Entangled with My Ex's Uncle

Chapter 500: Chapter 500: Chi Yue laughed, angered, ’Shameless.

That morning, Chi Yue woke up to a call from Chu Shuo.

"Something came up. Stay inside and lock the doors and windows."

Chi Yue glanced at the spot beside her, which had already gone cold, and she had a bad feeling, "What happened? Where is Fu Rongyin?"

"He went to deal with things and asked me to call you."

Chi Yue had already walked to the window and parted the curtains to look down, only to see a crowd of people gathered below, each one holding a camera and taking pictures of their house.

Chi Yue frowned, "What’s going on? Our house is surrounded by reporters."

Chu Shuo said gravely, "The reporters sure move fast. Listen, someone exposed that you are Mr. Lu’s illegitimate daughter and claimed you encouraged the youngest of the Lu Family to take over their company in revenge for not recognizing you."

Chi Yue laughed, furious, "Shameless."

"Right? Only people in our circle know the truth. The youngest is working on solving this, just wait for news at home."

"Was it the Lu brother and sister?" Chi Yue asked.

Indeed, besides them, she couldn’t think of who else would have this motive.

"Almost certain, just lacking some evidence."

After hanging up the phone, Chi Yue opened her social media app and only then did she realize how wildly the issue had blown up online.

This originally trivial matter had been exaggerated and its impact magnified after being spiced up, and with some people stirring the pot, the tide of rumors had turned against Chi Yue, with netizens criticizing her for being heartless, not even visiting her biological father when he passed away.

Chi Yue scrolled emotionlessly, only to end up seeing someone speaking up for her.

The account posted a photo of her at the funeral, saying she had attended.

Then, more photos were released, along with the times they were taken, from when she appeared at the funeral to when she left, which was less than ten minutes.

All of a sudden, netizens were in an uproar, denouncing Chi Yue as if she had committed some unforgivable crime.

Chi Yue scrolled for a while, then logged off the social media app and was about to put her phone down when Nan Yuan’s call came in.

His voice full of concern, "Yueyue, don’t go online. I’ve already asked someone to speed up handling this."

"No, don’t have people clear up those comments. Doing so might actually give them something to latch onto. Let them talk," she replied.

"But..."

"It’s okay. Let them talk. I have nothing to do with them. It’s not like a few words can cost me an arm or a leg."

Nan Yuan’s heart eased somewhat, but worry still lingered, "Who have you offended recently for them to target you like this, clearly wanting to ruin your name? I believe they have more moves planned."

"Don’t worry, even if you don’t trust me, you should trust Fu Rongyin, he won’t let this issue escalate any further."

Compared to Chi Yue’s optimism, Nan Yuan still felt a bit uneasy, "I’ll go talk to him."

It was after hanging up that Chi Yue realized that her trouble could affect the stock market performance of Fu Rongyin and Nan Yuan’s companies. When she tried to call them back, both of their phones were unreachable.

Chi Yue planned to go to the company to find him, but then remembered the reporters camped at the door and gave up.

Bai Dongyang also called Chi Yue when he heard about the issue. She assured him that she would handle it soon, but Dongyang hung up, furious.

Chi Yue felt helpless.

She thought of apologizing to Bai Dongyang after settling the matters at hand.

Not long after, the noise outside escalated. Chi Yue looked down to see the reporters being dispersed by security, and then, she saw Fu Rongyin.

Chi Yue hurried downstairs and opened the door, only to see not just Fu Rongyin but also Bai Dongyang following behind him.noveldrama
