His eyes were cold and his voice was so low it was almost a whisper.
But his chest felt burning hot.
Tears welled up in Gu Keke's eyes. She grabbed his arm and buried her head in his embrace.
Everyone was stunned.
Who is this girl?
Isn't Lu Yi's girlfriend in Fengcheng?
Oh my god, could it be that she cheated on me?
Lu Yi's image as a devoted lover has crumbled...
Goodness, we didn't get anything else, but this time we got something big.
As anyone in the media knows, the public doesn't really care much about the new projects and moves of wealthy families.
They can always get addicted to romantic gossip, and the buzz can last a long time.
As Lu Yi stood up, holding the porcelain doll-like object, everyone stepped back to make way for him.
When Gu Huainan ran over, Lu Yi had already walked out of the crowd.
"Don't speak, just go!"
Seeing that he was filled with anger and had nowhere to vent it, Lu Yi quickly whispered a reminder and looked in the direction of his car.
What we're fighting for is those few seconds of confusion for this group of people.
Once they recognize Gu Keke and Gu Huainan, none of the three of them will be leaving today.
Gu Huainan wasn't stupid.
His older brother's reminder on the phone had put his often-lazy mind on high alert.
He took a few quick steps, opened the back door, and after Lu Yi and Gu Keke got in, he nimbly got into the car.
Just then, the police arrived, and many onlookers dispersed on their own.
Gu Huainan turned the steering wheel and sped away.
Only then did someone ask in surprise, "Don't you guys think the driver looks like the second young master of the Gu family?"
"So the one Lu Yi is carrying is the famous Coco from Jiangzhou?"
"Damn it, why didn't you say so sooner? I didn't get a picture of their faces. Otherwise, I could have easily posted it online and it would have gone viral!"
"Hehehe, how could we possibly let such good material go? Anyway, we got the photos. Let's go, the police are coming, don't go looking for trouble!"
The moment Gu Huainan and his group left, the news was posted online.
However, the title is not something baseless like "Lu Yi committed murder".
Instead, it was "Lu Yi cheated on his girlfriend while she was enrolling in college."
With such a viral short video, it's hard for it not to go viral.
Huo Xiao was using Lu Yi as a role model to educate Huo Jingxi and Du Guanglong when he refreshed the page and saw this trending topic.
Du Guanglong glanced at it, his jawline relaxing slightly.
Huo Jingxi quickly finished watching the video, his face full of anger. "These media outlets are really talking nonsense. Is the third brother the kind of person who is fickle?"
Du Guanglong said helplessly, "What can we do? These days, self-media just want to stir up trouble."
"They can elevate an ordinary person to godhood in a matter of minutes, and they can also drag a once-high god down from his pedestal and ruin his reputation in a matter of seconds!"
Huo Xiao's eyes flashed, and his fingers quickly swiped the screen a few times.
He said in a deep voice, "Only Lu Yi could come up with such a cunning method..."
Huo Jingxi was puzzled.
"What kind of solution is this? Although the Gu family cooperated with Lu Yi first, Miss Gu is the apple of the Gu family's eye."
"Would that shrewd person from the Gu family really sit idly by knowing she has a connection with Lu Yi?"
The implied meaning.
The Gu family's cooperation with Lu Yi is a business deal, solely for profit.
We absolutely will not allow Gu Keke to be involved with Lu Yi, who is being "rumored" against.
Du Guanglong smiled but remained silent.
He originally thought that Huo Xiao had been biding his time for many years and was unfamiliar with things on the internet, but to his surprise, he saw the key point at a glance.
Huo Xiao gave his son a meaningful look.
For Lu Yi, is the rumor of him committing murder more damaging, or is the impact of his infidelity even worse?
Huo Jingxi blurted it out.
"Of course it's murder. Murder is a criminal case, while cheating is just a moral flaw..."
Upon hearing this, he suddenly realized what was going on.
He then gritted his teeth and said, "Serves them right! Those scoundrels who scheme behind the scenes should be dealt with by a calm and collected newcomer like Lu Yi!"
"I never expected him to get away this way. It seems I'll have to learn a lot from him in the future!"
Du Guanglong's face darkened immediately upon hearing his evaluation of Lu Yi.
"The third brother is not that kind of person; his seriousness about relationships is beyond imagination."
"President Huo, Second Brother, I have something to do. If we don't find out who's behind this, Third Brother won't have a peaceful life, and we might be in trouble too."
Huo Xiao nodded.
A hint of guilt appeared on his face, and he said apologetically, "This is also my fault."
"If it hadn't been for that impulsive decision to let him appear so prominently at the bidding conference, perhaps none of this would have happened."
"Long'er, arrange for someone to protect him secretly, and while you're at it, find someone you know at Fengcheng University to help him take care of his girlfriend."
Huo Xiao, like a father, gave Du Guanglong detailed instructions on everything.
Du Guanglong silently kept his words in mind.
Huo Jingxi, watching from the side, was even a little jealous.
"Luckily I got back early."
"Otherwise, if we wait any longer, Dad will be snatched away by someone else!"
Huo Xiao glared at him with a complicated expression. "When the company reshuffles its leadership, you'd better change your image beforehand and think about how to win people over!"
Huo Jingxi pursed his lips and touched the eye patch on his eyes.
"If this still doesn't convince the public, then I have no choice but to lay out my heart and soul and offer it up for them to examine!"
"A strong destiny is the best feng shui for a company. I will live and die with the Huo family group. Is that reason enough?"
Seeing his roguish manner, Huo Xiao snorted, "You're no good!"
...
Sitting in the car, Lin Xiaoya's face was more pale than ever.
