"Huh? Mr. Shen, what did you say?"
Shen Jing stared blankly at Shen Lanxin, a look of intelligence in her eyes. She could hardly believe that the young lady she had grown up with had developed such a serious mental condition.
Admittedly, that Mu fellow did have some extraordinary qualities, especially the photo of him sitting on a wall, directing others to bully his classmates, with his blackened socks standing out conspicuously.
As the old saying goes, good food is good food. Even if it is covered in dust and looks black and dirty, it does not affect its tempting taste at all. On the contrary, it adds a unique flavor and makes people more hungry.
Although Shen Jing thought this way, she didn't put it into action. After all, she still had her Nan-ge. Nan-ge only had her left; if she didn't help him, who would?
"Is it impossible to remove the trending topics and the buzz?"
"Yes, but it's a bit troublesome because Liu Kun's influence is too great and may damage Lan Tian's reputation."
Hearing this, Shen Lanxin frowned. She didn't want to see her Xiao Nanniang continue to bear this inexplicable stigma.
After all, Xiao Nanniang doesn't truly belong to her yet.
At the company headquarters, Chu Yaqin, who had just arrived, did not go to her usual office, but went directly to the chairman's office on the top floor.
Upon entering the office, Chu Tianxing sat in his boss's chair with his back to the desk, while Li Guang sat on the sofa next to him, holding a laptop.
"Dad, why did you call me here in such a hurry? What's the matter?"
"Take a look for yourself on your Uncle Guang's computer."
Chu Tianxing's tone was low and deep, like a lion hiding its anger.
Chu Yaqin walked towards Li Guang, who then turned the computer around, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
"This...was done by the Liu family?"
On the computer screen, there was clearly the content about Mu Liuyun that Liu Kun had forwarded, along with a barrage of insults in the comments section below.
Chu Yaqin grew angrier the more she looked. In a fit of rage, she right-clicked and saved the photo of Mu Liuyun sitting on the wall as a different file before turning to look at Chu Tianxing.
Chu Tianxing turned around in his chair, slammed his hand on the table, and his non-prescription glasses reflected the light, making it impossible to see his eyes: "Damn the Liu family, are they trying to start a full-scale war with my Chu family? Xiaoyun is Brother Mu's daughter, so she's like my son. How can I let her suffer?"
After saying this, Chu Tianxing paused, as if he had noticed a grammatical error.
Never mind, that's not important right now.
Although he had only known Mu Liuyun for a few days, the fact that she was Mu's eldest brother's grandson was enough for him to be certain that Mu Liuyun was not that kind of person.
More importantly, if Mu Liuyun really wanted to give him money, why would he need to go through all this trouble with his daughter? He even rented the apartment next to Mu Liuyun's, which meant he saw his daughter much less.
Li Guang, who was standing to the side, nodded. The big, burly man felt that someone who could be valued by the master and young lady must not be a bad person.
Moreover, the fact that this adorable boy was moved by the feelings he had for the master and young lady when they first met shows that he is an extremely gentle and kind person. How could he possibly do something like bullying a classmate or becoming someone's mistress?
“Daughter, let’s postpone Mu’s trip abroad for now and resolve this matter with the Liu family first.”
"No need, I can do it."
Chu Tianxing shook his head, his expression still serious: "It's not as simple as you think. A few old fogies from the Lin family have also come to see me."
...
At the Liu family home, Liu Kun sat on the sofa, holding a phone in one hand and pressing Zhang Ruyu's head down with the other. His expression was ferocious as he spoke into the phone: "Uncle Dong, is your method really going to work? Why should we target that kid? He won't have much impact on our plans."
The person on the other end of the phone sighed, "Kun Kun, the key to our plan is Lulu. Now that Lulu can't accept you, it will be difficult for the plan to proceed to the next step."
“If we don’t nail that brat to the ground, your relationship with Lin Hongmei won’t be able to progress smoothly.”
Hearing the name Lin Hongmei, whom he had never even met, Liu Kun's face showed a complicated expression as he looked at Zhang Ruyu, who was prostrate in front of him.
What if I look even worse than this?
Fine, for the sake of the Lin family's wealth and the Liu family's future, I'll risk it all.
“I understand, Uncle Dong, but what about the Chu family and the Shen family? I think those two young ladies are quite fond of Mu Liuyun.”
"Ha, what an idiot. I've already sent someone to talk to them. They might be willing to break with the Liu family for Mu Liuyun, but they can't possibly break with the Lin family for the same reason, can they?"
Liu Kun was still a little confused: "But even if we use public opinion to make Mu Liuyun drop out of school, it won't make much difference."
"...You're really stupid. Why did I even ask you for help?"
Lin Yaodong sighed and spoke again: "Once he drops out of school, this matter will be settled. Even if my good niece is willing to let him continue to be with Lulu, public opinion will not agree, and in the end, even Lin Hongmei herself will be caught up in it."
Upon hearing this, Liu Kun's lips curled into a smile: "Right, so that's how it is. Isn't this a well-intentioned scheme? Regardless of whether it's exposed or not, as long as Mu Liuyun drops out of school, I can get close to Lulu?"
"Just continue without worry. Even if things are exposed, it won't affect you. Just post an apology on Weibo and everything will be fine."
"Okay, okay!"
Immediately afterward, Liu Kun let out a series of rapid breaths, which made Lin Yaodong on the other end of the phone frown. After saying "Take care of yourself," he hung up the phone.
The call was abruptly ended, and Liu Kun was a little annoyed: "We agreed on a collaboration, so why is he treating me like a subordinate?"
As he spoke, he looked down at Zhang Ruyu in front of him and asked, "Are you done?"
Zhang Ruyu quickly replied, "Alright, alright!"
"I have other things to do. You can stay here for the next few days. I'll arrange for someone to bring you meals."
After saying that, Liu Kun left the living room without looking back.
Zhang Ruyu, who was left alone, didn't think Liu Kun was a scumbag for running away after he was done. Instead, she looked at Liu Kun with gratitude.
"Young Master Liu is so kind. He not only gave me a place to stay, but also helped me get revenge. He even helped me pick out a piece of chive stuck between my teeth with a toothpick at noon."
...
"So, the Lin family wants to cooperate with the Liu family?"
Chu Yaqin was a little surprised. She had a good relationship with Lin Yurou, the second son of the Lin family, and had never heard of the Lin family making such a move. Could it be that Lin Yurou had lied to her?
Chu Tianxing shook his head: "The situation here is very complicated. The Lin family's domestic industries are in complete chaos right now. This is not the intention of the Lin family head, but it will indeed become a constraint for us."
As he spoke, Chu Tianxing took off his glasses: "So, daughter, don't worry, leave this to Dad."
Chu Yaqin gritted her teeth, thought for a long time, and finally shook her head to refuse. She looked at Li Guang and said, "Uncle Guang, could you please help me find the phone number of Shen Lanxin, the president of Lantian Group?"
