Chapter 402: The First Time She Didn’t Control It

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.
