“An Zi, did you see the video on the internet today?”
“What video?” Anran was a little confused. Even if she had been awake for a long time, she hadn’t turned on her computer recently because of her pregnancy. She had no idea what was going on.
On the other side of the phone, Lin Li seemed to have suddenly thought of something. She was silent for a while, and finally, she asked with a heavy tone, ” Zian, did su Yicheng come home last night? ”
Lin Li’s tone was a little serious, which was not in line with her usual carefree personality. Her tone made Anran a little worried, so she asked with uncertainty, ” “Lin Li, did something happen?”
Lin Li didn’t directly answer her question, but said with some certainty, ” Su Yicheng didn’t go back last night, did he? ”
“Yicheng came back last night.” “It’s just a little late,” Anran said. She still remembered that when su Yicheng had carried her back to her room last night, she had woken up at 12:23.
“Hehe.” Lin Li sneered on the other end of the phone.
Anran frowned. &Quot; Lin Li, what happened? is it related to Yicheng? ” Her question about whether su Yicheng had returned last night was probably related to Yicheng. Did something really happen last night? The video Lin Li was talking about was about Yicheng?
Lin Li was silent for a long time before she spoke in a low voice, ” &Quot; an Zi, if it’s possible, I don’t want to tell you. But now, the whole of Jiang city knows about this. Even if I don’t tell you, someone will report it to you. &Quot;
“What is it?” Anran didn’t know what Lin Li was going to say to her, but she felt a faint sense of uneasiness in her heart. She was a little afraid of what Lin Li was going to say to her later.
&Quot; Anzi, promise me not to be too agitated. Think about the child in your stomach. &Quot; Lin Li said, a little worried.
“Lin Li!” An ran reproached her angrily. The more she acted like this, the more scared she became.
Lin Li stopped talking and fell into silence again. Anran didn’t know how much time had passed. It could have been a few seconds or a few minutes, but when Lin Li spoke again, Anran’s palm, which was holding her phone, was already sweating.
&Quot; I can’t say it out loud. Go and take a look on the internet. The posts and videos are all on the Jiang City Forum. &Quot; On the other end of the phone, Lin Li’s voice was very low, and Anran could hear the heaviness in it. &Quot; Anzi, let’s not hang up the phone. If you feel uncomfortable watching it, let me know. &Quot;
Anran didn’t say anything. She put down the mug in her hand, walked out of the bathroom, and headed directly to the study.

Aunt Zhang, who was in the kitchen, saw her come out and was about to ask if she wanted to prepare breakfast for her, but she saw Anran go straight into the study without looking back.
When Anran turned on the computer and saw the video and screenshot that had been going viral on the forum, she was stunned. His eyes were fixed on the image on the computer screen. The video was a little messy and the lights were a little too dim, but even so, he could still clearly distinguish the man and woman in the video.
The people in the video were none other than su Yicheng and Ling LAN!
His chest tightened, and he felt an indescribable pain and frustration. His hand that was holding the mouse pressed the mouse button tightly, and he seemed to be trying hard to suppress his inner emotions.
This post was posted by an anonymous netizen. Not only was there a five-minute long video, but there were also many photos taken with a mobile phone. The quality of the photos wasn’t very good, and in the photos, su Yicheng could be seen carrying a slightly unconscious Ling LAN into a hotel.
The post was really popular. It was posted on the computer at 3 am in the morning. In just a few hours, it had been forwarded by tens of thousands of people. The comments below the post had long been boiling with excitement. Some were watching the show, some were condemning, some were jeering, and some were cursing …
“In this society, officials are either corrupt or prostituting. It’s good to get used to it …”
“Haha, leader su, are you trying to learn from teacher Chen?”
“From the video, Mayor su is indeed very fierce. I guess his wife’s big belly can’t satisfy his needs. It’s really hurt to hold it in for a long time, hahaha …”
“B * stard, I thought he was a good man when I read the newspaper last time. I didn’t expect this to happen so soon. His wife is pregnant! He actually did such a thing behind his wife’s back! Strongly condemned!”
