Chapter 67 Chapter 67 Fairy Tale Love
"Let's talk downstairs." Jiang Yue waited for Wen Yao to leave the room, closed the door, and then walked downstairs. Huang Qianyi came next, and Wen Yao followed at the end.
Wen Yao kept thinking about what Jiang Yue had just said, and she always felt something was wrong.
She felt a little embarrassed when she said she trusted him and cared about him, and she didn't know how he could be so calm and composed.
Besides this, what else?
When they reached the second floor, Wen Yao finally remembered that he had just called her Yaoyao!
Even though we were acting in front of Huang Qianyi, it didn't have to be like this, right? Wasn't it a bit too much to act like this?
Going downstairs, Jiang Yue explained to Huang Qianyi what happened with Guan Xiaoya, but did not say that he planned to give up the position of manager of Jiangjia Group.
Huang Qianyi felt distressed and a little ashamed when she learned that Jiang Yue was indeed wronged, but she didn't know what to say. She just asked him how to arrange the future.
Jiang Yue said, "The police have already figured out most of the details of the case. They should be releasing a notice in the next two days. I will also sue Guan Xiaoya, and public opinion will be turned around."
Huang Qianyi sighed: "Go to the Jiang family later and explain everything to your grandfather. Don't let him be dissatisfied with you."
Jiang Yue didn't respond, and Huang Qianyi thought he agreed, so she stopped trying to persuade him.
Jiang Yue stood up and said, "Okay, if you don't have any doubts, I still have to go to the company."
Huang Qianyi knew that after this incident, he would need to quickly return to his normal work and life, so she nodded. When he turned around, she couldn't help but call him back. Looking at him, she said with some difficulty, "This morning, I was impulsive. I was so angry at the time that I thought..."
"It's okay." Jiang Yue interrupted her, glanced at Wen Yao, and left the house.
He knew his mother; she was elegant, noble, superior, and never made a mistake.
She still didn't say sorry to him. She was just explaining, explaining that there was a reason for her impulsiveness, and explaining that she was not that wrong.
In fact, she didn't know that he didn't care about her attitude. He was no longer the little boy who needed his mother's care and protection. His heart was hard enough, hard enough to look at her in turn and see through her fragility and fear at a glance.
Besides, he has shifted his desire for emotions to other places. He has no choice in family affection, but he can choose the right person for love.
Huang Qianyi stood there watching Jiang Yue's receding back, and suddenly felt a little melancholy.
She thought of many things to say, mulling over how to tell him about her inappropriate behavior. She wanted to tell him that it wasn't that she didn't care about him, but she knew how important his work and reputation were to him, and that she was so worried about him that she became so impulsive. She also wanted to ask him if he felt that she was putting too much pressure on him. She also wanted to say that she missed him too much when she first moved out of the Jiang family, and she didn't come to see him because she was angry with the Jiang family...
But why did he leave? Was he not paying attention, or was he too busy with work?
Huang Qianyi suddenly felt that she couldn't guess what her son was thinking, and she didn't even have a direction to guess.
Maybe he is really anxious to work. After all, he is such a hard-working person, Huang Qianyi thought.
Two or three hours after Jiang Yue left the house, his video appeared online.
It turned out that there were reporters waiting in front of the Yueer Group building. They blocked him at the door and asked him about the sexual assault.
Jiang Yue was no longer the tired and depressed look he had been in the morning. His black hair was combed neatly, his expression was calm and confident. He looked very noble in a well-made suit, and with his handsome features, he seemed to be radiant.
He faced the camera calmly and smiled, "Didn't my wife tell me this morning that Guan Xiaoya made a false accusation? I didn't know her before and have no relationship with her. I will pursue this matter to the end. If the police investigation proves that she is not making a false accusation, I will donate 100 million yuan to the Hope Primary School."
After saying that, he turned and walked into the company building without another word of response.
As a result, this video went viral on the Internet, making Wen Yao's remarks, which had already been very popular in the morning, even more popular, leaving the public confused.
Originally, everyone thought the matter was very simple. Either Jiang Yue committed sexual assault, or Jiang Yue and Guan Xiaoya had a sex deal, but they couldn't agree on the price and it ended up breaking down. In short, Jiang Yue was not a good person.
However, now, he said so confidently that he did not know Guan Xiaoya and had nothing to do with her, and even bet 100 million on it.
Netizens were confused and began to analyze calmly, and no longer dared to directly stand on Guan Xiaoya's side.
