Hearing Chu Zhiruo's blabbering words, Chu Mengyao suddenly felt that she was so unfamiliar, not at all like the aunt in her memories who was filled with warmth and care for him. At this moment, her aunt seemed to be selfless, with only benefits in her eyes, a mere ice-cold businessman who only wanted profits.

"Aunt, I won't marry Wu Haoran." Mengyao raised her head to look at Chu Zhiruo. Her eyes were slightly cold, but her tone was extremely resolute. After saying that, she stood up, wanting to leave.

"Stop!" Chu Zhiruo's voice was somewhat ear-piercing.

Chu Mengyao stopped, she did not turn back, and her tone was still extremely unyielding, "Anyway, I won't marry Wu Haoran."

Chu Zhiruo's expression immediately changed, her tone became stiff, "If you don't want to marry Haoran, then you might as well. At worst, your Chu's will go bankrupt, and we'll carry a large amount of debts and live on the streets together." After saying that, she slowed down her tone, "You can't really not care about the arrival of that day, right? At that time, you will no longer be the young miss of the Chu family. You will no longer have a life of living without food or clothing, and you will be willful in painting. "You might be naive enough to think that you could sell paintings or play cellos, but have you ever thought that if those videos of yours were posted online, you would also become infamous? No one would buy your paintings, no one would ask you to play cello, no one would even hire you …"

"You really have a video?" Hearing Chu Zhiruo's words, Mengyao felt that his aunt had become very unfamiliar, and her heart had become very cold. Although she already knew that Chu Zhiruo's words weren't true, she didn't want to expose her. But Chu Zhiruo actually dared to threaten him with the video, this was too disappointing.

"Of course, you should know about Xie Nana's situation the best. Mengyao, with a thought, you could either be a heaven or a hell. " Chu Zhiruo's tone was still stiff.

"Will you put it online?" Chu Mengyao slowly raised her head and looked at Chu Zhiruo's clearly very familiar but somehow unfamiliar face.

"This will naturally depend on how you choose." Chu Zhiruo's face was extremely ugly.

"Aunt, I've lived with you for fourteen years. "Although I'm calling you auntie, in my heart, you're no different from my mother. I'm also your niece, and now you're treating me like this to force me?" Chu Mengyao's tears slowly streamed down.

Chu Zhiruo's expression was a little awkward as she said awkwardly, "This is also something that I have no choice in. If you agreed to this matter so readily, then why would I do this …"

With regards to Chu Zhiruo, she suddenly felt tired and didn't want to continue speaking, "Go do what you want, but I can only tell you that I absolutely won't marry Wu Haoran."

Chu Zhiruo looked at her in shock, "Aren't you afraid that …"

Chu Mengyao laughed bitterly, "What, is it those videos?"

Hearing Mengyao's resolute rejection, Chu Zhiruo was exceptionally furious, "I've said everything, but you're still going to say it like this. I finally know, you are just an ungrateful bastard, blindly raising you for so many years. Right now, your Chu's is facing a crisis, and you are still only concerned about yourself.

"Do you really think of me as your niece? In front of benefits, I'm just a bargaining chip!" Chu Mengyao could not help but retort, and her tears could not stop flowing, "If you truly love and care for me, and love me dearly, as long as I am your niece, then you will definitely not use my marriage as a trade, and even more so not lie to me, and use my so-called video to threaten me."

Hearing Chu Mengyao's accusation, Chu Zhiruo flew into a rage out of embarrassment, "You've disappointed me too much, you actually doubted me."

"I am also very disappointed. My dearest aunt, the only family in the world actually lied to me and threatened me!" Chu Mengyao was too sad, and her voice was broken.

Hearing her words, Chu Zhiruo was very unhappy, "What did I lie to you about? What I said was all true. It's all true."

"You haven't seen my video, right? Not to mention that you have it. But you actually used it to threaten me? " Chu Mengyao laughed bitterly.

Chu Zhiruo was stunned.

"There was indeed a man with me on the balcony that day, but he just kissed me. It wasn't some unsightly video you said."

Chu Zhiruo's eyes flickered a little. She did not think that this matter would develop in such a way, and was a little surprised.

"You are the most intimate person in the world to me. Why did you lie to me and threaten me?" Chu Mengyao looked at Chu Zhiruo and questioned him.

Chu Zhiruo was speechless, and could only remain silent.

"I will definitely not marry Wu Haoran." Chu Mengyao did not want to hurt anymore, so she left the office with her head lowered.

