Xi Xiaye frowned when she heard Xiao Mei’s words. A cold light flashed through her eyes and she went silent for a moment before asking, “How do you guys know that she did it on purpose?”

Xiao Mei laughed. “It’s so obvious in the close-up photo! We aren’t blind. If it were not for your quick reaction, your dress would’ve been ruined but, Director Xi, you were really beautiful that night. Some of our colleagues took pictures of you and saved it as their phone wallpaper. You’re really inspirational! Also, we know how your personality is… We’ll all support you till the end. Now, no one knows that was you anyway…”

Xi Xiaye listened quietly as Xiao Mei blabbered on. Soon, she apologetically stopped talking after realizing she had been talking non-stop.

“I’ll get back to work then, Director. Whatever you asked me to do will be completed soon!” Xiao Mei left the room then.

Xi Xiaye switched on her laptop after Xiao Mei left and logged onto Weibo…

After looking through her work for a while, her frown grew deeper. Following a moment of hesitation, she grabbed her phone and gave Mu Yuchen a call.

Mu Yuchen was monitoring the share market when he received Xi Xiaye’s call.

“What’s up?” His calm voice reached her ears.

“Did you see the official Weibo of our company? Xi Xinyi’s incident seems to have caused a big stir. There are many comments on our Weibo now. I’m worried that the company’s image will be affected. It’s possible that she might use this news to raise her popularity. After all, it’s a pretty common trick within the entertainment industry,” Xi Xiaye replied him with a slightly grim tone.

“What are you worried about? The company’s image isn’t going to break so easily because of a minor character. Wait until people see our results in the new share market. Everyone will understand.” Mu Yuchen was calm as usual. He was not anxious about it at all. Sometimes even she had to admit his composed att.i.tude was really impressive.

“But if they…” Just as Xi Xiaye still wanted to say something else, Mu Yuchen interrupted her, “Ignore it. Do whatever is your responsibility, alright?”

Xi Xiaye was at a loss for words when she heard his indifferent tone of voice. She took a deep breath and said, “Okay, then. I’m just reminding you about it. I hope we don’t make any loss out of this.”

“A person that can outwit me hasn’t appeared yet. Just wait and see if you don’t believe me.” He let out a quiet laugh before hanging up the call.

Xi Xiaye put her hand on her forehead as she looked at the dark screen. With the doubts in her mind cleared away, she closed the Weibo window and opened the doc.u.ments on the South River Project, starting another new work day.

At the same time, in the CEO office of Yueying.

Deng Wenwen was sitting before her desk with Yue Lingsi standing beside her. The two of them were looking at the computer screen together, their expressions terrible.

“Mother, what should we do? Look at the comments on Weibo and these newspapers! This matter is getting more and more out of hand. Some media companies have called us to ask for clarification on what happened. I didn’t let Xinyi come to the office this morning.”

Yue Lingsi looked at the newspaper in her hand and read through its contents, her eyebrows furrowing as her face seemed distressed. “If Mushan finds out about this, he’ll be furious. I asked Xinyi about what happened, but she refused to tell me. Just by looking at the Weibo and the photo, it’s obvious that that witch Xi Xiaye was trying to defame Xinyi! And yet, Xinyi refuses to defend herself!”

Yue Lingsi was enraged and anxious at the same time.

Xi Mushan hated scandalous news like these. He had been strongly against Xi Xinyi’s decision to enter the entertainment industry back then, but in the end, he remained silent because of Deng Wenwen. As she said, Yueying was in the entertainment industry after all.

If this matter got out of hand, not only would it affect Xi Xinyi and Yueying, but even Xi Mushan…

Xi Mushan’s patience had been wearing thin recently because of Xi Xiaye and her mother’s matter. Sometimes, he might even get violent with Yue Lingsi if…

Yue Lingsi suddenly felt this matter was extremely complex. Xi Mushan was someone who would not open up easily. Even after staying by his side for over 20 years, she never really knew what he was thinking about. She had to admit that she was afraid of Xi Mushan.

Deng Wenwen’s expression was dark and strained while her eyes were sharp.

Yue Lingsi got more anxious when Deng Wenwen did not react at all. She could not help but voice out, “Mother, please say something. Isn’t Xinyi your favorite? If this ends badly, I’m really afraid that Mushan will get angry, and the image Xinyi has built up over so many years will be ruined. Look at this news. They even revealed news from several years ago and tried to make things difficult for Xinyi. That witch Lin Ling made things even worse. She kept spreading bad rumors about Xinyi! Even Caitlyn joined in the fray as well. Have you forgotten that Xinyi mentioned Xiaye is on good terms with Caitlyn?”

“This matter is quite tricky. We can only observe the situation for some time. Isn’t there a charity dinner at the w.a.n.g Corporation tomorrow? Send Xinyi over. Ignore these scandals for now and go about as usual. I hope you can focus on the stakeholder meeting for now. I called CEO He yesterday and found out that he sold his shares to someone already. We have to find out who’s behind this to avoid any loss on our end.”

Deng Wenwen closed the Weibo page, her expression grim. “I have a feeling that something’s not right. We have to get that doc.u.ment back from Shen Wenna as soon as possible.”

“But Mushan won’t agree to it. That’s Mushan’s compensation to her when they got divorced. Mother, have you forgotten that Mushan almost broke off relations with you the last time. If we do it now, he’ll surely…” Yue Lingsi reminded with a frown.

Deng Wenwen suddenly let out a cold snicker. “Don’t worry. He’ll have to agree to it. Yueying is the Xi family business. How can we let an outsider take charge of it? I have my way of getting him to agree.”
