However, Xu Wen Jing soon spoke calmly, “Ah Chen, there really is nothing between me and Dr. Li Chao. He’s just an ordinary plastic surgeon. What comparison can you draw between him and you? I must be insane to have any connection with him! It’s all someone’s deliberate attempt to smear and defame me. You must believe me!”
“But the PR department’s investigation identified you as the person in those bed photos with the black man. Who should I believe?” Lin Yi Chen sounded conflicted.
Xu Wen Jing’s mind went blank for a moment, then she immediately raised her voice, “Of course, it should be me! Ah Chen, we’ve been together for four years. Isn’t that enough time for you to understand my heart?”
Lin Yi Chen chuckled.
I’ve seen through your heart a long time ago!
In the next moment, his tone softened unexpectedly, “Of course, I believe you truly love me!”
Love my money and the Lin family’s influence.
But what if I have nothing left again!
Lin Yi Chen’s gaze turned peculiar.
Hearing his words, Xu Wen Jing’s tension eased, and she said in an incredibly gentle tone, “Ah Chen, thank you for trusting me! After meeting you, how could any other man possibly catch my eye? My heart belongs to you alone!”
As for other men, they are just tools for me to vent.
How can they compare to you?
“Alright, I’ve already handled the online news. During this time, stay at home and avoid going out to prevent any confrontations,” Lin Yi Chen advised.
“I will,” Xu Wen Jing replied sweetly.
“By the way, there’s one more thing I want to discuss with you,” Lin Yi Chen suddenly said.
“What is it?” Xu Wen Jing’s heart tightened.
Then, in the next moment, her eyes lit up with excitement.
Listening to Lin Yi Chen’s words, she said, “You’re right, as long as we get married, those rumors will naturally fade away!”
“Yes, so you can discuss the wedding date with your uncle and aunt first. Let’s prepare as soon as possible,” Lin Yi Chen said softly.
Xu Wen Jing nodded vigorously, even though Lin Yi Chen was no longer in front of her.
“I will! Wait for my good news!” Xu Wen Jing immediately exclaimed.
“Alright, I’ll hang up now. Rest well,” said Lin Yi Chen before ending the call.
Meanwhile, Xu Wen Jing held her phone tightly, looking excitedly at her father and mother. “Mom, Dad! Ah Chen wants to marry me!”
When she said this, both Xu Shi Chang and Lin Cui wore expressions of pleasant surprise. “Really?”
“Yes, he asked me to discuss the wedding date with you!” Xu Wen Jing was overjoyed.
Four years!
She was finally going to become Mrs. Lin!
When that happens, let’s see how wicked woman Jiang Wan Yu mocks her for not being able to enter the Lin family!
Xu Shi Chang immediately checked the almanac and said, “There’s a good day next month!”
Upon hearing this, Xu Wen Jing calmly said, “No, it’s too rushed, Dad! There’s simply not enough time to order a custom wedding dress!”
She was determined to be the most beautiful bride in the world, and a wedding dress had to be custom-made.
Usually, it takes about half a year to order one.
A better one might take more than a year.
Xu Shi Chang glared at her and said, “Aren’t you afraid that Lin Yi Chen will change his mind?”
Xu Wen Jing replied, “It’s okay. At that time, I’ll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau with Ah Chen to register first and then have the wedding. That way, we won’t have to worry about him changing his mind!”
Xu Shi Chang’s eyebrows immediately relaxed. “You’re right. Once we have the marriage certificate, you’ll be Mrs. Lin!”
As for the wedding, they could take as long as they needed.
Lin Cui also happily said, “That makes sense! Let’s check the almanac for a suitable date!”
Then, the three of them crowded around the almanac to plan.
Meanwhile, Lin Yi Chen called Lin Haowei and expressed his intention to marry Xu Wen Jing.
“Dad, now that people outside are suspecting Wen Jing’s character if we get married at this time, those doubts should naturally dissipate. I think it’s better for her this way,” Lin Yi Chen said.
Lin Haowei was somewhat surprised.
Lin Yi Chen had always been reluctant to get married before, and now he suddenly wanted to?
But that was fine; after all, the Xu family had been pressing for it for a long time.
So, Lin Haowei quickly agreed, “I understand. I’ll have someone find an auspicious day!”
“Thanks, Dad!” Lin Yi Chen seemed genuinely pleased.
Lin Haowei listened and couldn’t help but smirk.
Hmph.
Marrying a loose woman, and he’s happy about it?
Tsk!
But he wouldn’t tell Lin Yi Chen the truth about Xu Wen Jing.
Meanwhile, after discussions between the Xu and Lin families, the wedding was finally scheduled for six months later.
Once the date was set, Xu Wen Jing was overjoyed. She immediately took her mother to a bridal shop to order a custom wedding dress.
At the same time, her agent released the news that she would soon be marrying Lin Yi Chen.
Soon, the news spread online.
When people heard that the two of them were getting married, many were astonished.
“Wow, does Lin Yi Chen really enjoy being a cuckold? Even after all this, he’s still marrying Xu Wen Jing?”
“Is this true love? Xu Wen Jing’s reputation is in shambles, but Lin Yi Chen is not giving up on her?”
“Hahaha, you guys are so naive! Lin Yi Chen is not blind. If Xu Wen Jing really did those disgraceful things, would he marry her? No man would take back a woman who did such things! ”
“Believe in Wen Jing! Do you think the wealthy don’t protect their interests? Isn’t it all about benefits in wealthy families? Tsk, I feel sorry for Lin Yi Chen!”
However, no matter how netizens speculated, photos of Xu Wen Jing happily trying on wedding dresses at the bridal shop suddenly “accidentally” leaked online.
Seeing her beautiful appearance in a wedding dress combined with the Xu family’s manipulation, public opinion began to shift.
It seemed like Xu Wen Jing was quickly regaining her innocence.
Seeing many people online envy and admire her, Xu Wen Jing felt extremely proud.
But at this moment, one Weibo post went viral.
“Enough with the rumors that Xu Wen Jing and Lin Yi Chen are in a commercial alliance for the sake of benefits. At least, Xu Wen Jing definitely loves Lin Yi Chen. Don’t forget, although Lin Yi Chen is now the de facto head of the Lin Group, he actually has no shares at all. All the shares of the Lin Group are in the hands of his father. In other words, he’s just like us, a regular employee! If Xu Wen Jing didn’t truly love Lin Yi Chen, why would she marry him without getting anything? Lin Yi Chen has no premarital property!”
This Weibo post surprised many people.
But someone quickly commented, “So what? Lin Yi Chen will inherit the entire Lin Group sooner or later. All of Lin Yi Chen’s assets will belong to him then.”
“Exactly, Lin Yi Chen may seem like a regular employee now, but in the future, he will inherit the Lin Group and become its leader. It’s just a matter of time!”
“Did you guys not understand the original poster’s point? Even if Lin Yi Chen will inherit the Lin Group in the future, it has nothing to do with Xu Wen Jing!”
“Hehe, which wealthy person doesn’t do prenuptial property agreements? Originally, the entire Lin Group had nothing to do with Xu Wen Jing, but if they get married, can Lin Yi Chen avoid helping out his in-laws? The intangible benefits are much more significant than prenuptial property!”
“But that also benefits the Xu family. What does it have to do with Xu Wen Jing? Tsk, wealthy people have so many ways to protect their own interests! Isn’t this just guarding against their daughter-in-law getting a share of the family’s assets?”
“Suddenly, I feel sorry for Xu Wen Jing!”
