Xu Tingyu had been browsing the comment section. When she saw this revelation, she was momentarily stunned.
In the photo, Qi Shifeng showed only a side profile.
But she recognized the clothes he was wearing. It was indeed what he had worn when he met her not long ago.
This meant that not long after she returned, he had also come back. And he had gone to Du Jiran's room with a bouquet of flowers.
"Wow, does the Qi family only produce lovesick souls? Doesn't anyone think this new girlfriend bears a resemblance to the late Xie Yu?"
"Hey, it's not appropriate to say that, is it? It sounds like Mr. Qi is looking for a substitute. Every girl is unique."
"But, don't you guys remember how good Mr. Qi was to Xie Yu? How could he get over his heartbreak so quickly? I'm inclined to think she's a substitute."
"Ah, we don't understand the world of the rich. But his gesture of coming out at night and bringing flowers for his girlfriend is quite romantic."
"I think so too. Anyway, he's single now, and he's not two - timing anyone. There's no need for us to be so harsh."
"Actually, I don't think there's such a thing as a substitute. Even if they look a bit alike, it's understandable. It just means he likes this type."
...
Xu Tingyu stared at these comments, looking a bit dazed.
Xie Yu?
Qi Shifeng's true love?
Suddenly, she felt a splitting headache.
Why did she lose her memory? Why did she have so much of a past?
And why did Qi Ye keep so many things from her?
The others didn't notice her distraction. They were only discussing the trend in the comment section.
Qi Ye instructed Zhang Wan, "Keep an eye on the public opinion at all times. There must be no trend of attacking Tingyu. Once there is, take legal action immediately."
"Also, don't let the person who made this revelation go. I don't think it was an accidental shot. It was clearly pre - meditated."
Qi Ye didn't believe that there was no mastermind behind it. There were so many photos in a short period, and there were even many eyewitnesses.
He had initially suspected Qi Shifeng.
After all, it was too much of a coincidence that he was also on vacation here.
But then the photos of him entering Du Jiran's room with flowers were exposed, and he dismissed his suspicion.
If Qi Shifeng was the mastermind, he would definitely hide perfectly. How could he involve himself?
Being photographed with his new girlfriend wasn't a good thing either.
At least, it wasn't beneficial for winning back Xu Tingyu.
"I also think it was pre - meditated. Otherwise, it's too much of a coincidence. Even the information about whose card was swiped was revealed."
"Normally, who would pay attention to that?"
Chen Chunyao wiped away her tears and chimed in.
She now suspected that Qi Shifeng was behind this.
Because she had seen Qi Shifeng talking to Xu Tingyu alone.
Their state didn't seem like they were complete strangers.
She hadn't told Qi Ye about this because she was afraid of getting into trouble.
But if Qi Shifeng wasn't behind it, how could it be so coincidental? How did they even know whose card was swiped?
Zhang Wan thought for a moment and said, "Could it be Miss Du?"
Everyone was taken aback.
Xu Tingyu's first reaction was that it was impossible. "Miss Du has no reason to do this. She has no motive."
Du Jiran had no feud with Chen Chunyao, so there was no need for her to cause trouble for her.
Chen Chunyao suddenly had an epiphany. "I also think it's not Miss Du, but it's very likely to be Ma Yiyi."
This explanation made much more sense.
Ma Yiyi had never had an easy time with Chen Chunyao, and she had also fallen out with Du Jiran. She must be very angry.
It was reasonable for her to want to cause trouble for Chen Chunyao now.
Now that they had a lead, they left the investigation to Zhang Wan.
"I'm going back. Yaoyao, don't be too sad. It's all cleared up. You don't need to pay attention to those negative comments."
Xu Tingyu felt an indescribable weariness. After saying this, she got up to go back.
Qi Ye and Zhang Wan still had to meet with the client at night, so they didn't have time to comfort Chen Chunyao.
So Chen Chunyao and Xu Tingyu walked out together and were about to go back to their rooms.
Just as Xu Tingyu was about to enter her room, Chen Chunyao suddenly lowered her voice and asked, "Tingyu, what do you think when you see the news about Qi Shifeng and Du Jiran?"
This question seemed rather odd.
Xu Tingyu frowned slightly and retorted, "What should I think?"
This made Chen Chunyao a bit flustered. Her slightly swollen eyes shifted away. It took her a while to explain.
"I, I didn't mean anything. I'm just afraid you'll think too much."
Her eyes were evasive, and her explanation was weak.
But Xu Tingyu didn't want to dig deeper because she knew she wouldn't get the truth from her.
She had realized that since she couldn't remember, anyone could lie to her.
So she wouldn't completely trust anyone.
However, she didn't say much to Chen Chunyao. She just nodded.
"I won't think too much. I know you're tired now, so go back and rest early. We can talk about anything tomorrow."
After saying that, without giving Chen Chunyao a chance to say anything else, she opened the door and walked in.
Chen Chunyao watched her figure disappear behind the door. A playful smile suddenly appeared on her lips.
After meeting Qi Shifeng, Xu Tingyu was indeed different.
Since she fainted and lost her memory, she had been like a soulless doll.
But now, after meeting Qi Shifeng, there was suddenly a sense of reality about her.
What did this mean?
Chen Chunyao suddenly wanted to see what expression Qi Ye would have if Xu Tingyu remembered everything.
In Qi Ye's room, Zhang Wan suddenly asked, "Boss, why don't you take Miss Xu to the banquet with you?"
At this critical moment, it would be better for the two of them to appear together.
Qi Ye chuckled softly. "Don't you know what kind of person the client is? If I take Tingyu there, who knows what excessive demands he'll make."
That client was a greedy and lecherous person, well - known for his bad reputation in the industry.
How could he take Xu Tingyu there?
She was his moon. He wished he could hide her from everyone's sight.
Zhang Wan understood what he meant. She pursed her lips, feeling a bit sorry for him.
Both of them were from the Qi family, but Qi Shifeng became the heir of the Qi Group effortlessly.
Then he married the love of Qi Ye's life and didn't cherish her.
Qi Ye had to work hard to earn money and status. Then, through careful planning, he finally managed to get close to Xu Tingyu.
But Xu Tingyu had always been distant and cold towards him. Even after losing her memory, she never gave Qi Ye a smile.
Others might not know, but Zhang Wan did. The two of them hadn't even had any intimate contact.
Even on this trip, Xu Tingyu insisted on staying in a separate room.
In contrast, Qi Shifeng had Xu Tingyu's whole - hearted love.
Even though they were divorced now and Xu Tingyu had forgotten him, he already had a new girlfriend.
And it seemed that he had a good relationship with his new girlfriend.
That Du Jiran clearly looked like a career - oriented strong woman. She would surely be of great help to Qi Shifeng's career.
Didn't they go to discuss a project together today?
And what about Xu Tingyu?
While Qi Ye was being harassed by the client, she even let her "friend" swipe away millions.
She didn't even care about his business.
Yet Qi Ye still protected her so well!
