But she had been at home for a long time, and every day she followed the development of the affair. Looking at the photos of Wu Haoran and his show of love that was repeatedly shown on the television, and all sorts of positive propaganda from Wu Haoran, she faintly felt that something was amiss. The more the netizens focused on Xie Nana, the more she felt like she was the scapegoat for Wu Haoran, and he had stepped on her to wash clean herself.

Her situation was already very bad, and she couldn't afford to offend Wu Haoran right now. She even more so, had to tightly hug his thigh in order to live on in a dignified manner.

However, the thing that annoyed Xie Nana the most was that Wu Haoran did not pay attention to her at all. The phone calls she made were never answered, and she was even pulled in by Wu Haoran afterwards.

There was no other way, Xie Nana could only disguise herself and go to the villa, wanting to see him there. However, the moment the nanny saw her, she was not allowed to enter, because she used to be rather generous to the nanny. On the other hand, the nanny did not hide her whereabouts from Wu Haoran, "The Young Master has returned to his house, the Madam said that you cannot come to the villa again."

Hearing this, Xie Nana's heart sank to the bottom of the sea. She didn't know where she should go, or where her future path would lead.

The news of the collaboration of Wu's and Chu's caused a lot of commotion in the financial world, and the deliberate hype caused people to pay even more attention to it. As a result, the share prices of the two companies rose significantly, and people were very optimistic about their growth.

When Chu Mengyao saw the news of their collaboration in the newspaper, she deliberately asked Bai Xue about this matter. When she heard Bai Xue mention that the two families' funds had actually reached a few hundred million, she was stunned.

In the past, when the funds for Chu's were broken, they would always watch coldly from the side when things were at their worst, but now, they actually decided to cooperate with Chu's in such a generous manner. Even Chu Mengyao herself did not have high hopes for the project, but for the old cunning fox Wu Ruming, how could he not see through it?

Several hundred million had been invested, and the amount of the Chu's was currently negative on the books. They could not even pay the interest of the bank, so who was the one who paid for all this?

Unknowingly, when Chu Mengyao thought of what Xiao Yuan had said at the banquet, a shadow flashed through his heart. She always felt that this cooperation case was filled with a sense of conspiracy.

Wu Haoran had asked Chu Mengyao out to eat a few times, but he rejected him all the way. He immediately went to find Chu Zhiruo and let her deal with it.

Chu Zhiruo asked Mengyao to accompany him to a banquet, but Chu Mengyao rejected directly.

"You're on vacation right now. What's the matter? "Besides, didn't you promise to help Haoran? What are you doing now?"

"Aunt, I've been in public with Haoran a few times, and now the video has gone down, and there's almost no mention of Haoran in the netizens." I don't have to be in public with him anymore. "

"What do you mean? Right now, in the eyes of outsiders, you are an unmarried couple, the heirs to Chu's and the Wu's. You represent the image of our two families. It's not a good thing for you if your image of Haoran is damaged. The two of you are now one.

"Auntie, I've already made an agreement with him. We'll find a chance to get rid of him when the matter is over." "Now that the incident is over, I have no obligation to pretend to be in love with him."

Hearing her determined words, Chu Zhiruo did not dare push her any further, and her tone became slightly more relaxed, "Right now, we have a cooperation case with Wu's, even if you do not want to, you have to consider the benefits of the company, at this point in time, it is not right for us to be in the young miss' bad temper."

"I heard that our Chu's uses methods to get this opportunity to cooperate. Aunt, tell me, is this true?" Chu Mengyao stared straight at Chu Zhiruo, hoping that she would answer him directly.

"Don't listen to others' nonsense. How is this possible?" Chu Zhiruo's face did not look too good as she immediately denied it.

"Aunt, in the future, I will not appear in any occasion in my name as Wu Haoran's fiancee, nor will I appear in any public place together with Wu Haoran."

Chu Zhiruo was a little surprised by her intense reaction.

"I hope we cancel our engagement after the new year." Chu Mengyao added.

"You are truly too willful. You have truly disappointed me." Chu Zhiruo's words were a little harsh, and her tone became a little stiff, "We still have several hundred million in cooperation with Wu's, what you're doing now …"

"Business is business, you promised me long ago that Wu Haoran and I would break the engagement." Chu Mengyao did not retreat at all.

"I promised you, but didn't you promise me that you would not announce the end of the engagement? How can you say that wind is the rain's regret? " Chu Zhiruo's face turned ugly.

"I have done all that I can to help Haoran. I can't spend all day in a mask pretending to love someone I don't love. "

After pausing for a moment, Chu Mengyao continued, "I do respect my aunt, but I will not sell out my feelings and marriage, in exchange for benefits." These words were heavy, but they were the truth. She was not stupid enough to notice the several hundred million yuan that had been poured into the cooperation proposal. How could she not see that there was anything inappropriate about it? Although she did not directly say that Chu Zhiruo was using him as an exchange, merely saying these words out loud was out of consideration for her and Chu Zhiruo's many years of kinship.

