Songsong quickly walked over and stopped him. “Hubby, Jue’er, stop talking. With the enemy in front of us, let’s not make things difficult for our own people, okay?”
“Hmph, as long as he doesn’t provoke my woman, I can’t be bothered with him!”
“You…! Gong Jue, do you even think of me as your elder!”
Songsong smacked her forehead.
How did she marry such a hot headed husband? How did she give birth to such a hot headed son! If not for her grandson being obedient and cute, and her prospective wife being talented and smart, she would really doubt life.
In the chaos.
Gu Qiqi suddenly said calmly, “Auntie is right. There’s no need for us to fight amongst ourselves in the presence of external enemies. The important thing is to solve that untrue news.”
Gong Qing said unhappily, “Settle? That’s easy to say! I have a solution here.”
“Please say it.”
“If you have the guts to stand up and say that you seduced the two brothers with your own wishful thinking, apologize to the people, and bear the responsibility that you should bear, this matter will be resolved!”
“Uncle, forgive me for saying this, but your method is very stupid.”
Gong Qing was speechless. This was the second time in his life he had been called stupid by a junior! The last time was when his son despised him for being stupid!
Gong Jue curled his lips. “You have good taste. You can tell.”
Gu Qiqi raised her eyebrows and said, “As the person involved, no matter what we say, no one will believe us. The public will only believe what they want to see. Normal relationships are too smooth and unattractive. Only such strange rumors and the topic of the two brothers fighting for a woman will be spread by word of mouth. So it’s useless even if I say it. Besides, how can I say something I neve did.”
Gong Qing could not refute Gu Qiqi’s words.
But…
“Are we going to let the public opinion spread and wait for Sheng’er and Jue’er to be impeached and fired?!”
“Of course not. Uncle, aren’t you a little naive? There’s no such thing as black or white in this world. Have you forgotten that there’s gray?”
“What the heck!”
“To put it simply, we need a third party to speak for us. Someone who doesn’t stand for the two brothers, or me, or the media. That’s convincing.”
“Hmph, childish! Who would get involved in such a situation? This is not an ordinary rumor at all. This is a power struggle, do you understand! As a student who is inexperienced in the world, what do you know!” Gong Qing disagreed.
Gu Qiqi’s gaze was firm. “I don’t know, but I’ve already done it.”
“What?! What did you do?!” Gong Qing was shocked.
Even Gong Jue looked at her differently and could not help but ask, “Stupid woman, what did you do?”
Gu Qiqi pointed at the television in the room. “It should be effective now, right?”
The servant quickly turned on the television and tuned to the news channel.
Indeed, they were all gossiping about the two brothers fighting over a woman.
However, one of the television stations took the lead to broadcast an extraordinary interview.
A wealthy lady dressed up and said to the reporter, “Ah, I recognize the third photo. It’s a jade jewelry shop, but the Chief was just passing by that day. He doesn’t know the girl in the photo!”
Another noblewoman snorted and interrupted, “Someone actually guessed that he bought jewelry for that girl? Tsk, this is even more unbelievable. He clearly bought jewelry and donated it for charity. The shop and the charity organization have records, right? Don’t you reporters check it?”
If not for these noble ladies mentioning it, even Gong Jue would have forgotten that he had done such a “charity” thing that day.
