Yan Rusheng didn't return the entire night . Early next morning, Xuxu saw an extensive article on the front page of the newspaper describing how Charles had clarified their relationship via a press conference yesterday .
And he had sternly declared to the media outlets that if they don't stop spreading rumors, he would be taking legal action against them .
The press conference lasted for only five minutes and every sentence he made was in her defense .
In the photo, Charles was wearing a jewel-blue suit and he appeared poised and composed in front of the cameras . His innate elegance and grace radiated from head to toe .
But his usual gentle eyes had turned cold and intense .
Xuxu could tell from his expression that he was enraged . He had really flared up this time .
She finished reading the article and the corners of her mouth curled up . She was incredibly touched and grateful .

Judging from this, Charles was indeed a true friend .
Xuxu drove to work and when she reached the building, all the employees she met in the hall greeted her continuously .
She nodded at them with a smile .
Today, her footsteps seemed more hurried than usual as she wanted to get to her office as soon as possible .
She walked together with a knot of employees towards the elevator and a middle-aged man called her loudly from behind her .
"Xuxu!"
Wen Xuxu halted her footsteps and turned around . She saw the man and after a moment of shock, she beamed brightly at him . "First Uncle!"

It was Yan Rusheng's eldest uncle, Yan Weiye .
He wore a dull gray blazer and matching trousers . He was nearing 60 years of age but he still stood tall and energetic .
She hurried towards him and asked, "Why are you here so early?"
When she was a child, she didn't get to spend much time with Yan Weiye . The last time she saw him even was at her grandmother's funeral .
When she had just entered the Yan family, he was busy managing Flourish & Prosper and he always needed to travel for work . So he was hardly at home .
But she remembered fondly that he would always get her a gift when he came back from his work trips . Sometimes, it was something delicious or simply a small ornament .
He didn't even get anything for his two sons .
In a nutshell, the Yan family had been incredibly kind to her . She could never forget their kindness and how indebted she was to the whole family .
Other than devoting herself to the Yan family, she had nothing else to repay them with .
She surveyed Yan Weiye from head to toe and she said with concern, "First Uncle, you seem to have lost a lot of weight . "
Yan Weiye grinned and stroked his face . "I've been very busy lately and didn't have much time to rest . "
Xuxu peered at the door and asked, "First Uncle, did you reach the capital city this morning?"
If not he would have certainly gone home .
"I'm here to settle some stuff in the capital city . " Yan Weiye continued, "I was too early so I decided to drop by and look for you . "
"Sure . " Xuxu nodded and said, "Let's go upstairs then . "
However, Yan Weiye didn't budge and said in a hushed tone instead, "Let's go to a cafe nearby . "
His smile and expression turned awkward and Xuxu guessed that he had something to say to her . She agreed, "Okay, let's go . "
The cafe was quite empty at that time of day .
Wen Xuxu found a table at the corner . They both settled in with Yan Weiye sitting in front of Xuxu .
They requested for two glasses of water .
After settling down, Xuxu decided to start the ball rolling as she was afraid that Yan Weiye might not be able to broach the topic . "First Uncle, do you have something to tell me?"
Yan Weiye was startled when he heard her and shook his head . He mocked himself, "Xuxu, I'm getting old indeed . I can't seem to hide my thoughts from you . "