“Immoral, worse than a beast!”
‘Human flesh, human flesh, I strongly request for human flesh, who is that woman!’
There were more than ten pages of similar comments.
“An Zi?” Lin Li didn’t hang up the phone. After waiting for Anran’s reply for a long time, Lin Li couldn’t help but feel a little worried.
Anran looked at the photo and video, and she felt as if there was something stuck in her chest. She didn’t believe that su Yicheng would do such a thing. Even if they had only known each other for half a year, she couldn’t believe that he would do such a thing based on how well he had treated and taken care of her in the past six months. His attitude towards Ling LAN had always been very clear, and his rejection had always been very clean and straightforward.
However, she didn’t know how to convince herself that the person in the photo was not him. She recognized the clothes he was wearing when he carried Ling LAN into the room. It was indeed the same set of clothes he was wearing yesterday. He was wearing the same set of clothes when he came back last night!
After not getting a response from Anran for a long time, Lin Li became a little anxious. She anxiously said into the phone, ” “An Zi? Say something! Don’t scare me!”
Only then did Anran snap out of her daze and stare straight at the computer screen. Her grip on the mouse was so strong that she felt like she could crush the entire mouse! When he heard Lin Li’s voice on the other end of the phone, which sounded like she was about to cry, he slowly said, ” “I’m fine,” she said. Her voice was weak and soft to the point that it made one’s heart ache.
&Quot; an Zi … &Quot; Lin Li didn’t know what to say. She suddenly regretted telling her, but this matter had blown up so much that even if she didn’t say anything, someone else would tell her. She didn’t want her to be like a fool and be the last one to know what had happened!
“I’m fine,” she said. As she mumbled, Anran stared at the photo on the screen and bit the corner of her mouth.
“An Zi, I’ll go over and accompany you.” In the end, he was still a little worried. She was in such a state that it really made him worried. Furthermore, she was pregnant.
Anran shook her head. &Quot; no, you can go to work. &Quot;
Lin Li pretended to be relaxed and said, ” it’s fine, it’s fine. I’m just an idle person. I don’t have to do it. Anyway, I can’t buy a house. I’ll go and find you now. Wait for me. &Quot;
“Lin Li.” An ran called out.
“What?”
“I believe in him.” Anran slowly opened her mouth and looked at the dark image on the screen. &Quot; &Quot; I believe that he wouldn’t do that. I want to ask him personally. If he explains to me that the person above isn’t him and that he didn’t do such a thing, then I’ll believe him! &Quot;
“What if he lied to you?” Lin Li didn’t have the heart to expose her, but such a guess wasn’t impossible. The video was dark, and she didn’t know if it was real or fake. She had asked a friend who knew computers to verify the photo, and there was definitely no trace of Photoshop.
“I’ll believe it even if you lie to me!” Anran’s tone was firm. &Quot; as long as he says it, I will believe it! &Quot;
On the other side of the phone, Lin Li didn’t say anything else. In the past, he had also clearly known that the man’s heart didn’t love her, but he still fell deep into it without caring about anything. He had also told her more than once to comfort herself that as long as he was by her side, it was only a matter of time before he fell in love with her. For this sentence, she persevered for 10 years. In the end, she persevered until there was no reason to continue, and then she let go and left.
The two of them were silent for a while. In the end, Lin Li spoke first, ” “An Zi, if you feel uncomfortable, come find me.”
“Yes.” An ran nodded.
After hanging up Lin Li’s call, Anran didn’t leave the study immediately. She just maintained her posture and sat in front of the computer in a daze. She looked at the photo on the screen, and her eyes were a little empty.
From outside, aunt Zhang would occasionally glance toward the study, but Anran still hadn’t come out. In the end, she couldn’t help but feel a little worried. She knocked on the kitchen door, pushed it open, and asked, ” “Madam, shall I prepare breakfast for you?”
Anran didn’t respond. Her eyes were still staring at the computer screen without moving.
Aunt Zhang saw that something was wrong and walked over to Anran while calling out, ” “Madam?”
When she was right in front of her, Anran finally came back to her senses and looked at her in a daze.
