Rebirth Of The Villainess: Young Master Lu's Wicked Wife

Xiao Yunyao's eyes were stung with tears, but she didn't have any idea what to do now. It was one thing that she was being criticized heavily by the public, comparing her to her older sister, but how was she supposed to fix this problem regarding Yan Prime Holdings?

Although it was considered one of the largest companies in the country, there wasn't much known about the owner of the massive empire as he was almost never seen or talked about. It was as if he didn't want people to know of his existence.

Her father lowered his head and waved a hand, dismissing her from his office. Xiao Yunyao didn't dare to utter another word and left the room in silence. She found her mother waiting outside, pacing in the hallway waiting for her.

"What did he say? Is everything alright?" Her mother asked her hurriedly.

Xiao Yunyao remained silent and ignored her mother's inquiry. She wanted to get out of here. The stress was starting to overwhelm her and she couldn't think of anything at that moment.

"Xiao Yunyao, you come here and explain yourself to me!" She heard her mother calling after her.

Xiao Yunyao turned around and glared at her mother, catching the latter off guard with the look on her face. She had never spoken like this with her mother.

"It's not alright! Isn't it obvious, Mom? I listened to you. I did everything you asked me to. You told me that everything would be fine and Dad would disown Xiao Rufeng, but why is it me being hounded by everyone?" She snapped at her mother, her tears now streaming down her face again.

It was her first time having a breakdown as she had been keeping her gentle facade for too long. It had been hard for Xiao Yunyao to act like a nice girl, keeping it up for as long as she could remember.

"Why don't you deal with it yourself, Mom? Since you were the one who suggested all of these." She sneered.

Her mother stared at her in shock, rendered speechless by her sudden outburst, but Xiao Yunyao didn't care anymore. She turned around and left in a hurry, not giving her mother a chance to interrogate for answers anymore.

She shut herself in her own office and turned off her phone as media personnel were giving her nonstop call to get her side of the story, but she wasn't dumb not to know that it would only fuel the scandal against her. She even went as far as informing her assistant to deflect any calls for her.

Xiao Yunyao had never been dragged into a scandal as massive as this before. It was always her older sister being criticized, most of the time orchestrated by herself to defame Xiao Rufeng.

After crying for some time, she finally calmed down, but she couldn't think of any solutions to deal with her problem. She wanted to try and convince President Yan not to pull out their products from their shopping malls, but she had no idea how to reach the elusive man.

As for her older sister, Xiao Yunyao didn't have time to think of her right now and wondered how she managed to leave the hotel unscathed. She must save herself first and foremost!

Xiao Yunyao remained silent and didn't bother to make a statement, leaving everything to her mother to deal with. She also refused to dine with her mother as she didn't have the guts to face her father too.

With such a huge scandal, a young miss like her who was just starting to make a name for herself, Xiao Yunyao had yet to learn how to tolerate criticisms like this, unlike her older sister who was used to being scrutinized by the media once in a while.

It was already late when she decided to turn on her phone and not one minute later, it had already started ringing, forcing her to answer the call upon seeing the caller ID.

"Hello."

"Yaoyao, I saw the news. Are you alright? Should I come to help you explain to your father?"

The moment she heard the voice through the receiver, Xiao Yunyao burst into tears.

"Brother Jin…"

Xiao Yunyao felt so wronged and aggrieved that she couldn't even speak.

"Don't cry now! I don't believe whatever nonsense they are saying! I'm coming over, Yaoyao. Just wait for me, okay?"

"No, don't!" Xiao Yunyao exclaimed in a hurry. "You don't have to come. I'm alright."

She also didn't want Jin Qiu, her fiancé, to get into an argument with her father. She knew that Jin Qiu would take her side, but it was a different case with her father right now. Xiao Yunyao had never expected that her problem with the lawsuits would suddenly get out of hand the moment she tried to drag her older sister into the issue.

However, hearing her sobbing helplessly made Jin Qiu worry about her even more.

"How can you say you're alright? Tell me exactly what happened. I'll try to ask our associates in the media to take down those articles against you."

Obviously, Xiao Yunyao would never tell him that she schemed against her older sister. Jin Qiu and Xiao Rufeng had a history as childhood friends. She had stepped in between them, seduced Jin Qiu to become her lover, knowing that it would infuriate her sister.

Still, Jin Qiu was still concerned over Xiao Rufeng even if the latter turned cold towards him and never returned any of his calls.

"It's not even your fault that the formula for the face cream was defective. Shouldn't they call out the head of your R&D? My Yaoyao is innocent of all their accusations!"

Xiao Yunyao's face flushed, her nerves finally calming down after hearing his words.

"But Brother Jin, people don't agree with your opinion. Not only are they blaming me for this, they also started comparing me and Feng-jie."

"How could they do such a thing?! You and Xiao Rufeng are two different people. Don't overthink, Yaoyao. The public will eventually forget about it."This chapter is updated by novelenglish.net . Fire(.)nᴇt
