He Qimo also retracted his profound gaze following Gu Zixuan’s departing figure, a deeper contemplation collected briefly, then calmness restored. Feng Chengjin glanced at him, keeping silent. Ultimately, lingering in the middle. In terms of animosity, none compared to the intense enmity between He Qimo and Feng Chengjin. Their intimacy with Gu Zixuan was unparalleled. Reluctant to speak up, but observing the other two coldly distant, only comparing the situation, Yu Yuanshen, with a frown, felt compelled to break the silence. "Everyone staying silent without a word?" He Qimo let out a mocking cold laugh, choosing not to answer, instead reaching for a cigarette box, lighting one, and reclining against the bed. Feng Chengjin raised his deep-set eyes and looked a few times, eventually responding, "No, not really, if there’s something to discuss, let’s discuss it." Feng Chengjin still gave a way out, Yu Yuanshen, despite not wanting to address Feng Chengjin, couldn’t help but acknowledge his character and generosity. Coupled with the anxiety for Gu Zixuan these past two days, he frowned, no longer insisting on his position. Saying, "The situation with Zixuan is clear now; just what to do next, what thoughts do you both have?" He Qimo continued to lower his eyes, smoking silently. After sending off the message, Feng Chengjin put away his phone, crossed his legs, placed his hands on his abdomen, and said, "Find a bigger news story, quickly suppress it in the short term, and never mention it again. Alternatively, find a more explosive similar news and let people discern the different nature of things, thereby exploring the essence of this matter and redirecting public opinion." Feng Chengjin’s proposal garnered Yu Yuanshen’s acknowledgment. Feng Chengjin squinted over, "You think so too?" Yu Yuanshen nodded, also took out a cigarette box, but after glancing at the hospital environment, put it back in, "Currently, there’s no other means, the media issue still needs to be handled through media channels. As for my photos, they can be easily clarified by holding a press conference or during media interviews, telling the public that our families are long-time associates with Zixuan’s family." "Vice President Ding’s photos, because they’re in the same company, are also easy to explain. The last photo can be assessed by an expert to establish authoritative photoshop traces for clarification. But whether to quickly suppress it or let it ferment and clear up naturally needs careful consideration, because..." Yu Yuanshen paused to look at the two men, "The principle is to minimize Zixuan’s harm." Feng Chengjin had no objections to this point. Even He Qimo, who had been quietly smoking, gathered his brows, and some of the gloom between his brows dissipated a bit. Due to Gu Zixuan’s reputation issue, the atmosphere in the hospital room became much more relaxed. Though the three men weren’t influenced by each other’s aura. Yet the room temperature shifted from minus 100 degrees to a peaceful 0 degrees, everyone could still feel it. Yu Yuanshen began to communicate with Feng Chengjin. Except He Qimo rarely spoke, only occasionally shifting his lowered gaze. The interaction between Yu Yuanshen and Feng Chengjin was fairly smooth. Given the swift, precise, and ruthless eruption of this matter, every one of them knew it was premeditated, but having each accompanied Gu Zixuan through every life stage, their understanding of who her enemies were wasn’t fully aligned. Feng Chengjin was investigating, Yu Yuanshen was investigating, and so was He Qimo. But rather than waiting for results, aimlessly pondering single lines, leading to possible misunderstandings and deviations. Why not proactively consolidate information. Regarding Gu Zixuan’s reputation issue, none of them could tolerate this matter... having any flaws. ... ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ N0v3l.Fiɾe.net Only with the deepening of the conversation. Yu Yuanshen: "So, how do you think this should be handled? Zixuan’s stubborn personality probably can’t endure such slander." Feng Chengjin also considered this, contemplating Gu Zixuan’s temperament, he said, "Concealing through PR is actually a highly dangerous approach, she wouldn’t like it, and it might backfire, being exploited by those waiting to ruin her, if it gets pushed up by the internet trolls, there’s no turning back. But time-wise..." Feng Chengjin didn’t continue, Yu Yuanshen considered the possibility of Gu Zixuan finding out and the emotional collapse it would cause, staying silent. In an instant, both men had their concerns, front and back. Facing He Qimo, who remained silent and didn’t voice his opinion, Yu Yuanshen, after giving an impatient look, said, "He Qimo, what about you? With Zixuan’s current situation, don’t you have any opinions or ideas?" He Qimo slowly lifted his gaze, and in an instant, if Yu Yuanshen had been frustrated a moment ago by He Qimo’s excessive reserve, more than Feng Chengjin who also liked to keep things to himself, making communication difficult. This moment, accompanied by He Qimo’s words, Yu Yuanshen truly regretted asking such a question. Wouldn’t it have been better to let him remain silent? After lifting his gaze, He Qimo glanced at the two, smoking a cigarette, and suddenly chuckled lightly, "The best solution for Zixuan is to remarry me, all rumors