Chapter 17; You are the ones spoiling her..

"It's all clear.." Zhan Hong exhaled deeply as he gazed at his father who was quiet all this time, he didn't know what was going through his mind.

They alighted and walked to the steel door, they rang the doorbell, and Zhan Shan and Mu Rong walked down to the gate and peeped to see who it was before opening the door.

"Mother, father.." Zhan Shan was nervous, her father had always reminded her, she can do anything but never sully their family name or prestige.

Zhan Tao raised his hand and smacked her face forcefully, she stumbled back a bit, it was so loud and surprised everyone, Mu Rong hurriedly supported her shielding her from her father.

"Uncle, it's my fault... you should reprimand me, she is pregnant, don't hurt her..." Mu Rong felt heartache seeing the red patch on her face that was reddening faster with clear finger imprints.

"You ingrate! Do you know the kind of damage you are inflicting on our family, what do you know how this scandal is affecting our company?.." he pointed his index fingers toward her as his entire body trembled in anger while trying to hold it in.

"Zhan Tao.." Wen Feng hurriedly held his left arm, trying to cajole him, she was wearing a black dress with a heavy coat.. matched with black high heels, her hair was short and reached around her neck, it was brown and permed.

She reached only to the shoulders of her husband, she felt heartache for her daughter.

"You are the ones spoiling her.. now see your good daughter... See the kind of a mess she has created.." He was angered to the brim, Zhan Hong scurried to his right side, and held his arm intimately.

"Father, you need to calm down and watch over your health.." he narrowed his eyes on Mu Rong cautioning him not to say anything to rile his father's emotions.

"You will be the end of me.." they walked into the compound and immediately entered the living room.

Mu Rong with Zhan Shan tagged behind them as he carried her inside and placed her on the couch.

Back at the Zhan Mansion, the PR manager finally called them, Zhan Zhei pressed the phone loudspeaker button.

"Hello Mr. President, it's like this.. since most of her fans think it's a clout chase, then let's arrange for her to do some ads for our company products, her and Mu Rong, and then we can say they were seen together because they were rehearsing.. "

" Another version, is to let her hold an engagement party and this will calm the masses down but still it will be far-fetched and we might not receive any desired outcome.. "

" Another one, we can request Mu Shen as the patriarchy of the Mu family, to give a statement personally or from the company.. it will work and eliminate all these rumors.."

" Another one is for them to get married tomorrow morning and then they can say they were engaged since childhood and now they are nurturing their relationship and thus why they kept it a secret.."

"All these arrangements can work but each one of them has merit and demerit and also if she is planning to be in the showbiz industry then I think it's best to quit the entire affair.. because of all the options, every one of them will affect her career. " He expressed his opinions and things they can manage to handle.

" What if we use them for the commercial ad? Something like perfume or a couple's clothes.. will it work?" Zhan Zhei inquired while gazing at his brother.

"It can work but it will need a lot to convince the netizens and if there's more negativity, it might affect the company products and the online community decides on boycotting them." It was a high-risk experiment and didn't know what will be the outcome, solve the crisis or cause more damage.

"All right, I will give you a call once I think of something..." Zhan Ping hung up and glanced at Zhan Zhei, he was feeling anxious and restless, it was almost 2 am and they were still here wide awake without a valid solution.

"It's more troublesome than I thought.. we can't risk the company anymore, we will give it a bad image.." he leaned back on his chair while massaging his temples, it has been days now since he had some good rest, he has been busy dealing with new projects, and funds to inject into their company.
