The younger sister pretends to be hypnotized, and her older brother gets addicted.

At this moment, the people gathered on the first floor were still unaware of what had happened.

Qiao Lingling rushed to the scene upon hearing the news.

She found Ruan Yang, and her first words were:

"Miss Ruan, Xiaomei just wants an apology. Please just lower your head."

Ruan Yang helplessly defended himself, "I really didn't fire Xiao Mei."

Jiang Zhuo's expression turned cold. "Even now, you're still lying? Ruan Yang, you've disappointed me greatly—"

His voice abruptly stopped.

Not far away, on the LED screen of the Jiang Group building, a news program was playing.

The crowd became noisy:

"Look, isn't that Chen Xiaomei?"

"She gave a television interview!"

Ruan Yang also looked up.

The camera shot is inside a hospital ward.

The reporter's voice rang out: "Ms. Chen contacted our station this afternoon, hoping for help in debunking the rumors. We are currently in Ms. Chen's mother's hospital room. Ms. Chen, hello, is there anything you would like to say to our viewers?"

In the video, Chen Xiaomei is petite and simple, but her eyes are very bright.

"Hello everyone, I am Chen Xiaomei."

"The rumors circulating online are all false. I am also very sorry that Ms. Ruan has been placed in the center of public opinion because of me."

"Actually, Ms. Ruan did not fire me. After learning about my mother's illness, she not only gave me a two-week leave, but also lent me 100,000 yuan."

"Although she said I didn't have to return it, my mother taught me from a young age that I shouldn't take other people's things for free."

"..."

Chen Xiaomei took out her phone.

Show the camera her chat history with Ruan Yang during this period.

The host asked, "Is the phone recording that surfaced online also fake?"

Chen Xiaomei said helplessly, "That's what I wanted to explain too."

As she spoke, she turned on a TV series in front of the camera.

A line of dialogue appears at 33 minutes and 25 seconds into the first episode.

"Mom, how could you leave Xiaomei like this! I don't want to live anymore!"

host:?

audience:?

Downstairs, a lively discussion broke out among the crowd.

"...How did you get the recording?"

"I feel younger today because I got completely fooled."

"Ruan Yang is such a kind person; not only did he lend Xiao Mei money, he also gave her a day off!"

"Oh! I'm sorry, I just yelled at her!"

"What's Song Lejiao doing, jumping around like that?"

Jiang Zhuo was stunned.

He looked at Ruan Yang, his voice hoarse, "Why don't you explain..."

Ruan Yang frowned. "Didn't I explain?"

Jiang Zhuo fell silent.

Yes, she explained, but he didn't believe her.

The happiest person was none other than Yao Jinzhi.

She hugged Ruan Yang, "Yangyang, you've been wronged."

Ruan Yang's nose felt sore.

She hadn't felt wronged at first, but the moment Yao Jinzhi hugged her, she seemed genuinely sad.

Qiao Lingling stood to the side, her face grim.

Public opinion reversed.

Song Lejiao, her best friend Qiao Lingling, and Qiao Lingling's boyfriend Jiang Zhuo were all subjected to public scrutiny.

Jiang Zhuo felt embarrassed and wanted to leave.

Yao Jinzhi stopped him, saying, "Jiang Zhuo, I've taught you how to be a decent person since you were little. You've slandered Yang Yang; shouldn't you apologize to her?"

People around heard Jiang Zhuo's name and all looked over.

"These are Jiang Zhuo and Qiao Lingling!"

The blind faith and fanaticism of the crowd were poured onto the two of them.

"Jiang Zhuo cut ties with Ruan Yang so quickly; if he had just investigated, he would have found out the truth!"

"Madam Jiang is a reasonable person."

"Damn it! How can such an idiot be a rich kid? I'd be the rich kid!"

"Don't worry, the eldest son of the Jiang family is in charge. Apparently, they even cut off his allowance because they didn't approve of Jiang Zhuo dating Qiao Lingling."

"No wonder Qiao Lingling started selling products online recently; she was broke."

……

Qiao Lingling's eyes were red.

Jiang Zhuo, on the other hand, was preoccupied with his own problems.