“I’ll make you breakfast, okay? What does Madam want to eat in the morning?” Mrs. Zhang asked again.
Anran only shook her head and said, ” “I don’t have an appetite,”
Mrs. Zhang could tell that something was wrong with her and asked worriedly, ” “Madam, are you alright?”
Anran turned her head to look at the computer and shook her head in a daze. She really had no appetite at all.
&Quot; let’s eat something. We’re still pregnant. We can’t let the child go hungry. &Quot; Aunt Zhang didn’t know what had happened. When she came over in the morning, su Yicheng had already left, and she didn’t see the breakfast that had been served for the past few days. She thought that the couple must have quarreled, so she could only try to persuade them.
Upon hearing this, Anran reached out and touched her stomach. At this moment, the two babies inside were waving their little fists, as if they were protesting that she had starved them. Yes, she didn’t want to eat, but the baby in her stomach needed nutrition too!
“Get me a glass of milk in the morning,” he said to Mrs. Zhang.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhang nodded her head and turned around to get her some milk.
When su Yicheng rushed home, aunt Zhang happened to be warming Anran’s milk in the kitchen. When she didn’t find Anran in the living room, she was so flustered that she didn’t even have time to change her shoes before she went straight into the master bedroom, but she didn’t find Anran in the room.
“Where’s an ran?” she asked aunt Zhang when she came out.
Mrs. Zhang didn’t understand the situation, so she only pointed at comfort and said, ” “Madam is in the study.”
Upon hearing this, su Yicheng’s heart sank. It seemed that she already knew. He pinched his eyebrows and asked aunt Zhang, ” “How’s Anran?” After seeing the video and the photo, did she believe it?
&Quot; Madam went straight into the study room this morning and didn’t even eat breakfast. She said she didn’t have an appetite. She’s finally willing to eat, but she only wants to drink milk. &Quot; Aunt Zhang said as she held the freshly-heated milk. She then looked at su Yicheng and tried to persuade him, ” &Quot; Sir, I don’t know what happened between you two, but pregnant women always have a bad temper. Please don’t take her seriously. &Quot;
Su Yicheng nodded at her, took the milk from her hand, and said, ” “I’ll bring it in.”
Auntie Zhang nodded and didn’t say anything else. She just handed him the milk in her hand.
He pushed the door open and saw Anran sitting in front of the computer, still staring at the screen.
Su Yicheng gently closed the door and walked to her side with the milk. Anran didn’t turn her head, thinking that it was still Mrs. Zhang who had come in. She simply said, ” Mrs. Zhang, leave it. I’ll drink it later. &Quot;
Su Yicheng sighed softly, put the milk in his hand aside, half-squatted next to her, and gently called out, ” “An ran.”
Anran was stunned for a moment, then slowly turned her head around and looked at su Yicheng in front of her. She was stunned for a moment, then just looked at him without saying a word.
Su Yicheng reached out and pulled her hand, which was placed on his lap and tightly clenched, and gently kissed it. He murmured, ” &Quot; I was afraid that you would misunderstand me, so I rushed back to explain before you saw it. I didn’t expect you to see it. &Quot;
Anran bit her lip tightly and let him kiss her hand. She felt his warm breath on the back of her hand, which was itchy and warm.
Su Yicheng raised his head and looked at her biting her lips so hard that she almost bit herself to the point of bleeding. He frowned and slowly reached out his other hand to gently caress her lips, murmuring, ” “Don’t bite yourself.”
Only then did Anran relax. She stared at him for a long time before saying, ” “Do you want to explain to me?” Tell her that the person up there wasn’t him and that he wasn’t with Ling LAN last night!
Su Yicheng looked at her, and his eyes met hers as he asked, ” “Do you believe me?”
Anran nodded and said without hesitation, ” “As long as you say it, I’ll believe it!” As long as he said it, she would believe it. Even if he was lying to her, she was willing to let him lie.
