This harmonious scene was broken by Pei Wu's ringing phone. Even though Shao Sang was charging, Pei Wu still walked a little further away before pressing the answer button.
The caller was Pei Wu's secretary, Ju Heng.
"Hello."
Today is the second day of her marriage. If there wasn't some compelling reason for making this call, Pei Wu knew that Ju Heng would never have called her.
"Mr. Pei, I'm so sorry... I know it's your wedding day today..."
"Okay, just get to the point."
"I sent you a link on WeChat. It's about you and Mr. Gu Yanyu. The company's public relations department has tried its best to remove it from the trending topics, but unfortunately, the discussion is too high and it's gradually overshadowing the news released by the public relations department."
"...."
After pressing the speakerphone button, Pei Wu checked the link Ju Heng had sent her. The link contained a set of pictures and text, with the pictures showing Pei Wu and Gu Yanyu talking at the wedding the day before, and the text conveying an ambiguous atmosphere.
"Many netizens have also spontaneously posted short videos and posts online after seeing the news... The captions are all ambiguous, and there are many marketing accounts jumping on the bandwagon... If this continues, it will not only affect Diana's brand image... Besides, you've just gotten married, what about Mr. Ye's situation...?"
Ju Heng's voice grew increasingly weak; he was even waiting for Pei Wu to erupt in fury.
Pei Wu only zoomed in on the photo after seeing it, and what she saw was the bruise on Gu Yanyu's wrist.
After several seconds, she sighed softly. "Were Gu Yanyu's injuries caused by the Xu family?"
"There are indeed rumors circulating... saying that Ms. Xu's father became mentally unstable after losing his daughter... and often beat Mr. Gu... but the veracity of this information is unknown."
Hearing Ju Heng's words, she almost instantly understood Gu Yanyu's methods. Gu Yanyu was afraid that losing Pei Wu as his support would make things difficult for him in the Xu family, or perhaps he even wanted to use this matter to get rid of the Xu family completely.
He wasn't even afraid of dragging Pei Wu and even the entire Diana down with him.
The public opinion that the mother-in-law's family was abusing their son-in-law who had lost his wife was practically driving the Xu family to ruin.
Pei Wu didn't know the nature of the original owner's relationship with Gu Yanyu, yet he was using her like this... Did they truly have feelings for each other? Was it really just a one-sided love from the original owner that she couldn't have...?
The past events unearthed by netizens all show that Miss Pei's love for Gu Yanyu, her "white moonlight," was unrequited. After marrying Gu Yanyu, she fell in love with a life of extravagance and indulgence, and enjoyed collecting merchandise related to him. Her former secretary, Shen, was one of them, as was her current husband, Ye Shaosang.
But in any case, this matter definitely needs to be resolved as soon as possible.
'At least until Shao Sang regains consciousness.'
Pei Wu glanced subconsciously in the direction of the charging case.
"I will be at the company in fifteen minutes."
"yes."
Pei Wu's new house was located near the company. In less than fifteen minutes, Pei Wu arrived at the company. Ju Heng was already waiting in the lobby on the first floor. When he saw Pei Wu coming, he ran up to her.
"President Pei."
"Um."
"What did the public relations department say?"
"We've tried our best to remove it from the trending topics, but the discussion is still going very well. As you suggested, Mr. Pei, I'm trying to steer the conversation towards Mr. Gu's injuries."
"Yesterday's wedding was recorded in its entirety. I asked the wedding planner to send me yesterday's video to see if any cameras captured me talking with Gu Yanyu yesterday."
"yes."
After listening to Pei Wu's words, the secretary called the wedding planner. After a brief exchange, she told Pei Wu, "The wedding planner said that there was a lot of filming yesterday, so it may take some time."
“…” Pei Wu paused for two seconds before speaking again, “Tell them that it’s about five minutes before the fireworks start, and I’ll give them an hour to send me the original footage.”
"Yes, I'll talk to the person in charge of wedding planning right away."

After leaving the research institute, Shen Yu Nan found himself inexplicably standing downstairs at Diana Company.
"Cough cough." He looked up at Diana's towering building, covered his mouth and coughed lightly twice. The slight furrowing of his brow when he coughed made him look even more sickly.
The clothes Cheng Tong prepared for Shen Yu Nan were the dark suit that Shen Yu Nan wore most often. His pale face made the red mole on the tip of his nose stand out. His lips were pale, with only a faint pink layer that distinguished them from his pale face.
The absurdity of Shao Sang and Pei Wu's night last night had taken its toll on him, making his already weak body feel even more exhausted.
The sun was quite strong today. Shen Yu'nan stood downstairs at Diana's building, where he had desperately wanted to leave back then. He was slightly stunned. He took out his phone again and glanced at the news item about Pei Wu and Gu Yanyu, which was at the top of the news list.
After lying down for so many days, Shen Yunan's hair had grown much longer, and the dark strands swayed in the wind.
After standing there for a while, Shen Yunan finally stepped into the Diana building.
"I'm looking for Ji Congyan."
The receptionist was slightly taken aback when she saw Shen Yu Nan arrive. After a moment of thought, she realized that the person who had come to the company today was President Pei's new husband, not Shen Yu Nan, the secretary who had long since left the company.
It must be said that it is indeed difficult to tell Shen Yu Nan and Shao Sang apart at a glance, unless you are close to them.
"Hello, Mr. Ye."
“…Ahem…” Shen Yunan was silent for a moment before answering, “I’m here to see Ji Congyan of the newly established ‘Xenia’ department. Could you please inform him that my surname is Shen?”
"Okay." The staff member acted quickly and immediately dialed the internal phone. "Hello Mr. Ji, a Mr. Shen is looking for you."
The staff member holding the phone looked up and asked Shen Yu Nan, "Is this Mr. Shen Yu Nan?"
Shen Yu Nan nodded in agreement.
"Okay, Mr. Ji, I will pass on your message right away."
After hanging up the phone, the staff member told Shen Yuhuan, "Mr. Ji said he will be down soon, please wait a moment, Mr. Shen."
"Um."
Shen Yu'nan nodded and stood a little further away, waiting for Ji Congyan to come down.
It wasn't until Shen Yu Nan had walked a little further away that the two staff members from the day before whispered to each other, "That's Secretary Shen from the president's office, isn't he?"
"He already said he's Shen Yu Nan, how could he possibly run away?"
"That's true, but what's he doing at Diana after leaving the company for so long?"
"Mind your own business. Maybe he's just here to visit a friend."
A moment later, Ji Congyan came downstairs. He had his work badge around his neck. He called out to Shen Yu Nan from a distance and jogged towards Shen Yu Nan.
"You're back from your business trip. Are you here to treat me to lunch in the middle of the day?"
