Chapter 88 Chapter 88 The situation is reversed. The two people's situation is completely reversed...

Looking at the comments defending him, Xu Qinghu still had a smile on his face. "Don't be angry with me, everyone. I'm doing well now and have no complaints about them. I just hope they can be happy too."

She looked calm, without any resentment in her eyes, as if everything that had happened had become a thing of the past.

But the more she did this, the more indignant netizens became.

[Why? Why are they living so well?]

[Xu Qinghu is really generous. If I were her, I would definitely sue them for abandonment.]

[After encountering so many problems, this couple is still pretending to be dead. It's really vicious.]

If Hulu were my daughter, I would definitely spoil her like a princess. It's a shame that she has to be bullied by the royal family even though she's participating in a dating show.

[Although they gave birth to Xu Qinghu, it does not affect the fact that they are worse than pigs and dogs.]

Seeing the public opinion intensify, Xu Qinghu remained silent for a moment, then seemed to reveal a hint of genuine vulnerability. "I know everyone feels sorry for me and thinks I shouldn't be treated like this, but..."

“I have to accept the fact that I am not that important.”

"Accepting a life where I'm not loved and valued isn't a weakness after enduring long periods of pain, but rather the driving force that propels me forward."

"It made me realize that the question of whether or not I'm loved isn't a mystery that will haunt me forever. I prefer who I am right now to who I am now, rather than trying to get others to like me."

The desire to be loved is lowly, like a beggar, humbly asking for it from the other person, as if only by getting a response from the other person can one achieve great happiness.

But she will never be inferior.

Her life has long ceased to be fulfilled by simply bowing her head.

[Gourd, woo woo…]

[Xu Qinghu, there's a reason why you've become so popular. As your fan, I can shed tears for you.]

[It’s amazing that I can still live a positive life despite the bad experiences I’ve had!]

[I feel so complicated. I've had a similar experience to Xu Qinghu, and I've been struggling with my family of origin for years. Seeing her like this, I suddenly feel so boring.]

Why dwell on your family of origin? The more you dwell on it, the more painful it will be. The real way out is to rebuild after the fall.

[There is no real empathy in the world, but seeing gourds like this, I am really happy for her.]

I was moved not only by Xu Qinghu's experience, but also by her attitude. She was calm and composed, without a hint of ambiguity. She accepted the imperfections of life, yet bravely and briskly moved forward. I loved this sense of freedom, unburdened by the past.

[I've changed from a hater to a fan. There's no way I don't like Xu Qinghu like this.]

[+1, Xu Qinghu, let's walk the flowery path together from now on! I also need to learn to reconcile with the past.]

The barrage of comments continued to roll, and this time it was no longer filled with negative questions and doubts, but a flourishing and flourishing scene.

The popularity of the live broadcast room reached a new high in a short period of time, approaching 20 million online users. Xu Qinghu's fans also continued to increase. In just half an hour, he added more than one million fans.

She can finally be seen by more people.

After answering a few more questions from the audience, the director signaled Xu Qinghu that it was time to end.

Xu Qinghu waved at the camera and smiled, "Although we're separated by the internet, I'm really happy to see so many positive comments. Thank you for believing in me."

After saying that, she stood up and bowed deeply to the camera. After a long while, she stood up, blinked her eyes and said, "That's all for today. I hope those netizens who don't know the truth will stop saying bad things about me. Otherwise, I will get angry and I won't let it go easily."

There was a hint of urgency in her eyes as she deliberately said, "Everyone knows my temper. When I'm right, I won't let anyone off the hook."

The comments were full of hahahaha, saying that if anyone attacked her again, they would fight for her.

Some people also kept mentioning Qiao Wanshu's name, asking Xu Qinghu if the Qiao family was about to go bankrupt, so they pushed her out to take the blame.

Xu Qinghu neither answered nor denied it. Some things would be counterproductive if explained openly.

[It must be the Qiao family. They wanted to use the gourd to change the subject, but the gourd slapped them in the face.]

[The Qiao family's eating habits are too ugly. They've turned against Qiao Wanshu fans.]

Qiao Wanshu is at most a poor girl. After joining the show, she not only boasts about Qiao in front of He Shengnian, but also treats Gu Jingchen like a lapdog. If you don't know her, you would think she is very noble.

It’s hard to comment on the Qiao family’s actions. Do they think netizens are so easily fooled?

[If Xu Qinghu had been a little more vulnerable, he would have been trampled to death by them.]

[I suspect the Qiao family was behind all that public opinion. This unscrupulous, black-hearted capital should go bankrupt immediately!]

After reading Xu Qinghu's response, Qiao Xicheng smashed the water cup on the desk to the ground. The moment the water splashed out, his expression became extremely gloomy.

He didn't expect that as things developed to this point, Xu Qinghu not only did not decline, but instead attracted a large number of fans, which directly put both him and the Qiao family in a difficult position. If this continues, let alone a turnaround, it will also accelerate the company's bankruptcy.

"Damn it." He stared at Xu Qinghu on the screen, his eyes narrowed immediately, "I underestimated you."

