With his old flame's return, it seemed that their marriage is falling apart . There has been a conjecture that besides getting the contract for the company, the young madam had done this on purpose to seek revenge upon her husband for having a fling with his old flame . '
Xuxu finished reading the entire article and she was livid . Her fingers were clenched tightly together as a result . Her whole body trembled as she crushed the newspapers .
Her bright eyes looked like tiny consolidated fragments of ice—piercingly cold and sinister .
Wang Xiaoya was alarmed by the look on Xuxu's face and she shuddered uncontrollably .
This wasn't just about her scandal with Charles . Someone was intentionally plotting to sow discord between her and Yan Rusheng . They wanted to bring down Flourish & Prosper and to tarnish Yan Rusheng's reputation .

She pulled her chair and sat down .
She switched on her computer and then said to her assistant sitting opposite to her, "Mi Ling, get me some water . "
"Yes, right away . " Her assistant stood up instantly and received the cup from her hands .
Xuxu leaned against her chair and held a pen in her hand . She was in deep thoughts, trying to guess who the culprit behind this article was .
It's true that the media loves spinning stories . But they wouldn't have dared to publish an article like this without taking ethics into consideration .
She thought to herself, if Yan Rusheng read this article, he would even be angrier than she was .

But will he believe her?
Yan Rusheng's male secretary brought a document to Xuxu and said, "Sister Xuxu, the marketing department sent this document and they need President Yan's signature . "
Xuxu's thoughts were interrupted by his voice and she threw a fleeting glance at the document in his hand . She lifted her head and told him . "You can bring it in . There isn't a need to report to me in the future regarding such matters . You're his secretary so you should report to him directly . "
She wasn't his secretary anymore . She had no official job title and that was the reason why she didn't want her own office .
She just wanted to stay and share his workload with him .
There was nothing personal about this decision .
"Noted," he answered and turned around to walk to Yan Rusheng's office .
Xuxu changed her mind abruptly and called him back . "Wait, I'll go this time . "
She rose from her seat and took the document from the secretary .
She walked to Yan Rusheng's office and knocked on the door .
"Enter," sounded a chilling voice from inside the room .
Xuxu held her breath and turned the doorknob, she could hear that he was talking on the phone .
When Yan Rusheng saw Xuxu, he then said to the person on the other line, "If there is nothing else, I'm hanging up . "
He ended the call and placed his phone on the desk . He glanced at her with a distant and rigid stare .
Xuxu walked to his desk and passed him the document . "The marketing department needs your signature for this document . "
"Did you meet Charles yesterday?" Yan Rusheng received the document and asked Xuxu as he flipped the pages .
His head was lowered and she could neither see his face nor his eyes . She had no idea what was on his mind right now .
He was calm, collected and sounded aloof . There wasn't any trace of emotion in his tone .
At this moment, Xuxu became apprehensive and fearful . She knew him too well to know that this matter had indeed crossed his boundaries .
