Chapter 407: Chapter 406: Rumors Abound (6)
After the Cheng Group went bankrupt, Mrs. Cheng gradually withdrew from the circle of noblewomen, and coupled with her ill health, she rarely paid attention to gossip. Little did she expect that now she would be hit with such a shocking revelation.
Dong Xin Yan, who has always maintained her reputation, clinging, clinging to another man?
Mrs. Cheng couldn’t believe it. After Mrs. Xu left, she took out her phone and called her former friends one by one. After finishing the calls, Mrs. Cheng’s body trembled, and she nearly couldn’t stand firm due to weak knees.
If one person says it, it might be false, but if everyone says it, it’s not necessarily false. Even as much as Mrs. Cheng trusted Dong Xin Yan, she couldn’t help but waver at this moment.
The eldest son of the Gu Family.
The Gu Family.
Isn’t that the Gu Family that forced the Cheng Group into bankruptcy? It was the eldest son of the Gu Family who deliberately set a trap for Ziyang to step into, eventually leading to the bankruptcy. He even went further by sending Ziyang to the detention center.
This is the eldest son of the Gu Family!
How could Xinxin get involved with him?
Could it be... she met him while running around for Ziyang’s matters? And then used that opportunity to climb up to the eldest son of the Gu Family?
Oh my god.
Mrs. Cheng’s face turned ashen in an instant, and she unconsciously clutched her heart, finding it somewhat difficult to breathe.
Seeing her like this, Sister-in-law Li said worriedly: "Madam, are you okay? Let’s sit over here." Saying this, she reached out to support Mrs. Cheng, but Mrs. Cheng pushed her hand away, forced herself to stand firm, and said coldly, "No need, call the young master and tell him to come home immediately, and bring Dong Xin Yan with him."
They set out happily, but upon returning home, a storm seems to be brewing.
Today, Cheng Ziyang and Dong Xin Yan agreed to go shopping for gifts together and visit Mr. Dong, taking the opportunity to tell him the joyful news of their marriage.
Back then, Dong Xin Yan chose to enter the entertainment circle and become an actress. Mr. Dong firmly opposed it, and they had a big falling out. Over the years, the father-daughter relationship remained very cold. Dong Xin Yan wanted to mend the relationship, but Mr. Dong’s stance was too firm: either she exits the entertainment circle, or she ceases to be his daughter.
But she was searching for her mother and refused to compromise, and they hadn’t had a proper conversation for years.
So today, returning home to visit Mr. Dong, Dong Xin Yan felt a slight apprehension in her heart.
While driving, Cheng Ziyang glanced sideways at her, seeing her anxious expression. He couldn’t help but smile. He controlled the steering wheel with one hand and stretched the other to cover the back of Dong Xin Yan’s hand, speaking gently, "Don’t worry, Dad likes me a lot. He’ll be very happy to see us getting married."
Hearing Cheng Ziyang naturally say "Dad," Dong Xin Yan was suddenly amused, "What dad? It’s not your dad yet, but you’re calling him so smoothly."
"It will be soon," Cheng Ziyang blinked and answered straightforwardly.
His interruption eased Dong Xin Yan’s unease a bit. She curved her lips and reversed her hand to hold Cheng Ziyang’s hand.
Suddenly, Cheng Ziyang’s phone rang. Since he was driving and couldn’t answer, he casually said, "Xinxin, help me take the call."
"Okay." Dong Xin Yan reached into the car’s compartment for the phone, glanced at the caller ID, and said, "It’s from Sister-in-law Li."
As she spoke, she answered the call, "Sister-in-law Li, it’s me, what’s going on?"
Not sure what was said on the other end, but Dong Xin Yan’s expression gradually changed as the atmosphere suddenly became tense. Cheng Ziyang glanced sideways at Dong Xin Yan, his brows slightly furrowed, "Xinxin, what’s wrong?"
