Chapter 203: Madam Zhou's Phone Call

At the same time, inside the Zheng family.

Just as Zheng Haoyuan was preparing for his evening meeting with Zhou Tingting, making thorough preparations, Madam Zheng suddenly rushed in from outside the door: "Something happened, something happened! Someone posted your photos online! Son, quickly tell Mom! Are these real or fake?"

Madam Zheng directly handed the online news to Zheng Haoyuan to look at.

Zheng Haoyuan originally thought it was nothing, but just a glance made his eyes widen: "Who posted this online? Who!"

These videos and surveillance footage were clearly supposed to have been destroyed—how could they possibly appear online?

Who dares to expose these things so boldly?

Do they not care about their lives anymore?

Zheng Haoyuan's complexion gradually grew grim.

Madam Zheng was extremely anxious: "This matter has already spread across the entire internet; if the Zhou family sees it, they will surely call off the marriage talks with our family! What a sin!"

Zheng Haoyuan wasn't afraid of anything else; he only feared that this news would reach his father's ears.

Heaven knows how much his father wishes him to marry Zhou Tingting home; if he fails to do so, he will surely receive a severe beating.

Moreover, he would never think of getting any money from his father in the future.

Zheng Haoyuan, with a dark face, threw down his phone and was about to go out.

Seeing this, Madam Zheng became even more frightened; she immediately went over and grabbed her son, anxiously saying: "What are you going out to do at a time like this? This isn't letting people point at your backbone and scold you?"

Now this news is causing an uproar online; who doesn't know the three words Zheng Haoyuan? The Zheng family's reputation will be completely ruined!

"Are we just going to let them say that about me? Mom, why are you standing there? Hurry up and call the press to have them suppress the news!"

In the past, whenever Zheng Haoyuan got into trouble, he would always hand it over to his subordinates to handle; because his family had power and influence, no one dared to escalate it to the police.

Even if he had crippled someone, no one would dare to file a report—afterwards, just giving money would settle it.

But today's matter is different.

Previously, his actions had already been reported in the news, with evidence and witnesses; many people voluntarily spoke up, wanting to report Zheng Haoyuan to the police.

Among them were some whom Zheng Haoyuan had forced himself upon, some who had been beaten because he was dissatisfied with them, and some who were company employees inexplicably beaten by Zheng Haoyuan.

Zheng Haoyuan already had a violent tendency; as soon as this news broke, many people came forward to denounce him.

It was as if they had agreed beforehand, all coming to cause trouble for Zheng Haoyuan.

At this moment, Mr. Zheng at the company had also seen the online news; upon seeing it, the thought of strangling his own son crossed his mind.

Clearly, they were about to discuss marriage with the Zhou family soon, yet Zheng Haoyuan got into trouble at this very moment!

'Ding-ding—'

At that moment, the phone in Mr. Zheng's office rang again—who knew how many calls it had been today—just as Mr. Zheng was about to hang up, he saw the caller ID showed it was from the Zhou family.

Upon seeing it was a call from the Zhou family, Mr. Zheng, without hesitation, quickly answered.

From the other end came Madam Zhou's icy voice: "Mr. Zheng, have you seen the news?"

"I've seen it… I've seen it; it's all baseless rumors. We've already had our PR team handle it! Madam Zhou, our two families have always been on good terms; you've also seen this child Haoyuan—you should know he's not like that. This must be someone deliberately stirring trouble."

"I've had people investigate the videos and article content on the news; the photos and footage are completely genuine, and those people have already filed police reports. I believe the police will soon get to the bottom of this."

"Filed a police report? Who reported it?"

Mr. Zheng had no idea those people had already filed a police report.

His complexion instantly turned ugly.

If they filed a report, wouldn't the matter blow up even more?

Mr. Zheng was about to say something else, but Madam Zhou on the other end said: "If Zheng Haoyuan is truly wronged, I trust the police will give him justice; but if he isn't, he should also receive due punishment. Mr. Zheng, what do you say?"

Upon hearing Madam Zhou's words, Mr. Zheng felt his heart sink halfway; this would mean the two families could no longer arrange a marriage alliance, right?

Mr. Zheng took a deep breath and said: "Madam Zhou, please rest assured; tonight our two families will meet as usual, and I will have Zheng Haoyuan personally promise Tingting that everything online is just rumor."

Madam Zhou, listening to Mr. Zheng's words, found them laughable, as if she were some three-year-old child.

Since the videos and photos are genuine, there is absolutely no possibility of Photoshop.

Then Zheng Haoyuan is a man with a chaotic private life and a violent temper; she would absolutely not marry her daughter to such a man.

"Mr. Zheng, you'd better first take care of your son's affairs; I think the meeting between our parents should be postponed, after all my Tingting is still in her senior year of high school—her studies are more important—so let's leave it at that."

Madam Zhou hung up directly; Mr. Zheng glanced at the disconnected phone, his heart filled with rising anger: "Where is that little brat? Get him to see me right away!"

Mr. Zheng's face turned grim.

At such a critical juncture, Zheng Haoyuan actually went and messed up!

He had already warned this son before, telling Zheng Haoyuan not to be too reckless.

Even if something happened outside, it should be cleaned up neatly, but this child handles things in a sloppy way, actually letting his deeds become news.

Now things are fine—his family not only has to suffer from these scandals, but the marriage alliance with the Zhou family is also ruined; most importantly, Zheng Haoyuan might even end up eating prison food.

Zheng Haoyuan was quickly brought to the company by his secretary; Mr. Zheng, without a word, slapped his son: "I told you not to mess around outside, but you wouldn't listen! Now look—others have put your affairs in the news! How are you going to wrap this up?"

Zheng Haoyuan was struck so hard by Mr. Zheng's slap that he couldn't utter a word.

Mr. Zheng also knew his son's deeds were not clean; over the years he had turned a blind eye, but who would have thought it would blow up into such a huge matter.

Mr. Zheng, with a cold face, told Zheng Haoyuan: "Listen up—I don't care what methods you use, fix this immediately! If you miss this chance at the marriage alliance with the Zhou family, then no one can save you!"
