Chapter 149: I want a daughter
He took a set of work clothes and went to another room, freshened up and changed before going downstairs. Xia Luna wasn’t done yet, so he sat on the couch to wait for her. While at it, he took one of the newspapers that had been delivered a few minutes ago and started reading through it.
"Tsk." He cringed when he read one of the headlines from a slightly popular media house. [Heroes to Zeroes: Oracle Daily in hot soup for reporting false news.]
These days it was quite common for many news agencies to report news they thought was right and later finding out that whatever they had reported was fake, or it was not entirely true. But even after finding out the facts, most of them would not correct the articles, fearing that it would ruin their reputation. However, such a thing had never happened to any of the agencies under Lin Media Group. It was even more shocking that Oracle Daily, the largest and most famous agency under Lin Media Group, was the one being caught up in such a scandal.
"Lin Media Group is seriously deteriorating." Jiang Xingyu frowned as he went on to read the comparison between the news reported by Oracle Daily a few days ago and the actual facts. What a huge difference. Did the journalists even try to check through anything, or did they just hear rumors and blindly dump them into articles?
He was still immersed in the news when a maid reported, "Sir, Madam is here."
Jiang Xingyu thought the maid was talking about Xia Luna but was shocked when he heard the footsteps emanating from the entrance and froze.
Xia Luna was still here! Not only that, but she also wanted her presence to remain unknown, and his mother’s arrival was definitely not going to help that happen.
He turned robotically to face his mother. "Good morning, mother, why are you here?"
Madam Jiang crossed her arms over her chest in disapproval. "Hello to you too."
She reached over to smack his head in annoyance. "You punk. You rarely ever make your way home, and now I cannot even visit my own son unless I have a reason? I guess I should have booked an appointment six months earlier as well?"
Jiang Xingyu was embarrassed by his mother’s words. Now that he thought about, it had been a while since he visited his mother. No wonder she came here early in the morning. Jiang Xingyu awkwardly coughed, "Mother, I didn’t mean it that way. Don’t exaggerate it."