Guan Xiaoya's side was stubborn at first. Before Guan Xiaoya was in the police station, her studio sent three Weibo posts in a row to condemn Jiang Yue. Their words were full of conviction and indignation, which attracted fans and passers-by to attack Jiang Yue, Yueer Group and the Jiang family. But they quieted down after that morning. Faced with the backlash from some netizens, they remained as quiet as a chicken and said nothing.
The stocks of Yueer Group have temporarily stabilized. This time has passed quickly. Looking at the dynamics on the Internet, Wen Yao couldn't help but wonder whether Jiang Yue's decision to resign was impulsive. Now that the situation has slowly stabilized, can he really give up all this?
Not to mention him, even I feel heartbroken for him.
The police acted quickly and released an investigation report two days later, detailing the results of the investigation into Jiang Yue's sexual assault case.
On the day of the Yue'er Qinghe Theme Hotel's music gala, Weifang's marketing department staff bribed a waiter to send Guan to Jiang's room. Jiang returned to her room and saw Guan. He asked her to leave, but Guan refused. After a struggle, Jiang opened the door to call security. At that moment, director Zhang, with whom Guan was having a secret affair, arrived and argued with Jiang without any explanation. Guan then cried to Zhang about Jiang's sexual assault, and Zhang called the police.
The name used was a pseudonym that everyone knew. At the same time, the chat records between the Weifang brand and Guan Xiaoya's agent and the hotel surveillance were also released. Facts have proved that Guan Xiaoya was really making false accusations without any evidence, and Jiang Yue, who had a particularly bad reputation, was really a pure and flawless "white lotus".
Netizens used an internet slang: I've never seen such a thing in my life.
I never thought that there really is a CEO in the world who is so handsome, rich and not greedy for women. What kind of person is he that he can even refuse a beauty like Guan Xiaoya who comes to his door!
Then some netizens dug out Wen Yao's identity: she didn't have much identity, she was just an ordinary small town girl. The two got married in a flash and seemed to be quite loving. This incident had a feeling of "being in the same boat" and "a sweet wife who protects her husband meets a doting boss who dotes on his wife".
Then an article called "Fairy Tale Love in Public Relations Crisis" became popular on WeChat public accounts.
Mainly because there are too many people who are eating Guan Xiaoyagua and analyzing sexual assault incidents, the official account took a unique approach and used Jiang Yue and Wen Yao's marriage and relationship as the starting point for writing. The effect was very good, attracting a large number of netizens to call it sweet and express their desire to support this couple.
When Wen Yao read the article, she felt embarrassed for a moment, then felt like she had been wronged. Then, when she thought that Jiang Yue might have seen it as well, all these feelings were defeated by shame.
This humiliation lasted for two hours, and she suddenly realized something: Why did this look so much like the villains showing off their affection? But according to the laws of fiction, villains showing off their affection is bound to backfire! This spotlight must belong to Jiang Lin and Lu Wan. Since the real protagonists are still relatively unknown, how could they steal the show?
Wen Yao quickly called Jiang Yue.
When the call was connected, Jiang Yue's low and mellow voice came through. His tone was very good and he sounded like he was in a good mood.
She cleared her throat and asked him in a serious, businesslike tone, "Did you read that WeChat official account article? The one about... ahem... fairy tale romance or something?"
Jiang Yue smiled lightly: "I saw it, it's well written."
Unexpectedly, he had such an attitude. Wen Yao felt a little embarrassed and quickly said, "What's good about that? I'm telling you, if we stand out too much, there will be problems!"
"What's the problem?" he asked with interest.
So Wen Yao expressed her concerns.
Jiang Yue replied calmly, "It's okay. It'll only last for a while. The heat will soon die down."
"Really? How did you know?" Wen Yao felt that he probably didn't know much about how long this kind of online popularity would last.
Jiang Yue told her, "I'm on my way to the old house. I'll tell my grandfather about my resignation soon. When I'm no longer the president of Yue'er Group and no longer hold a management position in the Jiangjia Group, no one will know me, and naturally no one will care about our marriage situation."
Wen Yao was silent. The matter ended successfully, and she thought Jiang Yue would give up this decision.
"Are you sure?"
"Sure."
After receiving his affirmative answer, Wen Yao was completely at a loss for words and only felt a dull pain in her heart.
She was obviously the author, but she couldn't help him or give him any better advice.
As if sensing her sadness, Jiang Yue comforted her, "Okay, don't worry. Don't worry, if I can't be the CEO of Yue'er, I can be the CEO of something else. After all, you're still a wealthy young lady."
Wen Yao blushed again. To suppress her awkwardness, she quickly said, "Alright, alright, CEO, go resign and make way for its true owner."
