"I don't know why you've asked me here today. If it's about Tongtong, I have nothing to say. If there's nothing else, I need to leave, I have an announcement to make."
Yun Duo'er's tone was sharp, a stark contrast to her reported gentle and demure image.
"Yun Duo'er, you know I didn't ask you here to argue. I just want to know what difficulties you've encountered. You can tell me, and we can solve it together," Su Wanru's words struck Yun Duo'er as laughable.
Su Wanru could still sense something, after all, they were sisters. She understood her somewhat, but seeing her expression still made her heart ache.
"Heh, your words are so beautiful. Is this how you coaxed my son too? Let me tell you, Su Wanru, if you want to be disgusting, go find your Liu Yifeng. Don't bother me, I'm very busy."
Yun Duo'er left after speaking, her final look of disgust causing Su Wanru's heart to bleed.
This was not the outcome she wanted. She just wanted to know who was harming her from behind the scenes. Perhaps if she had spoken out, it could have helped the investigation, but who knew she would be misunderstood.
Not long after Yun Duo'er left the coffee shop, Su Wanru also left dejectedly. Perhaps only she could truly understand this feeling.
They thought the plan was seamless, but the news of Liu Yifeng meeting Yun Duo'er still leaked out. This time, the discussion was even more heated than when he and Su Wanru went to choose a school.
Tongtong also saw the news, and his mood was not good.
Although Tongtong was only three years old, his memory was extraordinary. He knew about everything his mother had done.
He also knew that his dad had met with her for his sake, and now that such a big commotion had been caused, he was afraid it would cause inconvenience to his dad's life.
"Tongtong, are you unhappy because Dad went to see Mom?" Liu Yifeng also noticed the change in Tongtong. When he saw the explosive news, the first thing he thought of was Tongtong's feelings, and he rushed home.
Tongtong just shook his head, "No, Dad, don't overthink it. I just hope the news doesn't affect Dad's career."
Liu Yifeng knew that Tongtong's thoughts were more cautious than those of ordinary adults, and he considered many possibilities. Therefore, he felt it would be best to meet less often in the future.
"Dad understands. If anything happens to me in the future, I'll tell Tongtong first. Don't find Dad nagging then, okay?"
Liu Yifeng's explanation seemed pale. Tongtong clearly didn't believe him, but he still forced a smile to reassure him. He knew his mother better than anyone.
The previous incident with Su Wanru wasn't very serious. Most people didn't know Su Wanru well, nor did they know Liu Yifeng well. They only knew him as someone who made a lot of money from organic vegetables.
But this time it was different. This time, the gossip hit the trending searches with Yun Duo'er. The severity of the situation was self-evident.
Yun Duo'er was a public figure, and naturally, she had fans. Even if her current benefactor wasn't paying much attention to her, she still had a large following.
Yun Duo'er, who hadn't been this popular in a long time, felt this could be a breakthrough. Even her benefactor started arranging announcements and press conferences, wanting her to leverage the news of her close relationship with Liu Yifeng, which might help her return to her peak.
When her agent told Yun Duo'er the news, her face lit up. She had already started calculating. Now, she was willing to pay any price to become famous again.
Just as he was getting up to go to work this morning, Lu Fei informed him that his house was completely surrounded. It was truly the power of fans.
"Yifeng, you shouldn't come to the vegetable shed these days. When I came this morning, there were people here too. I was afraid you wouldn't be able to come to work, so I planned to pick you up at your house, only to find your doorstep even more crowded. I was so scared I left immediately. You should stay home and take care of Tongtong. I'll manage the vegetable shed, don't worry."
After hanging up Lu Fei's call, he slightly opened the window and saw people with cameras and phones squatting outside.
Da Hei and Da Bai at home were also seeing such a large crowd for the first time, barking incessantly with the noisy crowd.
He hadn't realized before that his doorstep could accommodate so many people. Looking at it now, the area outside the door was quite large, capable of holding so many people.
Some were even trying to climb over the wall to get in. Fortunately, Liu Chunsheng noticed and placed various objects below, even warning them with a megaphone.
Soon, the police arrived and dispersed the crowd, finally bringing some quiet.
"What have you done? You clearly told me you would protect my grandson well. Look at this situation today!"
Liu Chunsheng was so angry he was about to explode, but with Tongtong present, he had to restrain himself.
"I didn't expect this either. I approached her proactively, just wanting her to be careful. Perhaps someone intentionally wanted to embarrass her, which is why they investigated my and Wanru's matters. Who knew it would still be photographed."
Liu Yifeng regretted it too. If he had known, he wouldn't have believed Yun Duo'er's immature smoke screen. Now, she had become popular, but it was difficult for him and Tongtong.
"Grandpa, don't worry. There's no news that I'm involved yet. It's just rumors about Dad, and it doesn't affect me." Tongtong had read almost every comment. Combined with the previous exposure of Su Wanru's situation, people likely wouldn't think in that direction yet.
Liu Yifeng nodded in agreement, "That's right. If it's just rumors about her and not about us, there's no problem. She can issue a statement later, and people will forget about it after some time."
Although he thought so, he felt that things were not that simple. For now, he could only stabilize Tongtong and Liu Chunsheng. Moreover, Yun Duo'er's intentions were not simple; she only considered herself and didn't care about anyone else.
"You shouldn't go out recently. Just stay home and spend time with Tongtong," Liu Chunsheng said, snorted, and left.
Liu Yifeng and Tongtong were left looking at each other and sighed in unison.
"Dad, I think I can't just wait and do nothing anymore." Suddenly, Tongtong's eyes lit up. He pulled Liu Yifeng into his room.
"Although I know this matter has nothing to do with me, anything related to Dad is related to Tongtong. Now, we just need to find out who published the photos and then lure them out with bait. We'll know what they want, and any conditions will be easy to discuss."
