Afternoon Hengyuan Group 21st Floor

"Knock, knock, knock." There was a sudden knock on the door outside Lin Jingran's office. "Come in," he did not look up, but responded loudly while signing.

The door was opened, and the man who came in was dressed in a suit and tie, wearing formal black-framed glasses, holding a thick stack of documents in his hand. He greeted Lin Jingran: "Hello, Mr. Lin."

Lin Jingran raised his head slightly, nodded to him, and handed the signed document to his assistant Lu Xiang in front of him: "Take it." Lu Xiang said okay, glanced at the person in front of him, took the document and left in a hurry.

"Go sit over there," Lin Jingran stood up and motioned the person who had just come in to sit over there on the sofa. The man nodded slightly and said as he walked over, "Boss Lin, I have already checked what you asked me to check. This is all their information."

Lin Jingran sat on the sofa, took the information he handed over and began to read it.

"Is this a purposeful rumor or just a random one?" he asked as he watched.

“Someone planned it.”

"Did you find out who it was?"

"It's still being confirmed. This is a bit difficult."

"Sue them," Lin Jingran put down the documents and looked at the people in front of him with a sharp gaze, "Don't let any of them go."

"Okay, I'll get ready right away."

Lin Jingran nodded and instructed: "We must find out the mastermind."

In the past two days, or to be exact, starting from yesterday, a large number of "skinny horse" rumors suddenly began to appear on the Internet, targeting Lin Yingci, and they were aggressive, saying that she was not a rich family's daughter at all, not an adopted "daughter", but a "goddaughter", a "skinny horse", and that her sponsor was planning to make her a star. There was also a top-secret document circulating on the Internet, which wrote about everything from her adoption to how she "served" the sponsor, with more than 10 pages of vivid descriptions, and also wrote about the cover of the book she had previously appeared on with An Yishang, saying that she had such good resources because of the sponsor's support.

Lin Jingran had already read the entire document and was furious. As expected, Lin Yehao also knew about it, but unfortunately he was still on a business trip in the United States.

He was so angry that his teeth were itching, but he still had to stay calm. Lin Jingran took a deep breath and called Lin Yingci.

"Hello," her voice was soft and gentle, inexplicably reassuring.

"Where?" Lin Jingran stood up and slowly walked to the French window. The setting sun not far away was spreading its afterglow, charming and gorgeous.

"With Shushu, ready to go back."

"I'll pick you up." Lin Jingran quickly followed up her words, "Give me an address."

"it is good."

Over there, Shang Heng was swiping his phone vigorously in the restaurant, chatting with some netizens:

"Do you have a brain? She only shoots a cover photo with the sponsor? Why not act in a TV series? And she still wants to study in a university in China?"

——He kept typing on his phone, his face livid,

"You think you're so great after reading this crappy document? Someone just made up a story and fooled you around, you idiot."

"Documents are not evidence. Do you take someone else's crappy document seriously? You are a fool."

"Go check it out. Lin Yingci is one of the five youngest shareholders of Hengyuan. What kind of sponsor does she need???"

......

After a day, he felt dizzy. Shang You, who was sitting opposite him, suddenly said:

"It seems like we are not arguing with normal people," Shang You put down his phone and said slowly, "Some are old ladies at the village entrance who like to watch the fun and make trouble, and the other part are professional blacks, who are not normal people at all."

The brother and sister looked at each other, feeling exhausted. Shang Heng suddenly thought of something and opened WeChat to send a message to Xiao Ci.

Lin Jingran just picked up Lin Yingci over there. She rolled down the window and said goodbye to Shang You: "Tell Auntie I'll come to see her next time."

"Come anytime you want. I think you two get along really well."

The two girls said goodbye with a smile, and the car started to move slowly. As soon as the window was closed, Lin Jingran quickly took her hand and said, "I'll take you to eat something delicious tonight."

Lin Yingci nodded, and suddenly remembered something. She turned around and looked at Lin Jingran: "I guess who cooked the food I had for lunch," she said with high spirits.

"Is it Shushu's mother?" Lin Jingran felt that this question was not difficult at all.

