Forced to Marry a Female Billionaire CEO

The people watching the live broadcast were stunned.

Why did the screen suddenly go black?

Moreover, they realized something was amiss. Why was Xu Ke interrupted the very moment he started to fight back?

Could it be that Siao Jia's death was really connected to the Ye Family?!

…

After the live broadcast was cut, two or three quick-reacting security guards rushed over.

No matter how the Wang and Ye Families fought behind the scenes, they would still help each other out in a situation like this.

With several people working together, the female reporter was powerless to resist, no matter how much she struggled or cried out. She could only watch helplessly as she was dragged away.

Why did it turn out like this? Despair flooded the reporter's heart.

But no one came forward to speak up for her.

The middle-aged man shouted even louder, "Just get her out of here! Don't let her spout nonsense."

Everyone watched the absurd scene unfold, a chill running down their spines.

In truth, by now, they all had a pretty good idea of how Siao Jia had really died. If one were to truly investigate the cause of her death, there would undoubtedly be a trove of explosive material to uncover.

And if they wanted to attack Xu Ke, there were still plenty of openings in what he had just said to the female reporter. For example, if you claim not to pay attention to your ex-girlfriend, how did you know she went out with Ye Chen? And why did your ex-girlfriend go out with Ye Chen—did she cheat on you?

They believed asking these questions would definitely create a huge stir.

But they didn't dare ask.

Even the reporter, who had the Ye Family backing her, was dragged away by their own people. So how could those of them without any backing dare to speak up? As for those who did have backing, they were even less likely to pursue matters involving the Ye Family.

There were many ways to attack Xu Ke and the Wang Family. Choosing a method that also attacked the Ye Family… that was a choice only a complete moron would make.

For the sake of their careers, they could only remain silent.

…

On stage, Xu Ke was left somewhat speechless by the scene. He knew the reporter wouldn't face any serious trouble, but her career as a journalist was finished. He just hadn't expected Ye Fan to be so blunt.

It seems he's really used to being arrogant.

…

Ten minutes after the female reporter left, order was restored and the live broadcast resumed. When the broadcast returned, everyone watching saw that the female reporter was gone and immediately sensed a conspiracy. This reporter must have spoken the truth, hitting a nerve with the Ye Family, to receive such terrible treatment.

We have to help her get justice!

Netizens quickly found the female reporter's Weibo, TikTok, and other social media accounts. But at that moment, they were shocked to discover that she was currently live streaming.

On the stream, she claimed she was crazy for fame, which was why she had stolen a press pass and barged into the venue to corner Xu Ke. Now that she had been discovered, she was deeply sorry to Xu Ke and Chuan Hong Media and begged the public for forgiveness.

The crowd was puzzled.

Did this reporter really just want to be famous? Or did the Ye Family pay her off to say she was crazy for fame on TikTok?

Meanwhile, many popular social media accounts began spreading rumors and inside scoops. They claimed the female reporter had actually exposed a Ye Family scandal and was paid off to shut her up. The real scandal was that Siao Jia's death was indeed connected to Ye Chen.

The story went that Siao Jia had cheated on Xu Ke with Ye Chen. But later, Ye Chen abandoned her, crushing her dream of marrying into high society. Jealous of her ex-boyfriend, Xu Ke, who was now marrying into a wealthy family himself, Siao Jia was unable to bear the shame and committed suicide.

Every blogger presented the story as if it were the absolute truth, making it sound completely plausible.

After hearing these two versions of the story, everyone finally thought they understood.

So that's what happened!

Immediately, everyone started cursing Siao Jia, calling her a cheating, gold-digging, stupid, and wicked slag.

Ye Chen is notorious for being a player, how could you take him seriously? What a fucking idiot!

…

Only after the tide of public opinion had turned did the members of the Ye Family breathe a sigh of relief.

"As long as it's handled, just don't hire such idiots in the future," Ye Fan said, his face dark as he spoke on the phone.

This was their impromptu public relations plan. First, spend a sum of money to shut the reporter's mouth, making her post on her TikTok and Weibo about her desperate desire for fame. This would lead everyone to believe the Ye Family had paid her off, encouraging them to dig for the "real" truth.

And when they dug it up, they would discover that there really was a Ye Family scandal! However, this scandal was that Siao Jia had committed suicide because Ye Chen abandoned her. Everyone would think, *Oh, so the reporter was dragged out for exposing this scandal,* and feel like the matter was resolved.

With the narrative shifted, everyone would turn to cursing Siao Jia for being a brainless fool. This way, although the deceased Ye Chen would be criticized for abandoning a woman, and Siao Jia would be dragged through the mud, at least no one would continue to question whether Siao Jia's death was actually a suicide amidst the flood of information. Thus, the Ye Family would be able to escape this incident unscathed.

Even so, Ye Fan was uncontrollably furious. He had planned to attack Xu Ke, but before he could succeed, his own incompetent teammate had set his house on fire. This made Ye Fan so angry he nearly spat up blood.

…

While the reporter was being dragged away and public opinion online was shifting, Chang Xiujuan and Siao Fan were completely dumbfounded.

DING-DONG.

The doorbell rang.

"Please cooperate with our investigation."

Two police officers stood outside their door. Seeing this, Siao Fan and Chang Xiujuan looked as though they had been struck by lightning.

Chang Xiujuan's lips trembled. "Officers, is… is there some mistake?"

Siao Fan's face was deathly pale. I just got out!

The officer's cold response shattered their illusions. "There's no mistake. Please come with us."

The color drained from Chang Xiujuan's face. Didn't Yang Qing promise that I just had to hold up a sign, get the money from Wang Yu, and the whole thing would be over?

Siao Fan shrieked, "Mom, hurry up and message that bitch Yang Qing! Didn't she say the Huang Family would protect us?"

At this, Siao Fan's heart filled with despair. He'd spent fifteen days in jail reminding himself not to provoke Xu Ke again once he got out. But he was still tempted by the eight hundred thousand yuan. And now it looks like I'm going in again!

Chang Xiujuan frantically pulled out her phone. "Okay, I'm sending it now! Xiao Fan, don't panic!"

"You can send messages in the car," one of the officers said, cutting her off. "Right now, we just need you to come with us to cooperate with an investigation."

Siao Fan's expression twisted, and he instinctively tried to struggle. But it was all for naught.

Soon, Chang Xiujuan and Siao Fan were both escorted away, leaving behind a hallway full of whispering and pointing neighbors…

…

While netizens were searching for the female reporter and news of Chang Xiujuan and Siao Fan's arrest, the press conference was still in progress.

After the incidents with Gong Hou and the female reporter, no one without sufficient backing dared to mess with Xu Ke. Who would dare? You'd have to have the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard to even think about touching him.

So they stuck to asking harmless, irrelevant questions.

Seeing that no one was attacking Xu Ke, Wang Liqing's face darkened. "Sister Yu, what do we do now?"

We can't just hire our own people to attack Xu Ke, can we?
