"Members of the Qin Family Publicly Declare Their Feelings: Tears Provoked, but Are These Real or Just a Show?" Headlines like this appeared in numerous newspapers and reports. And while they seemed not to jump to conclusions, they had already planted seeds of doubt in the hearts of all readers and viewers. Trust is fragile, and once doubt is sown, people tend to think the worst, and for the Qin family, turning the situation around was now absolutely impossible.
This just goes to show the significance of media and public opinion—it's often said that the media is the tongue of society, and indeed, its influence is evident here.
"The Su family has gone too far!

In his eyes, the Su's were the real culprits, with Qin Jiran being little more than an excuse.
