An article detailed the whole incident, including Fang Jiangyi's act of covering up his female companion's ruckus.
Not to mention that it was Yan Xia who stepped forward to take the blame for him. Just the fact that she was the beloved daughter of Lord Lu was enough to intimidate many people.
It was a real - life version of the story of the farmer and the snake, and the online public opinion was one - sided.
People accused Fang Jiangyi and Peng Shiyi one after another. Netizens mobilized their strength to dig out Peng Shiyi's personal information, and the insulting and scolding remarks never stopped.
Everyone was curious about who this woman was who suddenly appeared and was so close to Fang Jiangyi.
In this way, Yan Xia achieved her goal.
Fang Jiangyi was still in the office of Shengshi Group when he saw this news. Several senior executives of the company who had helped him rise to power came to persuade him not to let a woman affect his future.
After all, behind Lu Sheng was not only Lord Lu, but also the entire Lu family.
Fang Jiangyi immediately arranged to suppress the popularity of the article and then had it withdrawn, quietly making the news disappear from people's sight.
Then he personally called Lord Lu to apologize.
Lord Lu naturally didn't care about such trivial matters. He said bluntly that the person who tied the bell should untie it. If Fang Jiangyi really wanted to apologize, he should go to Lu Sheng in person instead of using him as an intermediary.
Fang Jiangyi didn't want to let the matter get out of hand, and it was just an apology after all. But he couldn't get in touch with Lu Sheng. No matter what method he used, even when he called Wen Liang, the answer he got was always that Miss Lu was busy and inconvenient to answer the phone.
Although they had only met twice, Yan Xia had unknowingly given Fang Jiangyi a warning.
...
This private hospital required an appointment in advance. Yan Xia arrived at the hospital and quickly got her wound treated. She didn't leave in a hurry. Instead, she wanted to try her luck in the VIP ward to see her sister.
Even just taking a look from afar would be good.
"Miss Lu, we've found out. She's on the 22nd floor," Wen Liang said after putting away his phone.
Yan Xia walked towards the elevator, with Wen Liang following behind. He kept persuading her, "Fang Jiangyi is very vigilant. Even if you go there now, you probably won't be able to see her."
Yan Xia naturally knew this. "Man proposes, God disposes. How do we know if we don't try?"
When they reached the 22nd floor, they saw two bodyguards standing guard at the door of the ward from afar. The security was very strict. Except for medical staff, no one else could get close casually.
Yan Xia didn't quite understand why Fang Jiangyi was doing this. After all, the people from the Cheng family were no longer of any use to him.
It was nothing more than to maintain his infatuated image in front of the public.
Yan Xia stared blankly in the direction of the ward for a moment.
"Miss Lu, you'd better go back early. It won't be good if you run into Fang Jiangyi here."
Lu Qianzhou must have had his reasons for arranging Wen Liang by her side. He was very meticulous. Many times, he could make decisions and remind Yan Xia in time before others even reacted.
Although they tried to avoid him deliberately, they still ran into Fang Jiangyi downstairs. He only had an assistant with him and was very low - key.
When he saw Yan Xia, he was also stunned for a moment.
"Miss Lu," his eyes swept over her hand. "How's your wound? You should be more careful. After all, you got hurt for me. You mustn't leave a scar."
Yan Xia remained calm. She had used public opinion to make him and his new lover be condemned and scolded. Shouldn't he be furious?
She smiled. "Are you afraid I'll extort you?"
"Of course not. I know Miss Lu doesn't lack such things."
The next moment, he said, "If Miss Lu has any dissatisfaction or wants any compensation, you can negotiate with me. Don't use such petty tricks next time. Shiyi didn't do it on purpose."
As if finding it extremely funny, the smile on Yan Xia's lips became even more intense.
"I heard that Mr. Fang's fiancée is being treated in this hospital, but you're here defending another woman. I thought Mr. Fang was different from other men, but now it seems that's not the case." She didn't give Fang Jiangyi a chance to speak.
"However, Mr. Fang is right about one thing. I've always been a person who never forgives those who have wronged me. But you should also know that people like us will be constantly watched by the media wherever we go. As for your new lover... You'd better teach her a lesson."
Yan Xia raised her eyebrows and smiled. "Never offend those you can't afford to offend. She should be lucky that my third brother wasn't there last night. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been just a slap."
She had mastered the art of using a little power to intimidate others perfectly.
On the way back to the villa, Yan Xia was in a good mood. It was really satisfying to have Lu Qianzhou backing her up.
It wasn't until she got back to the villa that Wen Liang handed her a box and said it was a gift from Mr. Lu.
When she opened it, it was actually the bracelet of her sister's that she had photographed yesterday. The diamonds glistened under the light.
"Mr. Lu asked me to tell you that he hopes you'll like this gift."
Yan Xia held the bracelet in her palm, feeling a complex mix of emotions for a moment.
"By the way, Miss Lu, someone has been waiting for you for a long time."
