69. Chapter 69: The Warm-Hearted Luo Family
Shiqing's face fell instantly, and she asked in disbelief: 【How is this possible? The scandalous rumors about Luo Xixi are spreading everywhere online right now. It's impossible for the Luo Family not to have heard the news. How could their Favorability Value toward Luo Xixi still remain unchanged?】
The Heartthrob System analyzed: 【Perhaps they haven't received the news yet, or it could be a data delay that hasn't updated to the latest figures. But please rest assured, Host; with such major scandals exposed about Luo Xixi, it is impossible for the Luo Family to feel no disgust toward her.】
Hearing the Heartthrob System say this, Shiqing felt a bit more at ease. She gritted her teeth and said: 【Then I'll wait a little longer. I want to see how much their Favorability Value toward Luo Xixi drops this time. It would be best if it all drops to 0 for me!!】
Luo Group.
Eldest brother Luo Xichuan had just returned to the country from a business trip when he received a call from his mother, Bai Fengxia.
"Xichuan, have you gone online? Have you seen any strange news?"
Luo Xichuan had actually already learned from his assistant that his younger sister Luo Xixi had been exposed for scandals, and he was just preparing to handle this matter after returning to the company.
Hearing that his mother's voice was full of worry, he spoke to reassure her: "Mom, you're calling because of Xixi's matter, right? Don't worry, I will investigate clearly who is behind the scenes smearing Xixi."
Hearing this tone from her son, Bai Fengxia breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Actually, I called you because I didn't want you to have any misunderstandings about Xixi because of things online. Hearing you say this, I feel relieved. Xichuan, you must investigate thoroughly; you absolutely cannot let off the person behind the scenes who is splashing dirty water on your sister!"
Bai Fengxia was able to read Luo Xixi's inner thoughts, so she was very clear about what kind of person her daughter was. As for what the internet said about smoking, perming hair, and going to internet cafes—even if it were true, that would be their failure as parents. How could they blame a child who had grown up without relatives to guide her?
As for saying Xixi bullied others, that was even more of a baseless rumor.
How could a child as kind and humble as Xixi possibly bully others? This must be someone who saw her daughter becoming popular and wanted to splash dirty water to smear Xixi.
In short, Bai Fengxia did not believe a single word of those comments online!
She wouldn't believe a post fabricated by some unknown villain over the child she spent every day with. Was she out of her mind?
But she could read Xixi's heart, while the others in the family could not. That was why Bai Fengxia had hurriedly called her eldest son, Luo Xichuan, hoping he wouldn't believe the rumors online and do something to hurt his sister.
Fortunately.
The eldest son still seemed to have his reason.
"Mom, don't worry. Ever since Xixi started on the variety show, I've noticed a force sparing no effort to smear her. I will find a way to investigate the other party's background and will definitely get justice for Xixi."
Luo Xichuan was reliable in his work; every word was like a soothing pill, striking the heart of his elderly mother.
"Good, that's good."
Bai Fengxia was now at ease and said: "Alright then, Xichuan, I won't disturb you anymore. Go and investigate quickly."
"Understood, Mom."
Luo Xichuan had just hung up with his mother when his father called him as well.
"Hello? Dad."
"Xichuan, immediately send people to investigate the identity of the person who posted the smears about your sister online. First, issue a lawyer's letter to the other party, then organize PR to reduce the negative evaluations of your sister online to a minimum!"
Luo Zhennian didn't waste any words and went straight to the point.
Luo Xichuan hadn't seen his father act with such swift and decisive methods in a long time. He was stunned for a moment, then laughed helplessly: "Dad, do you not doubt at all that Xixi really did those things spreading online?"
Hearing his eldest son say this, Luo Zhennian's tone couldn't help but sink a few degrees: "That is truly a baseless rumor! What kind of person Xixi is—could I not feel it when interacting with her? As for those smearing her online, I actually think it's an organized act. I don't care what their goal is, but since they dare to bully the daughter of my Luo Family, my Luo Family must make them pay a painful price!"
When he saw the overwhelming news smearing her online, Luo Zhennian had a premonition that it was bad.
The family couldn't read Xixi's heart; seeing the online comments, they might just believe them to be true.
And as the head of the family, he had to be calm at this time to stabilize everyone's hearts. He absolutely could not let the online discourse spread into their lives, and even more so, could not let Xixi be harmed because of it. Thus, Luo Zhennian, who had already retired to the second line, was now taking action again, all to ensure his daughter Xixi would not be harmed a second time.
Hearing his father say this, Luo Xichuan laughed and said: "Dad, don't worry. I am already doing these things. I will definitely seek justice for Xixi and let those who smeared her receive legal sanctions."
"Mm."
Seeing that his eldest son didn't seem to be affected by the online discourse, Luo Zhennian also breathed a sigh of relief. He said slowly: "Xichuan, it's good that you think this way. You must not be misled by the online discourse. Your sister is absolutely not that kind of person!"
"Mm, I know, Dad."
"Then go ahead and do it!"
"Alright."
After hanging up with his father, Luo Xichuan waited a while and found that his third brother, Luo Xinian, hadn't called him yet.
That kid had always had prejudices against Xixi; don't tell me he was fooled by the online discourse this time?
Just in case.
Luo Xichuan called his third brother, Luo Xinian.
After about ten seconds.
Luo Xinian finally answered the phone.
"Hello!"
The tone was clearly not very good.
Luo Xichuan raised an eyebrow, his tone calm and composed: "Third brother, regarding the internet..."
However, before Luo Xichuan could finish his sentence, his younger brother Luo Xinian had already started cursing: "Damn it! Those people online are simply sick!!!"
"Eh?"
This reaction from his younger brother was somewhat unexpected for Luo Xichuan.
He paused, then tentatively asked: "Xinian, what do you mean by that?"
"Eldest brother, don't tell me you haven't seen those things people are saying about Luo Xixi online!" Luo Xinian said angrily: "Someone is targeting Luo Xixi! They probably saw she became popular and were afraid Luo Xixi was blocking their path, so they actually smeared her like this! Damn it! I've already had friends check the identity and background of the person who made the initial post. I want to see which force is so blind that they dare to bully our Luo Family!"
"..."
"Eldest brother, why did you call? If there's nothing important, I'm hanging up. I'm a bit busy right now."
After saying that.
Without waiting for Luo Xichuan to say anything else, Luo Xinian hung up the phone directly.
Luo Xichuan looked at the phone that had been hung up and couldn't help but chuckle.
Originally, he had been worried that his family would doubt Xixi because of the online discourse, but he hadn't expected them all to be feeling indignant for that girl. This caused Luo Xichuan's last shred of worry to completely dissipate.
Fortunately.
Everyone didn't doubt that girl. In this way, at least Xixi could feel a bit more at ease.
Just as Luo Xichuan was preparing to let go and take action, suddenly, another call came through; he took a steady look and discovered it was from his younger sister, Luo Shiqing.
Shiqing?
Luo Xichuan's eyes flickered.
Right now, apart from the second brother who was still staying at the research institute and hadn't expressed his stance, the only one left was this younger sister, Shiqing, who hadn't yet voiced her opinion.
Luo Xichuan immediately answered the phone, "Hello, Shiqing..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he heard Luo Shiqing's weak voice, laced with a sobbing tone, ring out: "Big Brother, regarding the matter on the internet, I believe that in the past, Sister was just muddled for a moment; she already knows she was wrong. Please, you must not hold a grudge against her just because of the mistakes she made in the past."
