Lu Beichuan was caught off guard from hearing this stream of so-called gossip and the soup went down the wrong way, causing him to cough several times. His face turned scarlet.

  Ye Zhen hastily brought over water and tissues. “Don’t get so worked up.”


  Lu Beichuan coughed several times before his emotions stabilized. He looked at Ye Zhen. “Who…… cough…… Who told you this fake nonsense?”


  “That’s what the forums and tabloid are saying.” Ye Zhen very innocently said, “Every detail is vividly described. They also said I’m the other woman. And since the child of the other woman naturally isn’t good enough to be seen in public, his first lunar birthday had to be sneakily celebrated at home instead of at a hotel. They wrote that based on that, this child isn’t valued by the Lu’s.”


  After speaking to this point, Ye Zhen sighed. “I can let it go if they call me names. But Zhouzhou is so young and they’ve given him the title of the other woman’s child. He’s just an innocent child.”


  Lu Beichuan furrowed his brows. There was a bit of anger in the corners of his eyes and brow. He shouted, “Which forums and tabloids are writing that nonsense?!”


  “What do you mean which forums and tabloids are writing nonsense? If you go online and look anywhere, you’ll see people scolding me and calling me the other woman.” Ye Zhen mumbled, “I can’t control whatever relationship you have with Shen Weiyin. I’m just worried about our son.”


  Lu Beichuan sighed deeply. He called a number and asked the PR Department staff about this matter as well as having them come up to his office to discuss it further.

  “This issue is due to my carelessness. Rest assured, I’ll have people handle this matter as soon as possible.”


  Ye Zhen very generously and understandingly smiled at him. “No big deal. The company is steadily rising up now. You’re very busy at work and there’s definitely matters you don’t have time to attend to. I can understand if you overlooked this matter. After all, your company has a contract with Shen Weiyin. I can understand why there’s hype. But…… I think you should forgo creating this type of hype that has no moral bottom line in the future. It won’t be good for her reputation either for them to hype up her relationship with a married man. Do you agree with me?”


  “A contract? This matter, I……”


  “You’re not going to tell me that you don’t even know the actress that has an endorsement contract with your company, right? I wouldn’t believe such a lie.”


  Lu Beichuan was silent for a moment. “Don’t worry. I’ll resolve the contract issue and tell the PR Department that if they encounter any gossip about me, they should contact the publishing company responsible for it and have the gossip about me taken down.”


  This was probably why Ye Zhen had come to his office.

  She didn’t like that Shen Weiyin would create hype by faking an ambiguous relationship with Lu Beichuan when she very well knew that he had a wife and a child. Even so, she could overlook that if she stopped there. But Shen Weiyin had to go and portray her as an irredeemably person that stole her boyfriend. Her actions were outrageous!

  Ye Zhen very sincerely said, “Mr. Lu, I very much appreciate your efforts for the sake of family harmony.”


  “.…… I was too careless. I’m just doing what I should.”


  “But, there is one more thing……” Ye Zhen took out her phone and showed him the article she had found in advance. “Mr. Lu, looked at this entertainment headline. They’re talking about you and Shen Weiyin and how she was your dance partner. When did you go to this party with her? How come I don’t know about it?”


  Looking at the tabloid article from three months ago, Lu Beichuan was a bit embarrassed. “I went to that party because of a business invitation…… The tabloids were writing nonsense…… Shen Weiyin was there as someone else’s dance partner, not mine……”


  “Not yours? Does that mean you had a dance partner too? Who was she? Was she pretty? Do I know her?”


  It felt like answering these questions incorrectly would lead to his demise.
