C26 Xie Lingyu's Decisiveness!

While Zhouyang and Shen Bijun were discussing how to deal with their predicament, they did not notice the huge commontion already happening outside.

For these gossip magazines were the best-selling magazines in the city, the news of the relationship between Zhouyang and Shen Bijun spread like wildfire in just this short morning.

Although no one knew the truth of this matter, it still did not prevent others from making a fuss about it.

As for the people who were cooperating with Fame company, they were even more shocked.

"Director Zhang, what should we do? Now that such a thing has happened, will Shen Bijun still protect Zhouyang?"

The secretary of Beauty Co. said with a worried expression. Zhang Hui, on the other hand, sat on the sofa quietly and started to think.

"Don't do anything for now. It's seems that this matter isn't that simple."

As the assistant manager of the Jade Pavilion read the magazine's gossip, her face filled with ridicule.

"I thought he was some sort of big gun, but I never expected him to just be a gigolo who was taken care of. Xie Qian, you better see this with your own eyes. Do you really think someone like this will remember you?"

Zhao Tianlai, reading this gossip, was also at a loss and felt his heart aching. To think he had previously sold the 'Thousand Violet Heart' at a big discount to someone like him.

At the same time, in a luxurious clubhouse, Chen Junsheng and a bunch of pot-bellied middle-aged men were happily gathered together.

And the one standing in front of them with a face full of arrogance was Shen Bijun's younger brother, Shen Ze.

"Haha, Young Master Shen, Master Chen, how about this? Are you both satisfied?"

A middle-aged man with an oily face and hair full of gel said with a flattering smile, respectfully give his toasts to Shen Ze and Chen Junsheng.

"Not bad, you did pretty well in this matter. This will definitely teach that brat a lesson."

Shen Ze finished the wine in one gulp and growled with a sinister look on his face.

The news of Shen Ze being kicked out of the commencement dinner of the Whitening and Anti-Aging Factor Project by Zhouyang and Shen Bijun spread around the city within a short period of time.

This news caused Shen Ze to lose a lot of face and reputation. Even in front of his friends, he was unable to raise his head and was even mocked once by them.

He was extremely satisfied with what Chen Junsheng had done this time.

He could almost see the unsightly expressions on Zhouyang and Shen Bijun's faces.

"Hmph. This is only the first step. If you dare to oppose me, Chen Junsheng, then I will definitely not let you, Zhouyang, off so easily."

Chen Junsheng also wore a sullen expression.

"Haha, then congratulations to Young Master Chen and Young Master Shen for their successful plans. When the time comes, don't forget about us."

"..."

The gossip between Zhouyang and Shen Bijun instantly spread throughout the city.

Naturally, Xie Lingyu also came across this gossip magazine.

When she saw how intimate Shen Bijun and Zhouyang were with each other, she felt a sudden pain in her heart.

She thought that her feelings for Zhouyang had faded, but when she saw that he was intimate with another women, she still felt uneasy.

At this moment, Xie Lingyu's phone rang.

"Hey, Lingyu, you saw it, right? How could that Zhouyang do that to you? Had he forgotten that he was a married man? Go and ask him. If he doesn't explain anything, divorce him and kick him out of the family!"

Just as Xie Lingyu picked up the phone, she heard Mrs. Xie's hysterical roar.

"Mom, can you be quiet? Whether this is true or not, no one knows!"

Xie Lingyu instantly slapped her palm on her face, her tone sounding a little tired.

"What do you mean no one knows whether it's true or not? The picture is already right there! How could it not be real? This time, you have to divorce him. I want to see just how much money he can make as someone else's gigolo."

Mrs. Xie's voice was filled with avarice.

Xie Lingyu, not wanting to listen to what her mother was saying at the moment, hung up the phone immediately.

"Director Xie, the agreed meeting time regarding the contract with Fame Corporation is almost up."

"..."

Fame Corporation.

This was the second time that Xie Lingyu had come here with such a solemn expression.

The last time she came to this building, she was still participating in the public bidding and had won the spot for the Whitening Factor Project just like that.

However, this time was different from the last time. Xie Lingyu was feeling conflicted and a little hesitant to enter the building.

However, she also knew that today's meeting would determine the future of her cosmetics company.

Whether she wanted to live by borrowing the strength of the wind to grow stronger or to be annihilated, it all depended on her decisin today.

"Hello, Director Xie. Manager Zhou has been waiting for you for a long time."

Just as Xie Lingyu was distracted, she heard an elegant voice.

Xie Lingyu looked carefully and recognized that it was Zhouyang's assistant, Ye Chuqian.

Xie Lingyu nodded slightly and followed Ye Chuqian to Zhouyang's office.

The moment she saw Zhouyang, she stood confused in place.

The Zhouyang in front of him, was completely different from the Zhouyang who was in Xie Family three years ago.

In the past, Zhouyang had looked old and listless. Thus, Xie Lingyu could not see any hope in him.

But now, Zhouyang was like the blazing sun, shining brightly in the otherwise dark sky.

"You're here."

Without waiting for Xie Lingyu to speak, Zhouyang broke the silence between the two and led Xie Lingyu to sit across his desk.

"This is the contract that I have redrafted. You can take a look first. If you have any objections, you can just state them directly."

