The scandal spread very quickly, soon reaching the Xie family's old residence.

When Jiang Suyun saw the news reports everywhere, she was stunned and stood there frozen in place.

How could it be—Qingyi?

Madam Xie was right next to her and also saw those indecent photos. She shook her head and said, "I told you long ago that this Miss Lin is no good. But you insisted on giving her to Lan Yuan."

"Now look what's happened. Such a huge scandal has ruined the Lin family's reputation, and our Xie family has been affected to some extent as well."

It's constantly trending on social media.

Many people are trying to mislead the public about the issue.

After all, everyone knows that the Xie family and the Lin family intend to form a marriage alliance, and they have long regarded Xie Lanyuan and Lin Qingyi as betrothed.

Now that Lin Qingyi has done something like this, Jie Lanyuan is also in trouble.

Because Madam Xie doted on her grandson, she couldn't help but say a few words to Jiang Suyun.

Jiang Suyun never expected that Lin Qingyi, who was always gentle and virtuous, would do such a thing. She was filled with disappointment, but stubbornly refused to admit that she had misjudged her.

"There might be a misunderstanding. Qingyi shouldn't be that kind of person."

Madam Xie snorted coldly, "It's all in the news! She was caught red-handed in public, and you're still defending her? How foolish!"

"In my opinion, Xuxu and Lanyuan are a better match. This girl is skilled in medicine and has a likable temperament. She can definitely help Lanyuan in his career."

Jiang Suyun became even angrier at the mention of Bai Xuxu, saying, "No matter how good she is, she's still Shen Mingzhou's wife."

Madam Xie couldn't hold back any longer and decided to be frank, "To tell you the truth, Xuxu and Shen Mingzhou have no marital relationship. It was the Shen family who tricked Xuxu into marriage and hurt her."

"What did you say?" Jiang Suyun asked incredulously.

Since things had come to this point, Madam Xie thought that as long as Lan Yuan's plan wasn't exposed, there wouldn't be much of a problem in revealing the truth.

She also explained the whole story clearly.

After hearing the end, Jiang Suyun's heart remained unsettled for a long time.

Madam Xie continued, "It's all because the Shen family is inhumane. They deceived Xuxu for five whole years. Now that Xuxu has severed ties with the Shen family, what's wrong with her being with Lanyuan?"

"Besides, Lan Yuan and Xu Xu grew up together and have a long-standing relationship. After all these years, their feelings for each other have never changed. This is a destined fate."

"If Shen Mingzhou hadn't taken advantage of the situation back then, the two of them would probably have a child by now."

child……

Jiang Suyun's face drained of color, turning deathly pale in an instant.

While Madam Xie was still talking, she didn't hear a word she said. She made an excuse and said, "I'm a little tired. I'll go upstairs to rest first. You should go to sleep early too."

"Suyun, I know you won't listen, but there are some things I have to say." Before Jiang Suyun went upstairs, Madam Xie said again, "I know you value social standing and think Xuxu is not good enough for Lanyuan."

"Yes, she has no family to rely on, and her family's financial situation is indeed not as good as our Xie family, but she is outstanding enough to be a perfect match for Lan Yuan."

"Don't always look at people with prejudice and divide them into different classes. The happiness of our children and grandchildren is our greatest happiness. Don't be so fixated on these necessities."

Jiang Suyun stopped at the top of the stairs, feeling as if a huge rock was stuck in her chest, and even her breathing became tight.

After a long pause, she finally spoke, "I will think carefully about what you said."

After saying that, she went upstairs with unsteady steps.

Once inside the room, he immediately closed the door, sat on the edge of the bed, and gasped for breath, clutching his chest.

How could this happen?

Bai Xuxu and Shen Mingzhou actually had a fake marriage certificate!

No wonder he dared to be so brazenly entangled with Lan Yuan!

The most troublesome thing right now is that she also secretly sabotaged things that night when Bai Xuxu and Shen Mingzhou were together.

If Lan Yuan finds out that she was the one who broke them up, causing Bai Xuxu to suffer for five years, given Lan Yuan's temper, he will definitely not let it go.

They might even disown her as their mother!

The more Jiang Suyun thought about it, the more uneasy she felt.

She finally found her son.

We absolutely cannot let this incident ruin their mother-son relationship.

So no matter what, this secret must remain a secret.

As long as she doesn't tell, no one will ever know.

……

On the rooftop, Bai Xuxu sat leaning against the ground, panting heavily.

The medicine was too potent; cold water couldn't dispel the heat on her body at all. Constantly rinsing herself wasn't a solution, so she could only run upstairs to let the air cool her body and relieve the surging heat within her.

Fortunately, after such a long rest, the burning sensation in her body had dissipated considerably, and she felt much more energetic.

Thinking that she had been out for too long, Lin Huan and Xie Lanyuan must be worried because they couldn't find her.

Bai Xuxu stood up, preparing to leave, when suddenly footsteps came from the entrance.

Someone's coming!

She frowned deeply.

The event downstairs isn't over yet, is it? Who would come up at this hour?

The rooftop offered no view, leaving Bai Xuxu nowhere to hide. She could only stand there, her eyes fixed on the entrance.

Soon, a tall, slender figure emerged from the darkness.

Tonight, the moonlight is bright and clear.

It's like being covered by a light veil.

As the other person drew closer, Bai Xuxu could clearly see their face.

"Xiao An?"

She was taken aback.

Zhou Li'an also saw her, equally incredulous, "Senior, what are you doing here?"

Bai Xuxu breathed a sigh of relief. "It's too stuffy downstairs, so I came up for some fresh air."

"Where did you get here? I haven't seen you around for a while."

Zhou Li'an walked to her side, leaned against the railing like her, and smiled gently, "You've been here for a long time."

"I just heard that you were here too, and I was going to come and find you. But I ran into some friends and we were chatting. We had a few drinks and I was a bit hot, so I came up to get some fresh air. I didn't expect to run into you like this."

The two were close together, and Bai Xuxu could indeed smell a faint scent of alcohol on him.

Although I haven't been in much contact with Zhou Li'an lately, there has been a lot of news about him. Since starting his own business, his company has developed rapidly and has attracted much attention in the industry.

She didn't misjudge him.

Zhou Li'an is indeed a rare genius in the scientific research community.

It was really unfair to keep him at Ming'an Group back then.

"Yes, what a coincidence."

I don't know if it was because of the male hormones, or what, but the restlessness that had just been calmed down reignited.

Bai Xuxu knew she couldn't stay any longer, so she made up an excuse, "I have something to do and have to go now. Let's talk again another day."

As she said this, she turned to leave.

However, due to the body's reaction, he lost his strength, and suddenly his legs went weak, causing him to stagger back two steps.

Zhou Li'an quickly caught her, asking worriedly, "Senior, what's wrong?"

"fine."

Bai Xuxu pushed him away, her voice suddenly becoming hoarse.
