Chapter 20 The Truth About the Champagne Tower
The next day.
When Fu Beichen opened his eyes, the blinding sunlight was already streaming in through the porthole.
It was already past nine in the morning.
He patted his head, and the last image that lingered in his mind was Gu Xingnian's beautiful little face, along with her cries and rejections.
She actually dared to drug him and run away?
Oh.
Fu Beichen twitched the corners of his mouth, and a low hum escaped his throat.
That's interesting.
He got up, went into the bathroom to take a shower, changed into a well-fitting custom-made suit, and opened the cabin door.
Lin Qi was already waiting respectfully outside the door.
"Good morning, Mr. Fu."
Lin Qi bowed slightly and handed over a cell phone.
"Your phone has received a total of 73 missed calls since last night, all of which were from... Ms. Jiang."
Fu Beichen took the phone, looked at the dense list of missed calls on the screen, and frowned almost imperceptibly.
"What happened?" His voice was hoarse from just waking up, but still cold.
Lin Qi didn't dare to delay and immediately handed over the tablet computer in his hand.
On the screen were several explosive news items about Jiang Kexin.
[#Jiang Kexin Gu Shaoheng#]
[#ShengWeiweiSlapsJiangKexin#]
[#Jiang Kexin's Character Collapses#]
Every headline is shocking.
"The news broke in the middle of the night, and the discussion volume has already exceeded 100 million," Lin Qi quickly reported. "The related videos and photos... are all very clear. Currently, at least ten brands have announced that they have unilaterally terminated their contracts with Ms. Jiang, and her studio's phone has been ringing off the hook."
For a female celebrity who relies on her looks and public image, this is undoubtedly a devastating blow.
Jiang Kexin's career will suffer an unprecedented setback.
Fu Beichen's gaze swept over the offensive headlines and photos, and his brows furrowed.
This Sheng Weiwei is really ruthless; she even dares to touch his people. Isn't this a public slap in his face?
As you scroll down, you'll find another trending topic at the bottom of the screen.
[#Fu Family Anniversary Celebration: Mysterious Beauty Stuns the Audience with Blind Playing#]
The accompanying photo is a side profile shot, with hazy lighting that highlights the woman's delicate and beautiful jawline and the image of her playing the piano with her eyes closed.
It was none other than Gu Xingnian.
Fu Beichen's gaze lingered on the photo for two extra seconds.
He then looked away, returned the tablet to Lin Qi, and gave the order in a detached tone.
"Have them remove all the trending topics!"
"Yes." Lin Qi quickly agreed, but his heart was a little pounding. It seemed that the boss was still too soft-hearted.
If the Fu family intervenes, Jiang Kexin can still be brought back to life.
bite!
Lin Qi suddenly remembered something and quickly reported, "I received this video in the middle of the night."
Lin Qi handed the tablet over again.
The video shows Jiang Kexin "accidentally" bumping into the table, causing the champagne tower to fall and almost injuring Gu Xingnian. The video was filmed in high definition.
The second half was also clearly filmed, showing Fu Beichen and Lu Lie rushing to save Gu Xingnian. He anxiously reached out to block the glass shards that were flying towards Gu Xingnian's face first.
Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Then, Lu Lie arrived and pulled her into his arms...
Fu Beichen's eyes suddenly turned cold, as if they had been frozen.
Jiang Kexin is getting bolder and bolder; how dare she act so blatantly?
If this video gets out, she will never be able to recover.
If he hadn't blocked it in time, Gu Xingnian would have been disfigured, right?
Although he didn't love Gu Xingnian, he couldn't let Jiang Kexin do whatever she wanted.
Thinking about this, he couldn't help but feel a chill of fear.
Looks like he'll have to ignore her for a bit!
The car drove smoothly back to the city, and the air pressure inside the car was even lower.
Lin Qi's phone rang again; it was the old house calling.
He answered the call for a few minutes, then hung up with a serious expression. He turned to Fu Beichen in the back seat and repeated the message word by word.
"Mr. Fu, we received a call from the old mansion. The old man instructed you... not to interfere in Miss Jiang's matter this time."
Fu Beichen leaned back in his chair, closing his eyes to rest, and didn't even lift his eyelids when he heard this.
Lin Qi paused for a moment, then continued, "In addition, the old man wants you and...madam to come back to the old house for dinner tonight."
Lin Qi pronounced the word "wife" with exceptional clarity.
Fu Beichen finally opened his eyes, his gaze deep and unreadable.
He did not respond to the old house's orders.
Just then, Fu Beichen's personal cell phone rang.
The words "Jiang Kexin" appeared on the screen.
He stared at the screen for a few seconds, his fingertips twitched slightly, and finally he swiped to answer the call.
"Brother Beichen! You finally answered the phone!"
Immediately, Jiang Kexin's hysterical, tearful voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Did you see the news? It was Sheng Weiwei and Gu Xingnian who framed me! Please help me, Brother Beichen. Only you can help me now, otherwise, my career will be ruined."
Her voice was sharp and urgent, filled with fear and dependence.
"If you just step forward and tell everyone I'm your woman, all those rumors will fall apart! Brother Beichen, please..."
Fu Beichen listened to her incoherent sobs, his face expressionless, his voice cold and devoid of warmth.
"I'll handle this."
His tone was calm and even, yet it carried an undeniable decisiveness.
"You should stay away from home for the next few days and not go out."
After saying that, he hung up the phone without waiting for Jiang Kexin to say anything more.
A few seconds later, the phone rang frantically again; it was Jiang Kexin again.
Fu Beichen didn't even look at it, immediately muted the phone, and tossed it aside.
In the past, he would have acted immediately; those he protected wouldn't have needed anyone else to make a move.
But after watching the video of her hurting Gu Xingnian, he actually wavered!
Just as Fu Beichen arrived at the Fu Group building, his phone received a picture and a message.
The photo shows Jiang Kexin completely soaked, with her eyes closed, conveying a poignant beauty.
"Young Master Fu, please save my Xin'er! She attempted suicide by drowning. She's on the third floor of the Central Hospital, receiving emergency treatment."
Fu Beichen paused for two seconds, then slammed his fist on the car door.
With a loud bang, the driver and Lin Qi flinched in fright.
"Go to the Central Hospital."
"yes."
He closed his eyes tightly, his fists clenched. Why was he hesitating? He should have helped her immediately.
If it weren't for her, I would have perished at sea four years ago...
A deep sense of self-reproach washed over him, instantly restoring his rationality.
He said he would protect her for the rest of his life, and he shouldn't break his promise.
Ten minutes later, the prestigious Rolls-Royce arrived at the entrance of the Central Hospital, and Fu Beichen strode inside.
Upon arriving at the ward, I heard faint sobbing coming from inside.
Wang Huilan pounded her chest and cried out loudly, calling out Jiang Kexin's name.
"My poor daughter, how could you do such a stupid thing? What are you going to do, your mother? What are you going to do, the Jiang family? What is more important than life?"
"Four years ago, you jumped into the sea to save someone, and your mother almost lost you. How dare you do it again?"
"Are you trying to kill me? My dear, my dear! Mommy will never force you to do things you don't like again. Mommy was wrong!"
? ? ?
Fu Beichen's heart tightened. Was he too late?
