Chapter 408: Chapter 408: Don’t Want to Expose Her_1

Before the plane took off, Hai Xiaotang had already checked the news.

Currently, the situation for Dongfang was very bad, with the media widely reporting on Dongfang Yu’s incarceration.

The reputation and credibility of Dongfang are now seriously affected.

And it seems that it will only get worse…

However, Dongfang Yu still appeared nonchalant about it.

Seeing him like this, Hai Xiaotang felt frustrated and asked, “Aren’t you worried?”

Dongfang Yu pulled her close to his body, closed his eyes and said, “Worried about what? There’s nothing to worry about.”

“But the situation is very serious now…”

“Well, it’s not as if the sky’s going to fall.”

Hai Xiaotang was rendered speechless with anger, thinking, ‘Behold a eunuch even more anxious than the Emperor himself.’

Leaning against his chest, she expressed her concerns, “You’ve worked so hard to get to where you are today. It would be heartbreaking if everything came to nothing.”

Dongfang Yu held her tighter, with a satisfied look on his face.

“But I have Hai Xiaotang. With Hai Xiaotang by my side, so what if I lose Dongfang!”

Anyway, he already got what he wanted the most. That’s enough for him.

Hai Xiaotang was moved by his words, but she also felt upset.

She didn’t want him to lose Dongfang because it was not only his hard work but also his empire.

But she believed that he would find a way to overcome this difficult situation.

It was only because of Dongfang Yu’s optimism that Hai Xiaotang felt optimistic too.

But once they arrived in C City, she realised how serious the situation was!

As soon as they got off the plane, Dongfang Yu arranged people to escort her to leave through another exit, while he went alone to face the media!

Hai Xiaotang originally wanted to face it together with him, but he had refused.

He didn’t want to expose her, and didn’t want her to bear this with him.

Hai Xiaotang was sent back to the villa, only to find out later that the surroundings of the villa were heavily guarded, and the media could not get in at all.

All in all, the current situation was rather tense, akin to the calm before the storm.

Even Qiao Ning couldn’t help but call to enquire.

“Xiaotang, where have you been these past two days? I couldn’t get through to your phone. Are you okay?”

Hai Xiaotang replied with a smile, “I’m fine. My phone was lost and I’ve just found it.”

“So that’s it. I thought something had happened to you. Xiaotang, are the things reported in the newspapers true? Did Mr. Dongfang really orchestrate everything just to have you?” Qiao Ning was rather puzzled. After all, at that time, Hai Xiaotang was already with Dongfang Yu.

There was really no reason for him to devise such schemes.

Hai Xiaotang couldn’t explain it to her and just said, “Qiao Ning, the situation is too complicated for me to explain now. I’ll tell you all about it when I get the chance. Don’t worry about us. We’ll handle it.”

“Okay, no matter what, as long as you’re safe and sound! If you need any help, just let me know, although I fear that I may not be of much help…” Qiao Ning said awkwardly.

Even so, Hai Xiaotang was very grateful and gave her heartfelt thanks.

After a few more sentences, they hung up the phone.

Then, Hai Xiaotang got a call from Mother Zhang, and then Hai Lan, Hua Sheng, Hua Xuan…

They were all worried about the situation and offered to help.

Hai Xiaotang hadn’t expected so many people to offer their help. She was touched.

However, this issue might be too complicated for others to assist with. It was something they could only navigate through on their own.

So Hai Xiaotang stayed at home, trying to come up with a plan, while waiting for Dongfang Yu to return.

But as night fell, Dongfang Yu still hadn’t returned.