Upon hearing this, su Yicheng faintly smiled, then looked at her and said with certainty, ” &Quot; it’s not true. The person in the video isn’t me. I didn’t do anything to Ling LAN. &Quot; He looked into her eyes and promised, ” &Quot; an ran, I won’t betray you! &Quot;
After hearing his explanation, Anran smiled faintly, nodded, and said, ” “Alright, I believe you!” What she wanted was very simple, just a promise and confirmation from him.
Su Yicheng also laughed and touched her head, saying, ” “Have something to eat first. I’ll explain everything to you later, okay?”
Anran nodded. She had said that she had to trust him. In addition to being honest, trust was even more important between husband and wife. After being together for half a year, she remembered every bit of his kindness and consideration for her. If he were to betray her and their family like this, she would never believe it.
Because of her complete trust in Him, as long as he said it, she would believe it without any conditions!
“I want to eat your cooking.” Looking at him, an ran smiled faintly.
Upon hearing this, su Yicheng looked at her seriously for a while, then suddenly reached out and hugged her tightly in his arms. On the way back, he was so afraid that she would point to the photo on the computer and question him. He didn’t even know how he would answer. Fortunately, she trusted him and didn’t suspect him at all! Knowing this, all the uneasiness and worry in his heart were put down, because he knew that he could deal with everything that came next without any consideration. This included finding out the person who had posted the photos and videos! He would not let Ling LAN off the hook either!
Aunt Zhang saw the couple holding hands and walking out of the study with a smile. She knew that they were fine, so she went to clean up the house with peace of mind.
After Anran sat down in front of the bar, su Yicheng took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, and went straight into the kitchen to prepare breakfast for Anran. Anran, on the other hand, held a glass of milk and sat in front of the bar, watching his back as he busied himself for her with a faint smile.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Mrs. Zhang went to open the door. It was Lin Li. She was still worried, so she asked for leave from the company and rushed over. She was afraid that Anran would get into trouble because of the videos and photos on the internet. However, things seemed to be a little different from what she had expected. Su Yicheng was actually at home and was even cooking breakfast for Anran, while Anran was looking at him with a blissful smile on her face, as if the incident on the internet didn’t exist at all or had nothing to do with them.
When Anran saw Lin Li come over, she said with some disapproval, ” “Didn’t I tell you not to come over? why are you here again?”
Lin Li glanced at her and muttered in a low voice, ” “I’m just worried about you.” Then, she looked at su Yicheng, who was in the kitchen, and asked Anran in a low voice, ” “He explained everything to you?”
Anran nodded. &Quot; he said that the man in the video wasn’t him, ” she said. &Quot; I believe him. &Quot;
“What about the photos?” She had gotten someone to verify the photos, and there were no traces of Photoshop.
&Quot; even if that photo is real and he really carried Ling LAN into the hotel, I believe that he has his own reasons. He didn’t do anything else. &Quot; She turned her head to look at the man who was still frying eggs for her in the kitchen, then turned back to Lin Li and said, ” &Quot; Lin Li, I believe in him. I believe that he won’t betray me and this family! &Quot; His tone was extremely certain, so firm that no one could shake it.
Hearing her say that, Lin Li naturally had nothing to say. She naturally wanted Anran to be well and hoped that everything on the internet was fake.
&Quot; Anran, have breakfast first. &Quot; Su Yicheng came over with breakfast and placed it on the low table in front of Anran. He looked at Lin Li and nodded with a faint smile. &Quot; miss Lin. &Quot;
Lin Li glanced at him and only nodded coldly. Then, she looked at Anran, who was eating the breakfast he made with a happy and satisfied expression on her face. There was nothing strange about her at all, and she was relieved. She got up and said, ” “Since you’re fine, I’ll go back first.”
Anran smiled. &Quot; I was fine to begin with. You were the one who worried for nothing. &Quot;
Lin Li rolled her eyes at her, then turned her head to look at su Yicheng and said in a slightly threatening tone, ” you’d better explain yourself clearly. If I find out that you lied to our Anzi and dared to bully her, I don’t care if you’re the mayor or the Secretary. I won’t let you off! &Quot;
Su Yicheng only smiled and nodded. &Quot; okay. &Quot;
&Quot; hurry up and leave. You’re taking leave every day to slack off even though your performance is bad. Be careful not to get fired! &Quot; An ran teased her.
