Chapter 64: Reminder
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The comments in the live-stream started firing up again. Several accounts attacked Xing Shu viciously, targeting her scandals—cheating, being a kept woman, bullying, and so on… Everyone was arguing non-stop. In the end, they asked him to go over and ask Xing Shu.
Xing Shu turned around and saw an unfamiliar face.
He Ping extended his hand and said to Xing Shu, “I’m also a student at Beijing
University; a year younger than you.”
Xing Shu shook his hand politely. He Ping did not know what to say. He suddenly regretted coming over. He closed his eyes and said bluntly, “If you have time, go to Beijing University’s campus forum to take a look. Someone has been spreading bad news there for a long time.”
Xing Shu was stunned. She had never paid attention to anything other than work. As for forums and message boards, she had even less time for them. But, she was aware that these platforms were the fastest medium to share news.
Xing Shu said, “Thank you. I’ll go and take a look.”
He Ping nodded. When he realized that Cheng Lang and Ron were looking at him, he instantly felt nervous. These were two faces that often appeared in financial newspapers. He quickly hid his cell phone behind his back. “Then I won’t disturb you anymore.” He Ping quickly found an opportunity to leave.
Then, he found an inconspicuous spot and took out his cell phone again. The comments in the live-stream were still bubbling; many of them were attacks on Xing Shu. It did not seem to be a conspiracy. After all, Xing Shu was not an artist…
As Xing Linlin watched the live-stream on her cell phone, she made another call. She would never allow Xing Shu’s reputation to recover. She had been in contact with a trolling team all these years—regularly arranging for negative exposés on Xing Shu in Beijing University’s forum, Cheng Corporation Group’s forum, or other places. Her method had proven to be effective. When something is repeated enough, people would soon start to believe it.
Xing Linlin looked at the screen with intense jealousy, baffled that Xing Shu could go to the gala. Even Cheng Xingyang did not receive an invitation; what right did Xing Shu have? Xing Linlin was green with envy. She doubled down on the trolls, hoping that they would continue to badmouth Xing Shu.
The comments in the live-stream ballooned, swallowing the positive comments. The comments became increasingly overboard, turning into an online crusade against Xing Shu.
Xing Linlin only felt content when she saw that nobody was speaking up for Xing Shu any more in the comments. She then sent Feng Jian a message: “Feng
Jian, are you overseas?”
Feng Jian: “Nope.. Why?”
Xing Linlin: “Did anyone from the Feng family go to the auction? I saw Xing Shu there. I don’t know why she was at the gala. I asked Cheng Xingyang, but even he didn’t receive an invitation. I was puzzled and wanted to ask you.”
Feng Jian immediately scoured the news. There were media outlets live-streaming the auction overseas, but the auction had already ended. Xing Shu was at the auction? How was thatpossible?! Feng Jian thought of Xing Shu’s deplorable private life and a look of disdain immediately appeared on her face. She sent a message to Xing Linlin: “There are many playboys in the North American social circle. I guess a playboy has taken a fancy to her. Xing Shu is really unbecoming!”
Xing Linlin felt a little uneasy when she saw this message. There was very little content in He Ping’s live-stream, but Cheng Lang appeared in it. She thought of Xing Shu’s promotion. Could Xing Shu have gone overseas with Cheng Lang?
The green-eyed monster reared its ugly head. Just the thought of Xing Shu being able to get close to Cheng Lang made her so jealous. Xing Linlin’s chest heaved violently as she repeatedly thought about the possibility of Xing Shu hooking up with Cheng Lang. Would Cheng Lang admire Xing Shu? No, that was impossible! Xing Shu was a bookworm who only knew how to study. She had such a pretty face but did not know how to make use ofit. She was so dull and boring that even Cheng Xingyang despised her. How could someone like Cheng Lang look at her in a different light?
Xing Linlin took a few deep breaths—deliberately pulled down her collar—and went downstairs. She was at the Xing family home. When Xing Zewu heard that she had come, he got back promptly. There were only the two of them in the hall. Wu Minxia and Xing Guotai had gone to the Cheng family to apologize to
Chen Ru..
