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

"Miss Su, you are really a forgetful person," the voice on the other end of the phone became sweeter and sweeter, but it also had a chilling chill. "Your love story with Jin Yan is a hot topic in our circle."

Su Li's heart was shocked, and countless thoughts flashed through her mind, finally settling on a name that she had deliberately forgotten - Lin Wan, Gu Jinyan's ex-girlfriend and her former college classmate.

Before Su Li could speak, the other party hung up the phone. Uneasy emotions entangled Su Li like vines, and she had a premonition that a storm was about to come.

Almost at the same time, an entry about "Gu Group President's wife Su Li suspected of interfering in other people's relationships" appeared on Weibo's hot search list and quickly climbed to the top of the list. Under the entry, several intimate photos of Su Li and Gu Jinyan were maliciously interpreted, and even worse, some people fabricated a "black history" that Su Li interfered in Lin Wan's relationship during college.

The wave of public opinion instantly engulfed Su Li, and all kinds of abuse, doubts, and ridicules flooded in. The public relations department of Gu Group also took emergency action, contacting the platform to delete the false information and issuing a clarification statement, but with little effect.

"Boss Gu, the current situation is not favorable to us," the PR manager reported to Gu Jinyan with sweat on his forehead, "The negative public opinion on the Internet is still fermenting, and it has already affected the company's stock price and reputation."

Gu Jinyan's face was gloomy, and there was a hint of coldness in his deep eyes. "Investigate! I want to know who is behind this!"

At the same time, in a hidden cafe, Lin Wan sat opposite a fashionably dressed woman.

"How is it? My plan is not bad, right?" The woman picked up the coffee, took a sip elegantly, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. "I told you a long time ago that to deal with a woman like this, you have to ruin her reputation!"

Lin Wan looked at the negative news about Su Li on her phone, with a ferocious smile on her face, "Next, there will be something even more exciting waiting for her..."

Su Li held the phone tightly, her knuckles turning white. Lin Wan's appearance was not unexpected, but this unfamiliar number made her feel uncomfortable. Her intuition told her that this call and the revelations on Weibo were not accidental, and there was a bigger conspiracy behind it.

"What's wrong?" Gu Jinyan noticed Su Li's strangeness, frowned slightly, and put a document on the table, "I will handle the online matter, don't worry."

"I'm not worried about that." Su Li took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. "Do you still remember Lin Wan's best friend? I always feel that this matter has something to do with her."

Gu Jinyan hesitated for a moment, and a vague figure emerged in his mind, "Are you talking about... Zhao Siqi?"

"Yes, it's her!" Su Li confirmed her guess. "When we were in college, she always disliked me and targeted me everywhere. Later, when Lin Wan broke up with you, she also said bad things about me behind my back."

"You mean, Zhao Siqi and Lin Wan have joined forces?" Gu Jinyan's eyes darkened, and a chill spread from the bottom of his eyes.

"I'm just guessing, but there's no smoke without fire. We may be able to find a breakthrough from her." Su Li said in a firm tone, with a wise light in his eyes.

Gu Jinyan nodded and immediately arranged for someone to investigate Zhao Siqi's recent situation. As expected, Zhao Siqi had been very close to Lin Wan recently, and the two often went to high-end restaurants and private clubs, behaving intimately.

"It seems that our guess is correct." Gu Jinyan handed the results of the investigation to Su Li, "Next, it depends on how they want to act."

Within a few days, a carefully planned "chance encounter" took place in a high-end shopping mall. Zhao Siqi deliberately bumped into Su Li, and the coffee in her hand spilled on Su Li's skirt, instantly staining it.

"What's wrong with you?" Zhao Siqi's sharp voice attracted many people to watch. She pointed at Su Li with an arrogant and unreasonable look on her face, "Don't you have eyes when you walk?"

Su Li was prepared. She took a step back calmly, avoiding Zhao Siqi's touch. Her eyes were calm and indifferent. "You were the one who bumped into me. Why are you the one who complained first?"

"You were the one who bumped into me, and now you're trying to turn the tables on me!" Zhao Siqi raised her voice, acting like a victim, tears streaming down her face. "I know you're Mrs. Gu, rich and powerful, but I'm not afraid of you! You must give me an explanation for what happened today!"

The discussion around them became louder and louder. Many people recognized Su Li's identity and took out their mobile phones to take photos and videos. Zhao Siqi raised the corners of her mouth proudly, as if she had foreseen the scene of Su Li's imminent downfall.

However, Su Li's reaction was beyond everyone's expectations. She did not panic as Zhao Siqi expected, but calmly took out a handkerchief from her bag, slowly wiped the stain on her skirt, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Explanation? What do you want me to explain to you?" Su Li slowly raised his head and looked directly at Zhao Siqi. His tone was calm but sharp. "In other words, what do you want from me?"

