At that time, the security guards arrived and hurriedly pushed the reporters away. However, there were too many reporters and too few security guards—it was complete pandemonium. As they blocked off the reporters on one side, the ones from another side took the chance and rushed toward the car again. Still, the situation was much better than before. A security guard swiftly called for backup through his walkie-talkie.

In the end, the security guards could only surround the car and were barely able to prevent the reporters from going near it.

Fang Anci grabbed onto Mu Sisi’s arm and said to her, “Let’s go, we should seize the chance to hurry back home now. You can hide in the house for as long as you wish after we enter the house. We can’t hide in the car for our whole lives.”

Fang Anci shielded Mu Sisi as they got out of the car. The reporters rushed toward them immediately while the security guards tried to prevent them from being pushed and trampled on in the havoc. Still, they were unable to stop the reporters from dashing forward desperately.

“Miss Mu, who was the man in the photo? Was it your husband Mr. Gao?”

“But Miss Mu, according to rumors, the place of the incident in the photos is in a budget chain hotel. Mr. Gao and you come from prestigious families and wouldn’t choose such a cheap hotel supposedly. Could it be that the guy wasn’t your husband Mr. Gao?”

“Miss Mu, when did this incident happen? Before or after your wedding?”

“Miss Mu, was that the reason you suddenly married Mr. Gao at the spur of the moment?”

“Miss Mu, did Mr. Gao know about this before the wedding?”

“Miss Mu, was the Mu Family aware of it? If they were aware of it, were they deliberately hiding it from the Gao family?”

“Stop talking about it. The situation was different from what you’re all saying. No!” Mu Sisi suddenly glared fiercely at the reporters who were questioning her.

“What really happened then? Please explain to us for a while,” asked a reporter who seized the opportunity immediately.

“Get lost! All of you, get lost!” shouted Mu Sisi hysterically. “Get lost, don’t touch me!”

“Let’s go back home!” Fang Anci hurriedly dragged Mu Sisi into the building and stopped her from being pestered by the reporters. At this juncture, any words uttered by her would most probably be interpreted wrongly.

The reporters still took the opportunity to snap pictures of Mu Sisi incessantly.

Fang Anci managed to drag Mu Sisi into the house with great difficulty. Mu Sisi went into her bedroom and locked herself in it. She did not answer the door when Fang Anci knocked at it.

Fang Anci sighed heavily and went to the living room. She called Gao Jingqiu but he did not pick up the call.

…

Qi Chengzhi and Song Yu was busy preparing for Little Youjin’s full moon celebration and did not take note of this kind of news. They felt quite tired after they brought Little Youjin back home after the banquet.

During the banquet, Yan Beicheng and the others tried to give drinks to Qi Chengzhi under the table. They told him that his child was born and he no longer needed to abstain from smoking and drinking. He had no excuses to decline their requests.

Qi Chengzhi’s mood was extremely good, so he did not refuse their requests when they urged him to drink more. As a result, he was a little euphoric after he was home. He rested on the bed right after he reached home and switched on the television. He was switching the channels absent-mindedly.

Fortunately, this guy could still behave well after he was drunk and was aware of his limits. Although he drank a lot of alcohol, the volume was not too excessive. He could even remain sober and control himself. He did not talk much and laid on the bed alone in silence.

Song Yu remembered that she saw him in a few dinners before, and when others were behaving repulsively after they were drunk, he was still behaving gracefully with impeccable manners.

Aunt Yang gave a glass of honey lemon water to Qi Chengzhi to relieve the effects of the alcohol. Song Yu was sitting beside Qi Chengzhi, coaxing Little Youjin into sleeping.

“Let me coax him, you get some rest.” Qi Chengzhi pushed Song Yu’s hair which was hanging beside her ears to behind her ears and proceeded to carry Little Youjin in his arms.

“You were busy for the whole day, I’m not tired yet. Besides, it’s not tiring to coax him,” insisted Song Yu. “You’ve been taking care of Youjin these few nights so that I could sleep well. You should have some proper rest since you drank quite a lot of alcohol today.”

Qi Chengzhi smiled at her. He was still not drowsy even though he was tipsy—it was the optimum level of insobriety. He started to caress Song Yu’s hair softly and gazed at her as she lowered her head to coax Little Youjin into sleeping.

After a while, Song Yu adjusted her posture to lie in his arms and watched the television with him.

Qi Chengzhi simply switched the channels constantly, but he stopped when he switched to a channel that was broadcasting news. In the footage showing a chaotic scene, a group of reporters were surrounding two women.

“Stop talking about it. The situation was different from what you’re all saying. No!” A sharp female sound could be heard from the speaker of the television and they saw Mu Sisi’s deranged face shortly after.

They found out the things that had happened to Mu Sisi from the news report.

Qi Chengzhi immediately took the laptop on the bedside cabinet and searched for information about the incident on the internet. After that, he called Lawyer Song and asked him to prepare the security footage of the pub. Then, he called Chang Lai and asked him to go to the budget chain-hotel to make a copy of that night’s security footage.

…

At that night, Mu Huili and Mu Huaisheng went to the Gao family’s house. They let Fang Anci keep Mu Sisi company at home to prevent her from doing anything dangerous.

The members of the Gao Family were sitting in a row with stony expressions. Mu Huili and Mu Huaisheng sat opposite to them.

“You said you wanted to explain to us on the phone, what do you need to explain? Please tell us,” said Gao Shenghe with a frigid expression.

“Director Gao, we were truly unaware of that incident. We only found out about it today when we received the same mail as you. Although I sounded calm on the phone, I was extremely mad. However, I shouldn’t vent my anger on you when I was talking to you, right? Before you called us, we asked Sisi about it and she admitted it. In reality… she was drugged by someone…” Mu Huili gave a heavy sigh and lowered his head like he was embarrassed to look at the members of the Gao family.

“In-laws, Jingqiu, our family had wronged your family in this matter, we had involved you all in this incident and brought troubles to your family. We know that Jingqiu had to bear a huge amount of stress due to it. This trouble was caused by Sisi, so please just tell us what we could do to make you all feel better and less angry,” Mu Huili could only talk in such a submissive way.
