At 2 a.m., an article titled “Gold Digger, With Pictures and Truth” became a trending topic.

The article provided a detailed description of the time, place, and various locations where the woman had been seen with different men. Surveillance footage and photos were attached, with Fang Yuan’s face featured prominently. The men, however, had their backs or half of their faces shown. Despite the attempts to conceal their identities, the figures hinted that they were not ordinary men. The photos captured moments of holding hands, arms, kissing, and even a few pixelated bed pictures.

As soon as the trending topic surfaced, netizens erupted in a frenzy of comments.

[Wow, this face, this waist, and this chest. If it were me, I wouldn’t be able to resist either. I’d give her anything she wants!]

[This girl is something else. Why does one of the photos look like Young Master Bo?]

[Is she the reincarnation of a vixen? Look at the clothes she’s wearing. It’s quite telling.]

[She didn’t spare even the older men. Quite professional!]

Various sarcastic comments flooded in, and occasionally, some users tried to defend Fang Yuan. However, under the deliberate influence of certain individuals, these supportive comments vanished without a trace.

Among the discussions, the set of photos from a fashion competition garnered the most attention. In these pictures, a man was shown intensely watching a girl on stage. Dressed in a suit and leather shoes, the slender man stood at the entrance of the lounge, seemingly awaiting someone. Subsequent photos depicted the man and the girl engaged in a kiss within the lounge.

Many netizens who had attended the fashion competition recognized the man as Cheng Mohan and left comments.

[I was there. President Cheng himself stated that he was there for a girl!]

[Exactly! I heard him say it, and I even witnessed President Cheng rushing to the lounge after the competition concluded.]

[This is too exciting. If 1 had known earlier, 1 would have stayed up later!]

Because it was early in the morning, the Cheng family only found out about the situation in the morning.

When Fang Yuan woke up and went downstairs, she noticed her parents and Eldest Brother engrossed in a discussion.

“Good morning, Dad, Mom, Eldest Brother.”

The three of them couldn’t help but express their sympathy for her. The moment they saw the article, they knew the content wasn’t true, especially the photo of the kiss. How could Cheng Mohan and his sister… It was too absurd! Remarkable individuals were always the target of envy.

Fang Yuan also sensed something amiss and inquired, “Did something happen?”

Qiao Xinhui stepped forward and gently held her daughter’s hand. “Yuanyuan, take a break for the next few days. Don’t go to the company. Stay at home. Dad, Mom, and Brother will handle everything.”

Without responding, Fang Yuan glanced at Cheng Mohan.

Cheng Mohan handed his phone to Fang Yuan. “Yuanyuan, listen to Mom and take a break at home. Eldest Brother will take care of this matter.”

Fang Yuan took the phone and examined it. She raised her eyebrows. ‘These surveillance footage and photos… Looks like they came prepared! Moreover, there are no traces of Photoshop on those photos. They seem quite real and likely produced by AL’

Concerned for her well-being, Qiao Xinhui quickly took back her phone. “My precious daughter, don’t be sad. This matter will be resolved soon.”

Fang Yuan didn’t say much and nodded. After breakfast, she returned to her room. Given her recent hectic schedule, she treated it as a brief respite. As she pondered, she took out her phone and chatted with Big Blackie and Second Blackie.

After a while, Bo Yi hurriedly arrived.

The four of them discussed matters in the living room. After an extended conversation, Bo Yi headed upstairs to find Fang Yuan.

This was Bo Yi’s first time entering Fang Yuan’s room, and he was filled with excitement. He knocked on Fang Yuan’s door.

“Come in!” Fang Yuan’s clear voice echoed.

Bo Yi pushed the door open and found Fang Yuan lounging against the headboard with her long legs crossed. She was clad in blue-gray pajamas, exuding a laid-back and casual aura.

“It’s me, Yuanyuan,” Bo Yi’s voice carried a mix of love and concern.

“Oh, you’re here. Come in.”

Bo Yi left the door ajar. Given the circumstances and the unfamiliar setting, he didn’t want to attract unnecessary attention. Though he was confident that he would marry Fang Yuan, he didn’t want to jeopardize her reputation.

Approaching, Bo Yi embraced her. “Yuanyuan, I’m sorry. 1 didn’t protect you well. I’ll handle this matter.” Naturally, he was present in the photos, each depicting moments in Fang Yuan’s company—hugs, kisses, and hand-holding.

Fang Yuan responded nonchalantly, “This has nothing to do with you.”

Bo Yi held her even closer. “You don’t have to worry about anything. Leave everything to me.”

Fang Yuan felt her heart warmed, as if no one had ever shielded her like this before. She replied, “Okay.”

Xiao Cui, who was tidying up, happened to witness this scene. Seeing them embrace, she hurriedly went to Cheng Yuqi’s room and gently knocked on the door.

Cheng Yuqi wasn’t an early riser and was still asleep. Since her room was near Fang Yuan’s, Xiao Cui refrained from knocking too loudly or entering directly. Instead, she hurried downstairs to seek Auntie Wang.

In the kitchen, Auntie Wang was selecting fruits to prepare juice for Cheng Yuqi. She had also seen the online rumors about Fang Yuan and was about to share the good news when Cheng Yuqi woke up. Upon hearing from Xiao Cui that Bo Yi was in Fang Yuan’s room, and they were seen hugging, the two women were alarmed and hastened straight to Cheng Yuqi’s room. Given their close relationship, barging in was acceptable..
