The Bully President and the Serious Wife

Mrs. Xie was very unhappy, like a child being scolded by her own son.

She patted Xie Zhenting's hand and said, "Okay, whatever you say. My IQ is low, so what does it matter?"

Xie Zhenting sighed. His mother's IQ was always like this.

"Oh, you're getting on my nerves! I almost forgot. Grant's sister's bat mitzvah is this weekend. You better not forget. They've told us multiple times that it would be awkward if we didn't go."

Xie Zhenting had almost forgotten about that incident. His eyes were squinting, as if he was lost in thought.

After a moment, he regained his composure and replied briefly, "Of course, I will go."

"What do you want to do now?" Mrs. Xie asked. He looked very strange.

No one knows him better than Mrs. Xie. After all, she raised him. She knows when her son is plotting something.

Xie Zhenting smiled. “Oh, nothing. I’m leaving.”

Xu Lu returned to the studio early in the morning. She was focused on her work.

No matter how much gossip about her spreads online, she always arrives on time at the shooting location and updates her blog in a timely manner.

Ouyang Xue is now a celebrity. Someone uploaded a video of her brutal behavior online.

The original story was that Ouyang Xue beat her mistress, causing her to miscarry. Xu Rubai spoke up for his mistress and slapped his wife in public.

There are two main camps of online commenters: those who support Ouyang Xue—those who believe the mistress deserved her punishment—and those who sympathize with poor Tang Yuyao.

However, in just one day, the story changed again.

Reports indicate that Tang Yuyao was not actually Xu Rubai's mistress. She and her boyfriend were both employees of Xu's company. Her boyfriend died in a car accident a month ago. Xu Rubai, out of sympathy for her, provided extra care for the pregnant employee.

This aroused the wrath of his jealous wife, who beat the poor girl until she had a miscarriage. His boyfriend was the only son in the family, so Ouyang Xue almost ended his entire bloodline.

This new version of the story was shocking. All the haters who had cursed Tang Yuyao before gathered together to ask for her forgiveness.

At the same time, people began to point their guns at the cold-blooded killer Ouyang Xue and all her ancestors.

Netizens began tagging local police on Weibo, demanding they arrest the murderer.

Some even accused her of attempted murder, as the video clearly showed Tang Yuyao pleading for mercy on behalf of her unborn baby. Ouyang Xue, however, chose to beat her even more harshly. This callous and heartless attitude shuddered many and sparked unprecedented outrage online.

The police have publicly stated that they will investigate the case.

Xu Lu was surprised. This unexpected turn of events was actually extremely beneficial to her. Who had done this? Someone must have orchestrated all of this.

The first person Xu Lu thought of was Xie Zhenting. She took out her cell phone and hesitated for a long time before calling.

Xie Zhenting immediately picked up the phone. "You finally called. Did you miss me?"

When Xu Lu heard Xie Zhenting's voice, her hesitation disappeared immediately.

Xu Lu rolled her eyes. “Come on, be serious. What are you doing online?”

"What is it? Please, I'm serious about everything you do." He really wanted to sleep with her, he really wanted to flirt with her. Xie Zhenting felt that he was always serious when he was with her.

In a room full of people, he had a phone to his ear, a smile on his face, and his shareholders were bewildered.

Is it a face-swapping game? One minute, he was in such a foul mood, as if he wanted to throw every one of them out the window.

Just got a call from God and he totally changed his mood. His smile is so bright and his face changing skills are the best.

Qu Jing was very curious, and his eyes followed Xie Zhenting as he walked out the door.

Qu Jing asked Jiang Lin: "Hey, that's..."

Jiang Lin looked at him. "What do you think?"

Qu Jing stroked his chin, thinking. "Do you think she's that good? I saw those rumors online. None of them are positive. Just yesterday, there were new rumors that she was having an affair with her junior colleague. Some people saw them entering a hotel together."

Jiang Lin turned around and looked at Qu Jing sternly. “General Manager, don’t say I didn’t warn you. If you don’t shut up, you’ll be in trouble soon.”

"I only told you..." Qu Jing stammered, pretending to cough.

"But I can report to the boss at any time!" Jiang Lin said with a cunning smile.

