Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Cheng Yuqi was roused from her sleep by Auntie Wang and was clueless about the situation. “What’s going on, Auntie Wang? Why did you wake me up so early?”
After Auntie Wang explained the situation in a hushed tone, Cheng Yuqi immediately became alert. “Hurry, get me my sexiest pajamas.”
She hastily got out of bed, applying makeup and fixing her hair before rushing to Fang Yuan’s room. Observing the open door, she felt a bit reassured. Spotting the two holding hands and talking, she controlled her emotions and knocked on the door. “Sister, 1 heard about what happened online. I’m really worried about you. Are you okay? Brother Yi, you’re here too?”
Fang Yuan smiled, “Yes, I’m fine.”
Bo Yi disregarded Cheng Yuqi and gazed at Fang Yuan affectionately.
Cheng Yuqi clenched her fists, unsure of what to say. However, she knew she couldn’t leave the two alone. Would she still have a chance if she did?
Noticing Cheng Yuqi’s hesitation, Fang Yuan spoke deliberately, “Is there anything else? If not, I’d like to talk to Yi alone.” She emphasized the word “alone,” curious about how long Cheng Yuqi could maintain her pretense.
Bo Yi’s lips curled up at this. His precious Yuanyuan called him Yi.
Cheng Yuqi struggled to control her expression. Through gritted teeth, she said, “It’s okay. Then I…”
“Auntie Du is calling for you and Young Master Yi to come downstairs, Miss,” Auntie Du interrupted, appearing just in time to summon Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan nodded, “Alright, I’ll go down now.”
Hearing this, Cheng Yuqi breathed a sigh of relief. “Then, Sister, I’ll go down.”
As Cheng Yuqi departed, Bo Yi inquired, “Yuanyuan, any thoughts on who might be behind this?”
Fang Yuan smiled, “Who could it be? The truth will be revealed soon.”
After descending the stairs, Cheng Ye outlined the plan they had devised to Fang Yuan. Their strategy involved first unveiling Fang Yuan’s true identity as a member of the Cheng family and subsequently holding accountable those responsible for spreading the false rumors. The analyzed photos, while lacking obvious signs of manipulation, had a critical flaw—the relationship between Cheng Mohan and Fang Yuan. By revealing their identities, they believed the situation would naturally resolve itself. Bo Yi’s involvement, especially if they announced Fang Yuan as his fiancee, would further reinforce their stance.
Bo Yi, holding Fang Yuan’s hand, asked, “Yuanyuan, are you willing to announce our relationship?”
Initially hesitant due to potential inconveniences, Fang Yuan acquiesced, “I have no objections. Let’s do this.”
Qiao Xinhui, observing the affection between the two, expressed her joy, “Yuanyuan, it’s time for everyone to know your true identity. My precious daughter, you’ve suffered during this period.”
Cheng Yuqi, standing silently on the sidelines, sensed the calculated nature of their decision. The timing of revealing Fang Yuan’s identity left her with no room to object. She couldn’t help but feel that Mu Sha’s involvement had only added to the chaos.
The Cheng Corporation promptly issued an announcement, disclosing Fang Yuan’s identity and sending legal notices to several verified accounts to hold them responsible. However, they deliberately refrained from addressing the issue of reporting the wrong child.
Simultaneously, the Bo Corporation publicized the news of Fang Yuan and Bo Yi’s upcoming engagement.
The online troll activities were swiftly curtailed, resulting in a return to normalcy in the comments section. Gradually, voices in support of Fang Yuan began to emerge.
[She’s the general manager of our company. We didn’t know that she was the daughter of the Cheng family. She’s really beautiful, kind, and low-key!] [That’s right. 1 was her junior high school classmate. Her grades are very good, and she’s a good person. Although she didn’t grow up in the Cheng family, she’s also multi-talented.]
[I’m the front desk of XX Hotel. This young lady came to the hotel with an old man, but she called him Grandpa! What’s wrong with this world? Must men and women have an affair when they walk together? What worldview! ]
[That’s right. We misunderstood Fang Yuan and President Cheng’s relationship at that time. Although President Cheng did go to the lounge, they came out together! And the photo is not the lounge of our competition!] There was also the true appearance of the lounge of the fashion competition.
After a day of proactive efforts, the online narrative had undergone a complete transformation. Additionally, Bo Yi had reviewed the surveillance footage from the competition day, successfully identifying the suspect, Mu Sha.
Mu Sha, closely monitoring the unfolding events on the Internet, realized her miscalculations. While she had obtained the photos through hired means, she had neglected to remove her traces from the fashion competition. Moreover, she never anticipated that the distant relative Cheng Yuqi mentioned would turn out to be the actual daughter of the Cheng family. As Fang Yuan’s true identity became public, Mu Sha desperately tried to reach Cheng Yuqi but was unable to get through. Frustrated, she vented her anger by smashing objects in her room. However, her actions did not go unnoticed, and the police soon arrived to take her into custody..
