After five years on the run, she returns with two cute babies

Chapter 1177: Shocking News

“Grandpa wouldn’t gamble with the Xiao family’s reputation. If he wanted to slander you, he could have used other methods,” Xiao Mingyang said slowly, his gaze deep. “But the way things have turned out is actually to his advantage, so he’s trying to fish in troubled waters and gain some benefits.”

With her head tilted slightly, Lin Yuqing sighed inwardly, wondering when this life full of calculations would finally end.

……

When Bob saw the magazine, he knew his good days were over. But he was grateful for everything Lin Yuqing had given him, and he didn't want to cause her any trouble, so before she could even say anything, he started packing his things and preparing to leave.

Lin Yuqing felt very sorry for Bob's departure and had someone give him a large sum of money as compensation. However, Bob refused to accept it. This was not because he was particularly noble, but because Bob had a ulterior motive: he hoped to return to the Xiao family after the storm had passed.

Standing by the window, Lin Yuqing crossed her arms and looked down at little Bob, who was holding a suitcase and standing on the street waiting for a taxi.

As Lin Yuqing expected, as soon as Bob appeared, reporters swarmed around him and surrounded him completely.

Bob wanted to leave, but the reporters were persistent and he had no chance to get away.

Suddenly, a car pulled up outside the reporters' area, and two burly men got out, shoving the reporters aside. Taking advantage of the chaos, they dragged Bob into the car and sped away.

Looking at the license plate of the car, Lin Yuqing frowned slightly and murmured softly, "That's not a car sent by Mingyang..."

Sitting nervously in the car, Bob clutched his suitcase tightly, looking warily at the woman opposite him, and asked, "Who are you? Are you trying to kidnap me?!"

Joanna scoffed and said, "What good would it do me to kidnap you?"

“Then you can just drop me off,” Bob said, seeing that there were no reporters outside. “I can just take a taxi here and leave.”

“You’re so naive,” Joanna rolled her eyes at Bob, pointed to a gray minivan following behind, and said, “See that car? There are reporters from a gossip magazine inside. As soon as you get out of the car, they’ll rush up with their cameras and microphones. Even if you don’t say anything, they can still fabricate some scandalous story about you and Lin Yuqing.”

"These people are absolutely despicable! Nothing has happened between the young mistress and me, so what right do they have to spread such nonsense!"

Seeing Bob's angry expression, Joanna rested her chin on her hand and said with a smile, "If you feel wronged, you can hire a lawyer to sue them, but only if you are very rich."

It must be said that the woman in front of him was very beautiful, enough to make anyone stop and stare. However, the timing of her appearance was so strange that Bob had to be cautious and asked, "Who are you, and why do you know so much about these things?"

"I'm just a kind-hearted person. I couldn't bear to see you taking advantage of me like this." Joanna leaned closer to Bob, revealing a seductive smile, and said softly, "You silently took the blame for Lin Yuqing, but in the end, she kicked you out. That's so unfair."

"I can't stand seeing the weak being bullied, so if you're willing to do as I say, I'll not only clear your name, but I'll also give you a huge fortune! How about it, are you willing to listen to my advice?"

Bob stared straight at Joanna, seemingly bewitched, and slowly nodded.

……

After several days of investigation, Xiao Mingyang has located the private investigator who took the photos. However, the investigator has already flown to Japan, and it will take some time to apprehend him.

However, Xiao Mingyang was confident that he would soon find the detective, pry him open, and make him reveal who the real culprit was, thus clearing Yuqing's name.

But before he could find that person, a shocking piece of news broke out—

"What, Bob is holding a press conference?"

Ah Jiu lowered his head, his face grim, and nodded, saying, "Yes, I heard that it was that woman Joanna who found him and encouraged him to hold a press conference. Master, I'm worried that Bob will be swayed by Joanna and spout nonsense at the press conference. Should I go and deal with him first?"

Xiao Mingyang rejected the suggestion without even thinking about it.

With a slight frown, Xiao Mingyang walked to the window, looked at the azure sky, and said in an icy voice, "Dealing with Bob is simple, but what about afterwards? The Booker family will definitely use this as an excuse to continue smearing Yuqing. And without Bob's testimony, they can act even more recklessly. I will never allow such a thing to happen!"

Ah Jiu lowered her head even further and said, "It was my oversight."

Xiao Mingyang didn't notice Ajiu's guilt, but instead asked, "When is the press conference scheduled?"

"The Kempinski Hotel three days later."

After a moment's hesitation, Xiao Mingyang asked again, "Do you know where Bob is now?"

“I know, he’s in the Booker family. Joanna protects him very well; outsiders can’t get close to Bob at all.”

“We can’t get close? That’s fine too,” Xiao Mingyang suddenly raised his eyebrows and said coldly, “This way, we can clear ourselves of suspicion and make the final result more convincing!”

Ajiu didn't understand what Xiao Mingyang meant. She looked up at him and saw Xiao Mingyang's profile, which showed his determination.

This expression reassured Ajiu, making her feel as if there was no problem she couldn't solve as long as she followed Xiao Mingyang.

"Go and get ready. Yuqing and I will also be attending this press conference."

Ajiu's heart tightened, but she still lowered her head and replied, "...Yes."

After Ajiu left, Xiao Mingyang leaned against the floor-to-ceiling glass with one hand, a bloodthirsty smile on his lips, and murmured softly: Joanna, since you want to play, then let's play a big game!

……

The doorbell rang briefly, signaling the arrival of another customer. The bartender looked up and gave the customer a friendly smile.

However, the sexy woman wearing sunglasses ignored him and walked straight to a table in the corner, sat down casually, and looked impatient.

"Speak, why did you ask me to come out?"

Setting down his glass, Wilson looked at Joanna across from him ingratiatingly and said, "I'm calling you out at this crucial moment because it's important! You've made Lin Yuqing suffer so much; she's even afraid to go to the company now, hiding away all day. I wonder if you're satisfied?"

With a cold snort, Joanna removed her sunglasses and said ruthlessly, "What's this little punishment! I'll make sure Lin Yuqing leaves England penniless and utterly humiliated!!!"
