43 Scandal

\" Mr. Bear...? \" Zhi Chao was twitching.

\" Like a big teddy bear...? \" Hui Yin was just as shocked.

\" Hmm. \" Zhi Ruo casually nodded.

\" Sigh...don't say such misleading things...\" Zhi Duyi shook his head in disapproval but in his heart, he was really relieved.

\" What misleading thing? If I meet someone like him, I would really marry him. \" Zhi Ruo said with confidence.

The whole family: ... ' Right... ' ⚆ _ ⚆

They were very happy that their Ruoruo was acting happier and more childish so they could spoil her more but this sudden transformation was still a bit surprising, they were almost shocked silly.

While everyone was busy asking Zhi Ruo about Mr. Bear, the real Mr. Bear was secretly feeling extremely giddy inside, trying very hard to suppress the joy in his heart.

\" Didn't you guys say you won't laugh at me? \" Zhi Ruo exasperatedly complained as the whole family was laughing at her.

\" We are not. \" Zhi Chao tried very hard to hold back his laughter, \" We will welcome Mr. Bear with open arms if you ever find him. \"

Hearing this, even Wang Yong cracked a smile.

Zhi Ruo's eyes reached Wang Yong's smiling face and pouted even more, \" Even Xiao Yong is laughing at me now! \"

\" I hope you find your Mr. Bear quickly. \" Wang Yong tried to say the words very naturally.

\" We all hope that you will find him fast. \" Hui Yin laughed happily.

\" Hmph! Just wait till I bring him home and you guys will be forced to accept him! \" Zhi Ruo pretended to be mad but even she couldn't hold back her laugh and everyone started to laugh.

...

Walking into her workplace, Zhi Ruo retransformed into the cold CEO she was and confidently walked into her office.

However, along the way to her office, she could feel a lot of unpleasant gazes on her and whispers flying everywhere she went.

Zhi Ruo frowned but tried to remain unperturbed.

Reaching her office, she started sorting out the documents she had to get done by the end of the day.

\" President! \" Lin Xia rushed into her office without knocking.

\" What? \" Zhi Ruo raised her head, unhappy that she was disturbed so abruptly.

\" How do we handle the situation? \" Lin Xia urged Zhi Ruo.

\" Handle what? \" Zhi Ruo furrowed her brows.

\" The news and the tabloids! \" Lin Xia answered.

\" What do you mean? Speak clearly! What is happening right now? \" Zhi Ruo was confused.

\" President you don't know? \" Lin Xia appeared shocked.

\" I said speak clearly. Don't make me repeat myself three times. \"

Lin Xia promptly opened her tablet and showed her the recent trending title: Rich Millionaire Li Wei cheating on his fiancee, Zhi Ruo, President of Z Empire!!!

\" The reporters are going crazy! We released false information so they were waiting at a restaurant this morning but they are going to realize sooner or later that you are actually here and are going to block the entrance of the company!\" Lin Xia anxiously said.

Zhi Ruo quickly read over the article and finally stopped on the picture of Li Wei helping a girl into the car, their bodies sticking very close to each other.

She was personally not surprised, ' I mean...the male lead is always surrounded by rumours either way but for him to have the audacity to drag me down with him is just intolerable... '

Thinking about it, didn't she also walk around with Wang Yong? How come this didn't happen with Wang Yong? Sigh...the male lead halo is very funny...(｡◕‿‿◕｡)

\" Calm down, this is nothing big anyway. Just release a statement that says that he and I already had plans to break off the engagement as there is no love between us and it's just an old promise. Precise that this has nothing to do with me. \" Zhi Ruo casually instructed.

\" President, you really will break off the engagement? \" Lin Xia was a bit baffled.

\" What's wrong with that? \" Zhi Ruo gave her a cold look.

\" Nothing! \" Lin Xia instantly replied scaredly.

\" Oh and help me find information about the girl in the picture. I want to know who she is. \" Zhi Ruo ordered.

' Does the president actually secretly care? ' Lin Xia thought.

\" Why are you still standing here? Hurry and go! I have a lot of things to do, I don't have time for this nonsense. \" Zhi Ruo whooshed her away and went back to her work.

The reason that she asked Lin Xia to investigate was that Zhi Ruo suspected the girl in the picture to be the female lead or another fellow villain character. Either way, she would be prepared for anything unpredictable that could happen.

As for the Internet, they kept getting pulled in different directions. One second, Li Wei was a cheating bastard jerk and Zhi Ruo was a hopeless victim and the next second the romantic story never even existed between the two of them.

Some people started to think that the engagement was actually destroyed by the third person in the situation and blamed the ' cheating couple ' of ruining Zhi Ruo's happiness. Another bunch was trying to get information on the mistress while others tried to comfort Zhi Ruo on a completely dead Weibo account.

It was not every day that the normal citizens knew about the scandals of the upper elite of the society.

...

Arriving at home, after a long day at work and a horde of reporters surrounding her, Zhi Ruo exhaustingly plopped on her bed.

Knock Knock.

\" Come in. \" Zhi Ruo answered, her head buried in her pillow.

\" Ruoruo! Look what I got you! \" Zhi Chao smiled.

\" What? \" Zhi Ruo asked without lifting her head.

\" The man of your life! Mr. Bear! \" Zhi Chao proudly said.

Hearing him, Zhi Ruo looked up and saw the gigantic pink bear plush toy that was almost as tall as Zhi Chao.

Zhi Ruo blinked twice before running towards the fluffy bear.

\" Mr. Bear! \" Zhi Ruo happily hugged the bear and cheered.

Wang Yong who was about to call them down to eat happened to see the scene: ...
