CHAPTER 426: CHAPTER 394 RUMORED

Going out for a meal, Qiao Yuxian went to pay the bill, and when she returned, suddenly there was an extra person beside her, and it was everyone’s ice-cold big boss.

The moment Mr. Gu entered the private room.

Lin You directly threw her phone in the air.

Meng Yuchuan, who was drinking water, glanced at the door and spilled water all over himself.

Xu Qingqing was so frightened she shuddered.

He Xin quickly stood up.

Zhao Meng also stood up.

The laughter and chatter in the room disappeared instantly, and it became silent.

Silent to the point of being suffocating.

"Mr. Gu, Mr. Gu," Meng Yuchuan was the first to call out.

Mr. Gu looked around the room, acknowledged him, and then slightly raised his hand indicating to the pregnant Xu Qingqing not to get up, and simply said, "I’ve ordered some snacks. Later, I’ll bring them to the translation department for everyone. We’re heading back now."

The group was momentarily bewildered.

He Xin and Meng Yuchuan were the first to react: "Okay, Mr. Gu. Take care."

Qiao Yuxian then looked toward Zhao Meng.

Zhao Meng said, "I’ll head back with them."

Qiao Yuxian nodded: "Then I’ll leave now."

After saying that, she left with Mr. Gu.

The remaining people in the room were dazed for a while before coming to their senses.

Xu Qingqing took a sudden deep breath, inhaling some fresh air.

Lin You sat on the chair for a while and then picked up her phone to look at it, noticing the tempered glass screen protector was shattered.

"Why did Mr. Gu suddenly come?" Meng Yuchuan asked.

Zhao Meng, still seated, replied lazily, "To coax his wife."

The group suddenly understood.

"Was it to coax his wife?" Xu Qingqing said, touching her belly with a smile, "It feels more like their little marital fun."

The two gentlemen present looked at her.

Xu Qingqing said, "Qiaoqiao wasn’t angry with Mr. Gu from the start, she was just teasing him. Mr. Gu also enjoys playing along with her. He even came here at noon to find her. If this isn’t a couple’s small pleasures, then what is it?"

Zhao Meng chuckled.

"Mr. Gu and Qiaoqiao really have a great relationship," Lin You said.

"Mr. Gu really spoils Qiaoqiao," He Xin said.

"Qiaoqiao deserves to be spoiled," Zhao Meng said.

...

Back at the company, Qiao Yuxian went straight to the translation department.

She was slacking and sleeping in the morning, but started to work seriously in the afternoon.

Around three in the afternoon, during tea time, Qiao Yuxian was at her workstation messaging Qin Xia.

Zhao Meng went to the pantry, leaving her workstation slowly, but returned in a rush.

Holding up her phone to show Qiao Yuxian.

Qiao Yuxian first looked at the anxious and angry Zhao Meng, then at her phone.

She initially thought it was something Qin Xia posted online, only to find it was about herself and Qiao Weizhou.

Qiao Yuxian took the phone and looked at it.

Zhao Meng sat at her workstation and asked, "What’s your relation with Qiao Weizhou?"

"He’s my cousin," Qiao Yuxian said.

Zhao Meng slapped the armrest of the chair: "Who’s so vile, spreading such rumors? Got too much time on their hands? Is someone targeting Xi Mei Media? And dragging you in too."

Qiao Yuxian looked at the phone without speaking.

From yesterday to today, it’s been all about Qin Xia in the trending searches.

But now the top three trending topics are about Qiao Weizhou and her.

[The Force Behind Qiao Weizhou]

[Qiao Weizhou and a Married Woman.]

[Qiao Weizhou’s Romance]

Qiao Yuxian found the original post and clicked in.

It was by a paparazzi.

There were quite a few photos from the ceremony last night, of her and Qiao Weizhou.

Some were of them talking at the venue, more were of her and Qiao Weizhou at the end of a corridor when they were leaving the venue, waiting for the New Moon organizers to give Wei Jiye a gift.

Some photos seemed deliberately angled.

Especially one that looked like Qiao Weizhou was leaning close to kiss her.

Qiao Yuxian was bewildered; last night they just casually chatted briefly, and they even kept a distance; what kind of angle would make them look like they were kissing?

