Chapter 145 Are You Threatening Me?
The people around them started laughing at them.
I also caught a glimpse of Zhao Baixue.
I never expected to run into you here tonight.
I raised an eyebrow: "I'm not worthy, are you?"
"Shen Yan, stop pretending," Zhao Baixue reminded her calmly. "Actually, everyone already knows."
"What do you know?" I was completely confused.
“The chairman of Meihe Group is your financial backer,” Zhao Baixue said. “This news had already spread this afternoon.”
I frowned: "Who told you that?"
"This news came from Gu Heng's office," Zhao Baixue said, not admitting that she had spread the rumor. "Besides, wasn't it thanks to Meihe Group that you were able to terminate your contract with Gu Heng and stop cooperating with him?"
"Who doesn't know that the chairman of Meihe Group is a decrepit old man? If you two didn't have some kind of relationship, would he help you?" Shang Xiaoling said angrily. "You are clearly President Huo's fiancée, but you rely on other men, especially an old man, to get to your position. Don't you feel ashamed?"
I smiled casually: "Just because Meihe Group helped me get rid of Gu Heng, does that mean I'm having an ambiguous relationship with an old man? Don't you all have sugar daddies behind you? Are you all clean?"
"Shen Yan, what nonsense are you talking about? We all climbed up here on our own merits," Shang Xiaoling said angrily.
"You guys rely on yourselves, while I rely on older men. How can you be so hypocritical?" I rolled my eyes at her. "Besides, do you have any proof?"
"The news came from the president's office of the Gu Group, how could it be false?" Zhao Baixue looked at me meaningfully.
I sneered, "Isn't Gu Heng here too? Why don't we bring him over and confront him face to face?"
Everyone whispered.
After all, no one dared to go.
Just as I was about to look for Liang Wan, Gu Heng walked over.
The crowd made way for him.
He was dressed in a black velvet suit with a shawl collar, his dark eyes sharp and tinged with a hint of mockery: "I heard someone is looking for me?"
I slightly raised my eyes: "It was me who looked for you."
"You wanted to see me?" He smirked. "Is there anything we can't discuss privately? Given our relationship..."
"Gu Heng." I called his name coldly: "Is your CEO office just a bunch of retired old men and women with nothing better to do? All they do is gossip all day. You don't know how to choose people, or should I arrange a few for you?"
"What exactly happened?" Gu Heng was still pretending to be confused.
I looked at him with disdain: "Gu Heng, they said rumors about me started circulating from your office. It spread this afternoon. How could you not know?"
He looked innocent: "Explain yourself clearly."
"Gu Heng, this afternoon someone said that Shen Yan has some improper relationship with the chairman of Meihe Group." Zhao Baixue spoke cautiously, "Later, when someone pressed for details, they found out that the news came from your president's office."
"Oh?" Gu Heng smiled knowingly.
"I want to know, when I went to your office to terminate the contract that day, I did mention Meihe, but how did such rumors spread?" My face was cold: "You need to give me an explanation for this."
Gu Heng narrowed his eyes slightly: "I really don't know."
I got up.
Just then, Huo Yubai arrived as well.
"President Huo!" Shang Xiaoting exclaimed excitedly.
Huo Yubai walked up to me and said, "I've heard about what happened."
I said indifferently, "Gu Heng, a person should be responsible for their actions. You were angry because of the contract termination, and you slandered my relationship with the chairman of Meihe Group in your office. How bold can your president's office be to spread such rumors everywhere?"
All of this was done with Gu Heng's tacit approval.
Because he wanted to test the relationship between me and the Meihe Group.
So cunning!
However, I have absolutely no connection with the Meihe Group.
It's all because of Shen Xingyuan.
"Shen Yan, I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly." Gu Heng looked at me meaningfully: "This was originally just a little joke between you and me, but I didn't expect it to be used by someone with ulterior motives."
"A joke?" I laughed angrily. "If I said you slept with a sow, that would also be a joke, would you be willing?"
Gu Heng froze.
"Stop trying to be ambiguous with me. I have absolutely nothing to do with you." I clenched my fists.
"Shen Yan is my fiancée, and she has absolutely nothing to do with you." Huo Yubai's dark eyes were sinister: "Gu Heng, you and your CEO office have spread rumors about my fiancée, and I have the right to hold you accountable."
Gu Heng narrowed his eyes slightly: "Your fiancée, your relationship is..."
“It’s true.” My gaze was cold. “I am Huo Yubai’s fiancée. You’ve spread rumors about me, and I won’t let you get away with it. You’d better give me an explanation right here today, or none of us will have a good time!”
"Are you threatening me?" Gu Heng asked calmly.
“You provoked me first,” I retorted.
Gu Heng twitched the corner of his mouth.
"President Huo, you must keep your eyes open. It's not normal for Shen Yan to become a professor at such a young age. In addition, there are rumors about her and the chairman of Meihe Group. It's better to believe it than not. If it turns out the rumors are true in the future, it will be too late." Shang Xiaoting said hurriedly.
Huo Yubai said coldly, "Who do you think you are, daring to talk nonsense here?"
Shang Xiaoting's eyes were deep and unfathomable: "Mr. Huo, I just don't want you to be deceived."
"Get out!" Huo Yubai's narrow eyes were gloomy: "In my heart, Shen Yan is the best girl, no one can compare to her. As for her relationship with the chairman of Meihe Group, you had better produce evidence."
"The evidence is the people in President Gu's office," Shang Xiaoting emphasized. "They know the most information, and with President Gu around, how dare they spread rumors?"
Huo Yubai looked at Gu Heng with indifference.
Gu Heng's face was ashen, as if he didn't really want to get involved.
"Gu Heng, it seems you really can't manage such a large corporation." I said sarcastically. "But what's wrong with the president's office of the Gu Group? It's just a bunch of rabble. How dare you treat it as gospel? Does that mean we should all believe their lies from now on?"
“Shen Yan, if you have absolutely no connection with Meihe Group, you can easily clarify that,” Zhao Baixue said with a smug look.
In her view, everything I said was just sophistry.
They also presented reasonable evidence to prove their innocence.
I don't know where she got the information that I had no dealings with Meihe Group.
Or did it just bite randomly?
Gu Heng looked at me thoughtfully.
Actually, the person we most want to know is him.
I took a deep breath, just about to speak.
Footsteps could be heard from not far away.
Everyone turned to look.
An elderly woman with a full head of white hair and a kind face, dressed very elegantly, was walking slowly with a string of Buddhist prayer beads in her hand, followed by a group of people.
Everyone was astonished, not knowing who she was.