Zhouyang did not want to prolong things and went straight into the situation by handing the redrafted contract to Xie Lingyu directly. In this newer version of the contract, Zhouyang had made some slight adjustments to it in favor of Xie Lingyu's company. It could be said that Zhouyang had his own selfish motives and wanted to help Xie Lingyu.

"You…"

Xie Lingyu wanted to say something, but she swallowed her words when she met Zhouyang's gaze.

This contract that was newly drawn up had made a very detailed division of the cooperation between Pleasemant Makeup Company and Fame Company on the Whitening Factor Project.

Not only did it clearly mark the responsibilities and obligations of both sides, it also presented her with the space to choose what she wanted to handle.

The more Xie Lingyu read of the contract, the more flustered she became.

Putting aside all external factors, just looking at the contents in this contract alone would undoubtedly make anyone from the Pleasant Makeup Company ecstatic.

However, this pleasant surprise only lasted for a moment before Xie Lingyu finally came back to her senses.

"What do you mean by this? Do you pity me?"

Xie Lingyu asked in a low voice while pinching the contract.

She knew Zhouyang, and Zhouyang also knew her.

Even if Zhouyang was not informed about the current predicament Lingyu's company was in, he would definitely have seen it at some point.

Now that Zhouyang had directly brought out a contract that was very beneficial to her, it made Xie Lingyu feel as if her heart was blocked by a wall.

"Director Xie, I hope that you can keep your position. Right now, we are not related in any other way, but are instead the representatives of the companies on both sides to negotiate the contract."

Xie Lingyu's reaction was within Zhouyang's expectations, but it did not make him feel happy.

No matter what he said, they had been married for three years. Now facing this contract in front of her, Xie Lingyu's first reaction was her thinking that Zhouyang pitied her.

"Also, this contract wasn't solely based on my decisions, Director Shen also agreed to it."

Zhouyang said lightly.

He wanted to make it clear that he had no favoritism, no pity for her.

However, Zhouyang did not expect that this precise sentence would cause all the complicated emotions that Xie Lingyu had been holding in to burst out in an instant.

Originally, at Mrs. Xie's birthday party yesterday, Chen Junsheng said that Zhouyang was the gigolo that had been taken care of by Shen Bijun. At that time, Xie Lingyu did not believe him.

As long as Zhouyang gave an explanation, she would believe Zhouyang.

However, Zhouyang did not explain anything whatsoever.

Then this morning, all the gossip magazines in the city were reporting the intimate photos of Shen Bijun and Zhouyang, with the news and speculations that Zhouyang was a gigolo of Shen Bijun.

This was something Xie Lingyu simply could not accept.

In the previous three years, even if Zhouyang was not an ambitious person... even if Mrs. Xie had been insulting him continuously... Xie Lingyu would never and had never given up on him in the end.

But now, the photos in those gossip magazines were like sharp blades, slicing open Xie Lingyu's heart.

Now that Zhouyang mentioned in front of her that Shen Bijun was the one who agreed to the contract, it made Xie Lingyu unable to resist the overwhelming emotions piled up in her hearts over the years.

"Director Shen, Director Shen, is Shen Bijun the only person in your heart?"

"First, you didn't explain anything to me yesterday. And now, what do you have to say about the gossip in the news today?"

"Zhouyang, you really disappoint me. Don't tell me that if you leave this woman, you won't be able to continue living?"

Xie Lingyu bellowed with all her might, letting all her burdens out in that moment.

Her entire body was trembling slightly, and her pretty face was filled with an endless chill.

Zhouyang was familiar with this scene.

That night, when he rescued Xie Lingyu from Chen Junsheng and disturbed the negotiations between her and those investors, she also acted in this way.

But last time, she was simply angry.

This time, Zhouyang saw clearly how everything that she had hidden deep in her heart had also gushed out uncontrollably like a water bursting out of a pipe.

What was she panicking about?

Zhouyang stood dumbfounded in his place. Although only the two of them existed in this square space at the moment, Zhouyang felt as if he was surrounded by thousands of people.

It was as if they had all been pointing their fingers at him, mocking him for being a gigolo and saying how without that woman that he would not have the courage to continue living.

"Lingyu, can't you trust me this once?"

Zhouyang frowned and subconsciously smashed his fist on the table. The glass of water on the table flew into the air and shattered into broken pieces on the floor.

The commotion in the office also surprised the employees outside.

However, with Ye Chuqian watching them, no one dared to step forward to listen.

"How do you expect me to believe you? Zhouyang, did you see those news outside? Have you ever considered my feelings before?"

Xie Lingyu clenched her delicate fists tightly. Her nails dug deep into her flesh, and blood started to appear faintly. However, she acted as if she didn't feel anything and just glared at Zhouyang.

At this moment, she felt a sorrow so deep that she thought she was drowning in the depths of the ocean.

Zhouyang, on the contrary, didn't have any intentions of explaining in the face of his doubts.

If there was nothing going on between him and Shen Bijun, why would he not explain it?

Xie Lingyu only had this thought in her mind.

"Hu!"

Zhouyang took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

He did not want to argue with Xie Lingyu now. In fact, he could not afford to do so either.

After all, the fragile relationship between the two could not withstand such suspicions and arguments.

"There are some things I can't tell you yet. But one thing is clear: Director Shen and I don't have any relationship other than our work!"

Zhouyang said in a deep voice.

"Zhouyang, if you don't make things clear to me now, I don't see a need for us to continue our relationship."