“You heartless little thing.” Lin Li rolled her eyes and waved her hand. &Quot; let’s go, let’s go. I don’t want to watch the lovey-dovey show between you two. &Quot;
Anran didn’t care. She only shouted at her back to tell her to be careful on the road, and then directly focused on eating her breakfast. She didn’t have an appetite just now, but now, because of su Yicheng’s promise, her appetite was actually whetted.
Su Yicheng politely sent Lin Li to the door.
As Lin Li turned to leave, she turned to look at him and said seriously, ” “I’ve asked someone to verify the photos. They’re not computer-synthesized, so they should be real. You did carry that woman into the hotel yesterday, right?”
Su Yicheng looked at her calmly and nodded. &Quot; the photo is real, but the person in the video isn’t me. &Quot;
&Quot; I don’t want to ask you the reason. Anran believes in you, and I hope you won’t let her down. &Quot; Lin Li warned.
Su Yicheng nodded. &Quot; I promise. &Quot; He understood why Anran had cared so much about Lin Li’s matters in the past. The few times that she had been in a bad mood, it had all been because of Lin Li. Now, looking at Lin Li, he somewhat understood why. It was because Lin Li treated her the same way she treated Lin Li. The two of them treated each other’s matters as their own matters seriously.
Lin Li didn’t say anything more. She just nodded and turned to leave.
Su Yicheng closed the door and entered the room. Anran was still sitting on the sofa, eating her breakfast.
He went forward and sat down opposite her. He wiped the sauce from the corner of her mouth and touched her head affectionately. Just as he was about to say something, the phone in his pocket rang. It was a call from Secretary Zheng. He said that he had already released a statement that the government would investigate this matter to the end. All the videos and photos on the internet had also been blocked and deleted.
When he hung up the phone and sat down in front of Anran again, Anran had already finished her breakfast.
Su Yicheng looked at her and said, ” that video is fake. I’m not the one in it. &Quot;
Anran nodded. &Quot; yes. &Quot; She believed what he said. Not only did she believe in him, but she also believed in herself.
&Quot; but that photo is real. I did carry Ling LAN into that hotel last night. &Quot; Su Yicheng looked into Anran’s eyes and said calmly, ”
“An Zi, did you see the video on the internet today?”
“What video?” Anran was a little confused. Even if she had been awake for a long time, she hadn’t turned on her computer recently because of her pregnancy. She had no idea what was going on.
On the other side of the phone, Lin Li seemed to have suddenly thought of something. She was silent for a while, and finally, she asked with a heavy tone, ” Zian, did su Yicheng come home last night? ”

When su Yicheng rushed home, aunt Zhang happened to be warming Anran’s milk in the kitchen. When she didn’t find Anran in the living room, she was so flustered that she didn’t even have time to change her shoes before she went straight into the master bedroom, but she didn’t find Anran in the room.
“Where’s an ran?” she asked aunt Zhang when she came out.
Mrs. Zhang didn’t understand the situation, so she only pointed at comfort and said, ” “Madam is in the study.”
Upon hearing this, su Yicheng’s heart sank. It seemed that she already knew. He pinched his eyebrows and asked aunt Zhang, ” “How’s Anran?” After seeing the video and the photo, did she believe it?
&Quot; Madam went straight into the study room this morning and didn’t even eat breakfast. She said she didn’t have an appetite. She’s finally willing to eat, but she only wants to drink milk. &Quot; Aunt Zhang said as she held the freshly-heated milk. She then looked at su Yicheng and tried to persuade him, ” &Quot; Sir, I don’t know what happened between you two, but pregnant women always have a bad temper. Please don’t take her seriously. &Quot;
Su Yicheng nodded at her, took the milk from her hand, and said, ” “I’ll bring it in.”
Auntie Zhang nodded and didn’t say anything else. She just handed him the milk in her hand.
He pushed the door open and saw Anran sitting in front of the computer, still staring at the screen.
