After finishing their meal, Mr. and Mrs. Chi left first.
"Uncle and aunt, I want to take Yaoyao to choose a ring or something." Chi Ye said sincerely to Su Le and Li Zichen with a smile on his face.
"Okay." Su Le and Li Zichen nodded with a smile, their eyes full of blessings for the young couple.
Li Chuyang watched them leave, turned around and said, "Then I'll go back to work."
The four did not stop him, but just told him to get some rest.
Li Chuyang was driving halfway when his cell phone suddenly rang. He picked up the phone and asked, "What's wrong?"
On the other end of the phone, Lin Yue's voice was filled with urgency: "Hurry up and read the news."
A wave of doubt welled up in Li Chuyang's heart. He opened his phone and browsed the news, only to be instantly shocked by the content. For some unknown sinister purpose, the Ye family had launched a devastating propaganda offensive. They had used every possible means on major social media and online platforms to spread the story, claiming with conviction that Li Chuyang had raped Ye Yashi and had taken no responsibility for her pregnancy. They also implicated the Su Group, Li Chuyang, and Li Xueyao's gaming company.
The Ye family hired a large number of online trolls to post all kinds of false statements and so-called "evidence" online. For a time, the Internet was filled with all kinds of disgusting remarks, which pushed Li Chuyang to the forefront of public opinion like a surging wave.
These rumors spread rapidly, severely damaging not only Li Chuyang's personal image and reputation but also his gaming company. Partners who had been interested in collaborating with him pulled their investments, employees became distraught, and the company's business stagnated, facing a massive crisis.
As for the Su Group, since Li Chuyang was Su Le's nominal son, this negative news also affected the Su Group. Some partners began to question the Su Group's corporate image, some business collaborations were hindered, and the stock price fluctuated.
Chi Ye and his mother saw the news on their way home and became worried. They knew that this might have a negative impact on Chi Ye and Li Xueyao's marriage.
After returning to the Chi family, Chi's father and mother urgently summoned family members to discuss the matter.
"Now that the Su family has encountered such a problem, should we reconsider our marriage with them?" An elder was the first to express his opinion.
"You can't say that. Maybe this is just a conspiracy of the Ye family. We can't deny the Su family because of this." Father Chi said with a frown.
"But this matter has a huge impact. If our family insists on marrying into the Su family, it might affect our reputation and business." Another member echoed.
Chi Ye listened to their discussion over the phone call from his father, his face gloomy. "I don't care about any influence. I just know that I like Xue Yao and I will marry her. This matter can't be a reason to hinder our marriage."
Mother Chi felt sorry for her son, but she was also worried about the interests of the family: "Ye'er, this is not just your problem, it concerns the entire family."
Father Chi pondered for a moment: "First, let's see the Su family's attitude and response measures, and then make a decision. But no matter what, we can't give up the friendship with the Su family easily."
Chi Ye hung up the phone and continued to accompany Li Xueyao to choose a ring. However, Li Xueyao's face turned pale when she received the news from her family. She was worried that the Chi family would oppose their marriage because of this incident, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Chi Ye held her hand tightly and comforted her: "Don't worry, I won't let anyone destroy our happiness."
Su Le was extremely worried and called Li Chuyang, his tone anxious and firm: "Find your divorce certificate! I hope you will not show mercy. They are doing this simply because they don't want the Chi family to form an alliance with us, and they want to force a marriage. You know how much Yaoyao likes Chi Ye. You can't let the Chi family look down on your sister because of you!"
Li Chuyang's face was sinister, and he gritted his teeth and said, "How dare they touch my bottom line? I will never let them go!"
He dug out the long-forgotten divorce certificate and thoroughly investigated Ye Yashi's purpose in approaching him. He felt disgusted after taking a look at Ye Yashi's information and handed it all over to his professional team of lawyers.
The Ye family was held legally responsible for defamation. Lawyers carefully examined every piece of false information released by the Ye family and prepared sufficient litigation materials.
Li Chuyang's public relations team immediately released a lawyer's letter on the platform, stating that they would pursue the matter to the end.
Throughout this process, Li Chuyang's family also gave him their full support. Chen Xiao, Qin Bei, and Yu Nan used their connections to help Li Chuyang contact media friends, attempting to shift public opinion through positive coverage. Chi Ye also contributed to this.
As the evidence gradually became clearer, public opinion began to shift. Some rational netizens began to doubt the authenticity of the Ye family's statements and stopped blindly accusing Li Chuyang.
However, the Ye family did not give up. They continued to spread rumors and even threatened Li Chuyang. But Li Chuyang did not back down. He had practiced fighting for so long and was not a pushover.
Finally, in court, Li Chuyang's legal team, with sufficient evidence, forcefully refuted the Ye family's defamation allegations. The court ordered the Ye family to publicly apologize to Li Chuyang and assume the corresponding legal responsibilities.
The public opinion storm finally subsided, Li Chuyang's reputation was restored, and his company gradually got out of the predicament.
The Su Le family did not cancel the engagement between the two families because of this. Chi Ye even helped to promote it, which further impressed them. Li Xueyao will have a good husband.
The Ye family then faced a combined attack from nine companies. In Chen Xiao's eyes, the small company was considered a medium-sized company. The large company collapsed overnight, and Ye's father was burdened with a huge debt.
Ye Ya Shi went to Li Chuyang's company in a depressed state and waited in the garage downstairs. When she saw Li Chuyang's car, she rushed forward.
"Husband, I was wrong. I know I was wrong. It was my father's request that forced me to do it. It wasn't my intention. Please forgive me for An An's sake?" Ye Ya Shi said with snot running down her face while grabbing Li Chuyang's trouser legs.
Li Chuyang pulled back his leg indifferently, "You have nothing to do with An An." He raised his leg and walked into the company.
Ye Yashi was also stopped outside by Xiao Liu. She could only watch Li Chuyang walk into the elevator. Feeling lost, she returned to the house that Li Chuyang had left for her.
Ye's father went looking for his lover, but she sneered and drove him out, saying that the child was not his illegitimate child, but someone else's. Ye's father was furious and beat her to death. He hurriedly found Ye Yashi's house.
When Ye Yashi saw her father, she was subconsciously scared and wanted to escape. However, her father caught her and forced her to sell all her houses and cars. He then sold her to a nightclub and absconded with the money.
But he ran so fast that he didn't notice he was heading to Burma. He met a tragic end.
