Hidden beauty in a golden house?* Is that what they meant?
*It means a deliberate hint that a guy/girl is having an affair with a younger woman. Or in this context she is keeping a woman.
In the moment of Xia Shutong’s confusion, several more messages appeared in the chat group.
Mad Young Master: 【Speaking of this, I haven’t met the little beauty from Xia Shutong’s family yet. I wonder if there will be a chance in the future… hehehe.jpg】
Flowery Lord: 【Don’t overthink it. Everyone knows how precious Xia Shutong’s little girl is to her. If you dare to harm her even for a bit, Xia Shutong would destroy you, even if it meant her own destruction.】
Sea City Tyrant: 【That’s right, and I heard that Xia Shutong secretly registered marriage with that girl without the knowledge of her family.】
Dragon House’s Young Master: 【Tsk, I wonder if they will get divorced now.】
Mad Young Master: 【Considering how doting Xia Shutong is towards her, she should let her go. If they really divorce, I’ll pursue her. Can Xia Shutong control it?】
Flowery Lord: 【But I think that twisted Xia Shutong wouldn’t be willing to let someone go. Maybe it was different before, but now that she is paralyzed, she probably just wants to keep the little beauty by her side.】
Outside the screen, Xia Shutong watched in astonishment.
No, what are they talking about? Why can’t she understand it?
She… kept a beauty? And she got married too? How is that possible!
Isn’t she a girl? How can she marry someone of the same sex?
Xia Shutong vaguely remembered something and immediately exited WeChat. She searched on the browser and indeed found news about the legalization of same-sex marriage ten years ago.
Xia Shutong: !!!
Is it possible that what they said is true? Follow the newest chapters on novelping.com.
At this moment, Xia Shutong’s impression of herself before the memory loss changed from “cruel queen” to “insanely cruel and depraved queen.”
Not only was she vicious and cruel, but she was also consumed by lust, completely devoid of conscience, and forced an innocent girl to marry her!
At this time, Qian Lingling finished gathering video evidence. Just as she turned around, she saw Xia Shutong looking at the screen in terror, her hand holding the phone slightly trembling.
It was the first time Qian Lingling had seen Xia Shutong look so frightened.
“President Xia?” Qian Lingling asked anxiously, “Did you see something? Or did you remember something?”
After a while, Xia Shutong finally calmed down and handed over the chat records to Qian Lingling, saying, “Xiao Qian, is what they said true?”
Qian Lingling looked through the gossip messages in the group one by one.
“The first one, they claim that you publicly slapped the president of the Wang Corporation at a banquet, and shortly after, their company faced bankruptcy… Well, this one is true. I also found a video clip of that incident.”
“The second one, they say that after taking over Wutong Company, you kicked out your sister Xia Hongye and publicly berated her… Well, this one is also true. However, it happened quite a while ago and there are only a few photos available.”
“The third one, they say that you set your dog on the young master from the Wan family and left him badly injured… Well, this one is true as well, but it’s not as exaggerated as they claim in the group. Besides, it happened in response to the Wan family member harassing you.”
While saying this, Qian Lingling didn’t even blink her eyes. Her doll-like face showed no emotions, as if she didn’t think Xia Shutong did anything wrong.
In fact, there was even a feeling of “Oh, they’re clearly bullying President Xia, so how can we blame her?” in the air.
It seemed like she had gained a deeper understanding of her past self.
How can someone with Xia Shutong’s character be a good person?
“The fourth claim…”
“The fifth claim…”
Qian Lingling continued to read calmly, but burst into laughter when she reached the part about a hidden beauty in a golden house.
“Haha… They made it up just like it’s real. If you had time to hide a beauty in a golden house, how could I not know?”
“Huh?” Xia Shutong was stunned for two seconds. “Is it fake? Then did I secretly marry a girl?”
“Of course not,” Qian Lingling confirmed. “You are so busy, where would you find time to date and get married? But there have always been rumors in the industry that you kept beauties and keep a house full of young men relying on your support. These are just baseless rumors, please don’t believe them.”
After considering for a moment, Xia Shutong nodded.
She could accept herself transforming from an innocent little bunny into a feared big bad wolf.
But she absolutely could not accept the idea of her “hiding a beauty in a golden house.”
How could she possibly force an innocent young girl to marry her and keep her by her side? This is not just bad, but it is completely unconscionable.
Upon hearing Qian Lingling say that this news was false, Xia Shutong felt a huge weight lifted off her shoulders, and she instantly relaxed.
She quickly regained her composure and started watching the videos and written materials collected by Qian Lingling.