And particularly like they were sneakily stealing a kiss.

Qiao Yuxian was completely speechless.

The headline of the post made her even more speechless: [Xi Mei Rising Star and Married Woman Flirt, Can’t Resist Sharing Passionate Kiss at Event.]

Qiao Yuxian looked at the headline, and her rage soared.

She couldn’t help but scroll through the comments.

[No wonder Qiao Weizhou has such good resources, turns out there’s someone backing him.]

[Wei Jiye has never put so much effort in supporting someone, looks like this woman in the photos is not simple.]

[Even Wei Jiye has to cater to Xi Mei executives, what kind of woman could even make him wary? I’m really curious.]

[I also heard Qiao Weizhou is so arrogant usually, doesn’t even greet seniors when he sees them in the company, looks down on everyone.]

[I also heard from insiders that Qiao Weizhou is particularly rude, doesn’t respect seniors, acts like a grandmaster in Xi Mei. And he talks behind seniors’ backs, belittling them.]

[How is he such a person, I quite liked him. Didn’t expect him to be a sell-out, and so blatantly arrogant, suddenly feel like I was blind. Fan turned anti.]

[Who is this woman, who is this woman, who is this woman? So young and already keeping someone!]

[This woman is quite beautiful though. Didn’t expect her to be so promiscuous. Rich people really know how to have fun; I even suspect this woman has more than just Qiao Weizhou as a boy toy.]

[And why is Qiao Weizhou so popular? Even pushing Qin Xia off the trending list, who’s doing this, what’s the agenda?]

[Don’t spread nonsense, I know this girl, she and her husband have a great relationship. This is obviously someone deliberately spreading rumors. Her husband is handsome and rich, treats her well, there’s no way she’d cheat on him.]

[Oh, here comes someone to clarify.]

[Does her handsome and rich husband know she’s keeping a young man outside? This woman’s shameless, taking her husband’s money to do such things, I really feel sorry for her wealthy husband.]

[If her husband is so good, then why is she looking for someone outside, maybe he has some health issue or can’t satisfy her.]

[Where’s the person who was clarifying? Why aren’t they replying? Did they get it right?]

...

Qiao Yuxian didn’t scroll down anymore. Her last bit of rationality stopped her from using Zhao Meng’s account to comment online, but she furiously tapped on the comment saying "Gu Yanjing is not good."

In her mind, she kept saying: You’re not good, you’re not good. My Mr. Gu is perfectly fine!!!!!!!!

Zhao Meng looked at her, not daring to speak.

Qiao Yuxian tapped a few more times, took a deep breath, and calmed her emotions.

Qiao Weizhou has a new song coming out next month, and yet at this time, someone decides to pull this stunt.

"This is obviously a purchased trending search," Zhao Meng waited a while and whispered, "Otherwise, with Qiao Weizhou’s fame, how could he possibly overshadow Qin Xia."

Qiao Yuxian knew this well.

She was pondering if the person was targeting her or Qiao Weizhou.

"Qiaoqiao," Xu Qingqing and Lin You had also noticed the news.

Not just them, many in the translation department had seen it too.

Qiao Yuxian looked at them and said, "It’s fine. Those who should be having tea, have tea; those who should be working, work. It’s a small matter."

"But wouldn’t Mr. Gu misunderstand?" Xu Qingqing asked in a small voice.

After all, the photos looked quite real.

Qiao Yuxian raised an eyebrow, then frowned, in a difficult tone said, "Then....I can only take him to get his brain checked."

The implication being that if Mr. Gu really dares to misunderstand, then he must have a mental problem.

Xu Qingqing and Lin You’s eyes widened.

The others also gasped.

Seeing their reactions, Qiao Yuxian laughed jokingly and said, "Of course, if Mr. Gu really misunderstood, I suppose we’re going to have to check his brain."

Nobody relaxed at her joke.

Who dares to joke about Mr. Gu like that?

This woman is playing with fire, it’s not funny at all, but rather creepy.

Zhao Meng asked, "What shall we do now?"

"Of course, report it to the police," Qiao Yuxian said after a moment of reflection, "Otherwise, someone’s just going to keep spreading rumors. We need justice, and the police will help in clearing things up!"
