The Outcast Heiress’s Secret Identities
Chapter 497 - Chapter 497 0487 Blinded their dogs eyes

Chapter 497: 0487 Blinded their dog’s eyes Chapter 497: 0487 Blinded their dog’s eyes Gu Heng had just finished a meeting and returned to his office when his secretary walked in with an anxious face.

“President Gu, something bad has happened. You need to take a look at the news online.”

Gu Heng frowned as he took the tablet from his secretary’s hand and glanced down. The whole internet was abuzz with his affair with Su Xinyan.

His expression immediately darkened, and he abruptly looked up at his secretary, his voice cold:

“What exactly is going on?”

The secretary shook her head, her complexion equally grim.

“President Gu, I just received the message as well, and I have no idea who’s spreading rumors online. Even Miss Xinyan’s personal denial hasn’t helped, and the PR department is trying to suppress the news, but if this continues… the company will likely face trouble again!”

Gu Heng naturally understood what his secretary was referring to. The stock market had only just stabilized, and Chongguang couldn’t withstand any more continuous upheavals.

His gaze deepened and he was silent for a moment before flipping through the online news.

Sure enough, he saw the Weibo post Su Xinyan had clarified —

[We’re fine, there’s no abandoning after a fling, the marriage is under negotiation, thank you for your concern!]

Even so, it couldn’t withstand the subtle myriad of public opinions; the sentiment was still overwhelmingly one-sided.

Many even felt that Su Xinyan’s statement was a desperate struggle.

“What do we do, President Gu?”

The secretary asked worriedly.

Gu Heng helplessly pinched the bridge of his nose. At that moment, the phone in his bag suddenly rang.

After a while, he took out his phone and answered the call.

“Mom…”

Gu Heng clutched the phone tightly, his voice revealing his exhaustion.

“Yeah, I saw it, at the company…”

He took a deep breath, supporting his forehead with one hand.

“Discussing the marriage?”

He closed his eyes somewhat gloomily and after a moment, finally spoke:

“Alright, you arrange it then!”

After hanging up the phone, Gu Heng sat in his chair with a pale face. It took a long time before he slowly opened his eyes again.

He flipped through the comments online again and finally, he retweeted Su Xinyan’s post and added a comment —

[In the past it was you, now it’s you, and in the future, it will always be you!]

Because of Gu Heng’s post, the online questioning voices gradually subsided.

Xiao Ran saw the news online and just raised her eyebrows with a smile.

A love etched in bones and engraved in the heart…

She was curious to see how long this love of theirs could last.

Just as she was about to put down her phone, the ringtone suddenly sounded.

It was a call from Ye Zhichen.

“Xiao Ran, did you see Gu Heng and Su Xinyan’s Weibo? Ugh, ‘In the past it was you, now it’s you, and in the future, it will always be you’–so gross. Aren’t these two really going to get married?”

Xiao Ran smiled slightly, leaning back into her chair.

“Why are you getting excited if the two of them are getting married?”

Ye Zhichen couldn’t help but roll her eyes, “Am I getting excited? I’m furious. Didn’t you see the comments from netizens? Praising their profound love, seeing true feelings through hardships–blind fools.”

Xiao Ran smiled helplessly, “Alright, why get angry with them? Be careful not to ruin your health over it.”

Ye Zhichen took a deep breath, still feeling indignant on behalf of her friend.

Why should that couple enjoy everything that once belonged to Xiao Ran so rightfully?

However, Xiao Ran now had Fu Qiyuan…

Forget it, forget it!

The only one to blame is Gu Heng for being blind!

“The fashion show ended several days ago, and Zisu’s side has started to get on the right track. We’ve been busy for so long, how about we go out and get together to relax a bit?”

Su Ran raised an eyebrow, “Since when do you have the mood for that?”

Ye Zhichen rubbed his temples and closed the file on the table.

“No matter how busy work is, it’s important to balance work with rest. Chu Ling has been doing well recently. It can also be a celebration for her. You bring your man, and also invite Mo Shangjie. He helped a lot with the fashion show, so let’s all go together!”

Su Ran paused for a moment and thought. Indeed, Chu Ling had performed well recently, even signed several magazine covers and advertisement endorsements.

“That sounds good. You arrange it. Just text me the time and place!”

“Okay!”

After hanging up the phone, Su Ran called Fu Qiyuan and Mo Shangjie.

Mo Shangjie would certainly not refuse a lively gathering!

Yet, Ye Zhichen never expected that at her first gathering, several uninvited guests would appear.

–

Just as Wen Peipei had predicted, the Gu Family indeed took the initiative to discuss the marriage.

Su Xinyan felt relieved, and a smile appeared on her face.

At this moment in the Su Family, Wen Peipei, Tan Lirong, Su Hongde, Gu Qiming, and Deng Jingru were sitting together to discuss Gu Heng and Su Xinyan’s wedding.

The two families originally planned to have an engagement before the wedding, but due to many recent events, they decided to skip the engagement and go straight to the wedding.

Moreover, the wedding was scheduled after the World Designer Competition, allowing plenty of time for both families to prepare.

This was Wen Peipei’s request, intending to have double celebrations at once.

With the marriage settled, it was indeed a joyous occasion. The Gu Family booked a private room at Victoria to celebrate becoming one family soon.

Su Xinyan sat shyly by Gu Heng’s side, her cheeks flushed, while Gu Heng beside her seemed somewhat distracted.

A dark shadow flickered across the depths of Su Xinyan’s eyes. After a moment’s thought, she spoke:

“Grandma, will my sister also come to tonight’s dinner?”

For such an important occasion, how could they miss such a key figure?

Su Xinyan looked cautious, her voice tangled yet expectant.

Hearing Su Ran’s name, Gu Heng instinctively looked at Su Xinyan next to him, and upon hearing this, Wen Peipei’s expression immediately darkened.

“Why invite her? Want to turn a happy occasion into a funeral?”

Su Xinyan shrank her neck and leaned closer to Gu Heng.

“But Grandma, my sister is still family after all, and we can’t sever that tie. She should be there at such an occasion. Brother Heng, don’t you agree?”

As she spoke, Su Xinyan looked at Gu Heng beside her. Gu Heng paused for a moment, then nodded his head and said, “Hmm.”

Wen Peipei looked exasperated, “If you want to, tell her yourselves.”

“Then I’ll call my sister.” Su Xinyan smiled joyfully, looking gentle and innocent. As she spoke, she took out her phone and dialed Su Ran’s number.

But the phone rang for a long time with no answer.

She looked disappointedly at Gu Heng, “No answer. Sister might still be angry with me. Brother Heng, why don’t you try calling her?”

Gu Heng nodded and dialed Su Ran’s number. It also rang for a long time without an answer, and a flash of disappointment crossed his somber eyes.

Wen Peipei waved her hand impatiently at the sight.

“Enough already, better off if that disaster doesn’t come. Who knows what trouble she’d cause if she did come…”

Su Xinyan bit her lip and spoke with reluctance,

“Grandma, my sister might be busy now. I’ll try contacting her again later.”

Wen Peipei snorted coldly and didn’t say anything.
