Chapter 254 Public opinion fermentation
The security guards on both sides rushed forward, pulled He Jiayu away, and were about to push her to the ground.
"Don't hurt anyone."
In full view of the crowd, Fu Ruoshi wiped the blood from the corner of his lips with the back of his hand and left three words in front of the flash light.
Then, he walked towards the parliament hall under the escort of several burly black security guards.
Although he appeared calm, he still couldn't calm down inside.
Ever since He Jiayu slapped him while pushing her daughter in a wheelchair, he has been labeled a villain.
Now, even if he says a word, it will be made into a big deal.
Even if he said nothing, he knew that he and Zhuo Rui would face a public opinion crisis.
More importantly, he realized that this matter might have been premeditated: he had used public opinion to force Xu Hui into a desperate situation. Now the Xu family was using public opinion to suppress him in the United States, a country that advocated women's rights and human rights. It was completely the right time, place and people.
Before entering the conference hall, he turned around and glanced at the media reporters outside the parliament hall who were ready to move, and in the end only a silent and cold back was left.
It was late at night when Wen Zhixia arrived in Jincheng.
She turned on her phone, and when the signal came back, a piece of news popped up:
Zhuorui CEO was slapped and may be involved in a sex scandal
The news reported that he was slapped by an unknown woman before the hearing.
Below is a picture with a pile of snow-white flash cameras in the foreground. Fu Ruoshi is in the middle. He is dressed in a suit and tie. He looks back slightly at the flash cameras behind him, with an eagle-like sinisterness in his cold eyes.
Who slapped him?
Who could make him look like that?
Wen Zhixia felt something was wrong. In order to confirm how the news came out, she searched for the company information of the media.
From the equity structure chart, she saw that the actual controller was a person named He Jiayu.
Isn’t this Xu Hui’s mother?
It seems that Zhuo Rui’s accident this time was definitely not a coincidence.
It was an obvious act of deliberate revenge.
The Xu and Zhao families did this while Fu Ruoshi was in Guoan and unable to contact the outside world. It can be said that the timing, location and people were all right, and it was an easy question.
Wen Zhixia immediately connected these things together.
So she sent a screenshot of the equity structure to Fu Ruoshi on WeChat: [Beware of the Xu family]
After sending the message, she got off the plane and went through customs.
While picking up my luggage, the phone in my pocket suddenly vibrated.
It's past three o'clock now.
Late-night phone calls are always disturbing.
"Hello, Mrs. Li, what's wrong?" Wen Zhixia picked up the phone.
"Hey, Zhixia, the old lady fainted at home!" Mrs. Li said, "She saw the news about Mr. Fu's company and called him but no one answered. She also called Sister Ling and the chairman but couldn't reach anyone either. She got so anxious..."
Seeing that Mrs. Li was anxious and incoherent, Wen Zhixia quickly helped her sort out her thoughts, "How is the old lady now? Has she found a doctor? Do you need me to come over?"
"Yes, yes, yes," Mrs. Li said. "The doctor will be here soon. It would be great if you could come too!"
Wen Zhixia put down the phone, picked up her luggage without saying a word, and went straight to the taxi area, got in a car and went to Bai Lan's house.
The car drove very fast at night. Forty minutes later, Wen Zhixia arrived at Bai Lan's residence.
Mrs. Li came to pick her up, and Wen Zhixia followed her all the way through the garden, passed the front hall, and came to the bedroom.
Bai Lan has woken up.
She leaned against the bed, her silver hair a little messy and her face a little pale.
"grandmother!"
Wen Zhixia felt a pang in her heart and hurried to the bed.
She hadn't seen Bai Lan for several months. She felt guilty about leaving without saying goodbye last time. When she came back and saw the old man this time, tears welled up in her eyes.
"Grandma, are you okay?" She took Bai Lan's hand and said, "The news is nonsense. Someone is slandering Zhuo Rui. I just came back from the United States. I will explain to you what happened right away. Don't worry."
Seeing Wen Zhixia, a smile appeared on Bai Lan's haggard face.
She reached out and patted the back of Wen Zhixia's hand. "Child, why are you here? It's so late. Aren't you jet-lagged? Are you exhausted?"
"Grandma, I'm in good health. I'm not tired." Wen Zhixia tucked her quilt in and turned to ask the doctor, "Are there any obvious fluctuations in Grandma's physical indicators?"
The doctor replied, "It's not a big problem. The old man's blood pressure is a little high. He just needs some rest and a light diet."
Wen Zhixia breathed a sigh of relief.
After seeing the doctor off, Mrs. Li brought some sweet soup for a midnight snack.
"Zhixia, look, the old man's complexion has improved since you came." Mrs. Li said with relief.
Bai Lan hadn't seen Wen Zhixia for several months. When he saw her, he felt warmed and held her hand, unwilling to let go.
"Baby, why have you lost weight?" Bai Lan touched Wen Zhixia's head. "Where have you been all this time?"
The baby's cry made Wen Zhixia want to cry.
She organized her words and explained to Bai Lan everything about her trip to the United States with Song Ailing, and what happened between Fu Ruoshi and Zhuo Rui, in order to reassure her and tell her not to listen to the rumors outside.
Bai Lan was not too surprised after hearing this.
"Ruo Shi is just like his father, doing things too extreme, and he must have offended many people," Bai Lan sighed, "They only tell me good news and not bad news. Although I am old, my mind is not confused. I have always known that they have offended many treacherous villains, but this villain is the most vindictive. They have always held a grudge and are always looking for opportunities to retaliate..."
Wen Zhixia comforted him, "Grandma, don't worry. Ruo Shi is capable of handling it. You should take good care of your body so that he can work hard outside without any worries."
Bai Lan looked at Wen Zhixia and sighed.
"Child, the Fu family is sorry for you. Now that our grandson has gotten into such a big trouble, you should try to stay away from him. If you get implicated by this, how can I bear it?"
Wen Zhixia felt sad.
In her eyes, grandma is the last purely good person among the older generation of the Fu family. Others hope that their daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law can devote themselves to their sons and guard the family business, but only people like Bai Lan would worry about the safety of outsiders.
"Grandma, he won't implicate me," Wen Zhixia said embarrassedly, "I've implicated him a lot, too."
"That's as it should be," said grandma. "He should listen to you and stick around you. Only by following you can he learn well. If he hangs out with those bad people, it's only a matter of time before something gets into trouble."
Wen Zhixia said with mixed emotions, "Grandma, there are many girls better than me. If I could find someone better than me..."
"Better than you? How come I haven't seen that?" Bai Lan deliberately said with a stern face, "Baby, are you mocking grandma for being worldly-wise?"
Wen Zhixia blushed, "No, no..."
Thinking that her grandmother was in poor health, Wen Zhixia had no choice but to go along with her and feed the porridge in her hand to Bai Lan.
Immediately afterwards, Fu Ruoshi’s message popped up.
Wen Zhixia quickly opened WeChat——
[I lost the PR for the news. I told my grandma it was okay. I have something to do at the company right now and I’ll call her later.]
