Chapter 554: Aren’t You Going to Clarify?
Mu Jiajiao couldn’t dodge in time and ended up being furiously kissed by the man.After tasting the sweetness, Manager Zhou’s animal instincts took over, becoming even more uncontrollable as he reached out toward Mu Jiajiao’s chest.
"Let go of me! Get away!"
Mu Jiajiao, both enraged and flustered, pushed Manager Zhou away hard and fled in panic.
Manager Zhou spat on the ground, his eyes filled with malice and frustration.
Mu Jiajiao ran far from Manager Zhou’s office. Mary emerged silently from the corner nearby and quickly walked back to the CEO’s office.
After hearing Mary’s report, Ji Wei became more convinced that the person helping Mu Jiajiao was Manager Zhou.
That morning, media reporters storming in had had all their footage confiscated by security. However, news about Ji Wei online had not died down, and the buzz was only growing hotter.
At the entrance of Ji Group, reporters from major portals, drawn by the scandal, crowded the area.
Looking out from the floor-to-ceiling windows of the 33rd floor, the mass of people outside the building gathered like a dark cloud, braving the wind and snow to wait for Ji Wei to appear. Chen Ke, somewhat worried, spoke up: "If these people refuse to leave, we’ll have to think of another way to get out after work."
Ji Wei’s mood, however, remained completely unaffected.
The meals delivered by her private chef were incredibly tasty, and she was already on her second bowl of rice.
Upon hearing this, she looked up and smiled: "Why bother with them? If they want to stay out in the snow, let them stay."
After all, she wasn’t the one freezing.
Chen Ke couldn’t understand. With several major portals nearly crashing due to the reports, how could Ji Wei remain so composed?
"Are you not planning to clarify things?" he couldn’t help but ask.
"If someone deliberately wants to tarnish your name, even if you had a hundred mouths, you wouldn’t get through to them. Why bother making yourself miserable?"
"But we can’t just sit here and do nothing..." Chen Ke was genuinely anxious.
Before boarding his flight, Mr. Gu had explicitly instructed him to help Ji Wei resolve the matter. Yet half the day had passed, and Ji Wei hadn’t made any moves—not even issuing a statement.
"Who said I’m sitting here doing nothing?"
Ji Wei set down her chopsticks and wiped her mouth with a napkin. "Slander of this sort naturally has to be dealt with through legal channels. Go contact Lawyer Pei and tell him I’m commissioning him to handle this case."
Chen Ke was so stunned he froze, unable to react for a moment.
"Feeling surprised?" Ji Wei stood up with a smile, stretching her body as she walked back and forth. "I remember you mentioned having evidence of that lawyer’s affair. So I checked online just now and discovered his wife is also a lawyer, specializing in divorce cases. Now tell me, if we threatened to hand over the affair evidence to his wife, what do you think he’d do?"
Chen Ke was momentarily taken aback, but soon his gaze toward Ji Wei was filled with admiration.
Over the past few days of working together, he’d come to realize he had a completely refreshed perception of Ji Wei. In terms of business acumen, her maneuvers were no less proficient than those of seasoned veterans!
"Mr. Ji, there’s a lawyer’s letter addressed to you." The receptionist knocked and entered, holding a document bag in her hand.
Chen Ke instantly took it and handed it to Ji Wei.
Upon seeing the logo of Pei You Law Firm, a mysterious smile curled on Ji Wei’s lips, and she casually tossed the document bag into the trash bin.
...
Pei You hung up the phone and slumped into his chair.
Ji Wei had actually commissioned him to handle a defamation lawsuit—and she insisted he must win! Otherwise, his wife would find out about the affair.
With Tang Yi currently stuck at the police station and unable to fend for himself, Pei You wouldn’t be foolish enough to end up incriminating himself.
I’m sorry, Tang Yi.
Humans are inherently selfish. I can only make the choice that benefits me the most!
