Chapter 402 - Malicious Comments
Song Xing Xing raised her head to look at Lu Xun again. "Does Xia Yu know about this?"
"The news isn't widely spread yet," Lu Xun said. "Miss Xia shouldn't know about this yet."
Song Xing Xing continued to look at her phone. "Then, what did Huo Yun Chen say about this?"
She was very curious to know how did the scene in this picture come to happen. Song Xing Xing believed that Huo Yun Chen isn't someone who would take advantage of another.
Moreover, her wedding banquet was a private function. Who was the one who took this photograph? It couldn't be that a reporter had snuck into the hotel, right?
"He told his manager that Miss Xia was too drunk after the banquet," Lu Xun said. "He didn't know where Miss Xia was staying. So, he sent her over to his assistant's room."
Song Xing Xing naturally knew Huo Yun Chen's assistant, Lin You. After all, she had communicated with that girl a few times before.
"His assistant had verified this," Lu Xun continued. "It seemed that a guest of the hotel ran into them, snapped a few pictures, and sell it over to the reporter."
Fortunately, that person did not post the picture online. Or else, this matter would blow up very quickly.
Last time, it was rumored that Huo Yun Chen was partying with a group of underage girls. It took him a while to clear his name.
This time, she wondered how would Huo Yun Chen solve this matter?
However, the person Song Xing Xing was worried about the most was Xia Yu. She was not Huo Yun Chen. If the news blew up, it would be difficult for Xia Yu to continue her daily life. How was she going to work as a nurse peacefully?
As if knowing what his wife was worried about, Lu Xun patted on his wife's arms and smiled. "Don't worry. We'll help to protect Miss Xia. No one knew who she is and they won't find out about her."
"Mhm.." Song Xing Xing nodded. "That day, it was me who had asked Huo Yun Chen to look after Xia Yu. Help him to clarify this matter."
"Un. I know. I already discussed this matter with Director Fei and figured out what to do. This happened during our wedding banquet. Of course, we have to help them explain."
Song Xing Xing still remembered that her husband was a good friend of Long Fei, the most influential person in the media world.
As long as Xia Yu's identity would be protected, Song Xing Xing would be relieved.
Seeing that his wife was in a dazed, Lu Xin leaned over to peck on her lips. "Come on. Let's go and get ready and have breakfast."
...
Capital City.
A few hours later, the news of Huo Yun Chen was dragging an unconscious woman to the hotel began to spread. It was said that he had called a few women to party with him and had drugged that woman before taking advantage of her.
However, with President Lu Xun's instruction, this news was quickly suppressed and controlled. Those who wanted to use this opportunity to smear Huo Yun Chen's name could not take advantage of this situation.
Each time that someone posted something negative about him, Huo Yun Chen's team would take note of that person and send over a lawyer's letter.
NEXT Group quickly help to clarify this matter.
What happened was that the photo was taken at President Lu and his wife's wedding banquet, Huo Yun Chen was a good friend of the couple and was invited to attend their wedding banquet.
They posed a video of Huo Yun Chen on stage, singing a love song and dedicating the song to the newlywed. There was also a picture of Huo Yun Chen with the married couple at the wedding banquet. Seeing the way he was dressed and styled in the video was the same as the one in the picture, the netizen began to believe it as the truth.
NEXT Group continued to explain about the woman beside Huo Yun Chen.
It was said that the woman was a good friend of Mrs. Lu and therefore, her identity could not be revealed. It was said that Mrs. Lu was worried about her friend and had asked Huo Yun Chen to help her to look after her friend.
After sending this friend to her room, Huo Yun Chen then left.
Nothing happened between them.
As soon as NEXT Group had posted this clarification, both Lu Xun and Song Xing Xing had forwarded this news on their social media as well.
The two of them ended their post by telling everyone not to spread malicious gossip or else, they will have to take legal action.
Huo Yun Chen's haters continued to smear his name and pointed out that NEXT Group was only helping his artist to clear his name. Whether Huo Yun Chen was taking advantage of this girl or not, they could not be sure about it.
The day after tomorrow, someone had posted and claimed to be the woman in the picture's best friend and said that the woman was drugged and taken advantage of at the wedding banquet.
However, five minutes after the woman had posted this information, she then deleted the post and her account.
Someone had already snapshot her post and spread it around. Soon, they started to believe this slander and thought that NEXT Group had threatened that woman into deleting her post and account.
Lu Xun had thought that this would be a small scandal but he did not expect that the news would spread like this. This time, if he used Long Fei's help to suppress the news, it would only backfire.
The slander on Huo Yun Chen on the internet was getting bad.
Someone had used this chance and paid the water army to make things worst for Huo Yun Chen. The NEXT Group could only collect their information and send over the lawyer's letter, but their malicious comments did not stop. It was as if there was someone behind this who was determined to bring down Huo Yun Chen.
When Xia Yu knew about the things online, it was only a few days later. The past few days, she was too busy with work that she did not have time to leisurely browse through the internet. She looked at the picture of herself with Huo Yun Chen hesitated.
She wanted to help him clarify this matter, but she did not know how.
After pondering about this matter for a while, Xia Yu exited the news portal and sent a message to someone.
