Chapter 40.1
The sun was shining brightly outside, but the atmosphere in the office was tense and silent.
The messy barrage came one after another, making it hard to see through. The more Fu Yanhe looked at it, the angrier he became. After a moment, he couldn’t help but laugh in anger.
A group of keyboard warriors, who had nothing to do and wasted their days, vented their negative emotions on the Internet, likely because their lives were unsatisfactory. They treated the virtual space as if they were real characters.
“The company’s legal department is pretty busy, right?” Fu Yanhe said suddenly.
Secretary Xu understood immediately and answered, “Don’t worry, Mr. Fu, the legal department will definitely safeguard Mr. Gu’s legal rights and protect his reputation.”
Fu Yanhe nodded slightly, thinking that if anyone slandered his wife online, he would sue them without hesitation. With his wealth, he could afford to be wilful and take legal action.
However, Fu Yanhe’s furrowed brows still didn’t relax.
Some keyboard warriors had nothing to do and pried into other people’s privacy every day, publishing someone’s private life, which was commonly known as doxing. If the person had anything to do with the entertainment industry, they would most likely face online violence. If someone dug up his wife’s personal information, then those fans, crazy and unreasonable, might do something extreme to his wife.
Therefore, Gu Mingxu did it on purpose. He mentioned his wife’s name in front of the public to cause trouble for his wife. In the entertainment industry, which seemed glamorous but was actually a smoky, shady place, some people would drag their relatives and friends into the mess.
Gu Mingxu truly worked hard.
His wife’s personal safety had to be considered. How many bodyguards should be arranged for him?
Or he could be his wife’s personal bodyguard, which would also be a good idea.
He could also relive his school days by going on dates with his wife on campus, in the woods, in the library… These would all be new dating spots they had not tried yet, and they would be very fresh.
By then, Fu Yanhe was in a slightly better mood. Almost without much hesitation, he decided it would be better to protect his wife himself. He could not allow his wife to even think about other men, not even bodyguards.
“By the way, is there any news about his biological parents?”
Fu Yanhe asked Secretary Xu without raising his head.
The person Fu Yanhe was referring to was Gu Mingxu.
Even though Fu Yanhe was busy either with work or hanging around in front of Gu Wenning every day to make his presence felt, he seemed to not care much about Gu Mingxu, but how could he not care at all? He was the heartthrob protagonist, blessed by the aura of a chosen son of heaven.
However, he, the awakened cannon fodder, was unmoved by the heartthrob. This could cause a butterfly effect. Whether the result was good or bad was still uncertain. It was necessary to pay attention to Gu Mingxu’s situation.
It was Fu Yanhe who had asked people to investigate Gu Mingxu’s biological parents. He was not purely benevolent and wanting to help Gu Mingxu find his biological parents and reunite the family, but simply wanted to know everything about Gu Mingxu. Knowing the enemy’s background and life would help him fight a hundred battles without danger.
Fu Yanhe had a hunch that as long as he didn’t follow the dream he had and give everything he had for Gu Mingxu, he and Gu Mingxu would sooner or later come to opposite sides.
It was not difficult to predict this. Fu Yanhe, who only had eyes for his wife, noticed that Gu Mingxu’s eyes were not eyes, his nose was not a nose, and he didn’t like anything after learning about the unfair treatment Gu Wenning had received in the Gu family over the years.
Moreover, the Gu family also wanted Gu Mingxu to replace Gu Wenning in the marriage. Regardless of whether it was Gu Mingxu’s original intention or his instigation and suggestion, Fu Yanhe placed the responsibility on Gu Mingxu anyway. Who made him the one with benefit? And it happened to be at the cost of losing Gu Wenning.
“Not yet,” Secretary Xu said truthfully.
It was not easy to investigate what had happened more than ten or twenty years ago. Things had changed, people had changed, and there were no clues available. It was difficult to find people related to Gu Mingxu in the vast sea of people. Fu Yanhe knew this, so he didn’t criticize Secretary Xu’s answer, but felt that it was expected.
.
At seven o’clock in the evening, a villa on the outskirts of the city was brightly lit.
There were many guests in the courtyard. The male guests were well-dressed in suits and leather shoes, while the female guests were elegant in well-dressed attire.
The banquet that everyone had gathered for was a charity party held by the Yin family. It had survived for a hundred years. The Yin family, which started from real estate, held a position in the business world that could not be underestimated. Anyone who could be invited would be proud of it.
The Fu family was also invited.
Mr. Fu and Mrs. Fu didn’t know where in the world they were, so naturally, it was Fu Yanhe who attended the banquet.
Originally, Fu Yanhe hadn’t wanted to come, and it wouldn’t have been impossible to find an excuse to refuse. However, Fu Yanhe thought about it and came anyway.
Because he wanted to meet Yin Shenghuan, the prospective heir of the Yin family.
Why was he said to be a prospective heir? Because there was only one Yin Shenghuan among the younger generation of the Yin family. He had no brothers and sisters, at least in the Yin family. Under such circumstances, it was only a matter of time before Yin Shenghuan would take over the Yin family’s company.
But there were exceptions in many things, such as the inheritance of the Yin family.
Yin Shenghuan’s mother, Yin Ruoyu, was a well-known businesswoman and entrepreneur. After taking over the responsibility of the company from her father, the outside world was full of negative voices at that time, and everyone thought that women were inferior to men, and the Yin family would definitely fall.
However, reality severely slapped those who wanted to see the joke, and were full of feudalism and sexism. Since Yin Ruoyu had taken over the company, the Yin family not only hadn’t gone downhill but had become more prosperous and developed steadily.
