After the substitution marriage, I became the CEO's white moonlight

After Gu Jinyan left in a hurry, Su Li suppressed her inner uneasiness, still maintained a decent smile, and continued to entertain the guests who came to congratulate her. She moved gracefully among the crowd, chatting and laughing, as if nothing had happened. However, only she knew that her heart had already flown to Gu Jinyan's side.

Time passed by, but Gu Jinyan still didn't come back. Su Li's heart gradually sank, and an ominous premonition came to her mind. She found an excuse, hurriedly left the banquet hall, and asked the housekeeper about Gu Jinyan's whereabouts.

"Butler, do you know where Gu Jinyan went?" Su Li asked anxiously.

"Young Madam, don't worry, the young master..." The butler hesitated to speak, as if he had something to hide.

"Butler, please tell me quickly, what happened?" Su Li's voice rose a few degrees, with a hint of trembling in her tone.

"Madam, you'd better go to the stock exchange. The master is waiting for you there." The butler finally told the truth.

Su Li heard this and immediately understood that Gu Jinyan must have gone to make final preparations for the company's listing. She did not ask any more questions, but immediately drove to the stock exchange.

When Su Li arrived at the stock exchange, the listing ceremony was ready. She saw Gu Jinyan standing in the crowd at a glance. He was wearing a neat suit, looking serious and focused, as if everything was under his control.

Seeing Su Li coming, Gu Jinyan showed a warm smile on his face. He walked quickly to Su Li, took her hand, and said softly, "You are here."

Su Li held Gu Jinyan's hand, feeling the warmth of his palm, and her heart finally settled down. She nodded gently, without saying anything, but her eyes were full of trust and dependence.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Su Li and Gu Jinyan walked onto the podium side by side. Under the guidance of the host, they rang the opening bell together.

"clang--"

The crisp bell sounded in the trading hall, marking the official listing of Gujia Company on the stock exchange. On the electronic screen, Gujia Company's stock code shone with golden light, and the opening price soared all the way, showing investors' strong confidence in the company's future.

The audience applauded, cheered and congratulated one after another. Su Li and Gu Jinyan smiled at each other, their eyes full of joy and pride.

However, at this moment, an old man slowly walked onto the stage, his kind eyes swept across the crowd, and finally fell on Su Li and Gu Jinyan...

The old lady was wearing a simple and elegant cheongsam, with her gray hair combed meticulously. Time had left traces on her face, but it could not cover up the majesty and kindness between her brows. She was Gu Jinyan's grandmother, the pillar of the Gu family, and the person Gu Jinyan respected the most.

Gu's grandmother slowly walked to the microphone, and the whole audience suddenly fell silent, with everyone's eyes focused on this kind old lady.

"Today, I am very happy to witness this historic moment when Gu's company was successfully listed." Although the grandmother's voice was not loud, it was clearly heard throughout the hall. "I want to thank all the employees who have worked hard for the development of the company. It is your hard work that has made the company what it is today."

There was warm applause from the audience, and employee representatives stood up to pay tribute to the grandmother of the Gu family.

"I would also like to especially thank my granddaughter-in-law, Su Li." The grandmother of the Gu family turned her gaze to Su Li, her eyes full of love and approval. "Since she married into the Gu family, she has been silently supporting Jin Yan's work and has contributed a lot to this family. She is not only a virtuous wife, but also a woman worthy of respect from all of us."

Su Li's eyes were slightly red. She didn't expect that Gu's grandmother would publicly express her affirmation of her in such an occasion. She stood up, bowed deeply to Gu's grandmother, and said softly, "Thank you, grandma."

Gu's grandmother patted Su Li's hand gently and continued, "I believe that with the joint efforts of Jin Yan and Su Li, Gu's company will definitely get better and better and create a more brilliant future!"

The words of the grandmother of the Gu family were full of power and also touched everyone present. The employee representatives excitedly expressed that they would continue to work hard and contribute their own strength to the development of the company.

A young employee representative walked up to the stage, took the microphone, and said excitedly: "Mr. Gu, Mr. Su, please rest assured, we will definitely..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a sudden commotion. Everyone turned their heads and looked at the entrance of the banquet hall, their eyes full of surprise and confusion...

The door of the banquet hall was pushed open, and a group of reporters swarmed in. Flashes of light flashed one after another, disrupting the originally joyous atmosphere. A reporter squeezed to the front, handed the microphone to Gu Jinyan, and asked in a hurried tone: "Mr. Gu, what do you think of the rumors online that you are still in contact with your rumored girlfriend and that the company's listing is paving the way for her?"

The sudden questioning made Gu Jinyan's face darken, and Su Li's heart suddenly tightened, and the originally happy smile froze on her face. Gu's grandmother's face was even more livid, and she angrily knocked the ground with her cane.

"My reporter, please be careful with your words!" Gu Jinyan's assistant immediately stepped forward to block the reporter's questioning. "Today is the grand day for the Gu family company to go public. Please don't spread false information!"

However, the reporters did not retreat. Instead, they asked more excitedly and handed the microphone to Su Li, "Mr. Su, what do you think about this matter? Do you believe Mr. Gu?"

Facing the aggressive reporters and the inquiring eyes of the crowd, Su Li felt that breathing became difficult. She clenched her fists tightly and tried to restrain the surging emotions in her heart. Although Gu Jinyan had proved his sincerity with his actions during this period of time, those photos and rumors were still like a thorn, deeply piercing her heart.

"I believe in my husband." Su Li raised her head and swept her eyes across everyone present with a firm gaze. "Please don't be misled by false information. The listing of Gu's company is the result of the joint efforts of all employees. We have a clear conscience!"

Although Su Li's voice was not loud, it was full of power. Her determination and confidence infected many people present, and their originally suspicious eyes were now filled with admiration. Gu Jinyan held Su Li's hand and gave her a reassuring look. He knew that Su Li had been under a lot of pressure during this period, but she still chose to believe in him and fight side by side.

The farce ended with the intervention of the Gu family's security personnel. Although the reporter's questions were stopped, the incident caused an uproar on the Internet. For a time, rumors about Gu Jinyan and his rumored girlfriend were rampant, and the joy of the Gu family's company going public was diluted a lot.

After the banquet, Su Li returned to her room and sat on the sofa exhaustedly. She took out her mobile phone and looked at the overwhelming negative news on the Internet, feeling as heavy as a huge rock pressing down on her heart.

At this moment, the phone vibrated and a text message from an unfamiliar number came into view: "Do you want to know the truth? Come see me." Below the text message was an address.

Su Li held the phone in her hand, her eyes flickering. After hesitating for a moment, she finally decided to keep the appointment.

The next day, Su Li went to a cafe according to the address in the text message. She walked into the cafe and looked around. A woman wearing sunglasses waved at her.

"Who are you...?" Su Li asked tentatively.

The woman took off her sunglasses, revealing a familiar face. It was the gossip heroine in the photo! Su Li looked at her in surprise, not understanding why she asked him to meet her.

"I know you have a lot of questions." The woman handed Su Li a file bag, "Here are the answers you want to know."

Su Li took the file bag and hesitantly opened it. A photo fell out of it. In the photo, the gossip heroine was in an intimate posture with a man, and that man turned out to be Gu Jinyan's rival!
