You Make Money, I'll Spend It: Stepmother's Ultimate Pleasure in the Aristocratic Family

Chapter 86

Qi Group headquarters building.

Qi's assistant: "Chief Qi, do you need someone to delete the negative comments about your wife's company?"

The man sitting in the leather chair frowned with knitted brows, not responding to the assistant's words.

The phone on the desk suddenly lit up.

He was particularly concerned about the page, and a notice from the Yueji official blog popped up.

After reading it, the man's eyes darkened slightly as he walked to the floor-to-ceiling window.

The glass mirrored surface reflected his sharp and stern profile.

Suddenly, the thin lips curved up in an imperceptible arc.

It seemed to be a kind of tacit understanding, and also seemed to be a silent approval.

He read between the lines and understood her decision.

After a long time, Qi's low and calm voice was heard:

"Don't get involved in my wife's company affairs, go check out the people behind those news reports."

Qi's assistant: "Okay, Chief Qi."

Without any help from the Qi Group, Yueji managed to complete an extremely successful public relations crisis management in less than twenty-four hours entirely on its own.

In an instant, online public opinion was reversed, and the official website page views increased tenfold.

The number of customers subscribing to the "One Bouquet for Life" flower service afterwards gradually exceeded the number of people who cancelled orders after the incident.

Many netizens who were not very interested in the online incident also joined in the discussion.

-【This is how you make an effective clarification, face the problem directly, accept media interviews, and respect consumers' right to know.】

-【Finally it's not a lawyer's letter, I'm almost traumatized by lawyer's letters.】

-【I didn't have much impression about this brand before, but I have quite a good impression after this incident, at least it's a company that does not evade problems.】

-【So the question is, if Yueji did not deceive consumers or use inferior products to substitute fine ones, how did those initial reports come out in the first place?】

Even netizens noticed this point, and Sheng Mumu certainly would not miss it.

But having just dealt with a public relations crisis and orders for flowers surging, there was no time to look into this matter.

She had to postpone it for a few days before investigating in detail.

Feng Yaoqin was completely unaware of the sensational incident on the Internet.

She had always advocated staying away from the Internet and experiencing life, which was why she was so enthusiastic about traveling around the world.

Having just returned to the capital for not long, she was restless again.

The day after the Yueji public relations incident, she wandered to her daughter-in-law's house.

But the butler Zhang told her: "Madam, the master and madam are not at home, they went to work."

Feng Yaoqin left dejectedly.

How strange, going to the company on a weekend.

She knew her son Qi Mo was a workaholic.

She didn't expect the daughter-in-law he married to be a workaholic too.

Feng Yaoqin estimated the time, and called Sheng Mumu in the early evening, asking Sheng Mumu to come home earlier and take a walk with her in the garden before dinner.

Sheng Mumu's hand holding the phone stiffened, and she secretly took a deep breath.

She knew the "walk" mentioned by her mother-in-law would take at least half an hour.

Although extremely reluctant internally, she sweetly agreed:

"Okay, Mom, I'll be home right away and come over to pick you up directly."

Ah, what else could she do.

The hard-earned good wife and daughter-in-law image certainly could not be abandoned halfway.

Feng Yaoqin was still quite satisfied with her reply.

She grunted in a tone.

In the evening.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law with things on their minds walked side by side on the lakeside trail in the neighborhood.

Birds with white wings and green tails fluttered past in front of them.

The air was filled with the rich fragrance of grass and trees.

Sheng Mumu took a deep breath, suddenly feeling relaxed in body and mind.

The busy days and fatigue of the past few days were healed by the greenery before her eyes.

The evening wind at the end of summer was no longer sultry.

There was no one else around except them.

Feng Yaoqin put on the mother-in-law manner, walking while sharing with Sheng Mumu how she had organized her husband's life in an orderly manner when he was alive.

Sheng Mumu responded with "uh-huh", half-heartedly perfunctory. Her mind was on the company affairs.

Suddenly, Feng Yaoqin stopped, grabbed her arm, and asked in a slightly accusing tone:

"When are you planning to have a baby? You've been married into the family for so long, yet there's not the slightest sign in your belly, what on earth is going on?"

Sheng Mumu's thoughts were abruptly pulled back to the present, and her breath hitched.

She blinked blankly at Feng Yaoqin, at a loss for how to respond to this question for a moment.

"Uh..."

Let her think about how to make up a reasonable story...

Seeing Sheng Mumu's hesitant look, Feng Yaoqin's face sank.

She tightened her grip on Sheng Mumu's arm, and said gravely:

"You don't have any health issues, do you? If there are any problems you need to see a doctor promptly."

Sheng Mumu's neck jerked back instinctively, and blurted out:

"What health issues could I have!"

As soon as the words came out, Sheng Mumu regretted it.

She saw Feng Yaoqin's expression becoming more and more complicated, her lowered eyes rolling in puzzlement.

"Could it be... Qi Mo's problem?"

Sheng Mumu: "............"

Done for.

It seemed the more she talked, the more dubious it sounded.

There was no way to prevent her mother-in-law from imagining weird things.

Her mind raced to come up with a reasonable response, when her arm was suddenly jerked hard.

"Ah--" Feng Yaoqin's body shuddered, looking terrified as she pointed ahead.

"Did you see that, just now...just now a woman ran past, dressed all in black with long hair, carrying a bag in her hand."

Looking in the direction Feng Yaoqin was pointing,

it was empty with no one there at all.

Sheng Mumu seemed to suddenly think of something, and her brows furrowed sharply.

Her mother-in-law's description was exactly the same as the strange person who had suddenly rushed out when she was driving last time.

Could it be that the person her mother-in-law saw was that weirdo?

The evening sun completely sank below the horizon.

The deserted lakeside colonnade inexplicably took on an eerie color.

Feng Yaoqin lost her mood for walking. "It's getting late, let's go back."

Just then, a scream came from not far away.