Jiang Yue smiled and hung up the phone.
Wen Yao couldn't let go of her worries. She was worried about his future and his mood, and she was also having some wild thoughts because of what he had just said.
In fact, from the very beginning, she could not resist his handsomeness, his confidence, his hard work, and his arrogance that never bowed his head... If she asked herself honestly, she was indeed attracted to him, but her reason told her not to.
Moreover, this attraction had been buried deep in the soil when he was trying to seduce her, and no matter how hard he tried, it was impossible for it to sprout.
Later, she always reminded herself that they were in a cooperative relationship, but he was in the deep quagmire and made her feel pity and guilt, and now he was so gentle to her.
Yes, he was gentle to her, why?
Could it be... another conspiracy?
Thinking this way, Wen Yao felt that her idea was correct and safe.
But he has no such motive!
More than an hour later, she still hadn't figured out Jiang Yue's thoughts, but she received a call from him first.
"Are you free tonight? I didn't eat much at grandpa's house. There's a nice English tea restaurant on the way back. Do you want to come out and eat with me?" Jiang Yue asked her on the other end of the phone, his tone still gentle and patient.
Wen Yao replied "OK", only to realize that she had eaten without even thinking about it, and was still very excited.
There seems to be something wrong with her...
There were few cars at night and it was in the suburbs, so it only took more than ten minutes for the car to arrive at the British tea restaurant that Jiang Yue mentioned. It had a very British architectural style, with black roofs and red walls, elegant and solemn. The interior decoration and waiters were also British-style. You could tell at a glance that the food would not be bad.
Jiang Yue sat by the window inside. With his carefully styled black hair, handsome features and an elegant and indifferent expression, and a custom-made grey suit, he undoubtedly became the most beautiful scenery in the entire restaurant.
Wen Yao suddenly felt that she was too casual. At least she should change into a nicer skirt before going out.
Sitting down, she looked at Jiang Yue seriously and asked worriedly, "How was the conversation with your grandfather? Did it go well?"
Jiang Yue's face showed a bit of loneliness, and he nodded: "It can be said that it went smoothly."
When Wen Yao heard him say this, she knew why he was in a bad mood. It was normal for him to resign, so it must be difficult for him to leave. Could it be that Mr. Jiang agreed to it so readily?
"Did your grandfather...just say it's okay?" she couldn't help but ask.
Jiang Yue replied: "Grandpa said to think about it and asked me to think about it too." After Jiang Yue finished speaking, he looked at her.
Her expression was indeed a little surprised, yet a little forbearing. She pursed her lips tightly, as if expressing a mixture of dissatisfaction and pity.
He knew that she was kind, and when she heard him say that, she would definitely feel unfair for him and feel sad that he had lost his grandfather's protection.
Of course, this was not the case. He did go to his grandfather to tell him about his resignation from Yueer Group. His grandfather was more shocked and surprised, and believed that he had acted impulsively in anger, so he asked him to go back and calm down.
But if he told her the truth, she might not be so accommodating to him.
Wen Yao advised him, "It's okay. Many things are arranged by the plot. Didn't you say that I'm not very good at writing. I just write nonsense. Anyway, if you can take a completely different path after giving up the Jiang family, then you have won over fate. I will accompany you."
Jiang Yue looked at her and said, "How about going to a movie after dinner?"
Wen Yao stopped her fork and looked at him in surprise: "Why?"
Jiang Yue replied: "I just suddenly wanted to watch a movie."
Wen Yao opened her lips and was about to say yes, but changed her mind the next moment and rejected him: "Forget it. Don't you have a home theater at home? You can watch whatever you want when you get home."
Jiang Yue asked her: "Don't you want to see it?"
Wen Yao lowered her head and didn't look at him directly: "No, I have something else to do tonight."
Jiang Yue didn't give up and asked again: "How about doing something else? For example... that Ferris wheel you like? Or go to a bar?"
"I don't like Ferris wheels." Wen Yao raised her head, puffed out her cheeks, and looked at him, "Jiang Yue, are you up to something evil again?"
Jiang Yue was surprised and asked her, "What are you thinking?"
Wen Yao curled her lips and said, "You know what you're thinking. You obviously don't like Ferris wheels or movies, but you suddenly want to go to the movies and even ask me out for dinner. Are you trying to pull your old tricks again? Do I look that stupid?"
Jiang Yue finally understood what she said and was immediately furious.
He racked his brains to tell her his feelings, but she was wondering if he was plotting against her.
