Chapter 561 - 563: A Rage for the Beauty
Xia Xiaonuan furrowed her brows, her gaze meeting Qi Yue’s. Qi Yue looked at her with nothing but heartache.Mr. Xia came out of the hospital, the surgery was quite successful, but he couldn’t bear any more stress. Mr. Xia didn’t want to see her right now, so she had to stay away. She left Yun and a few servants to take care of him.
Walking out of the hospital with Qi Yue, Qi Yue looked at her and said, "Xiaonuan, do you really plan to ask Young Master for help?"
Xia Xiaonuan sighed, "Let me think about it."
Qi Yue dragged her to a noodle shop on the street and ordered a bowl of noodles.
Xia Xiaonuan hadn’t eaten anything all day, but she just couldn’t bring herself to eat.
Qi Yue insisted, "Xiaonuan, how can you not eat? There are so many things to handle. If you collapse, what will your parents do?"
Qi Yue smiled, "Just take one bite, even just one bite!"
Xia Xiaonuan forced a smile and ate a little.
Then the two went home together.
Qi Yue was browsing the internet on her laptop, and after a while, she suddenly said, "Xiaonuan, how come Mr. Liang was photographed again!?"
Xia Xiaonuan was startled.
She quickly leaned over, and sure enough, pictures of her with Liang Shaochen from the morning were posted online.
The headline read, "Mr. Liang appears with a mysterious girlfriend at the Nangong Group, even driving into reporters."
It claimed that the person in Mr. Liang’s car might be Jiang Xue, suggested she was taken from Nangong Group after a fight with Nangong Yaoling, and rescued back as his girlfriend... The photos showed the scene of a reporter’s camera being hit.
Xia Xiaonuan looked at the chaotic report and her face turned completely dark.
These reporters had such vivid imaginations; it was clearly her, yet they labeled it a heroic rescue of a beauty...
Online commenters said all sorts of things, mentioning that the usually gentle Mr. Liang had been angered by a beauty. They even said there would be a fierce battle between Nangong Group and the Liang Family.
Many experts were offering advice, claiming Nangong Empire and the Liang Family’s stock prices would continue to fall, advising everyone to prepare for a downslide...
Some people in the comments were calling her name, telling Xia Xiaonuan to hold on... saying there were plenty of good men, and she shouldn’t do anything rash...
Xia Xiaonuan felt dizzy just reading it.
Qi Yue gossiped, "Xiaonuan, do you think that person might be Jiang Xue?" Seeing Xia Xiaonuan’s face change, she quickly realized her slip and added, "How could it possibly be Jiang Xue? These people really know how to make stuff up! Young Master and Mr. Liang are obviously in good terms, yet they’re saying this... Xiaonuan, don’t take it to heart..."
Xia Xiaonuan shook her head. She didn’t tell Qi Yue the truth, she just didn’t want her to worry.
...
Meanwhile, Nangong Yaoling read the online reports, his face equally dark.
"Young Master..." Qin Yi looked at his expression, "Mr. Liang was discharged from the hospital just yesterday, and when he came to the company today, you should have been here too. Why didn’t he come to see you?"
Nangong Yaoling zoomed in on the picture, his eyes focusing on the figure covered by Liang Shaochen’s coat.
The girl was wearing a white sweater, and the sleeve peeked out.
His brow twitched, suddenly remembering that Xia Xiaonuan had been wearing that sweater during the day.
Could it be this woman is...
In an instant, Nangong Yaoling’s face turned extremely grim.
An aura of chilling intensity emanated from his body.
Qin Yi sensed something, his gaze instinctively fell on the photo.
A certain image flashed through his mind.
"Could it be... that person is..." Qin Yi muttered, but didn’t dare to continue.
