Chapter 496: How Smart Are You?
When Secretary Ho saw the news circulating on the internet, he suddenly felt that he was very negligent. Therefore, he felt very apologetic and quickly apologized to Lu Jingzhi, “Principal, I’m sorry. It seemed as though I failed to keep the situation under control.”
However, Lu Jingzhi did not show much reaction at all. Instead, he simply replied, “You have worked hard last night. You can go back and rest today.”
“Principal, you don’t want to… stop it?” Secretary Ho was a little surprised because he did not expect Lu Jingzhi to allow the videos and pictures to continue circulating on the internet.
“Jingqi is recovering well already. As for everything else, there is nothing that we should be afraid of.” As soon as Lu Jingzhi finished speaking, he got into the car immediately. After Secretary Ho got in the passenger’s seat, Lu Jingzhi said again, “I haven’t gone online much lately. Is there any interesting news that I should know of? If you have some free time, make a trip to the crew.”
After that, Lu Jingzhi took out a piece of paper from his pocket. “This is a list of Yuning’s favorite food.”
Secretary Ho took the note from Lu Jingzhi’s hand before he asked, “You…you won’t be going?”
“I’m going but I’m afraid that I will be called back before I get to see her. That is why I want you to go in advance to make all the necessary arrangements for me. Do you understand now?”
Secretary Ho understood Lu Jingzhi’s intentions immediately. Therefore, he smiled and replied, “Principal, you can be rest assured that I will complete the task that you have assigned me.”
As a single person, Secretary Ho found it very interesting to meet new people. For example, he knew that the best way to visit the young mistress’ crew and to cheer her up is to appear as her fan. This way, Vera would also be happier.
…
After the Han family learned about Han Xiaozheng’s fate, they started unleashing their anger on the internet.
At this time, Director Han was so frightened that immediately sent someone out to wipe out any information on Han Xiaozheng. Using Han Xiaozheng’s credit card consumption records, he conducted a thorough investigation of his network, and finally found the whereabouts and identity of the young model.
That young girl knew many things about Han Xiaozheng, but she did not know about Han Xiaozheng’s real family background. After all, Han Xiaozheng was also ashamed of his identity as an illegitimate child.
The young girl only knew that Han Xiaozheng was very rich and had enmity with the Lu family. However, she had no idea how the enmity ever existed.
Now, the Han family suddenly appeared at her doorstep, as they demanded for her to delete all the information and posts on her social media account.
The Han family also ordered her to leave the country immediately so that she could not be contacted by the media.
The young model knew that she was in a lot of trouble but she could only sit in the corner and cry. She did not want to give up her career and she didn’t want to leave her parents behind.
But, this group of people looked so fierce and they even entered her house and smashed everything in the house. But, was this her house?
The Han family hired three men to deal with this matter, and they only broke into the house after finding out that the house was registered under the name of Han Xiaozheng.
And Han Xiaozheng was the one who arranged for the young model to live here.
The three men entered the door by using a key, and they even knocked on the door before entering the door. Weren’t they being polite enough?
“Young girl, do you know what happens when you start spreading baseless rumors on the internet? Do you know how much trouble you have given the Han family because of those rumors that you created? You do not have any grievances or grudges with the Lu family so, why did you spread the rumor that the Lu family has kidnapped Han Xiaozheng and gotten rid of him? Young girl, you should understand that the Han family respects the Lu family very much,” the leader of the trio sat down on the sofa as he educated the young model in an earnest manner.
“Now there are rumors circulating all around the internet and the reputation of the Lu family is damaged. Can you afford to bear this responsibility and pay the price for your recklessness?”
“Who asked you to make your own assumptions and go onto the internet to post those fake news in the first place? If you can’t find someone, don’t you think that it’s better to call the police, rather than to spread rumors? Don’t you feel silly right now?”
The young model squatted in the corner, and her mind was a blank at this time.
“Since you have already deleted everything from my social media account, I guess you really did not expect the situation to get serious. Do you understand what you have gotten yourself into this time? Do you know how much trouble you have caused both the Han family and the Lu family because of this rumor? Can you talk about things without having any evidence at all? Do you know what is going to happen to you if the Lu family decides to look into this matter?”
“Also, you should stop looking for Han Xiaozheng in future. You have already gotten enough benefits from him. Are you really expecting him to marry you?”
“You are a college student. So, you should focus on making money on your own. Be a good girl and stop ruining your own future because of a man…”
“Don’t you think that I have been very persuasive today, huh?”
The young model was very confused and she kept sitting at the corner of the room as she could not stop herself from crying.
The three men eventually stepped out to smoke a cigarette, probably because they were starting to find her annoying.
The young model sorted out her emotions and regained her composure after the three men left her alone. After that, she went online immediately before posting a message on her social media account. “I’m sorry. I’m really sorry. I started this rumor because I wanted to gain some hype and attention. My sole purpose in doing so is simply to attract everyone’s attention. I am sorry for my joke.”
After posting the message on her social media account, the young model put down her cell phone, before she hugged her knees and continued crying.
[Sure enough, this is all an attempt to gain the netizen’s attention.]
[Why do I still find it so difficult to believe? I feel that the girl really knows something, but she is probably being threatened right now.]
[Why are there so many conspiracy theories?]
[This woman is obviously spouting nonsense. If she really had connections with people from the Han or Lu family, why is she still a small-time model?]
[The Jiang family and the Lu family are close family friends, but what about Jiang Yuning? Isn’t she taking care of the Lu family now?]
[Why are you bringing up Empress Jiang in this kind of situation? Why don’t you watch <Secret of the Nation> instead?]
[By the way, why is Jiang Yuning’s resources so limited even though she has such a close relationship with the Lu family?]
[Is the disappearance of the young master of the Han family related to the incident involving the young master of the Lu family?]
[She already confessed that she was simply trying to gain some hype and attention. So, what else is there to discuss? Don’t you think that it is better for us to continue discussing why Jiang Yuning’s resources are so limited instead…]
[Let’s talk about the mentally retarded young brother from the Lu family. It is actually such a pity because he is really very handsome.]
[So, what if he is a member of the Lu family? There is no way for him to enjoy life at all.]
[Is there anyone working in that agency that can give us an update on the actual situation? Perhaps, the Lu family is whimsical and is really trying to train a mentally disabled boy?]
Even though the young model had already gone on her social media account to refute her previous statements, the impact was irreversible. This was especially so when it came to the news about Lu Jingqi.
…
In the hospital, Jin Mingcheng was drinking a cup of juice as he played with his cell phone.
Every now and then, he will share some popular posts and topics on his social media account with Lu Jingqi until…he read the news about Han Xiaozheng and the Lu family.
The netizens were making fun of the situation as they said that one of them was mentally retarded whereas the other was just an idiot.
After Jin Mingcheng finished reading the article, he suddenly coughed before he said, “Um…Jingqi, didn’t you make a fuss about owning a cell phone? Your father didn’t buy it for you?”
“Sister Jing will not approve of it,” Lu Jingqi replied while peeling an orange for him.
“It’s fine even if she does not approve of it. I think that it is really fine…” At least, Lu Jingqi would not see any of the criticisms and insults and he would not feel upset and offended.
Lu Jingqi stared at Jin Mingcheng for a short while, but at this time, he saw that Jin Mingchen had already logged into his second social media account to refute those haters.
“You are the mentally retarded one! Why don’t you show me how smart you are?”
“Who gave you the audacity to talk so much when you are just criticizing people under an anonymous account?”
“Wow! I can’t believe that a young girl like you can have such a poisonous mouth. If you ever get married, I will apologize to you on live television…”
