Chapter 14

The short video of the Gu Family's eldest young master having a passionate romp with several men quickly spread across every online platform.

Countless netizens following the gossip widened their eyes.

They clicked out of curiosity, then screamed in shock after watching the explosive content.

Within a single day, Gu Minghan's reputation was utterly ruined online. The Gu Family's stock suddenly plunged, throwing the entire company into panic.

Chapter 14

After Gu Minghan's explicit video was exposed online, it caused an enormous uproar. Netizens went on to dig up his sexual orientation and his previous engagement to the Fu Family's eldest daughter. Although the engagement had been broken off not long ago, it was hard not to suspect that this was the reason.

[Gu Minghan and the Gu Family are so shameless. He's gay, but he still wanted to marry a woman?]

[Isn't this blatant marriage fraud? Tricking the Fu Family's eldest daughter into becoming a gay man's wife. Absolutely shameless.]

[It was even a business alliance between the two families. There's no way the Gu Family didn't know about something this huge. Was the whole family covering it up together? Thank goodness they didn't get married. If they actually had, they would've ruined that girl's entire life. I'm a lifelong hater of the Gu Family's businesses now.]

As the scandal's damaging impact spread, the Gu Family's stock plunged dramatically. Eventually, many netizens even began boycotting the Gu Family's products.

The Gu Family had already lost a great deal of business compensating the Fu Family over this matter, hoping those concessions would persuade the Fu Family to let things rest. They had never expected Gu Minghan to be exposed in another scandal this serious. This time, not even the gods could save them.

The Gu Family immediately issued a statement, directly announcing that they were severing ties with Gu Minghan. They declared that this was entirely his personal conduct, washing their hands of him completely.

Everyone online said the Gu Family was heartless and disloyal. Although Gu Minghan's video had a terrible impact, he was still one of their own. Abandoning him outright at a time like this chilled people's hearts.

So now, many people were saying that the Gu Family was rotten from top to bottom. Even if Gu Minghan had bad character, Gu Enterprises was no good either.

Meanwhile, Fu Huaiyan and Su Wanqiao were still attending the auction. After hearing what Su Wanqiao had said about the Chen Family, Fu Huaiyan had become somewhat distracted.

As a result, he paid little attention to the items on the auction stage, until he heard the thoughts of the woman beside him.

So beautiful!

Without even raising his head, Fu Huaiyan immediately snapped out of his thoughts and instructed his assistant.

"Buy it."

"!!!"

A little surprised, Su Wanqiao looked at his expression.

She had noticed that Fu Huaiyan's mind was not on the auction pieces. He had suddenly decided to bid without even looking at what was being auctioned, which genuinely surprised her.

Fu Huaiyan did not need to look at those things. Hearing from Su Wanqiao's thoughts that she liked it, he had simply told his assistant to buy it.

He still did not look at the stage, thinking instead about how to bring down the Chen Family.

The item being auctioned was a sapphire necklace, which sold for 1.92 million. Su Wanqiao had only admired it briefly and had not expected Fu Huaiyan to actually buy it.

A little more time passed.

So pretty.

"Buy it!"

The assistant immediately secured an entirely green jadeite peace pendant for 4.2 million.

"..."

This bird-shaped diamond brooch is pretty too. I refuse to believe Fu Huaiyan will buy this one as well.

Fu Huaiyan said nothing this time.

But his assistant still raised his paddle to bid.

In the end, he successfully bought it for 800,000.

"..."

This time, Su Wanqiao was truly astonished. Could she and Fu Huaiyan really have such similar tastes? Every piece of jewelry she had praised in her mind had been bought by him, without exception. Was this a coincidence or something else? If it was a coincidence, it was far too amazing.

Still, no matter how much he bought, none of it was hers, so there was not much point.

So she thought.

Such good taste. It would be even better if he gave them to me.

"They're yours."

"!!!"

"What did you say?"

Su Wanqiao's beautiful eyes widened, and her voice rose.

Fu Huaiyan said matter-of-factly, "These are all women's jewelry. Of course they're for you."

"Okay."

I'm so happy! Fu Huaiyan is so generous and treats me so well. I might as well tell him about the Chen Family and help him seize the male lead's opportunity while I'm at it.

Hearing this, Fu Huaiyan could not have been happier. Although he and Su Wanqiao had always been a superficial couple, whenever it came to choosing sides, she had always stood with him.

Words could deceive, but a person's inner voice was their truest response. Su Wanqiao was very worried about his safety and the Fu Family's. She was a kind woman.

Fu Huaiyan wondered whether Su Wanqiao liked houses, land, private jets, cruise ships, and things like that.

He would definitely take her shopping another day.

Su Wanqiao had never expected to receive so much priceless jewelry just by attending an auction with Fu Huaiyan. She knew he was rich, but she had not expected him to be this rich.

She decided that she had to keep spending money while she was with the Fu Family. She could not leave with money still unspent.

Their assets will go to someone else in the future anyway. They might as well let me spend more now.

"..."

Fu Huaiyan realized that Su Wanqiao had an obsession with spending money and was always worried about the Fu Family going bankrupt. Her worries were not without reason, and they also came from her deep faith in the "plot." Still, even without all that, he would satisfy this need of his wife's. If she wanted to spend money, she could spend money; if she wanted to shop, she could shop. There was no need for so much scorekeeping between husband and wife. All that mattered was being happy.

After taking Su Wanqiao back to the mansion, Fu Huaiyan received a call from the company, tossed her a gold card, and left.

Before leaving, he told her that the card had no spending limit and that she could swipe it for whatever she wanted.

Looking at the black card gleaming with gold, she silently sighed in admiration.

Ah, where else could I find such a wonderful husband?

The man smiled and left with his mind at ease.

Su Wanqiao picked up her phone to check the news and suddenly saw that Gu Minghan's sex video was being shared frantically all over the internet. When she saw its contents, she was completely stunned, unable to understand what was going on with the video.
