Luo Zhihan was by the waterside pavilion.
It was already autumn, and today he was unusually dressed in a moon-white Hanfu. Tall and elegant, with his clothes fluttering in the wind, he looked like a noble young master who had stepped out of a book.
Xie Li walked over: "Luo Zhihan, did you remove the trending topic on Weibo?"
The topic had clearly gained traction, but after refreshing the page for a while, she noticed something was wrong. The popularity was dropping, and there were also online trolls trying to control the comments.
Luo Zhihan looked down at her, "You know?"
He originally didn't want this malice to reach Xie Li.
However, seeing her calm expression, his slightly anxious heart calmed down, and he immediately chuckled.
"Lili, can you let me do something for you?" Luo Zhihan smiled gently. "I want to protect you from the wind and rain, and not let the storms outside hurt you in the slightest."
Xie Li blinked: "Oh, it's nothing. I don't care what those people are saying."
However, those rumors cannot be ignored. "Are you arranging for someone to clarify things? I will cooperate and refute them one by one."
None of those things were true in the first place, and she could even guess who was stirring things up behind the scenes.
I just feel a little sorry for Grandpa. He's still sick and has to suffer again.
To be honest, she was also a little angry. It was one thing to target her, but to force them to the Xie Group's official Weibo account was already damaging the Xie Group's interests.
Although this was a way to use the Xie family to force them to sever ties with her, it would definitely alarm Old Master Xie.
Perhaps Grandpa Xie is already furious by now.
As she suspected, when she called, Grandpa Xie's tone was a bit off, "Lili, why are you calling at this hour?"
He had just thrown a tantrum in the hospital room, and his tone hadn't changed yet.
Xie Li: "Grandpa, the Xie family doesn't need to worry about what's happening online for now. I'll handle it here."
Old Master Xie was taken aback, then his heart tightened; Xie Li knew everything.
After hanging up the phone, he looked up at Wang Zhian and said, "Why can't I acknowledge her as the eldest daughter of the Xie family?"
Wang Zhian adjusted his glasses and patiently explained, "It's not that we don't want you to acknowledge it, but it's inappropriate for the official Weibo account to issue a statement. At this point, public sentiment is already high. If we rashly issue such a statement, it would be directly going against the netizens, only adding fuel to the fire and doing nothing to help..."
"The board of directors will absolutely not agree to your request."
Wang Zhian refused to budge an inch; since it concerned the interests of the Xie Group, he could not back down.
Just then, his phone rang.
Wang Zhian glanced at the caller ID and added, "Sir wouldn't agree either."
The gentleman in question is Xie Sidu, the CEO of the Xie Group, who is currently expanding into overseas markets in Europe.
If Xie Li's biological parents don't agree to acknowledge him at this time, frankly, he thinks Grandpa Xie's insistence is somewhat ridiculous.

Meanwhile, Ding Huizhu was at the best hotel in Yuncheng, checking on the setup and menu.
When Aunt Wan came in to tell her about what happened online, she looked indifferent and said, "I'm busy right now, I'll talk to you later."
Actually, there's not much to do. The hotel manager has already noted down her requirements, and only minor adjustments are needed.
Ding Huizhu insisted on sitting down on the sofa and drinking a few sips of tea before asking Aunt Wan to bring her the phone to browse.
But as she read through the lines, Ding Huizhu's blood pressure rose again.
"Is there a problem with Xie Li's grades?" This was what surprised and worried her the most.
