In the entire workers' cafeteria, at least twenty or so people were seated at this moment. Regardless of gender, most of them were watching the scene unfolding between Zheng Hao and Xia Yihan as if they were enjoying a show. There were no shortage of jealous women, who felt an indescribable sense of psychological balance upon seeing such a beautiful woman being implicated in misconduct. The men were also sighing and shaking their heads, feeling that when it came to choosing a wife, it was better not to pick someone too beautiful; ordinary women generally wouldn't encounter such issues.

Xia Yihan's face turned red and then white with Fang Lina's accusations. Even with her composure, she couldn't just stand by and watch others slander her innocence. She abruptly stood up and coldly said to Fang Lina, "There should be limits to slandering others. If you don't have any evidence, please refrain from making baseless accusations."

Zheng Hao had his doubts when he first heard those words, but seeing Xia Yihan's predicament, he felt that even if it were true, she shouldn't be questioned in public. "I'm not making things up. Everyone knows about this. If you don't believe me, ask Tian Ai or Sun Mengmeng. Who doesn't know?" Liu Xiaojiao, as if suddenly finding courage, also stood up to speak for Xia Yihan. "Lina, don't talk like that. Yihan is a good person; she's not that kind of person."

"Oh, how long have you known her? You're speaking for her? Could it be that you're the same kind?" Fang Lina retorted sarcastically, leaving Liu Xiaojiao stammering and unable to respond.

Before Xia Yihan could come to Liu Xiaojiao's defense, Zheng Hao pointed at Fang Lina and sternly shouted, "Shut up! Stop spouting nonsense!" Zhao Tianai felt that the situation had escalated enough and that Xia Yihan's reputation was probably beyond repair.

She tugged at Fang Lina's dress and whispered, 'Never mind, Lina, let's eat. We all work together, and we should take care of each other. It's better not to have conflicts.' After Fang Lina sat down, Xia Yihan didn't eat anymore, placed her bowl on the table, and left immediately. Zheng Hao hurriedly chased after her, and once they left, the discussion about her in the cafeteria boiled over. 'Yihan, I don't believe what they say, and neither will anyone else. Don't take it to heart.' 'I'm fine, Zheng Hao, thank you! I feel bad that you got into trouble for helping me. Don't speak for me in the future, this is my own business, I can handle it.' After Xia Yihan left the cafeteria, she had slowly calmed her emotions. Some people's thoughts and actions cannot be changed; the innocent will prove their innocence. She just needed to know who she was. One day she would leave, and all of this would become history. 'I'm glad you're okay, I'm not afraid of offending them, they're just people without quality.' 'Hmm! Thank you!' She nodded, but in her heart, she thought, Zheng Hao, I will definitely do something for you if I have the chance. At this moment, in the Ye residence, I can't get too close to you, I know we are friends, but they will take the opportunity to cause trouble. I have a mission, I can't afford any mishaps, I'm really sorry. 'You go ahead, I need to continue with the housework.' Xia Yihan said somewhat coldly. 'Let me help you, there's still some time before work.' 'No need! I like to be alone, I'm a very reclusive person, and I don't want to make friends. Zheng Hao, I hope you understand what I mean.'

Zheng Hao's smile froze on his face, and then he smiled awkwardly and said, 'It doesn't matter, I understand. You're busy, I won't bother you in the future.' Watching Zheng Hao's lonely figure, Xia Yihan sighed inwardly. The butler was always much stricter with her than with others. Wherever she wiped, it had to be with a white cloth, and there couldn't be a speck of dust or stain on it. As she was wiping, footsteps sounded at the door, and soon she heard the butler's commanding voice with a hint of anger: 'Xia Yihan, come out! Come to the hall!' Indeed, it wasn't so easy to remain calm. She steadied herself, put the cloth aside, stood up, and walked out. The maids were all in the hall, and unlike usual, they were not standing in formation. Fang Lina, Zhao Tianai, and Sun Mengmeng had 'schadenfreude' written all over their faces. Liu Xiaojiao and Jiu Jiu looked somewhat worried, and also seemed to have the courage to be angry but not to speak. Xia Yihan stood in front of the butler, calmly waiting for him to speak. 'I heard you seduced the staff here?' the butler asked coldly. Xia Yihan raised her eyes and said indifferently, 'You also said it's hearsay, that's unfounded rumor.' 'Rumor?' Fang Lina raised her voice to question, and then said, 'If it weren't for your seduction, would someone speak for you in front of so many people? You seduced the Crown Prince, and also seduced...' 'Enough!' The butler raised his hand to stop Fang Lina's words, and with a stern face said to Xia Yihan, 'Now with so many witnesses, there's no room for you to quibble. Pack your things and leave immediately!'

This time he was throwing caution to the wind; even if Mr. Ye were to blame him, at most he would deduct some wages, but he wouldn't kick him out. He couldn't let his nephew be entangled by her. Xia Yihan held her head high, her attitude neither servile nor overbearing. "Unless Mr. Ye tells me to leave, I won't go!" "How shameless! Still clinging on and not leaving." Fang Lina curled her lips in sarcasm. The butler didn't pay attention to Fang Lina and said into his earpiece, "Zhang Feng, Li Ping, come to the main house immediately!" Soon, two security guards ran into the hall, waiting for the butler's orders. The butler's face grew even darker, and there was a hint of ruthlessness in it. "Xia Yihan, do you want to leave on your own, or shall I have them throw you out?" The situation had escalated to this point; with the Mr. Ye absent, the butler was the master of the house. It hadn't been easy for her to come here, and if she left now, she might never have the chance to return. The image of Mo Xiaojun's tragic state flashed before Xia Yihan's eyes; she couldn't let him die with regrets, absolutely not. She took a deep breath, raised her head, and said to the butler very seriously, "I'm sorry, I was wrong, I won't..." "It's too late for apologies! Drag her out!" With the butler's order, Zhang Feng and Li Ping each ran towards her from one side. "You can't do this!" Xia Yihan tried to reason as she dodged backwards. "Even if I leave, I will find Mr. Ye, and then you will be responsible." "Even if Mr. Ye finds out, he wouldn't care about a little maid! Stop scaring me!" "Both of you, immediately drag her out!" As soon as the butler finished speaking, a very indifferent question came from behind: "What happened?"
