Chapter 6 Rumors Spread
- Tang Cheng realized that she had been exposed, causing her face to immediately turn red. She quickly clarified, "I wasn't gossiping, I didn't mean anything by it."
- An Jingxi sighed, "I have no connection with him."
- "Oh... well, An, you should explain to them, otherwise they will say..." Tang Cheng's voice trailed off, becoming almost inaudible in the end.
- "What are they saying about me? Three?"
- "Nothing, nothing, just a few gossipers saying... saying that you are a seductress, trying to lure Mr. Leng away, otherwise Miss Yan would have become Mrs. Leng by now." Tang Cheng finished speaking in a barely audible voice.
- An Jingxi furrowed her brows and closed the folder. "Orange, do you believe me?"
- "An, I definitely believe in you, but others don't." Although she hadn't been with An Jingxi for long, she didn't believe An Jingxi was the type of person to break up someone else's family.
- Upon hearing this, An Jingxi smiled at her. "As long as you believe in me, that's enough. Why should we care about what others say? People will always talk, and we can't stop them."
- After Tang Cheng left, An Jingxi leaned gently on the sofa, reflecting on the events of the day.
- If she were still the person she was a few years ago, she might have willingly accepted it.
- But now she had her Lele and Shen Shen, and she had to consider them. If the person she chose wouldn't treat her children well, she would rather not marry again.
- Thinking of her two precious children, a happy smile appeared on An Jingxi's face, strengthening her resolve.
- She picked up her phone, deleted the text message, and added the number to the blacklist. All-in-one service.
- The next day, An Jingxi, who had just started work, was playing puzzles with An Lele when her phone rang. She picked it up and saw "Xiaomi" on the screen. An Jingxi looked at An Lele, who had been talking about Mi Ge the whole time, and said, "Your godmother is calling you, you should answer it."
- "Godmother! Why haven't you come to see Lele recently? Do you have other friends now? Is that why you don't like Lele anymore?" An Lele asked a series of questions in one breath, just like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.
- "Lele, godmother needs to earn money so that she can buy delicious food for Lele." Facing An Lele's rapid-fire questions, Mi Ge felt both touched and helpless. After all, she had used up all her annual leave a few days ago.
- "By the way, where's your mommy?" Mi Ge was so engrossed in the conversation with An Lele that she almost forgot about the main topic and hurriedly asked.
- "Mummy, Auntie is looking for you." After handing the phone to An Jingxi, An Le obediently continued playing with his puzzle.
- "What's wrong?" If nothing had happened, Mi Ge wouldn't have let An Le give her the phone. Usually, she could chat with An Le endlessly.
- "Hey, have you seen the hot topics on Weibo?!" As soon as she heard An Jingxi's voice, Mi Ge anxiously asked.
- "No? I've been busy all day. Just took a short break. What happened on Weibo?" An Jingxi placed her phone on the desk and opened Weibo on her computer, wanting to see what Mi Ge was talking about.
- Before Mi Ge could answer, she saw Cold Night's name on the trending list.
- "Cold Night, the CEO of Leng Corporation, spotted having a secret meeting with a mysterious woman at a coffee shop."
- "The mysterious woman is suspected of interfering in Cold Night's relationship, leading to its breakup."
- "Cold Night, CEO of Leng Corporation, suspected of having a new love interest."
- ...
- Wow, they occupied the top five spots on the trending list. The attached pictures were from yesterday when she and Cold Night were at the coffee shop.
- An Jingxi couldn't help but sigh and rub her forehead. How did they get photographed like this? "Xiao Mi, he and I are innocent. There's nothing between us!"
- "I know, but now everyone online is criticizing you. What's the truth between you and Cold Night?" Mi Ge chose to believe her, of course.
- An Jingxi glanced at An Le and walked to the side, speaking softly, "Let me explain from the beginning..."
- "Oh my god, why didn't you accept the pursuit of such an outstanding man? If it were me, I would be waking up from a dream with a smile!" Mi Ge was about to jump out of the phone.
- "But... I already have Shen Shen and Le Le." An Jingxi didn't know how to explain.
- "I know, but you can't spend your whole life with just An Le and Shen Shen. You're still young, you still have choices. I don't want you to regret it later." Mi Ge earnestly advised.
- "Okay, I understand." An Jingxi absentmindedly agreed.
- "And if anyone gives you trouble, you have to tell me. I'll support you. Don't keep it to yourself." Mi Ge had seen online bullying and knew how terrifying it could be.
- "I know, my guardian angel. Let's not talk about it for now. It's almost time for dinner." An Jingxi looked at An Le, whose stomach was growling but he wasn't making a fuss.
- "Go ahead, don't let my little baby go hungry."
- "Get lost."
- After hanging up the phone, the mother and son went to a Sichuan restaurant for dinner.
- "Here, sweetheart, your favorite braised pork ribs and stir-fried chicken chunks." An Jingxi ordered the Sichuan dishes that she and An Le liked.
- "Thank you, Mommy."
- Watching An Le enjoy the food, An Jingxi couldn't help but think of An Shen. Since he was young, he never liked spicy food and would avoid it at all costs.
- But An Le and she considered spice as essential and even consulted a doctor about the potential harm of eating too much spicy food for children. The doctor assured them that it was completely normal and safe. Only then did An Jingxi feel relieved.
- "It's good that you like it, my dear. You need to eat more to become strong."
- Just as they finished their meal and returned upstairs, An Jingxi heard her phone ringing. It was a text message from an unknown number.
- "I have already taken care of it, and it won't affect you. Also, please don't block me again, okay?" An Jingxi's grip tightened slightly around her phone when she read the words "don't block me again."
- Although she didn't want to acknowledge him, he had indeed helped her. After thinking for a moment, An Jingxi politely replied, "Thank you."
- When she opened Weibo again, all the previous messages were gone, and the top trending topics were now about other celebrities' scandals.
- It seemed as though the incident had not caused any ripples. An Jingxi smiled, impressed by the influence of the Cold Group, one of the world's top 100 companies.
- "Ding, ding."
- Her phone rang again, this time it was a WeChat message from Xiaomi. "Oh, oh, oh! Baby, did you see Weibo? All the news about you disappeared. Who performed this kind act?"
- An Jingxi could almost envision Xiaomi's excited expression on the other end of the phone, bouncing around like an energetic monkey.
- "Yes, I saw it." An Jingxi remained composed.
- "You saw it? Only a few people can make a scandal vanish so quickly. Could it be... is it really you?" Xiaomi felt like she had stumbled upon something significant.
- "What are you thinking? You're overthinking it. It's not him." An Jingxi quickly interjected, halting her from continuing her thoughts.
- "Him? Who is he? I didn't mention anyone. Why are you so eager to deny it? Could there really be something going on?" Xiaomi couldn't help but speculate.
- Forget it. It's not true." An Jingxi pouted.
- They continued chatting for a while before ending the call.
- An Jingxi stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing into the distance, and silently whispered, "Thank you, Leng Ye."
- Meanwhile, in the CEO's office of the Cold Group, Leng Ye lit a cigarette and stood by the floor-to-ceiling window as well.
- Chen Su handed over all the information he had just found, and Cold Night frowned as he finished reading it.
- "The photos are well taken, but since he dared to harm my people, let him be permanently blacklisted in the industry. Additionally, anyone who has ever insulted my loved one online will receive warning letters from our lawyers."
