Chapter 149 - Ploy

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Fu Hang’s car stopped at the bottom of Shen Yan’s apartment. He then raised his head and counted floor by floor, stopping when he reached Shen Yan’s floor.

The lights were on.

A hint of a smile flashed in Fu Hang’s eyes. It seemed that Shen Yan was home.

He raised his feet and walked toward the entrance of the apartment. However, he halted after taking a few steps.

Shen Yan would definitely be unhappy if he went to look for her now.

…

Shen Yan came out of the shower in a bathrobe. She dried her hair, as she sat on the couch to look at the social media using her phone.

The rumors about her on the internet had been taken down. However, Shen Yan could still find rumors about her if she searched for the keywords.

She took out her hairdryer and started to blow-dry her hair. The Fu family had moved quite quickly. Shen Yan wondered when they were going to restore her reputation. As she did not have much patience, she could only wait for one more day.

Shen Yan realized that there had been no movements from the Fu family the next morning, so she drove to her company.

After she finished her meeting, Miss Na came over.

“Miss Shen, the bloggers who ‘started the rumors’ yesterday have all apologized publicly and clarified that YAN has nothing to do with you,” Miss Na reported seriously.

Shen Yan walked toward her office. Hearing Miss Na’s words, she stopped in her tracks and turned to look at her, asking, “The clarification on the internet shouldn’t have much effect, right?”

Miss Na pursed her lips and nodded.

“The Fu family’s movements are really too slow.” Shen Yan raised her eyebrows slightly. Her gaze fell on Miss Na. “Contact Butler Fu and tell him that I’m very dissatisfied with the way the Fu family is handling the situation!”

After saying that, Shen Yan walked toward her office.

Don’t blame her for being ruthless if they don’t resolve this matter properly!

Old Master Fu soon gave Shen Yan a flawless response under pressure.

Lin Tao issued an apology statement at 3 p.m., smoothly explaining the incident that happened on the internet yesterday.

Lin Tao’s apology statement was very simple. It mainly said that she had been in a coma for five years, and she found out that Fu Hang and Shen Yan were married when she woke up. Lin Tao was still jealous, though they were already divorced at that time, so she got people by spreading rumors to undermine Shen Yan.

As for the manga, it was also because she found out inadvertently that the male protagonist of the manga resembled somewhat Fu Hang. Thus, she deliberately linked it to Shen Yan, in order to ruin her reputation.

However, Lin Tao’s actions were found out by her family. She only realized that her actions would ruin her victim after they lobbied her, which was why she came forward to apologize.

Shen Yan’s name was completely cleared because of Lin Tao’s apology.

The corners of Shen Yan’s lips curled up slightly. The Fu family must have given Lin Tao a lot of benefits to get her to make that statement.

Shen Yan exited Lin Tao’s social media and clicked on Fu Xiaoxiao’s. She frowned slightly, seeing that her recent post was still travel photos from a month ago.

Miss Na walked in from outside and handed a document to her. She said, “Miss Shen, there are many fashion resources that want you to endorse them.”

“Push back the endorsement matter for now. I’m curious about what Fu Xiaoxiao is doing right now. Get someone to check it out.” Shen Yan opened the document and skimmed through the contents quickly.

Miss Na knew that Shen Yan was concerned about the matters of the Fu family. “Miss Shen, Old Master Fu punished Miss Fu yesterday. A total of twenty lashes were given to her, ten of which were administered by President Fu himself.”

Shen Yan paused. Her attention was no longer on the document. She raised her eyes to look at Miss Na, and her heart skipped a beat involuntarily. She questioned, “Who did you hear that from?”

Fu Xiaoxiao was very favored in the Fu family. In addition, Fu Hang pampered her very much. How could they really hit her?

Could this be a ploy?

The more Shen Yan thought about it, the more likely she thought it was.. Her hand that was gripping the pen clenched involuntarily.
