"Senior Sister, you finally picked up my call," Ming Zicheng let out a long sigh.
Lan Yuxi replied in a bad mood, "Speak quickly if you have something to say. I'm busy!"
"That... someone wants Mei to help them resolve an issue for a friend."
Lan Yuxi glanced at the progress bar. "Who has such great influence that they need a big president like you to invite Mei?"
"Ye. He wanted to ask you directly, but he doesn't have your number."
"Ye? Who is he helping?"
"Nan Xiao."
Upon hearing Nan Xiao's name, Lan Yuxi's throat tightened, and she couldn't speak for a long time.
"I understand."
Hearing her trembling voice, Ming Zicheng cautiously asked, "Senior Sister, the other party involved..."
Lan Yuxi narrowed her eyes slightly. "It's me! Stop asking the obvious! I'm already handling this."
Ming Zicheng was stunned into silence.
Although he had suspected this outcome when he saw the trending topic, hearing it directly was still difficult to accept.
So, Senior Sister was kicked out of the Nan family because of this!
He used to have a good impression of Nan Xiao, but after this incident, Nan Xiao's favorability rating in his eyes plummeted.
Putting aside whether he had committed incest as rumored online, just the fact that he slept with Senior Sister and then had his mother drive her out of the house made him a scumbag not worth associating with!
Lan Yuxi, not hearing his voice, thought he had hung up. Her fingers flew across the keyboard.
If Nan Xiangbei hadn't called her, she might still be unaware that the events of the past had been exposed.
Although the internet didn't specify the woman's identity, anyone who knew her connection to the Nan family would guess it was her.
Her current priority was to delete the post and then find out who leaked the information. If they wanted to make her miserable, then no one would have an easy time!
At Shengshi Jiangnan.
Nan Xiangbei, who had been thoroughly berated by Nan Xiao, was intently staring at the post.
The person who leaked the information was skilled; he couldn't delete the post at all.
Lan Yuxi knew Blue, which was why he had to shamelessly ask her for help behind his boss's back.
He hoped Blue could delete the post quickly, otherwise, both his boss and Lan Yuxi would be in trouble.
Ten minutes later, Nan Xiangdong's eyes were sore from staring. He rubbed them and when he opened them again, the post had miraculously disappeared!
"Boss!" Nan Xiangbei excitedly waved at Nan Xiao, who was on the phone.
Nan Xiao frowned slightly and walked to the computer while on the phone. Seeing that the post was gone and the curses against him had vanished, he continued speaking to the person on the other end.
"I can't wait any longer. No matter what stage you're at, send the person over... If not tomorrow, then tonight. We'll fly back on a private jet!"
Nan Xiao hung up and said to Nan Xiangbei, "Keep an eye on it. This is not over yet."
"Huh? It's not over?"
"The bigger news is coming!" Nan Xiao said as he walked out.
Seeing him emerge, Nan Xiangdong waved his phone. "Boss, the post is completely deleted!"
"Good. Arrange for some people... No, you go yourself. In five hours, take people to our private airport and bring that person over."
Nan Xiangdong understood instantly. "She just finished the first phase of surgery. Can she manage?"
"She has to, even if she can't! Otherwise, once the big news breaks, Xi Bao won't be able to stay in Kyoto."
Nan Xiangdong glanced at him. It was this critical moment, and the Nan Corporation's stock was about to plummet tomorrow, yet his boss's first thought was Lan Yuxi.
Nan Xiao pondered for a moment and then continued, "Their eyes look very similar. When we hold the press conference, she can wear a mask, and it should pass."
With his boss saying so, Nan Xiangbei had nothing more to say.
He could only hope that the person wouldn't reveal any big secrets, or perhaps, even if they did, the substitute wouldn't be exposed.
"Beep... beep..." Nan Xiao's phone rang at this moment.
He glanced at the caller ID and took his phone to the balcony.
"Nan Xiao, you scoundrel! Let me in!" Ming Zicheng's angry voice came through as soon as the call was answered.
Nan Xiao was surprised. Was he at Shengshi Jiangnan?
"I'm outside your apartment gate!"
Nan Xiao squeezed his temples and said sternly, "Give the phone to the security guard."
Ming Zicheng irritably shoved the phone to the security guard.
Five minutes later, Ming Zicheng, a lone wolf, stormed into the villa.
As soon as he got out of the car, he headed straight for Nan Xiao, who was waiting at the entrance.
Nan Xiangdong, seeing his hostile demeanor, tried to shield Nan Xiao, but Nan Xiao pushed him aside. In that instant, Ming Zicheng threw a punch.
Nan Xiao didn't even consider dodging. He knew Ming Zicheng was there to defend Xi Bao, and this punch was deserved.
Ming Zicheng's fist landed on his right cheek.
But a single punch like this couldn't quell his burning rage.
Just as he was about to throw a second punch, Nan Xiangbei grabbed his wrist. "President Ming, you can't hit anymore. Mr. Nan has a press conference tomorrow."
Nan Xiao turned his head, spat out a mouthful of blood, and then reached out to pull Nan Xiangdong away. "Get out of the way!"
With Nan Xiangdong no longer obstructing him, Ming Zicheng grabbed Nan Xiao's collar and, with bloodshot eyes, demanded, "You scumbag! You dare to hold a press conference? What will you say then? Will you blame everything on Lan Yuxi?"
"I won't let her suffer any injustice," Nan Xiao said, looking down at his hand. "Can you let go? We can talk inside."
Ming Zicheng's facial muscles tensed. He shot Nan Xiao a fierce glare before releasing his collar.
They entered the living room one after another. Nan Xiangdong, being perceptive, did not follow.
Ming Zicheng glared at Nan Xiao and asked in a hoarse voice, "Although the post has been deleted, it was up for a long time, and many people saw it. How do you plan to handle this?"
Nan Xiao frowned slightly. "To prevent this from being exposed, I preemptively arranged for someone who looks very much like Yuxi to undergo plastic surgery in Country H. At tomorrow's press conference, she will appear in Yuxi's stead, and I will explain that the person involved is her, not Yuxi."
A hint of ferocity flashed in Ming Zicheng's eyes. "You'd rather have someone impersonate Lan Yuxi than take responsibility for her! If you had been willing to take responsibility back then, you wouldn't be held hostage like this."
Nan Xiao clenched his fists. "Do you think I don't want to take responsibility? Do you think I wanted my mother to drive her out of the house? You pity your senior sister, but do I not pity her? However, I cannot take responsibility for her, because she and I... there's no possibility between us for this lifetime!"
Ming Zicheng scoffed. "No possibility for this lifetime? Because my senior sister is an orphan and cannot bring any benefit to your Nan family? Hmph! Don't forget, the current Lan Yuxi has me to back her up!"
