"That's right. Who is this woman? She's so powerful."

"What's so impressive about that? I think he's just shameless!"

"Right, I think it's because his skills in bed are really good, tsk tsk …"

And so it went. There were all sorts of nasty things being said, obscenities being spoken one after another.

She was so angry that she trembled, and threw the phone onto the table heavily. Then, as if she had thought of something, she grabbed it in her hands and dialed Si Lianye's number.

The man paused, and then used a calm tone to speak: "Miss Shen."

She was stunned, why was he not Si Lianye?

The man continued, "I'm sorry, I'm the CEO's secretary. He's in a meeting and I have his phone with him for the time being."

She understood. There was an indescribable complicated feeling in her heart. She was both angry and embarrassed. "Oh."

The man paused, then said, "The president will be back in about half an hour. Do you need me to report to him?"

She tightened her grip on her phone and said, "No need, I'll call him when the time comes."

"Alright." The voice said respectfully.

She put down her phone, wanting to leave it there, but she couldn't help but to pick it up and swipe through her Weibo. In the end, she saw that not only did the news not go down, it had even received a lot of attention, and there were countless of messages below, the majority of which were scolded at her for being shameless. Some people even tried to attack her personally, and even Le Le was implicated.

She couldn't hold it in anymore and threw the phone on the table, letting out a crisp sound. She was so angry that her face turned red and her chest heaved up and down. She was in a state of extreme anxiety.

It was fine that those people were scolding her, but why did they want to implicate Le Le as well? He's still so young, and he's completely innocent!

Just then, her phone rang again. Her eyes lit up and without even looking at her phone, she picked it up, "Hello, Si Lianye, you …"

A calm male voice came from the other side, "Xi Ran, it's me."

The breath she had been holding in within her heart momentarily stunned her. "It's you."

"You sound disappointed." Shangguan Zhe said.

"No, no." She took a deep breath and said, "I was looking for him when your call came in."

"Is it because of what happened on Weibo?" he asked.

Her hand tightened and she nodded. "You saw it too." She laughed bitterly: "I never thought that I would be dressed like this just by going out with him for a while. Even Le Le was implicated, and so was you."

"This matter cannot be entirely blamed on you. Back then, when I said that Le Le was my child, I also had second thoughts." he said in a low voice.

"You mean well, I understand. It's just that now that the matter between you and Le Le has been dug up, I have implicated you two." "No," she said.

"Don't worry, these are just small matters. I've already had them taken care of."

"Is that so?" She was startled.

"Yes, this is the internet era, and netizens are easily excited and easily forgotten, so this is not as bad as you think." he said gently.

"Thank you so much." She was greatly relieved.

"Actually, you don't have to worry. Actually, someone else helped you deal with it before I started. Right now, you're pretty much gone."

"Really, I'll take a look later." She was about to hang up when she heard him speak again.

He asked her: "Have Xiao Rou contacted you during these two days?"

"She? "No, isn't she on her honeymoon?" she asked in surprise.

"Mm, yes, but …" He mumbled something, then said, "Then it's okay, I'll hang up first."

With that, she hung up the phone. The doubt in her heart about Xiao Rou only lasted for a few seconds, before she quickly gave up on thinking about it and opened up her Weibo. When she took a look, she suddenly discovered that the hot news about her and Si Lianye had already disappeared from her Weibo.

It was obviously a national idol, but in the end, it was secretly taken online. The scale was much larger than theirs, so everyone's attention was immediately attracted by this piece of news.

She heaved a sigh of relief when she saw this, and just as Shangguan Zhe had said, the netizens' enthusiasm rose quickly, and left even faster. Even if a few of them complained a little and said that they were being publicized, they were immediately washed away by the waves of comments, leaving nothing behind.

Right at that moment, her phone vibrated. Someone was calling, she took a look, it was Si Lianye.

She picked it up, and Si Lianye said right there: "Xi Ran, you were looking for me?"

She remembered what Shangguan Zhe had said before, and nodded: "You saw this news very early in the morning, and scared me."

"What news?" Before he could react, he paused and said, "Are you talking about the headlines on Weibo? Don't worry, I've already dealt with them." He spoke in a casual manner, as if this matter was nothing at all.

She did not forget how she felt when she saw those comments. She said, "You don't seem to take it seriously at all?"

He chuckled. "Of course, there are definitely some people with such headlines. Otherwise, it would just be a photo of us riding a wooden horse, not a bed. Why would it be spread like this? It would be easy to understand the reason."

She was somewhat surprised. She had thought that this matter was only inadvertently posted online by bystanders, but in the end, it turned out to be manipulated by someone from the back?

She couldn't help but ask, "Why did they do this?"

He carelessly said, "It's possible for the sake of money and also for the sake of fame. Maybe it's just to strike a blow against me. All sorts of reasons are possible. But now that we've solved it, you can rest assured."

