Chapter 1121: Chapter 1121: Zhi Zhi: You Really Went to a Lot of Trouble
"You’re asking me, right?" Lu Xingzhi’s smile didn’t reach her eyes as she tugged at the corners of her lips. "But I have no obligation to answer you."
Her silence didn’t mean she was actually easy to push around.
"Miss Lu Xingzhi, your refusal to answer, does that mean you’re feeling guilty?"
"Little Zhi Liao, we heard Bertrand passed away, is it true you inherited several billion?"
"Little Zhi Liao, everyone online is saying you and Mr. Bernard had an improper relationship, is that true?"
The reporters threw out questions one after another. If they were going to lose their jobs tomorrow anyway, then they didn’t need to show any consideration anymore.
They were just smashing the broken pot all the way to the ground.
It wasn’t until the last question that Lu Xingzhi finally reacted.
And she was furious. "You can dump any kind of filth on me. But you don’t get to tarnish my teacher’s reputation. The dead are to be respected, do you really not understand that? Have you all abandoned even the most basic bottom line of being human?"
"My teacher lived his whole Life clean and upright, and yet you stand here casually slandering him. If what you said today reaches people abroad, you’re basically sabotaging relations between the two countries."
Lu Xingzhi looked at them coldly. From their microphones and badges she had already recognized their company.
"So it’s you guys. It’s always you on Weibo stirring up netizens to attack me. Every time you make the biggest scene. Really, you’ve gone to so much trouble."
At this moment, the security guards finally arrived, shielding Lu Xingzhi and getting her into the car at last.
Naturally, all of this blew up in the news as well.
[To be honest, I also think those reporters went too far.]
[Yeah, it was too much, deliberately rubbing salt into her wounds. Little Zhi Liao has gotten so much thinner, you can tell she’s really devastated.]
[Just like President Huo said, some people don’t want to expose their vulnerabilities.]
[Little Zhi Liao, come into my arms quick. I’ll protect you.]
[Am I really the only one who thinks President Huo is super handsome?]
[You upstairs are not alone. President Huo is seriously hot, walking hormones in a suit!]
[Is no one going to talk about the several billion inheritance? What’s that about?]
[Did Little Zhi Liao go hit the lottery or something?]
"Zhi Zhi, this is on me. I didn’t arrange enough protection, otherwise those reporters wouldn’t have found us. We’ll have to be more careful from now on." Huo Jincheng sounded a bit guilty.
"It has nothing to do with you! Don’t blame yourself. Besides, I didn’t get hurt at all." Lu Xingzhi thought of the reporters’ questions. "Uncle, how did they even find out about the money I inherited?"
"That should be Bernard’s side’s idea. They did it on purpose," Huo Jincheng told her.
"Oh." Lu Xingzhi thought, they really weren’t going to let things quiet down.
"It’s fine. We’re back in the country now. They don’t dare make any moves here." Huo Jincheng sat there, thinking this whole thing was a bit of a coincidence.
"Okay."

And the one feeling the worst right now was Shen Xinzhu.
Even if it was a scandal, it should have lasted for several more days.
So why did all her trending searches drop the moment Lu Xingzhi returned to the country?
Shen Xinzhu was very unwilling to accept it, but right now she really didn’t dare pull any big moves.
She still wanted to keep playing the game, totally unaware that higher-ups were already getting ready to issue an order to ban her.
"There’s really nothing we can do? That bitch Lu Xingzhi is just determined to go against me. Otherwise, why pick today of all days to come back? I still have to go on stage tomorrow."
