Chapter 759 Torrents of Public Opinions and Pressure
Within one morning, the news that Xiao Yunyun fell in love with her brother and schemed to separate her brother and his girlfriend, Lin Zhixia, was like a bomb exploding on the sea, stirring up countless waves.
A few influencers with huge fan bases reposted and commented on it, purposefully misleading the public. Soon, the matter became a hot topic. If someone typed Xiao Yunyun into the search bar, the first candidate that showed up was: Xiao Yunyun, scheming (b*tch).
Overnight, Xiao Yunyun became an evil woman full of iniquities. The blogger who had exposed the story of her and Shen Yuechuan became a model of justice, dragging her into the public eye and letting her be judged by the netizens.
Looking at the increasing reading volume of the topic, Xiao Yunyun felt a chill down her spine.
She had long known that something like this would happen.
She had also decided long ago that she would calmly accept all the accusations and curses.
However, when those embarra.s.sing words came into her sight and attacked her, she still felt the deepest fear from the bottom of her heart.
When Shen Yuechuan woke up, he was surprised to find that Xiao Yunyun had her back to him.
In the past, the little girl would obediently lie in his arms.
Even if she woke up first, she would bury her face in his chest motionlessly. He could often see her graceful side profile as soon as he opened his eyes.
What happened today?
Shen Yuechuan reached out and held Xiao Yunyun’s shoulders. He felt her shoulders trembling without warning.
He realized that something was wrong. He turned Xiao Yunyun over to face him and looked at her with confusion and worry. “What’s wrong?”
Xiao Yunyun felt uneasy, and her eyelashes quivered. She subconsciously turned her mobile phone upside down on the bed. She wanted to lie to herself and say that she was fine, but she couldn’t help trembling.
She looked at Shen Yuechuan hesitantly and uneasily and couldn’t say a word for a long time.
Shen Yuechuan vaguely guessed something. He took Xiao Yunyun’s mobile phone and took a look. Sure enough, Kang Ruicheng had taken action—the story of him and Xiao Yunyun had been spread widely on the Internet.
At the moment, the netizens were targeting Xiao Yunyun.
Xiao Yunyun grabbed the phone and put it aside. She shook her head and said, “Don’t look at it.”
She didn’t want Shen Yuechuan to see others frame her with those disgusting and slanderous words, which could only make Shen Yuechuan feel more guilty.
However, even if Shen Yuechuan didn’t look at it, he knew how Kang Ruicheng would manipulate public opinion.
He held Xiao Yunyun in his arms and wrapped her tightly, as if he had made up his mind to protect her. He said softly, “Don’t be afraid. No one can find you if you stay here. I’ll take care of the rest.”
Xiao Yunyun, like a frightened child, curled up in Shen Yuechuan’s arms and nodded.
Shen Yuechuan kissed Xiao Yunyun’s forehead and said, “Don’t forget what you said: Let’s play to the score and face it together.”
Xiao Yunyun slowly buried her face in Shen Yuechuan’s chest. Listening to his heartbeat, she inexplicably felt a whiff of calming power, and the fluctuation and uneasiness inside her finally calmed down.
She raised her head and happened to meet Shen Yuechuan’s eyes. She also saw the firmness in the depth of his eyes.
She nodded and replied with a “mm” forcefully.
“Good girl.” Shen Yuechuan let go of Xiao Yunyun and tried to say with ease, “Get up. We have a lot of work ahead of us.”
He was right. As soon as they got up, his and Xiao Yunyun’s mobile phones kept ringing. Most of the calls were from strange numbers or media. They knew the purpose of these calls without thinking.
Shen Yuechuan had no time to reject them one by one. He asked helplessly, “Why don’t we turn off the phones? I still have a private number. Your cousin and cousin-in-law can contact me.”
“We don’t need to bother with that.” Having been injured for more than half a month, Xiao Yunyun was used to using her left hand. She flexibly turned on the airplane mode of her mobile phone and proudly tilted her head. “In this way, other people won’t be able to get through to me, and it won’t hinder me from playing with my mobile phone. That’s great!”
Shen Yuechuan smiled and learned Xiao Yunyun’s method. His phone, which had been ringing non-stop, finally quieted down.
However, in less than five minutes, his private number received continuous calls from Su Jian’an and Luo Xiaoxi.
It was obvious that Su Jian’an had known about the relationship between him and Xiao Yunyun. She just told him to take good care of Xiao Yunyun so that Xiao Yunyun wouldn’t overthink.
In contrast, Luo Xiaoxi was much more excited. It was rare that she didn’t know what to say for a long while. Finally, she asked, “How is Yunyun?”
Shen Yuechuan glanced at Xiao Yunyun and was about to answer when he saw Xiao Yunyun motioning for him to give her the phone.
“Cousin-in-law, it’s me.” Xiao Yunyun took the phone and said in a light voice, “Don’t worry, I’m all right.”
“How could you be all right when the matter has gone this far?” It was the first time for Luo Xiaoxi to be so restless. “Yunyun, you, you and Yuechuan… you…!!”
Initially, Xiao Yunyun was a little nervous, but when she knew Luo Xiaoxi’s reaction, she couldn’t help laughing. “Cousin-in-law, you’re pregnant. Don’t get excited. Let me tell you slowly.”
“No need. Jian’an and I have already guessed it!” Luo Xiaoxi gritted her teeth. “You d.a.m.n girl, how could you hide it from us for so long?”