"Yeah, I was worried to death about that. Someone had even talked about Le Le." she complained in a low voice.

"Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to Le Le." He said in a low voice.

"Yes."

After putting down the phone, she felt a little uneasy. It was as if she hadn't done anything yet. She waited for a long time before she remembered that she had forgotten to tell him that his mother had called to threaten her.

However, it was his mother after all. It probably wouldn't be of any use even if he told her.

She thought about it, but decided not to take it to heart. Instead, she secretly paid attention to it.

When night fell, Si Lianye returned home even later than usual. It was obvious that he was not as relaxed as she was on the phone.

It made her unable to speak even if she wanted to.

A few more days had passed, and her wish to go to work was heartlessly called back by Si Lianye, so she was basically bored everyday. After being bored for many days, she thought for a while, then called Xiao Rou.

She didn't want to find her and play with her. After all, she had a big stomach and was going to give birth to her baby. However, it was still okay to chat with her.

But this time, for some reason, only after a long while, did Xiao Rou pick up the phone. Furthermore, her appearance gave Shen Xiran a shock: "Xiao Rou, what's wrong with you? Sick? "

Due to Xiao Rou's flaw, they had always used video calling.

She looked haggard and her eyes were red. It was obvious that she had been crying.

After Shen Xiran finished asking, he bit his lips and shook his head — — I'm fine.

No wonder, it was obvious that something was up.

She changed her way of asking: "Did you quarrel with Lin Zixuan?"

Xiao Rou still shook her head, but she didn't say anything this time.

She knew what was going on, and understood that it had to be related to Lin Zixuan. She could not help but be infuriated: "That bastard Lin Zixuan, you're still telling me to take care of you, and yet you're doing it in such a way?" Forget about Xiao Rou having a big stomach, even if she didn't have one, he wouldn't be able to make her cry.

Xiao Rou saw that she was scolding Lin Zixuan but she was anxious, and anxiously said, "No, no, it has nothing to do with him."

She looked at her face carefully and asked, "Is it really okay?"

Xiao Rou nodded firmly — There was really nothing.

"Alright then." Shen Xiran squinted his eyes: "Then it has to do with his family."

After saying this, her face immediately turned pale, and her tiny teeth tightly clenched her lower lip, making her look extremely pitiful.

How could he not understand? Shen Xiran was immediately enraged: "What's going on with their family? Didn't I say they will treat you well?"

Xiao Rou's pale face revealed a bitter smile, she wanted to say something but hesitated – Actually, I can't blame them, I was too stupid.

She refused to say what she was going to say next.

Shen Xiran couldn't get a single answer out of him, and couldn't help but say gloomily: "If you're going to act like this, I'm going to look for your brother."

Xiao Rou immediately shook her head fiercely with her eyes wide open — No, no.

"Why?"

— Because I've worried him too many times since I was a kid, and this time I don't want to worry him, and it's just a small matter. Trust me, I'll be fine.

"But you won't even tell me what it is?" Shen Xiran looked at her gloomily. He never knew that the usually gentle and gentle her would actually have such perseverance.

Xiao Rou smiled at her and said — It's fine, I'll tell you after I settle it.

"Alright, remember, don't try to be brave. If it doesn't work, then just tell us, do you understand?" Shen Xiran instructed her again.

— Don't worry, I will.

Hanging up the phone, she felt even more worried in her heart. Xiao Rou's personality was indeed good, but she, who was so weak, actually suffered a lot at times. For example, right now, even if her life was not good, she was unwilling to tell her about it.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh.

"Why sigh?" Suddenly, a voice came from behind her.

She turned around and a smile appeared on her lips. After so many days of teamwork, she had finally managed to suppress the anger in her heart. At least on the surface, she would be able to live in peace with him.

She said, "It's nothing. She just called my friend. She doesn't seem very happy."

"Oh? "Why?" Si Lianye seemed to be in a good mood today as she lazily leaned on her side and asked.

"It seems that her family dislikes her, but I don't understand. She is so nice, so gentle and quiet, why does someone dislike her just like that?" She said what she was thinking in a bad mood.

On the other hand, he was calm. "That's normal. Just like what people on the internet said, people aren't money. It's impossible for everyone to like people. Besides, there are people who don't even like money."

She leered at him. "You always speak for others."

She harrumphed, thinking of his mother's methods towards her, and couldn't help but be angry at him.

He frowned as his tone turned more serious, "Xi Ran, I am just discussing the matter."

"That's right. Since you're only talking about the matter, I'll just do my best to help you, okay?" She snappily stood up and said, "I just don't like you guys to be so cold-blooded. How can everyone not like you? It's not like everyone likes you now, right? She's such a good person, yet she's still targeted. Hmph, I think it's all a man's fault."
