"It's just a mutually beneficial arrangement, no need for thanks."
Qin Yiheng knew that this matter had nothing to do with Chen Xintong, so he naturally wouldn't hold it against her: "Let's go."
After saying that, he rolled up the car window.
Chen Xintong watched his car drive out of the Chen family home before turning around and walking into the villa.
Looking at the group of elders, Chen Xintong's lips curled into a sarcastic smile: "Tomorrow's news will probably be about the Chen Group's business crisis, its attempt to solve the problem through marriage, only to be humiliated... Are you all satisfied?"
The men of the Chen family looked extremely grim.
"If you had broken up with us, you should have told us sooner. Would our family have lost so much face?" Madam Chen felt too ashamed to even go out and see anyone.
Chen Xintong said bluntly, "Breaking up is normal in relationships. You were the ones who made the mistake. Is it so hard to admit your mistake?"
"Ahem, I think Xintong, you should stay home and come to the banquet with us. As for your company in Changteng City, let your younger brother manage it for you; there won't be any problems," Madam Chen said to Chen Xintong in a tone that seemed to be doing her a favor.
Madam Chen nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, yes. Asking your two younger brothers to help is no problem, since they're all family."
Family? Thank you?
Chen Xintong was so angry at their shamelessness that she laughed.
She looked at the head of the family, Old Master Chen, and solemnly said, "Grandpa, I hope this is the last time if you still acknowledge me as your granddaughter."
After these words were spoken, the living room fell silent.
Chen Xintong didn't look at the crowd again, and turned to leave.
After she left, Madam Chen pointed angrily towards the door: "What kind of attitude is that? Is that how she treats her elders?"
"I think she's just taking advantage of owning her own company and doesn't respect anyone anymore. She's gotten too big for her britches..."
Before Madam Chen could finish speaking, she was interrupted by the sound of Old Master Chen's cane striking the ground hard, and immediately fell silent.
Old Master Chen shouted sternly, "Shut up, all of you! You only care about her little things, and you have no skills of your own. Even if you were given mountains of gold and silver, you would squander them all!"
Hmph, you two need to explain Xintong's marriage to someone clearly tomorrow. I don't want to hear any rumors, understand?
Instead of focusing on Xintong, you should put that same effort into your son. Don't let them be easily swayed by sweet talk, giving in to their every whim and ultimately ruining them!
After saying that, Old Master Chen got up, leaning on his cane, and went back to his room.
The Chen family men: "..."
Madam Chen the Second and Madam Chen the Third: "..."
After leaving home, Chen Xintong checked into the nearest star-rated hotel.
She instructed her secretary to contact reporters and hold a press conference at the hotel tomorrow to personally clarify the Chen family's wedding preparations.
but.
Plans can't keep up with changes.
At 2 a.m., news of the marriage alliance between the Qin family and the Chen family of the capital city broke almost simultaneously on major social media platforms.

Are there fairy tales in marriages within wealthy families? The eldest daughter of the Chen family tells you.

[A novel becomes reality: A down-on-her-luck heiress marries a domineering CEO to save her family business]
[...]
The numerous news articles all sound very similar, indicating that they are being manipulated by online trolls.
Not only were there news reports, but also a photo of Chen Xintong and Qin Yiheng together.
Judging from her attire in the photo, it was at a banquet last year, where Chen Xintong attended as Qin Yiheng's date. It was at this banquet that Qin Yiheng introduced Chen Xintong as his girlfriend.
The two are a perfect match, and they look very pleasing to the eye when they stand together.
A wave of envious comments has emerged across major social media platforms.
Many people are wondering whether they should envy Chen Xintong or Qin Yiheng.
???
The next morning.
Chen Xintong had just gotten up when she received a call from her secretary, only to find out that the news of the marriage between the Chen and Qin families was everywhere, and the stock of the Chen family company had soared, giving her the feeling of becoming rich overnight by clinging to a powerful figure.
Chen Xintong thought it was the Chen family who did it, and she was so angry that her eyes turned red.
She really shouldn't have harbored any illusions!
Chen Xintong stormed out of the hotel and drove back to the Chen family home herself.
She wants to sever ties with them!
Meanwhile, Qin Yiheng, another party involved, was leisurely eating breakfast.
During his time in the military region, he experienced a life where eating was a race against time, like being in a war.
I'm actually finding it a little strange to eat so slowly these days.
Qin Yiheng's lips curled into a smile.
Suddenly, Qin Buyan rushed in and reported, "Master Heng, something terrible has happened! The news of your marriage to Miss Chen has been widely circulated online!"
Qin Yiheng paused, looked up, and asked with eyes as sharp as a blade: "What did you say?"
Qin Buyan shuddered and lowered his head, saying, "My assistant just called and said that several business partners called to inquire about your marriage, asking if it was true or false... I told my assistant it was false, and he has already asked the public relations department to get involved."
Qin Yiheng's brows were so furrowed they could trap a mosquito.
Suddenly, I regretted leaving it to Chen Xintong to handle.
However, what's done is done, and regret is useless.
Just then, Qin Yiheng's phone rang.
He ignored it, pressed his temples, and after a while, still feeling annoyed, he threw the knife and fork in his hand away!
Two swish sounds!
The knife and fork struck the wall, their cold light gleaming.
He then looked down at the screen; it was a phone call from home.
Qin Yiheng closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing, and calmed his emotions. After a moment, he picked up his phone to answer the call.
"Grandma, the news is fake."
He gave a direct and straightforward explanation, leaving no room for doubt.
After a two-second silence on the phone, Old Madam Qin sighed: "Aheng, I know it's fake. After all, you're getting married, so you'll definitely tell your family beforehand. But now the news is full of you and that girl Xintong."
You're a man, and public opinion is generally more lenient towards men, but much harsher on women. Xintong is a very strong-willed girl; things have gotten so big. If this marriage falls through, she'll become a national laughingstock.
Madam Qin wanted to have a great-grandchild, but she also knew that only when two people who loved each other got married could the whole family be harmonious, prosperous, and lasting.
Therefore, she never pressured her children to get married and have children.
But this time is different.
Qin Yiheng's eyes were as black as lacquer, reflecting a cold, sharp light.
Judging from last night's events, the Chen family certainly wouldn't dare to oppose him, so the person plotting against him behind the scenes must be someone else!
If he finds out who it is, he will not let it go easily!
The coaxing voice of Old Madam Qin came slowly from the phone: "But I have a way to solve this problem. Would you like to hear it?"
Qin Yiheng's throat tightened suddenly, and he refused in a hoarse voice, "Grandma, I won't agree."
On the other end of the phone, Old Madam Qin said angrily, "You haven't even listened to what I have to say before you say you won't agree?"