Chu Zhiruo felt her body soften as she slid onto the chair. She had originally thought that just by putting forth a little bit of emotion, she would be able to move Mengyao, and thus obediently submit to him. She had no choice but to threaten Chu Mengyao with an indecent video, but what she didn't expect was that there wouldn't be any indecent videos. Not only had she failed to achieve her goal, but she had also hurt the feelings between the two of them.

However, it was true that someone had used an indecent video to blackmail him. After Chu Zhiruo paid the money, she realized that the photos that she kissed were of Chu Mengyao and the video that was sent later on was actually Wu Haoran's. At that time, she was afraid that the release of the video would affect the marriage between the Chu Family and Wu Family, so she bought it.

Originally, Chu Zhiruo wanted to give the video to Wu Family and sell it to him, but she was afraid that Wu Ruming would not recognize her, so after some consideration, she decided to have the video posted online.

As expected, things went according to her expectations, and Wu Ruming soon discussed about cooperation with her.

However, what she did not expect was Chu Mengyao's resistance, that Wu Haoran had once again released an indecent video, and that the picture of him attempting to rape had also been posted online … It was getting worse and worse, out of her control.

Furthermore, due to her acting on her own, she now thought that she was very smart, and was able to control Chu Mengyao. In the end, not only did the marriage lose its leeway, her relationship with Chu Mengyao also became more tense.

The unsightly video on the internet was developing at a rapid pace. More and more people were paying attention to this matter. There seemed to be some kind of force driving the development of the situation. Not only did the disgraceful video not cool down, it even became more intense. Wu Haoran, Xie Nana and Du Zixuan all became hot search figures.

This situation even appeared on the television news, and was ordered by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology to rectify the online climate. However, there were no signs of this incident slowing down.

At the beginning, the netizens were very sympathetic towards her, thinking that she was a magnanimous and tolerant woman. However, later on, there was a post that began to delude her deeply, saying that she was a wanton woman, and that she was restless in the past, even though she was engaged to a man that was unclear.

Not only did the netizens make malicious guesses, some netizens even posted some photos of Chu Mengyao.

Not only were there pictures of his and Xiao Tian putting on her coat while they were eating, but there were pictures of Liang Chang embracing her from the heavens. There were also photos of her and Shangguan Rui looking at each other while they were eating Western food. There were also photos of her drinking with government officials, and there were also photos of her eating with Fu Yi. There were even photos of her leaving Yu Quan Manor late into the night …

The netizens' attention was easily diverted, and had already scoured back and forth between Wu Haoran, Xie Nana, and Du Zixuan many times, feeling that there was nothing new to it anymore. At this time, even more information about Chu Mengyao was made public, and everyone's attention immediately focused on her.

At this time, another group of photos appeared on the web, making everyone's evaluation of Chu Mengyao even lower. And Wu Ruming had even wanted to take this opportunity to cleanse Wu Haoran's face.

After separating from Chu Zhiruo in the office, Chu Mengyao returned home. She hadn't rested much the night before, and now that she was in such a bad mood, she felt dizzy. In the bedroom she lay down on the bed. However, because there were too many emotions surging in her heart, she was obviously exhausted to the point of death, yet she couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

For some reason, she suddenly recalled the scene when her aunt came to the orphanage to take her away. At that time, President Zhang Ping had held his hand, "Jingjing, this is your aunt." At that time, she didn't really understand this, so she just foolishly left the orphanage and came to the Chu Clan. The difference between the Chu family and an orphanage was huge. In the Chu family, she was like a princess and there was someone to bring her to school. When someone taught her to play the zither and paint, not only was her life more comfortable, but she also had family.

She still remembered that time when she suddenly went to her big aunt, she thought she was going to die and hid in her room to cry in panic. However, Chu Zhiruo knew that she was worried and scared, so she comforted herself with a light voice, and said smilingly, "Our Mengyao has finally grown up!"

The first time she went to Paris to participate in the cello competition, Chu Zhiruo knew that she had arrived at the hospital and immediately put down his work to accompany her there.

There had been too many tender moments between her and her aunt. During those years, she had truly believed that her aunt was her own mother. Just as Chu Zhiruo had said, although the two of them were uncles, in terms of relationship, they were no different from a mother and daughter.

Thinking about this, Chu Mengyao's eyes unconsciously became moist. The warm scenes from the past flashed past her eyes, as if it happened yesterday.

The most painful thing in the world was to be deceived by one's family. Right now, it was as though her aunt was wearing a mask and had become a completely different person. For the sake of money and benefits, she sold her out and even threatened her …
