For a time, Weibo was buzzing.

Xu Han had never expected things to blow up this badly. She had only been here for two days—why had she run into something this ridiculous?

The city was full of schemes. She wanted to go back to the countryside.

Tang Yueyue had not expected things to turn out like this either. She hurriedly called in favors to suppress the matter, but none of them worked in

the Entertainment Industry,

so they did not know much about trending-topic PR.

The urgent priority was to get the footage from the baby store and upload it. Then the truth would be clear.

However, the baby store said that, in order to protect customer privacy, it could not release the footage casually.

It was obvious that someone had pulled strings. Wen Yao's husband might be influential, but Tang Yueyue's connections were not bad either. How could they fail to get it? Did they have even more powerful backing?

Xu Han felt rather sorry for Tang Yueyue. After all, she would be returning to that isolated little mountain village tomorrow and could pretend none of this had happened.

But Tang Yueyue was different. She occasionally followed the news and often saw people involved in incidents like this getting doxxed, threatened, or even losing their jobs because of it.

Xu Han felt deeply helpless. Should she ask Gu Yanqing for help?

Just as she was at her wits' end and even preparing to beg Gu Yanqing, she received a message from Tan Yue on WeChat.

Tan Yue: (Image)

Tan Yue: Miss Qiao, is this you?

The image Tan Yue sent was a screenshot of her from that video.

Xu Han felt incredibly awkward when she saw it. Good news never traveled far, but bad news spread a thousand miles. Now the whole world knew she had gotten into a conflict with a pregnant woman and made the news.

Xu Han: Uh, even you know about it? I really am going to become famous across the country now.

Tan Yue: So Miss Qiao already has a child.

Huh? That was what he was focusing on?

When Xu Han saw Tan Yue's message, she imagined the usual romance-novel trope: the CEO fell in love at first sight with a country girl and secretly gave his heart away, only to accidentally discover that her child was already old enough to run errands.

Ahem, ahem.

Xu Han: Yes. Is that so surprising, Mr. Tan?

Tan Yue: It is somewhat surprising.

Xu Han sent him a smiling emoji.

Tan Yue: But judging from the current situation, it seems quite unfavorable for Miss Qiao's side.

Who knew whether the other side had bought online trolls? It had originally been a two-sided argument, but now it was gradually becoming one-sided, with many people cursing Xu Han's side.

And Wen Yao was pregnant, which made her seem even more vulnerable.

Xu Han smiled bitterly. I have a headache over it too, but there's nothing I can do. We'll see if the connections my friend found can resolve it.

If not, she would go beg Gu Yanqing.

Tan Yue: Do you need help?

Xu Han's eyes lit up. Through Miss Tan, she had learned Tan Yue's identity and knew that he was something of a prominent figure. Dealing with something like this should not be too difficult for him.

Besides, his help was far better than begging Gu Yanqing. Xu Han excitedly sent back: Yes, yes, yes!

Tan Yue: All right.

With Tan Yue stepping in, Xu Han finally relaxed. He was formidable too, and his background far surpassed Wen Yao's husband's. There should be no problem if he handled it.

She decided to mail Tan Yue more dried vegetables next time as thanks.

With the matter resolved, Xu Han breathed a sigh of relief. Using Tang Yueyue's kitchen, she boiled some Wonton Wrappers for Koukou. After feeding him, she checked Weibo—which she had only just downloaded onto her phone—and found that the trending topic had indeed been removed.

Moreover, a topic titled "Truth About the Baby Store Incident" had climbed onto the trending list. Xu Han opened it and saw that the first Weibo post contained footage from the moment they met Wen Yao at the baby store to the moment the conflict broke out. It bluntly showed who was right and who was wrong.

Mr. Tan was mighty and impressive!

The comments below had already become one-sided. Everyone was criticizing the pregnant woman, though a few contrarians were still making noise. After looking for a while, Xu Han silently uninstalled Weibo.

She opened WeChat again and sent Tan Yue a message.

Xu Han: I saw Weibo. Thank you!

Tan Yue: It wasn't me. No matter how fast I was, I couldn't have settled this in half an hour. Someone got there before me and resolved it.

Huh, someone had already taken care of it? Who was doing a good deed like Lei Feng without leaving a name?

After Gu Yanqing learned about the matter, he decisively had someone suppress it. He knew how capable people were at doxxing others these days, and he did not want his son to become the subject of public discussion.

At the same time, he sent someone to investigate what had happened. After learning the truth, he had the footage from that time brought over and found a credible marketing account to post it.

He only allowed it to remain up for half a day. Once everyone knew that Wen Yao's side was at fault, he had all related videos removed from the entire internet.

The person he had sent not only brought back the truth, but also a little surprise.

"The reason Miss Qiao and Miss Wen became enemies was supposedly because Miss Qiao had her eye on Miss Wen's wealthy boyfriend and wanted to interfere in their relationship. That was why their grudge ran so deep."

Gu Yanqing: "..."

That did seem like something Qiao Wanqing would do.

Gu Yanqing's feelings became complicated. Based on the Qiao Wanqing he had recently encountered, she was clearly not that kind of person. But judging from how Qiao Wanqing had used despicable means to sleep with him in the past in an attempt to rise through him, she was exactly that kind of person.

Could having a child really have changed her mindset?

That gave Gu Yanqing a few thoughts of investigation. What kind of person was Qiao Wanqing, exactly?

Thinking this, he said, "Go find Wen Yao and her husband. Tell them that if any more unfavorable remarks about Qiao Wanqing appear online, winter has come."

The perfect season for bankruptcy.

"...Understood."

After threatening Wen Yao and her husband, Gu Yanqing looked once more at a video uploaded by a passerby. In the video, Koukou seemed to have just woken up. He drooped against his mother's shoulder, his clear eyes innocently looking ahead, appearing half-asleep. He was especially adorable.
