Chapter 758 The Prelude of the Storm
Dingya Villas.
When the two little babies were one month old, Su Jian’an regained her freedom, and her impulse to cook was completely out of control.
In the afternoon, the two little babies were more obedient, or they happened to fall asleep. She would sneak into the kitchen to take over the chef’s work, preparing dinner and waiting for Lu Boyan to come back.
Lu Boyan came back today and did not see Su Jian’an in the living room. Only Aunt Liu and Tang Yulan accompanied the two little babies.
“Mom, I’m back.”
Lu Boyan greeted his mother and walked over to see the two little babies.
Seeing her father come back, little Xiyu just grinned. Xiangyi kicked her legs and waved her hands. Her delicate and lovely little face was full of excitement.
“Look at this little baby.” Tang Yulan pinched little Xiangyi’s face. “Daddy is back. You’re very happy, aren’t you?”
Little Xiangyi rolled her black eyes a few times and tried her best to make a sound of “ah!”. She seemed to confirm Tang Yulan’s words.
Lu Boyan smiled, picked up his daughter, and kissed her tender little face. “Where’s mommy?”
“She’s in the kitchen,” Tang Yulan said, “it’s been half an hour since she went in. I guess she stole the chef’s job again.”
At this point, Xiyu, who was lying on the small bed, suddenly snorted. Although it was quite light, it was enough to attract the attention of these adults.
Tang Yulan smiled. “Our little Xiyu is unhappy.”
Lu Boyan handed his daughter to Tang Yulan, picked up Xiyu, and smiled at the little fellow. “I’ll take you to find your mommy.”
Little Xiyu looked at Lu Boyan and grinned. His smile was clean and lovely. Lu Boyan felt as if his heart had been gently hit by something. It didn’t hurt, but it just softened endlessly.
Su Jian’an had just finished washing all the ingredients. When she saw Lu Boyan coming in with Xiyu in his arms, she walked over and kissed the little fellow’s face. “I’m going to start cooking. There will be some oil fume. Take him out.”
Lu Boyan put Xiyu back on the crib, went back to the kitchen, and closed the door.
Su Jian’an glanced at Lu Boyan and vaguely felt that his purpose of coming in was not simple. She asked instinctively, “Is there something wrong?”
Lu Boyan did not deny it.
“If you have anything, just say it.” Su Jian’an turned around and leaned against the kitchen counter to look at Lu Boyan. “Don’t be hesitant. It’s not like you at all.”
Lu Boyan pondered for a moment and tried his best to use less thrilling words to tell Su Jian’an about the story of Shen Yuechuan and Xiao Yunyun, so that she could be mentally prepared.
After hearing Lu Boyan’s words, Su Jian’an was stunned for three seconds before she regained her voice. “How should I put it—I’m not surprised, but I’m also a little surprised.”
“Huh?” Lu Boyan was a little confused. “Why?”
“Yunyun and Yuechuan are together. Although—” Su Jian’an shrugged and did not continue to say the sentence that everyone knew. Then she changed the topic. “But I’m not surprised. They obviously like each other. If they were not together, I would be more surprised.”
“What are you surprised about?” Lu Boyan asked.
“I’m surprised about Kang Ruicheng’s means.” Su Jian’an teased Kang Ruicheng mercilessly. “Could he only come up with such a despicable way to deal with us?”
Lu Boyan signaled for Su Jian’an to calm down and kissed her lips. “Honey, you think too highly of some people.”
“…” Su Jian’an asked with a bitter smile, “What should we do?”
She didn’t ask Shen Yuechuan and Xiao Yunyun what they were going to do, but said “we”.
In her heart, they had always been a family.
“Yuechuan and Yunyun are ready to face it. Don’t worry about them,” Lu Boyan said, “I’m more worried about my aunt now.”
Su Yunjin had been back in Australia for some time, and Su Jian’an almost ignored her.
For Su Yunjin, one of them was her daughter who had grown up with her, and the other was her son whom she felt guilty about. Now the two of them had developed feelings for each other and had to bear the criticism of the public. She should be the one who was the most distressed.
Su Jian’an suddenly realized that there was no right or wrong about this matter, and there was no solution.
If the thing had not a turn, it would be the only choice for Shen Yuechuan and Xiao Yunyun to escape and let the long time wash it away.
Lu Boyan looked at Su Jian’an and asked, “What do you think we should do?”
Su Jian’an thought about it for a long while, but her mind was still blank. She said, “I may have been a fool after pregnancy, and I don’t know what to do at all.” She sighed and continued, “Forget it. Let’s play it by ear.”
Lu Boyan said, “That’s all we can do now.”
Compared with Su Jian’an’s helplessness, Kang Ruicheng, who was in the old house of the Kang family far away, did not hesitate and arranged everything quickly.
Kang Ruicheng called Lin Zhixia and asked her to call some people who had a certain fan base and influence on the Internet.
After Kang Ruicheng roughly talked about the whole story, the people who followed Lin Zhixia shook their heads one after another. “One is Lu Boyan’s right-hand man, and the other is Lu Boyan’s female cousin. It also involves the Cheng An Group. We don’t dare to release the news.”
“You don’t need to release it,” Kang Ruicheng said, “you just need to repost the news with your fingers and make use of your fans to make it a hot topic in the shortest possible time. The rest has nothing to do with you.”
