Chapter 31: Caution

The early morning of the imperial capital witnessed endless streams of people and vehicles. It seemed they never cared for a stop.

A delicate car zoomed through the traffic as easily as the wind. Some drivers stuck out their heads with seeming abuses.

Si Wan cared for nothing at the moment.

She had never expected the paparazzi would sneak photos of her. What was more, the photos were shot from a misleading angle.

If Gong Siming knew this, he would be pissed off. Although they were about to divorce, she wouldn’t like this kind of withdrawal from his life.

The couple already had enough misunderstandings, and she couldn’t afford to bear such a big bug.

She needed to suppress the public opinion as soon as possible before it explodes.

She scudded her way to Gong’s Group, ignored others’ gesticulating and directly rushed to Yan Xiuya’s office. This woman should be the first person she made clear of the incident.

“Director Si, the chairman requires your presence at the Seniors’ Conference Room,” said Yan Xiuya’s secretary as soon as Si Wan showed up.

Without further ado, she turned around towards the Seniors’ Conference Room.

This was the first time she had entered that room where Yan Xiuya was solemnly supervising the work.

This place was more like the headquarter of senior agents in movies than a conference room. On a giant screen various data was flashing rapidly, and people were so concerted on their work that they hardly noticed the incomer.

Yan Xiuya saw incoming Si Wan with a hint of anger in her eyes. Pointing at a transparent room in the corner, she indicated Si Wan to wait for her inside.

Si Wan followed her instruction without hesitation.

Less than three minutes later, Yan Xiuya walked in with a fit of wild anger.

“What on earth is going on? I’m asking you to work rather than seeking privileges. The last incident is not solved yet and now this? How do you want me to explain to the board!”

Si Wan made no explanation to Yan Xiuya’s complaints.

“Don’t you know what you stand for? You are not divorced yet and still the young mistress of our family. Everything you do or speak represents Gong’s Group!”

As she spoke, she became more and more agitated. Yan Xiuya seldom showed such rage.

Then suddenly, Yan Xiuya’s tone softened.

“Si Wan, although Siming failed you and I admit your suffering, he has changed, and you, of everyone should know that, how could you…”

Rubbing her temples in dismay, Yan Xiuya sounded disappointed at Si Wan’s corruption.

“I’ve always appreciated your competence. I was impressed by your courage at the board meeting last time, but why are you so careless now!”

She had never thought Yan Xiuya should favor her this much. For a moment, Si Wan was close to tears.

“Mother, it’s indeed Feng Qi and me, but it’s not like what others think. The president of the Central Hospital, along with those doctors and nurses are witnesses!”

In full details, she told Yan Xiuya what had happened yesterday.

The story was wildly beyond her expectations. She had believed Si Wan’s courage and shrewdness were more than equal to the task of entertaining Feng Qi.

She had never expected Fengqi would harass Si Wan, which was her negligence. After all, Si Wan was a gorgeous beauty easily loved by the opposite sex.

“Don’t worry too much. Our emergency team has blocked all of the relevant content while our PR team has reached a consensus with major media outlets. We’ll used other events to cover it up.”

In the middle of her speech, Yan Xiuya seemed embarassed.

“It’s just you should explain this to Siming in person. We seniors shouldn’t meddle in affairs of the young.”

Hearing this, Si Wan felt a bit of bitterness in her heart. Why would he care? He would only be enraged and insult me.

“Rest assured, mother, I’ll explain to him.”

Noticing the dismay in Si Wan’s eyes, Yan Xiuya could do nothing but shook her head. The two children were both slow in thoughts. Though they cared for each other, they behaved quite indifferent.

She only wished this incident wouldn’t affect their relationship which just improved before this scandle.

Perhaps, this was a test for both of them!

Suddenly the door was pushed open, from which stuck out half of a delicate and decisive woman.

“Chairman, something went wrong with Feng Qi.”

They rose to their feet and walked quickly to the conference hall.

The image of Feng Qi appeared on the huge screen.

“Thank you for participating in my press conference. I’ll make a detailed explanation about the photo.”

On his innocent face, even the slightest expression was enthralling and fascinating.

“Feng Qi, what’s the relationship between the woman in the photo and you?” A female reporter took the lead to ask.

A smile touched his lips. Not bad, the first question happened to be what I desired.

“I like your question! The woman in the photo…”

He paused banteringly, making all the people present and before the screen held their breath.

“Of course she is my girlfriend!”

This piece of news was sensational. All the reporters swarmed forward madly for the identity of the woman.

Overseas and before the computer screen, Gong Siming pounded the desk at full tilt.

With bare hands, he smashed the marble desk.

“Bastard! Huaer, get my private jet immediately, I’m going home!”

“Si Wan, how dare you!”

Every word he spoke seemed to be ejected by his extreme anger. Murderous intent glittered in his eyes, which made him look even moresullen.

People in the conference room of Gong’s Group couldn’t help but gasp in awe. This man, Feng Qi, was indeed bold.

From the chaotic scene, someone let out a scream.

“Mr. Feng Qi, do you know the woman in the photo is the young mistress of Gong’s Group? Does it mean you chose to cooperate with Gong’s Group for her sake?”

Not only people on the spot went quiet, Feng Qi also widened his eyes with surprise!

The worst part came eventually.

“Mother, please allow me to go there, I promise I’ll solve this matter properly.”

Now this situation had disturbed Yan Xiuya to a freat extent. Feng Qi was too abrupt. He held a press conference without communicating with the company beforhand!

What was more, Si Wan’s identity was revealed so quickly. Apparently, someone was behind this. Could it be a scheme?

It appeared someone intended to oppose the Gongs, and Si Wan was his breach.

Receiving no response from Yan Xiuya, Si Wan thought the woman didn’t believe her.

“Mother, trust me, I can handle it!”

At the sight of this resolute and persistent Si Wan, Yan Xiuya nodded in consent.

“Si Wan, don’t forget your identity!”

Smiling confidently, she responded to Yan Xiuya without the slightest trace of fear in her eyes.

“I won’t.”