“I’ve always liked Shen Yuechuan,” Xiao Yunyun said aggrievedly, “I was going to risk everything and force Shen Yuechuan to confess his love to me, but I suddenly found out that he was my brother. I don’t know how to tell you…”
With this, Xiao Yunyun’s voice became low. “Cousin-in-law, there was a period that I envied you and my female cousin. The person she likes happens to like her, and you can say loudly that you like my cousin. During that time, I could only live on the dream of being a doctor.”
Luo Xiaoxi suddenly calmed down and fell into silence.
During those years when she had been chasing after Su Yicheng, she had once fallen into sheer despair and felt that there was no hope between her and Su Yicheng.
Therefore, she knew the sadness that Xiao Yunyun was unable to be with the person she loved.
“Yunyun, don’t worry.” It was rare for Luo Xiaoxi’s voice to be so gentle. “Jian’an and I will help you.”
“I know I’ve made a mistake for which I am not qualified to be forgiven,” Xiao Yunyun smiled and added easily, “no matter what happens next, I should bear the consequences. You don’t have to worry. I won’t do anything stupid with Shen Yuechuan accompanying me now.”
“…” Luo Xiaoxi had to sigh with emotion at the magical power of love. At the same time, she was utterly relieved.
Indeed, no matter what happened, as long as the person one loved was by his side, he would have the power to fight against everything.
After hanging up, Xiao Yunyun refreshed the news.
The major media all followed up to report about the story of her and Shen Yuechuan, but perhaps because of the pressure from Lu Enterprises and Cheng An Group, the reports of official media were very conservative and repeatedly stressed in every word that at present, the people involved had not responded to this issue, and everything was still uncertain. They hoped that everyone could stay rational.
But it was also because of the official media’s ambiguous att.i.tude that the netizens became angrier.
The blogger who had exposed the relationship between Shen Yuechuan and Xiao Yunyun had once again released a piece of news to accuse Xiao Yunyun of relying on the power behind her.
The blogger also emphasized that Xiao Yunyun had relied on Lu Enterprises to push Lin Zhixia to h.e.l.l. Now her scandal had been exposed, and she was relying on the power of Lu Enterprises to put pressure on the media, trying to make the authoritative media keep quiet and help her to clear her name—she was flagrantly throwing weight around. She was simply shameless!
The three words “throw weight around” aroused the public anger of the netizens. They gathered a powerful force to attack Xiao Yunyun.
Some people doubted Xiao Yunyun’s mental health and thought that she either was a pervert or had some kind of perverted hobby for she actually liked her brother.
Some people said that it was good that Xiao Yunyun’s right hand was disabled. She was a scheming b*tch, but she pretended to be a pure woman to trap Lin Zhixia. With such a dark mind, she would not be a good doctor in the future.
Some people said that the car accident should just be a trick that was out of Xiao Yunyun’s control. It was G.o.d’s retribution for her right hand being disabled.
After the “red packet incident” was reversed, everyone thought that Xiao Yunyun was the victim.
However, after the fact that she liked her brother was exposed, Xiao Yunyun became an even more detestable person than Lin Zhixia.
Some people sympathized with Lin Zhixia for she met an opponent who was more scheming than her.
Some people defended her against the injustice and said that Xiao Yunyun hid her true colors so well. Maybe she was the one who directed the red packet incident to frame Lin Zhixia.
The netizens were spreading erroneous rumors. In just half a day, Xiao Yunyun’s image was completely turned upside down, and she became an unforgivable sinner through the ages.
In the afternoon, new news broke.
A folk gossip reporter secretly visited the hospital where Xiao Yunyun used to work and found out a shocking secret from Xiao Yunyun’s colleagues.
The folk gossip reporter revealed that Xiao Yunyun’s colleagues had seen Shen Yuechuan before and thought that he was Xiao Yunyun’s boyfriend. Later, Xiao Yunyun was suddenly with a silver-spoon man, and they were too embarra.s.sed to ask more. Until a while ago, Xiao Yunyun suddenly said that Shen Yuechuan was her brother, and she did admit that Lin Zhixia was Shen Yuechuan’s girlfriend in person.
The reporter concluded that the news that the blogger had exposed was true. Shen Yuechuan and Xiao Yunyun had always been ambiguous, but for some reason, they ended up being with other people.
Some netizens speculated that Lin Zhixia and Xiao Yunyun used the silver-spoon man to cover up their disgusting feelings. But later, Xiao Yunyun was jealous and didn’t hesitate to use the power of Lu Enterprises to completely destroy Lin Zhixia. She dumped the silver-spoon man and had an affair with her brother.
This dark speculation was approved by most people, and the netizens scolded Xiao Yunyun even more. The major official media also followed to report this matter.
In the past day, the reading volume of the topic was close to 100 million, and the phones of the public relations departments of Lu Enterprises and Cheng An Group rang off the hook.
Shen Yuechuan and Xiao Yunyun chose not to respond.
In the end, someone repeated the same trick to announce Xiao Yunyun’s information on the Internet. Learning that Xiao Yunyun was taken away by Shen Yuechuan after leaving the hospital, some people speculated that Xiao Yunyun must be at Shen Yuechuan’s house.
Before someone revealed Shen Yuechuan’s address, Lu Enterprises announced that anyone who dared to reveal the privacy of its employees would be sued.
After all, the deterrence of Lu Enterprises could not be slighted. In addition, Lu Boyan deliberately protected Shen Yuechuan’s information, so his address was not announced in the end.
However, in other people’s eyes, Shen Yuechuan and Xiao Yunyun must have been guilty. They concluded that they might have done everything.
The style of the comments suddenly changed, and there was a flood of foul words on the screen. Someone directly asked Xiao Yunyun if she had a good time having s.e.x with her brother.
Xiao Yunyun had already been mentally prepared, but when she saw such a naked question, her face turned pale all of a sudden…
