Ji Wei felt a bit strange.
She pushed open the door to the CEO’s office, and Chen Ke, who had been pacing anxiously, imdiately approached her. "Madam, did you see today’s online news?"
Since becoming pregnant, Ji Wei rarely looked at her phone. This morning, she only replied to an email from Ji Yunli and put her phone aside.
She shook her head, confused. "What happened?"
Chen Ke handed her his phone. "You’ll understand once you see this."
Ji Wei lowered her head and tapped into the webpage.
The livestream video from yesterday’s eting had been uploaded online, and the comnts section underneath the video had already exploded.
So admired Ji Wei’s intelligence and decisiveness, claiming she was the most deserving candidate to beco the acting CEO. Others disparaged her, accusing her of securing the position through family connections and pretending that a bit of cleverness could control the overall situation of the company when her personal abilities were clearly lacking.
Scrolling further down, there was another bombshell piece of news. It was revealed that Ji Wei was already pregnant and that she had been hospitalized for a threatened miscarriage just a week ago. Her health was allegedly too poor to lead the Ji Group.
Not only that, but the news even questioned Ji Wei’s lineage, pointing out several suspicious details. It claid that she was not Ji Yunli’s biological daughter and even posted a blood type comparison report. The report clearly stated that Ji Wei was blood type B, while Ji Yunli was blood type O.
This sent the gossip-hungry crowd into a frenzy.
The idea that the Ji Family’s esteed daughter was an impostor was undoubtedly the most scandalous story in Rongcheng’s elite circles!
Ji Wei felt her temples throb violently as she read.
Who could have leaked this?
Suddenly, a scene from last night flashed through her mind—Tang Yi’s hysterical outburst after being apprehended. Could this be what that crazy woman ant by making her pay the price?
Before she could co to a conclusion, loud commotion erupted outside the CEO’s office.
"I’ll go out and take a look."
Chen Ke’s expression darkened as he strode quickly toward the door.
No sooner did the office door open than a swarm of reporters carrying caras rushed forward. Mary was struggling to maintain order.
The mont they saw Chen Ke, everyone froze for a second.
"Aren’t you Mr. Gu’s assistant? Why are you here? Could this an the rumors are true—that the Gu Family is planning to intervene and acquire the Ji Group as a subsidiary?"
Click, click—
Countless cara shutters began flashing toward Chen Ke.
Chen Ke’s face turned grim as he coldly snapped, "This is Ji Group. Who let you in here?"
At the edge of the crowd, a female employee backed away quietly and slipped away quickly.
She was the one who had secretly brought the reporters in. There was no way that impostor could escape unscathed this ti!
"Call the building’s security right now and get all of these people out of here!" Chen Ke said sternly to Mary.
Mary imdiately pulled out her phone to contact security.
The reporters, however, were relentless, thrusting their microphones at Chen Ke one after another:
"Where is Miss Ji? Why isn’t she coming out? Does this an all the online accusations are true and she’s too afraid to face the dia?"
"Let Miss Ji co out and address the matter directly—give everyone an explanation!"
"If she doesn’t show up, then it confirms the rumors online! If she’s not Ji’s biological daughter, how can she have the nerve to cling to the role of acting CEO? Isn’t this the definition of usurpation?"
"Does Mr. Ji’s disappearance have anything to do with Miss Ji? Is she trying to strike first because she’s afraid her true identity will be exposed?"
These reporters had clearly been bribed and were throwing out more provocative questions with every passing mont.
To make matters worse, soone on-site was secretly livestreaming the entire scene. The video showing Ji Wei refusing to co out and Chen Ke scolding the reporters was being broadcast online in real ti.
