Soft-centered strawberry cake

Chapter 129 Xiaoming and President Pei

Inside the room, the curtains blocked out the sunlight, and the room was quiet.

Mingwei was also lying on the sofa. She seemed to be taking a nap, but in reality, she was thinking about what she and Wen Jiani were planning.

The phone rang, and Mingwei slowly opened her eyes.

The call was from Qi Fei. Ming Wei answered the phone, thinking it would be a good opportunity to tell Qi Fei that she would be taking a few days off.

"Xiaoming, have you seen the trending topics?"

"What trending topic?" Ming Wei was a little confused. It turned out that Qi Fei had called her to chat about gossip.

Qi Fei couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Me?! Your husband is trending on social media and you're still clueless!"

"I gonna go see."

After Mingwei finished speaking, she quickly hung up the phone. What could Pei Ming possibly have that would make it to the trending topics? Wasn't he sitting on a plane right now?

Qi Fei also opened the trending topics again. Since Ming Wei had said that there was nothing between Pei Ming and Xia Wanfeng, Qi Fei believed what Ming Wei had said.

Is Xia Wanfeng suspected of having an affair with a married man?
The CEO of Ming Group had an affair with Xia Wanfeng!
Some people have even compiled a list of events between Pei Ming and Xia Wanfeng:
1. The two of them were childhood sweethearts;
2. At the Ming Group charity auction, Xia Wanfeng donated a large sum of money to support Pei Ming;
3. Xia Wanfeng came to Jiangcheng to attend the product launch of Ming's Group and became the spokesperson for Ming's Group's products;
4. Pei Ming and Xia Wanfeng were drinking and having a secret rendezvous by the river in Jiangcheng.

5. Pei Ming and Xia Wanfeng later met in the capital and had another secret rendezvous.

Looking at the trending topics, Ming Wei was also incredulous. Who could be the person who released the complete timeline of events?

Furthermore, Pei Ming's face was blurred in Jiang Cheng's photo, so why isn't it blurred now?

In those photos from the capital, I was clearly sitting next to Pei Ming, so why are only Xia Wanfeng and Pei Ming in the picture now?
Mingwei suddenly remembered that Pei Ming had deliberately sat opposite Xia Wanfeng and even said that he was taking advantage of her.

Then, Mingwei remembered Pei Ming's instructions to her the night before, telling her to find Fu Baiqing if anything happened.

Without a second's hesitation, Ming Wei found Fu Baiqing's phone number and dialed it.

At home, Fu Baiqing, sitting on the sofa, glanced at his phone. He wasn't surprised that Ming Wei had called him.

"Hey, Miss, you're calling me so soon?"

"Cousin, what exactly are you and Pei Ming plotting?"

Mingwei could guess that Pei Ming had planned Pei Ming and Xia Wanfeng's affair long ago. He deliberately mentioned Fu Baiqing, which was his way of telling her that Fu Baiqing was in the know about it.

"Of course it's about planning something big. Whether we can avenge your father depends on this." Fu Baiqing said with a smile, his smile revealing a calm and composed demeanor.

"I bet you're the one who provided the information about Pei Ming's whereabouts that's trending on social media?"

"Besides me, besides himself, who else could it be?"

Mingwei had already guessed what Pei Ming wanted to do, and even his arrangements for Wen Jiani.

A mischievous smile crept across her lips. "Alright, if we're going to play, let's play big."

"What do you mean?" Fu Baiqing raised an eyebrow, wanting to see what kind of tricks Ming Weiyi would come up with.

"Could you please spread the word, cousin, that I want to divorce Pei Ming?"

"Is it such a big deal?"

“If your plot requires it, I can go even further.” Ming Weiyi’s eyes revealed an eager look, as if she wanted to watch the show.

"Okay, I look forward to your performance then."

"Pei Ming and I will be away from the company for the next few days, Mr. Fu, so you'd better seize this opportunity."

Fu Baiqing immediately understood what Ming Weiyi meant. It seemed that the couple were waiting for him to seize power from the Ming family.