His life had been too smooth, but he finally encountered his first hurdle.

His face turned red, his temper flared up, and he was about to retort with a stiff neck.

Yao Jinzhi said calmly, "Aren't we considering the Jiang family's market value anymore?"

Jiang Zhuo froze.

Meanwhile, Ruan Yang breathed a sigh of relief.

When the tide goes out, you see who's been swimming naked. Because of her meddling, Jiang Zhuo's protagonist aura failed her.

that's nice!

Just then, her phone vibrated.

Jiang Yanci: Congratulations.

Yes, Ruan Yang changed the note back.

The word "husband" is a bit too cloying.

[Ruan Yang]: You know?

[Jiang Yanci]: With the market value soaring, everyone in the company calls you a lucky star.

Ruan Yang's face turned slightly red.

[Ruan Yang]: Is the project going smoothly?

[Jiang Yanci]: It went very smoothly.

There is more than one company in Germany.

After Jiang Yanci left the negotiating table, many local companies extended olive branches to him.

Jiang's company has always been a leader in artificial intelligence.

Some old European money is still immersed in the dreams of the last century and refuses to open their eyes to the world.

Even though they needed the help of the Eastern market, they still adopted a high-handed attitude, demanding not only core technologies but also all sorts of absurd requests.

Fortunately, Ruan Yang's news revealed their arrogance, thus avoiding disputes in subsequent cooperation.

They will inevitably pay the price for their arrogance.

really.

After the news about Ruan Yang took a turn for the worse, Jiang's market value soared, and that company came to seek cooperation again.

However, Jiang Yanci had already signed a contract with another company.

Assistant Lu also exclaimed, "President Jiang, everyone in the company group says that your wife is a lucky star."

Jiang Yanci smiled.

Yes, Yangyang is his little lucky star.

[Jiang Yanci]: Did you practice diligently today?

[Ruan Yang]: I practiced the basics when I didn't have classes in the morning.

[Jiang Yanci]: That's not what I meant.

Ruan Yang's face suddenly turned bright red.

She was certain that her older brother had done it on purpose.

She pursed her lips, unsure how to respond.

But then Jiang Yanci sent another message.

[Jiang Yanci]: The photos haven't been sent yet?

【Ruan Yang】: I don't want to send it.

[Jiang Yanci]: Okay, I'll give it all to you when I get back.

Ruan Yang was bewildered.

Give her everything?

Immediately afterwards, another message came in.

[Jiang Yanci]: So you have to practice obediently, otherwise you won't be able to handle it.

Ruan Yang suddenly realized, and the tips of her ears and the sides of her neck turned completely red.

Is this...right?!

The mobile phone seems to have become a hot potato.

She didn't dare to reply.

Since getting married, she has discovered that her older brother is not aloof or ascetic at all, and always manages to stir her heart.

She was no match for him at all.

At that moment, Jiang Zhuo's lips moved as if he intended to apologize to Ruan Yang.

But when his gaze fell on Ruan Yang, he saw her holding her phone, her expression focused.

In the darkness, the cool white glow of fireflies illuminated her face, highlighting her moist almond-shaped eyes and her delicate, flushed cheeks.

A man's sixth sense sends out an alarm.

Jiang Zhuo's heart inexplicably stirred.

He clenched his fist.

Who is she chatting with?

*

On the way back.

Yao Jinzhi had something to attend to, so only Ruan Yang and Jiang Zhuo were in the back row.

Ruan Yang held her phone, her face flushed. The clicking sound of her typing sounded to Jiang Zhuo like the sound of a sewing machine knitting a green hat.

Objectively speaking, Ruan Yang is quite pretty.

During her university years, quite a few people confessed their feelings to her.

But Ruan Yang only had eyes for him.

But now that Ruan Yang has forgotten him, will she accept someone else?

The clicking sound of typing grew more and more frequent.

Finally, Jiang Zhuo couldn't hold back any longer.

As the car turned the corner, he quickly reached out and took Ruan Yang's phone.

"What are you doing? Give it back!" Ruan Yang exclaimed anxiously.

Jiang Zhuo uttered five words: "My boyfriend is checking up on me."