As soon as Su Li finished speaking, the discussion around her became louder. People were whispering and looking at Zhao Siqi with suspicion.

"I don't want anything, I just want you to apologize to me!" Zhao Siqi felt a little guilty when she saw Su Li's eyes, but she still said it with a stiff upper lip.

"Apologize?" Su Li chuckled. "Why should I apologize? It was you who bumped into me on purpose and spilled coffee all over me, why do you want me to apologize?"

"You..." Zhao Siqi was so angry that she pointed at Su Li with trembling fingers. "Don't think I don't know that you did it on purpose! You want to destroy me!"

"Destroy you?" Su Li seemed to have heard a funny joke, and the smile in her eyes became even stronger. "Why should I destroy you? You are just an insignificant person to me."

"You..." Zhao Siqi was choked by Su Li's words and was speechless. Her face turned pale and blue.

Su Li ignored her and turned to look at the crowd around her. She said in a calm and clear tone: "Everyone, I think you should all know me. I am Su Li, Gu Jinyan's wife. I think everyone should have seen what happened today. It was this lady who deliberately bumped into me and splashed coffee on me. Now she bites back and says that I want to destroy her. Excuse me, why did I do this?"

Su Li's words resonated with the people around her, and many people began to point fingers at Zhao Siqi and talk about her.

"Yeah, this lady doesn't look like the type to pick a fight for no reason."

"That's right. I think this incident is all Miss Zhao's fault. Now she's trying to turn the tables on me. How shameless!"

"That's right. I think she just wants to take advantage of the opportunity to hype it up and gain sympathy!"

Listening to the discussions around her, Zhao Siqi's face became more and more ugly. She didn't expect Su Li to fight back like this, and she didn't expect that people around her would believe her.

"You...you guys..." Zhao Siqi pointed at Su Li and the people around her, shaking with anger but unable to utter a word.

Su Li ignored her and turned to leave the mall.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhao Siqi left in shame.

Su Li returned to the car, and Gu Jinyan immediately came up to her and asked with concern: "How is it? Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Su Li shook her head. "I've asked someone to check on her. She owes a large sum of debt recently. I think she wants to take this opportunity to blackmail me."

A cold light flashed in Gu Jinyan's eyes, and he said coldly: "I will take care of this matter."

"Yeah." Su Li nodded, but she felt a little uneasy in her heart, always feeling that this matter was not that simple.

A few days later, Su Li and Gu Jinyan received an anonymous letter which read: "Do you want to know Lin Wan's whereabouts? Do you want to know our next plan? If you want to save her, come alone..." In the envelope, a familiar pearl earring lay quietly.

After Su Li returned home, she kept thinking about Zhao Siqi's abnormal behavior. Gu Jinyan comforted her and told her that he would take care of everything and told her not to worry. But there was always a lingering haze in Su Li's heart, like the calm before the storm.

A few days later, Su Li and Gu Jinyan received an unsigned letter. There was no mark on the envelope, only "Mrs. Gu's Personal Letter". Su Li's heart tightened, and an ominous premonition came to her mind.

Opening the envelope, a printed letter and a pearl earring lay quietly inside. Su Li was very familiar with the earrings, which were Lin Wan's favorite pair. One of them fell off during the argument in the cafe last time. Could it be...

Gu Jinyan also saw the earring, and his face suddenly turned pale. He took the letter and quickly glanced through it. The content of the letter made his brows furrowed more and more.

The letter read: "Mr. Gu, how are you? I haven't seen you for a long time. You and Miss Su seem to be in love. However, your gentle and kind ex-girlfriend is not living a happy life now. We know that you miss the old times, so I prepared a small gift for you, I hope you like it. Do you want to know the whereabouts of Lin Wan? Do you want to know our next plan? If you want to save her, come alone..."

There was no signature at the end of the letter, only an address. Gu Jinyan held the letter tightly in his hand, his knuckles turning white from the force, and a dangerous light flashed in his eyes.

Su Li's heart was beating fast, and she reached out to hold Gu Jinyan's hand, trying to give him some strength. She could feel his anger and worry at the moment, and she could also feel the powerlessness of being threatened.

"Jin Yan, we..." Su Li was about to speak, but was stopped by Gu Jinyan's firm look.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it." Gu Jinyan put away the letter and earrings, and said in a cold tone, "You take a rest first, I'll go out for a while."

After saying that, Gu Jinyan picked up his coat and strode out of the room, leaving Su Li alone waiting anxiously. Outside the window, the night was getting darker and darker, as if foreshadowing a bigger storm was coming. Su Li walked to the window and looked in the direction where Gu Jinyan left. Her heart was in turmoil, as if she was being tightly grasped by an invisible big hand, making it impossible for her to breathe...
