Chapter 371: Absolutely Unscrupulous
The next day, Jiang Yao received a new investor in the laboratory. The negotiations between the two parties went smoothly. As the contract was about to be signed, she invited Lan Qiuru in as well.
After all, my mother is now a major shareholder of the laboratory and she also has the right to make decisions.
But when she entered the reception room, the investor's expression changed again and again, and he suddenly changed his tone, "Well, I suddenly remembered that there are some contract details that need to be revised. Let's not sign the contract today for the time being!"
The other party's change of mind came suddenly.
Lan Qiuru didn't even react.
"Mr. Xi, do you have any concerns? Feel free to tell me directly." Jiang Yao immediately asked.
The investor's expression was complicated, but ultimately, out of recognition of Jiang Yao, he slowly said, "Ms. Jiang, I actually do believe in and recognize your abilities, but investing requires caution, especially when you have a partner who is... not very reliable. I need to think carefully."
The implication is already obvious.
Judging from his reaction when he saw Lan Qiuru, he must be referring to her.
But now Jiang Yao felt even more confused.
Although my mother's fame is not well-known in China, her reputation has deepened abroad. She has led the team to win one project after another, and her ability is unquestionable.
Why do people still say this?
After the investor finished speaking, he nodded at her and left.
"Yaoyao, have I caused you any trouble?" Lan Qiuru began to doubt herself.
"No, Mom, there must be something going on that we don't understand." Jiang Yao had a bad feeling in his heart.
As a result, at this time, a phone call came in.
It turned out to be Qin Jinxiu, who I hadn’t contacted for a while.
The call was connected, and the tone on the other end was a little anxious. "Yaoyao, have you seen the latest hot news on the Internet? It's about my aunt. The matter has fermented. It's too late to delete the content now. Can you see any countermeasures-"
While he was talking, Jiang Yao had already opened Weibo to check, and the first trending search was - exposing the private life of a well-known female scientist.
When I clicked on it, I saw that a marketing account had uploaded nine photos in a row. The photos were clearly of Lan Qiuru with various foreign men when she was abroad.
Some were hugging, some were chatting happily, and some were shot from extremely tricky angles, looking like they were kissing.
Each photo shows a different man, which shocked netizens.
In particular, this marketing account also exposed Lan Qiuru's past experiences, from her studying abroad to her later achievements, and finally even her life experience was exposed.
She also said in an extremely exaggerated tone that she was the adopted daughter of the Lan family. She was not liked by her family members on weekdays, but she used the family's resources to add halo to herself, moving between various men and having multiple relationships at the same time.
The marketing account spoke in a tone as if they had witnessed everything with their own eyes, and their descriptions were very convincing.
Netizens love to gossip when they are bored. If they all rush in, won’t the topic become a hot topic?
What the marketing account wants to express is that the reason why Lan Qiuru has achieved so many achievements in the field of scientific research over the years is all because she has been associated with bigwigs from various industries.
Jiang Yao was so angry that his face turned blue after reading this.
"I'll find a way to deal with these things. I'll hang up now."
She turned off her phone and looked at her mother beside her. "Don't worry, Mom. I will definitely find out who is behind this and clear your name."
Lan Qiuru, the person involved, didn't seem particularly angry. "Actually, I have a rough idea of who did it. I've been abroad for so many years and have some understanding of my daily life. The only person I have a grudge against is that person."
"You mean, An Heng?" A hint of coldness flashed in Jiang Yao's eyes.
"He's a petty and vindictive person. After what happened yesterday, I guessed he wouldn't let it go, and now it seems to be true." Lan Qiuru also found it quite ironic. "I just didn't expect him to actually spread obscene rumors about me."
"Mom, don't worry, I will investigate it thoroughly and make him pay the price for his actions." Jiang Yao made up his mind and contacted Li Beiting to start investigating An Heng.
However, when she returned home in the evening, she realized that she had overlooked something.
"That's too much!" Old Master Jiang was so angry that his face turned blue. "Who on earth would dare to spread such rumors about my Jiang family's daughter? She is the apple of our family's eye. Why should she allow outsiders to make such malicious speculations and humiliate her?"
Old Mrs. Jiang was so emotional that her eyes were red. "My daughter was just found and hasn't even had a chance to enjoy her leisurely days yet, and now she's being bullied like this!"
The two elders of the Jiang family had obviously also seen the news online, and they were both very angry.
If possible, they really wanted to immediately disclose Lan Qiuru's identity as the daughter of the Jiang family to see if anyone else dared to slander her like this.
But they also understood that if they did so, the people who wanted to harm her back then might come back to attack her.
This kind of thing is hard to prevent. They can't hurt their daughter because of a momentary impulse. They must be more cautious.
"But we can't just stand by and watch Qiu Ru being slandered like this. Can we ask the Lan family to come forward and help clarify things?" Old Mrs. Jiang suggested.
Jiang Yao shook her head upon hearing this. "I asked my mother, and she said that the Lan family parents who adopted her are now old and have settled abroad to enjoy their retirement. She doesn't want to trouble them again for this matter. As for other relatives..."
Her mother told her that her relationship with her elder sister Lan Yun had always been not good.
She definitely wouldn't come forward to explain for her.
As for the second sister, Qin Jinxiu's mother, she has always been caught in a dilemma between the two sisters.
Letting her come forward would inevitably lead to a family quarrel.
Therefore, the mother did not want to trouble the Lan family. After all, they adopted her and gave her a chance to live again. She was already very grateful in her heart and could not ask for too much.
The Jiang family members are all sensible and naturally will not force anything.
But if we ask these foreign bigwigs in the photo to help clarify the matter, netizens will definitely not believe it.
"Grandpa and grandma, don't worry too much. I have already figured out this matter and there will be results soon." Jiang Yao assured them in a confident tone.
After she said this, the two old people felt relieved.
The next day, Li Beiting showed Jiang Yao the information he had obtained about An Heng.
After reading the detailed information above, Jiang Yao was stunned and shocked.
This An Heng's actions were simply beyond her expectations.
Jiang Yao sneered, "Very good. Since he has repeatedly targeted my mother, this time I will also bring him down to pieces, leaving him with no chance of recovery."
After she finished speaking, she contacted the media and reporters.