Su Yicheng gently closed the door and walked to her side with the milk. Anran didn’t turn her head, thinking that it was still Mrs. Zhang who had come in. She simply said, ” Mrs. Zhang, leave it. I’ll drink it later. &Quot;
Su Yicheng sighed softly, put the milk in his hand aside, half-squatted next to her, and gently called out, ” “An ran.”
Anran was stunned for a moment, then slowly turned her head around and looked at su Yicheng in front of her. She was stunned for a moment, then just looked at him without saying a word.
Su Yicheng reached out and pulled her hand, which was placed on his lap and tightly clenched, and gently kissed it. He murmured, ” &Quot; I was afraid that you would misunderstand me, so I rushed back to explain before you saw it. I didn’t expect you to see it. &Quot;
Anran bit her lip tightly and let him kiss her hand. She felt his warm breath on the back of her hand, which was itchy and warm.
Su Yicheng raised his head and looked at her biting her lips so hard that she almost bit herself to the point of bleeding. He frowned and slowly reached out his other hand to gently caress her lips, murmuring, ” “Don’t bite yourself.”
Only then did Anran relax. She stared at him for a long time before saying, ” “Do you want to explain to me?” Tell her that the person up there wasn’t him and that he wasn’t with Ling LAN last night!
Su Yicheng looked at her, and his eyes met hers as he asked, ” “Do you believe me?”
Anran nodded and said without hesitation, ” “As long as you say it, I’ll believe it!” As long as he said it, she would believe it. Even if he was lying to her, she was willing to let him lie.
Upon hearing this, su Yicheng faintly smiled, then looked at her and said with certainty, ” &Quot; it’s not true. The person in the video isn’t me. I didn’t do anything to Ling LAN. &Quot; He looked into her eyes and promised, ” &Quot; an ran, I won’t betray you! &Quot;
After hearing his explanation, Anran smiled faintly, nodded, and said, ” “Alright, I believe you!” What she wanted was very simple, just a promise and confirmation from him.
Su Yicheng also laughed and touched her head, saying, ” “Have something to eat first. I’ll explain everything to you later, okay?”
Anran nodded. She had said that she had to trust him. In addition to being honest, trust was even more important between husband and wife. After being together for half a year, she remembered every bit of his kindness and consideration for her. If he were to betray her and their family like this, she would never believe it.
Because of her complete trust in Him, as long as he said it, she would believe it without any conditions!
“I want to eat your cooking.” Looking at him, an ran smiled faintly.
Upon hearing this, su Yicheng looked at her seriously for a while, then suddenly reached out and hugged her tightly in his arms. On the way back, he was so afraid that she would point to the photo on the computer and question him. He didn’t even know how he would answer. Fortunately, she trusted him and didn’t suspect him at all! Knowing this, all the uneasiness and worry in his heart were put down, because he knew that he could deal with everything that came next without any consideration. This included finding out the person who had posted the photos and videos! He would not let Ling LAN off the hook either!
Aunt Zhang saw the couple holding hands and walking out of the study with a smile. She knew that they were fine, so she went to clean up the house with peace of mind.
After Anran sat down in front of the bar, su Yicheng took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, and went straight into the kitchen to prepare breakfast for Anran. Anran, on the other hand, held a glass of milk and sat in front of the bar, watching his back as he busied himself for her with a faint smile.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Mrs. Zhang went to open the door. It was Lin Li. She was still worried, so she asked for leave from the company and rushed over. She was afraid that Anran would get into trouble because of the videos and photos on the internet. However, things seemed to be a little different from what she had expected. Su Yicheng was actually at home and was even cooking breakfast for Anran, while Anran was looking at him with a blissful smile on her face, as if the incident on the internet didn’t exist at all or had nothing to do with them.
When Anran saw Lin Li come over, she said with some disapproval, ” “Didn’t I tell you not to come over? why are you here again?”
Lin Li glanced at her and muttered in a low voice, ” “I’m just worried about you.” Then, she looked at su Yicheng, who was in the kitchen, and asked Anran in a low voice, ” “He explained everything to you?”
