“Someone took photos of you fetching Xuxu from school yesterday and put them online, it’s amazing!”
She overheard some parents gossiping in the background and found out this unexpected complication.
“Yeah, I only found out this morning too.”
It felt great to be mistaken as the boy’s father.
“Please arrange for the photos online to be removed. It’s not good for your image, right?” His reputation was closely tied to Thunderbolt Corp’s, after all.
Their marriage had never been made public, so the rumours were mostly about him having an illegitimate son. Soon, the identity of the mother would be made public too.
People were taking photos of her when she walked Xuxu to class just now.
Once the photos made it online, the media would remind everyone that she was his sister in name. People would be horrified by their scandalous relationship.
“Turn back!” Lu Zhaoyang spoke up abruptly. “I think the reporters will make a move today. Let’s get Xuxu, I don’t want him to be surrounded by reporters after school.”
“Alright.”
Huo Yunting made a U-turn and drove back to the cram school.
If Xuxu was really his son, he would not mind the gossip. Lu Zhaoyang was only his sister in name. No one would dare to speak up should he made his wishes clear.
Nevertheless, the woman in question was a worrywort.
After they picked up Huo Xu, Lu Zhaoyang sat at the backseat with her son.
“Yangyang, why am I not going to school today? Am I graduating already?” The boy was confused and looked utterly adorable.
“Not just yet.”
She stroked his hair and smiled, but could not stop worrying.
There could be reporters at Thunderbolt Corp’s office at that very moment. She had not anticipated the repercussions of having Huo Yunting pick up her son.
As they got nearer to the office, she spotted the reporters. The reporters noticed their approaching car too and immediately bolted toward them.
Security guards appeared thanks to Huo Yunting’s advanced notice. They stopped the reporters from advancing and cleared a path for the car to drive past them.
Huo Yunting ignored the reporters.
“Yangyang, why are there so many reporters? Who are they interviewing?”
The boy watched the many lively men and women curiously and asked.
“They are interviewing Uncle Yunting. He’s the company’s Big Boss.” Lu Zhaoyang replied with the first thing she could come up with.
Once they parked at a safe location, she led Xuxu out of the car and hoped the reporters would be gone sooner rather than later.
“I’ll take care of them.” Huo Yunting offered abruptly when they were stepping into the elevator.
“Thank you.”
“There is no need for thanks. Besides, I was the one who caused this.”
The issue at hand reminded Huo Yunting again of how odd things were. Huo Xu was Huo Chen’s son, so why was she accepting Huo Chen’s marriage so calmly?
Lin Yazhi saw Lu Zhaoyang entering the office and immediately rushed to her, but she slowed herself down when she noticed her son.
“Sis, we need to talk!”
She dragged Lu Zhaoyang out of the office to an empty corridor.
“I saw everything online. Haven’t you told the president the truth about Xuxu?” Lin Yazhi said in a fluster. “Why aren’t you panicking?”
“Let’s talk about this later.”
The truth was, she was uncertain what to say to him. She had not decided if she would be returning overseas or staying here.
