Chapter 136: The male protagonist is a scumbag and doesn’t know it (9)

The topic of Tao Rui breaking up with his family for love has sparked heated discussions online. Just as the Tao family thought, once this matter became known to the public, there would inevitably be some people who would indiscriminately accuse Tao Rui of being unfilial.

Especially since the details haven't been made public, the public is unaware of the Tao family's misdeeds. They only know that Tao Rui's internet celebrity girlfriend was materialistic, and Tao Rui strongly supported her, leading to the current situation. No matter how you look at it, it seems like he's just muddled and bewitched by the internet celebrity. After all, anyone who falls out with their family over a relationship is always blamed, isn't it?

Not only did the Tao family fail to suppress public opinion, they also secretly fanned the flames, allowing public opinion unfavorable to Tao Rui to spread widely.

They were so angry at Tao Rui that they almost vomited blood, and had no place to vent their anger. They had to vent their anger. Even though Tao Rui was once the only heir of the Tao family, he had now become an unfilial son who needed to be dealt with harshly.

Liu Nian followed the online comments and was indignant: [They are so unreasonable and shameless. They have been so high and mighty for so long. Who do they think they are? Just because they have a princess in their ancestry, they really think they are royal relatives?]

Tao Rui chuckled as he wrote code: "Why get mad at them? They're not my real parents. I'll just treat them the way they treat me. A few back and forths and they'll realize reality. No need to rush."

Tao Rui never took such things to heart. After all, he had experienced it many times before. His job was to complete the task well; the rest was not that important.

He also realized that this was a good opportunity, so he promised not to release the evidence. However, the other party kept moving his face closer to him, and there was no reason not to fight him.

When public opinion was at its hottest, he allowed Ling Jiaxuan to resume live streaming.

As soon as Ling Jiaxuan started broadcasting, the number of viewers increased sharply, and almost all of them asked her about Tao Rui and the Tao family.

Ling Jiaxuan was very protective of her children. When she saw everyone saying Tao Rui was unfilial and suggesting he talk things over with his parents, she couldn't help but retort, "Don't advise others to do good without first experiencing their own problems. Everyone should understand this basic principle of being a human being in this life, otherwise, sooner or later it will be your turn and you won't be able to laugh anymore."

I won't say much else. I've agreed to a private settlement, so I won't say anything more. But I do want to clarify one thing: Tao Rui, at the age of 28, moved out of his home to live on his own. He gave several properties to his parents and used the remaining assets to set up a fund that automatically transfers money to his parents every month, fulfilling his filial duty. So, kind-hearted people, are you actually giving your parents a generous monthly living allowance? I'm sure even a fool can guess how much Tao Rui has. It's much more than you imagine.

Don't blame me for being harsh. He genuinely wanted to be independent, giving all the money he'd earned over the years to his parents. But his project was shut down, and he was picked on by the relevant authorities. Now he has to start all over again, and it's a difficult situation. What right do you have to blame him? If you can, try to put yourself in his shoes. Tao Rui's polite way of handling things is already very gentlemanly."

Ling Jiaxuan recalled how Tao Rui had emphasized several times that it wasn't for her, and added, "Oh, by the way, Brother Rui taught me a lesson recently: you should always do things for yourself. Don't dwell on who else's interests. All the decisions Brother Rui makes are for himself. Even if he and his family do have conflicts, they're their own. Don't put the blame on me."

She covered her face and apologized, "I'm sorry, I was a little excited and might have said something inappropriate. I just said it without thinking. The truth is, the Brother Rui I know is really good, and he has already made concessions. I don't want anyone to misunderstand or blame him like this."

There were still all kinds of comments on the screen. Some said that no matter what, you can't fall out with your parents, some asked Ling Jiaxuan to tell the truth, and of course there were also people expressing support. Ling Jiaxuan looked at it, said nothing more, and turned to talk about her new song.

She smiled and said, "I wrote this song on the first day Rui Ge moved in. Let me tell you a secret, Rui Ge lives across the street now. He cooks delicious food. I can't think of anything he can't do well. He's absolutely perfect!"

That day he said he'd make me a candlelight dinner. Watching him busy in the kitchen, I suddenly felt a strong inspiration and wrote this song. I've been revising this song since I wasn't live streaming recently, and it's now recorded. I'm going to sing it for everyone now. My song will be online tonight at 6 o'clock. You can follow the link on my Weibo to listen then.

When Ling Jiaxuan talked about this song, all her previous bad mood disappeared, and a smile appeared on her face unconsciously. She picked up the guitar and began to sing with her heart for everyone.

There were many people posting angry comments criticizing her, as if they were seeking revenge for her earlier comments. But as the song started, the comments gradually died down.

This song is completely different in style from the songs Ling Jiaxuan wrote in the past. Every sentence is amazing. It’s the kind that makes you feel like pink bubbles popping up when you listen to her singing. It’s hard to say what’s so special or good about it, but it just gives people a sweet feeling of love!

Ling Jiaxuan's fans excitedly posted comments of "So nice, so nice!!" and all kinds of gifts were flying across the screen. The large number of onlookers in the live broadcast room had already shifted their attention and were asking for the song title and praising her for her beautiful singing.

Ling Jiaxuan happily interacted with them, and then sang two of her idols' new songs before ending the live broadcast.

It was her first appearance since the rumor-mongering scandal, and the livestream wasn't long, but packed with information. She rarely made the trending searches before, but as soon as the livestream ended, she was already trending.

There's no way around it. The combination of these keywords, internet celebrity, genius scientist, secrets of wealthy families, and breakup, has simply sparked everyone's curiosity.

