Xia Ling understood what he meant.
Suddenly, Xia Ling’s chest tightened and looked at Li Lei subconsciously. Unexpectedly, her eyes met his deep and quiet eyes. Under the shade of the trees, his expression was mysterious. He looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated.
The child did not the feelings of love and loss. He bounced away to play with the other children.
Xia Ling turned around and was about to leave, but Li Lei stopped her. “Xiao Ling, I don’t expect you to forgive me so soon, but can you please give me another chance to chase after you and make up for what I’ve done?”
Makeup?
With Su Tang there, it would never be possible.
Suddenly, she felt a wave of sadness. Oh, Li Lei, you still don’t get understand. Do you know what a woman really wants? Money? Power? These things were actually not important. The only important thing was having someone willing to stay by her side forever. This was the simplest luxury in the world.
She turned around and left.
The rest of the banquet continued smoothly. When it ended, Shaohui made many friends like what he wanted. Everyone agreed to meet again to play with one another next time before reluctantly saying goodbye.
Looking at Shaohui’s happy smile, Xia Ling felt that all of her hard work was worth it.
However, just as she thought that the next few days would be calm and peaceful, unexpectedly, she saw the headlines of the news the next day. “During the garden banquet, the small host Ye Shaohui and guest Li Rui had a conflict. After that, he commanded the children to ostracize Li Rui?!” It was a sensational headline that attracted countless readers.
In the article, there were two pictures. In one picture, Shaohui was holding a water gun and sprayed Li Rui with water while a group of children stood in front of Shaohui indifferently. In the other picture, Shaohui was pinning Li Rui to the ground and Li Rui had blood on his face. The text was very out of context. Shaohui was portrayed to be a small bully while Li Rui was the one who suffered grievances.
Xia Ling was furious after reading it. Wasn’t this a false account of the true facts?!
The discussion below made her even angrier. Many online viewers who did not know the truth said, “Children who have no parents are like that. Why is this Shaohui so uneducated? He is really capable of anything.”
They were dragging Shaohui down and cursing him.
There was also another part of the comments which was sympathizing with Li Rui.
Xia Ling could not stand it any longer. She called Lin Yunan over. “Why is this report so full of rubbish? Quickly think of something to deal with it.”
Lin Yunan had also read the report and sneered. “That group of reporters really doesn’t think that the commotion is big enough. However, it’s too obvious who the public is supporting. I suspect that someone is pulling strings and trying to besmirch your and Shaohui’s name.”
Startled, Xia Ling asked, “Who? What benefits do they have for doing this?”
“Benefits? There are so many!” Lin Yunan sneered. “For example, to make you fall out with Li Lei because of your child or to let the public think that you did not educate your child well enough and that you’re not suitable as a mother. Thus, you aren’t worthy of reviving your romance with Li Lei.”
Xia Ling was shocked. “Su Tang?”
“Well, it seems that you’ve learned something in these years at least. You aren’t that stupid now.” Lin Yunan said.
“I can’t believe she actually used my child. That’s so scary.” Xia Ling murmured angrily. In the entertainment industry, she was prepared to be criticized by anyone, but Shaohui was different. What right did they have to drag a small child into the messy world of adults?
They could drag her down.
But she would never allow them to do that to her child!
Xia Ling’s face turned cold. “I want to fight back.”
“Fight back? How to fight back?” Lin Yunan asked.
“There were so many influential people present and so many eyes that were looking. They all know the truth.” Xia Ling said.
“Haha.” Lin Yunan laughed.
“What do you mean?” Xia Ling was very irritable.
Lin Yunan leaned over and entered several keywords on her computer to search for a few news articles. “Look, these are the so-called testimonies given by the celebrities.”
Xia Ling took a look at it. Recently, several influential figures who were interviewed agreed without hesitation. “They would not comment on the differences among the children.”
“How... how could this be?” Xia Ling was very unhappy.
Lin Yunan laughed again. “Miss Ye, no doubt you’re rich now, but what about Mr. Li? I’m afraid that he’s much richer and more powerful than you. There are rumors that he had just dealt with Li Feng overseas and is now the first heir to the Li Family. Do you know what this means? This means that if you touch him, they can kill you and crush most of the people there like ants.”
In this sort of situation, how could she expect those celebrities to speak up for her?
Anyone that could rise in the social ranks was smart and knew that it was not worth it to offend Li Lei to help her.
Xia Ling also finally understood the complex situation and gritted her teeth. “I should have driven him out from the very start!”
“It’s too late for that now.” Lin Yunan said lazily. “I advise you to go home to look after Shaohui. Don’t let him be affected by public opinion.”
“I want to stop the public opinion!” Xia Ling said.
“I suggest you wait.” Lin Yunan responded lazily.
“Why?” Xia Ling felt that she could not wait to unleash her fury. “How can we wait? We can’t let them hurt Shaohui!”
“Don’t you like Li Lei?” Lin Yunan said, “You should seize this opportunity to see what he does and think about whether you still want to get back with him.”
“Who said I liked him?” Xia Ling rebuked fiercely. Even though she did have some feelings left for him, after the incident with Shaohui, everything disappeared without a trace. She wanted to scream. “He’s a piece of sh*t! I will never ever get back together with him even if I’m dead!”
Lin Yunan shrugged his shoulders. “It’s up to you.” Although he said that, he thought, Women always do not mean what they say. She was still wearing the amulet that Li Lei gave her at the start. She doesn’t fool anyone when she says she doesn’t like him anymore.
However, he was too lazy to expose her. As her manager, he was not her relationship counselor. He did not care whether she got back with him or not.
Lin Yunan sauntered out.
Xia Ling sulked alone in the company for a while before getting into a car to accompany Shaohui.
Just as she reached the front door, she saw a group of people surrounding the area. They were all reporters and fighting to ask her questions. “Miss Ye, I heard that your child hit Mr. Li’s child. Is this true?”
“I heard that your child has never received etiquette training before. Does he have problems socializing?”
“I heard that he doesn’t get along with others and is a loner?”
One by one, questions were shot at her like a cannon.
She had a splitting headache and told the driver, “Quickly drive.” The red Porsche which was stuck at the entrance of the community moved at the speed of a tortoise.
