Yu Xiang only hesitated slightly before agreeing to her husband's suggestion.
It seemed a bit pretentious for her to deliberately promote herself as the chairman's daughter-in-law within the company, mainly because she felt it was too embarrassing.
If her husband picks her up and she is recognized by others, her previous silence can only be attributed to her low-key nature, not to deliberate concealment.
Moreover, this seems to be the best way to solve her problem.
Anyone with a normal mind would think that if she's too lazy to even reveal her identity as the chairman's daughter-in-law to make things easier for herself in the company, why would she need to have an inappropriate relationship with a leader?
Has she gone mad?
Her leadership style was worlds apart from that of her mother-in-law, the chairwoman.
Besides, in what way is her husband worse than her boss? She would only do something so brainless if she were blind.
After the couple discussed it and made a plan, their second child got ready with great enthusiasm.
He used to be someone who didn't care much about his image. He was fine with wearing designer brands or cheap clothes, as long as he was comfortable.
This time, in order to save face for his wife, he specially dug out his expensive and decent clothes from the closet.
When Yu Xiang went to the office again, her boss, who had also heard some rumors, awkwardly walked up to her desk.
Because of these rumors, the leaders didn't dare to call her in for a chat, for fear of deepening the misunderstanding.
"Yu Xiang, look at the mess this has made."
"Boss, it's alright, don't take it to heart. We'll clear our names."
"That's right. Luckily, your sister-in-law has met you before, otherwise I would really be kneeling on the washboard when I get home."
What a joke! She's the chairman's daughter-in-law. Only a crazy woman would suspect that she's trying to curry favor with him to get benefits from the company.
What the leader feared most was being blamed by Yu Xiang and even the chairman's family because of this matter. Only when Yu Xiang didn't care did he feel at ease.
When it was time to eat at the cafeteria, the gossip-loving girl brought the latest scoop.
"Through my tireless efforts, the source of this rumor should be the women's restroom. It is said that a woman made a phone call and talked about Yu Xiang with someone, and that's how the rumor gradually spread."
Female?
Yu Xiang would immediately recall which woman he had a feud with at the company.
This thought immediately brought Lu Yanyan to mind.
Although there was no evidence and she had thought of a better solution, Yu Xiang still wanted to find out if Lu Yanyan was behind it.
Similarly, she gave her two dining companions a heads-up in advance.
"Well, actually I have a better way to make the rumors fall apart on their own."
"What?"
"Tell me quickly."
Both of them became curious.
"This is my husband. He'll pick me up after get off work. I'll treat you two to dinner and introduce you both."
"Okay, okay."
"The more you say that, the more curious I become."
Both of them started looking forward to getting off work.
After finishing her meal early, Yu Xiang wanted to verify her suspicions, so she wandered over to Lu Yanyan's department.
Upon noticing the focus of public attention shifting towards them, Lu Yanyan's colleagues reminded each other to look over.
Yu Xiang walked straight up to Lu Yanyan.
Seeing her walking towards her, Lu Yanyan immediately became nervous.
“I know everything you’ve done, and I’ll remember it,” Yu Xiang said deliberately.
A hint of panic flashed across Lu Yanyan's face, which she quickly concealed, but Yu Xiang, who was watching her closely, noticed it.
"What are you saying? Don't make false accusations."
Yu Xiang sneered.
"Spreading rumors in the toilet is really despicable. Do you think nobody saw it?"
"You're talking nonsense. How could I be inside by myself?" Lu Yanyan stopped abruptly.
Having confirmed her suspicions, Yu Xiang didn't bother wasting any more time and turned to leave.
Some people around were confused, while others, being quite clever, seemed to be pondering something.
Lu Yanyan lost interest in chatting and made an excuse that she was tired and needed to take a nap.
Having found the culprit, Yu Xiang felt a little better.
She worked until the end of the workday, then she and two of her dining companions packed their things and headed out together.
Erwa had already arrived downstairs at the company.
Today, he not only dressed formally, but also wore his most expensive watch. You know, if it weren't for his mother giving it to him, he wouldn't have been willing to buy it himself.
In order to let others know who his wife is, Erwa didn't sit in the car, but got out and leaned against the car door to wait for others.
The new security guard downstairs didn't recognize Erwa. Seeing him "pretending," he joked, "This rumor-monger is probably here to pick up his girlfriend."
When the old security guard glanced outside, he smacked him on the head.
"You better watch your step from now on. Do you know who that is? Our company is their family's property."
After saying that, he ran out to greet Erwa.
When Erwa used to work, he came and went from this person every day and got to know him quite well. He was very approachable and they got along well.
The old security guard was shocked when he said he was there to pick up his wife. When did the young master's wife join the company?
As the two were chatting, some people left the company, and the old security guard also went back to his post, still curious, thinking that he would soon get to know the chairman's daughter-in-law.
As people walked out of the company one after another, almost all of them saw Erwa standing in front of a luxury car at the entrance.
Those who didn't recognize him, like the new security guard, assumed he was the rich young master who had come to pick up his girlfriend in a high-profile manner. Some didn't dare to come over and greet Erwa, but out of curiosity, they didn't go far and just watched from there.
When the company manager who knew Erwa came out, he was incredibly enthusiastic when he saw Erwa.
"Young Master, what brings you here? Is there something you need to instruct me on?"
