My Ex-Husband Is Proposing Again
Chapter 864 - 864 864 Deliberately Slandering Him

Chapter 864: Chapter 864: Deliberately Slandering Him Chapter 864: Chapter 864: Deliberately Slandering Him “Let’s try it. Tomorrow is the weekend, and I plan to stay at my dad’s place for a few days. If you’re willing, you can send Cao Shiyu over, and I’ll spend a couple of days with her to see if I can jog her memory about some past events,” Su Hongxing shared her plan.

“No problem,” Guan Ya, who was single-minded in her desire to cure Cao Shiyu, agreed without a second thought.

After the call with Guan Ya, Su Hongxing rang Cao Zhen to inform him of her weekend plans.

Cao Zhen, upon learning that Su Hongxing would stay at his place for a few days, was pleasantly surprised and nodded in agreement again and again.

Even after hanging up the call, he still felt somewhat overwhelmed.

When Ye Shiqing entered the office, he saw Cao Zhen smiling to himself: “This document needs your review.”

Cao Zhen then came back to reality, though he couldn’t suppress the smile on his face.

This made Ye Shiqing a bit curious, “Sir, is there something that’s made you so happy?”

“Is it that obvious?” Cao Zhen browsed through the document quickly, in a very good mood.

He had invited Su Hongxing to stay at his place countless times, and she had refused every time. Yet, this time, Su Hongxing had said she’d come and stay with him for several days, which he found astonishing.

Ye Shiqing smiled and nodded, “Very obvious.”

“Su girl is coming over to my place tonight and may stay for a few days. It’s not easy to ask her to do this,” Cao Zhen sighed.

Regarding his indebtedness to Su Hongxing, there was no way he could make amends in this lifetime. His only wish was to spend a few days under the same roof with Su Hongxing in his remaining years, enjoying the family reunion. That would be enough for him.

Ye Shiqing immediately understood.

Cao Zhen’s deep affection for his adopted daughter Su Hongxing was known before, but Ye Shiqing had thought Ye Qilan was exaggerating. Now, it seemed that Cao Zhen’s fondness for Su Hongxing was exceptional.

Having signed the document, Cao Zhen looked at Ye Shiqing with earnestness, “Shiqing, you are young and bold, and I have high hopes for your future. Ever since Qilan recommended you to me, I’ve considered you the most commendable candidate. But you must understand, in our line of work, public opinion is formidable. Do you understand what I’m worried about?”

Recently, rumors about Ye Shiqing and Qiao Qiao had reached his ears.

Many said that Ye Shiqing was enamored with Qiao Qiao, a married woman, and this woman was also the wife of his third brother. It was a scandal of the clan, and if Ye Shiqing didn’t manage it well, he could forget about rising to power. Even if he did rise, such a scandal could crush him.

“I know my limits. I indeed want Xiaoqiao to be my girlfriend, but that would only happen after her divorce. Besides, I am so busy right now. Where would I find so much time to manage my love life? On the contrary, I think that those who are making mountains out of molehills have a clear agenda, which is to smear my reputation,” Ye Shiqing replied calmly.

He had also heard those rumors.

In fact, he only chatted with Qiao Qiao occasionally in the cafeteria; they hardly interacted at any other time.

Yet, even that had been twisted so distastefully, obviously, someone was purposefully defaming him.

“That’s very possible, I’ll keep an eye on this matter, and you should be careful too. The elections are coming up soon, don’t be careless at this time and let someone take advantage of you,” Cao Zhen instructed gravely.

“Yes, I understand,” Ye Shiqing, holding the document, left Cao Zhen’s office.

After he went downstairs, he glanced in the direction of the Public Relations Department. By coincidence, Qiao Qiao happened to be walking by with a promotional brochure in her hands. She hadn’t noticed Ye Shiqing until someone blocked her way.

She looked up and saw it was Ye Shiqing, which gave her quite a start.
