Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon's Reluctant Love-Chapter 178 - 177: Mrs. Gu, Don’t Think About Running Away Again!
Chapter 178: Chapter 177: Mrs. Gu, Don’t Think About Running Away Again!
Gu Corporation’s official Weibo account posted a video, editing out a segment of Henry’s speech in the meeting room.
Henry shared the post and added a comment, “Ming Yao is the most talented design student I’ve ever seen, saying that she plagiarised is utterly ridiculous. Gu Corporation has a great eye for choosing partners, and given the opportunity, I’d also like to collaborate with student Ming Yao!”
Henry is a top designer in the design circle. If he says that Ming Yao didn’t plagiarise Starburst, then she definitely did not.
After seeing the Weibo posts from Gu Corporation and Henry, alumni on the school forum immediately started cursing Ming Wan in their groups.
[Oh my god, it turns out that the post accusing Ming Yao of plagiarism was made by Ming Wan, yet she still pretends to have this good little sister image—she’s such a White Lotus!]
[Ming Wan’s acting skills are dead poor, but she performed so well in the affair concerning Ming Yao!]
...
[Exposing the person behind the original post is simply fantastic, Ming Wan’s face must be swollen from the slaps!]
[Lacking the talent to win the championship, she actually did something so vicious behind someone’s back. Having such a sister, Ming Yao must be really unlucky!]
[If Ming Wan’s plan to frame Ming Yao for plagiarism succeeded, Ming Yao’s reputation would be ruined in an instant—upon careful thought, it’s terrifying, Ming Wan really has a malicious heart!]
Looking at the defamation and verbal abuse in the posts about her, Ming Wan’s face turned as white as paper.
A wave of panic and chaos surged from the depths of her heart.
The person who exposed the original post under real-name system, it must be Ming Yao, right?
She seduced Henry, had him speak for her, and now she has found a hacker, hasn’t she?
Seeing the verbal abuse from the alumni, that despicable Ming Yao must be feeling very smug, right?
Ming Wan’s face turned a mix of green and purple, feeling humiliation, rage, and resentment inside.
She took out her phone and made a call to a hacker fan who admired her.
Before long, the post she made in the forum disappeared.
But the alumni kept posting insults against her, and Ming Wan fought almost all night to get rid of posts that cursed her in the forum.
Although the school forum’s posts were cleaned up, because Gu Corporation’s official account and Henry had posted on Weibo and hackers couldn’t invade their accounts, fortunately, this matter wasn’t of an entertaining nature, so it didn’t attract much attention.
Ming Wan went to Xiao Corporation in the afternoon.
When she found Xiao Yichen, her eyes were red, and her delicate face carried paleness and exhaustion.
“Brother Yichen,” Ming Wan’s voice choked, tears brimming in her eyes.
Seeing Ming Wan like this, Xiao Yichen asked with concern, “Wanwan, what’s wrong?”
Ming Wan pulled out a stack of photos, showing Ming Yao and Henry smiling and talking as they entered and exited a restaurant.
“My sister, I don’t know by what means she got Henry to speak for her…” She then took out design sketches by Ming Yao and those by Starburst, “Look, many details, my sister just plagiarized from Starburst.”
“But Henry spoke for her, saying my sister didn’t plagiarise. Brother Yichen, I’m a design student; I loathe plagiarism most in my life, but my sister, she…”
Xiao Yichen glanced at the comparison of the designs and then at the photos of Ming Yao and Henry talking and laughing. His brows furrowed tightly.
Anyone who understands design can tell that Ming Yao’s designs indeed have elements of Starburst’s style.
Yet Henry deliberately turned a blind eye.
What does that imply?
It suggests Henry was bewitched by Ming Yao.
And what could Ming Yao use to bewitch Henry? Naturally, her young body!
A fierce look appeared in Xiao Yichen’s eyes, “Your sister really has become someone I can’t recognize anymore.”
