Extra 8: Stories from the Real World (4)
Six months after the wedding, another explosive piece of gossip suddenly topped the trending search list:
# Gu's CEO secretly meets a mysterious woman overseas and they kiss sweetly! #
The accompanying pictures are several slightly blurry distant photos, and the background seems to be in a small European town.
In the photo, Gu Qinyuan was lying sideways, very close to a woman wearing a wide-brimmed hat whose face could not be seen clearly. The angle was tricky, and it actually looked like they were kissing.
This caused an uproar on the Internet.
"What did I say?! Let's just go our separate ways! It's only been six months and you can't hold it back anymore!"
[The marriage is confirmed. I feel bad for Miss Yan. It seems she's doing well on the surface.]
[As expected, there is no true love among the rich. I've seen this kind of plot many times.]
[Wait, is it just me who thinks that 'mysterious woman' looks familiar?]
Public opinion was almost one-sided in criticizing their marriage, and many people began to follow the trend and "feel sorry" for Yan Chu, as if she had really become a resentful woman in the boudoir.
This incident caused a sensation in the city, and even Yan Zhishu, who was handling business abroad, was alarmed and made a desperate overseas call.
"Sister!" Yan Zhishu's voice sounded anxious and angry. "Have you seen the news? That Gu Qinyuan... he's really out there... Are you okay? Do you want me to come back right away?"
Yan Chu looked at Gu Qinyuan, who was looking worried because of the rumors, and couldn't help but laugh: "No, don't worry."
"How can I not be worried! Even though the photo is blurry, but..."
"That's me." Yan Chu interrupted him lightly.
"...Ah?" Yan Zhishu on the other end of the phone was stuck for a moment.
"I said, that mysterious woman is me," Yan Chu suppressed her laughter and teased him deliberately, "Why, you didn't recognize your sister either?"
"..." Yan Zhishu was silent for a full five seconds, then said dryly, "So that's how it is. I... I have something else to do here, I'll go get busy first!"
After saying that, he quickly hung up the phone.
When Gu Qinyuan heard Yan Chu's call, his face turned even darker.
He picked up his phone and started sending messages to his special assistant, demanding a thorough investigation into the source of the rumor.
Given the power of the Gu family, very few media outlets would report gossip about the core members of the Gu family without verification. For such rumors to spread so quickly, there must be someone behind the scenes pushing it.
The special assistant was extremely efficient and returned the call in less than two hours, reporting the investigation results in a concise and concise manner.
The Zhao family, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, was unwilling to accept this and was behind the scenes manipulating the situation in an attempt to take revenge on the Gu family.
The stock price of Gu Group was actually affected and fell a bit.
Gu Qinyuan sneered. He had originally wanted to leave a way out, but since the other party didn't appreciate it, he would let the Zhao family go bankrupt completely.
Yan Chu walked over to Gu Qinyuan, stretched out his finger and poked his tense handsome face, and said with a smile: "Oh, so it's Mr. Gu's peach blossom debt~ He's really charming."
Gu Qinyuan looked at her heartless appearance, feeling helpless and doting. He reached out and gently pinched her cheek, but the coldness and displeasure in the depths of his eyes became more and more obvious.
He didn't care what the outside world said about him, but he couldn't let Yan Chu suffer any criticism or grievance.
But the rumors are getting more and more intense, and it is not easy to stop people from talking.
Gu Qinyuan's eyes turned cold, and he simply logged into his Weibo account, which was always idle and only used to post official announcements, and posted two high-definition photos neatly.
The first photo was taken outside the small town cafe where the photo was secretly taken. The sun was shining and the breeze was gentle.
He put his arm around the waist of the woman next to him and bent down to kiss the top of her head, while the "mysterious woman" raised her head and smiled brightly at the camera, her exquisite and dazzling face extremely clear.
If this isn't Yan Chu, then who else could it be?
The second photo was taken against the same background as the rumored photo. It was a cute snapshot of Yan Chu wearing exactly the same clothes, half covering his face with the wide-brimmed hat, and smiling at the camera.
The accompanying text only has a simple and domineering sentence——
"Is it not possible to date my wife? @Yanchuchuchu."
As soon as this Weibo post was published, the comment section was silent for three seconds, and then public opinion underwent a shocking reversal!
[Ahhhhhhhhhh! The real boss got slapped in the face!]
[Holy crap! So that 'mysterious woman' is Mrs. Gu herself?!]
[Isn't the main point about Mr. Gu's wife's beauty?! Oh my god! Is this beauty real?! Who spread the rumor that Mr. Gu and his wife are not getting along? With her appearance, I don't believe Mr. Gu would be willing to stay home!]
[I disagree! This should be my wife! Gu Qinyuan, your hatred for stealing my wife is irreconcilable!]
[You said before that business marriages are loveless, come out and take a walk? Your eyes are almost tearing! ]
[It looks fake at first glance, it must be staged, can't you tell it's just acting? ]
[Perhaps the wife, bearing the humiliation, deliberately wore the same clothes to help her husband dispel the rumors? After all, the Gu Group's stock price has been affected during this period.]
[I also feel like this is crisis PR, it's fake.]
Some people in the comment section are hilarious. They say that if a marketing account takes a picture, it's real, and if the real owner posts the picture, it's just acting. How do you expect others to prove it?
[Although, isn't this a top-notch couple? Even if it's fake, I'll still support them... It's all sweet!]
For a time, the comment section and hot search topics were still mixed with questioning voices such as "fake", "acting", and "public relations tactics".
However, the slap in the face came even faster.
Soon, a resourceful netizen posted a few photos. They were taken when he was traveling to the same European town not long ago. He took a selfie from a distance in a cafe and accidentally captured the scene of Gu Qinyuan and Yan Chu in the back, who were sweetly sharing a cup of parfait, taking turns to eat.
The natural intimacy and happiness were like something out of an idol drama come to life, even sweeter and more touching than the official photos released by Gu Qinyuan himself.
Since then, different netizens have been posting photos of their encounters from various angles.
Netizens were surprised to find that this couple is simply a walking sugar-spreading machine. They are sweet wherever they go, and their postures are intimate and natural. Every snapshot is so sweet that it is suffocating, and is full of a love-struck atmosphere.
[No, these two are just too good-looking! Even in this blurry snapshot, you can tell they're incredibly pretty!]
[I declare this couple is locked in! I've swallowed the key!]
[You said we'd have our own way in this marriage? Come out and apologize!]
So a couple went on a date abroad and the paparazzi mistook them for cheating? Hilarious! The paparazzi lost their bonus this month.
[Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I'm dying! The domineering CEO and his gorgeous wife! What kind of fairy tale love is this!]
[Mr. Gu: I'm so fed up. I'm in a relationship and you guys are always staring at me and spreading rumors about me.]
All the speculations about "acting" and "public relations", and the vicious rumors about "everyone playing their own games", were completely shattered in front of these real photos from the perspective of passers-by, which were sweet to the extreme, and had no place to stand.
Gu Qinyuan looked at the changing trend on the Internet with satisfaction, put down his phone, and hugged Yan Chu, who was smiling beside him.
Yan Chu flipped through the photos that netizens happened to take and was a little surprised:
"I didn't know I was being photographed by so many people."
"You don't like it?" Gu Qinyuan nuzzled her nose and said seriously, "Then I'll have someone get rid of all these photos right away."
"It's not that I don't like it," Yan Chu blinked, "It's just that I feel a little embarrassed when so many people are watching us date."
"That's not enough," Gu Qinyuan lowered his head, accurately capturing her soft lips, his voice low and tender, "I will let the whole world know how much I love you."