"Isn't it all for your sake that I am doing this now? Is Chu's still not yours in the future?"

In the past, whenever Chu Zhiruo said something like that, Mengyao would compromise according to her wishes. "I think my aunt should have understood what I mean. I hope you can consider my point."

"Consider your ideas? Then what about Chu's? Mengyao, don't be emotional. You are you, but you are not only yourself, you also have the Chu's behind you. Don't do anything impulsively, don't be too selfish.

Chu Mengyao frowned, her meaning was extremely clear, and her aunt wanted to continue speaking.

If Chu Zhiruo were to continue, she could not guarantee that she would not say any harsh words. Without thinking, she directly ended the topic, "Aunt, I have an appointment. "I'll be leaving first."

Without waiting for Chu Zhiruo to speak, she turned and left.

Chu Zhiruo was furious and angry at the same time, but she was even more confused in her heart.

Thinking about her attitude towards this matter, Chu Zhiruo started to have a headache. She didn't even want to look at Wu Haoran, what about the cooperation case?

Right now, they had only achieved their intentions but the funds for Wu's had not come over yet. Chu Zhiruo felt that her head was big, and she was extremely annoyed.

When Chu Mengyao came to Ai Ting's house, the lazy little cat was still sleeping.

Chu Mengyao opened the curtains and poured the sunlight directly into the room. Ai Ting reflexively covered her eyes with her hands and muttered, "Let me sleep a little more."

"It's already noon, are you still sleeping?" Chu Mengyao smiled and looked at her: "What did you do last night, aren't you going to sleep?" It was only then that Chu Mengyao saw the mess on the bed. It did not look like the usual situation for Ai Ting at all.

"I want to take a bath first. Can Mengyao help me get some water?" Ai Ting spoke in a slightly spoiled manner, her eyes still half-closed!

Chu Mengyao quickly let go of the water. When Ai Ting came in wearing her pajamas, she saw the scars on her neck. Thinking about the situation on the bed, she understood.

When Ai Ting was bathing in the bathroom, she started to tidy up the room. She found a rectangular box that looked very familiar. Ai Ting had never liked this kind of luxury goods before, but she felt that it was too wasteful. Now you're buying it, is that right?

But when she thought about it carefully, this box seemed to be exactly the same as the one Xiaoyiran left in the conference room. Could it be that there was something about Ai Ting and her that she did not know about?

Just by guessing, Chu Mengyao was already somewhat unable to believe it. If she remembered correctly, Director Zhang seemed to have mentioned that Xiaoyiran had a wife. Hearing the sound of water splashing in the bathroom, Chu Mengyao wanted to ask Ai Ting directly, but she felt that it was not appropriate.

After thinking about it, she still felt that it was necessary for her to remind Ai Ting of this as her friend.

By the time Ai Ting was ready to go, it was already one o'clock. The two of them then drove to a nearby restaurant to eat.

"Tingting, I'm going to the capital to sign with the Hundred Group Corporation!"

"That's good. Congratulations." Ai Ting had a good appetite today and was eating happily.

"Director Xiao came to negotiate the contract as well. If I had known you were coming back, I would have invited you guys to dinner. " Chu Mengyao tried to test the waters.

"Forget it, I'm not familiar with him," Ai Ting's words carried a hint of indifference. "It's boring to eat with this kind of rich person."

Chu Mengyao looked at Ai Ting, "He is a very gentle person. There are colleagues in our company who have a good impression of him, and they even specially asked Director Zhang about his matters. I heard that he's married, and I'm a little disappointed! "

Chu Mengyao purposely pointed out the fact that Xiaoyiran was already married.

"Oh." Ai Ting just lowered her head and continued eating.

"Tingting, have you ever seen Director Xiao's wife?" Chu Mengyao intentionally asked like this.

"Mengyao, this fish soup tastes pretty good. Try it." Ai Ting did not answer Mengyao's question. Instead, she picked up the bowl in front of him and scooped some food for him.

"This world is still too harsh on women." In the end, Chu Mengyao still said it out loud. After all, she was too worried about Ai Ting.

"You, a young miss who doesn't need to worry about food and clothing, how can you feel this way?" Ai Ting teased.

You want to go on a video call?" "You want to go on a video call?" "You want to go on a video call. Everyone seemed to have forgotten about the other protagonist, Wu Haoran. But even though Wu Haoran and I have one more her, it's not all because of her that we broke off the engagement. Others, who didn't understand the situation, still thought that she was a junior. She can't work now, he can't even travel normally, it's pretty sad. " Chu Mengyao thought for a moment, thinking that this matter with Xena was a perfect example.

"I've been too busy filming recently to notice this."

"Do you remember when the entertainment industry was in an uproar. The boys cheated when the women were pregnant and it caused quite a stir? Later on, the man apologized and returned to his family with deep emotions, but that pervert would still be mentioned from time to time about being a mistress. He was originally a rising B-list celebrity, but now he can only play a few minor supporting roles. " Chu Mengyao continued.
