Chapter 229: Chapter 229: Because You Have Thick Skin

"Don’t speak anymore, your wound has started bleeding again," Meng Tian covered his mouth.

He just smiled and then kissed the palm of her hand.

Meng Tian blushed, glanced around, people were coming and going in a hurry, and no one noticed them.

"I’ve resolved the matter online for you," Tang Jingyao held her hand in his palm, "and I am also investigating the person who manipulated everything behind the scenes."

His assistant had informed him about the online comments, and he immediately instructed the public relations department to handle it. Soon, harmful information about Meng Tian was deleted.

However, these people seemed unwilling to give in and had opened up a new "battlefield."

To completely silence them online, he needed to trace the problem to its source.

But for Tang Jingyao, this was not difficult, it just required some time.

At that moment, Tang Jingyao’s phone rang.

Meng Tian glanced at it; it was Jiang Ying.

She was just about to stand up and leave to give them space when Tang Jingyao pulled her back and turned on the speakerphone in front of her.

"Ah Yao, I’m really sorry," Jiang Ying began with tears in her voice, "I saw the people online blindly hurling insults at Miss Meng, and I urgently wanted to clarify things for her, but it only made things worse, I’m really sorry."

As she spoke, she suddenly coughed, her voice faltering as if she might faint at any moment.

She always presented herself as fragile yet resilient, which greatly influenced Tang Jingyao.

But Tang Jingyao was not so easily fooled today.

The online unrest had spilled into reality; if he hadn’t rushed to the police station on time today, that stone would have hit Meng Tian’s head.

With Jiang Ying’s intelligence, didn’t she consider the repercussions her statements might cause?

"You don’t need to apologize to me; Meng Tian is right here next to me, apologize to her," Tang Jingyao’s voice was calm, without any emotional fluctuation.

Jiang Ying’s coughing stopped, and her voice sounded even more aggrieved.

Tang Jingyao genuinely cared for Meng Tian; after the incident, he immediately rushed to protect her, and almost all the online comments were blocked. Now, searching for this matter online results in scrambled code.

He had indeed put in a lot of effort for Meng Tian.

"Miss Meng, I’m sorry," Jiang Ying’s voice was feeble, sounding as if someone was coercing her.

Meng Tian couldn’t bear it.

"Once the investigation is clear, Miss Jiang, you can apologize to me in person."

Jiang Ying paused, but quickly understood Meng Tian’s intention, "Miss Meng, have you misunderstood something?"

Meng Tian signaled to Tang Jingyao; she didn’t want to talk to Jiang Ying anymore.

"Jiang Ying, I also hope that by the end of this investigation, you are not involved," Tang Jingyao said and then hung up the phone.

Jiang Ying, holding the phone, felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

What chilled her to the bone wasn’t Meng Tian’s words, but the way Tang Jingyao said "Jiang Ying."

He never used to call her by her full name. He always called her Yingying.

Just now when he uttered the words "Jiang Ying," there was not a trace of tenderness.

Tang Jingyao, had he genuinely fallen in love with someone else?

During the years Jiang Ying was in prison, she had evidently been anxious about this matter, yet Tang Jingyao had consistently visited her, never failing to show up.

Moreover, Tang Jingyao was somewhat special in their social circle—he wasn’t fickle.

His companions changed their female partners frequently, but he remained constant.

This was one reason why Jiang Ying was confident.

However, Meng Tian’s emergence had made Jiang Ying highly insecure; her confidence in having Tang Jingyao’s devotion was slowly collapsing.

Jiang Ying hurriedly called Luo Qianqian.

"Qianqian, you should stop now."

"How can I stop now when this is the best opportunity to deal with that Meng?" Luo Qianqian refused to give up, "Yingying, don’t worry, I just paid that company 500,000. They promised me they would spread the rumors again; I must make sure that Meng never recovers."

"Tang Jingyao has intervened in this matter," Jiang Ying panicked, "If you don’t stop now, he will find out."

"Despicable man." Luo Qianqian was furious, "He only thinks about Meng, never considering your feelings. You’ve been with him for so many years, yet he’s heartless and ungrateful."

Jiang Ying started crying softly, "It’s okay, I had anticipated this day; I just didn’t want to drag you into this."

"I’m not afraid of being implicated, rest assured, I will see this through with him. I’ll make sure that Meng can never show his face in public again."

Luo Qianqian hung up the phone and quickly sent a video to a marketing account.

The video was from the day Jiang Ying and Tang Jingyao got engaged, showing Jiang Ying being taken away.

She had someone edit the video to create a narrative of a tragic love story where lovers were forcibly separated.

That day, Meng Tian happened to be there too, so Luo Qianqian edited a shot of Meng Tian’s expression, looking like a villain pleased with herself.

Once the video went online, it immediately stirred up a massive uproar.

Netizens freely interpreted the video, and a tidal wave of abuse towards Meng Tian surged once again.

The assistant sent the video to Tang Jingyao just as he and Meng Tian got home.

Seeing the video, Tang Jingyao was so angry that veins bulged on his forehead, and even his wounds started to hurt.

"Have you found the source?"

Seeing his boss enraged, the assistant hurriedly said, "We’ve already contacted Mr. Fu’s hacker friend, we should hear from him soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, the assistant’s phone rang.

Someone had sent a simple message containing an address.

"Boss, we’ve got the address."

Tang Jingyao took a quick look and was ready to leave; he had to handle this personally.

He wanted to see who dared to continuously frame his wife.

"I’m coming too." Meng Tian came down from upstairs, holding a small bag with some external-use medications.

Tang Jingyao’s head wound had only recently been stitched up; once the anesthesia wore off, it was going to be very painful.

He was the type to endure pain, but she felt it unnecessary.

Tang Jingyao glanced at his watch, "Aren’t you tired? You should rest at home."

"Not tired." Meng Tian also wanted to know who was harming her, although she had her suspicions.

But evidence was needed in everything.

One cannot arbitrarily condemn someone as guilty.

The assistant chuckled on the side, "Madam is actually worried about the boss, that’s why she’s carrying so much medicine."

Hearing this, Meng Tian hastily moved her hands behind her back, "Not at all."

Tang Jingyao laughed, took her hand, "Alright, then let’s go together."

Getting into the car, Meng Tian checked Tang Jingyao’s wound; the gauze wrapped around it was slightly blood-stained.

After confirming the wound hadn’t reopened, Meng Tian safely put the net cover back on.

Even though he had good looks to carry it off, anyone in a white head cover looked odd.

"Are you staring at me because I’m good-looking?"

Meng Tian laughed, "No, it’s because you have thick skin."

"Is your skin itching?" Tang Jingyao reached out to pinch her cheek.

As the two joked around, the car stopped in front of an office building.
