Chapter 445: Fake

Chapter 445: Chapter 445: Fake

It must be said, the former president of Yulei International had put in painstaking efforts that are truly beyond the reach of ordinary people.

From beginning to end, Lin Zhiguo was kept in the dark, serving as the guardian of Lin Ruoxi and Lin Kun for more than twenty years. Lin Zhiguo racked his brains trying to make amends because Lin Ruoxi refused to acknowledge him as her "grandfather."

Even Ning Guangyao, a super leader in politics, was also caught up in this scheme.

Lin Ruoxi became the president of Yulei International at a young age, not only because of her outstanding abilities but also because there was someone secretly helping her. Without this hidden support, there would have been many who would try to trip her up.

Additionally, Lin Ruoxi was not fond of interacting with people and treated others coldly, yet she was exceptionally beautiful, sparking endless fantasies. If not for someone secretly watching over her, it was uncertain if Lin Ruoxi could have made it this far.

It was probably only in the past two years that Yulei had stabilized under Lin Ruoxi, and she had matured enough that the covert assistance had diminished.

Yang Chen was also quite puzzled. He had only known and married Lin Ruoxi for less than a year, and she encountered so many troubles. Could it be that before this, Lin Zhiguo had been the one handling these issues? Lin Zhiguo might be able to work in the shadows, but for some tasks, such as those involving the business world or the government, it would be challenging for him to intervene directly. It turns out, there was also Ning Guangyao, a super bigwig, helping out!

With Ning Guangyao's support behind the scenes, Yulei International didn't need to bother with government agencies. Even if Lin Ruoxi didn't engage in social activities, no one dared to give Yulei any trouble! Furthermore, Yulei had Mo Qianni handling public relations, leaving no worries at all.

Guo Xuehua didn't think too much about it. She just said, "Back in school, Zijing and I were in the same grade. At that time, Prime Minister Ning was a senior in our graduate school and also our class's teaching assistant. Zijing and I got to know Prime Minister Ning during that time."

As Guo Xuehua recounted, some hidden truths from the past were finally revealed bit by bit.

Back then, when they were still young and vibrant, Guo Xuehua and Xue Zijing, two young women, became familiar with Ning Guangyao because he specifically tutored their class and they had several encounters both on and off campus. The three of them gradually grew close.

Ning Guangyao was undoubtedly the white knight in the hearts of countless girls. His family background, education, looks, and widely praised character could firmly capture the hearts of many young women.

Naturally, Guo Xuehua and Xue Zijing were no exception. Moreover, both of them were exceptionally beautiful, each with their own charm.

Thus, the two women, whose friendship was originally closer than sisters, eventually developed subtle emotional changes because of the same man.

When Guo Xuehua spoke about her past affection for Ning Guangyao, she rarely blushed. It was evident that those memories were still fresh, and while lamenting the passage of time, she also regretted competing with Xue Zijing over Ning Guangyao.

Because, as Guo Xuehua later learned, Ning Guangyao had liked Xue Zijing from the start. His affection for Guo Xuehua was merely that of a brother's for his sister.

Hearing this, Yang Chen recalled how Ning Guangyao had reacted with anger when he heard about Guo Xuehua being confined at the Yang family's compound. It indeed seemed like the protection of an older brother, as Guo Xuehua had said.

However, most relationships in the world are often fated but not destined to be.

Back then, Guo Xuehua gradually realized she couldn't compete with Xue Zijing, so she broke off contact with her in anger. But what surprised her was that, instead of marrying Xue Zijing, Ning Guangyao married Luo Cuishan, the daughter of the then-prominent Luo family in Yanjing.

Later, most members of the Xue family left Yanjing for some reason, heading overseas, leaving Xue Zijing alone, seeming helpless in Yanjing.

"Whenever I think of Zijing, I always feel guilty," Guo Xuehua said, looking apologetically at Lin Ruoxi. "I was foolish back then, letting my resentment towards her prevent me from helping her. After a few years, I heard she had married into a family in the south, and we lost contact.

Yang Chen looked at Lin Ruoxi with a complicated expression, saying nothing, while Guo Xuehua sighed softly.

After a long pause, Lin Ruoxi picked up the receiver and, in as calm a voice as possible, said, "Hello, this is Lin Ruoxi."

On the other end of the line, Ning Guangyao didn't seem at all upset about the wait. In a comforting and warm voice, he said, "This is Ning Guangyao. I apologize for the abrupt call, President Lin. I hope you don't mind."

To hear such polite greetings from a prime minister, it's something even foreign presidents might not often encounter.

"Hmm," Lin Ruoxi responded softly, acknowledging his words.

Ning Guangyao didn't seem embarrassed and continued with a smile, "It's like this, my son did something very excessive. I just received the news myself. I assure you, President Lin, that I will handle this matter seriously and ensure that it doesn't cause you or your company any trouble."

"Handle it?" Lin Ruoxi's mouth twisted into a bitter smile. "How are you going to handle it?"

Ning Guangyao seemed surprised by Lin Ruoxi's calmness, but he still solemnly said, "The medical record that President Lin saw is actually fake. There's no need to worry about those nonsensical things. I have intercepted all the files that were sent to the media, so there will be no harmful information about you spreading. I also guarantee that my son will not bother you again in the future."

Fake? Fake?! Fake?!

He said everything was fake?!

The smile on Lin Ruoxi's face grew wider, almost to the point of losing control. "If the Prime Minister says it's fake, then of course it's fake. If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up."

With that, she hung up the phone without giving Ning Guangyao any chance to speak!

Because the house was very quiet, the conversation on the phone was heard clearly by everyone.

Aunt Wang and Guo Xuehua looked at Lin Ruoxi with deep sympathy and sorrow, not knowing how to comfort her.

Yang Chen clenched his fists, feeling very upset.

Her biological father was a fake. The emotions she invested and the hardships she endured were completely in vain. Her beloved grandmother had deceived her. To avoid disappointing her grandmother, she worked day and night, which now seemed laughable. Her biological mother had even had an affair and given birth to her.

When everything seemed unbearably heavy, her biological father came to tell her that it was all fake!

Even he didn't acknowledge everything!

Lin Ruoxi's eyes didn't show any sadness or anger. Instead, a cold indifference, like the icy expanse of the polar regions, replaced those emotions, which was more chilling than anything else.

Yang Chen suddenly felt ridiculous. Even if he could face thousands of troops and rockets, what did it matter? At this moment, he just wanted his wife to not show this expression, which was more desperate than despair itself, but he was powerless to help!

Suddenly, Lin Ruoxi's eyes became dazed. She closed her eyes again and fainted on the spot.
