Xuxu smiled . "It's alright . First Uncle, please say everything that's on your mind . "
If he was feeling hesitant, most likely it was bad news .
She tried to prepare herself mentally for whatever he had to say as her thoughts whirled rapidly .
Since she had been so straightforward, Yan Weiye chose not to beat around the bush as well . "The rumors concerning Third Yan and you are spreading like wildfire . It's affecting the company's image and reputation . "
He pulled a heavy sigh and helplessly continued, "It doesn't just concern our company . Today Princess Lu Fei from Country Y had called and said that it's affecting the royal family's reputation as well . This might affect the collaboration between us and them . They hope that you can clarify the rumors and apologize at a press conference . "
Xuxu was stumped for words . She tried to open her mouth to respond but her throat seemed to be choked .
She felt particularly upset and wronged in front of the man who was almost like a father to her—someone who was always so kind and warm to her .

"But everything is just a rumor, it's not true . "
She didn't understand why she had to pay attention to such ridiculous rumors and even had to apologize for it .
So many celebrities had scandals before and she didn't see them clarifying at press conferences, not to mention making an official apology .
Why did she have to do that?
Xuxu's eyes began to sting and were turning slightly red .
Yan Weiye was quick to console her when he saw her expression . "Xuxu, don't be upset . I'm not saying that I don't believe you . "
Xuxu pressed her lips tightly as she tried to compose herself . She nodded lightly and said with a quivering voice, "Alright, let me take some time to consider this before I give you a proper reply very soon . "

She thought that for the sake of Grandmother, the Yan family and everyone who loved her . Those reasons were more than sufficient .
"Xuxu, I know how hard this is for you . " Yan Weiye stretched his hand to pat Xuxu's shoulder . He couldn't bear to look at her in the eye, especially that Xuxu's own orbs were red in a grievance .
He intended to console and advise her by saying that since she had been elevated to such a high and prominent status, sometimes she would have to do things that were not of her own volition . But he forced his words back .
Xuxu managed a slight smile . "I'm part of Flourish & Prosper now, so I should do my part . "
Yan Weiye nodded in appreciation . "I know you're an understanding child . "
After chatting for a short while, they left the cafe . Though the sun was shining, the cold winds were brutal and piercing .
Xuxu walked towards Flourish & Prosper's building with a heavy heart .
Her good mood was destroyed .
"Sister Xuxu, this document needs your signature . "
"Sister Xuxu, the PR department just called saying that they need to make a trip to the event venue in the afternoon . "
The moment she stepped in, her colleagues took turns to report to her .
"Sister Xuxu…"
"I got it!"
She lashed out and everyone was baffled on their feet . The office became hushed in a split second and the silence was ear piercing .
Pairs of eyes were staring at her apprehensively .
After a moment of blinding realization, she instantly regretted how she had allowed her emotions to affect her at her workplace . She felt terrible and frustrated .
This was the first time ever… that she wasn't able to control her emotions .
She slumped into her seat and used her hand to wipe her face . She raised her head to look at her colleagues who stood around her . She massaged her temples as she apologized, "Sorry, please carry on . "
She lowered her head and proceeded to switch on her computer . She began to pore through a document on her desk .
She needed to find something to do, to distract her and to give herself time to calm down .
Xuxu didn't let herself have a moment of rest the entire day .
