Su Ding’s scandal had only just subsided when such a major incident erupted today, making it impossible to suppress. This was no longer a matter of money.
The main issue was that the events had been broadcast live, not just to Jiangcheng, but to all of China. Anyone following the real-time entertainment news knew about it.
Jin Ye looked at her, pondered for a moment, then took her hand. "After I've handled Jin Ling's matters, we'll move abroad."
Public opinion alone was manageable, but now, someone had released the indecent video that had been played at the wedding. Since Su Ding was a public figure, such an incident was difficult to ignore. Even Jin Ye himself, along with Huangqi Group, would be swept into the controversy.
The only way to resolve this now was to move away.
Huangqi Group was a nationwide conglomerate with branches abroad, so Jin Ye moving overseas would have no impact.
However, Su Ding felt a pang of melancholy.
Jin Ye had sacrificed too much for her, and from the bottom of her heart, she didn't want him to be dragged down by her.
As they remained silent, a servant's voice echoed from outside, "Sir, Madam, someone named Liang Tian is here and wishes to see Madam."
"Liang Tian?"
Hearing the name, Su Ding expressed surprise.
She looked puzzled. Why would Xie Shanshan’s cousin come to see her?
Jin Ye didn't know anyone named Liang Tian. Seeing Su Ding's expression, he realized she might be an acquaintance, but he had to remain cautious, especially at a time like this when many people sought to capitalize on trends.
"Perhaps we can postpone the meeting for now?"
Jin Ye said softly. Even if Su Ding didn't see any issue, he had to ensure she wouldn't be subjected to secondary cyberbullying, just in case.
Su Ding understood Jin Ye's concern. She smiled, nodded, and then said to the servant, "Ask her to leave. Tell her it's not convenient for me to see visitors right now."
Although she knew Liang Tian, their relationship wasn't that close. Even she wasn't very clear about Liang Tian's intentions.
However, recalling her impressions from previous encounters, they had been positive.
She probably wasn't someone who would fawn over others or abandon principles for profit. But she couldn't figure out why Liang Tian was here.
"You step aside. I'll see what she wants to say."
Jin Ye pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice.
At this juncture, for someone to suddenly appear claiming they could help resolve their current crisis piqued his curiosity. What was this person's background?
Perhaps he could glean some information.
"Alright."
Su Ding nodded. To avoid further trouble, this was the only way.
She also wanted to know Liang Tian's motive.
Soon, Su Ding entered the living room's storage room, positioned diagonally opposite the sofa, allowing her to listen.
The servant brought Liang Tian in.
Liang Tian's haggard face was filled with a solemn and anxious expression. She clenched her fists tightly and walked in with her head bowed.
Upon seeing Jin Ye, her pupils contracted, and she became even more nervous.
She recognized this man as Su Ding's husband, the one who had released the video of her impersonating Su Ding and being intimate with Wang Yan at their wedding that day...
Facing another victim, Liang Tian felt even more guilt and unease.
Coupled with Jin Ye's usual dignified aura from his high position, Liang Tian felt her legs trembling and dared not look up.
"Liang Tian, please sit."
Jin Ye's expression was somber. His dark eyes didn't deliberately scrutinize Liang Tian, but he saw through her demeanor. This person wasn't just nervous; she also seemed guilty.
Liang Tian's dry lips trembled. She moved her stiff legs and sat on the sofa.
She breathed with difficulty, organizing her thoughts internally.
"You said you can resolve Su Ding's problems?"
Jin Ye asked faintly.
Although he didn't intentionally pressure her, Liang Tian was extremely tense.
Liang Tian nodded with difficulty.
She said hoarsely, "Is Miss Su Ding here?"
Regarding this matter, she truly felt ashamed to face the kind Su Ding, but she also knew that if she didn't tell Su Ding the truth face-to-face, the guilt in her heart would never be alleviated.
Hearing that Liang Tian wanted to see Su Ding, Jin Ye frowned slightly, then said, "I can convey your message."
The implication was clear: she was not allowed to see Su Ding.
Liang Tian bit her lip and let out a muffled "Mm." Then, she slowly said, "I know about today's events. The media's cyberbullying of Miss Su Ding mainly stems from that video at last year's wedding..."
Upon hearing this, Jin Ye's face suddenly darkened. He stared coldly at Liang Tian, his gaze like a knife, exuding a sharp, oppressive aura.
"What did you say?"
He had always been unwilling to mention this matter again.
Everyone in Jiangcheng believed that Jin Ye was rich and powerful, so why would he insist on marrying a female celebrity who already had a child? Moreover, a video of Su Ding being intimate with another man at the wedding had been exposed.
Yet, he had never done anything to harm Su Ding.
He believed in Su Ding; Su Ding was the victim. He could only love her more intensely, not spread rumors and smear her like other netizens who didn't understand her.
Others had also been wise enough not to bring this matter up.
Liang Tian, this woman, had actually brought it up herself. What did she want to say? What was her solution?
"I... I..."
Liang Tian's legs went weak under Jin Ye's sudden sharp gaze.
The guilt and unease in her heart made her flustered.
She stammered, unable to form a complete sentence for a long time, before finally standing up.
With a thud!
Liang Tian knelt directly on the ground before Jin Ye!
No longer able to control her choked sobs and fear, she blurted out, "The woman in the video is not Su Ding... It's me!"
