Chapter 381: Chapter 381: CEO, I Suspect You Have Split Personality

Zhou Shuyan was so smart, he wouldn’t be fooled, would he?

"What’s going on?" Zhou Shuyan, alarmed by the tone of Shen Changze’s voice, asked, "Why suddenly ask about my wife?"

"Right now, who knows where it started, but the rumor’s out there that you’ve married a village girl," said Shen Changze. "The problem is, no one has even seen your wife. How did such rumors even start?"

Zhou Shuyan had only disclosed his misfortune at Hexing Village to Qi Sishenn.

Shen Changze didn’t know about it.

"When I heard this news, I thought it was preposterous," Shen Changze rambled on. "Brother Yan, you’re so busy all the time, even if you go on business trips, you wouldn’t have a chance to visit some remote village. Plus, in your daily work life, how would you meet any village girl?"

"As for employees from Chengzhou or other partner companies, none would have the chance to interact with you much, right?" Shen Changze wasn’t sure whether he was explaining or convincing himself, "I just don’t know what the person who made up this lie was thinking, creating a rumor so obviously untrue."

Shen Changze continued without pause, not giving Zhou Shuyan a chance to speak.

Finally, as if Shen Changze had finished, Zhou Shuyan opened his mouth to explain but heard Shen Changze say again, "Brother Yan, could it be Zhou Xueyi who spread it?"

"That guy is such a piece of work. This nonsensical rumor must have come from him," Shen Changze kept going. "I don’t understand what Zhou Xueyi’s thinking, always up to this kind of nonsense that just can’t stand scrutiny."

These petty tactics not only failed to make any real impact on Zhou Shuyan but also made the perpetrator look even more foolish.

Zhou Shuyan raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure it was Zhou Xueyi who spread it?"

"Not sure," Shen Changze admitted. "But apart from Zhou Xueyi, I really can’t think of anyone else who would spread such a boring rumor."

Zhou Shuyan chuckled. "Had you not called me, I was planning to reach out to you all."

"Oh? Brother Yan, you’ve heard about the rumor too?" Shen Changze perked up. "What do you need me to do for you? Just say the word! I’ll make sure it gets done."

"..." Zhou Shuyan, with a light tap of his finger against his forehead, replied, "I only learned about it from you just now."

Shen Changze was surprised. "Then what did you want with us?"

"Haven’t you all been wanting to meet my wife?" Zhou Shuyan thought of Lu Youxi and couldn’t help a slight smile. "Discuss among yourselves when you’re free, and we’ll set a date to have a meal together."

Shen Changze immediately thought, I must be free tonight!

Though he could decide for himself, he didn’t dare assume for others. "Okay, I’ll get right on it!"

"I’ll talk to them one by one," Zhou Shuyan said. "It seems more sincere that way."

Less chance of Shen Changze relaying the message and causing jealousy from the others.

Shen Changze gasped. "Brother Yan, they aren’t worthy of such attention from you!"

Zhou Shuyan: "..."

"Anything involving my wife must be handled with care."

Shen Changze, though unable to see Zhou Shuyan’s expression through the phone, took his earnest and deep voice as a cue to show respect.

Brother Yan really is... whipped!

"Okay!" Shen Changze had nothing more to add.

After hanging up, Zhou Shuyan then called Qi Sishenn, Zhong Shoubin, and Shi Yusheng separately.

The rest, like fixing the time, was left for Qi Sishenn and the others to sort out.

But Zhou Shuyan hadn’t expected that not long after he hung up, the four of them had already come to an agreement.

Qi Sishenn called him back to say that they all were free tonight.

Zhou Shuyan: "...You four just happened to be free tonight?"

"Of course," replied Qi Sishenn. "Right after we hung up, we discussed it. We had some engagements, but we’ve canceled them."

Zhou Shuyan: "..."

That wasn’t necessary.

"No problem, those were just trifles," Qi Sishenn said. "Meeting your wife is more important. I only had a distant glimpse of her in Hexing Village; I haven’t properly met her yet."

Zhou Shuyan pinched his forehead; these people were extremely curious about Lu Youxi.

"By the way, you’ve heard about the rumor?" Qi Sishenn asked.

"You mean the rumor that my wife is a village girl?" Zhou Shuyan asked.

After hearing Qi Sishenn’s affirmative reply, Zhou Shuyan said, "Shen Changze just told me about it."

"It’s unclear who started it. The ones who know your wife’s identity, besides her family and yours, is just me," said Qi Sishenn. "But I didn’t tell anyone."

"Shen Changze and the others didn’t know the truth about your wife; they really thought it was just a rumor," Qi Sishenn said.

"I’ve already sent someone to investigate," Zhou Shuyan said.

"Could it have been Zhou Xueyi’s doing?" Qi Sishenn speculated.

"You suspect him too?" Zhou Shuyan chuckled. "Shen Changze suspected him as well. What kind of mess is Zhou Xueyi running; whenever there’s trouble, he’s the first to be suspected."

"Because whoever did it wasn’t smart. Aside from Zhou Xueyi, I really can’t think of anyone else who would do something so stupid," Qi Sishenn couldn’t hide his disdain with a "tsk."

However, although Qi Sishenn was suspicious, Zhou Shuyan didn’t think it was necessarily Zhou Xueyi.

Zhou Xueyi had been played by Lu Youxi before, and when Lu Youxi first appeared in Chengzhou as his wife, Zhou Xueyi couldn’t have been kept in the dark.

Even without Zhou Xueyi planting informants in the company, a simple inquiry would have sufficed.

If Zhou Xueyi were behind this rumor, he would not merely claim his wife was a village girl.

He would definitely go all out to malign both Zhou Shuyan and Lu Youxi, not leave it nameless.

So, Zhou Shuyan felt that whoever was behind this rumor was not only unwise but probably did not intend to undermine him or Lu Youxi.

As for their purpose...

With such a foolish idea, Zhou Shuyan couldn’t fathom thinking from the other person’s perspective.

While Zhou Shuyan was pondering this, Yu Zeqin knocked and entered.

"CEO, we have found out," Yu Zeqin approached Zhou Shuyan’s desk. "It turns out it wasn’t Zhou Xueyi who did it; it was Lin Jingshen who spread the news."

"Lin Jingshen?" Zhou Shuyan was surprised, taking a moment to recall who Lin Jingshen was. "What’s his purpose in spreading that?"

"Besides, didn’t Youxi clarify a while ago at Jing University that I wasn’t her husband?" Zhou Shuyan frowned.

Yu Zeqin: "..."

CEO, I think you might have a split personality.

You are Lu Youxi’s husband.

Yet you can say the lie that you’re not Lu Youxi’s husband so smoothly, without any signs of discomfort.

"Yes, no one at Jing University doubts anymore that you and Miss Lu are spouses," Yu Zeqin said admiringly. "Miss Lu is really amazing."
