Chapter 53: It Must Be Fake, Right?

But because the scene was chaotic and the distance was far, the photos were blurry.

So fans flocked to express their understanding of the live broadcast being paused and their concern for the person involved.

Gu Zhiyan chose two replies, saying that the person was fine and thanked everyone for their concern.

The whole incident was perfectly resolved.

Millions of red envelopes were scattered out, easily diverting the attention of netizens, allowing Jian Yao, who should have been the center of the event’s public opinion, to perfectly disappear.

Jian Yao had a clear conscience towards Lu Chengze. From the beginning of the incident to now, her only concern was whether it would affect Jian’s and Gu’s companies.

As for the people online who didn’t know the truth and would judge her with what kind of eyes for her temporary switch of partners and flash marriage before her engagement, she couldn’t care less.

Everyone’s thinking is different, and their views are also different. She was prepared to be called a gold digger and heartless.

Unexpectedly, in a place where she couldn’t see, Gu Zhiyan had already silently taken care of everything for her.

Jian Yao held her phone and pondered.

He resolved her crisis in the most relaxed and effortless way.

No wonder everyone in the business circle said that Gu Zhiyan was a marketing genius.

The next day.

Gu Zhiyan indeed brought people to move her.

These maids were temporarily transferred from the old house. Hearing that she was going to move in with Gu Zhiyan, they were overjoyed.

They were all trained professionals from a big family. After entering the room and communicating with Jian Yao about anything they needed to pay special attention to, they began to tidy up one by one.

Jian Yao gave each of them a drink, while she herself took the more important things and went ahead. The rest would be sent directly after they were sorted.

Gu Zhiyan was in front, taking care of the luggage, while Jian Yao followed him, opening doors and pressing the elevator. They had a clear division of labor.

As the car drove out of the community gate, Jian Yao looked at the increasingly distant gate and finally felt the reality of moving out and living with Gu Zhiyan.

This feeling was a bit strange.

She couldn’t explain it, but she really wanted to share it with someone.

So, she took out her phone and bothered Xu Si.

Jian Yao: “Sister, I’m going to move in with Gu Zhiyan.”

As soon as she sent it, Xu Si hadn’t replied yet, but her own ears turned red first.

Gu Zhiyan held the steering wheel with one hand and took out a drink, handing it to her, “Want some water?”

Jian Yao was staring at her chat interface with Xu Si. Suddenly hearing Gu Zhiyan’s words, she was startled and her mind went blank for a moment. When she realized what he said, she immediately closed her phone and took the drink.

Gu Zhiyan hadn’t been looking at her side, but now seeing her flustered look, he turned his head and looked at her deeply.

Jian Yao felt Gu Zhiyan’s gaze, coughed lightly, tucked the nonexistent hair behind her ear, and twisted the bottle cap several times.

It didn’t open…

Gu Zhiyan watched her series of small movements. When the car stopped at a red light, he reached out and twisted the bottle cap open for her, tilting his head and looking at her with amusement.

“Have you heard a saying?”

Jian Yao looked up at him, her eyes clear.

Gu Zhiyan met her clear gaze and spoke clearly, “People look very busy when they’re embarrassed.”

Jian Yao: …

Thank you for that!

There’s no need to explain everything to me.

Jian Yao took small sips of the drink, remembering that her grandmother had mentioned going back to the old house once.

This was her first time visiting, and it would be disrespectful to go empty-handed.

“Can you tell me about the preferences of the people in the Gu family? Especially Mom and Grandma.”

They are really nice.

Although yesterday’s incident was without any major consequences, Gu Zhiyan was still implicated by her.

If it were any other mother-in-law and grandmother, they would definitely have some reservations about her, their daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law.

But Gu’s mother and Gu’s grandmother never blamed her at all. Instead, they kept comforting her.

She was truly grateful.

Gu Zhiyan held the steering wheel, the wedding ring on his finger gleaming faintly in the sunlight. “Mom loves beauty, so you can just buy her some skincare products.”

“As for Grandma…” He paused, seeming to be lost in thought. “Grandma has a lot of hobbies. She likes to watch and collect anime merchandise, she likes mobile phone and car models, but she already has all of those.”

“Get her a cotton doll. She just got into them recently, and it should still be a new thing for her.”

Jian Yao’s mouth opened slightly.

So Grandma was so trendy?

On the other side.

Lu Chengze was detained at the police station overnight and wasn’t released until noon by Assistant Lin.

Just one night, and he seemed to have completely changed.

He was haggard and dejected, like a puppet with its soul removed. He had lost all his energy.

Wu Yue didn’t expect that one day Jian Yao would personally send Lu Chengze to the police station.

Not to mention Lu Chengze, even Wu Yue couldn’t handle this contrast.

When they left the police station, he was worried that Lu Chengze wouldn’t give up and would go find Jian Yao again.

He had already offended Gu Zhiyan yesterday, and now going to find Jian Yao would only make things worse.

Today was the final deadline for Li’s company.

They really couldn’t afford any more trouble.

Fortunately, Lu Chengze seemed to finally remember that he had a pile of messes to deal with at the company and stopped making a fuss.

On the way back to the company, Assistant Lin, drove silently, while Lu Chengze sat in the back seat with a wooden expression, like a statue.

Wu Yue, in the passenger seat, looked at Lu Chengze, then at Lin, and sighed softly.

The atmosphere remained tense until they reached Lu’s company.

They hadn’t even entered the building when they heard a few receptionists whispering from the other side of the wall.

“Did you guys see the trending topic on Weibo? Sister Jian married into the Gu family! The Gu family!”

“Of course, you’re so behind the times! I not only know Sister Jian married into the Gu family, but I also know why our CEO isn’t at work today.”

As soon as she said that, the other girls’ appetites were immediately piqued. They turned their heads and looked at her with bright eyes.

“Why?”

The girl who had revealed the information lowered her voice and whispered, “Yesterday, President Lu went to find Mr. Gu and Sister Jian to demand an explanation. He got into Mr. Gu’s car and was sent to the police station.”

“Ah?”

A chorus of gasps followed her words.

“Is that true?”

“It must be true. I heard a few company executives talking about it in the breakroom this morning. They said that CEO Lu already caused a big problem with Liu Yiyi, and now he’s offended the Gu family. The shareholders are already considering removing him from his position.”

The whispers continued, but Wu Yue couldn’t hear what they were saying anymore.

All he could think about was the phrase “remove him from his position.”

BrotherLu was such a proud person. He had just lost Jian Yao, and if he was removed from his position here…

He didn’t dare to look at Lu Chengze’s face. His eyes wandered aimlessly to Lin, seeking some comfort.

It’s fake.

It must be fake, right?

Brother Lu had dedicated so much to the company over the years. Even if he didn’t have any merit, he had put in a lot of effort. It’s impossible that he would be sentenced to death just because of one mistake, right?
