Sweetie, don't look at him, kiss me.

"gentlemen."

Bai Cheng's voice pulled Ji Linzhou back to reality.

The man frowned, glanced up in the direction of Bai Cheng, and said, "Excuse me, you go ahead."

Bai Cheng paused, then glanced at him cautiously: "Are you... worried about your wife?"

Ji Linzhou rarely lost focus or was absent-minded like this before.

But recently, he has been exhibiting this behavior not only frequently in front of him, but also in front of Fang Shiyang.

Fang Shiyang had even secretly asked him if the president had recently fallen in love.

"no."

The man sitting in the boss's chair frowned, his expression turning serious: "Continue."

Bai Cheng paused for a moment, then continued, "Fang Shiyang said that Miss Bu Shuipo is available to meet with you anytime. You happen to have time this afternoon, would you like to arrange your meeting with her?"

Ji Linzhou raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose, thinking of the designer whose design drafts were very inspired: "Okay."

He needed to confirm some things about her design drafts.

Having received the reply, Bai Cheng carefully wrote a few lines in his notebook: "Then I'll make the arrangements."

Following my usual routine, once I've made these arrangements, it's time to head out of Baicheng.

But today, he has lingered and not left.

Seeing that he hesitated, Ji Linzhou frowned: "Is there anything else?"

"News online..."

Bai Cheng paused for a moment, then lowered his voice: "Aren't you going to do anything about it?"

"The lady... was scolded quite badly."

Even a seasoned man like him found the vicious language from Su Tingwan's fans excessive.

It's hard to imagine how heartbroken and upset a well-behaved and sensible girl like my wife would be if she saw this.

Ji Linzhou rarely pays attention to online news.

He only found out about these gossips this morning after Fu Siwen sent them to him.

Hearing Bai Cheng say that, he clicked on the news link that Fu Siwen had sent him.

As he looked at those vicious words, the man's brows furrowed more and more.

After a long silence, he put down his phone, his voice cold and hard: "Make arrangements to record those accounts that posted inflammatory remarks, preserve the evidence, and then contact the platform to delete them."

"it is good."

Bai Cheng nodded, about to leave, but then, as if remembering something, turned to look at Ji Linzhou: "Then... delete the overly extreme ones... what about the others?"

Aside from those extremely malicious remarks, what about the media that reported on it, or those whose words weren't too extreme but still slandered the wife's character...?

Ji Linzhou opened the chat window with Lin Qingmian again.

It was completely quiet; not a single message was sent.

"Prepare to delete and block the rest, and wait for my instructions."

He will handle it for her whenever she contacts him.

He wanted to see how long she could hold out.

At noon, the bell rang precisely when get out of class ended.

Lin Qingmian went to the cafeteria with Yao Yingyu and ate the second half-price serving of Crossing-the-Bridge Rice Noodles that Yao Yingyu had been longing for.

After picking up her food, Lin Qingmian drank her soup while turning on her phone.

Countless messages flooded in.

Lin Qingmian's phone was so vibrated it went numb before the messages finally stopped.

She frowned and clicked to check.

The information is mixed and confusing.

Lin Qingqing sent her more than a dozen messages, saying that she had recognized the person whose face was blurred in the news as her, and warned her not to get close to Ji Linzhou again, so as not to drag the Lin family down.

Jiang Yao sent her a few messages, trying to comfort her: [Netizens are saying that Su Tingwan's mysterious fiancé is actually your husband, Ji Linzhou… Mianmian, are you aware of this?]

Ji Xingqing also sent a message: 【Mianmian! It's my fault, I shouldn't have left last night! Did I hurt you?!】

……

Lin Qingmian ignored Lin Qingqing's messages and replied to Jiang Yao and Ji Xingqing one by one.

Finally, she saw the messages Fang Shiyang had sent, asking her to meet with the investors of Morning and Evening Line at the Century Building that afternoon.

Century Tower...

Lin Qingmian frowned.

This is the Ji family's territory.

The Ji Group is located inside this building.

When she and Ji Xingye were in a good relationship, he even took her to visit the Century Building.

She was quite young at the time, and it was her first time visiting such a technologically advanced place. She found everything amazing and interesting.

Seeing the joy in her eyes, Ji Xingye smiled and patted his chest, saying to her, "This building was built by my family, and most of the companies inside belong to the Ji family. I will be working here in the future."

"After we get married, I'll arrange for you to work here too. We can then spend every day in this beautiful place, having our romance. How about that?"

Lin Qingmian blushed and turned her face away, looking into the distance, not daring to look at him.

As soon as I turned my head, I saw Ji Linzhou.

Surrounded by several secretaries, he strode towards the elevator, talking to them as he did so.

Among a group of men all dressed in black suits, even without revealing his identity, his powerful and cold aura still made it clear to everyone that he was someone of high status and position.

That was the second time Lin Qingmian had seen Ji Linzhou.

Unlike his cold indifference when he first met him in the dimly lit pavilion, Ji Linzhou, dressed in a suit, appeared at work with a decisive, cold, and serious demeanor, exuding an aura of authority and ruthlessness that made people afraid to look him in the eye.

"Isn't my uncle handsome?"

Seeing her staring in Ji Linzhou's direction, Ji Xingye smiled and put his hand on her shoulder, his eyes full of envy and admiration as he looked at the man: "In the entire Ji family, the person I admire and fear the most is my uncle."

"He is a very resilient and capable person. I think all women would be captivated by him."

"If he weren't my uncle, I'm afraid you'd fall for him."

She nudged him with her elbow: "What nonsense are you talking about? I wouldn't do that."

As those memories flooded back, Lin Qingmian lowered her gaze.

The man who promised to marry her and take her to work and date in the Century Tower cruelly abandoned her.

But she married the very person she had so vehemently declared she would never like...

Bringing herself back to reality, she raised her hand to reply to Fang Shiyang: 【I'll be there on time.】

"This mistress even resorted to reporting me."

Just then, Yao Yingyu's voice rang in my ears.

Lin Qingmian snapped out of her daze: "What?"

"I'm talking about that mistress who ruined Tingwan's relationship with her fiancé."

Yao Yingyu took out her phone and waved the screen in front of Lin Qingmian: "Those comments that were particularly harsh in their criticism of the mistress have been deleted, and some accounts have even been banned..."

"This mistress probably hasn't rested all morning; she's been searching for people online who are badmouthing her and reporting them one by one."

Lin Qingmian paused for a moment, then looked away: "Perhaps I was too harsh in my criticism, and someone couldn't stand it anymore."

Despite being the "other woman" in the news, she spent the entire morning attending class obediently.

These messages were probably reported by kind-hearted people?