She shook her head: "No," Lin Yingci said proudly, "It's Shushu. Shushu's cooking is delicious, especially her pickled mustard greens and yellow croaker, which is so fresh. I didn't expect Shushu to be so good."

"Shushushushu," Lin Jingran pretended to be angry, "Your mind is full of Shushu now?"

Lin Yingci glanced at him and began to mutter again: "Shushu's mother is in poor health, with a disease similar to rheumatism. She has improved a lot in the past few years. It was more serious before, to the extent that she couldn't get out of bed." She spoke slowly, and Lin Jingran listened quietly.

"Before Shushu's father cooked, he would make a separate portion and bring it to Shushu's mother's room. He is very caring. Before he opened the noodle shop, he had always taken care of Shushu's mother in this way."

Lin Jingran nodded as he listened: "Very good, he is a good husband."

"I think this is the meaning of companionship," Lin Yingci unconsciously tightened her grip on his hand. "If one person walks this road alone, he or she will feel lonely and fall. But if two people walk together, when one person falls, the other person can help her up and walk with her."

"Well, Xiaoci," Lin Jingran glanced at her and said seriously, "We will be like this too."

Lin Yingci nodded heavily and said, "Shushu's mother is very kind. I like her very much."

"Very good," Lin Jingran turned his head to look at her. She was thinking about something, with a slight smile on her lips.

"They are a very nice family,"

As she spoke, she suddenly took out her cell phone and muttered, "My phone is so quiet today—"

"Xiaoci, Xiaoci," Lin Jingran called her anxiously.

Lin Yingci looked at him and said, "With so many WeChat messages, why are there no notification sounds?"

——Lin Jingran turned off everything last night while she was sleeping, including the push notifications from various social software.

"Stop looking at your phone and chat for a while." Lin Jingran was inexplicably nervous.

"There's something wrong with you," Lin Yingci just felt strange, so she ignored him and looked at her phone;

...Lin Jingran had no choice. He knew he couldn't hide it, so he could only watch as the smile on Lin Yingci's face gradually faded:

The first thing she saw was Yu Xiu's missed call. She didn't reply, but chose to read the unread messages first, and then Shang Heng's:

Xiaoci, ignore those stupid comments on the Internet, sue them and take legal action!

Lin Yingci quickly opened Sina and searched for her name. She was dumbfounded when she saw those comments and documents. How could someone make up these? What would happen if Lin Yehao knew about it? And Yu Xiu also called her. Did she know about it too?

In order not to make Yu Xiu worry, she quickly called back.

"Aunt,"

"Xiaoci, are you okay?" Yu Xiu's voice sounded anxious.

"I'm fine. How about you? Are you okay? Is grandma okay?"

"I'm fine. My grandma probably doesn't know yet. Aunt Wang next door told me that her daughter saw it online."

Yu Xiu's voice suddenly became tearful: "Xiaoci, can I come and see you? I'm worried about you——"

"Aunt, listen to me," Lin Yingci seemed very calm, "You don't have to worry about me, just take care of grandma. Fake things won't become real. Our company has a legal department. I will protect myself. I have ways, but grandma is so old, what will happen if she sees these? I have no way at all."

Yu Xiu nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."

Yu Xiu nodded repeatedly, and felt that Xiaoci had the demeanor of her mother back then.

"I'm going to your grandmother's house now. There are only elderly people in the countryside, so the news won't spread so quickly."

"Okay, go ahead and tell me if anything happens."

After hanging up the phone, she looked at Lin Jingran, who also looked at her and subconsciously tightened her hand: "I have already filed a lawsuit, but at present I can only sue those marketing accounts with a large number of reposts. The mastermind behind the scenes has not been found yet."

"Who has such a deep hatred for me?" Lin Yingci was puzzled, and suddenly thought of something, "Where is Dad? Does he know?"

"Probably not yet, but we'll know sooner or later," Lin Jingran sighed, "Not only with you, but probably also with Hengyuan."

Lin Jingran looked forward: "I think it might be business competition."

Lin Yingci shook her head: "It should be a matter of personal love, hate and vengeance."