He originally wanted to gradually turn Xu Qinghu into Qiao Qiao's stepping stone, so that he could get himself and the Qiao family out of trouble and let netizens become a weapon to attack Xu Qinghu. However, he didn't expect that the development of the situation would be very different from what he imagined.

Every time when he thought his plan was about to succeed, Xu Qinghu would quickly stand up, making him increasingly restrained and forcing him to move from the dark to the light.

"You asked for it." Looking at the smile on Xu Qinghu's face, Qiao Xicheng leaned back in his chair and said with a smile in anger: "In that case, don't blame me for being cruel."

After saying that, he called his subordinates and asked them to release negative information about Xu Qinghu dumping her ex-boyfriend. The PR manager carefully dismissed the idea, saying, "Mr. Qiao, this isn't a good time. Netizens already suspect we're targeting Xu Qinghu. Releasing negative information now will likely fail to achieve the desired effect."

"When will that happen?" Qiao Xicheng was furious. "Are we going to let her be so proud forever?"

The public relations manager had a bitter look on his face. As early as after seeing the video in Qiao Xicheng's hand, his keen sixth sense made him realize that something was wrong. How could someone with a clear goal like Xu Qinghu date such a penniless boyfriend? He felt that there must be something hidden. He hoped that Qiao Xicheng could give him time to find out the true identity of Xu Qinghu's ex-boyfriend, otherwise this revelation would probably cause them great damage.

The company can no longer withstand such turmoil.

Qiao Xicheng felt that he was too cautious. "No matter how powerful she is, she is just an ordinary person. What big waves can she make?"

Seeing that he was determined to do so, the PR manager had no choice but to say, "Mr. Qiao, I will try my best to find the most appropriate time."

Qiao Xicheng lost his temper, but then calmed down a lot. "It has to be within these two days."

The PR manager agreed repeatedly, but was wondering in his heart when to reveal the news so that netizens would no longer doubt them.

If netizens had not uncovered Qiao Wanshu's identity, it wouldn't matter how much negative information they released. But now that Qiao Wanshu's identity has been exposed, every step forward must be more cautious, otherwise it will only fuel Xu Qinghu's arrogance and make it difficult for them to move forward.

Xu Qinghu came out of the room and happened to meet Qiao Wanshu who was coming downstairs. The other party probably already knew about her live broadcast response. For the first time, there was undisguised coldness in his eyes when he looked at her.

It seemed as if he regarded her as his mortal enemy.

Xu Qinghu nodded at her calmly and asked with concern, "Did you sleep well last night?"

She looked calm and composed, as if last night's public opinion had not left any mark on her heart, but Qiao Wanshu almost hated her.

The more indifferent Xu Qinghu was, the more she looked like a clown.

Her family is about to go bankrupt, she is a poor girl, she and the Qiao family are guiding public opinion behind the scenes, no matter which one is exposed to the public, she will feel ashamed.

The situation that Qiao Wanshu had imagined, where Xu Qinghu would be completely defeated, did not happen at all. She was still as beautiful and calm as ever, which made her resentment and anger seem particularly ridiculous.

Why did Xu Qinghu do that? She was so worldly and obviously couldn't compare to herself in anything. Why did she do that?

It was as if there was a bomb buried in her chest that was about to explode. No matter how hard she tried to endure it, she could not hide her disgust for Xu Qinghu.

It would be great if Xu Qinghu wasn’t there.

This thought popped up in her mind again: if Xu Qinghu didn't exist, would everything go smoothly?

But now she can only watch netizens judging and mocking her without saying a word.

"Not bad." She couldn't force a smile on her face, but just lowered her head as she passed by Xu Qinghu.

Compared to her former glory, the light around her seemed to have dimmed a lot, revealing her original true appearance.

Did you see the look in Qiao Wanshu's eyes? How terrifying! She was clearly the one harboring evil intentions, yet she actually blamed Xu Qinghu. How dare she?

[The young lady's defenses were broken. She thought Xu Qinghu was just a stepping stone, but she didn't expect Xu Qinghu to be so strong.]

[The royal family is the royal family. Even if they are down and out, they are unwilling to let go of their class airs.]

[How ridiculous! Does she still think she can suppress Xu Qinghu?]

[With such a noble status, why would you participate in a dating variety show?]

Although there had been many doubts about Qiao Wanshu before, there had never been so much sarcasm and ridicule. The focus of public opinion quickly shifted from Xu Qinghu to her.

Qiao Wanshu obviously didn't understand his current situation.

A charming and alluring persona is certainly desirable, but it needs to be based on the favor of the opposite sex and sufficient personal charm. Once you fall from the altar, you will inevitably suffer backlash.

All the dividends you have earned must be repaid several times over.

And what kind of personality do you have?

Xu Qinghu thought, isn't the image of a positive, optimistic, and hardworking person more solid than the image of a popular charmer? As long as she is alive, this image will never collapse.

The audience will never associate her with the dark and vicious female supporting character in the novel.

Only in this way can she walk more steadily and further.

