Julia Yu put down her dress, folded her arms, and stood in the corridor, expressionless as she watched their exaggerated performance.
It seemed that everyone knew what was going to happen today—everyone except her, who had been left out.
Apparently, I’ve been acting too gentle lately, so now they all think I’m easy to bully?
Julia Yu calmly took out her phone and made a call: "Bring more people over, and call a few celebrity bloggers. Hurry—I know you’re all upstairs. I’m on the 11th floor. I want to see you in five minutes."
Just now, it wasn’t only company heads greeting Julia Yu—there were also many people from the entertainment industry.
At first, Julia Yu found all these coincidences annoying, but now it seemed their appearance was perfectly timed.
Sure enough, four minutes later, a group of people came running from the stairwell.
Afraid of delaying Julia Yu, they didn’t dare take the elevator and came straight up the stairs.
Seeing them arrive, Julia Yu didn’t wait for questions and immediately ordered, "Turn on your phone cameras and go into that room. No matter what happens, record everything and upload it online!"
"Yes, yes, yes." Although most of them didn’t know what was going on, the setup was clearly for catching someone in the act—most could guess something big was happening!
Besides, Chief Assistant Yu was truly angry now!
That group didn’t dare ask questions; they really turned on their phone cameras and went in one by one.
As soon as they entered, they were stunned!
Whoa, what a scene!
There were people inside recording too, but both the ones filming and the ones being filmed looked totally confused.
On the bed lay two pale, naked people, staring blankly at everyone.
Then a crowd stood by the bed, dazed—clearly confused why the people on the bed had changed.
At that moment, someone screamed, "Sean Young, didn’t you say you were sleeping with Julia Yu tonight? How did it turn into Lisa Li? What’s going on?"
The dazed Sean Young suddenly snapped out of it and looked back. Sure enough...
The person lying next to him was, unmistakably, Lisa Li.
And Lisa Li?
With all the commotion, she finally woke up slowly.
When she opened her eyes and saw the crowd, her pupils shrank and she screamed, "Who are you? Why are you here? What do you want?"
Everyone in the room was stunned.
What on earth is going on?
A few quick-witted celebrity bloggers immediately caught on and started asking, "Miss Lisa Li, you and this gentleman appeared here together—what is your relationship? Are you lovers? Did you report to Mr. Mo? Are you planning to marry this man?"
"Sir, may I interview you? How did you meet Lisa Li? Are you in a relationship? Do you know Lisa Li’s background?"
"When do you plan to get married? Have you kept your relationship secret because you didn’t want Mr. Mo to know?"
......
In an instant, the crowd surrounded Sean Young and Lisa Li.
Even though the people involved were just as confused, they knew now wasn’t the time for conversation.
"Get out, get out, all of you!" Sean Young shouted angrily. "Who let you in here? Go, go, go—get out!"
The people Chief Assistant Yu had called, having completed their task, sensibly left the room.
Seeing Chief Assistant Yu still waiting in the corridor, they looked at her fawningly: "Chief Assistant Yu, next..."
"You’re all skilled writers, so I’ll leave the reporting to you," Chief Assistant Yu said with a cold smile. "Make sure you write it so those two can never break up. Understand?"
"Understood, understood. We’ll head back now." They quickly put away their phones, exchanged glances, and hurried off.
Isn’t it obvious?
They’d clearly offended Chief Assistant Yu!
And Mr. Mo had even tacitly approved this!
They already knew exactly how to write this story.
Chief Assistant Yu’s expression grew even colder.
This matter isn’t over today!
Sean Young’s friends pretended to catch them in the act because he’d told them to.
In other words, Sean Young had feelings for her, but didn’t want a real relationship—he just wanted a shortcut.
This banquet was organized by Lisa Li, so she was in on it too.
But somewhere along the way, Lisa Li got herself caught up in it.
To put it bluntly, they were working together—both aiming to ruin her reputation.
Heh.
Such schemers.
But this time, don’t blame me for being ruthless!
Chief Assistant Yu didn’t even go in—she turned and left the hotel.
She needed to think about how to report today’s events to Max Mo.
The room was finally cleared, leaving only Sean Young and Lisa Li.
Both of them looked at each other, faces dark, and asked in unison, "How did this happen?"
Annoyed, Sean Young threw off the covers and saw the mess on the sheets, but not what he’d hoped for. His face darkened instantly: "I should be asking you that. You promised I’d get what I wanted tonight, so why are you here instead of Chief Assistant Yu?"
