Mr. Ling's eyes widened in disbelief: "How...how could there be such a ridiculous rumor? Who did this?"
"It should be the Su family, right? They must have found some clues and know that the young lady is now in contact with you, the old man. The Su family didn't know that the young lady is your daughter, so they used this to start a counterattack. Old man, you have to clarify that you and Miss Su
Is it related to?"
"Let me think about it! Let me think about it!" Mr. Ling got up and paced around the room.
If he clarifies that Sumanni is his daughter, then all the things Sumanni did cannot be justified.
His previously fabricated identity of Sumanni as a weakling would be greatly undermined by the news that she was bullied by a wealthy lady.
In the fight between two wealthy ladies, no one is weak. What do the people who have always sympathized with and supported Su Manni think?
Anyone with a little bit of brains knows that this matter is not that simple. The Ling family must have staged such a drama behind the scenes to use netizens to attack the Su family.
In this way, netizens who feel fooled will turn their guns against the Ling family. It is obvious to everyone how badly the Su family has been scolded before. The Ling family manipulated the entire incident, and Mr. Ling feels that he cannot bear the consequences of the backlash.
Of course, there is another reason why Mr. Ling did not even tell Ling Xiao, that is, Mr. Ling never intended to legitimately acknowledge Su Manni's identity.
If he recognizes Su Manni, what will his old wife at home think of him, what will his adult children think of him, and the image he has worked so hard to maintain will definitely collapse.
Therefore, Mr. Ling had no intention of announcing Su Manni's identity at all.
His idea all along was to stabilize Su Manni and help him win over the Bai family, while the family had to find a way to hide it and prevent a fire in the backyard.
So he couldn't clarify that Sumani was his daughter, but if he didn't clarify that Sumani was his daughter, he would have to watch rumors flying around, and his daughter being rumored to be his mistress.
This is disgusting no matter how you think about it, so what should he think of to deal with it?
Mr. Ling walked around the room again and again, and finally stopped and made up his mind: "Withdraw the bodyguards from the hospital immediately. It is clarified that Sumanni's matter has nothing to do with the Ling family. Send a lawyer's letter to the marketing account that spreads rumors that Sumanni is my mistress!"
"
"This... old man, do you mean to let Su Manni handle everything by herself?" Ling Xiao had a look of astonishment on her face.
"Do you think I'm ruthless? I also want to help her, but now I can't solve the problem with my help. I can't help her. Now if I step in for Sumanni, things will get worse. You know? For the Ling family, I
I can’t stand out anymore!”
Mr. Ling had an unbearable expression on his face: "As long as the Ling family has nothing to do, she will have nothing to do. If the Ling family is involved, the impact on the company will definitely not be small. Besides, it's not like she has never been raped online before.
If we don't come forward this time, she will at most suffer a few days of online harassment, and everyone will forget about it after the storm."
Is this what a father said to his daughter? Ling Xiao felt a little cold. Even if he treats his own daughter like this, others can imagine.
He didn't say anything more and agreed to retreat.
Mr. Ling sighed heavily and sat down on the chair.
He could see Ling Xiao's expression clearly, and he was afraid that Ling Xiao would be heartbroken if he treated Su Manni like this, but what could he do?
For his reputation and the Ling family, he had no choice.
Early in the morning in the United States, Aaron drove a LX570 and slowly followed Ye Chen's phantom.
The phantom drove into the parking lot of the building where Ye Chen worked. Ye Chen and his assistant got out of the car and entered the elevator, while Aaron sat patiently in the car and waited.
Two hours later, Ye Chen got into the car again accompanied by his assistant and bodyguard.
The car drove out of the parking lot and Aaron followed immediately. Ye Chen's car stopped at the door of the flower shop. The assistant got out of the car and bought a bouquet of perfume lilies, then got in the car and left.
Half an hour later, the car stopped in the hospital parking lot.
Ye Chen got out of the car with the flowers and his assistant and entered the inpatient department. Aaron did not wait in the car this time, but got out of the car and followed Ye Chen and his assistant into the inpatient department.
He deliberately stayed some distance behind and waited for Ye Chen and his assistant to enter the elevator before following him.
Looking at the E5 number displayed on the elevator, Aaron stopped and thought for a few minutes before turning and leaving.
After buying lilies, he went to the inpatient department. It was obvious that Ye Chen was here to see patients. Aaron followed him all the way. Naturally, he would not foolishly continue to follow and investigate. Knowing that the patient Ye Chen wanted to see was in E5, he
Just ask around later, he has other things to do now.
Aaron left the hospital and went to a nursing home, where he had made an appointment yesterday to meet an old servant from the Ye family.
That was the servant of the father of the Ye family. He was already in his early nineties. He was the person who had stayed in the Ye family the longest. He should know a lot about the Ye family.
Aaron entered the room accompanied by the courtyard. The old servant of the Ye family was in good spirits and sat in a rocking chair listening to music. After communicating with him for a few words, the courtyard gestured for Aaron to come over.
Aaron greeted him politely and took out Ye Chen's photo: "Do you know him?"
The old servant took the photo and took a look at it, "Of course I know him. Isn't this Master Chen?"
"He is also from the Ye family?"
"Yes, he is from the Ye family, but his status is a bit special. He is not technically a member of the Ye family."
"Old man, can you tell me in detail the identity of Master Chen?"
"This...this matter is related to the privacy of the Ye family. The Ye family has been very kind to me and is extremely benevolent. I'm sorry, I can't tell outsiders about the master's family..." The old servant has feelings for the Ye family and doesn't want to tell others.
People tell stories about the Ye family.
"I'm not an outsider. Old man, do you still remember Miss Zhen? Miss Ye Zhen?"
"Of course I remember. I watched Miss Zhen grow up. Miss Zhen is very beautiful and kind-hearted. She is good to all our servants. But Miss Zhen is a good person and her life is short!" When mentioning Ye Zhen, the old servant's tone was full of regret.
.
"I am the personal bodyguard of Miss Zhen's son, and this is our young master." Aaron showed the old servant a photo of He Yucheng.
The old servant looked surprised when he saw He Yucheng's photo: "He looks very much like Miss Zhen, and also looks very similar to Master Chen. No wonder... no wonder..."
"What's the wonder?" Aaron asked.
"Since you are the bodyguard of Miss Zhen's son and you are also a member of the Ye family, I won't hide it from you. This Master Chen is the grandson of the old lady's illegitimate daughter. The old lady gave birth to an illegitimate daughter after being tricked by a woman.
To give birth to a daughter, that woman was so vicious that she even tried to threaten the old man to have a family through an illegitimate daughter.
How could the old man be threatened by her? He immediately called the police. The woman was arrested and imprisoned for extortion. The illegitimate daughter was taken away by someone who conspired with the woman and her whereabouts are unknown. Later, both the old man and his wife passed away, so they went to jail again.
No one paid attention to the illegitimate daughter. Until one day."
