Luo Xi managed to cheer herself up and said with a smile, "Mr. Tao, please."
The two walked into the elevator one after the other and stood side by side. Luo Xi's husband stood outside the elevator holding a thermos bucket, and explained with an embarrassed expression: "Xiao Xi, I actually--"
Luo Xi didn't wait for the man to finish his words and directly pressed the door closing button.
The enclosed elevator space was a little awkward for a moment. Luo Xi stared at the mirror-clear elevator door and apologized in a gentle voice: "I'm sorry for making Mr. Tao laugh at what happened just now."
Tao Mu knew that if something like this happened, Luo Xi, the person involved, would definitely be more embarrassed than himself. Hearing this, he just smiled and said, "Every family has its own problems. Mr. Luo, there's no need to take it to heart."
Hearing this, Luo Xi chuckled and said, "That's right, everyone has encountered a few scumbags when they were young."
Tao Mu was not easy to respond to this.
The atmosphere became quiet again. Luo Xi also felt that his sentiment was a bit rash. After all, her friendship with Tao Mu was far from enough to discuss private topics.
Luo Xi thought about it and turned the topic to Luo Yang: "...Actually, I also think it's a good thing that Dad sent Luo Yang to the army for some experience. Luo Yang has been spoiled by my parents since he was a child. He has a domineering temper and a confused mind, and he has made so many bad friends. I'm really worried that one day he will be instigated by someone to do something he shouldn't do, or offend someone he shouldn't offend, and implicate the Luo family."
Luo Xi also knew that Tao Mu and Luo Yang had a bad relationship. After all, with Tao Mu's cunning personality, it would be a blessing if Tao Mu didn't care about the bad things Luo Yang had done before. How could I possibly expect Tao Mu and Luo Yang to really become friends?
But then again, if Tao Mu and Luo Yang really had a good relationship, Luo Xi would not have been able to reach a cooperation with Tao Mu. After all, Tao Mu seemed to be profit-driven, but deep down he was very clear about gratitude and resentment.
Luo Xi was still thinking to herself when the two of them arrived at the door of Luo Yang's ward.
Luo Xi looked inside through the window and found that Luo Yang's left leg was in a plaster cast and was hanging at the end of the bed. The head of the bed was raised about forty-five centimeters. Luo Yang leaned against it comfortably, leaning his body to talk to the person sitting next to him who was peeling an apple for him. The person had a slender back, and when he turned his face slightly to the side, his delicate features were revealed.
Luo Xi's face darkened, and he pushed the door open, walked to the bed and asked, "Why are you here?"
Shen Yu was startled when he saw Luo Xi speaking harshly. He stood up subconsciously and explained awkwardly, "I, I will take care of Luo Yang."
"Can't our Luo family afford a nurse?" Luo Xi took a deep breath, and felt like her head was going to explode: "And you, didn't Dad tell you to stay away from people like that? If it weren't for him, would you have had your legs broken? How come you only care about eating and not being beaten?"
"Sister, don't say that about Xiaoyu." Luo Yang habitually felt guilty in front of Luo Xi, but he didn't want Luo Xi to misunderstand Shen Yu: "If something like this happens again, Xiaoyu can't be blamed. It's clearly the Lins who had ill intentions. Sister, you don't know, if I hadn't discovered it in time, Xiaoyu would have been..."
Luo Yang was too embarrassed to continue and could only curse fiercely: "Those people are nothing."
When Luo Yang came to this point, he couldn't help but ask, "Well, how is Dad now?"
"You still worry about our dad? If you really listen to dad, stop contacting those questionable people." Luo Xi glared at Luo Yang unhappily, and sneered, "You still think you are a hero saving the beauty, right? In the middle of the night, as a student, you don't stay in the school dormitory, but go to the entertainment club with those worthless people. I can only say that birds of a feather flock together."
Shen Yu's face changed, and he looked at Luo Xi with a pale face, his body shaky: "Sister Luo Xi, you misunderstood me. I am not the kind of person you said -"
"Don't call me sister." Luo Xi said with a half-smile, "I don't dare to be one. Besides, who you are has nothing to do with me. And, I remember that you and Yan Sheng haven't officially broken up yet, right? In this case, I hope you can keep your distance from my brother. My brother is stupid and impulsive. I don't want him to get involved in other people's feelings and become a third party."
Luo Yang blushed when his sister said that, and was embarrassed to admit that he did have intentions towards Shen Yu.
Shen Yuze was offended by Luo Xi's condescending attitude. She looked at Luo Yang with tears in her eyes, and when she saw Tao Mu standing behind Luo Xi from the corner of her eyes, she suddenly felt ashamed and embarrassed. He also remembered the lawyer's letter sent to him by Feixun.com.
"Seeing how miserable I am now, are you happy? I really don't understand why. I clearly regard you as a good friend, so why do you always make things difficult for me? And you have to add insult to injury when I am in trouble? Is it because my life is better than yours? Because we are both orphans, but I grew up in the Shen family, while you grew up in an orphanage, so you are jealous of me?"
When these words were spoken, both siblings Luo Xi and Luo Yang were shocked. I thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure out the logic here.
Although Luo Yang felt sorry for Shen Yu and even admired him, he did not want to offend Tao Mu. The key point is that Luo Yang really doesn't think Tao Mu is jealous of Shen Yu. On the contrary, Shen Yu always mentioned Tao Mu no matter what. Under the banner of everyone being friends, when something goes wrong they want to blackmail Tao Mu.
