Chapter 770: Chapter 771: Renewing Old Friendship
Lin Yuanyuan’s fingers tightly gripped the steering wheel.
What on earth was going on, could the two of them have reconciled?
After thinking about it again and again, Lin Yuanyuan still couldn’t believe it.
If they had really reconciled, the media couldn’t have possibly remained silent.
Moreover, Gu Qichen’s fiancée was Xi Zijun, who were almost engaged if not for that little actress who maliciously sabotaged their relationship.
Xi Zijun is the General Manager of the Jiang Group.
Her family background and abilities are undoubtedly many times superior to Xia Yangyang’s.
After much contemplation, Lin Yuanyuan still felt that the possibility of a reconciliation between the two was quite slim.
The position of Mrs. Gu is still defaulted to Xi Zijun as of now.
Perhaps seeing his ex-wife from four years ago, who still remains as stunning as before, was simply a passing novelty for him.
Considering that Xia Yangyang had previously exposed the Gu Family’s scandal, even if she regretted it now and wanted to climb up the ranks, it would still be impossible to cross the obstacle that is the Gu Family, right?
Although she thought this way, the fact that just moments ago they had left together…
…filled Lin Yuanyuan with rage.
She couldn’t believe that four years later, she might still end up losing to Xia Yangyang.
The next day, as soon as Xia Yangyang arrived at work.
Everyone seemed to look at her a bit differently.
Xia Yangyang found this unusual and wondered what had happened.
While fetching water, she decided to ask Zhu Xiaorong what was going on.
Zhu Xiaorong hesitated before saying, “There’s a rumor going around the company that you and President Gu are having an affair. Yangyang, I must advise you, President Gu may be young and successful, but he’s a playboy with a chaotic personal life. He’s surrounded by celebrities and socialites, this is a game that we, ordinary people, can’t play.”
Zhu Xiaorong spoke sincerely.
Xia Yangyang chuckled, “Why are there such rumors circulating within the company?”
Zhu Xiaorong hesitated for a moment but finally whispered into Xia Yangyang’s ear, “Director Lin started it, she told everyone that she had seen you get into President Gu’s car last night.”
Zhu Xiaorong wore a complicated expression as she asked, “Is it true, Yangyang?”
Xia Yangyang smiled nonchalantly, “Of course it’s true.”
Zhu Xiaorong was taken aback, completely astonished by Xia Yangyang’s straightforward admission.
Xia Yangyang explained, “Last night President Gu’s driver came to pick him up after work, and being a perfect gentleman, he simply gave me a ride home. There shouldn’t be a problem with that, should there?”
Hearing this, Zhu Xiaorong scratched her head, “I guess that’s fine.”
Xia Yangyang continued, “President Gu had a few requests for the promotional video, and we discussed it for about forty minutes before we left. Didn’t Director Lin leave with the rest of you early? How could she have seen me getting into President Gu’s car? Could she have been waiting outside for forty minutes?”
Deliberately stirring the pot, Xia Yangyang asked, “Why do you think Director Lin waited outside for so long? Could she have been waiting for President Gu?”
This immediately piqued Zhu Xiaorong’s interest and her expression changed.
The more rumors circulated around the office…
…the more casual Xia Yangyang acted.
By the end of the day, everyone knew that President Gu merely gave her a ride home out of gentlemanly courtesy.
However, the rumors regarding Lin Yuanyuan and Gu Qichen’s scandal instantly spread like wildfire.
Some said that Lin Yuanyuan had been nursing an unrequited love for him four years ago and was even personally fired by Gu Qichen and driven out of Shengyuan.
Others claimed that Director Lin was waiting for President Gu outside last night, which was suggestive of her intentions.
Most believed that Director Lin was simply jealous that Xia Yangyang was given the project and thus intentionally decided to spread rumors to ruin her reputation.
After all, Lin Yuanyuan had a terrible reputation in the company.
Everyone had witnessed how she had unfairly targeted Xia Yangyang before.
