The voice from the phone was so loud it made Gu Yunxi's eardrums ache. Clearly, the call was from Gu Qianqiu. Since she had already done it, Gu Yunxi naturally wasn't afraid that Gu Qianqiu would find out.

Thus, Gu Yunxi spoke into the phone, "I've held a press conference today to clarify that I have nothing to do with Murong Bai, to let you all know that I don't like that jerk, and to further let you know it will never be possible between us!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Qianqiu at the other end of the line was instantly furious, almost driven to rage by Gu Yunxi.

Cough, cough~

After a couple of dry coughs, Gu Qianqiu scolded, "Gu Yunxi, I now order you to cancel the press conference, or I'll revoke your rights. You better not doubt what I say, or try me!"

"Do as you please!" Gu Yunxi shouted coquettishly, "Since I've already held the press conference, I've prepared for all of this!"

"Have you considered the consequences?"

"Consequences? I don't need to know. As long as I know it now, it's enough!" Gu Yunxi said.

"You..."

"If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up!"

"Gu Yunxi, listen to me, if you don't cancel the press conference, the Gu Family won't have you as a grand..."

"Beep beep~"

Gu Qianqiu's words were cut off as the beep beep~ sound came from the other end of the line, making him snort, "Hung up... actually hung up on me. Well, Gu Yunxi, so your wings have hardened now, huh?"

Standing up, Gu Qianqiu was just about to go out when another call came in. He glanced at the caller ID, and immediately deflated.

"Finished... it's over, has the Murong Family come to hold us accountable?" Gu Qianqiu's face turned pale, and even his wrinkled hands trembled slightly, yet he still pressed the answer key, "Hello, President Murong, Greetings!"

"Greetings? What's so good about it? I'm not doing well!" Murong Yunlong's voice was cold on the other end. He continued, "Have you let the whole world know about the Murong Family's embarrassment? Hmph... Gu Qianqiu, I warn you, if you want Gu Corporation to continue to survive, you'd better have your granddaughter cancel the press conference, or else you know the consequences!"

Murong Family had indeed put themselves in a difficult position. Given Murong Family's status in Fengzhou City, how could they lose face like this?

"President Murong, I will handle this matter carefully, rest assured!"

"How can I feel assured?" Murong Yunlong snorted coldly, "The press conference is about to start!"

"I will go stop it now!"

"You'd better!" Murong Yunlong shouted, "If it weren't for my son's deep feelings for Gu Yunxi, do you think Gu Family could even dream of climbing high to Murong Family?"

With that, Gu Qianqiu directly hung up the phone.

"Dad, what's wrong?" Murong Bai asked from the hospital bed.

"Nothing, take care of yourself, I'll be right back!" Murong Yunlong said to Murong Bai. With Murong Tiancheng dead, Murong Bai had become his only son, and thus needed to be protected even more.

Murong Tiancheng's death naturally required accountability.

"Is it something about Yunxi?" Murong Bai asked.

"No!"

"Something definitely happened!" Murong Bai didn't believe it and got up from the bed, making Murong Yunlong's expression shocked, "Xiao Bai, what are you doing?"

"I'm going to find Yunxi!" Murong Bai said.

Ever since he was beaten by Xiao Tianyu at Gu Yunxi's house last time, unease had lingered in his heart, always feeling that Gu Yunxi would be involved with Xiao Tianyu.

Moreover, his woman hadn't... and yet was cheapened by another man, damn, that's too much of a loss.

"Your injury!"

"I'm fine!" Murong Bai said, even with his arms in casts, nothing could stop his urge to reclaim his dignity.

...

Gu Corporation, the core of power, the CEO's office.

At this moment, Xiao Tianyu was still sitting on the sofa with crossed legs, playing games on his phone, making Gu Yunxi quite angry. This bastard hadn't even explained how he got in.

If everyone in the world were like this bastard, then doors wouldn't need locks.

What made Gu Yunxi even more vexed was that she didn't even know how Xiao Tianyu got out of the car, suspecting perhaps this damn might just be a ghost.

Thus Gu Yunxi asked with irritation, "How did you get into my office!"

"Of course, I walked in!" Xiao Tianyu said while continuing to play games.

This... Where have I heard this before? Gu Yunxi looked at Xiao Tianyu puzzled. Could this bastard have a master key? But that doesn't make sense, didn't they say this lock can't be opened with a master key? It's all lies.

Gu Yunxi, in a rage, breathed heavily, "Xiao Tianyu, you... Hmph... I won't bother with you!"

"Bother, does it help?" Xiao Tianyu glanced at Gu Yunxi and continued playing his game. Gu Yunxi glared fiercely at Xiao Tianyu, but ignored him. She checked her watch, it was nearly eight-thirty.

Gu Yunxi dialed the speakerphone, and Xiao Yan walked in.

Gu Yunxi raised her beautiful eyes and asked, "How is the press conference arranged?"

"It's all set, all the reporters have been invited to the conference hall!" Xiao Yan replied.

"Good!" Gu Yunxi nodded, clicked on her heels towards Xiao Tianyu, who was absorbed in his game, grabbed his phone, and said, "Come with me!"

"For what!"

"To hold a press conference!"

"Do I still need to go?"

"What do you think?" Gu Yunxi glared at Xiao Tianyu, you're the male lead, without you how can the drama continue?

Xiao Tianyu spoke, "Hey beauty, return my phone, let me finish this round... Hey hey, don't put it in your pocket, my game isn't over yet... why are you pulling my shirt again, steady... steady, pull too hard and it'll tear!"

At this moment, Xiao Tianyu was bewildered, dammit, I haven't finished my game yet.

...

Conference Room.

At this moment, dozens of reporters were gathered, seated orderly, just waiting for Gu Yunxi's arrival. Today Gu Yunxi was going to announce her boyfriend's identity and clarify her relationship with Murong Bai.

However, instead of Gu Yunxi, they saw Gu Yunxi's grandfather, Gu Qianqiu.

Gu Qianqiu's arrival immediately sparked a media frenzy.

A reporter approached first, "Mr. Gu, hello, we're hearing that today Gu Yunxi is holding a press conference to clear up her relationship with Murong Bai, is this true?"

"Mr. Gu, do you know about this matter?"

"Mr. Gu, it is said your granddaughter is holding a press conference to clarify rumors about Murong Bai and will announce her true boyfriend's identity, is there any truth to this?"

Numerous reporters blocked Gu Qianqiu's path, his deep eyes looking at the many reporters, he said, "This is an unfounded rumor, Gu Corporation and Murong Corporation will..."