would cease from then on, but who among you would agree?" In that moment, whether it was Yu Yuanshen, who was very concerned for Gu Zixuan, or Feng Chengjin, whose heart was currently only with Gu Zixuan, both simultaneously changed their expressions, recognizing this maximally protective proposal but also furrowed their brows, not knowing how to respond. And He Qimo added a cold laugh. Mockingly, "Furthermore, you’ve said everything needed to be said, what else needs to be said? Back when the two of you were playing with my He Family’s stock, you didn’t consult my opinion, did you?" Suddenly, Yu Yuanshen and Feng Chengjin were both stuck with rigid expressions. Awkwardly unable to come down from the stage. He Qimo continued leaning against the pillow smoking... Feng Chengjin coughed into his hands, turning his face away. On the other side, in the public hospital’s sink. Gu Zixuan was washing fruit. Next to her, Qin Nuo and Liang Xi were busy with their tasks—one washing dishes, the other passing fruit. Gu Zixuan’s heavy mood, combined with knowing they were gathered to discuss how to handle her situation, made her fruit-washing movements slow with the guilt of hurting each man. Naturally, Qin Nuo accompanied Gu Zixuan to prevent her from returning too soon. Seeing Gu Zixuan just wash twice and thinking that was enough, Qin Nuo quickly took over, "Miss Gu, fruits now have wax and pesticides, let me do it." On the other side, Liang Xi understood that Gu Zixuan knew and felt her pained mood, understanding her suppressed emotions, he lowered his eyelids, also taking over, "Madam, let me do it." For a moment, Qin Nuo frowned slightly, glancing at Liang Xi. As he pulled the basket of washed apples towards himself, he said, "Assistant Liang, take a break. This is our future Young Madam of the Feng Family, I’ll handle it." Liang Xi, after being stunned for a moment, understood what Qin Nuo was being serious about, couldn’t help but secretly sneer in his heart, while also taking the plate, "Even if she’s the future Young Madam, she’s still the young mistress I served for eight years. I’m used to it, so Secretary Qin, take a break, I’ll do it." In an instant, Qin Nuo and Liang Xi were staring each other down. Because although Feng Yi is much richer than Junsheng, once wealth reaches a certain level, basically they can afford everything in this world, so even in sleep, there’s no one to be afraid of. Qin Nuo let out a cold laugh, picking up the shared dish soap from the sink. Liang Xi responded with a light snort, pulling out a fruit knife from his keychain. Qin Nuo intentionally turned the faucet on high, splashing Liang Xi with water. Liang Xi kept a steady face, while apple peels flew around, sticking to the back of Qin Nuo’s hand. When Gu Zixuan snapped back to reality, she found Qin Nuo and Liang Xi already bickering for some reason. In slight depression, she pursed her lips, checked the time on her wristwatch, sighed, and said, "You guys, stop it." Then, she picked up the fruit that was washed and placed on the fruit plate, took the fruit knife from Liang Xi’s hand, and walked towards the hospital room. Seeing Gu Zixuan had gone inside, and after being scolded, Liang Xi and Qin Nuo looked at each other with mutual resentment. One nudged the other’s shoulder, while the other blocked the other’s path. Then quickly followed along. Returning to the hospital room, Gu Zixuan brought the fruit plate, peeled and cut the fruit, then stuck toothpicks in them. When she carried it over, Gu Zixuan noticed the atmosphere in the hospital room was weird and silent. She looked at Feng Chengjin, then at Yu Yuanshen. Finally, she looked at He Qimo. She knew that these three men were strong-willed at their core, just that having men of different levels together would create problems. To be honest, she couldn’t even imagine how they would communicate, or if they’d leave after a single disagreement. But having them together was problematic, yet... Her heart trembled slightly, and she finally looked at He Qimo, "Why aren’t you all talking?" Feng Chengjin and Yu Yuanshen’s expressions were still fine, somewhat normal. He Qimo let out a cold laugh, took a puff of his cigarette, and said, "I don’t know, I said a sentence and a half in total, then they both stopped talking." Instantly, Feng Chengjin and Yu Yuanshen simultaneously: "..." They twitched their lips. ************************* Feng Chengjin: "Damn it, how the hell am I supposed to respond to that?" Yu Yuanshen: "Exactly, Mother, when you were writing the characters, you didn’t mention He Qimo as someone who chokes people to death with his words!" Mu Ruohua Xi: "Well... actually, He Qimo is naturally , somewhat in line with Feng Chengjin. It’s just that Feng Chengjin openly bullies people, while whoever approaches He Qimo ends up getting bullied." Feng Chengjin: "I refuse to accept this! I’m the male lead!" Yu Yuanshen: "I don’t accept it either! I’m already so miserable and still getting bullied by the third male lead!" Mu Ruohua Xi: "This..." He Qimo let out a ghostly chuckle, taking a puff of his cigarette, "No worries, Mother, just give them more scenes and character charm..." Feng Chengjin, Yu Yuanshen raised their eyebrows, "So agreeable?" He Qimo, "Just write me to death, so Gu Zixuan will feel guilty for a lifetime, remembering me." Feng Chengjin, Yu Yuanshen, "Damn!"
