The Most Loving Marriage In History: Master Mu's Pampered Wife
/ The Most Loving Marriage In History: Master Mu's Pampered Wife Chapter 209
The scandal did not die down . Instead, it was gaining more and more traction .
The media started reporting it .
Due to City Z paying attention to the development of healthy children lately, words like “orphanage” had become seemingly sensitive . Needless to say, the whole matter turned into a pretty big deal .
Huge crowds of reporters flooded the entrance of Yueying Culture Media Company . Everyone wanted an explanation from Xi Xinyi, including the Han Corporation as well .
Deng Wenwen succumbed under the pressure and held a press conference to give an explanation regarding this matter . It was the stakeholders' meeting tomorrow, after all, and she needed to be cautious .
Yueying's current situation was like a ship sailing in a storm . One more large wave and it would sink, and since Yueying was Deng Wenwen's heart and soul, she could not just let it go down .
Naturally, Xi Xinyi attended the press conference, and as Xi Xiaye predicted before, she gave up on the ownership of the land .
At this moment, Xi Xiaye was standing on the edge of the New Era Plaza . She raised her head and looked at the enormous television screen on the wall, which was live-streaming Xi Xinyi's press conference .
Under the pressure of countless flashlights, Xi Xinyi was still able to remain composed as she gave her explanation to the crowd . Of course, she was just following a perfectly edited speech .
“I genuinely apologize for causing many doubts and misunderstanding . I've been keeping an eye on the orphanage for a long time and have mentioned it to CEO Han several times . He was concerned as well . Recently, the government has been very active in charity work for children with a purpose to encourage everyone to pay attention to the children in our city and be concerned about their development . I think that I should do my part as well, and the decision to buy the orphanage land was made after a long discussion with CEO Han . It was to help them protect their home…”
In the end, Xi Xinyi was forced to donate the land to the orphanage as well as $3 million as renovation fees .
Xi Xiaye herself was shocked by how valuable that piece of land was . Xi Xinyi did not have a choice now but to let go of this extremely valuable land .
Impressed by Xi Xinyi's decisiveness, Xi Xiaye had a sarcastic grin on her face as her eyes were filled with interest .
Xi Xinyi, how did it feel like to suffer a double loss after trying to trick me?
Naturally, it was a rare occurrence for such a large donation in City Z . Even with a top star like Xi Xinyi, it was unnatural for her to just give it away, especially when Yueying Culture Media Company was infamous for being stingy in the industry .
Doubts started coming from the reporters .
“Ms . Xi, Ning An Orphanage mentioned there was neither any discussion about the purchase of the orphanage nor any donations at all, yet you told us about this today . Are you just doing it out of guilt?”
“Ms . Xi, please explain!”
The reporters were asking tough questions . Xi Xinyi's reasoning did not seem convincing enough . Of course, she dared not mention Xi Xiaye's name in public because not only would this make things difficult with Xi Mushan, but it would also become a much worse mess than this .
Xi Xinyi just wanted this matter to end as soon as possible .
Xi Xiaye stopped watching . She turned around and walked through the crowd focused on the enormous screen, arriving beside her car after a while .
The moment she reached the car, Mu Yuchen opened the door for her from the inside .
“What took you so long?” He asked quietly as she got into the car .
She buckled her seatbelt and started the car as she replied, “I took a look at Xi Xinyi's press conference . As I imagined, she gave up on the orphanage . I'm really impressed though . She's really generous . ”
“You made her do that, didn't you?”
He laughed as he grabbed a document and put it inside her briefcase . “Vice President Liu will be waiting for you at the office tomorrow . Get these documents to him . ”
“Mmm, by the way, Su Nan and Ruan Heng's wedding is the day after tomorrow . I picked a set of jewelry out for them and I gave it to them under our name in case I'm alone that day… Are you really going to play golf with Grandpa that day?”
He nodded . “I have something to talk to him about . Attend the wedding with Mother . ”
“What is it about?” She frowned in doubt as she could tell that something was up .
“You probably guessed it . It's related to the South River project . ” He placed the briefcase back .
“So, it really is about the South River project… I remember that Qikai and the Han Corporation are interested in this as well . Grandpa mentioned it before, remember? Qikai is pretty capable . Didn't I give you some information on Qikai before? Qikai's Master, Qi Lei, had just taken on the role of the Vice CEO, and he seemed very confident about this project . Did you check them out?”
He was startled for a moment . An obscure light appeared under his eyes and he did not reply as he was in deep thoughts .
“I'm talking to you . Hello?” Xi Xiaye glanced at him and saw the coldness in his quiet eyes unlike the silence from before, which was why she asked .
Mu Yuchen snapped out of his thoughts quickly and placed a finger on his forehead . “I'm fine . I know our chances of winning are surely much higher with Fuhua backing us up . Don't worry . I've got this . ”
“I'll check Qikai out in these few days . They seem to be working with a foreign company . Our city has been encouraging forging bonds with external forces . Qikai's power is nearly the same as us Glory World, so we have to be careful about them doing something behind our back . They are known for pulling tricks . ” Mu Yuchen suddenly remembered that Mu Tangchuan had reminded him about this before as well .
“Mmm, I've asked Vice President Zhang to take note . Don't worry . ”
She was doubtful as she could feel that he was not really paying attention . While she tilted her head over and was about to ask something, he looked outside with a lonely expression .
After some hesitation, she averted her gaze away and did not say anything . She focused forward and sped the car up .