After calming down, he patiently explained, "People change. I can even give up the Jiang family, so what else can't I change? So if I promise you that I have no other thoughts and I'm just going to see a movie, would you be willing?"
Wen Yao poked the broccoli on her plate with a hairpin. She didn't know if she was hungry or just didn't feel like eating. Without even looking at him, she whispered, "I don't want to."
Jiang Yue was speechless for a long while. A strong sense of loss and irritation rose from his heart. He didn't know how to deal with all this.
The two of them were silent for two full minutes. Not wanting to accept their fate, Jiang Yue asked again, "Why? Don't you love watching movies?"
Wen Yao stammered in a low voice, "No reason, I just don't want to watch."
Jiang Yue advised himself not to be impatient and take it slow. After a long while, he chuckled and said, "Okay, I'll tell you next time I want to see it."
Wen Yao didn't reply.
In fact, she naturally wanted to watch a movie, and was even willing to watch it with Jiang Yue, but reason told her not to linger in the dangerous area.
She didn't know what was wrong with Jiang Yue recently, why he was so different, and why he asked her to see a movie.
But she knew that she and he were from two different worlds, both literally and implicitly, and it would be best for them to be allies.
She was afraid of drowning.
When she returned to Loman Manor in the evening, she was about to write a few words, but for some reason she opened the chat interface again, and then she saw the message sent to her by Xianyu Le Youyou.
[Xianyu]: What's up with the comments below your post? Did you offend someone?
[Xianyu]: Something is wrong. She can’t create so many small accounts by herself, right?
[Xianyu]: Why is there no one here? There are forums, and the post is quite popular. Do you want to appeal?
Wen Yao hurried to read her novel, and the comment section below was a mess.
Someone commented on her article, accusing her of being a green tea, a mistress and destroying other people's families, and that the article data was inflated with money, and then gave it a lot of negative points.
It just so happened that the heroine of her novel was a rather pretentious and scheming character, so many accounts came to accuse her of being like her writing, having distorted values, and being morally corrupt, and even using the characters and plot of the novel to criticize her. At first glance, it seemed reasonable and well-founded, and very much like real readers.
But these people were clearly strangers, she had never seen them before.
Later, she went to a novel forum and saw a hot post about herself. There was a short essay in it, in which she described how she approached her husband, acted like a green tea woman, seduced him, and finally broke up her marriage as the original wife.
The article was well-written, with every word sounding heartbreaking. Sure enough, it attracted a large number of people to watch, and they all asked her to get off the website.
She was just a young author who had just started to make a name for herself. This incident killed her right at the beginning, cutting off all possibilities for her in the future.
It was obvious that someone was targeting her, and it was a big move.
But she didn't know who this person was.
I was very angry and wanted to cry, but there was nothing I could do. This feeling was a bit like the day not long ago when someone asked me to go to the river beach and I was stood up.
Could it be the same person?
But what was this person's motive? She wrote novels just for fun, she didn't make money from it, and she wasn't getting in anyone's way, so why was she being targeted?
Wen Yao wanted to tell Jiang Yue about this and let him think about it, but this was just a guess, not even a guess. After hesitating for a moment, she gave up.
What could she do at this point? It seemed she could do nothing but deny it, because she didn't want to reveal her identity.
That would have a huge impact and could allow online slander to spread into the real world.
…
At this moment, Jiang Yue was looking at a text message from a stranger on his phone and was lost in thought.
[Want to change your destiny? See you tomorrow evening at 6:00 PM at table number 7 at Cloud Garden Western Restaurant.]
He didn't know whether the person behind the text message sent such a message by chance or knew something. Could it be that the other party knew that he wanted to change his fate?
This text message was so familiar, almost identical to the one Wen Yao had received before, but he didn't know whether the other party would come this time.
But regardless of whether the other party would come or not, he would definitely go. As for the location, he was a little puzzled because it was a famous romantic restaurant.
The reason why it is called the Cloud Garden Western Restaurant is because it is on the 52nd floor, overlooking the entire Binjiang City, and has a panoramic transparent skylight and is covered with flowers, so it has earned the name of a romantic restaurant.
He didn't know why this mysterious man wanted to meet here.
The next day, at six o'clock in the evening, Jiang Yue arrived at table number 7 on time.
The table was covered with a white lace tablecloth and decorated with fragrant pink roses. The soothing piano music rang in my ears, and the sunset glow in the sky created a beautiful picture.
Jiang Yue supported his chin with his hand, tapping the table with his fingers. He seemed lazy and nonchalant, but his eyes were fixed on the restaurant entrance.
Then, he saw an unexpected person, Jiang Chen.