Anran nodded. &Quot; he said that the man in the video wasn’t him, ” she said. &Quot; I believe him. &Quot;
“What about the photos?” She had gotten someone to verify the photos, and there were no traces of Photoshop.
&Quot; even if that photo is real and he really carried Ling LAN into the hotel, I believe that he has his own reasons. He didn’t do anything else. &Quot; She turned her head to look at the man who was still frying eggs for her in the kitchen, then turned back to Lin Li and said, ” &Quot; Lin Li, I believe in him. I believe that he won’t betray me and this family! &Quot; His tone was extremely certain, so firm that no one could shake it.
Hearing her say that, Lin Li naturally had nothing to say. She naturally wanted Anran to be well and hoped that everything on the internet was fake.
&Quot; Anran, have breakfast first. &Quot; Su Yicheng came over with breakfast and placed it on the low table in front of Anran. He looked at Lin Li and nodded with a faint smile. &Quot; miss Lin. &Quot;
Lin Li glanced at him and only nodded coldly. Then, she looked at Anran, who was eating the breakfast he made with a happy and satisfied expression on her face. There was nothing strange about her at all, and she was relieved. She got up and said, ” “Since you’re fine, I’ll go back first.”
Anran smiled. &Quot; I was fine to begin with. You were the one who worried for nothing. &Quot;
Lin Li rolled her eyes at her, then turned her head to look at su Yicheng and said in a slightly threatening tone, ” you’d better explain yourself clearly. If I find out that you lied to our Anzi and dared to bully her, I don’t care if you’re the mayor or the Secretary. I won’t let you off! &Quot;
Su Yicheng only smiled and nodded. &Quot; okay. &Quot;
&Quot; hurry up and leave. You’re taking leave every day to slack off even though your performance is bad. Be careful not to get fired! &Quot; An ran teased her.
“You heartless little thing.” Lin Li rolled her eyes and waved her hand. &Quot; let’s go, let’s go. I don’t want to watch the lovey-dovey show between you two. &Quot;
Anran didn’t care. She only shouted at her back to tell her to be careful on the road, and then directly focused on eating her breakfast. She didn’t have an appetite just now, but now, because of su Yicheng’s promise, her appetite was actually whetted.
Su Yicheng politely sent Lin Li to the door.
As Lin Li turned to leave, she turned to look at him and said seriously, ” “I’ve asked someone to verify the photos. They’re not computer-synthesized, so they should be real. You did carry that woman into the hotel yesterday, right?”
Su Yicheng looked at her calmly and nodded. &Quot; the photo is real, but the person in the video isn’t me. &Quot;
&Quot; I don’t want to ask you the reason. Anran believes in you, and I hope you won’t let her down. &Quot; Lin Li warned.
Su Yicheng nodded. &Quot; I promise. &Quot; He understood why Anran had cared so much about Lin Li’s matters in the past. The few times that she had been in a bad mood, it had all been because of Lin Li. Now, looking at Lin Li, he somewhat understood why. It was because Lin Li treated her the same way she treated Lin Li. The two of them treated each other’s matters as their own matters seriously.
Lin Li didn’t say anything more. She just nodded and turned to leave.
Su Yicheng closed the door and entered the room. Anran was still sitting on the sofa, eating her breakfast.
He went forward and sat down opposite her. He wiped the sauce from the corner of her mouth and touched her head affectionately. Just as he was about to say something, the phone in his pocket rang. It was a call from Secretary Zheng. He said that he had already released a statement that the government would investigate this matter to the end. All the videos and photos on the internet had also been blocked and deleted.
When he hung up the phone and sat down in front of Anran again, Anran had already finished her breakfast.
Su Yicheng looked at her and said, ” that video is fake. I’m not the one in it. &Quot;
Anran nodded. &Quot; yes. &Quot; She believed what he said. Not only did she believe in him, but she also believed in herself.
&Quot; but that photo is real. I did carry Ling LAN into that hotel last night. &Quot; Su Yicheng looked into Anran’s eyes and said calmly, ”
