Ji Zitong was not the kind of girl that smiled a lot, so she looked quite calm and aloof.

When Xi Xiaye looked into her eyes, she did not know why, but she felt like she was suppressing something. She felt as if something seemed to be on this girl’s mind.

She would always be courteous and distant from anyone. Besides that, she was agile, and she heard that she was quite good at driving too.

“Good morning.” Xi Xiaye nodded and smiled.

“Master, Missus!”

“Let’s get going,” Mu Yuchen calmly said. Then, the black-clothed bodyguards opened the door.

Ji Zitong drove Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye.

All the way, she remained of few words and focused on driving. She was very professional like the rest of the black-clothed bodyguards.

Sis Lan stayed in the suburbs of the west of the city, so they needed to pass through a bustling city. After taking the quicker route, as the car drove slowly on the road, Xi Xiaye seized the opportunity to buy several newspapers. The headlines of the major papers did not seem to have those reports, but certain magazines still had them.

“You had them remove the reports, didn’t you?”

Xi Xiaye’s expression had a mix of emotions as she closed the magazines in her hand. She turned to look at Mu Yuchen. “Do you know who did it?”

She felt like many things had been repeatedly troubling them. Every one of them was weird, and now that such a thing had happened, even if he did not care, it would have more or less brought about negative effects.

Xi Xiaye suddenly remembered that Mu Yinan had called from the Mu residence yesterday. At that time, he had intentionally distracted her away then. It must have been because of this matter.

The man, who was on his laptop, finally looked up slowly. His extraordinarily handsome face looked somewhat cold under the faint blue light and his tone was low as he said, “It’s not targeting you. Grandpa has helped too. Previously, because I didn’t want you to worry, I planned to only let you know when we’ve got everything under control. Nevertheless, since you can be more optimistic about it, that’s a good thing too.”

“Grandpa…” Xi Xiaye softly muttered.

Now, Xi Xiaye began to be more concerned as she asked uneasily, “Then, with Grandfather and Grandmother… Will it cause Father and Mother trouble?”

“Father and Mother are very open-minded people. They’ll believe you. Don’t worry.”

“Then, when I said that I’ll clarify about this with Qi Lei, you said…”

“Sometimes, it will only make matters worse. You just don’t know how to keep still, do you? Now, do you know why I didn’t want to tell you earlier?” An elegant smile curved on his face as he met her gaze. As if he suddenly remembered something, his gaze darkened and he said softly, “This matter isn’t all that simple. We might have gotten ourselves another enemy, and the person doing this probably expected this too. However, that person’s IQ and EQ got left at kindergarten.”

When she heard this, she was stunned. Noticing the gloom in his eyes, she thought about it and decided not to keep asking.

…

With such a huge scandal, naturally, Xi Xiaye was not the only one under pressure. Qi Lei was struggling amidst all this too.

Inside the office of the Vice President of Qi Kai Corporation.

“Xiao Lei! What a mess you’ve made!? Explain what all this is about!”

When Qi Lei was arranging the documents, Wang Qin, who had just returned from work abroad, anxiously crashed into his office and questioned him head-on.

“All the reporters downstairs are waiting for you. You can provoke anyone, but why does it have to be that Xi Xiaye? That’s Mu Yuchen’s woman from the Mu family, don’t you know that? At such a crucial moment, you caused this mess. Do you really want me to be worried to death?”

Wang Qin was extremely concerned. She had been wholeheartedly trying to bring Qi Lei up and get the trust of the shareholders. That way, they could get some of their support, yet now with such a mess, it had destroyed all her previous hard work overnight!

Qi Lei did not respond. He just let Wang Qin vent with a faint light in his eyes that was unfathomable.

“Say something! What are you planning on doing now? You should know that once this thing goes on, it will affect you terribly. Do you really have something going on with that Xi Xiaye?” Wang Qin fixed her gaze on Qi Lei, not wanting to miss any reaction of his.

At this moment, Qi Lei just smiled. “I wish I had something going on with her. Isn’t she quite good? If I could really get her to be your daughter-in-law, that would be great for everyone too. I can’t do this, I can’t do that. Sigh, VP Wang, you make things quite difficult for me!”

“Xiao Lei! I’m being serious here. Do you have to speak like that to me?”

Wang Qin’s brows furrowed into a tight knot and there was a hint of coldness on her face. “I suspect that this thing might be Qi Qiming’s work. That bastard, he’d even frame his own son! What’s he trying to do? Why is the other woman’s son so precious to him while I…”

“Enough, if you really want to debate about these things, go tell the old man. Also, tell him that if he really wants to make a move, he might as well just kill me. Don’t keep doing it bit by bit. I’m tired of dealing with them. He should spend more effort arranging his plans.”

Qi Lei’s handsome face flashed with a sneer, yet the light in his eyes seemed bleak.

“Don’t say such things, Xiao Lei! As long as I’m here, I won’t let Qi Qiming treat you unfairly.”

When Wang Qin heard Qi Lei’s words, she could not help but feel her heart ache. She could not bear to hear it, so she then softened her tone. “Xiao Lei, don’t give up. Everyone will see the good in you. It’s I who haven’t done well as your mother, so…”

“Enough, stop talking. I don’t like to hear all these regretful words. Just leave them for yourself to hear,” Qi Lei interrupted a little impatiently.

“Don’t sass me, Xiao Lei. I know that I haven’t done well as a mother all these years, but you have to believe me, everything that I’ve done, I do it all for you. If you weren’t my son, I wouldn’t be so concerned. Do you understand?”

“I do, I do very well! I’m your biological son, so I’m very honored to be at the receiving end of your concern. Since you have so many ideas, why don’t you think about how to persuade for the old man to quickly give up his spot and let me have Qi Kai, or find a way to chase off the flies downstairs? Can you do that, my dear mother?”

Qi Lei was bothered and annoyed!

“Actually, you shouldn’t have given birth to me back then. At least, now you wouldn’t have to be so worried. Not all women can lock a man with a child down. Mother, you miscalculated! If you really can’t go on, just get a divorce soon. You could still have a memorable second offspring!”

“Shut up!”
