Billionaire's First Doting Marriage

Chapter 2677: Chapter 818: Old Acquaintance

In fact, Lu Yinxing’s mind was completely blank.

From the moment that reporter asked the last question, Lu Yinxing felt as if she’d stepped off a cliff into empty air.

That feeling of plummeting straight down made Lu Yinxing feel like she was utterly finished.

Lu Yinxing didn’t even know how long she’d been sitting in the conference room.

Not until Momo came over to find her.

Momo brought Lu Yinxing to an office.

Sister Shan was there too.

And now, Sister Shan had completely figured out what was going on.

Her expression was just as serious.

Looking at Xia Ye sitting in the chair with a cold, distant face, she sighed. "So you two siblings aren’t related by blood. I was reckless back then. If, when that reporter was making things difficult just now, you’d fought back directly and announced the truth about your relationship while you were at it, we could’ve kept the controversy to a minimum. But now, if we try to clarify it, in the eyes of the media and everyone else it’ll only look like a PR move, and it’ll actually stir up more suspicion. Besides, that reporter was clearly prepared. I checked—Forest Entertainment is a newly risen media outlet, they specialize in digging into celebrity scandals, and the things they expose always turn out to be true. So in the public eye they’re pretty credible. If they deliberately start spreading rumors, it’ll be bad for you two."

While Sister Shan was analyzing the pros and cons on the side, Xia Ye still sat on the couch, tight‑lipped.

Sister Shan went on, "Don’t worry, I’ll talk to their company. I’ll do everything I can to suppress this as soon as possible. Anyway, you’ve already announced that you’re leaving the industry. Over the years, all sorts of rumors about you, some true some false—people aren’t going to take them that seriously. With time, this might just blow over. What I don’t get is, you’ve already announced your retirement, so why is this Forest Entertainment pressing so hard? Offending our company doesn’t do them any good."

As if something had just occurred to her, Sister Shan said, "Have we had some kind of feud with their company before?"

Xia Ye said nothing, his gaze cool and distant, as if he were lost in his own world.

At this moment, Lu Yinxing and Momo also walked in.

When Lu Yinxing saw Xia Ye, she suddenly said, "It’s Lin Zhi. I saw her. That female reporter is Lin Zhi."

Hearing that name again, Xia Ye’s brows furrowed slightly.

Xia Ye lifted his head and looked at Lu Yinxing.

In fact, Xia Ye had recognized her at the time as well.

But what Xia Ye was thinking about was the more complicated mess behind all this.

Momo asked on the side, "Lin Zhi, who’s Lin Zhi?"

Lu Yinxing had already calmed down by now.

On the way over just now, Lu Yinxing had also thought through a lot of things.

She’d basically pieced together the causes and consequences.

Lu Yinxing said, "She’s a high school classmate of mine and Xia Ye’s. But back then, a lot happened. Because of us, her reputation was ruined and she was forced to transfer schools. I think her showing up this time is a revenge she’s been planning for a long time. She’s definitely connected to Ah Du’s threats and blackmail from before."

Even though Ah Du has gone missing now.

Everyone knows there’s no way someone like Ah Du could’ve planned everything so meticulously on his own.

There are people behind them, maybe even quite a few.

And Lu Yinxing remembered that when Ah Du left, when she went to confront the person pulling the strings behind the scenes—

Ah Du didn’t say.

But Ah Du did say that they would meet again soon, and that it would be an old acquaintance.

Back then, Lu Yinxing hadn’t been able to figure it out.