"I was there that night, too. Miss Lulu attended a company dinner with her junior colleagues. Our company quickly issued a statement to quell the rumors. From their attire, it was obvious they were attending an event. How do people fabricate an affair? Or a rumor? If the boss finds out, you're screwed."

Xu Lu and Leng Jiang went to the Pei family's banquet together, but the paparazzi followed her to the hotel and took pictures of them entering the hotel together.

This was enough for them to start a new rumor that she and Leng Jiang were having an affair, although basically no one else believed those rumors except the Internet.

The photos clearly show the two of them dressed in formal attire for an official event. A secret bash? What idiot would be so foolish as to dress like that?

"Hey, I'm just saying, man. Just don't give me away, okay?" Qu Jing awkwardly tried to defuse the situation.

Xie Zhenting has never been in such a good mood. This is the first time Xu Lu has taken the initiative to call him.

"Has the little goblin noticed what a nice man I am?" he thought.

Xu Lu sighed. “Don’t play games with me. I’m talking about Tang Yuyao. She lost her boyfriend overnight. Don’t tell me this isn’t your masterpiece.”

This strategy reeked of Xie Zhenting's style. Besides, she couldn't think of anyone else who would help her in this way.

Xu Lu was surprised to find that the first person she thought of was Xie Zhenting, which meant that she already trusted Xie Zhenting to a certain extent.

Xie Zhenting thought she was angry and asked: "Yes, it's me, are you angry? Make the public resonate with Tang Yuyao and deal with Ouyang Xue strictly so that she will not be shunned by the public. Isn't that what you want?"

Xu Lu did not deny it and said, "Yes, Xie Zhenting. No, it should be Xu Zhenting. Listen, I want to thank you."

It’s not that Xu Lu doesn’t want to protect Tang Yuyao, but that Xu Lu doesn’t have enough influence to protect her.

Seeing Tang Yuyao being dragged into the mud, while she stood by helplessly, she made a mess of her, but she couldn't get rid of it.

With Xie Zhenting's help, Xu Lu finally breathed a sigh of relief. At least, she could get Tang Yuyao out of this mess.

Xu Lu's gratitude was heartfelt. It wasn't sarcasm or a joke. It was genuine.

Xie Zhenting was the first person willing to lend a helping hand. Even if they go their separate ways in the future, she will never forget this incident.

This time it was Xie Zhenting who was shocked. He hadn’t even noticed his new name, Xu Zhenting. “Well… you’re welcome. Consider it a welcome gift for joining the Xie family company. You’re my employee after all, and I can’t let my employees be bullied like this, right?”

Xu Lu smiled. “Okay, I’m going to hang up now. I have a movie to make.”

"etc……"

"anything else?"

“Of course. Are you free tonight?”

"I can't sleep with you." Xu Lu fought back without thinking.

Xie Zhenting's face turned melancholic. "What do you think I do? Do you think I'm always thinking about sex?"

Xu Lu laughed. She cleared her throat and said, "That night, your mother told me to take money from you while I still could, because once you got tired of me, you'd find a way to get rid of me. You're not a good man after all, she said."

Xie Zhenting was speechless. What else could he say? His mother had already dug a hole for him to jump into.

He gritted his teeth and hissed, "Oh my God, you guys were still talking about such deep topics that night?"

He initially thought it would be a good idea to let Xu Lu and his mother share a room. It would give them a chance to get to know each other.

What happened was that they both spoke ill of him.

If he had known this earlier, he would never have let Xu Lu sleep with his mother. He just wanted to say, 'Mom, you really speak ill of your son.'

Xu Lu could imagine Xie Zhenting's expression and said, "Yes, this is indeed a profound topic."

“Stop talking nonsense,” Xie Zhenting roared. “Tell me, you want to see Tang Yuyao? Don’t you?”

Xu Lu was stunned, but immediately blurted out, "Yes!"

“Will you go out with me tonight?”

"OK!"

"Like this. You say you miss me, just once."

The phone was disconnected.

"What's the big deal if I want to sleep with you all day? What gives you the right to say that?" Xie Zhenting muttered without putting down his phone.
