No media was invited to Grandma Li’s birthday party yesterday, only a few influential photographers recorded the whole process.
The other group members chattered, "Holy crap, am I seeing things? Is this Ning Yichu? The divorced woman from back then?"
"I heard that she is now a specially invited jade carver in the North Pole. Last night, she gave the old lady of the Li family a jade carving. It was so shocking that her eyes widened!"
"Doesn't that mean she has stolen all the limelight?"
"If I were Shen Jiangqing, I would probably want to tear her apart with my bare hands!"
"Haha, that's why you're so behind the times. Shen Jiangqing was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment early this morning. He seems to have had a heart attack..."
"The most powerful ex-wife in history!"
"What do you know? There's a follow-up to last night's dancing incident, okay?"
"What's next?"
"Boss Li's daughter went out to play with Ning Yichu, and somehow she fell into the water. Ning Yichu immediately jumped in to save her, and Boss Li followed suit. He even performed multiple artificial respirations. If the Li family hadn't issued a gag order, this would have been reported to the media long ago!"
"You're really good at it. Is this a self-directed performance?"
"Won't they get back together? What about Shen Jiangqing? What about the twins she gave birth to?"
"You're overthinking it. Apart from that old woman, no one in the Li family likes Ning Yichu. They'd never accept her!" Ji Shiwan came forward and posted a photo. It was a picture of Su Huiyue embarrassing Ning Yichu at the door. She taunted, "Ning Yichu exudes poverty and sophistication. If I were Mrs. Li, I wouldn't accept her!"
Mo Boyu didn't know when he was pulled into this group, but when he saw these people's sarcasm, his face darkened.
Maybe he should have found a way to go to the birthday party with her last night!
After understanding what happened, Mo Boyu decisively chose to exit the group chat.
The next second, the eldest daughter of the Ji family sent him a private message, "Mr. Mo, why did you suddenly leave the group?"
Ji Shiwan met Mo Boyu at a cocktail party. They had a great conversation at the time. His distinguished background was enough to fascinate her.
Mo Boyu replied indifferently, "You are so eloquent that I am ashamed of myself."
How could Ji Shiwan not hear it?
"Do you think we're too gossipy? Actually, it's mainly because the scandal that Ning Yichu caused more than seven years ago was so sensational that we..."
Mo Boyu didn't read what Ji Shiwan sent next. He muted his phone directly, stood up abruptly, picked up the coat on the back of the chair, and strode out.
Just then, Delia came in to deliver some documents. She was dressed to the nines and beamed with joy, saying, "Boss Mo, our design department already has ideas for next season's new collection!"
"Leave it there." Mo Boyu said and left without stopping or even looking at her.
Delia was puzzled, but the next second she quickly followed him and said, "Mr. Mo, are you leaving? I want to report something else to you."
Mo Baiyou glanced at her impatiently. Delia twisted her slender waist and said, "It's about your newly hired Miss Ning! She didn't come to work today again. I asked the HR department, and she didn't ask for leave in advance. How can an employee like her be the head of the jade carving studio?"
Mo Boyu paused, turned his head and looked at her, "Are you here to complain?"
"No, no, no, I just don't want you to be deceived by such a talentless woman who comes to school late and leaves early."
"Delia, I'm very grateful that you gave up your career in Europe to come to the capital to help me expand my territory, but this doesn't mean I need to ask for your opinion on who to hire. Besides, I approved her leave. You previously spread rumors throughout the company, saying that she got in through the back door. I turned a blind eye to it. Don't let it happen again!"
Delia never expected Mo Boyu to defend Ning Yichu like this, and she never expected that he would care about such a trivial matter as gossip among employees.
For a moment, he was a little panicked and his face turned pale. He wanted to explain something, but Mo Boyu had already left.
…
Ten thirty in the morning.
Fan Yuke hurried over with Chen Bao, and was furious when he saw Ning Yichu's haggard appearance.
"It's all my fault. Why didn't I notice something was wrong with you when I picked you up last night?"
"I didn't think it was serious at the time, so don't blame yourself."
Fan Yuke grabbed her hand, his face full of worry. "What happened last night? I was in a group chat today and saw people discussing you and Li Lingyang..."
Ning Yichu understood instantly. With so many things going on and so many people attending the birthday party, "What are they discussing about me?"
Fan Yuke was annoyed with his own bad mouth and stammered, "Well, they have nothing better to do than talk nonsense all day long..."
"That doesn't seem like a good thing to say, but it's normal. There are people everywhere who want to laugh at me."
Just do your best and as long as she has a clear conscience, other people's opinions and views will not affect her life.
Her bottom line is just the children.
Ning Yichu calmly and briefly mentioned what happened at the banquet.
Fan Yuke covered her mouth in surprise, then burst into cursing, "Asshole! You were clearly pushed over there by Mu Bailang, but how did it get spread as if you deliberately seduced that pig-hoof Li Lingyang? Oh, and since you've already gone home, why did I come to see you last night?"
Ning Yichu was silent for a moment and looked at Chen Bao beside him.
"He got Ningning's sample without us knowing, and then did a paternity test..." There was a hint of worry in her tone.
"Oh my God!" Fan Yuke jumped up and down, covering her mouth exaggeratedly. "Is Li Lingyang a monster? He just found out Ningning's identity a few days ago, and he already got a paternity test? What are the results?"
"He probably took a blood sample to do the test..."
"Blood sample?" Chen Bao's dark eyes turned around. "I understand. Ningning received a bone marrow donation when she was critically ill. Therefore, her blood sample and the paternity test of her scumbag father do not match. He came to you in the middle of the night last night just to learn about Ningning's background."
"Smart." Ning Yichu praised without hesitation, then said with a bitter face, "But I'm afraid something might happen. So, Yu Ke, I want you to help me find out where he did the appraisal."
"Okay, leave it to me. I'll find someone to find out right away."
"And Chenbao, Li Lingyang's acumen is far beyond our imagination. Ningning should be safe for now. I'm afraid he'll turn his attention to you..."
Chen Bao's eyes flickered with a dark light. This scumbag father, he and Ning Ning were afraid that he would come to compare the paternity test, but despite all their precautions, he had already obtained the sample through other channels.
The little fists were clenched tightly, with a hint of anticipation.
If you want to deal with him, just come on!
