Falling Dreams, Rising Hopes: Saving Mr. Boyfriend

The reporters had been hounding Yu Tian and Bai Yuchen all this while. Thankfully, some attention from these two was diverted when scandals of other people involved started coming into limelight. However, Yu Ming and Yu Rong's case brought back the attention to Yu family.

Within three days, one of the major media houses had managed to sniff Yu Rong's abuse towards Yu Tian as well. Another explosive news came out right after Yu Tian revealed about his condition to his friends.

"The scion of Yu family, a weak man"

"Yu Tian victim of abuse by his own aunt"

"Is Yu Tian capable of running Yu empire?" were a few headlines in the newspapers and on the TV. Suddenly, Yu Tian had become a hot topic.

He had managed to remain in the school campus and avoid any unpleasant encounters with media people but till when could he remain quiet?

An emergency board meeting was called at the Yu empire to question the claims of the media since Yu Rong was in jail, refusing to see anyone and Yu Tian had holed himself up in the school.

Yu Tian had to show up, since it would determine his future as the heir and leader of Yu empire. Mei Qingyang got him ready personally.

"We will get through this Tian. Do not seek sympathy, but do not show any signs of rage as well, okay? We will be our cool selves," Mei Qingyang gave a few tips to the guy. He was best in remaining neutral at times like these because of his exposure to the cameras and media but she still wanted to remind him.

Yu Tian's eyes softened at all her nagging. He stole a kiss from her lips in the meantime.

"You…," Mei Qingyang became fl.u.s.tered and then, in a bold manner, she pulled his tie towards him and went in for a passionate kiss. Yu Tian smacked his own lips once they parted. She had smeared her lipstick all over his lips.

She brought in a tissue, rubbing her hand gently over his lips, both giggling at their silliness.

Before they even arrived at the Yu Headquarters, their car was surrounded by a swarm of reporters. Everyone wanted to know the truth behind the rumors.

Both of them took a deep breath and got out of the car. Their hearts were thumping loudly, enough that they could hear their own heartbeats.

Mei Qingyang confidently put her arm in his arm, and they headed inside the building. The journalists wanted to interview them then and there but Yu Tian commanded them in a smooth manner with one sentence, "We will have a full press conference regarding the situation once we resolve it here. Please wait."

The power couple was so badass in front of the crown that everyone themselves parted and made way for the two people.

Inside, they came to halt in front of the board meeting hall.

Both of them took a deep breath in. "Let's do this," Yu Tian spoke to Mei Qingyang who nodded in encouragement.

"You got to resign. Your reputation has hit rock bottom. Ms. Yu was still the best person to lead the Empire," one of Yu Rong's supporters started as soon as they entered the room.

"Are you kidding me? She is behind the bars precisely because she was not fit to run the company," another board member yelled.

And the war of words started. A few were opposing Yu Tian, few loyal dogs were still favoring Yu Rong and another few asked to bring in Bai Yuchen to replace Yu Tian.

The battle had become intense, people blaming each other, getting up from their seats and pointing fingers.

The couple kept sitting at the head of the table quietly, letting people take out their frustration on each other. After they grew tired of the drama, Yu Tian hit the table loudly with his palms. Everyone went quiet once the leader had taken action.

"I do not care whom you support. The fact is that I won't resign. Because I did nothing wrong," Yu Tian started speaking slowly, addressing the crowd which was looking at him with disgust.

"You… could not even save yourself from your own aunt, do you think you would be able to run the empire?" an old board member questioned him from behind.

"Yeah, you are weak. You should have manned up and slapped the woman. They need to be shown their place," another old man with conservative thinking reproached the young man standing in front of them.

A few more showed their agreement to these two people.

"Ahem," Mei Qingyang coughed when she heard these misogynistic remarks for no reason. "This is why our society never progresses. You think his is the only case? Young boys are bullied like him all the time. Pretty sure there are a few of you here who prefer fragile young men than women," a sarcastic smile spread across her face, indicating that she had intel on a lot of people here.

The earlier crowd all went silent and started looking here and there. There were quite a few old perverted uncles and aunties in the crowd who enjoyed the company of young men.

"Now look at the circ.u.mstances of the young ones you pick for your p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e. Everyone has their own reasons. So, I would ask you lot to shut up. The pot is calling the kettle black. You guys make me laugh," she spoke coldly. These lechers were themselves involved in the exact same activity they were showing disdain towards.

After her blow out, she had full attention from the people there. Everyone gulped few sips of water, they had been exposed. With the hammer of police and common masses going down on their own peers, it was a better choice to join Yu Tian's cohort to save their own asses.

Once this realization dawned upon them, they silently made the decision to support the new leader.

"You guys don't understand the situation you are in. We have all the information about your dirty deeds. Do you know why you guys are here but your peers have been sent with Yu Rong behind the bars?" she stood up from her seat and went around the room, slowly. With each clack of her heel, the hearts of people around trembled with fear.

What was this lass going to do? Point a few more people out and ask them to go home forever?

"You guys are obviously here because we have blocked the dirt on you to come out in open. Once your information leaks, no one would be able to save you. So, we do expect cooperation from you guys. The decision is up to you people," she threatened everyone present boldly.

The board members looked at each other in fear. This mad couple could actually do it. They had to make a wise choice.

"Ah! Young master Yu, you do not need to worry, you have our full support," a person, who had been criticizing him vehemently just now, said while wiping his head with a handkerchief.

"Good that you guys understand," the viciousness in Yu Tian's eyes retracted a bit but he still looked like a ferocious beast with his cold handsome face.
