Chapter 39: Liang Tian Took a Beating
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
"Yun Long, what did these netizens say in the live stream?"
Half an hour ago, Su Yu had just touched up her makeup. Now, even if there was a camera, she wasn't afraid.
After saying that, she looked at the camera and posed. She had originally planned to use this opportunity to gain some fans with her beauty.
Unexpectedly, among the chat messages that kept flashing on the phone screen, nine out of ten were criticizing her.
"How could this be?"
Su Yu's smile stiffened slightly. She stared at the messages with her triangular eyes and muttered softly.
In order to eliminate the negative public opinion, she had spent a total of two million public relations fees to remove all the dirt on the Internet.
In addition, she also entrusted her former manager, Zhao Jingchun, to bribe a dozen or so influential Weibo users to upload the photos that she had captured during her charity activities over the years.
Logically speaking, she had already done everything to clean up the dirt, and the abuse on the Internet should have disappeared.
However, what puzzled her was that the netizens in the live stream were still chasing after her and firing shots at her. Although these comments could not cause her any real harm, it was enough for her to be depressed for a while.
At this moment, Ling Yunlong also realized the seriousness of the matter and was no longer as aggressive as before.
He sat back on the sofa with a frown on his face. He did not have the time to argue with Ling Mo anymore. He was only thinking about how to restore his image in the eyes of the public.
Ling Tian, who was also anxious to salvage her image as a lady and socialite, saw that Ling Mo hadn't turned off her live stream. A thought flashed through her mind and she started to act on her own.
"Sister, are you always targeting me because I said something wrong? When that man who lied about being our uncle came to look for you in school, I was purely worried that you would be deceived by him and was in a hurry to expose him in front of everyone. If I had known that he had a close relationship with you, I wouldn't have dared to expose his fake identity even if I was beaten to death." Ling Tian's eyes were full of tears, she said with a choked voice.
"You really have a lot of tricks up your sleeve. You accused me of slapping you, incited others to hire assassins to hurt me, and now you want to ruin my reputation?"
Ling Mo had long expected that Ling Tian would use Qin Beiming as an excuse. She replied unhurriedly, "That gentleman came to the school in a hurry to look for me for a reason. He said that he happened to be present when the kidnappers broke into the men's washroom of Dihuang Hotel. Not only that, he also heard the kidnappers discussing the reason why the mastermind insisted on spending a large sum of money to kidnap me. If you don't believe me, you can access the surveillance cameras of Dihuang Hotel at any time to verify that the gentleman actually appeared on the day of the incident."
Su Yu's face turned ashen when she heard Ling Mo's words. She did not even dare to breathe loudly.
She had originally thought that she could move on from this matter.
She did not expect Ling Mo to bring up this matter at this juncture!
If this matter was exposed, she would not be able to clear her name even if she used all her assets...
"If the matter is really as you say, then why did that man lie about being our uncle? Can't he just state his intentions openly?" Ling Tian was focused on completely destroying Ling Mo's reputation, she completely did not notice Su Yu looking at her.
"The reason why that gentleman did this should be because he was worried that a busybody like you would create trouble by making wild guesses." Ling Mo's expression was calm. She maintained a calm and righteous look.
Ling Tian originally thought that once she had something on Ling Mo, she would be able to crush her.
She did not expect Ling Mo's reaction to be so quick. She had responded with a few simple sentences and successfully resolved an almost unsolvable reputation crisis.
This made her extremely annoyed. She added sarcastically, "Big sister is really eloquent. You can even turn black into white."
"Enough!"
Ling Yunlong sternly stopped Ling Tian. He suddenly rushed forward and gave her a hard slap.
"Ah..."
Ling Tian's face was full of shock. She was so shocked by Ling Yunlong's firm slap that she could not even scream. She was half-lying on the ground and could not get up for a long time.
She bent down and covered her burning cheeks. Her voice was filled with tears. "Dad... you actually hit me?"
Ling Yunlong's brows were knitted together. He looked at Ling Tian's tears that flowed down like a broken thread and felt extremely uncomfortable.
However, in order to restore his good social image and minimize the impact of public opinion on Ling Tian, he had no choice but to do this.
A moment later, he was the first to break the strange silence in the living room. He avoided the main point and said a bunch of nonsense,
"Xiao Tian, I know that you are kind-hearted and would never encourage others to hurt Mo Mo. I am also willing to believe that you are only asking that strange man who pretended to be your uncle because you care about your sister. The crux of the problem is that Mo Mo was indeed surrounded by hooligans because of you. Based on this, you should apologize to her."
When Su Yu heard Ling Yunlong's words, she immediately chimed in, "Little Tian, quickly apologize to your sister."
Ling Tian choked on her words and was extremely unwilling.
However, when she saw Su Yu give her a look, she could only swallow the grievance in her stomach. She walked unwillingly to Ling Mo and said unwillingly, "I'm sorry."
"Yes, you should."
After recording Ling Tian's embarrassed look, Ling Mo finally turned off the live stream and walked upstairs without looking back.
She knew very well that Ling Yunlong and Su Yu forced Ling Tian to apologize to her mainly to appease the anger of the netizens.
They were punishing her on the surface, but they were secretly protecting her.
However, Ling Mo was too lazy to care about these small details.
After all, this was only the beginning.