Pei Ming chose to cooperate with Fu Baiqing and even let Fu Baiqing do such a "dangerous" thing. Ming Wei also chose to stand with Pei Ming and trust Fu Baiqing.

Rather than believing in Fu Baiqing, Mingwei believed more that Pei Ming would win this bet.

Fu Baiqing's ability to help Pei Ming and his involvement in the affair caused Ming Wei's opinion of him to change once again. Within an afternoon, rumors of Pei Ming's affair with Xia Wanfeng were rampant online.

Even more shockingly, news has surfaced that the eldest daughter of the Ming family is divorcing Pei Ming.

Ming Wei remained completely unfazed, but Xia Wanfeng was in an uproar.

She made a phone call to Ming Weiyi.

"What's going on?! How did I suddenly become a mistress? And why are you divorcing Pei Ming out of the blue?"

From the phone call, Xia Wanfeng sounded extremely annoyed, so Ming Wei quickly explained, "What you saw was all a scheme orchestrated by Pei Ming. Don't explain too much lately. After it's all over, I'll definitely make it up to you!"

Are you two sure you're alright?

Hearing Ming Wei say that this was just a setup, Xia Wanfeng felt relieved.

Mingwei nodded on the other end of the phone, "I'm sure, Pei Ming and I are doing well."

"Fine, you two better remember the grievances I suffered today, and come back to me with your heads another day."

Xia Wanfeng was too lazy to ask Ming Weiyi why she had set her up; she didn't want to understand such a complicated matter.

Anyway, as Pei Ming's friend, she knew that Pei Ming must have his reasons for doing this.

By dinnertime, Ming Weiyi's phone was ringing off the hook; she was exhausted from answering so many calls.

Upon entering the restaurant, Mingwei noticed that the Pei family members were all looking at her cautiously, as if they wanted to say something but hesitated.

She immediately understood what everyone meant. It seemed that the Pei family, as well as Pei Ming's brother and sister-in-law, had already seen Pei Ming trending on social media.

"Dad, Mom, eldest brother, sister-in-law, everything that happened online was a setup by Pei Ming. You don't need to take it seriously, and I won't divorce Pei Ming."

After hearing what Ming Weiyi said, the Pei family couple, Pei Cheng, and Tong Ziyan were all relieved.

As long as nothing happens between Pei Ming and Ming Wei, that would be the best outcome.

Monday, Jiangcheng

The news on the trending topics had already spread throughout the Ming Group. Early in the morning, Fu Baiqing convened an emergency meeting with the company's public relations team.

This meeting was just a performance by Fu Baiqing. Now that Pei Mingyuan is in Beihai, Ming Wei wants to make things even bigger.

Therefore, the public relations efforts of the Ming Group towards Pei Ming are completely unnecessary.

The PR team simply issued a lawyer's letter, denying that the rumors circulating online were false.

Planning Department 1

Looking at the PR document sent to Pei Ming by the Ming Group on her phone, Qi Fei found the bland and meaningless text utterly unappealing.

She immediately switched screens and opened WeChat, then sent Du Lian a WeChat message:
"Could you please replace your entire PR team? What kind of nonsense is this?!"

Du Lian was the one who knew perfectly well what was going on; he sat in his office pretending to be working.

He received a message from Qi Fei, thought for a moment, and then replied:
"Sometimes, some things are just something to deal with, and all we have to do is watch the show in silence."

Qi Fei immediately understood that Du Lian must know more and deeper things, otherwise he wouldn't have spoken so mysteriously. She also knew that there were some things that shouldn't be asked.

Thinking about Ming Wei's relationship with Pei Ming, Qi Fei sent another message: "By the way, I already know the secret you never told me."

"What secret?"

"Xiao Ming and President Pei."

Du Lian was momentarily surprised when he saw the message on his phone screen.

Pei Ming and Ming Wei haven't been around lately, so how did Qi Fei find out about this?

It must have been Ming Weiyi herself who said it!
