Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One
Chapter 177 - 87: Scandal Exposed (Part 2)
Could it be that her biological father found out she married into the Chu Family and deliberately came to make trouble?
The thought that her biological father might be a shameless liar made You Mingyue feel sick.
Seeing all of You Mingyue’s reactions, realizing she genuinely didn’t know about her biological father’s news, he finally believed she was innocent.
"Mingyue, there’s something I need to tell you." Chu Zimu’s mind was in chaos at this moment, unwilling to believe that what Xu Xingguang said was true.
You Mingyue nodded with a serious expression, "Go ahead."
She felt a sense of unease, an intuition that things were about to spiral out of control, beyond her grasp.
Chu Zimu said, "Your father is Xu Zeqing."
You Mingyue was stunned, "Uncle Xu?"
She couldn’t grasp the meaning of Chu Zimu’s words and instinctively said, "Uncle Xu and my mom got their marriage certificate a long time ago, and our household registration moved to the Xu Family. Uncle Xu appeared in our lives relatively late, but he has been quite good to us siblings. In our hearts, he indeed exists like a father."
This was something everyone already knew. Why was Chu Zimu bringing it up? "Is there a problem with this?"
Seeing that You Mingyue didn’t understand what he meant, Chu Zimu frowned and told her directly, "I mean, Xu Zeqing is your biological father."
These words were like a bomb dropped into a pond at the doorstep, scaring You Mingyue, leaving her pale with fright.
"Impossible?" You Mingyue’s rosy face instantly turned ashen.
She plopped down onto the bed, her head buzzing.
She understood what Chu Zimu meant, but subconsciously resisted believing this was true. "Brother Chu, don’t joke with me, this isn’t funny at all."
She hoped this was just a ridiculous joke by Chu Zimu.
"I’m not joking," Chu Zimu said with a somber gaze, "Just half an hour ago, Xu Xingguang did a live broadcast, explaining in detail why she severed her father-daughter relationship with Xu Zeqing."
"Now I understand why Xu Xingguang hates Xu Zeqing so much, why she doesn’t want to see you all. Anyone in such a situation could not remain indifferent."
Thinking about how the entire nation was now talking about this scandal, and his newlywed wife was one of the protagonists, Chu Zimu was filled with anger and a sense of helplessness.
Chu Zimu suddenly said, "Tonight’s family banquet has been canceled at the last minute, so you don’t need to prepare for it anymore."
Why was it canceled?
Because of the scandal involving the Xu Family, Chairman Chu and Mrs. Chu felt ashamed and refused to hold the family banquet.
They didn’t mind that You Mingyue came from a single-parent family, but they cared that You Mingyue’s mother knowingly became the other woman, ruining Xu Zeqing and Mo Yinshu’s marriage, and shamelessly married Xu Zeqing and moved into the Xu Family!
They had just held a grand and luxurious wedding in the morning to bring You Mingyue into the household. Her family’s scandal broke out before the new marital bed was even warm.
The entire Chu Family felt humiliated!
Realizing the family banquet was canceled, You Mingyue became aware of the gravity of the matter and didn’t dare to speak for a moment.
Chu Zimu picked up the phone You Mingyue had left on the dressing table and tossed it to her lap with some irritation, saying tiredly, "Look at the live broadcast online yourself. Once you’ve watched it, you’ll understand the whole story."
You Mingyue picked up the phone, but it felt like she was holding a hot potato.
Seeing that You Mingyue didn’t even have the courage to unlock the phone and face the truth, Chu Zimu felt a sudden surge of anger. "Watch it first; I have other matters to deal with."
Today was supposed to be the most important and happiest day of Chu Zimu’s life.
But the scandal involving Xu Zeqing and You Jingqiu had been exposed, turning his wedding day into a nightmare.
This scandal had already affected the reputation of the Chu Family and indirectly impacted Yuyi International’s reputation.
Just a few minutes ago, the board members of Yuyi International were on the phone questioning Chu Zimu about how he planned to salvage Yuyi International’s reputation and protect the company’s interests.
Seeing Chu Zimu looking agitated and dark-eyed, You Mingyue didn’t even dare to breathe loudly. "You go ahead."
Chu Zimu left without looking back.
After he left, You Mingyue, with trembling fingers, unlocked her phone and opened Weibo.
She didn’t need to specifically search; the topic #Yuyi International’s Young Madam is an Illegitimate Child# had climbed to the top of society, entertainment, and financial sections under the hype from rival companies and interested individuals.
