Chapter 100 She Doesn't Care About the Scolding of Thousands
Qu Xiang had wanted to ask this question for a long time.
However, Shen Li and He Xun were talking about serious matters, so she didn't have a chance to speak.
At this moment, Shen Li suddenly brought this up, and Qu Xiang was so anxious that her eyes almost popped out of their sockets!
"Yes, Brother Xun, why are you here now?" Qu Xiang's eyes were full of worry, and she seemed a little anxious.
Qu Xiang's concerns were not unfounded. Given He Xun's current status, his every move was being closely watched, so there was absolutely no need for him to get involved in such matters.
If everything is calm and peaceful, that's fine, but if even the slightest clue is detected...
If He Xun gets dragged into the current media storm that Shen Li is about to be caught in, it will be troublesome.
Originally, it was just a dispute between husband and wife, and because of Song Xiaowan's previous affair with her husband, everyone was still quite sympathetic to Shen Li.
There were quite a few people on her side, even though public opinion quickly broke out that she had orchestrated this whole thing for the sake of the inheritance, just to kill Lu Yanchuan.
While there will be some unfavorable voices in public opinion, there will certainly be voices in her favor as well, so there shouldn't be any major problems.
But if it were to be revealed that a wealthy wife had an affair with a top male actor and orchestrated her husband's car accident to inherit a huge fortune...
Those voices that were originally on her side and in her favor may not be so so now.
So He Xun shouldn't have come, but he was too worried about Shen Li after hearing the news.
Moreover, it wouldn't matter if the person wasn't in Jiangcheng, but since they are in Jiangcheng, they still came no matter what.
He Xun frowned and stared at Shen Li. "I can't help it, I'm just too worried."
“I’m fine, don’t worry about me. You saw it yourself, I’m all safe and sound. Just to be on the safe side, you should go back with Qu Xiang to avoid any unforeseen complications,” Shen Li said.
He Xun had no objections and gently touched Chen Li's face. "Okay, then I'll go back first. Remember to tell me if anything happens, don't bear it all by yourself. Don't be afraid of anything."
He was no longer the helpless, hopeless boy he once was.
“Okay.” Shen Li nodded.
Qu Xiang: "Don't worry, I'll have a lawyer come over in a bit. He's very skilled, and with him around, no one will want to bully you."
"I'm fine, don't worry." Shen Li wasn't actually afraid.
She was only afraid that Lu Yanchuan would die; she wasn't afraid of anything else.
No matter what malicious speculations we face now, once Lu Yanchuan recovers, the truth will naturally come to light.
But if something really happens to Lu Yanchuan, all these malicious speculations from others are simply because they're afraid she'll take away some of Lu Yanchuan's assets.
To be honest, if that man really were to die...
It makes no sense for her to want his money.
Shen Li has never had any material desires. She has enough money to spend, and even if she were given more, it would mean nothing to her.
Therefore, Shen Li is now almost invincible because he has no desires, so he has nothing to be afraid of or worried about.
Before He Xun left, Shen Li only had one request: "Brother, if you find anything, you must tell me."
Shen Li looked calmly into He Xun's eyes, "I know you wanted to protect me before."
"But I'm not a child anymore, and I can accept many facts and possibilities."
Even under the current circumstances.
Even in her most vulnerable moments, she can still be strong.
He Xun did not refuse her, nodded, and then left with Qu Xiang.
But something unexpected still happened.
When He Xun and Qu Xiang left the hospital, they were photographed by paparazzi.
Just as Qu Xiang had worried, He Xun's status was too high, making him an easy target.
At such a critical juncture, with such double news, it's practically a media frenzy.
Less than an hour after He Xun and Qu Xiang left the hospital, the media releases were already out, and they were almost identical to the worst-case scenario that Qu Xiang had previously guessed.
Even if it's a feud between wealthy families, it shouldn't have escalated to such an extent.
But now that He Xun is involved, things are not so simple.
The buzz spread like wildfire, soaring to the top of the trending searches, with a huge "hot" tag following the title.
When Shen Li learned of this news, she was sitting with Zhou Yan at the entrance of the ICU.
Zhou Yan's expression was somewhat serious. Looking at the headline content, his brows furrowed, and he muttered in a low voice, "This is troublesome. How did we get involved with the movie star He Xun..."
Shen Li also saw the trending list on her phone and said in a low voice, "He learned about the car accident and came to the hospital to visit me. He was supported by my mother when he was young. After my mother passed away, he took good care of me and always regarded himself as an older brother. I have always treated him like my own brother."
But after saying that, Shen Li twitched the corner of her mouth, "But the media and netizens won't believe that, right?"
Zhou Yan nodded. "It's difficult."
"Madam, you must understand that people in this world are easily influenced by preconceived notions. Once they have come to believe a certain concept, it becomes very difficult to get them to accept other concepts."
"No matter how eloquently you try to explain yourself, it's all just sophistry."
While listening to Zhou Yan's words, Shen Li quickly browsed the general trend of netizens' comments on her phone.
Without even looking up, she said in a low voice, "It doesn't matter. I'm not a public figure, and I don't care what people say about me."
"For He Xun, such gossip is not a big stain. As long as celebrities in the industry, especially male celebrities, are not involved in illegal activities such as gambling, prostitution, and drugs, such gossip will not have much impact on them once the storm has passed."
Zhou Yan is not without a strategy; for news and public opinion like this, all she needs to do is divert the focus.
But seeing that Shen Li didn't seem to care, and that she even turned off her phone and casually put it aside, Zhou Yan didn't say anything.
"What should we do about Lu Yanchuan's situation now?" Shen Li asked Zhou Yan.
This is what worries her more: "Has a follow-up treatment plan been developed?"
Zhou Yan said, "I don't plan to let the doctors here come up with a treatment plan anymore. The doctors here are just being conservative and dragging it out. I don't know when they will completely ruin Mr. Lu's health."
“We’ve already contacted other teams to see if there are any other treatment options,” Zhou Yan said.
A glint appeared in Shen Li's eyes as she stared intently at Zhou Yan. "The other teams? When will they arrive?"
We've arrived!
A voice that usually sounds a bit silly because of its overly eccentric and straightforward nature sounds incredibly reassuring at this moment.
Shen Li looked up and saw several young men walking over and gathering in the family waiting area at the entrance of the ICU ward.
Xin Yang looked serious. Rong Hengyu and Liang Qian followed behind him, each holding a phone and making a call. They only raised an eyebrow at Shen Li.
They all look very busy, as if they are... solving problems.
