Arc 1: Part 45
Ji Yu?
How did he come?
Tong Su's expression suddenly darkened, saying, "Brother, I'm hanging up, I have to deal with something."
She quickly ended the video call and got up to go outside.
On the other end of the phone, Xi Chen Zhao's eyes grew cold, and with a tap of his finger, he sent a command to his secretary.
"Arrange for me to have dinner with Director Zhang."
Tong Su was unaware of Xi Chen Zhao's actions. She stepped outside to find her assistant nervously standing by the door, looking at her with a troubled expression. Tong Su said, "Let him in."
As soon as the door opened, Ji Yu came rushing in, his handsome face cold and full of fury.
He shoved the assistant aside, pointing at Tong Su's nose as he yelled, "What is going on with you today? Who allowed you to publicly argue with Lan Shuer? Just look at the chaos you caused on Weibo!"
Lan Shuer followed him, entering with her head down and eyes red from tears, glaring at Tong Su with a mix of grievance and anger.
Tong Su, who had been sitting on the sofa playing with her phone, looked up with a cold laugh at the sound of his voice and casually tossed her phone onto the sofa.
"What is going on with me? I should be the one asking you that! Don't you know why I argued with Lan Shuer? Why didn't you step in back then? Weren't you too scared to show your face? Now that you've seen unsavory comments on Weibo, you're rushing over here to take it out on me?"
"Xi Tong Su! What kind of language is that?" Ji Yu's face darkened as he yelled, "Tell your assistant to leave so I can have a serious conversation with you!"
"No thank you, seeing how you are now, I'm afraid you might resort to violence. Shouldn't I keep some safety measures?"
Ji Yu was so infuriated that he clenched his fist. The assistant, sensing this, instinctively moved in front of Xi Tong Su, warning Ji Yu, "Mr. Ji, please behave."
Choking with anger, Ji Yu kicked the sofa hard, "Tong Su, I don't care if you want to compete with Lan Shuer, but you need to go on Weibo and clear up the comments about me immediately! Your fans are all accusing me of cheating; you need to handle it now."
"Oh? Clear up that you've cheated? Does that mean you didn't?" Tong Su sneered lightly with an icy look, sweeping her gaze over Lan Shuer who stood silently behind, "What you don't want people to know, you mustn't do yourself. Since you dared to do it, why can't you admit it?"
Lan Shuer's heart clenched at Tong Su's words. She thought to herself, 'This can't be good; Xi Tong Su must know!' What was she about to do, were they about to have a falling out?
She originally planned to play innocent, pushing Ji Yu to take the heat. But now, even pretending to be meek wouldn't work as she burst into tears, sobbing, "Tong Su, what do you mean by that? What cheating? Do you have any proof? You can't just tarnish our reputation like that!"
Ji Yu was increasingly agitated, hearing this, he quickly followed up, "Right! Do you have any evidence? Do you have concrete proof that I'm having an affair with Lan Shuer? Don't forget, at the fashion banquet a month ago, you personally cleared up the rumors for us. Now you're claiming I'm having an affair with Lan Shuer, whose face are you slapping?"
The assistant couldn't help but retort, "Mr. Ji, your words are going too far!"
"You shut up, who do you think you are to speak here? Get lost!"
Ji Yu impatiently scolded the assistant and reached out to slap her. Tong Su, in a fit of anger, pulled the assistant back, seizing Ji Yu's arm and yanking it down sharply, "You dare to hit someone?"
Ji Yu was momentarily hot-blooded and replied without thinking, "Of course I dare! Xi Tong Su, you either offer respect willingly or you'll be forced to do so. I've put up with you for so many years. If you want to push me till I have no other choice, you'll see what I'm capable of doing!"
"Ji Yu! Aren't you scared that I'll record a video, capturing all these words you've just said?"
