Chapter 122 - 122: Livestream
“Then how do you plan to deal with all this?” Ling Jin asked Pei Xin after thinking this through. “You can’t even go to work now. I heard that protestors are blocking your way downstairs.”
Pei Xin smiled. “Don’t worry. I’m not alone anymore. I have my boss behind me. Lu Huai is my business partner. They both are working on it.”
Seeing Pei Xin’s confident and calm expression, Ling Jin felt slightly relieved.
Then, Pei Xin advised Ling Jin to go to work. Since she didn’t have to go to work, she could pick Ling Lin up from school every day.
After Ling Jin left, Li Ze sent Pei Xin a video call.
Pei Xin picked it up.
Li Ze and Jiang Yan were on the other end of the video call.
Before Li Ze could say anything, Jiang Yan took the lead and asked, “Pei Xin, don’t mind what’s being said about you online. I’ve already sent people to investigate the truth of what happened back then. I’ll bring you justice.”
“Thank you, Jiang Yan. I’m investigating this matter too. Don’t worry.”
Li Ze said, “There’s a troll army deliberately smearing your name. I’ve already gotten the company and lawyers to investigate who hired them. This is a conspiracy against you. What you need to do now is to calm down and not be upset by the public opinion.”
Pei Xin nodded.
“I know. The other party wants to expose fake news about me online. I’m not afraid. It’s the best counterattack.
“If I commit suicide because I can’t handle the pressure, then the worst that would like the fall would be my brother and my son. 1 can’t let the two of them stay in the world to suffer.
“This time, I will be strong and fight against those forces that are trying to destroy me.”
Hearing Pei Xin’s words, Li Ze and Jiang Yan smiled in relief.
“You are indeed different from before,” Li Ze said emotionally. “When you first came to Sea City Base, you were as timid as a mouse. Now, your eyes are shining with hope. 1 can see the change in you, and I’m happy for you.”
“Of course, it’s because we’re supporting Pei Xin. She isn’t alone anymore. She doesn’t need to be afraid,” Jiang Yan said bluntly.
“That’s right,” Pei Xin replied with a smile.
After talking to the two of them for a while, Pei Xin hung up.
That afternoon, she put on a mask and a hat and brought Ling Lin home.
Pei Xin realized that Ling Lin looked a little depressed today.
“What’s wrong, baby? Did someone bully you at school?” Pei Xin asked him.
Ling Lin lowered his head. “Someone threw a stone at me on purpose in school today. I asked him why, and he said you’re a bad person who stole someone else’s family. He also said that my father doesn’t want me because he thinks I’m dirty.”
Pei Xin’s heart ached.
She could withstand the insults thrown at her, but she did not expect Ling Lin to be attacked in school.
Pei Xin hugged Ling Lin and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Ling Lin. It’s all my fault. If people keep talking about you in school… Hmm, how about we have two days off from school?”
“You can go back to school after 1 deal with the online matters. Is that okay?”
However, Ling Lin shook his head firmly. “There’s no need. 1 already have friends now. I’m very happy that Chen Chen and the others are standing by my side to protect me.”
Pei Xin did not know what she should be feeling.
She was happy that Ling Lin had his friends now. Even though Ling Lin was being bullied, his friends still stayed by his side.
At the same time, she felt that she was not qualified as a mother. Ling Lin’s current situation was all because of someone like her.
To prevent Ling Lin from suffering too much verbal damage, Pei Xin eventually applied for a week of leave for Ling Lin.
The news about Pei Xin was getting more and more rampant. After three days of gossip, it had already covered most online news outlets. Almost everyone who frequently watched videos or read the news would know what was happening.
Ling Xue was very happy about this. She wanted to see Pei Xin be destroyed.
Lu Li and Pei Yu started their own business together. They have been very busy recently. After hearing the discussions of the company’s employees, they also learned about Pei Xin’s current situation..
