Chapter 36 - I've Implicated You

When Gong You saw the news, he immediately called Gong Hao and Fu Xi to the study room.

He slammed the report on the table and stared at Fu Xi coldly.

“Since you’ve entered our Gong Family, I won’t hold it against you for all the things that happened before. But look at what these are, hmm?”

“For the sake of your own interests, you chose a male pet at the start of the auditions. To let an unknown man become the second male lead, what else could it be if not an unspoken rule? Other than his looks, what other potential does he have?”

“How can you promote someone who doesn’t have any acting skills to be the second male lead? I think you’ve been blinded by lust!”

The more Gong You spoke, the angrier he became. He glared fiercely at Gong Hao again. No wonder he didn’t care about the matter between Fu Xi and Feng Yuan back then. Now it seemed he had other thoughts since he couldn’t satisfy her after being crippled.

Useless cripple!

Gong You was cursing furiously, and Fu Xi felt a little stifled as she clenched her fists.

“Dad, I didn’t hire him to sleep with him. I just wanted to find a fresh looking actor; older actors don’t fit the bill.”

“Shut up.” Gong You interrupted her. “This matter has severely affected the reputation of the Gong Family. You are to leave the company immediately, remove all your duties and choose a new role.”

Fu Xi narrowed her eyes. Gong You was warning her that all her efforts would be for naught. How could she accept this?

Just as she was getting anxious, Gong Hao grabbed her hand.

He gave her a reassuring look and squeezed her hand tightly before turning to look at the cold-faced Gong You.

“Father, this has nothing to do with Xi-er. Someone deliberately slandered her. I believe that she will give you a proper explanation.”

“The important thing is the Gong family’s reputation.” Gong You emphasized, and Gong Hao nodded.

“I understand, Dad. Just wait and see. If I can’t solve it, I will hand over all the companies in my hands and withdraw from Gong Corporation’s management.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Alright.” Seeing that she was serious, Gong You’s expression finally eased up a little. He waved his hand impatiently and let the two of them leave.

Fu Xi hugged Gong Hao the moment they walked out of the Gong residence.

“Ah Hao, I implicated you.”

It would be fine if she handled this matter well. Once there was a deviation, the few companies that Gong Hao managed with great difficulty would return to Gong You’s hands. He would completely lose his power in the Gong Corporation.

In other words, what Gong Hao gambled on was the power he obtained after lying low for more than ten years. It was his entire fortune!

“I believe in my Xi’er. Besides, we are husband and wife. How can I watch you suffer in humiliation?”

Gong Hao ran his fingers through her long, silky hair.

“The most urgent thing right now is to deal with Jin Hai first.”

“I know.” Fu Xi nodded and took a deep breath.

“I just contacted him. He asked me to meet him at his house alone with thirty million dollars. As long as he relents and gives me a video to prove my innocence, I’ll be able to make a comeback.”

“That’s good.” Gong Hao thought about it and frowned. “Be careful when you go.”

“I will.”

Fu Xi agreed.

She told Gong Hao to leave and drove herself to the place Jin Hai had mentioned.

It was a small apartment. Fu Xi looked up at the light coming through the window and tightened the zipper on her chest.

“Time to go upstairs.”

She let out a low sigh and knocked on the door with the heavy box. Jin Hai smiled and opened the door.

“Young Madam, you’re quite punctual.”

“I’ve brought the money. Where’s the video of you proving my innocence?”

Fu Xi’s face was cold. Jin Hai pointed at the sofa.

“Sit there and wait. I want to inspect the goods.”