Although Luo Yang had a good impression of Shen Yu, he had to admit that Shen Yu was quite self-indulgent. It was obvious to all who was clinging to whom between him and Tao Mu and who was always trying to take advantage of the situation.
Tao Mu was too lazy to pay attention to Shen Yu, but he couldn't tolerate Shen Yu's slander of him: "Am I making things difficult for you, or are you making things difficult for me? Although you are a little stupid, you still have some self-awareness, right?"
Shen Yu's face changed.
Tao Mu continued, "We have known each other for a while, so I advise you to think before you speak and not to spread rumors. I don't know how many times the Shen family can help you, but I know that if you continue like this, you will probably receive a lot of lawyers' letters accusing you of spreading rumors."
The most crucial point is that there are really not many assets under Shen Yu’s name. If this continues, even if the lawyers win the case, I'm afraid they won't get much compensation. People come out to work just to make a living, and Tao Mu doesn't want other lawyers to work so hard only to end up not being able to collect even the most basic lawyer fees.
When Zhou Shenxing sent a lawyer's letter to Shen Yu, he specifically checked Shen Yu's assets. Only when he learned that Shen Yu had little money in his account did he try every means to make the Shen family pay for Shen Yu. I complained to Tao Mu afterwards. I even had a sudden thought that Shen Yu was just making up rumors because he felt he had no money. If others sued him, they wouldn't get much compensation, but if they didn't sue him, they would feel disgusted and unable to get over it.
"But fortunately, you have been banned by Optoelectronics. From now on, no media will report your words or deeds. At least it can be guaranteed that even if you spread rumors, they will not spread too widely, and you will not go to jail because you cannot pay compensation."
Tao Mu paused, and added realistically: "If you can survive this time."
"You are so vicious!" Shen Yu's mind got hot and he blurted out: "How could you do this to me?"
"Because I'm not your parents." Tao Mu said calmly, "I have no obligation to tolerate you always slandering me for no reason."
"I never thought of discrediting you." Shen Yu stared at Tao Mu with wide eyes, and denied without hesitation: "Isn't what I said true?"
"The conclusions drawn based on the chain of evidence are called facts. Speaking without thinking, or taking out of context some clues based on subjective conjecture, and then leading others to maliciously speculate, this practice is rumor-mongering." Luo Xi couldn't listen any more, and stood aside and echoed: "Mr. Tao is right. Shen Yu, you are already an adult. Since you are an adult, you should be responsible for your words and deeds. You have repeatedly spread rumors and made trouble without any evidence, trying to discredit Mr. Tao, which not only affected Mr. Tao's reputation, but also implicated Feixun.com's corporate image. If Feixun.com is a listed company, your behavior may even affect the decline of Feixun.com's stock price."
"Destroying someone's financial resources is like killing their parents. You grew up in the Shen family, so you can't be ignorant of such a simple truth, right?" Luo Xi sneered. She hates people who pretend to be confused the most. If someone spreads rumors about others, he is innocent; if someone sues him, he is malicious and insidious. This double standard is so natural. The key point is that there are confused admirers who are flattering her.
Thinking of this, Luo Xi glared at Luo Yang fiercely again and continued, "You don't have to act like you're wronged. If you really insist that what you said is true, you can explain it to the judge in court. As long as the judge agrees with your approach, you can win the case. At that time, not only will you not have to pay money or apologize, but you can use the result of the lawsuit to publicize that you are right."
"If you don't have the ability, then I advise you not to stay here and bother my brother. Buy a plane ticket and fly back to Shanghai as soon as possible, and beg the Shen family. Maybe the Shen family will be willing to help you pay the money because they have raised you for 19 years. Otherwise, you will really go to jail."
Shen Yu's eyes were slightly red, and he bit his lips with a wronged look. He was frightened by the consequences described by Luo Xi, but he still looked at Tao Mu stubbornly and asked in a trembling voice: "Are you really so heartless?"
A white lotus that has been growing in the greenhouse for many years was finally exposed to the violent storm. Its petals trembled and fluttered in the wind and rain, and its expression and behavior were truly heartwarming. Unfortunately, among the three people present, Tao Mu and Luo Xi were heartless, while Luo Yang, the only one who had sympathy for women, was too timid to speak.
In the end, Shen Yu could only leave crying.
Luo Yang, whose leg was still in a cast, called out to Shen Yu anxiously, but was stopped by Luo Xi.
"You can't even protect yourself, so just leave him alone." Luo Xi felt a headache when she thought of this: "You were jealous of Lin Rong'an from the Xiangcheng Lin family and beat a good man into a eunuch. Do you think the Lin family will let it go?"
Even if we take a step back, the Lin family would not dare to go too far and use any despicable means to retaliate against Luo Yang due to the influence of the Luo family in the capital. But Shen Yu is the culprit of their jealousy. Once he is caught by the Lin family, can the Lin family easily get around him?
So Luo Xi advised Shen Yu to buy a plane ticket back to Shanghai as soon as possible, also for Shen Yu's sake. Shanghai is the Shen family's territory, and the Shen family has at least raised Shen Yu. With their protection, the Lin family will probably not do anything too excessive.
Speak of the devil; he will appear. Luo Xi had just thought of the Lin family when the Lin family came to him.
