She coughed. She couldn't believe that Jiang Li was getting jealous of Lihua.

Then it struck her. "Oh yes! I forgot I was going to message her to unlock the door."

They quickly took a bath and got dressed. As soon as she dropped the message, they heard a clicking sound from outside.

Lihua slowly opened the door and peeked inside. "Done. Have you two...talked it out?"

Jiang Li sneered. "We have done much more than just talking thanks to you."

She coughed. "You're welcome. You should be grateful to me."

Jiang Lanying hugged her and sincerely said, "Thank you, Lixue. If not for you, we wouldn't have gotten this chance to sort things out."

She proudly grinned. "Technically Jiang Li shouldn't have run away but whatever…" she eyed him and he looked away. She snorted and then giggled. "Hehe, I see you glowing for some reason."

Jiang Lanying blushed. "I-It's nothing…"

"Don't lie. I am happy that you two finally confessed your feelings, hehe... Alright! Since the couple is reunited, let's head back home!"

---

At Jiang villa, there was a grave atmosphere that had settled in. Jiang Ninghong was constantly eyeing the door. She didn't show it in her expression but Jiang Weiyuan knew that she was deathly worried inside.

When the two couples finally stepped in, the Old Madam stopped them. "You are finally back!"

She stormed her way towards them and gritted her teeth. "Where the hell were you all!?"

Lihua and Jiang Lanying exchanged shocked glances.

What happened that got Old Madam so riled up?

Jiang Ruiling gently hugged her brother and looked at him, distressed. "Bro…"

"What is happening here?"

Jiang Fai anxiously signaled Lihua to check her phone. Lihua blinked her eyes and saw his message.

'Open Weibo! It's horrible! You will understand everything.'

She frowned and checked the latest posts. Her eyes widened in shock seeing the news about Jiang Li. He was the most trending topic right now in all the search lists.

Everybody said how Jiang Li had fertility problems and couldn't be able to become a father. Last night's banquet pictures went viral and a video was uploaded where Lai Chang exposed Jiang Li's secret. The video had caused a huge uproar in social media and the keyboard warriors already began dissing and throwing insulting comments at Jiang Li.

'Jiang Li of the most prestigious Jiang family has "issues" with his little brother haha…'

'Jiang Li is impotent, oh God! Shocking!'

'This is the real reason for not having a child even after two years.'

'How is Jiang Li even living without feeling embarrassed? His manhood is defective and he still keeps a straight face!'

'His poor wife. I pity her.'

'Jiang Li even kept this secret from his family. Shameless!'

'Jiang Lanying should leave such a cheater! How could he lie about such a huge thing and fool her?'

'Will she have to live forever without having a child?'

'That would be so heartbreaking.'

'Jiang Li shouldn't have lied. Disgusting! He has betrayed his wife!'

As Lihua scrolled through the comments, her expression turned ugly and her gaze darkened.

What the hell!? How can anybody be so rude!?

The Old Madam threw the phone towards Jiang Li. "Read! What is happening, Li? You just went to attend a banquet. How the hell did this mess start about your fertility!?"

Jiang Li calmly read through everything without much change in his expression. He remained unaffected. But on the other side, Jiang Lanying was shell-shocked. Tears rimmed in her eyes seeing how everybody was humiliating him.

He squeezed her hand and shook his head as if saying not to bother.

The Old Madam said, "Say something!"

"...It's true," he said.

She looked at him in disbelief. "You…you really cannot…?"

He said nothing.

Jiang Ninghong stood in front of him as she folded her arms. "Why did you hide this from us until now?"

"I thought that was the only appropriate solution. But…now I have realized that I was wrong. I have hurt you and Lanying by keeping this from all."

Jiang Weiyuan narrowed his eyes. "...How did this happen?"

Jiang Li said everything to which his father quietly listened. "What happened to the enemy?"

"I dealt with them, naturally," there was a distinct hint of coldness in his voice.

Jiang Xiurang worriedly said, "Li you...You had such a major accident. Somebody tried to kill you and you said nothing? Aren't we your family?"

"I am sorry, Aunt."

Jiang Weizhe tapped his finger on the couch and slowly asked, "Who has posted this?"

Lihua gritted her teeth. "It must be that Lai Chang! He still holds grudges towards Jiang Li because Jiang Lanying rejected him."

Wei said, "Don't worry about it, Lixue. I will order the legal PR team to delete all the posts."

The Old Madam glared at him. "Delete? Do you think that deleting the posts will do anything at this point!? This has already spread like wildfire! People are not going to forget this by pressing this issue anymore. If we delete it, then everyone would definitely believe that Jiang Li cannot…" she clenched her fists.

She never imagined that a son from the Jiang family would ever have such issues.

Lihua said, "But it is the truth. We cannot hide it. But we definitely have to slap these offenders! How can they be so cruel!?"

The Old Madam looked at her in disbelief. "You want us to acknowledge this!? Are you crazy? We cannot delete the posts now but we will definitely not admit that Li has issues! Do you think I would let such a blemish fall upon the Jiang family?"

Jiang Lanying stiffened.

Blemish…

Jiang Ruiling coldly said, "Don't say that about bro. It was an accident. Why should bro bear anything?"

Lihua nodded.

"Ruiling! Don't you dare talk back to me! Do you think anybody will care about his accident!? Nobody! Nobody will give a damn! They will only look at the result and that is Jiang Li cannot become a father!"

Silence.

Lihua was confused. "So what do you want to do? Neither delete the posts nor accept them."

The Old Madam stared at Jiang Lanying. "I have thought about this ever since this matter exploded. We have only one way to deal with this and that is to reject the claims of Li having any problems. Instead, we will say that Lanying is the one with problems."
