopped what they were doing and gathered around the man.
"Fengrong's official Weibo account couldn't hold back any longer and actually issued a statement!"
An uproar erupted in the office.
Everyone pulled out their phones and went online to watch the drama unfold.
Xiang Jin also opened Weibo.
The trending topic on the hot topic list has changed from the original topic to a new one – #FengrongOfficialWeiboStatement#.
The statement is very simple:
"In response to recent online rumors, Fengrong Group hereby declares: The girl in the gray dress in the video is our boss's wife, not a mistress. The boss was simply defending his wife. Please do not believe or spread rumors, comment calmly, and be rational in your pursuit of celebrities. Thank you."
The statement was accompanied by a photo of Xiang Jin's back.
In the photo of her back, she wears a light blue dress, holds a book, and walks leisurely forward. Dappled shadows fall from the trees, and she slightly turns her head, her eyes like stars, her smile as warm as a spring breeze.
This statement swept across the entire internet within just half an hour, causing a huge uproar.
What the heck? The mistress who's been getting all the flak for days isn't actually a mistress?
I've been feeling sorry for Fang Xinman for days, but it turns out she's the third party involved in the breakup?!
This is a bit dramatic, isn't it?
Oh wait, isn't this drama a bit over the top?
Wait a minute—
It seems there's something more important I forgot—
Murong Xiao, he actually got married?!
He actually got married secretly, without the knowledge of his vast fan base?!
The person I'm marrying is... someone who isn't very well-known.
Women across the country instinctively clutched their chests, trying to protect their hearts from breaking.
"Wow, the boss lady of Fengrong has such an amazing aura! It's just a shame we can't see her face, and we don't know if she's as pretty as Fang Xinman." Colleague A is a die-hard fan of Fang Xinman.
"Yes, but judging from her back view, she must be a beautiful woman."
"Sister, don't you know there are plenty of 'back view beauties' these days?! If she were really that pretty, why doesn't Feng Rong post a picture of her face?" Colleague A retorted.
Colleague B pondered: "That makes sense... and besides, Master Xiao has never mentioned her, so she's probably ugly."
"Political marriages are not true love."
The other colleagues nodded in agreement.
“But…this back view does look quite like Xiang Jin’s.” Ran Fangya said suddenly, stroking her chin.
"Xiang Jin? How could that be!"
Kelly scoffed.
Putting her alongside Boss Fengrong is an insult!
"I know it's impossible, it's just a matter of how your back looks. Xiangjin, why don't you lift your head and compare?"
Xiang Jin was nervously fidgeting with the fish...
Upon hearing Ran Fangya's voice, she lowered her head even further.
"Xiang Jin, I'm calling you, didn't you hear me?" Ran Fangya walked towards Xiang Jin.
"Ah, my stomach's a little upset, I'm going to the restroom first. You guys keep chatting, bye~" Xiang Jin grabbed her phone and ran off quickly, disappearing from sight in the blink of an eye.
After they came out, everyone had returned to their posts.
Xiang Jin breathed a sigh of relief.
Although she was constantly scrolling through comments, she felt at ease as long as she stopped staring at that photo.
Because of Feng Rong's statement, online comments have become overwhelmingly negative:
"I'm sorry, it was my fault. Who knew I'd been yelling at the wrong person!"
"Me too, I was too impulsive... If the landlady saw the comments, she would be heartbroken. I'm such a sinner..."
"What are you afraid of? I'll give them a piece of my mind for you right now!"
So netizens spontaneously formed a team and went to Fang Xinman to hurl insults at her, returning all the insults and accusations against Xiang Jin, calling her a mistress.
Fang Xinman became the target of public criticism overnight.
The hashtag #FangXinmanIsTheRealMistress# quickly rose to the top of the trending list.
Bai Ning scrolled through the comments, laughing so hard she was doubled over.
"That's awesome, that's fucking awesome! The situation has completely reversed, hahaha! Let's see how Fang Xinman gets out of this mess!"
"She dared to make things difficult for you before, let's see if she dares to be arrogant again, hahahahaha..."
