Chapter 36
Does the young lady know who Xia Ling's ex-boyfriend and the other girlfriend who was cheated on with are?
Everyone around was amazed. Chu Muchao seemed to be omnipotent. He always seemed oblivious to everything else at work, yet he knew all the gossip about the newly appointed director.
As expected of the eldest daughter of the Chu family, her connections and information network are truly extensive.
However.
My mind was frantically searching for the system.
Chu Muchao: Did you find it?
Chu Muchao: System, system, does this really work?
-
On his way to the company, Chu Muchao first asked his friends if they knew Xia Ling's former company and if anyone knew anyone from XX Network.
Unfortunately, none of my friends know anyone from this company.
They've never even collaborated.
Her circle of friends hasn't yet covered the entire southern part of the city.
The system said.
She can exchange a [Wish Card] in the shop for a [Find] magic skill with him.
Her magic points and magic skill proficiency are not high. If she were to level up and automatically learn new magic skills as usual, it might take a long time.
All he needs is a Wish Card to secretly give her extra help and teach her this magical skill ahead of time.
The news that her identity as an only child had been exposed increased her points significantly. After redeeming a [Wish Card], she still had some points left.
Chu Muchao redeemed the [Wish Card] without hesitation.
Just like last time, all she had to do was redeem the [Wish Card] and put it in her inventory.
A new magic skill quickly appeared on the skill panel.
Chu Muchao followed the instructions above and recited the incantation.
—Super fast! Target locked!
—Target characteristics: Male, had a past relationship with Xia Ling, and was recruited to work at XX Network by Xia Ling; Female, is the daughter of the owner of XX Network and a manager at XX Network, and was unknowingly cheated on by the male. I need to get both of them in front of me as soon as possible.
Since this skill is called "Super Fast," Chu Muchao thought it must be effective instantly.
It should be some kind of super powerful teleportation magic that immediately teleports the person to her right after she finishes chanting the incantation.
She's been at the company for a while now, but she still hasn't shown up.
Chu Muchao: System (poor thing) is in a hurry.
[They've arrived.]
As the system's voice appeared in his mind, Chu Muchao heard the elevator "ding" to indicate that it had arrived at the floor.
But strangely, she couldn't tell whether the "ding" came from her mind or from reality.
Logically speaking, it should be in reality.
The notification sound was so clear and crisp, just like the one she heard when she was in the elevator.
But she was in her office; she shouldn't have been able to hear that.
-
The parties involved have arrived.
The two men, their eyes vacant, were led into the office by something.
Immediately, a golden light flashed in their eyes, and then they both regained consciousness.
Upon seeing each other, awkwardness filled their eyes.
When they saw the scene before them, they were both stunned.
"Where...is this place?"
"Xia Ling? What are you doing here? Did you call me here?"
The two realized that a memory, seemingly out of nowhere and nonexistent, had entered their respective minds.
In the man's eyes, he was called over by Xia Ling to be questioned about his infidelity.
In the woman's eyes, she was called over by her best friend to clarify things.
The man's first reaction was to run.
Jiang Lan swiftly grabbed their arms, and the others rushed over to surround them.
The man roared, "What are you doing? Let go! Let go! You want to hit me?!"
The woman beside him glanced at him, then coldly looked away, turning her gaze to her best friend.
"What are you doing here? You said something came up and you couldn't join us for the hot springs, but you've come here to cause trouble for Xia Ling?"
My best friend looked embarrassed: "I didn't mean to..."
The woman's eyes reddened: "I'm already so pitiful. I didn't even know I was a mistress. He deceived me. How could you..."
My best friend quickly said, "I know you've been scammed! You're so naive, I told you that guy was no good! But... your story got out! I can't let my best friend be scammed three times and then get scolded too!"
The woman was even more upset: "But she's innocent too. When we were caught red-handed while shopping, I felt like the sky had fallen. I've never felt so ashamed and humiliated. Waaah..."
Her best friend felt heartbroken and hugged the woman tightly.
"It's not your fault, it's not your fault."
The woman burst into tears: "It's my fault... Waaah!"
"When my dad found out, he was ashamed of me, so he suspended my card and gave me a severe scolding."
"They even managed to drive Xia Ling away..."
The woman cried for a while, then pushed her best friend away and looked at Xia Ling with teary eyes, her tone sincere.
"I'm sorry, I only found out later that my dad drove you away. I'm so sorry, I caused you to lose your job..."
Xia Ling's eyes also reddened.
Her expression was so calm and indifferent that no one knew whether she was more sad and aggrieved or more angry.
She shook her head: "It's okay, it's all in the past, I'm fine now."
Whether Xia Ling is truly good or not, only she herself knows.
Chu Muchao looked at the people in front of him.
She absolutely believes in the friendship between women and best friends, but that's no reason to spread rumors and slander another victim.
