When Tong Le returned to Zong Zeyu's side, everything seemed normal, without any signs of trouble. However, this state of calm did not last long before an unexpected incident occurred.
Suddenly, a flurry of gossip about Zong Zeyu erupted online, with various marketing accounts frantically reposting the news. Within just thirty minutes, Zong Zeyu's name surged to the top three trending topics.
Tong Le casually clicked on the entertainment news and saw the photos. They were indeed real; in one of them, Zong Zeyu was helping the drunken Jin Zi Meng into a business vehicle. The angle from which the photos were taken was particularly cunning, deliberately capturing a misleading perspective. From the images, the physical contact between Zong Zeyu and Jin Zi Meng appeared extremely ambiguous, and the photographer had avoided including any bystanders, focusing solely on the two of them.
This was clearly an intentional smear campaign.
The overwhelming articles accused Zong Zeyu of being unfaithful to his fiancée, claiming he was cheating with a female actress who led an extremely scandalous private life. The marketing accounts even revealed information about Jin Zi Meng, suggesting that she had gone to great lengths to seduce Zong Zeyu in her quest for fame.
Tong Le found this all laughable; she knew the truth behind the situation. On the day they had been drinking together, it was evident that someone had deliberately set them up.
However, her amusement quickly turned to seriousness as she worried about the potential severe impact this could have on Zong Zeyu's reputation. His personal standing could affect Zong Group, which would directly influence Zong Zeyu's future business developments, especially regarding tonight's corporate collaboration.
The bosses at the wine gathering were respectable individuals. Although some had glanced at their phones for news, no one dared to bring such matters to the dining table.
After the gathering ended and everyone dispersed, Tong Le felt anxious. She noticed that Zong Zeyu had seen the news as well and shared her concerns about how it might affect their collaborative efforts, which could very well be influenced by public opinion.
As Tong Le and Zong Zeyu left the hotel, he instructed his subordinates to immediately address the false statements circulating online.
Meanwhile, Hua Rongxiao was not about to miss out on this spectacle. She stood in a corner of the hotel lobby, watching as Zong Zeyu and Tong Le hurriedly departed.
Hua Rongxiao relished the moment; she enjoyed seeing people she disliked face setbacks.
Behind her sat Zong Caishan in an electric wheelchair. He turned to Hua Rongxiao and asked, "How did I do? With this scandal involving Zong Zeyu, the Zong Family will surely suffer. That Jin Zi Meng won't be able to survive in the entertainment industry either; they brought this upon themselves!"
Hua Rongxiao turned to look at the smug Zong Caishan and thought to herself that this small act of revenge was nothing. If he truly had any capability, he should expel both Zong Zeyu and Zong Jin from Zong Group. After all, he bore the same surname.
With that thought, Hua Rongxiao turned and left.
Zong Caishan pulled out his phone and called his subordinates in a state of agitation. "Continue spreading rumors! This time focus on Jin Zi Meng! Make sure everyone knows she climbed up by sleeping with directors! Let her never step foot in the film industry again! Blacklist her!"
When Tong Le and Zong Zeyu returned home, public opinion online continued to escalate. Netizens quickly dug up various pieces of information, including details about Tong Le herself. They labeled her as the most unfortunate fiancée who hadn’t even married into the Zong Family before being publicly humiliated.
Cui Zhi was nearly beside herself with worry; as she prepared for bed that night, sleep eluded her completely.
Upon hearing about these events, Zong Jin immediately returned home with Wen to discuss their concerns.
Zong Jin planned to resolve this matter with money; after all, there was no information that couldn’t be suppressed with enough cash—it was merely a question of how much it would cost.
Cui Zhi could not accept her son being subjected to such humiliation. If they allowed these falsehoods to spread unchecked online, it would undoubtedly impact the business of the Zong Family and even their stock prices.
Tong Le sat on the sofa, silent and deep in thought, calmly considering her options for a solution. Zong Zeyu and Zong Jin began to leverage their personal networks, preparing to spend a significant amount of money to suppress various information circulating online. Wen stood nearby, shaking her head repeatedly; she believed that using money to resolve such matters was not a good approach.
At that moment, Tong Le's phone rang. It was Wu Youyou.
When the call connected, Wu Youyou shouted, "Tong Le Jie! Have you seen the news? I'm going crazy over here! I’m tearing apart those rumor-mongers! I'm clarifying things in the comments of all the major marketing accounts for you! They’re so disgusting! They’re doing this on purpose!"
Tong Le's eyes suddenly lit up; it was Wu Youyou who had given her a reminder.
"Thank you, Wu Youyou! I have to hang up now!" Tong Le said hurriedly.
After ending the call, Tong Le quickly dialed Jin Zi Meng. When the call connected, she could hear Jin Zi Meng crying on the other end.
"Jin Zi Meng, you need to take a taxi to the Zong Family right now—faster the better! Don’t bother tidying up; just come immediately!"
Although Jin Zi Meng was feeling down, she always listened to Tong Le without hesitation. Whatever Tong Le asked her to do, she would never waver.
