Qian Lailai thought of an excuse. She couldn't tell the truth. The impact of this matter was already huge. The school forum and Weibo were flooded with news about Wen Lu being kept by someone. She couldn't let Sun Xin know.
Regardless of Sun Xin's true identity, Qian Lailai felt that the fewer people who knew, the better. Although it might not be possible to keep it a secret for long, she could at least keep it a secret for as long as possible.
Sun Xin didn't think much of what Qian Lailai said. Remembering that Wen Lu's face had looked really bad yesterday, he told Qian Lailai Wen Lu's room number without hesitation and asked if she needed him to come pick her up.
The housekeeper had already prepared a car, and they could set off at any time once they knew the detailed address. Qian Lailai refused Sun Xin without even thinking about it.
Having obtained Wen Lu's room number, Qian Lailai immediately put on her coat with Yan Nuo and went to the Jinzhou Hotel with Butler Sun.
By this time, the rumors between Wen Lu and Ma Bochen had reached Ma Bochen's ears. Ma Bochen returned to his office and looked at the overwhelming news online about him keeping Wen Lu as his mistress, and gave a cold smile.
I don't know who has the audacity to make this kind of thing news. Do you think your master is someone who can spread rumors about?
Just as Ma Bochen was about to call the company's public relations department to handle the matter, his phone rang. Ma Bochen saw that it was Wen Lu calling and immediately answered the phone.
"Master Tao, I will handle the online issues immediately."
After connecting with Wen Lu on the phone, Ma Bochen spoke directly without waiting for Wen Lu to speak, saying that it was his negligence that had affected Wen Lu's reputation, and that it was his fault.
"No need to handle it. Go and make arrangements now. I need to see news of Wens Group's bankruptcy within three days."
Wen Lu was tired of playing these childish games with the Wen family. She had once spared the Wen family's life out of respect for Old Master Wen's kindness to the original owner, but she hadn't expected that the Wen family didn't need it at all. So, she shouldn't blame her for not showing any mercy.
Hearing Wen Lu's words, Ma Bochen was somewhat surprised. According to normal procedure, shouldn't the news be suppressed first, and then the follow-up matters be dealt with?
"Peach Master, this matter is actually easy to resolve. All I need to do is hold a press conference as the president of X Group, and the other party will take down these rumors themselves, which will clear your name."
Ma Bochen couldn't understand why Wen Lu didn't care about her reputation at all. This kind of thing would have a huge impact on her, after all, Wen Lu was still a student.
“There’s no need. You should resolve the Wen family’s matter first. I need to see news of the Wen family’s bankruptcy within three days. If the Lu family helps, then bring the Lu family along. At the same time, notify Lu Qiwen and tell him that if he wants to take back the Lu family, now is the best opportunity.”
At this moment, Wen Lu had no intention of giving the Wen family any chance to survive. From Wen Zhengnan to Su Yu and Wen Moyuan, she would not let any of them go. She wanted them to taste what it was like to lose everything.
Xiao family
Grandma Xiao, after reading the news online, angrily threw her tablet on the ground. She didn't believe a single word of those disgusting articles written by those public accounts; she simply couldn't believe that Wen Lu could be that kind of person.
She glared at the butler standing to the side, her eyes filled with ruthlessness.
When the housekeeper saw Old Madam Xiao, it was as if he saw her back when she was helping Mr. Xiao build the empire.
"How's the investigation I asked you to do going? Who dares to target Wen Lu like this? What is the Wen family doing now? Are they taking no action at all? Are they just going to sit idly by and watch Wen Lu be slandered?"
Just after Old Mrs. Xiao finished speaking, a man hurriedly walked in from outside. He was the person that Butler Xiao had arranged to investigate the matter.
The man, holding a document in his hand, walked up to Old Mrs. Xiao, respectfully handed it to her, and spoke in a very serious tone.
"Madam, the documents in this folder are the results of the investigation into this matter. All the rumors about Miss Wen were exposed online by a girl named Pei Shasha."
“Just twenty minutes ago, we found Pei Shasha. Under our interrogation, she confessed everything. She said that Su Yu asked her to do this. Su Yu promised her that as long as she published those pictures and articles online, she could create public opinion, destroy Wen Lu, and also free her from the identity of the bully.”
"When she did this, Su Yu gave her a sum of money to buy some public accounts and online forums, where she posted some restricted images and hired a lot of online trolls to create hype."
“I also have a recording here. She has admitted that all those pictures were photoshopped, except for the one of Miss Wen receiving the man’s card, which is real.”
"We haven't found out the man's identity yet. We can only wait to contact Ms. Wen and ask her if it's appropriate to disclose the man's identity."
The man's investigation went exceptionally smoothly, as if someone was guiding him to find Pei Shasha and Su Yu. However, he couldn't find any information about the man himself, which suggested that he must be someone not to be trifled with.
After hearing the man's report, Madam Xiao snorted coldly. She had previously thought that Su Yu was petty and uncouth, only daring to do small things behind people's backs.
Unexpectedly, Su Yu was so bold this time. If she had shown such courage elsewhere, she might have been more respectful. Unfortunately, her methods were always so despicable.
"Make arrangements to sever all cooperation with the Wens Group. Issue a public announcement that all companies that have cooperated with our company are not allowed to cooperate with the Wens Group. If a company has cooperative relationships with both sides, it should choose one side and terminate the cooperation. From today onwards, the Xiao Group will sever all ties with the Wen family."
"Publish all the information you've gathered online, including that recording of the girl surnamed Pei; that's very important to this matter."
"As for that young lady surnamed Pei, tell her that if she is willing to disclose Su Yu's actions at the press conference, our Xiao family will arrange for her to go abroad. But if she is unwilling, then send her directly to the police station. Her current behavior is grounds for prosecution."
Grandma Xiao stood up with great energy, thinking that now that her children had grown up, she could retire and enjoy her later years.
But she was wrong. She was now the only one who could protect Wen Lu. She couldn't retire yet; she had to become Wen Lu's strongest support.
"Butler, notify the company to hold a press conference at noon sharp. I want to see who dares to make a fuss on Wenlu's land while I'm here."
With that, Old Mrs. Xiao turned around and went upstairs to change her clothes. This time, she was determined to make the Wen family pay the price for offending Wen Lu.
