CHAPTER 620: CHAPTER 609: THE DIVINE DOCTOR FATHER-IN-LAW OF THE PRESTIGIOUS FAMILY’S DAUGHTER-IN-LAW

Li Chengyu stared at the comments on the internet, his eyes bloodshot, yet his hand kept scrolling down.

"I just took a look at Mr. Ye’s photos and reviewed her resume. Not only is she beautiful, but she is also an outstanding graduate from Qingbei University. Sorry folks, I was imagining a Cinderella marrying a Prince fairy tale, but I’ll back off now."

"Eh? Isn’t this Mr. Ye also the daughter of Ye Qiu who developed the cancer buster? It’s true that none of the women who marry into wealthy families are simple."

"It seems like these two new products from Gu Pharmaceutical were developed by Ye Qiu. This is a powerful alliance!"

"Could the Gu Group have staged this whole thing just for the launch of a new drug?"

Seeing this message, Li Chengyu’s eyes lit up, but the next one shattered his confidence.

"Don’t be conspiratorial, upstairs. How much money would President Gu have to spend to stage this for a drug launch? Plus, if it turns out this news is fake later on, what about Gu Group’s credibility?"

"Gorgeous rich beauty and handsome rich guy, I’m so jealous—it’s like some immortal romance!"

As Li Chengyu watched the uniform blessings from the online comments, he couldn’t help but sneer using his alt account: "Ye Chan is a divorcee. I heard that her infertility was the reason she divorced the son of Pengcheng Group. Gu Group must be eyeing her father’s drug formulas! Rich people would go so far for money—I’m impressed!"

"Stop being sour, upstairs. The reason for Ye Chan’s divorce from Pengcheng Group’s son has been exposed already. It’s clearly that the man cheated first. Haven’t you seen? The mistress just went back to the hospital for a follow-up, and the person accompanying her is the Eldest Lady of Pengcheng Group." While saying this, the commenter even posted photos.

Then, an insider from Pengcheng Group confirmed that the person indeed was their Eldest Lady, and the pregnant woman was the ex-secretary of the Group’s son.

With this definitive evidence, the online crowd was gobbling up the juicy story.

"Oh my God, I didn’t expect this twist!"

"Pengcheng Group is truly disgusting. Is that previous commenter a member of Pengcheng’s Water Army?"

"I really hope President Gu treats Mr. Ye well."

"Don’t worry, upstairs. President Gu hasn’t had a single woman by his side all these years. Now that he has chosen Mr. Ye, he will definitely treat her well."

"That’s reassuring to know."

Seeing how the online trend was heading in the right direction, the head of the tech department hurried to assert his merit to Gu Mingting: "Rest assured, President Gu, everything is under our control. We won’t let Mr. Ye be subjected to any disparagement."

"Good." Gu Mingting nodded in satisfaction. "Keep tracking. This month, your department’s bonus is doubled."

"Thank you, President Gu." The head of the tech department beamed, and after Gu Mingting left, he told his subordinates, "Did you hear what President Gu said? Stay sharp and don’t mess up."

With the promise of a bonus, the tech department was as excited as if they had been injected with a shot of adrenaline, not letting a single piece of bad news slip by.

However, Li Chengyu saw that photo and his rage flared. Su Qin took his money but didn’t go through with the abortion, and Xinyi—why was she together with Su Qin? Why would she accompany her to the prenatal check-ups?

"Can you explain this to me? What’s going on here?" Li Chengyu threw the printed photos in front of Li Xinyi.

"What’s going on? Chengyu, Xinyi is your sister. Can’t you be a little nicer?" Gao Juan picked up the photos and was about to look when she froze.

"Is this true?" She turned to ask her son and daughter.

"That’s something you should ask Xinyi. Why was she accompanying Su Qin to the prenatal checkup?" Li Chengyu practically roared out these words.

Li Pengcheng picked up the photos, his eyebrows gradually furrowing.

Li Xinyi, unflustered, yelled back at Li Chengyu, "Isn’t this all for you? You guys said to abort the child in Su Qin’s belly to chase after Ye Chan, and did you succeed? If it weren’t for me finding Su Qin, you’d have nothing now! At least you still have a child. It’s not my fault you were useless, why are you yelling at me?"

"You... Li Xinyi, when did you become so unreasonable? Do you know what people on the internet are saying about me? They’re calling me a cheater, calling me scum!"

"Isn’t that the truth?" Li Xinyi sneered coldly, "Brother, you really lack responsibility. Su Qin is half a month away from giving birth. Abortion is impossible now. You decide what to do!"

"I..." Li Chengyu ran his fingers through his hair, a conflicted look on his face.

At this point, Li Pengcheng put down the photos and said, "I think Xinyi did a good job, just a bit careless to be photographed, but no worries. Our family isn’t celebrities, the hype will die down quickly. Chengyu, once the baby is born, you should go and bring the child home."

"Yes."

But the Li family overlooked one thing; Li Chengyu was currently being set up on blind dates. It was said that the next day when Li Chengyu took the lady out for a meal, she furiously threw water at him, calling him shameless for having a mistress and an illegitimate child while still trying to deceive someone into marriage.

In an instant, Li Chengyu’s reputation in social circles plummeted further. Aside from those whose status was much lower than Pengcheng Group’s, everyone scorned to associate with him.

Of course, part of this was due to Gu Mingting’s influence. The Gu Family’s local status went without saying – who would want to offend them? Some even hoped to gain Gu Mingting’s favor by stepping on Pengcheng Group.

It was said that someone who publicly disdained the idea of collaborating with Pengcheng Group received an order from Gu Group the next day, which further solidified this rumor.

As a result, unbeknownst to them, it was becoming increasingly difficult for Pengcheng Group to operate. The newly opened cosmetics division was shut down entirely, relying solely on their old brands of shampoo and shower gel to sustain performance, stocks slid, and the directors and shareholders grew increasingly resentful towards Li Pengcheng and Li Chengyu.

If it weren’t for their mismanagement, Ye Chan would still be the operations director in the company, and they might have even secured the formulas that made Gu Pharmaceutical a hit, watching their own wealth dwindling while others’ grew. They could only blame these troublemakers.

At this very moment, Su Qin went into labor prematurely, and when Li Chengyu wanted to bring the child back to the Li family, she vehemently refused, insisting that Li Chengyu marry her. A nurse with a penchant for gossip recorded this and posted it online, instantly sparking an uproar.

Sure, Su Qin was in the wrong for being the mistress, but Li Chengyu was obviously worse! He divorced Ye Chan for the sake of a child and now he’s abandoning Su Qin for another? Does he seek out women solely for having children?

In modern society, terms such as preferring sons to daughters and carrying on the family line are sensitive topics. As a result, Li Chengyu was attacked, and an online movement against Pengcheng Group’s products began. After all, there are plenty of shampoo and shower gel brands out there; why buy theirs?
