Chapter 389: Worse Scandals
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Qiao Yu did not come back for an entire night.
Xia Ning was contemplating whether she should call him or not. She gave up eventually.
It was just that after staying in the hospital for so long, she was being recognized by more and more people. Even though she did not care when people recognized her, when others started to take a lot of photos of her, she felt like she was an animal in a zoo viewed by people. It felt very weird.
Especially the next morning when she was out to buy food for Zheng Ziming, people around her were looking at her with weirder expressions as if she was something dirty. The disdain in their eyes could not be covered.
Xia Ning was confused. She went back to the ward, put a straw in the cup with congee and put it in front of Zheng Ziming. She then took out her phone and started searching.
Zheng Ziming saw Xia Ning playing with her phone when eating and was a bit displeased. “Have breakfast first. Don’t play with your phone.”
“I need to look up something.” As Xia Ning was speaking, she started to browse through the Internet.
Seeing the headlines, she changed her expression immediately.
Noticing that Xia Ning was not looking good, Zheng Ziming realized something was off. “What’s wrong?” he asked.
Xia Ning pa.s.sed her phone to Zheng Ziming with a long face.
Zheng Ziming could only move one hand. He took the phone and started to read.
His face turned ugly when he finished reading. “Lu Qing is good. How dare she make up things like this! I really want to kill her. If I know better, I’d have already kicked her out back then.”
Xia Ning took her phone back and said with a cold face, “It’s not too late to take care of her now. I’m not too worried about your dad. It’s not like this is the first time someone is talking about me and him. I’m just worried that this will affect SE’s stock price. Obviously, that is what Lu Qing wanted so that she can make her new boss happy.”
Zheng Ziming scoffed. “It’s not like SE’s stock price never fell before. I’m not scared at all. If she wants to play this game, sure. When I’m all recovered, I’ll take good care of her! Otherwise, I’ll change my last name.” It would be fine if she was just throwing dirt on him. But now his dad was involved too. How could she come up with something so malicious? She didn’t even remember that SE did not give up on her when she was at the lowest point of her life.
“Well, don’t be too mad. I’ll take care of this,” Xia Ning answered. “I’m gonna call your dad now.”
Zheng Ziming nodded. At this time, they definitely needed to talk to his father.
Xia Ning called President Zheng’s number at once.
“President Zheng, you’ve probably heard about the news online as well. Ziming and I know about it too. You probably know who’s behind this. But I’m hoping you could ignore her for now. This kind of backfired because of me. I’ll pay any loss from the stock price.”
“Reason? Because she offended my people and I will not let her end well. It’s okay if I lose some money, but I want her to end up with nothing.”
Xia Ning hung up. She turned to Zheng Ziming who was in bed and Zheng Ziming was looking at her as well.
“Asteria, with our friends.h.i.+p, you don’t have to be so clear about the math. My old man knows better,” Zheng Ziming said in a low voice.
Xia Ning smiled slightly. She looked at Zheng Ziming and said helplessly, “I know your dad would not mind, but you have to think about other shareholders’ feelings. When you take over the company, you need to pay attention to this as well. The company does not belong just to you. Any decision needs to maximize the profit of the company.”
Zheng Ziming stared at Xia Ning and pressed his lips together without talking. She was younger than him in age but she could really be his teacher.
Xia Ning lowered her head and saw the headlines for today, ‘Best Newcomer is involved with both father and son. She wants both money and love?’