Xu Qinghu didn't care about Qiao Wanshu's indifference. She walked into the living room and met He Shengnian's gaze. He looked at her quietly, as if he had been looking at her for a long time.

"Good morning," Xu Qinghu smiled at him and asked the same question, "Did you sleep well last night?"

Looking at her bright and beautiful smile, He Shengnian's eyes dimmed slightly, and he said lightly: "Not bad."

Others came down one after another, and when they saw Xu Qinghu and Qiao Wanshu, their expressions changed. The internet was in an uproar, and it was hard for them not to know about it.

I just didn't expect Qiao Wanshu to compete with Xu Qinghu, and I felt very complicated for a while.

The one who felt the most uncomfortable was Gu Jingchen. He didn't know Qiao Wanshu's specific family background, but he judged from her temperament and dress that she was of noble birth and was the best-off female guest in the house. However, he didn't know that Qiao Wanshu's family was about to go bankrupt.

Then what about his previous deliberate flattery?

If he had known this was the situation, he would never have associated with her.

Although a lean camel is bigger than a horse, the situation of the Qiao family is not optimistic. After the company goes bankrupt, Qiao Wanshu may live worse than an ordinary person.

The qualities that attracted him in the past were all wiped out overnight, so when he looked at Qiao Wanshu again, he no longer had the previous enthusiasm, only a bone-chilling coldness.

Wasn't it because she was eager for quick success and had ulterior motives when she approached Du Yanting and He Shengnian? Yet, when it came to her, she acted so superior.

The moment the filter was broken, Gu Jingchen was upset that he had bet on the wrong treasure, and he regretted even more that he had not been able to get along well with Xu Qinghu before.

When Xu Qinghu came to the cabin, he was obviously the person he liked the most, but because of Qiao Wanshu's presence, he missed the best opportunity.

Thinking of this, Gu Jingchen had to be thankful that he had hinted to the audience on the day of the ski date that he was going to give up on Qiao Wanshu. Otherwise, if he changed his mind, he would probably be judged by the audience.

"Hulu, are you okay?" Ruan Xiaoyu walked quickly to Xu Qinghu, raised her hand to hold Xu Qinghu's arm, and showed her preference with practical actions.

She was not familiar with Qiao Wanshu, so of course she supported Xu Qinghu.

Zhong Zining looked at Qiao Wanshu with complicated eyes. She didn't expect that this was her real purpose for participating in the dating variety show. She suddenly didn't know what to say.

Although she and Qiao Wanshu were just friends, she would not take advantage of someone's misfortune at this time.

But he was extremely afraid of Qiao Wanshu's forbearance and scheming. If her schemes really succeeded, Xu Qinghu would probably have become a rat that everyone wanted to kill.

Such foresight was like a man-eating shark lurking in the water, which made her extremely scared.

If she had been chosen by her, and without the irrefutable evidence like Xu Qinghu's, would she have been killed long ago?

Thinking of this, she didn't even dare to get close to Qiao Wanshu.

The atmosphere in the living room was a bit awkward. No one took the initiative to talk to Qiao Wanshu, and their attitude towards her was no longer as friendly as before.

Until Du Yanting poked his head out of the kitchen and said with a smile: "What are you thinking about? It's your turn to cook with me today."

Qiao Wanshu suddenly woke up from his dream and walked into the kitchen.

"Hulu," Du Yanting turned his gaze and looked at Xu Qinghu and said, "Can you help carry the food to the restaurant?"

Xu Qinghu stood up and followed him into the kitchen.

"You were so busy yesterday, are your legs sore?" Du Yanting handed her the blended soy milk and asked with concern: "Are you tired?"

"Not bad." Xu Qinghu usually exercises a lot in the company and doesn't feel uncomfortable.

"That's good," Du Yanting looked at her with a smile: "Do you want me to take you to the company this morning? I think it's convenient for me."

After yesterday's contact, it became natural for him to turn around.

The kitchen space is not big. Du Yanting ignored Qiao Wan but paid special attention to Xu Qinghu, which formed a sharp contrast between the two.

[My old swan, has Du Yanting fallen in love with the gourd?]

[Xu Qinghu's performance yesterday was absolutely perfect. It's hard not to fall in love with her.]

[I thought Gu Jingchen would change his mind, but I never thought he would. It was too sudden.]

[That's normal, right? If Du Yanting had been dating Xu Qinghu before, he might have changed his mind long ago.]

[Looking at it this way, except for Gu Jingchen, everyone else in the room likes gourds. How dramatic.]

[Again, winning first doesn't count. Xu Qinghu is the biggest winner of this dating show. You can already imagine how popular she will be in the end.]

[Although, Qiao Qiao is too pitiful, he clearly liked her from the beginning, but in the end...]

[Upstairs, Qiao Wanshu's family is almost bankrupt. No matter how much you lick them, it won't help.]

[……]

"No need," Xu Qinghu shook his head, not agreeing with Du Yanting's idea. "It's more convenient for me to take the subway."

It was Du Yanting's own business whether he changed his mind or not, and she would not give him any face.

Even if it's just a casual act.
