Chapter 426: Loss of Reputation (1)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Yue Lingsi did not know what happened. It was late at night when she just disembarked from the plane.
She had been working hard for Yueying in the past few days, so she was exhausted.
She got the driver to send her to Hospital T as she got into the car because she had something for Deng Wenwen to review. Although Xi Xinyi and her were in charge of Yueying now, they still needed to report back to Deng Wenwen. Otherwise, they would be in for a harsh scolding if there were any mistakes.
Yue Lingsi was quite dismayed by it. While Deng Wenwen said she was handing the business over, she would not allow them to make many decisions. Yueying was still Deng Wenwen’s turf now, so Yue Lingsi probably would not even have the right to speak if she was not from the Yue family!
This stubborn old lady had been suppressing her since forever. Although she treated her quite decently, Yue Lingsi was not comfortable being ordered around by her every day, especially when Xi Xinyi still had to report back to her every night even though she declared that she was handing Yueying over to Xi Xinyi. From her perspective, the two of them had become Deng Wenwen’s puppets!
Unbeknownst to Yue Lingsi, a powerful storm was brewing right inside Deng Wenwen’s room in Hospital T!
Deng Wenwen was sitting on her bed with a tablet in her hand. Her face was strained and she could not believe what she was seeing. Her eyes widened as her hands trembled.
Her assistant beside her was feeling afraid, and even uneasy.
“What should we do now, CEO Deng? This has evolved into quite big news. I can’t reach Mrs. Yue and Miss Xinyi isn’t picking up my calls as well. All the stakeholders are panicking. If this goes on, then Yueying will really be done for!”
The assistant looked at Deng Wenwen anxiously.
She was here to deliver the news to Deng Wenwen. The news had spread lightning fast after it was released on Weibo, and it was too late to stop it. Several directors close to Yue Lingsi had called her office number, but she was abroad. Upon realizing the severity of the situation, the assistant rushed over to find Deng Wenwen, hoping to find a solution and stop it. Otherwise, things would totally spiral out of control!
No doubt this was another huge blow to worsen Yueying’s current situation. With the departure of Yueying’s second-largest stakeholder and half of the higher management staff leaving together, it was already nearly lethal for them. Now, with Yue Lingsi’s scandal…
Deng Wenwen stared at the news on the screen and her eyes turned blank as she continued reading further down whilst her whole body trembled uncontrollably.
Thud!
The tablet fell out of her trembling hands and crashed onto the floor.
“Impossible… Impossible… This is impossible! Not possible! Impossible!” Deng Wenwen mumbled to herself. She seemed out of it as she could not believe what she just read. She gaped at the assistant blankly and went on muttering.
“This is impossible. She worked by my side closely for many years. How could she do something like that? Impossible! Impossible! Investigate quickly who used these to defame Lingsi and is trying to strike a final blow at Yueying? I don’t believe it. Lingsi would never do this! Never!”
Deng Wenwen trusted Yue Lingsi a lot, so she could not accept it.
“CEO Deng, are you alright?” The assistant bent over to pick the tablet up as she looked at Deng Wenwen with concern.
“I’m alright! Go investigate who is trying to defame her! What about the Yue family? What did they say? I should call them right now. Quick, give me the phone! The phone!” Deng Wenwen grabbed her blanket tightly and struggled to sit up as she frantically searched the bedside table.
The assistant went up and handed the phone to her.
Deng Wenwen’s hands were quivering slightly as she was a little short of breath. She anxiously looked through her contact list and then gave a call to the Yue family.
After just several beeps, the call was ended!
In shock, Deng Wenwen called again and got the same result!
No one was picking up!
Deng Wenwen could feel that something was not right. Feeling suffocated, she pressed her chest when she found it hard to breathe. She calmed herself down after a while and continued calling the Yue family, but no one picked up again…
Her eyes darkened as the uneasiness inside her grew stronger by the second.
Could Yue Lingsi really have done all these behind her back?
Deng Wenwen then remembered how Xi Mushan forced Yue Lingsi to divorce with him. Maybe…
She then forced herself to calm down.
“CEO Deng, is no one picking up?” asked the assistant carefully when she saw Deng Wenwen’s expression cloud over. She was freaking out as well. She was worried and afraid to see Deng Wenwen like this!
“What exactly happened?” Deng Wenwen’s face changed as she grabbed the tablet back from the assistant. She stared blankly at the indecent photos on the screen.
While the photos were dark, it was clearly Yue Lingsi’s face. The man she was with had sunglasses on, but at first glance at his stature, Deng Wenwen recognized it was Arthur, the artiste they were cultivating right now. Back then, Yue Lingsi was the one who had recommended him!
After staring at it for a while, Deng Wenwen suppressed her emotions and tried her best to keep calm. She demanded, “Where’s Arthur? Where is he now?”
“CEO Deng, we’ve contacted Arthur, but his phone is switched off. Even his manager doesn’t know where is he right now. We can’t find him at all! Maybe CEO Yue might know where he is,” the assistant replied with a frown.
