Chapter 149: Chapter 153: The Woman Who Married into a Wealthy Family (13)
"Not only do we know, but now the entire nation should know too."
"Congratulations, you must have become an internet celebrity now."
Although the Yuan Family intervened and quickly removed the online posts, many people had already saved them with a single click.
"Okay, now that we can’t rely on her, let’s hurry and find the child, thinking about how young Xinghe is..."
Among them, a young teacher was so worried that she cried. In comparison, Huayin, the nominal mother, seemed even more vicious.
The pointing and whispering of the surrounding teachers quickly drove Huayin to the edge; shaking her head, she kept muttering, "I didn’t, it’s not true, you’ve misunderstood..."
And then...
She actually ran away.
The teachers in front of her were all stunned. What was this move?
Had they driven her to let go of all restraints? To just drop everything and leave?
And to abandon the child?
Indeed, the teachers’ guess wasn’t wrong; at this moment, Huayin couldn’t remember that there was a child needing her search.
All her thoughts were centered on the misconception that she was "Xiao San."
She wanted to say she wasn’t Xiao San.
She even wanted to shout out to those people that it was she who knew Qi Ran first, and it was Su Li who was the interloper between them.
Confused, Huayin ran straight to the Yuan Pharmaceutical building, right at the peak of quitting time.
Originally, Huayin intended to find Yuan Qiran; burdened with unbearable grievances, she felt like a fish out of water, unable to breathe.
But the timing of her choice was not suitable.
Before she could even enter the main entrance of the Yuan Pharmaceutical building, clearly due to the online fermentation, many people in Yuan Pharmaceutical recognized Huayin’s pure and charming face.
Everyone looked at her with a strange gaze, Huayin felt it very clearly, and because of this, her fragile heart, as delicate as a crystal, cracked a few lines, leaving her without the courage to move forward.
When Yuan Qiran’s assistant learned Huayin was downstairs at the company, he was quite surprised and hurried downstairs.
At this juncture, they couldn’t afford to be caught by ubiquitous reporters and have articles wreak havoc.
As Yuan Qiran’s trusted assistant, he was naturally familiar with his boss’s first love.
And precisely because he was familiar, he felt surprised.
She had always been so properly behaved; over the years, she had never stepped out of line, doing exactly as the boss instructed—why would she lose control today?
The assistant understood the nasty things said online; however, under these circumstances, the best strategy was to stay behind closed doors to prevent fueling more gossip. freēnovelkiss.com
Matters of the internet would calm down once the heat settled. People’s attention span is short, who would continuously focus on the affairs of someone else’s house.
The assistant reasoned it might be because the former president’s wife had taken the child away, and this lover of the president might still be unaware, hence the hurry and agitation.
Although not his biological son, he had raised the child for several years—even a small cat or dog would grow emotional attachments.
He had seen several instances of the former president’s wife doting on the young master.
The assistant had already planned how to calm Huayin down, at least to prevent additional gossip in this critical period.
But just as he stepped downstairs, at a glance, our Huayin, with her fragile heart, crumbled again and ran away.
He ran away...
The assistant’s hair was messed up in the wind as he watched the other party’s tears fall freely, utterly speechless.
What was she here for?
The crowd at the door watching the president’s aide’s dark face all unanimously waved their hands, "It wasn’t us, we didn’t do anything..."
Then they scattered.
If not now, did they expect to be wiped out?
But honestly, who knew the president’s taste was so peculiar.
No wonder there had been no scandals for so many years, it wasn’t for lack of effort by the women, it was just that they couldn’t grasp his charms.
Secretly, many ambitious women in the company puffed out their chests, believing themselves to be much better than that plain Jane, each of them eyeing the president with desire.
Although the rumours outside were quite unpleasant, they didn’t mind belittling this kind of boss, but that didn’t stop them from wanting to sleep with the big boss who had been single.
Previously they thought the cold-faced president was on a pedestal beyond their reach, but now they saw he was just like ordinary people, with emotions, a nose, a mouth, two eyes.
Yuan Qiran, who was suffering in the family’s old house, still had no idea what mess had gotten into his company.
On Longquan Mountain, in the Yuan Family old house
"Qi Ran, you’ve really disappointed me, I never expected that you, who I’ve always thought highly of, would do something so irrational,"
Old Man Yuan looked disappointedly at Yuan Qiran, his gaze filled with displeasure and dissatisfaction.
When his grandson got married, although he was not particularly satisfied with his daughter-in-law’s family background, seeing her add a grandson to the Yuan Family and handle affairs without fault, truly gracious, she was much better than the madam of the main branch.
Since she would be the future power-holding madam, she couldn’t be weak.
The Old Man, seeing with his own eyes, was also somewhat satisfied. This grandson had some insight.
But he hadn’t expected, he was still wrong.
Yuan Qiran remained silent. If he had to make a choice now, those events would never have happened.
It was all a mistake of youth.
Yuan Qiran soon bowed his head, "Grandfather, I was wrong."
Sitting aside, taking delight in the misfortune of the Second Branch, they did not want to let go of this leverage that had been handed to them.
Second Branch Madam, Yuan Qiran’s second aunt, suddenly interjected with the air of an elder, "Qi Ran, you have always been sensible, much better than our family’s monkey, but how could you do such a foolish thing this time?"
His second aunt didn’t give Yuan Qiran a chance to defend himself and quickly continued, "Don’t you know, our Yuan Family never accepts the existence of illegitimate children?"
If not for this rule, her not very bright sister-in-law wouldn’t be enjoying the role of the grand madam of the Yuan Family.
She would have been pulled down a long time ago, putting even the status of Yuan Qiran, the eldest grandson of the main branch, at risk.
Sure enough, just as his second aunt finished speaking, Yuan Qiran’s mother, Mulan, hastily retorted, "Auntie, what are you talking about, an illegitimate child? That doesn’t exist."
"Our Ming Ting is smart and clever, he’s my only grandson."
"Oh, so all the rumors online are false, and the paternity test between Ming Ting and Qi Ran’s wife is also fake?"
"I’ve seen the child’s photo, he really resembles Qi Ran’s wife, and he’s a pitiful one. I heard his foster mother doesn’t care much for him."
"You..." Mulan felt like tearing this always disagreeable sister-in-law’s mouth apart.
It was really hitting where it hurts.
