"What's wrong? What happened?" Lin Yue sat up abruptly, her heart leaping into her throat.
"We'll talk about it when we get home." Song Yunzheng gripped the steering wheel tightly with one hand and held Lin Yue's cold little hand with the other. Seeing her helpless look, he felt a pang of heartache.
All he could do was try his best to keep her out of the public eye and protect her as much as possible.
Once home, Lin Yue grabbed Song Yunzheng's hand without even taking off her shoes, wanting to get to the bottom of things.
Song Yunzheng calmly squatted down, helped her change her shoes, hung up her coat, and then led her to the bathroom to wash her hands.
"Go sit on the sofa and wait for me. I'll get some ointment to put on your face." After saying that, Song Yunzheng turned around and went into the bedroom.
Lin Yue's gaze followed Song Yunzheng intently. She desperately wanted to know what had happened, yet she was also afraid to find out. She had to admit that her inner strength wasn't as formidable as she thought.
When he came out, Song Yunzheng had already changed into his home clothes and was holding a tube of ointment in his hand. He slowly walked over and sat down next to Lin Yue.
"Don't panic or be afraid about anything I'm about to tell you. Please believe that I have the ability to handle this properly, okay?" Song Yunzheng said softly as he carefully applied ointment to her face.
"Mm!" Lin Yue nodded slightly.
"Your mother's indecent video at the Hilton... has been exposed. Furthermore, your father's infidelity during the marriage has also been completely revealed, all of which were anonymously sent to major media outlets via email."
"And then?" Lin Yue stared intently into Song Yunzheng's eyes, her hands unconsciously clenching her clothes.
"The anonymous email sender's target isn't your parents, but you and me."
"Targeting you and me? Then why expose my parents' dirty secrets?"
"You need to understand that you are the daughter-in-law of the Song family. As long as you are related to the Song family, the things that happened to your parents will be magnified infinitely and spread rapidly, directly affecting the reputation of the Song family and Chengye. Therefore, the whistleblower's purpose is obvious: to make the Song family avoid you like the plague. As long as I sever ties with you, these things will become worthless in terms of public opinion, and at most, they will just be an ordinary case."
"Draw a line between us?" Hearing this, Lin Yue tensed up. She slowly lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes concealing the panic in them. "Then... do you want to draw a line between us?" Her voice, barely audible, was full of worry.
Song Yunzheng curled his lips into a smile. "The whistleblower may not understand my style. When have I ever been afraid of these things? The Song family is even less afraid!"
He gently poked Lin Yue's forehead with his finger. "What are you thinking? Didn't you promise me earlier that you would trust me to handle it?"
Lin Yue finally looked up, her bright eyes shining again. She smiled and nodded, "I believe you!" Before she finished speaking, she quickly threw herself into Song Yunzheng's arms, "Honey, I'm so sorry for causing you so much trouble. You already have a hard time at work, and you still have to worry about all this mess with my parents..."
"No need to apologize, you didn't do anything wrong. Besides, you're my wife, who else should I worry about if not you?" Song Yunzheng gently stroked her back, his tender gestures like coaxing a child.
Lin Yue nestled in his warm embrace, her arms tightly wrapped around his neck, wishing she could stay with him forever.
"Honey, you're so good to me, how can I ever repay you?"
Give me a kiss.
Lin Yue quickly sat up straight, cupped his face and kissed him, smearing ointment all over his face in the process.
——
Under Song Yunzheng's insistence, Lin Yue rested at home for two days until her face was completely healed and her ears were no longer abnormal before she was allowed to go back to work.
In the marketing department, Mai Dong had just finished reporting to Song Yunxi when she came downstairs. "Yueyue, Ms. Song wants you to go to her office."
"Huh? Now?"
“Yes, now, stop what you're doing and go quickly.” Mai Dong snatched the documents from her hand.
"Oh, okay."
Lin Yue took the elevator directly to the top floor. As soon as the elevator doors opened, she saw several assistants sitting in the secretary's office. She didn't dare to look around and walked straight towards the president's office without glancing to either side.
I raised my hand and knocked on the door, "Knock knock knock..."
"Please come in."
Lin Yue pushed open the door and entered. "Yunxi, what do you want to see me about?"
Song Yunxi was processing documents when she heard Lin Yue's voice. She quickly put down the documents in her hand, got up and walked over. "Sister-in-law, it's my brother's birthday this weekend. I'm planning to celebrate it properly for him. I was wondering if you have any good ideas?"
Birthday? Lin Yue was stunned. She had no idea it was Song Yunzheng's birthday! Luckily, Yunxi reminded her in time, otherwise the old man would have been so disappointed.
"Uh, I have no objections. You can arrange it as you see fit, and I'll cooperate fully." Lin Yue chuckled awkwardly to cover up her unease.
“Okay, I’m going to surprise him and invite some of his close friends. I can give this task to Tang Shiting; their social circles are about the same.” Song Yunxi paused briefly, crossed her arms, and circled around Lin Yue. “Sister-in-law, would you mind if I gave you to my brother as a surprise?”
Huh? The surprise was me? Lin Yue smiled and shook her head, "Of course I don't mind."
"Okay, then I'll pick you up at No. 1 Courtyard on Saturday afternoon. Remember, don't let my brother know, it'll be a surprise!"
Lin Yue smiled and gave an OK sign. "You can rest assured about what I do."
——
Doctors don't have weekends. Before leaving home in the morning, Song Yunzheng repeatedly told Lin Yue, "Don't wander off. If you want to go out and play, have Song Yunxi accompany you."
