"Yunlong, what are these netizens saying in the live stream?"
Half an hour ago, Su Yu had just touched up her makeup, so she wasn't afraid even if someone pointed a phone camera at her face.
After saying that, she struck a pose for the phone camera with great camera presence, originally intending to gain a wave of fans by taking advantage of this unexpected appearance.
Unexpectedly, nine out of ten of the comments flashing across the phone screen were subtly criticizing her.
"how so?"
Su Yu's smile froze slightly as she stared intently at the scrolling comments with her almond-shaped eyes, muttering to herself.
To eliminate negative public opinion, she spent a total of two million yuan on public relations to completely remove all the negative information from the internet.
In addition, she commissioned her former agent, Zhao Jingchun, to bribe a dozen influential Weibo accounts to upload photos of her participating in charity and public welfare activities over the years to the internet.
Logically speaking, she has already managed to both crack down on organized crime and whitewash her past, so the online abuse should have disappeared.
What baffled her was that the viewers in the live stream continued to relentlessly criticize her. While these comments didn't cause her any real harm, they were enough to make her depressed for quite some time.
At this moment, Ling Yunlong also realized the seriousness of the matter and was no longer as aggressive as before.
He sat back on the sofa with a worried expression, no longer caring about arguing with Ling Mo, only thinking about how to salvage his public image.
Eager to salvage her image as a refined lady, Ling Tian saw that Ling Mo hadn't closed his live stream yet, and a brilliant idea flashed through her mind. She started acting on her own.
"Sister, is it because I said something wrong that you're always targeting me? When that man who claimed to be our uncle came to the school looking for you, I was just worried that you would be deceived by him, and I was so anxious that I revealed his identity as a fraud in front of everyone. If I had known that he and you had a close relationship, I would never have dared to expose his false identity even if you killed me." Ling Tian said with tears in her eyes and her voice choked with sobs.
"My sister's tricks are really fancy. She accused me of slapping you first, then instigated someone to hire someone to hurt me, and now she wants to ruin my reputation and make me lose face?"
Ling Mo had anticipated that Ling Tian would bring up Qin Beiming, and calmly replied:
"That gentleman came to the school to find me in a hurry, and there was indeed a reason for it. He said that he happened to be there when the kidnappers broke into the men's restroom of the Emperor Hotel looking for someone. Not only that, he also overheard the kidnappers discussing why the mastermind was so determined to spend a lot of money to kidnap me. If you don't believe me, you can check the surveillance footage of the Emperor Hotel at any time to verify whether that gentleman was actually there on the day of the incident."
Upon hearing Ling Mo's words, Su Yu turned pale with fright and didn't dare to breathe.
She thought the matter should be put behind her now.
Unexpectedly, Ling Mo brought up the matter again at this critical juncture!
If this is exposed, even if she gambles her entire fortune, she probably still won't be able to clear her name...
“If things are really as you say, then why would the man lie and say he’s our uncle? Wouldn’t it have been better to just state his purpose openly?” Ling Tian was focused on completely ruining Ling Mo’s reputation and didn’t notice the look Su Yu was giving her.
"The reason that gentleman did this was probably because he was worried that busybodies like you would make trouble out of nothing," Ling Mo said calmly, maintaining an upright and honest demeanor throughout.
Ling Tian originally thought that by having caught Ling Mo in the act, she could easily humiliate him.
Unexpectedly, Ling Mo reacted so quickly, responding casually with a few words, successfully defusing a reputation crisis that seemed almost unsolvable.
This made her extremely unwilling, and she added sarcastically:
"Sister, you're so eloquent! You can even make black seem white."
"Enough!"
Ling Yunlong sternly stopped Ling Tian, rushed forward, and slapped her hard across the face.
"ah..."
Ling Tian was stunned. She screamed as she was slapped hard by Ling Yunlong and lay half-lying on the ground, unable to get up for a long time.
She bowed low, covering her burning cheek, her voice trembling with sobs, "Dad...you actually hit me?"
Ling Yunlong frowned deeply, feeling extremely distressed as he watched Ling Tian's tears fall like a broken string.
However, in order to salvage his positive social image and minimize the impact of public opinion on Ling Tian, he had no choice but to do this.
A moment later, he broke the eerie silence in the living room, rambling on and on about trivial matters:
“Xiaotian, Dad knows you are kind-hearted and would never instigate others to hurt Momo. Dad also wants to believe that you kept questioning that stranger who impersonated your uncle because you cared about your sister. The key issue is that Momo was indeed surrounded by thugs in the alley because of you. For this reason alone, you should apologize to her.”
Seeing Ling Yunlong speak in this way, Su Yu chimed in to support him:
"Little Sweetie, quickly apologize to your sister."
Ling Tianyu choked, feeling extremely unwilling.
Seeing that Su Yu kept giving her meaningful glances, she had no choice but to swallow her grievances and reluctantly walked up to Ling Mo, saying with great indignation, "I'm sorry."
"Yes. You really did wrong me."
After recording Ling Tian's disheveled appearance, Ling Mo finally closed the live stream and walked upstairs without looking back.
She knew perfectly well that the reason Ling Yunlong and Su Yu forced Ling Tian to apologize to her was mainly to quell the anger of the netizens in the live broadcast room.
On the surface, they were punishing her, but secretly they were protecting her.
However, Ling Mo was too lazy to bother with such trivial matters.
After all, this is just the beginning.
