The atmosphere in the president's office of the Gu Group was heavy.

Gu Tingyu stared at the computer screen, his eyes revealing a rare anger.

The revelations and malicious speculations about contract marriages have been circulating on social media for several hours.

Push notifications from various media platforms kept popping up:

The truth about Chenxing Jewelry

The Deals Behind Marriages of the Rich

The Other Side of the Chief Designer

Each one is like a sharp sword, aimed directly at the reputation of Sumaiqi and Chenxing Jewelry.

His long, slender fingers tapped a few times on the keyboard, dialing Mo Yan's number.

Sunlight streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, but it couldn't dispel the somber atmosphere in the office.

"Do you need me to handle this for you?"

Mo Yan's voice remained as calm as ever, as if he had long anticipated this day.

"Investigate the source of these leaks," Gu Tingyu said, his voice laced with suppressed anger. "Especially Su Wanyu; see if she's left any incriminating evidence."

His knuckles were slightly white, revealing his inner turmoil.

"Su Wanyu is now very close to Shen Qingge, and her interests are also intertwined with Shen's Jewelry. This incident is inextricably linked to them."

Mo Yan paused for a moment, then added, "However, don't worry, all the details of the original contract were handled very cleanly. The hush money was also very generous, so Su Wanyu can't produce any substantial evidence."

The source of the information is being investigated; I will organize it and send it to you.

Gu Tingyu closed his eyes and rubbed his temples: "That's good. If necessary, we can take the necessary measures."

“Yes, I know. I won’t let anyone interfere with Chenxing’s development,” Mo Yan replied.

After hanging up the phone, Gu Tingyu stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the bustling cityscape outside.

The anger in my heart did not subside; instead, it burned even brighter.

The glass curtain walls of the distant high-rise buildings shimmered dazzlingly in the sunlight, like the jewels designed by Su Maqi, sparkling brilliantly.

Whether as a contract wife or a company employee, she exceeded expectations.

Why should they be slandered and attacked like this?

After a moment's thought, he turned on his computer and began preparing a statement.

The statement had just been written when Su Maiqi knocked and came in; Gu Tingyu showed her the completed statement:

"I am Gu Tingyu, Su Maiqi's husband. I am very angry and heartbroken about the false statements that have recently appeared on the Internet."

Maggie is the most important person in my life; her talent and hard work are undeniable. I reserve the right to pursue legal action against any malicious defamation against her.

Marriage is a choice made by two people, and feelings are the most private matter.

We don't need to prove anything to anyone, but I hope everyone can give us basic respect.

Every piece from Chenxing Jewelry embodies the designer's dedication and pursuit of beauty; this is what we should focus on.

After reading it, Su Maiqi's expression turned serious: "Should we really release this statement? Actually, the current revelations haven't had any real impact; they've only kept the buzz going."

Gu Tingyu looked up at her, sunlight streaming in from behind her, bathing her in a soft glow: "What are you worried about?"

Su Maiqi pursed her lips, her eyes flickering: "I'm thinking, if... the news of our divorce breaks three years from now, will today's statement become a ticking time bomb?"

I worry that if public opinion turns against us, the situation will become even worse.

Upon hearing the word "divorce," Gu Tingyu's heart clenched painfully.

He instinctively felt uncomfortable, as if something was tearing at his heart.

The feeling came suddenly and intensely, catching him somewhat off guard.

But he quickly composed himself and said in his usual rational tone, "Chenxing is currently developing very well, and we can't let such malicious rumors affect the company's interests. As for three years from now..."

He paused, his voice softening slightly, carrying a tenderness he himself didn't realize:

"Things that will happen three years from now will naturally be resolved. Besides, even if we do get divorced, it doesn't mean we're in a contractual marriage now. There's no way to prove that now, so you don't need to worry."

Su Maiqi looked into his eyes, those usually calm and composed eyes now showing a hint of emotion she couldn't understand.

She felt that something was hidden inside, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

"Okay." She finally nodded, a faint smile appearing on her face. "Whatever you say."

Half an hour later, a Weibo post appeared on Gu Tingyu's personal account.

This is the first time he has spoken out on social media in his personal capacity.

Normally, business announcements are released through the company's official account.

This detail itself conveys a unique message.

The Weibo post immediately caused a huge uproar. The comment section instantly exploded:

"My goodness! Is this the first time President Gu has spoken out using a personal account?"

"So sweet! This domineering way of protecting his wife is so swoon-worthy!"

"The phrase 'the most important person in my life' carries so much weight! President Gu is usually so aloof, but this time he actually said something so sentimental!"

"It really is true love! How could a contract marriage be this sweet!"

Meanwhile, in Su Wanyu's apartment.

She looked at Gu Tingyu's statement on her phone screen, and her face turned extremely ugly.

Even her meticulously applied makeup couldn't conceal the anger and jealousy in her eyes.

"Shen Qingge, that idiot!" She slammed her phone onto the sofa, her voice filled with gritted teeth and hatred.

"That's good. Now that she's spoken out in public, Su Maiqi might actually have a chance to be officially hired."

She paced restlessly around the room, her high heels making a crisp sound on the floor.

Suddenly, she stopped and walked to the full-length mirror.

The woman in the mirror had exquisite makeup and a slender figure; she was in the prime of her life.

"This weekend's party... I want to find a man even better than Gu Tingyu."

She murmured to herself, her eyes gradually hardening.

Her social media accounts have gained over ten million followers, and her live-streaming sales figures are also quite impressive.

Regardless of looks, finances, or abilities, now is the best time.

She wants to seize the opportunity to truly enter the circle of the wealthy and secure a stable marriage and a strong support system.

We'll see then whether Su Maiqi, this fake president's wife, can really live a better life than her.

She walked into the dressing room, her fingers lightly tracing a row of expensive gowns: "This time, I'm determined to be the most dazzling one."

As night deepens, the city's neon lights become increasingly dazzling.

Su Wanyu stood on the balcony, gazing at the lights of the tall buildings in the distance.

A gentle breeze ruffled her long hair, bringing a touch of coolness, but it couldn't extinguish the fire in her heart.

She will take back everything that Su Maiqi stole, twofold.

She also wanted to let Sumaiqi experience what it felt like to fall from a height.