As her best friend, Lin Shan of course watched the live broadcast. She immediately called Ling Jiaxuan, surprised and delighted, "Ling Xiaoxuan, you're incredible! You actually dared to confront netizens! Didn't you always swallow your anger and act like a fool when people scolded you? You even said you were afraid that retaliating would affect others' impressions of you. Why are you so tough this time?"

Ling Jiaxuan muttered, "Who told them to scold Tao Rui? Do you know how much Tao Rui has done? Even though he said it wasn't for me, I'm a vested interest. If he hadn't insisted, would his parents have apologized for bullying me? I might never hear their apology in my life. Ultimately, from beginning to end, Tao Rui just said that his family did something wrong and asked them to apologize, but he didn't do anything else. It was they who went too far, killing the project and severing ties. They did all the bad things, and in the end, Tao Rui has to bear the bad reputation? I can't stand it. Seeing those people talking without any worries makes me so angry!"

Lin Shan laughed out loud. "Oh my goodness, it's rare for you to say so much in one breath. It seems you really want to protect your husband. Honestly, if Tao Rui can change your awkward personality, I really admire him. I'd admit he's done something I can't do."

"Stop being so ridiculous! It's not that exaggerated." Ling Jiaxuan smiled. "Actually, I'm really nervous right now. The song is coming out in an hour. It's my first time, so I don't know how it will perform."

"No matter what the results are, it's a big improvement compared to before. You haven't released anything before. I have to admire Tao Rui again. He asked you to start the broadcast and release the song at this time. The timing is perfect. Look, you are already sixth on the trending search list. You can push it up again after releasing a song later. It's amazing! If I didn't know he was a scientist, I would have thought he was in the entertainment industry." Lin Shan noticed that the topic was twice as hot as before and hurriedly said, "Hurry and take a look at everyone's comments. Your style has changed a lot today. See what everyone is saying. I think if there are not too many negative comments, you can stick to this style in the future. Just be your straightforward self and don't hold back if you have something to say."

The two sisters were on a video call, chatting and analyzing while scrolling through the comments. Ling Jiaxuan didn't have a team, so she usually discussed things with Lin Shan. But now they have an ally, Tao Rui. When they have an idea, they will ask Tao Rui for his opinion because they think Tao Rui is really a good thinker.

It seemed like every decision he made was right, except for the time when Ling Jiaxuan had been wronged. Lin Shan analyzed the situation for Ling Jiaxuan, thinking that it was probably because they had just started dating and their relationship wasn't that deep. Another reason was that Tao Rui himself might be struggling. After all, not everyone would speak out if they discovered their parents were bad, and asking them to apologize took a lot of courage.

So now that she knows the inside story, Lin Shan has a greatly changed opinion of Tao Rui and is happy to see their relationship.

An hour later, Ling Jiaxuan's new song "Excess Sugar" was released, and due to the hot search, the number of plays soared.

Good things always have a market. Even if people don't know the singer, a good song will be widely sung, not to mention that the singer is so popular. Thanks to the blessing of the new song, Ling Jiaxuan's hot search has rushed into the top three.

Then this trending search fed back, allowing more passers-by to know and listen to this song. Ling Jiaxuan's first song, which she wrote and composed independently and sang herself, became so popular!

There are posts on many forums mentioning this song, and they all start with "Have you heard of Sugar Excess? It's so sweet..."

At the same time, because of this popularity, the secrets of the Tao family have also attracted the attention of more people. Everyone is amazed. They have only heard of couples being kicked out of the house after divorce, so how come Tao Rui had a falling out with his family and was kicked out of the house?

This is a first-tier city. Not to mention how much wealth he has, just the multiple properties he gave to his parents are more than anyone could ever earn in their lifetimes! And from what Ling Jiaxuan said, the Tao family is in the wrong?

So how is Tao Rui's behavior unfilial? He's the epitome of filial piety, alright? He's already exceeding his responsibilities and obligations as a son. At most, he's disobeying his parents. But in today's society, how many people still obey their parents? Listen to what's right, and don't obey what's wrong.

Everyone connected the causes and consequences and made various guesses. Netizens could find any clue they wanted to find. Someone even dug out the gossip that Liu Nian had posted online before!

"Someone was rumored to be breaking up due to materialism. It's suspected that the man's parents hired an army of trolls to spread the smear campaign, and they had previously been secretly doing many things to break up the couple. The inside story is shocking. Just how despicable are these elegant parents, and how many shameful things have their entire family done!"

The message was short and didn't even have a follow-up, it just disappeared. But in light of a series of recent events, netizens immediately identified the Tao family as the cause, and everything made sense!

Unable to accept the shady ways of his parents, Tao Rui moved out. The situation became increasingly strained, with the Tao family pressuring him to kill his project. He simply left the house as a way of repaying the family's kindness. However, the family angrily expelled him, marking a complete rift between the two families.

What a great show, even more exciting than a TV drama.

Even without any evidence or solid evidence, netizens have already imagined the entire process of ups and downs.

The Tao family, realizing the situation was taking an unforeseen turn, immediately invested in trending searches to suppress the buzz. However, the internet has a memory, and the Tao family's affairs have become widely circulated gossip. There's no definitive proof of truth, but the public is more inclined to believe it's all true.

No matter how the Tao family handles it, in the minds of netizens, the Tao family's good reputation is gone. Even because they are an elegant family, with pianists, writers, and painters gathered together, the collapse of their image in private makes people more willing to believe and talk about it.

On the contrary, no one criticized Tao Rui anymore.

The Tao family thought they were superior, but ended up losing more than they gained. Old Master Tao was so angry that he smashed his favorite porcelain, and the entire Tao family was shrouded in a cloud of gloom.
