âIt should be Third Uncle.â Yu Manxi picked up her bag and prepared to leave.
She opened the door. As expected, Fu Chen was standing outside. Other than Shi Fang, he had also brought four people with him, all of whom were burly men.
âThird Uncle, Iâm sorry to make you come so late.â Fu Sinian was still on the plane and couldnât contact anyone. Yu Manxi wanted to wait for Ning Fan to find someone to deal with it, but Fu Chen had contacted her first and said that he would pick her up.
âI happened to be at the old residence. My parents saw the news and asked me to come over.â Fu Chen was holding his prayer bead bracelet in his hand. His gaze was gentle but sharp and oppressive as it swept past Ning Fan lightly...
Why did this brat ask to meet her alone and even chat with her for so long? Otherwise, they wouldnât have caused such a commotion.
âEveryone in the family knows?â Yu Manxi didnât expect the news to spread so quickly.
âItâs premeditated sensationalism. Itâs already in the news.â
âActually, he and I just came out for a meal...â Yu Manxiâs head hurt. She had to explain to the elders when she returned.
âIâm really just friends with her, and I treat her as a younger sister.â Ning Fan was anxious to clarify. âThird Master, weâre innocent.â
Fu Chen raised his eyebrows and looked at him. âShe and Sinian have already gotten their marriage certificate. Would you dare to come to our house to snatch her?â
Ning Fan coughed twice. He didnât have that kind of heart for Yu Manxi anyway.
âThen, how are we going to leave?â Yu Manxi changed the topic.
âTake the other exit from the underground parking garage. There arenât many people there. The outside of the hotel is already blocked.â
âYoung Madam, Young Master Ning, this way!â Shi Fang helped lead the way.
There were security guards blocking the entrance of the hotel, so the reporters couldnât rush in for the time being.
The group took the elevator straight to the underground parking garage. Along the way, Fu Chen received a call from Duan Linbai.
âWe probably canât suppress this news anymore. If we continue to suppress it, it will instead backfire.â
Yu Manxi and Ning Fan had had a scandal before. This time, there were photos and videos. Coupled with the fact that someone was hyping it up and adding fuel to the fire, even though Duan Linbai got people to remove the news, the publicâs enthusiasm for gossip had already been aroused, and it was very difficult to suppress the news.
Fu Chen frowned. âDid you find out whoâs behind it?â
âFirst, it was a paparazziâs Weibo post. Later, many verified accounts reposted it. I handed that personâs information to Hanchuan. Most likely, he has been in contact with He Shiqing.â
âIf you canât suppress it, then donât. I also want to see what she plans to do after making such a big deal out of it.â
âAre you planning to make a move against her?â Duan Linbai suddenly wanted to pick up a small stool and munch on melon seeds to watch the show.
âThat depends on what sheâs going to do and when sheâs going to stop.â
After Fu Chen entered the elevator, he hung up.
Everyone seemed to have guessed who was behind this. It was a tacit understanding.
***
As soon as the group walked out of the elevator, the phone signal returned. Fu Chen was walking at the back and calling the old residence to inform them that he had picked her up so that could feel at ease.
The car was parked not far from the elevator. Shi Fang quickly walked over and opened the car door. âYoung Madam, get in quickly.â
The lights in the underground parking garage were dim. Yu Manxi quickly walked toward the car door when she suddenly saw a large group of reporters swarming toward them.
âAh! Look, there!â
âItâs Yu Manxi!â
âHurry up!â
rro
These reporters all aimed their cameras and instantly surrounded the car. Fortunately, Shi Fang was smart and directly reached out to push Yu Manxi in. But at this moment, the surroundings were so crowded that they couldnât even open the car doors, let alone drive away.
The reporters kept hitting the car window, and glaring lights kept flashing into the car. Some people even pressed their faces against the window, looking as if they were crazy. There were also many nosy people inside, and they all raised their phones to record videos or broadcast live.
âMiss Yu, do you and Ning Fan really have a shameful relationship? You two stayed in a hotel room for three hours. What were you doing?â
âYouâre already married and about to hold your wedding, yet youâre having a private rendezvous with another man. Does Eldest Young Master Fu know?â
âIf the Fu family finds out about this, have you thought about your situation?â
At this moment, the most unlucky person was Ning Fan. Before he could get into the car, he was surrounded by reporters.
âMiss Yu is married. Why do you want to interfere in someone elseâs marriage? Being a third party...â
Ning Fan was really about to explode. But he was surrounded by people, so it was inevitable that he would be pushed around. There was physical contact, and Ning Fanâs clothes were almost torn.
Because Fu Chen was on the phone at the back, he was the only one not affected.
