Xiao Xin got back into the car and opened WeChat to see the message Yu Muqing had just sent him.
It's a news link with a text message: What's going on here?
Xiao Xin clicked on the link and saw that the news headline was related to Fu Yan—Fu Family's Eldest Son's Suspected Romance Exposed?!
He first clicked on the first picture, which showed two people embracing from behind, with the venue of the last banquet in the background.
Xiao Xin held Fu Yan, who had a headache, in a rather intimate pose. Coupled with the suggestive text, it was enough to make one imagine a TV series.
There are also a few side profile photos of the two of them, taken when they were about to leave the venue and refuse Qiao Chen's cake. However, apart from Fu Yan and Xiao Xin, there is no Qiao Chen or any other unrelated people in the photos.
All the pictures are blurry, but Fu Yan's outline can still be vaguely seen, so they were probably taken by someone without his consent.
Fortunately, Xiao Xin was wearing a mask that day, and the picture was so blurry that you could only tell he was a man.
The bizarre analyses accompanying those pictures made Xiao Xin want to laugh.
Xiao Xin thought it would be better to just write that he was an alien.
However, the entire news article made no mention of the Jiang family; it focused mostly on Fu Yan and the Fu family. It seems that the person who took the photos was very wary of the Jiang family and wanted to get rid of Fu Yan.
Xiao Xin thought for a moment and replied to Yu Muqing: "I'm sorry, President Yu. I just took Xiao Yan to school and I'm only replying to you now. Those photos in the news were probably taken by someone without my consent. I can't explain the specifics right now."
…
Meanwhile, in Fu Qingting's office, the atmosphere was solemn and serious.
Fu Qingting sat on the sofa, his brows furrowed, his irritation clearly visible.
He pointed at the news on the coffee table, looked at Yu Muqing standing opposite him, and said angrily, "What kind of cousin are you? You dare to let him go to the Jiang family's place?"
Yu Muqing stood ramrod straight. Upon hearing this, she nodded slightly: "I'm sorry, Uncle, but the Jiang family specifically requested Fu Yan to go. If Fu Yan doesn't go, the Jiang family will definitely use this as leverage to suppress the Fu family..."
"Bang—"
Fu Qingting slammed his hand on the coffee table, his face contorted with rage: "This is utter nonsense! Don't you and him feel ashamed of bringing shame to the Fu family?"
"The Jiang family dislikes the Fu family no matter what, so sending Fu Yan to embarrass them is an insult to the Fu family!"
Fu Qingting's chest heaved with anger, while Yu Muqing lowered her brows and apologized, "Uncle, I'm sorry, I didn't think it through..."
Yu Muqing didn't want to argue with him. In any case, no matter how he explained, Yu Muqing was wrong, and he was too lazy to argue.
However, he never expected Jiang Yuming to humiliate Fu Yan like this, and the originator of the rumors has not yet been found.
The rumors inevitably affected the Fu family's stock price.
For Fu Qingting, the Fu Group is everything, so it's natural that he would take his anger out on everyone involved in this matter.
Fu Qingting took a breath and continued to ask, "Who is that person hugging him in the news?"
Yu Muqing pondered for a moment, and in order to protect Xiao Xin, he lied: "I found someone to take care of Xiao Yan temporarily, and I didn't ask for their contact information."
"you……"
Fu Qingting was so angry that his finger trembled as he pointed at Yu Muqing: "You're doing all sorts of stupid things. Who knows if this person is trying to blackmail the Fu family?"
Yu Muqing pursed his lips and remained silent; he hadn't expected Fu Qingting to be so cautious.
Fu Qingting beckoned to Qiao Chen behind him with his finger.
Qiao Chen immediately stood behind Fu Qingting, bent down slightly, and leaned close to Fu Qingting's ear: "President Fu, what's wrong?"
Qiao Chen works at Fu's company, so he calls Fu Qingting "President Fu" at the company, but calls him "Uncle" in private.
Fu Qingting pinched the bridge of his nose, his voice slightly out of breath: "Go and find out who published this report, and while you're at it, find out about that man wearing a mask."
Fu Qingting just returned from a business trip today and didn't know that Qiao Chen had also attended the birthday banquet.
Qiao Chen didn't explain, and said meekly, "Okay, President Fu."
Fu Qingting rubbed his temples, waved his hand, and gave them the order to leave: "Alright, you can all go out now, I have a headache."
Yu Muqing nodded, then turned and left expressionlessly.
Qiao Chen followed closely behind. As soon as he stepped out, he saw Yu Muqing leaning lazily against the wall, seemingly waiting for him.
Qiao Chen smiled, gently closed the door, and casually stepped past Mu Qing to leave.
He hadn't taken two steps when his wrist was grabbed by a hand with distinct knuckles.
Qiao Chen wore a distant smile, glanced back at Yu Muqing holding his hand, then looked into those cold eyes: "President Yu, what is this...?"
Yu Muqing's face was as cold as ice. Without saying a word, she forcefully pulled Qiao Chen in the opposite direction.
Qiao Chen did not struggle, but followed closely behind Yu Muqing, letting him hold his wrist.
Yu Muqing's hair swirled in the wind around his face, tickling his skin and making his heart itch even more.
Qiao Chen stared at Yu Muqing's long hair, lost in thought.
It wasn't until Yu Muqing pulled him into a conference room, closed the door, and slammed him against the back of the door that Qiao Chen looked at that stunningly beautiful face and came back to his senses.
Yu Muqing braced himself against the door with one hand, pinning Qiao Chen against it. He took a breath, but the sight of Qiao Chen's fox-like eyes behind his glasses only fueled his anger.
He ripped off Qiao Chen's glasses and tossed them aside. Unexpectedly, without the glasses, Qiao Chen's facial features became less sharp and more gentle, making him look strangely pleasing to the eye.
Yu Muqing realized her thoughts had wandered off, shook her head, and looked at Qiao Chen, asking, "You're used to being a dog, aren't you? You were the one who did that news thing?"
Qiao Chen chuckled, his fox-like eyes gleaming with shrewdness, and said with a smile, "So, Brother Qing is questioning me?"
Yu Muqing suppressed her anger, her eyes growing even colder.