Lisa Li was furious too: "How should I know? I drugged her—I saw her drink it! Why am I here? Did you do this?"
"You?" Sean Young sneered at Lisa Li. "Do you really think you’re worthy? Sure, you have the Mo Family behind you, but you’re not their real heiress. Did you think I’d care? Chief Assistant Yu is different—she’s a true member of the Mo Consortium, practically as important as any Mo Family insider. Besides, Miss Lisa Li, you keep saying Chief Assistant Yu isn’t a virgin, but you’re not one yourself, are you?"
Lisa Li’s face turned pale instantly.
Her body began to tremble: "What did you say?"
"You think I wouldn’t notice?" Sean Young laughed coldly. "Looks like you’ve been played and wanted me to take responsibility?"
"Bastard!" Hearing Sean Young’s words, Lisa Li finally lost control. She jumped up and slapped him across the face!
Lisa Li’s sharp nails scratched Sean Young’s face, making him look even colder and more sinister.
"Let’s just pretend nothing happened today." Sean Young picked up his clothes from the floor and left without looking back. "I never want to see you again."
Lisa Li heard the door slam shut and sat there in a daze, unable to recover for a long time.
All she could think was, "It’s over. Everything is over!"
But neither Sean Young nor Lisa Li realized—this was just the beginning.
The real trouble was yet to come.
Half an hour later, countless websites and video platforms were flooded with censored videos.
The videos, edited for effect, exposed that the adopted daughter of the Mo Consortium’s president was having a tangled romance with a nouveau riche second-generation heir. Because they feared Max Mo would oppose their relationship, they kept it secret.
At the same time, someone ghostwrote a lengthy article describing how Lisa Li and Sean Young fell in love at first sight, but suffered because their vastly different backgrounds kept them apart.
Then, Lisa Li asked the Mo Consortium’s only female Chief Assistant for help, using her promotion celebration as an excuse to invite her secret lover to meet.
When the two met, sparks flew—they couldn’t care less about the guests below and secretly slipped upstairs, where something indescribable happened.
Then someone dug up Lisa Li’s family background and her father’s relationship with the Mo Consortium’s president.
Some said the president of the Mo Consortium always treated Lisa Li like a daughter and naturally didn’t want her to marry beneath her station. But love is powerful—Lisa Li still fell for the unruly second-generation heir Sean Young. They were the same age, had the same interests, and their feelings deepened until they finally made a mistake.
Sean Young’s parents were stunned when they heard the news.
Hadn’t their son clearly said he didn’t like Lisa Li?
How could something like this happen with Lisa Li?
When Lisa Li saw the reports, she panicked.
She kept calling Chief Assistant Yu, but no one answered, no matter how long the phone rang.
Lisa Li finally realized things were bad.
Does Chief Assistant Yu know everything now?
How could she not answer the phone?
Why doesn’t she step up and explain?
She’s Mo Zixin’s Chief Assistant—if she speaks, the media will believe her!
Answer the phone, Chief Assistant Yu! Pick up!
But no matter how many times Lisa Li called, Chief Assistant Yu seemed to have vanished—there was no response at all.
Unwilling to give up, Lisa Li turned to call Mo Zixin.
But the calls were either answered by someone else or went unanswered—clearly, no one was going to help her clean up the mess!
"No, you can’t do this to me! You can’t just abandon me!" Lisa Li screamed, "I’m innocent! I don’t know anything! It really has nothing to do with me! I don’t even know why I was in that room—it should’ve been Chief Assistant Yu! How did it end up like this?"
At that critical moment, Mo Zixin, who had remained silent until now, finally spoke up publicly.
He recorded a video—in it, Max Mo was stunningly handsome: "I’ve just learned about Lisa Li and Sean Young’s situation, and I feel deeply remorseful. I was so busy with work that I didn’t realize the kids had started dating long ago. That’s my mistake, and I sincerely apologize to everyone. Lisa Li’s father was my friend; before he passed, he entrusted his daughter to me, and I’ve always treated her as my own. I just wanted her to have a stable marriage. As for the boy, I have no objections. On the contrary, as long as the kids truly love each other, I’m happy for them. Now, on behalf of the girl’s family, I formally ask the boy’s side: Are you willing to unite our families?"
The moment the video was released, countless people went wild online: "Dad, do you need another daughter? I eat, sleep, and tell jokes!"
"My husband is still so handsome, I’m swooning!"
