Chapter 550: What a Turtle!
These media reporters are so aggressive, it’s infuriating!Chen Ke’s face turned cold as he yelled sharply, "Even Mrs. Gu’s reputation is something you dare to slander? Do none of you want to stay in Rongcheng anymore? Fine! I’ll call Mr. Gu right now and tell him—"
"Tell him what?"
From the crowd, a shareholder with the last name Liu, who had been silently watching the drama unfold, stepped forward and spoke: "Mr. Gu’s status in Rongcheng’s business world is well-known to everyone. However, Mr. Gu initially married Miss Ji, and now the woman in the office is a counterfeit. It seems even Mr. Gu might have been kept in the dark.
Besides, even if Mr. Gu is powerful, he has no reason to intervene in Ji Group’s internal affairs. You’re Mr. Gu’s assistant; you should consider his reputation. Don’t let others think of Mr. Gu as someone who meddles unnecessarily."
When the reporters heard Mr. Gu’s name, they initially hesitated, but after Liu stepped forward, they started heckling again.
"That’s right! We won’t be fooled by some mysterious woman. If you’re wronged, come out and explain yourself instead of hiding like a coward!"
Outside the office, the aggressive words of the reporters were all heard by Ji Wei.
She knew the exposé was intentional, meant to remove her from the acting president position.
There wasn’t a shortage of people who stood to gain from this, and she didn’t even bother guessing who was pulling the strings behind the scenes.
She took a deep breath and was just about to step out to confront the reckless reporters when her phone suddenly rang.
It was Mo Qian calling.
Ji Wei answered, and Mo Qian’s anxious voice came through: "Weiwei, I’ve seen the online news. Don’t worry, I’ll come over immediately and handle everything."
Ji Wei felt a warmth in her heart, but she smiled and declined: "There’s no need, Mo Qian. Don’t you have urgent business in A City? Just go ahead; I can handle this."
"Are you really sure?" Mo Qian sounded surprised.
"I’m not as fragile as you think. Trust me," Ji Wei said confidently.
Pausing for a moment, Mo Qian replied, "Alright, then. Would you like me to have someone take down the news online immediately?"
"No need. By now, probably half of Rongcheng already knows about it. Retracting the news wouldn’t make much of a difference, and doing so might make it seem like we’re trying to cover it up, which would only hurt us more."
Faced with such malicious rumors, Ji Wei showed neither panic nor hesitation, her thoughts organized and clear. This made Mo Qian feel deeply reassured.
He typically shielded her from harm, but he had overlooked the fact that she was also a very capable woman.
Alright, this time he would let her handle things her way.
He would support her from behind the scenes.
"My wife remains calm under pressure; I am genuinely impressed," Mo Qian praised without hesitation, then his tone shifted: "But always remember, your husband will always be your strongest support."
Ji Wei smiled.
Mo Qian’s words were all she needed.
After hanging up, Ji Wei opened the door and stepped out, just in time to see the security guards driving the reporters away.
Seeing Ji Wei suddenly appear, the reporters seemed energized, relentlessly breaking past the guards and surging forward.
Mary stepped protectively in front of Ji Wei, her expression cold, her gaze sharp as she stared down the advancing crowd.
"Miss Ji, can you clarify whether the reports online are true?" New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on novelFɪre.net
"Are you really pregnant? Why did you impersonate Miss Ji all these years? Does Mr. Ji know about this?"
"Are you actually the mastermind behind Mr. Ji’s disappearance?"
...
Endless questions were hurled. To secure advantageous interview spots, some reporters desperately pushed forward, creating chaos in the crowd.
The man at the front carrying a camera lost his footing and fell forward, sending the equipment hurtling straight toward Ji Wei!
