Chapter 54 – The Heroine’s Golden Finger? (1)
As soon as Lu Ting’s post went live, a video was leaked out.
The video was an interview with the residents of Lin Yueqi’s hometown.
The reporter showed the residents the video that was was supposed to be video proof of Tuantuan being abused. After the older women watching the video while peeling corn in the yard began discussing it.
Auntie A, “That man in the video’s not from our village. How can that fat little girl be abused? Bullied? You reporters are just overthinking it.”
Auntie B, “Yeah, that’s right. Everyone knows that Lin Yue’s family raises that little girl well. Not only do they have imported milk powder for her she even gets two whole bowls of meat to herself. She’s only five but she’s an active girl. She’s always hopping about. You say she’s discriminated against by the kids in the village? Bullied? Come on, she’s good a good head on her that one, there’s a higher chance of her being the bully!”
Auntie C, “Where did these people come from? How can they slander our Sis Yue and our village treasure?”
The reporter said, “The village treasure?”
Auntie C explained, “That girl, Lin Yueqi, she’s out village’s treasure! After she turned into a star she donated a lot of money to fix the roads, opening up the path between our village and the Qingshan Ancient Town, allowing our village to become a tourist attraction as well. And also, she also donated a lot of money to build schools. She really did a lot to help out the village, so tell me, isn’t she the village treasure?”
…
The video above clarified that rumors of Lin Yueqi abusing Tuantuan really were just rumors.
The letter of Lu Ting’s lawyer, as well as his own public statement, proved it. As a result, all the public opinion accusing Lin Yueqi of “bad behavior”, “abusing Tuantuan”, and “Tuantuan is a bastard”, were all shattered.
Even though Lu Ting never made a public appearance, he was, after all, Lu Guohua’s grandson, as well as the new CEO of the Qiancheng Group. Just his elite and powerful status in the industry alone was enough to inspire envy.
After the keyboard warriors saw all the slanderous material on Lin Yueqi being cleansed, they began throwing salt around again.
“Hah, Lu Guohua himself doesn’t look like much. Just look at how fat that little girl is, I bet Lu Tung is also a fatty LOLOLOL. Think about it, Lin Yueqi is married to a greasy fatty, isn’t that a hilarious image? Does that mean our Sister Lin has to sit on top and move on her own during the wedding night? After all, the greasy CEO can’t! even! move! Hahahaha…”
“Hahahaha comment above you’re so direct, are you trying to make me choke from laughing? You don’t even know how nice her life is after marrying rich hahahahaha.”
“First comment, you’re going overboard.”
The unpleasant comments kept popping up under Lin Yueqi and Lu Ting’s Weibos. This was Lu Ting’s very first experience of “internet violence”, and his face grew heavy at the sight of these remarks.
He had been studying overseas the past few years and was even placed in the group’s overseas department for training under a different identity. He experienced all sorts of hardships and had even been oppressed by his superiors, framed by his colleagues, and even been accused of being gay by his colleagues…
Even after all that training, it still didn’t feel good to see those comments. He didn’t care what others thought of him, but what bothered him was whether the woman who birthed his child could take all of this.
She was so frail, how could she withstand such verbal attacks?
Not only did Lin Yueqi word hard for the sake of their daughter all these years, she even had to endure all the slander coming in from all sides on her own. It was as if the words and punctuation marks typed out by those keyboard warriors were laced with poison, enough to take a life with one prick.