Excuse me.
Chu Muchao walked up to Xia Ling and Shi Xiyu, and spoke to the two women who were holding each other's hands tightly.
"Recently, rumors have circulated in our company that Director Xia is a mistress. I need both of you to explain and clarify this matter in front of everyone, and apologize to Director Xia."
Her best friend was crying with heartache just a second ago, but when she heard Chu Muchao's words, she got angry again.
"Don't be so unreasonable! You've already called all my friends, what more do you want?!"
“Just calling you over isn’t enough. You deliberately spread false rumors, and I need you to explain yourself clearly, word by word. Otherwise, people will inevitably use this to slander and betray Xia Ling in the future.”
Chu Muchao stood with his hands on his hips, looking like he was determined to get back at them, and said.
"Furthermore, because you spread rumors, you have already caused negative impact on her. Shouldn't you apologize for your behavior? Finally, since I am in the right, why should I forgive you? I am not unreasonable."
"..."
"That's right! The one who's wrong is the man who cheated, lied, and hid the truth! Why hurt your own people who are also victims!"
"Director Xia is clearly the victim, but recently she's been falsely accused of being a mistress. Isn't she even more innocent and pitiful?!"
Chu Muchao was quite satisfied with the fact that the team could respond instantly upon starting the game.
With others echoing his sentiments, Chu Muchao became even more self-righteous, crossed his arms, and continued speaking.
“I understand you care about your friends, but that’s no excuse for hurting others. Come on, clarify, explain, and apologize.”
My best friend is clearly the stubborn type.
His face turned bright red, but he refused to lower his head and say a word.
Women are also in a difficult position.
Although I know my best friend was wrong to spread rumors, it was because of her, and because she is my friend.
All the woman could say was, "I apologize, okay? We were definitely wrong in this matter. But wasn't that guy the cheating scumbag?"
The woman pointed at the man who was surrounded by people and prevented from leaving.
"Don't rush, take it one at a time."
Chu Muchao turned to look at Xia Ling, "You need to apologize, right?"
Xia Ling's cool gaze shifted from the woman's face to Chu Muchao.
She nodded, her tone solemn: "I need an explanation and an apology."
Of course, no one can remain unexplained and apologized after being misunderstood and accused of spreading rumors.
Since the other party was unwilling, she didn't want to waste too much time and effort.
—Words that come true, truths that cannot be escaped.
—Let the woman explain her purpose in doing so, and then apologize.
[Successfully used the magic skills "Words Come True" and "The Inescapable Truth".]
[“Words Prove Effective” skill proficiency +15, “The Inescapable Truth” skill proficiency +25, Magic Points +60.]
A golden light flashed in the woman's eyes, and then her tightly clenched lips slowly opened.
"Everyone on my WeChat Moments is talking about my friend being a mistress. It's not her fault. She was deceived and kept in the dark, a victim. Besides, when she was with that scumbag, it was genuine. She introduced him to her friends, even got him a big deal, and gave him a car..."
"After her father found out, he came to ask me, and I switched the roles, saying that the other one was the mistress, the one who came to break up the relationship and steal her husband. So her father kicked that woman out..."
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have spread rumors, hurt you, and caused you to lose your job. I'm very sorry."
So that's how my former boss found out about the rumor.
But no matter what, a father will definitely protect his daughter.
It would be difficult for Xia Ling to stay at that company any longer.
Chu Muchao turned to look at the man.
"now you."
A cheating scumbag is bound to be a liar.
Without giving him a chance to make up stories, Chu Muchao directly used "Words That Are Proven Effective" and "The Truth That Cannot Be Escaped".
"You scumbag, you should properly explain and apologize to the people you've hurt."
After giving the order, Chu Muchao returned to Chu Wen's side and whispered.
Let's go.
Chu Wen's gaze remained fixed on Chu Muchao the entire time.
He looked down at the woman in front of him.
He knew long ago that his younger sister had grown up into someone he didn't know, but he didn't know that Chaochao had this side to her.
Strong, determined, and aggressive.
He always felt that Chaochao hadn't grown up yet and still needed him as her older brother.
I got into the elevator.
Chu Wen's deep voice rang out softly.
When did you go to find that person?
"What?"
Chu Muchao quickly realized what was going on and asked, "Are you asking when I brought the two 'parties involved' here?"
Chu Wen hummed in agreement.
Chu Muchao touched the tip of his nose, his smile a little guilty.
"After the rumors started, I... mainly because Sui Sui and Xin Bao happened to witness Xia Ling beating up the scumbag, so we knew that what was being spread was just a rumor, so... so we made preparations in advance."
Chu Wen chuckled: "You've thought of everything quite thoroughly."
But that laugh was mostly self-deprecating.
He realized that Chaochao no longer depended on him or needed him for everything.
