While the Fu family was filled with joy and harmony, the Qin family's happy occasion ended abruptly, and the entire family began to be shrouded in gloom.
Although the Qin family tried their best to suppress the news and prevent the scandal from being publicized in a more outrageous way, a few days after the wedding, Qin Lang was still summoned for a talk by his superiors, who essentially said that this matter would affect his career.
Once home, there was no sweetness of newlywed life at all. Seeing Meng Ruya reminded him of the whispers and gossip from his colleagues behind his back.
Seeing that he looked unwell, Madam Qin asked him a few words of concern.
"What's wrong? Having trouble at work?"
"There's no hope for a promotion," Qin Lang said dejectedly.
He had waited several years for this opportunity, and it seemed like he was about to succeed, but at the last moment, he failed.
"Didn't you say there was a high chance this time?" Old Master Qin asked nervously.
Qin Lang rubbed his temples in dejection. "The wedding turned out so ugly, and several projects of my brother's company have recently been exposed to have problems. The family background of political figures has a great influence."
Upon hearing this, Madam Qin glared angrily at Meng Ruya.
"Now that's settled, are you satisfied?"
Meng Ruya pursed her lips, not daring to argue.
She never expected something like that to happen at the wedding, and it even affected his promotion.
After thinking for a moment, Old Master Qin made a suggestion.
"Why don't we call Xiaoman and see if she has any other ideas? She has a wider network of connections."
After thinking for a moment, Qin Lang decided to make an overseas call to Qin Man.
Although Qin Man is a woman, she surpasses others in this circle in both her work and her connections.
Qin Man answered the phone and said casually.
"What is it? Speak quickly. It's the middle of the night, I don't have time to chat with you."
"Xiao Man, it seems there's been a problem with this promotion. Do you know anyone who can put in a good word for you?" Qin Lang asked.
Qin Man snorted coldly after hearing this.
"The scandal from your wedding has even reached me. Do you think there's any hope left?"
Although she was not in the country, she had heard rumors in the past two days, but she had already decided not to get involved in family matters, so she hadn't called to ask.
They invited many colleagues to their wedding, and the news had already spread throughout the circle. Even though she was overseas, she heard gossip about it from people at the embassy.
Some people even asked her for the truth.
Qin Lang remained silent for a moment, then tentatively asked.
"You have absolutely no other ideas?"
"No, it's the path I chose. Whether it's good or bad, I'll just have to accept it." Qin Man showed no concern or sympathy whatsoever.
She was so opposed to him being with Meng Ruya back then, but he wouldn't listen, nor would his family, and they even argued with her several times.
Now that they know Meng Ruya is no good, they've lost face and their future, and only now do they realize they were right, but it's all too late.
Seeing Qin Lang's somber expression, Madam Qin took the phone and said...
"Xiaoman, this promotion is very important to your brother. Think of a way to help him."
"There's nothing I can do. I was so against this wedding back then, but you wouldn't listen. Now you suddenly want to listen to me." Qin Man remained unmoved.
When Madam Qin heard that she didn't intend to get involved, she became a little anxious.
“Xiaoman, Ruya was wrong in this matter, but it was your sister-in-law who deliberately made things this way.”
"She has the brains and the information to blackmail you for money. What good will it do her to cause such a scene at the wedding?" Qin Man retorted coldly.
This whole affair was orchestrated by someone behind the scenes who didn't want Qin Lang to take the position.
