Chapter 2776: Chapter 2776: Overwhelming Scandal! (Part 3)

"I don’t know, I just feel like that figure looks really familiar, but I can’t remember who it is." Li frowned, glanced over again, then turned around, ready to leave.

As soon as she turned around, she caught sight of Meimei standing not far away, saw how pale her little face was, and quickly walked over.

"Yu Xin, are you feeling sick? Why do you look so terrible?" Li handed the documents in her hand to Fang, asked him to put them on the desk, then reached out to support Meimei.

"I’ll take you to the infirmary."

"...I’m fine, Li. Are all the things they said true?" Meimei stared at the dense crowd in front, listening to their so-called casual gossip, and felt like someone was strangling her throat.

It hurt so much she could barely breathe.

She reached out and grabbed Li’s arm hard, wanting to get a little confirmation from her eyes.

"This kind of gossip is just for fun, don’t take it to heart. I heard our dear CEO is a sis-con. Maybe he just spoils his little sister a bit more, and the media refuses to let it go. The more popular you are, the more scandals you get!"

Li raised her brows indifferently.

"Then if he really likes his sister, does that count as in-cest?" Meimei looked at the people up ahead who were still chattering away, her delicate little face so pale it was bloodless.

"What stupid question is that? Who would really like their own sister like that? Wouldn’t that be a pervert?" Li blurted out without thinking.

Hearing that, Meimei swayed, almost unable to stand.

If he liked her, he’d turn from a male god into a pervert in everyone’s eyes...

"Even if there’s no blood relationship, it still doesn’t count?" Meimei tightened her grip on Li, like she was clinging to the last straw that could save her.

"Yu Xin, what’s wrong with you? It’s just an entertainment report. Why are you asking me so seriously..."

"Nothing, I’m just curious." Meimei suddenly pulled her hand back, a flash of panic crossing her eyes, guilty as if someone had seen right through her secret.

She turned, wanting to walk back to her seat. Just as she took a step, her knees suddenly went weak and her whole body pitched forward.

"Yu Xin—"

Li had just reached out to grab her when a tall, handsome figure flashed in front of her. In a lightning-fast movement, he rushed over and caught Meimei firmly in his arms.

"M-Mr. CEO..."

Li stared at the scene in shock, her lips slightly parted, eyes wide.

Why would the CEO come to their Planning Department? And he was holding Yu Xin.

As soon as she spoke, everyone in the Planning Department froze and all turned to look this way. The people who had been gossiping just now saw Dan Tingye appear in the department, and each of their faces went pale as they stared in panic at his dark, stormy expression.

Dan Tingye ignored everyone around him. His deep black eyes were fixed on the girl in his arms. Seeing how colorless her little face was, his arms tightened around her abruptly.

"Let go of me." Meimei looked at the Dan Tingye who had appeared out of nowhere. There wasn’t the slightest trace of joy on her face. As soon as she came back to her senses, she jolted away from his arms like she’d been shocked by electricity, backing up a few steps to avoid his touch.

Before Dan Tingye could speak, she cut him off.

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. CEO. I’m fine."

"..."

Dan Tingye’s body went rigid. Seeing how distant she was, his hand at his side clenched into a tight fist.

Grinding his teeth, he turned and looked at the cluster of gossiping employees, his gaze turning icy. "The Group hired you so you can spend working hours chatting and chewing over other people’s business?!"