Ming Wan wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, “Sister is now toying with both Fourth Master and Henry, plus she had a hacker expose me, letting the alumni curse me. Brother Yichen, I really just want my sister to renounce her evil ways and return to the right path!”
Seeing Ming Wan with tears streaming down her face, Xiao Yichen wrapped her in his arms.
“I know you have a kind heart, but Ming Yao is beyond saving. One day, she will pay for her despicable actions.”
Ming Wan wrapped her arms around Xiao Yichen’s waist and took the initiative to kiss his thin lips, “Brother Yichen, thank you for believing in me.”
Ming Wan’s forwardness made Xiao Yichen’s Adam’s apple bob.
Thinking back to the previous night, when Ming Wan took the initiative to—
Xiao Yichen extended his long arm and swept Ming Wan off her feet into the lounge.
New novel chapt𝒆rs are published on ƒгeewebnovёl.com.
Half an hour later, Xiao Yichen held Ming Wan against his chest.
“Wanwan, the perfume advertisement you endorsed for our company is ready to be launched, and your birthday is coming up soon. I’ve prepared a surprise for you.”
The ad is ready to be launched?
Ming Wan thought of the down jacket advertisement Ming Yao had filmed half a year ago that was also ready to be launched. An idea started to form in her mind.
Ming Yao got her humiliated by their classmates, so she could have her mother pull Ming Yao’s ad, and…
Ming Wan glanced at the man holding her. Didn’t Ming Yao write a love letter to Xiao Yichen back in high school? After it was posted on the bulletin board, she tore it down, but she had been keeping it ever since.
If she were to post it on Weibo for everyone to see that Ming Yao once coveted her boyfriend, what would the effect be?
A cold smile curled up the corners of Ming Wan’s mouth.
…
Ming Yao moved back to Imperial Garden.
However, she was on her period recently and hadn’t shared a room with Tyrant Gu.
Tyrant Gu initially demanded to sleep in the same bed as her, but one morning after she ruthlessly mocked him, saying ‘Are you that desperate?’, he moved to the guest room next door.
He has been stormy-faced these days.
Ming Yao was well aware that men are not to be provoked when they wake up in the morning—it wasn’t desperation, just a natural physiological response.
After washing up, Ming Yao came downstairs to find Tyrant Gu already having breakfast.
Upon seeing her, he spoke in a husky voice, “Mrs. Gu, it’s the seventh day today.”
Ming Yao took a sip of milk and almost choked, “Mr. Gu seems to have a very clear memory.”
“So, can I return to the master bedroom to sleep tonight?”
Looking at the man’s handsome, proud profile, Ming Yao coughed, “I didn’t kick you out.”
The man scoffed, “Then who was it that mocked a man’s normal physiological reaction that morning?”
Ming Yao, “…” Can’t we just have breakfast in peace? Enough of this topic; I don’t want to talk about it anymore.
Seeing the woman lower her head and concentrate on eating her breakfast, Gu Siting stared at her elegant, straight nose and the red lips methodically savoring the food, his eyes darkened, “You haven’t been driving the car I gave you to work recently?”
“That car is just too eye-catching…” After joining the Gu Corporation’s internal staff chat group, she discovered that the female employees were frantically speculating who in Li City was driving that flashy pink car, vowing to expose the siren Fourth Master Gu was secretly keeping.
Though many in the Upper Circle knew that Fourth Master had married the Ming Family’s eldest daughter, the marriage between Ming Yao and Fourth Master Gu was not publicly announced.
Most people were unaware of their relationship.
Gu Siting’s slender fingertips tapped on the dining table, “Later, I’ll drive you to the company. Whatever car you want, just tell Lu Zhou.”
Ming Yao, “Husband, you’re really just after my beauty and body, aren’t you? You’ve spent quite a fortune on me recently!”
Gu Siting looked at the playful and carefree woman, his deep eyes intense like the ocean, “Good to know. Don’t make up excuses tonight!”
Ming Yao, catching the man’s gaze, felt as if she understood the unspoken words: Woman, don’t even think about running away, I am claiming you tonight!