There was still someone with a look of embarra.s.sment. “Not to mention the whole Lu Enterprises, Shen Yuechuan alone is already very difficult to deal with. I… I still don’t dare to take this risk.”
“You don’t have to be afraid of Lu Enterprises,” Kang Ruicheng said calmly, “if Shen Yuechuan wants to see you, you can tell him that I’m the mastermind. According to the usual style of him and Lu Boyan, Lu Enterprises won’t do anything to you.”
“…”
The people who came looked at each other in speechless despair. Even if Kang Ruicheng said so, no one dared to be the enemy of Lu Enterprises without hesitation.
Kang Ruicheng took out a few checks, and the amount on each check was a total of two million yuan.
He said, “You don’t need to spend any effort or rack your brains to write any advertis.e.m.e.nts. Use your fingers to repost a message, and the money will be yours. It’s such a good deal. If you don’t agree, I can find someone else.”
Under the temptation of a huge amount of money, his last sentence stepped on everyone’s weak spot.
Xu Youning stood at the top of the stairs on the second floor and watched the people brought here by Lin Zhixia leave with Kang Ruicheng’s checks.
She walked down and looked at Lin Zhixia, whose face was dim. “You schemed against Yunyun and ended up like this. Aren’t you afraid? Do you still want to take revenge?”
“It’s because I ended up like this that I’m not afraid of anything.” Lin Zhixia smiled decisively and viciously. “I do not live a good life. Why should Shen Yuechuan and Xiao Yunyun be an exception? Besides, after their reputation is ruined, I may be able to recover some lost ground.”
“It’s hard to say,” Xu Youning said coldly, “you may end up worse than before.”
Lin Zhixia’s face turned pale, and she looked at Kang Ruicheng.
Only then did Kang Ruicheng say, “A Ning, Miss Lin is our guest. You should stop before going too far.” Although he was warning Xu Youning, his tone was gentle, and then he asked someone to send Lin Zhixia away.
In the antique living room, only Kang Ruicheng and Xu Youning were left. The former was at ease, while the latter looked indignant.
Kang Ruicheng smiled. “Don’t be unhappy. Don’t forget that we are against Lu Boyan’s group. Three days later, a new storm will break out, and there will be a task at any time. You have to be prepared.”
Xu Youning didn’t say anything and turned to go upstairs.
She wanted to inform Shen Yuechuan and Xiao Yunyun so that they could prepare for it in advance.
But this time, Kang Ruicheng did have something on them. How could Shen Yuechuan and Xiao Yunyun deal with it?
If she told them now, she would only make them worry in advance.
Xu Youning didn’t contact Xiao Yunyun, so in the next few days, Xiao Yunyun was still carefree.
Compared with worrying about the upcoming storm of public opinions, Xiao Yunyun was happier—her right hand, which was declared by the doctor to be unable to recover, slowly regained strength with the speed she could feel under the treatment of Song Jiqing.
What delighted her the most was that she only needed to apply the medicine now. She did not need to take the medicine for the time being.
Although the medicine on her hand smelt bad, as long as she thought that she used to drink it, she immediately accepted this smell that followed her for half a day.
She happily told Song Jiqing and Shen Yuechuan that she could feel the strength of her right hand gradually recovered.
Shen Yuechuan just touched her head. Song Jiqing gave her a warm smile and said, “In another ten days or so, you can go to the hospital and take an X-ray. I’ll see the real situation and then help you adjust your medicine.”
Xiao Yunyun nodded happily.
She almost forgot that her relationship with Shen Yuechuan had been exposed. It happened to be the morning of a weekend three days later. She had woken up, but Shen Yuechuan was still fast asleep beside her. She habitually turned on her mobile phone and browsed her WeChat Moments and Weibo.
Without warning, she saw someone expose the “love” between her and Shen Yuechuan.
“Do you still remember Xiao Yunyun, one of the main characters of the red packet incident? She is with her brother, and Lin Zhixia is her brother’s girlfriend!”
A lot of photos were attached to the news, all of which were once sent to Lin Zhixia by Kang Ruicheng.
In the photos, Xiao Yunyun naturally held Shen Yuechuan’s hand, picked out clothes for him, and asked him to try them on. The most fatal one was the photo of her feeding him meat on skewers.
In the photos, the ambiguous relationship between the two was completely exposed. From tricky angles, they looked like a couple in love.
The netizens didn’t believe that they were brother and sister.
In the end, the one who revealed the news said that he wanted to expose Xiao Yunyun’s true colors and wrote at great length, “Xiao Yunyun was not completely innocent in the red packet incident. She loves her brother and did not hesitate to use the red packet incident to deal with Lin Zhixia, separating Lin Zhixia and her brother. In the end, she used this incident to win her brother’s sympathy and lured her brother to be with her.
“If Lin Zhixia is a scheming woman, then Xiao Yunyun is certainly a scheming b*tch.”
The one who revealed the news said that the most abominable place about Xiao Yunyun was that in the red packet incident, she didn’t mention that Lin Zhixia was her brother’s girlfriend at all. Instead, she pretended to be an innocent victim and made Lin Zhixia suffer a shower of criticism.
In the end, the blogger specifically emphasized that Xiao Yunyun should be criticized by as many netizens as Lin Zhixia was in the red packet incident in the same way!
