Chapter 327: A Storm Of Public Opinion
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Looking at the reporters behind them, Xue Yi pulled Qiao Xi into a lounge. There was a group of bodyguards guarding the door. Not even a fly could get in.
…
Soon, a topic quickly spread online. The Qiao family had bought a trending topic. The topic was ‘Qiao Rou was slandered. It turns out the mistress is someone else’. Qiao Rou’s fans started reposting it.
The media had also edited the video at the scene. It showed Gu Moling admitting that Qiao Xi seduced him and almost ruined his relationship with Qiao Rou.
There was also news about Zhao Lili. She accused Qiao Xi of snatching a man from her younger sister. She revealed some photos of Qiao Xi and Gu Moling together, confirming the fact that she previously tried to seduce her younger sister’s man.
At this moment, Gu Zheng was sitting on the sofa and clicking open those photos.
There was a scene of Qiao Xi and Gu Moling holding hands as they got into the car. There was also a photo of Qiao Xi and Gu Moling standing opposite each other with smiles on their faces. In another photo, the two of them were on a date.
Gu Zheng narrowed his eyes. How could the woman he treasured tolerate their slander?
His long fingers tapped on the table, then he picked up his phone to call Gu Yan.
After Gu Yan picked up the call, his voice trembled slightly. “President… President Gu?”
…
In the lounge on the other side, Qiao Xi looked at the comments online with interest. Most of them were posted by Qiao Rou’s fans.
[The elder sister seduced her brother-in-law! She’s really shameless! She even wronged Rou Rou previously. This woman is too scheming!]
[Our Rou Rou is so pitiful! She has been bullied by that b*tch for so many years. If it weren’t for Young Master Gu’s firm character and persistence in being with Rou Rou, Rou Rou would be so sad.]
[I finally understand why Xu Mei sold Qiao Xi to President Qian. Qiao Xi has done so much to Rou Rou. As Rou Rou’s mother, she definitely couldn’t sit idly by. This kind of woman deserves to die!]
Xue Yi snorted. “Qiao Rou’s fans are really the same as her. They’re all brainless!”
Qiao Xi smiled. “What’s strange about that? Her fans almost killed me! They even said that killing me for Qiao Rou was an honor.”
At this moment, footsteps came from outside.
Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows. They were finally here.
…
Qiao Rou and Gu Moling were in the lounge. They picked up their phones and watched the news online.
Gu Moling looked helpless. “Rou Rou, stop crying. You won’t look good if you cry. A reporter will come to interview you later.”
Qiao Rou wiped her tears. “I don’t know how things ended up like this. Sister will definitely hate me. What should I do?! But if I tell the truth, the companies under your name will be affected and my endorsements will be canceled. After all, the company’s interests are the most important.”
“That’s why it’s best to let Qiao Xi shoulder this crime. This wasn’t our intention at all. It’s just that public opinion has already fallen to one side. If we step out and clarify things now, no one will believe us.”
Gu Moling pulled her into his arms. “This isn’t your fault. It was Zhao Lili who said it in front of everyone. It’s better if you don’t keep in contact with her in the future. She’s not a good person to malign Qiao Xi like this.”
Qiao Xi nodded, but her eyes were filled with viciousness.
Zhao Lili had only said a few words to Qiao Xi before Brother Moling stopped her from interacting with Zhao Lili. It seemed that he still cared about Qiao Xi.
How detestable!
However, so what if that was the case? Now that Qiao Xi’s reputation was ruined and everyone was cursing at her, she would probably have to hide her identity from now on.
Moreover, Qiao Rou was about to marry Brother Moling. She would be Mrs. Gu, while Qiao Xi would be a lowly mistress!
Just then, someone knocked on the door.
The assistant said, “Sir, Chairman Xue, Madam Xue, and the second young master of the Gu family, Gu Yao, are here. The chancellor wants you to go over.”
Gu Moling stood up and straightened his clothes. “Alright, I’ll go out now!”
He had donated 80 million this time not only for Qiao Rou but also to enter high society.
If he could build a good relationship with Chairman Xue, it would be very helpful to his future career.
Gu Moling instructed softly, “Rou Rou, you haven’t met Chairman Xue and Madam Xue before. Don’t spout nonsense later. The couple is famous in high society. I believe they won’t make things difficult for you.”
Qiao Rou wiped her tears and nodded obediently.
