"But I didn't do anything wrong. She was the one who was rude to me first! Does that mean she can slander others at will just because she's of noble status?"
Chu Tianche looked at Chen Xiaoru, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes. He stood up, walked to the French window, turned his back to Chen Xiaoru, and said in a low voice:
"This is how society is. Sometimes, people with power can do whatever they want."
Chen Xiaoru was silent. She knew that what Chu Tianche said was true, but she couldn't accept this reality. She was unwilling to be slandered by Su Qing like this, and she wanted to seek justice for herself.
"So what should I do now?"
Chen Xiaoru raised her head, a hint of expectation in her eyes, "Boss Chu, can you help me?"
Chu Tianche turned around and his eyes fell on Chen Xiaoru's face. He was silent for a moment and said slowly:
"I'll take care of this. Don't worry, just focus on your work."
Chen Xiaoru looked at Chu Tianche, and a warm feeling surged in her heart. She knew that Chu Tianche's words were a reassurance. She nodded and said softly:
"Thank you, Mr. Chu."
Chu Tianche smiled slightly, and his tone became gentle.
"Okay, leave this matter to me. Go back to work first, and remember, don't be affected by these rumors."
Chen Xiaoru took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She bowed to Chu Tianche, turned around and left the office.
However, as time passed, Chen Xiaoru did not wait for the result of Chu Tianche's handling, but instead waited for new rumors.
This time the rumors were even more outrageous. Some even said that she not only seduced Chu Tianche, but also had affairs with several other male colleagues in the company.
Chen Xiaoru couldn't stand it anymore. She stood up suddenly and walked to the tea room, only to find several female colleagues gathered together, whispering. When they saw her come in, they immediately fell silent, their eyes full of contempt and disdain.
Chen Xiaoru clenched her fists, her nails digging deep into her flesh. She walked to the water dispenser and filled a glass of water. The cold water slid down her throat, but it couldn't extinguish the anger in her heart.
“That’s enough!”
Chen Xiaoru slammed the water cup on the table, making a loud noise that scared several female colleagues.
"I know what you say about me behind my back!"
Chen Xiaoru's voice was trembling slightly, but she was remarkably firm. "I will never admit to anything I didn't do! If you have any evidence, bring it out! Don't gossip about me behind my back!"
Several female colleagues looked at each other. One of them, who usually had a good relationship with Su Qing, said sarcastically:
"Hey, Chen Xiaoru, why are you so excited? We haven't said anything, are you confessing?"
"you!"
Chen Xiaoru was furious and was about to step forward to argue when she heard a cold voice behind her: "What's going on?"
Chen Xiaoru turned around and saw Chu Tianche standing at the door of the tea room with a gloomy face and eyes as sharp as a knife.
