Chapter 2273 - She’s been cheated on

A giant photo was plastered on the front page of Tianshui City’s daily newspaper

It was a photo of Si Yehan dining with Qin Zong and Qin Xiyuan that night.

The headline read: Tianshui City’s #1 Beauty and the newly promoted director meet the parents! Marriage near?

“Sh*t! Sh*t! What’s worst is that this piece of gossip has spread throughout all Twelve Independent States!” Lin Que gulped with a panicked expression. “In other words… Ninth Sister must know she’s been cheated on!!!”

As Si Yehan stared at the front page news, his aloof expression finally shattered.

It just had to be this photo. Moreover, the date and time of this photo were marked clearly.

That night, Wanwan happened to call him, and he didn’t tell her the truth so that she wouldn’t misunderstand and worry…

If she saw this newspaper and learned he lied to her, the consequences… were unimaginable!

Meanwhile…

In Yun City, Ye Wanwan was accompanying Grandpa and fishing in a lake.

“Worriless, go elsewhere and have fun, alright? You keep moving about and scaring all my fish away!”

“Eh, fine. I won’t move, I won’t move!”

“Forget it. Your mind isn’t calm, so how could you get any fish?” Grandpa gave her a meaningful look. “You miss Ah-Jiu?”

“Mm… I miss him!” Ye Wanwan nodded without any reserve, a dog’s-tail grass between her teeth.

Worry was predominantly on her mind—worry that his mother would make things difficult for him…

Unfortunately, before he left, she solemnly promised that she would obediently wait for him, so all she could do now was wait for his news.

As Ye Wanwan conversed with Grandpa, Big Dipper, Seven Star, First Elder, Third Elder, and Fu Mingxi were secretively gathered together nearby. They shoved each other and quarreled incessantly, nearly breaking into a fight.

Third Elder: “Big Dipper, you were the one who first heard this news, so of course it’s you who should inform the President!”

Big Dipper: “You rotten old man, do you want me to die?! Such a dangerous task should of course be given to… given to the person best at martial arts here!”

Everyone’s gaze landed on First Elder.

First Elder instantly said, “I think that Third Elder is intelligent and resourceful and has a shrewd tongue, so having Third Elder relay it would be the most sensible.”

Third Elder immediately pointed at First Elder and cursed. “Don’t talk nonsense! When I went to my physical exam last time, the doctor said I had signs of Alzheimer’s disease! I think Seven Star is the most suitable since he’s most trusted by the President!”

Big Dipper spat at Third Elder. “Old Seven talks so directly and doesn’t know how to bend his words at all. By making him go, are you trying to send chaos into the world? I think we should forget it, we better not tell her! After all, none of us wants to die, right?”

Big Dipper’s words received unanimous agreement on this rare occasion… except for Fu Mingxi.

“No way! Aren’t we keeping the President in the dark?! No way, we must inform the President and let her see that scum’s true face!” Fu Mingxi exclaimed emotionally.

“Then you go! Go and tell her!” Big Dipper returned.

Fu Mingxi: “I won’t go… I still have to live so that I can stay by the President’s side!”

“What are you guys talking about over there? I can hear you all!” Ye Wanwan had walked over unbeknownst to them.

When the group heard Ye Wanwan’s voice, they jolted in fright and all kept their eyes downcast, no one willing to speak.

“Just what happened?” Ye Wanwan asked.
