"Ma'am, something happened."

Zhou Lan frowned. "What is it?"

"Someone posted online saying that our young lady is getting engaged to President Fu..."

A hint of surprise flashed in Zhou Lan's eyes, but her expression remained calm.

“There was already a marriage agreement between our two families. If it weren’t for Lin Qingran’s interference, Yu Yan would have married Xiu Heng long ago. Now it’s just fulfilling the previous marriage agreement again, what’s so surprising?”

Lin Yuyan was even more excited upon hearing this news, "Really? Could it be that the Fu family said it?"

"If that's the case, that would be great." The butler looked troubled.

Seeing this, Zhou Lan sensed something was wrong and became serious.

"What exactly happened? Explain yourself quickly."

"If it were just about Miss and President Fu getting engaged, that wouldn't be a big deal. Well, I don't know who posted the photos of Miss and President Fu together online. And, and they were very private... taken when Miss Qingran was around."

Zhou Lan turned her head instantly and looked at Lin Yuyan.

Lin Yuyan waved her hands frantically, "Impossible! Xiu Heng and I have never done anything like that... Let's not talk about that. After he married Lin Qingran, the most outrageous thing we did was hold hands and hug. We didn't even kiss! How did these photos get leaked!"

"Has the post been deleted?" Zhou Lan asked the housekeeper.

"We've already arranged for someone to delete the post, but this incident has spread very widely, and people are posting screenshots everywhere. Even though the original post is gone, people keep reposting it." Cold sweat broke out on the butler's forehead.

"The master and young master have already taken care of it, and the public relations department is also trying to find a solution, but we don't know when the situation will calm down."

Zhou Lan frowned deeply. It seemed that this was a premeditated smear campaign targeting the Lin and Fu families.

With such a large business empire, the Fu family is frequently targeted by rumors and smear campaigns; this has become commonplace.

Moreover, they have the best public relations department in the country, which can easily solve these problems.

However, the Lin family is different from the Fu family. Zhou Lan holds very few shares in the Lin Group and has no real power.

She hasn't even taken back the Lin Group yet, and now the Lin Group is suffering such slander; this situation is probably not good.

Do you have a screenshot of the post? Let me see it.

The housekeeper quickly took out his phone and handed it to Zhou Lan, and Lin Yuyan also quickly followed.

The moment she saw it, her face turned red, and she let out a scream.

"This is definitely a composite! Or it's someone with a similar build to us!"

The most explicit photo here shows a man and a woman sitting in a car, entangled in a compromising situation.

Although it wasn't too explicit, a quick glance made it clear what the two people inside the car were doing.

However, their figures are similar to those of the two of them, and their faces are not clearly visible, leaving enough room for the public's imagination.

As for the others, most of them are photos of her holding hands or hugging Fu Xiuheng.

That suggestive photo may be fake, but the other photos clearly show the two of them.

For a brother-in-law and sister-in-law to do such a thing, even if they were previously engaged, is still against human ethics.

Most importantly, they were always together and did so many intimate things, so naturally some people would believe that she and Fu Xiuheng really did that kind of thing in the car.

Lin Yuyan screamed, "Who did this?!"

Zhou Lan couldn't figure it out for a moment.

Could it be Lin Qingran?

But where would she get such great ability?

Even though she escaped death and was fortunate enough to be adopted by Jiang Yuanbai, Jiang Yuanbai was nothing more than a painter.

He doesn't do business, and he has no political backing. Lin Qingran was just adopted by him. How could he possibly have the ability to do such a thing?

As for the one next to Lin Qingran, that's even more impossible. That boy looks like a hoodlum, not someone who's going to amount to anything.

Zhou Lan couldn't help but feel confused.

At this moment, the butler let out another exclamation.

"Someone posted again!"

Based on the content of the post, it appears to be the same person who posted it before, but with a different ID.

This time, there are no random pictures; it simply tells a story.

He explained in detail how Lin Yuyan was rejected after being falsely identified as a heiress, how Fu Xiuheng married Lin Qingran, how he became entangled with Lin Yuyan, and how Fu Xiuheng was celebrating Lin Yuyan's birthday while Lin Qingran died in childbirth.

Zhou Lan's heart skipped a beat after reading it.

The Lin family has kept these entanglements between the three younger generations a closely guarded secret.

Although the Fu family had some reservations about this, for the sake of their own reputation, they joined forces with the Lin family to keep the outside world in the dark.

If anyone knows the most about the relationship between the three of them, it can only be Lin Qingran.

It seems that this post was indeed exposed by Lin Qingran herself.

But where did she get such great ability?

Zhou Lan was momentarily confused, and then a chill crept up her spine.

What if Lin Qingran really is that capable?

Could it be that Lin Qingran knows far more than she imagines?

Scrolling down, the last sentence of the post struck Zhou Lan's heart perfectly: "Dear esteemed elders of the Lin family, Mr. Fu Xiuheng is not a sentimental person, so what methods did you use to make him continue to entangle with your family's fake daughter during the continuation of the marriage?"

Zhou Lan couldn't help but shiver, a bad feeling suddenly rising in her heart.

"You stay home and stay put, I'm going to the company to check on things."

"Mom!" Lin Yuyan stood up abruptly.

"What should I do now? Grandpa Fu already looks down on me. If these things get back to the Fu family, how can I marry Brother Xiuheng?"

"Don't worry, Yan Yan, Mom will think of a way to help you," Zhou Lan said patiently.

After appeasing Lin Yuyan, Zhou Lan hurried out and headed straight for the Lin Group.

Meanwhile, the Lin Group was in complete chaos, with Shen Pei'an and Shen Qiyan busy holding meetings with the public relations department to deal with the matter that had been exposed online.

Zhou Lan was stopped outside the meeting room by Shen Pei'an's secretary and not allowed to enter.

“Madam, the president said he has important business to attend to right now and no one is allowed to disturb him. Why don’t you wait in the lounge for a while? I will come and tell you as soon as the president finishes his meeting.”

Shen Pei'an's young secretary spoke politely to Zhou Lan, but a hint of provocation flashed in her eyes.

Zhou Lan sneered and raised her hand to poke her secretary hard in the chest.

“I know all about your scandalous affair with Shen Pei’an, but I just don’t say anything. Young lady, don’t think you can win a man’s heart just because you’re young. To him, you’re just a plaything. I advise you to tone it down, lest one day he gets tired of you and you’re left all alone to jump into the deep pit you dug before.”
