Meanwhile, various editors, browsers, and short video platforms promoted this incident, and Mu Zeyu became famous. After all, the only one whose bizarre behavior of secretly meeting his lover on New Year's Eve was exposed was probably the young master Mu.
Now everyone knows that Ji Pengfei's daughter has been cheated on.
The reason things escalated to such a huge extent was partly due to Ji Zhinan acting as a behind-the-scenes manipulator and helping them, but also partly due to Mu Zeyu's own actions.
The Mu family has been developing better and better in the past two years. As the future heir of the Mu family, Mu Zeyu has been frequently appearing in the media and public eye, especially in the past year. He often brings Ji Zhixia to various occasions and parties, and the two always show their affection in front of the media.
They did this to bind the Mu and Ji families tightly together. Ji Zhixia knew that Ji Zhinan still "liked" Mu Zeyu, and she wanted to openly show their affection to "annoy" Ji Zhinan, so she naturally worked very hard.
So much so that anyone who uses the internet, whether they are adults in their forties or fifties or teenagers, knows that Ji Zhixia and Mu Zeyu are an incredibly loving couple. They often show off their affection, and both of them come from privileged backgrounds and are a perfect match for each other in every way. They are simply a match made in heaven.
Their public display of affection even caused Mu's stock to rise.
The better the persona they cultivated in the beginning, the more serious their downfall will be now.
The story spread like wildfire, and it escalated to this point.
After being yelled at by Ji Pengfei, Mu Daxiang's face stiffened.
In the past, he would have turned his back and left long ago, but Ji Pengfei is different now. His Pengfei Group has a major cooperation with Greenland Group, and the Mu family can get a little profit from it than from cooperating with an ordinary company.
The Ji family still has value to us, so we absolutely cannot turn against them now.
Mu Daxiang quickly composed himself and spoke reasonably: "Pengfei, there are always some unnecessary misunderstandings between young people. You know what the media is like; they can magnify even the smallest mistake a hundred or a thousand times. You've watched our Zeyu grow up; do you not know what kind of temper he has? He's so devoted to Xiaxia; if Xiaxia tells him to go east, he wouldn't dare go west. Do you really want to believe the media's hype and not your own son-in-law whom you've watched over for so many years?"
"..."
Seeing that Ji Pengfei's expression was somewhat wavering, Mu Daxiang continued, "The matter hasn't been clarified yet. Why are we family members arguing? Our two families have known each other for over ten years and have always cooperated with the Ji family. When you left the Ji family and severely damaged the Pengfei Group, didn't I, Mu Daxiang, support you without hesitation? Brother Pengfei, if you turn your back on me without even knowing the facts, I, Mu Daxiang, am truly heartbroken!"
Madam Mu quickly added fuel to the fire, saying, "Yes, yes, Ji Pengfei, Gou Xiuqin, Da Xiang and I have always treated Xia Xia as our own daughter. You can tell by looking at my attitude towards Ji Zhinan and then at how we treat Xia Xia. Now that something has happened, we should talk things over and resolve the matter properly. But this is the attitude you have shown us. It really hurts our hearts!"
"..."
Originally, Mu Zeyu was caught cheating by the media, but now Mu Daxiang and his wife are going back and forth, completely reversing right and wrong. Mu Zeyu is trying to explain, but the Ji family is being unreasonable and refusing to listen to his explanations.
Seeing that they were gaining the upper hand, Mu Daxiang coughed and cleverly gave Ji Pengfei a way out.
I've caught a cold, and I feel awful. Please take good care of yourselves, everyone! One more chapter, I'll write it later.
