Chapter 338: Chapter 338 He is a man with a penchant for cleanliness_1
 

I gave a faint smile, “Bad news? I’ve never had good news! Go ahead and tell me!”

Yes!

I’ve already died once, what bad news could possibly be so unbearable for me now?

Truly forged in fire!

My heart, having been subjected to repeated blows, must have become numb by now!

However, when Wenya delivered the news to me, I still couldn’t handle it.

My whole body went cold!

What Wenya showed me was a news article.

The headline was bold, and it was paired with a provocative photo.

The Second Young Mistress of the Ding Family could not bear her loneliness, passionately kissing the boss of Zhenyi Company, Gu Yuanzhou…

The picture was exactly from last night, where Gu Yuanzhou was kissing me intensely as he pushed me into the car.

The angle of the shooter was very tricky, you could see the two people in a passionate embrace, and I appeared to be enjoying it.

Only then did I remember, when I was leaving that day, Gu Yuanzhou seemed to have spoken to a man with a camera.

At that moment, all the blood in my body ran cold.

I just knew he had set a trap for me.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have let me leave so easily last night.

Exactly!!

“Wenya, is there any way to get this news taken down?”

After a brief moment of blankness in my mind, I was overwhelmed by a wave of anger.

Wenya exchanged a look with Su Peisheng.

Su Peisheng walked over, then shook his head,

“When we discovered this matter this morning, it had already gone viral. We immediately called Baidu and asked how much it would cost to take down the trending topic. We were willing to pay whatever the amount as long as they would agree. But they refused, saying that someone had paid to put the news on the trending list. They had already signed an airtight contract, which couldn’t be retracted.”

Wenya was also furious upon hearing this,

“Gu Yuanzhou, this beast! Now that the Ding Family has seen this news, they must be absolutely livid!”

I sat down in a chair, hands covering my face, feeling completely powerless.

This piece of news was like Gu Yuanzhou rolling up his sleeves and slapping the Ding Family hard across the face.

I could even picture it in my mind, Mother Ding being pointed at and whispered about whenever she went out.

How could they withstand this?

Su Peisheng came over to comfort me,

“An upright person does not fear a crooked shadow. Everyone knows what kind of person you are. We’re not blind. Why worry about the rumors they spread?”

Wenya also said next to me,

“Anyway, President Ding doesn’t know about it yet! He’s the biggest victim and luckily can’t see it, so it won’t hurt him. Give it some time, and it will get better.”

Wenya’s attempt to comfort me didn’t make me feel much better for long.

Because I found the situation becoming increasingly horrifying.

Perhaps because the hospital is mostly filled with patients, there weren’t many people interested in such sensational scandals about the wealthy.

But, when I left the hospital, pushing Yinuo’s wheelchair for a walk in the park,

Many passersby recognized me and started pointing fingers and whispering.

“Look over there! Isn’t that the wife of the second young master of the Ding Family? With her husband turned into a vegetable, she’s having an affair with the boss of Zhenyi Company, ah, this woman is truly insatiable!”

“Seriously, her husband is in this condition, and she still has the mind to carry on an affair. How desperate must she be?”

“It’s truly sad for her husband. I don’t know what he’ll think when he wakes up. Wearing such a huge green hat, he might just die of anger when he comes to!”

“Exactly! And if she gets pregnant later and the child turns out to be someone else’s, that would be even more ridiculous.”

The murmuring of the people flowed into my ears like a tide.

I didn’t dare to argue with these people; I could only push the wheelchair forward quickly.

To get far away from them…

But sometimes, some things can’t be avoided just because you want to.

The scandalous rumors spread everywhere—first, it was the news of my affair with Gu Yuanzhou, and then, the news that we were spotted in a hotel room together.

These rumors endlessly smeared me, blackened the reputation of the Ding Family, and gradually, they began to affect the entire company.

And facing this situation, I felt powerless.

I could sense that Gu Yuanzhou had set a huge trap for me.

Knowing he was waiting for me to jump in, I didn’t even have the strength to step back.

Every day, I would repeatedly ask myself, what should I do?

These past few days, Mother Ding also came to the hospital to visit Ding Yinuo.

Although she didn’t mention the scandal, I could clearly see the awkwardness on her face.

Her smile seemed not as easygoing as before when she looked at me.

And after I finished wiping Ding Yinuo’s body, she would be especially polite to me, thanking me repeatedly.

Finally, one day I couldn’t help it anymore and I asked her,

“Mom, do you have any thoughts about those rumors outside? You can tell me directly if you have any opinion!”

Mother Ding heaved a long sigh, and tears started to flow as soon as she spoke.

I passed her a tissue, and she took it to wipe her tears,

“Xiaoyun, I know you are a good woman, you’ve been so devoted to Yinuo, and our entire family is grateful. But… you’re still young, and if you have any ideas, I think maybe, you should get a divorce first. Rest assured, not a single person in the Ding Family will say a word against you. As long as you are happy, we can all understand.”

After hearing her words, I felt a chill in my heart, although there was no malice in Mother Ding’s words.

But clearly, the rumors had affected her.

No matter how strong she was inside, she couldn’t withstand the constant encouragement from relatives at home.

“Mom, I’m really sorry to have caused such trouble for you. I haven’t done anything to wrong Ding Yinuo. My conscience is clear. As for the matter of divorce, I will only agree if Ding Yinuo speaks of it himself after he wakes up.”

Mother Ding sighed deeply again, “I don’t blame you at all; I just… hope you can be well too. Ah, child, you are still young. Whatever decision you make now, we can all understand.”

“Mom, I’m fine! I’m really doing okay…”

Not long after Mother Ding left, Jiang Jiaying, whom I hadn’t seen for a long time, started coming to visit Ding Yinuo every now and then.

At that time, she would also mock me occasionally, “Ding Yinuo really went blind, how could he fancy a woman like you! If he wakes up and knows what you’re really like, he’ll definitely regret it to death.”

I looked at her coldly, “You don’t know shit!”

Jiang Jiaying’s face reddened with anger at my retort,

“If you really don’t love Ding Yinuo, then don’t cling to him. Don’t you know there’s someone else in this world who loves him more than you do!”

I scoffed,

“When he was in a coma, I didn’t see you coming to visit. Now that you’ve heard he’s about to wake up, here you are. What are you really planning, everybody can see it, okay? But no matter what you’re planning, it’s useless. Even if Ding Yinuo wakes up, he won’t fancy you.”

Jiang Jiaying snorted coldly,

“You really have an absurd confidence. Ding Yinuo is a man who values cleanliness; he’ll never want you again if he knows about this.”

I just smiled and didn’t say a word!
