Chapter 31

Bo Jinxiu continued, “I’ve also looked into this person. Her name is Xu Weiwei, also known as Vivian in English. She was your colleague in the news department and was once the host of the morning news show. Do you have any grievances with her?”

Jiang Ciyou showed no surprise on her face, “There are some grievances.”

She looked at the figure in the video and sneered, “But she’s just doing someone else’s dirty work.”

Bo Jinxiu focused on Jiang Ciyou’s perfect profile and asked, “So you mean she’s being manipulated by someone?”

Jiang Ciyou’s eyes suddenly grew colder. “I know who it is.”

Bo Jinxiu said gravely, “How do you plan to deal with it? Do you need my help?”

Jiang Ciyou concentrated for a few seconds, then closed the laptop. Turning to Bo Jinxiu, she gently cradled his face and said, “No need, I can handle it myself. No need to trouble the Crown Prince.”

Hearing the term “Crown Prince,” the man’s brows furrowed slightly.

Jiang Ciyou leaned in with her red lips, her voice seductive, “How about coming to my room tonight?”

The man, of course, couldn’t refuse her invitation.

Jiang Ciyou felt that the man was exceptionally gentle today. He seemed to be trying to soothe her emotions and make her happy.

Jiang Ciyou enjoyed it very much. Her previously bad mood improved, and she even indulged in the tenderness.

However, he only kissed and teased her without taking further action.

Jiang Ciyou, burning with desire, arched her body and wanted more: “Give me…”

“Call me…” the man murmured softly in her ear.

“Darling.”

“No.”

“Baby…”

“That’s not what I want to hear.”

Jiang Ciyou’s consciousness was somewhat hazy, her heart feeling like it was brushed by countless feathers, itching unbearably. She used to call him that.

What did he really want to hear?

“Crown Prince?” Her voice was moist, soft, and coaxing like a cat.

The man still resisted giving her what she wanted.

“Jiang Ciyou, call my name.”

Jiang Ciyou slightly opened her eyes, her gaze filled with misty allure. Her lips were crimson and enchanting.

Her voice was captivating, laced with clear emotional confusion: “Bo… Jinxiu…”

Her voice was incredibly pleasing, almost hypnotic.

At this moment, Bo Jinxiu was also at his limit.

They enjoyed each other completely, immersed in mutual pleasure.

The next day, Jiang Ciyou called Vivian.

She invited her to meet.

Vivian, still quite arrogant, replied, “Sorry, the president of Liren has invited me for an interview today. I’m afraid I’m not as free as you.”

Vivian knew that Jiang Ciyou had lost her prime-time hosting position and had been forced into a vacation by the director. Although it was called a vacation, it was nearly the same as being shelved.

Not only had she lost her prime-time hosting position, but she was also likely to lose her midday news slot.

Vivian on the other end of the line was quite gleeful.

Jiang Ciyou’s voice remained composed and elegant, “If you don’t have time during the day, how about in the evening? At the Yunding Restaurant, I’ll treat you.”

Yunding Restaurant was one of the top high-end restaurants in Rongcheng.

Vivian considered for a few seconds before agreeing.

She knew this was likely a trap, probably because Jiang Ciyou had gotten wind of something and wanted to confront her.

But she wasn’t afraid.

Everyone in the TV station had always thought of Jiang Ciyou as a prominent socialite of Rongcheng because she was always dressed in designer brands, both noble and elegant.

Though people disliked her for showing off, they still feared her potential powerful background and didn’t dare to offend her.

They hadn’t expected her original family to be so unspectacular.

Even if she knows that those posts were made by herself, so what?

Evening.

Vivian deliberately arrived an hour late.

To her surprise, Jiang Ciyou was still patiently waiting in her seat.

Jiang Ciyou’s table was perfectly positioned, with a large floor-to-ceiling glass window on the side, offering a view of the river.

As Jiang Ciyou admired the river view, her elegant and beautiful appearance often drew the attention of people around her, who stopped to chat.

Vivian’s eyes flashed with a hint of jealousy.

She walked over decisively.

“The director is really heartless. This year, you practically took over all the advertising contracts at the station. You turned on me without a second thought, which is truly disheartening.”

Vivian had already sat down opposite Jiang Ciyou.

“I’ve just been hired as the editor-in-chief at Liren, and I happen to have an opening for an editorial assistant. Why don’t you quit and come work with me? Although it’s just an assistant position, I’ll take care of you. It’s better than being sidelined at the station.”

Vivian’s gaze was filled with sarcasm and disdain.

As a veteran with five years at the station, she had been overshadowed by Jiang Ciyou, who had only been working for a year. It was satisfying to finally have a chance to vent.

Jiang Ciyou’s expression remained calm, and she smiled lightly. “Thank you for your kind offer, but I’m not considering a job change at the moment.”

Vivian smiled derisively. “I’m doing this for your own good. Instead of waiting to be fired, it’s better to resign on your own and keep some dignity. Do you think the director would keep a murderer’s daughter who tarnishes the station? Even if the director wants to protect you, the station chief wouldn’t agree.”

Jiang Ciyou decided to be direct. “Aren’t you the reason for my current situation?”

Vivian was prepared for this. She put on an innocent look. “Jiang Ciyou, you brought this upon yourself, so don’t blame me. If I had your dirt, it wouldn’t have taken this long to come out.”

Jiang Ciyou pulled out a video from her phone and placed it in front of Vivian.

After watching the video, Vivian’s expression changed drastically.

She hadn’t expected Jiang Ciyou to have found the video of her posting in the internet café.

Vivian’s face showed a moment of panic, but she quickly regained her composure.

She decided to admit it outright. “Yes, I posted those messages. So what? I didn’t slander you. It’s a fact that your mother is a murderer.”

“Vivian, I’m not here to settle scores with you today. You made a very accurate point. If you had this information, it wouldn’t have been released only now. I just want to find out who gave you these materials.”

Although Jiang Ciyou had an answer in her mind, she still wanted to confirm it.

Vivian had received quite a few benefits, so she naturally wouldn’t reveal who gave her the information.

Moreover, Jiang Ciyou was now powerless and had a tarnished reputation. What did she have to fear?

“No one gave it to me. Jiang Ciyou, I’ve been investigating you all along. You’re so high and mighty, always pretending to be untarnished.”

“I originally thought you were truly a noble lady from a distinguished family, but it turns out you’re just another piece of mud. Your designer clothes and bags are all just for show.”

“Jiang Ciyou, you look down on me for finding a financial backer, but you’re no different from me—both hypocritical and vain. What right do you have to despise me?”

Jiang Ciyou slightly furrowed her brows.
