71. Chapter 71: Caught off guard! Moved by the Luo Family

"Xixi!!"

Bai Fengxia called out Luo Xixi's name, walked quickly toward her, and then pulled Luo Xixi into a tight embrace.

!!!

Luo Xixi was startled by this sudden situation.

【Oh my god, what is going on? I thought that when Mom saw me, she would definitely be heartbroken and interrogate me about how I could be such a person. This is not at all like what I imagined! Could it be that the rumors on the internet aren't enough to crush Mom's love for me? But how could that be?】

Hearing what her daughter was thinking about them in her heart, Bai Fengxia felt even more distressed.

It was because they hadn't given Xixi enough sense of security that she felt so uneasy and insecure inside; they really were very unqualified as family!

"Xixi, you must not be influenced by those rumors on the internet. Those aren't true, don't believe them!"

Bai Fengxia held Luo Xixi's hands and said firmly.

"Ah, no, that..."

Hearing her mother's words, Luo Xixi was a bit confused.

【I don't believe them, but isn't the point now whether you guys believe them?】

Why does it feel like the tables have been turned on me?

Bai Fengxia quickly said: "Mom doesn't believe those rumors at all either! This is all someone trying to harm you, deliberately smearing and slandering you!"

"Ah? (⊙口⊙)"

Hearing this, Luo Xixi was dumbfounded, "No, you don't believe it?"

【How is this different from what I expected? I thought everyone would denounce me and kick me, this family disgrace, out of the house.】

Luo Shiqing, standing to the side, also never expected things to go in this direction. Because it was so unbelievable, her delicate face was slightly distorted at this moment.

Has Bai Fengxia lost her mind? All kinds of evidence have been posted online, yet she can still turn a blind eye and think Luo Xixi is innocent. Has her brain malfunctioned!!

【System, what is going on here!!】

The Heartthrob System came online and analyzed: 【It might be that Bai Fengxia's Favorability Value toward Luo Xixi is too high, causing her filters to be too thick, to the point that those negative evaluations online failed to affect her view of Luo Xixi.】

【How could this be!!!】

"Xixi, regarding those rumors on the internet, Dad has already had your eldest brother investigate them. Don't worry, we will definitely find the mastermind and get justice for you. Don't go online to look at those comments these days; go out for a walk to clear your mind. Dad and Mom will accompany you."

Luo Zhennian also walked over at this time to give Luo Xixi some peace of mind.

!!!

Luo Shiqing looked at Luo Zhennian, her eyes nearly popping out of her head.

Are you fucking crazy too???

"Dad..."

Luo Xixi blinked. Seeing her old father's steady and reliable appearance, her heart began to thump wildly.

To be honest.

She was too surprised.

Clearly, she had already prepared herself mentally to be accused by the Luo Family, but the verbal abuse and accusations she expected didn't come at all. Not only that, they even seemed worried that she would be affected by the online evaluations.

Aren't these people NPCs?

As long as the plot changes, their attitudes should shift at any time, but now that her reputation is so bad, this shouldn't be their attitude. Why are they still caring about her?

Thump-thump.

Thump-thump.

Thump-thump.

Luo Xixi's heart was beating extremely fast now.

An unprecedented emotion was rapidly colliding within her heart, making her nose feel a bit sore and her eye sockets grow hot.

Oh no.

Is she going to be moved to tears? By a group of NPCs?

"Xixi, I have already found out the true identity of the person behind the posts smearing you. I am currently investigating who is directing him to publish inappropriate remarks about you. Give your eldest brother some more time; I will definitely get justice for you."

Luo Xichuan walked to Luo Xixi's side. He saw his younger sister's gaze filled with a trace of confusion, her lips bitten tight and trembling slightly, while her eyes were a bit red. For a moment, he felt an indescribable heartache and pity.

This girl is too good at enduring.

Clearly, such a thing has happened, and she must be feeling incredibly wronged inside. Being smeared and abused by people online, her first instinct wasn't to find them to explain and have them seek justice for her, but instead, she was trembling with fear, not daring to believe they would stand on her side.

But they are family.

If she can't even open her heart completely to her family, one can imagine how much they have been lacking.

Luo Xinian reached out, pulled his younger sister into his arms, and then gently patted her back, comforting her as tenderly as possible: "It's okay, Xixi. If you feel wronged, you can tell us everything. You don't need to endure it. We are your family; no matter what happens, everyone will be with you and get through it together."

"..."

Luo Xixi leaned her head on Luo Xichuan's shoulder. She felt the reliable strength of his back and felt as if her chest were being filled with balls of cotton, so full it was about to overflow.

【How did it turn out like this? I thought you would all loathe me. I had already prepared myself to accept everything. If you act like this, won't I be unable to keep my composure anymore?】

In her previous life, she couldn't see her own position clearly and fought desperately for things that didn't belong to her, ending up in total defeat.

She had already learned to face reality.

But why give her unrealistic hope? It makes her feel that if she just tried a little harder, she could actually possess the affection and care of these people.

【Oh no.】

【I feel like tears are about to fall.】

"Luo Xixi!!"

Just as Luo Xixi was desperately holding back her tears, her third brother, Luo Xinian, suddenly stepped forward quickly, pulled her over, and then held her small face in both hands, forcing her to look up and meet his eyes.

!!!

Luo Xixi was startled by Luo Xinian's actions. "Third Brother, you, what are you doing?"

Seeing that there were indeed tears in the girl's eyes, Luo Xinian took a breath, then said loudly to Luo Xixi, "You idiot! Isn't it only natural for family to help each other? Is it really that hard for you to believe?"

"Huh?"

"And another thing! When you get scolded by that bunch of people online, why are you holding it in? Are you afraid we won't believe you? In your eyes, are we that unreliable? Let me tell you, I've already had a lawyer send legal notices to that group spreading rumors and smearing you online. It won't be long before the storm online dies down. What you need to do isn't to hold it in; at home, you can vent your dissatisfaction all you want. Do you really think your family would find you troublesome? I thought that after spending so much time together, our hearts had grown a little closer, but I didn't expect you to still be so distant. You're really going to be the death of me!"

"..."

Hearing her Third Brother grumbling and cursing, Luo Xixi blinked her eyes again and again.

Although her Third Brother's tone wasn't very good, it seemed he was hoping she would pull herself together and not bottle up her feelings, right?

【What a surprise, Third Brother is actually quite protective of me.】

Hearing Luo Xixi's inner voice, Luo Xinian was almost angered to death again.

When Mom, Dad, and the eldest brother comfort her, she isn't surprised, but when he comforts her, she thinks it's a surprise, right! What kind of image does he even have in her heart??

As if venting his anger, Luo Xinian pinched Luo Xixi's cheeks and said unhappily, "If you want to cry, then cry; if you don't want to cry, then hold it back. What's with this 'about to cry but not quite' act?"

"Ouch, it hurts, Third Brother..."

Luo Xixi struggled in a hurry.

"Third, stop bullying your younger sister!"

Luo Xichuan hurriedly stopped his younger brother. Seeing that Luo Xixi's cheeks were already red, he rubbed her cheeks for her and said helplessly to his brother, "Do you think Xixi has a thick skin like you? Girls have thin skin; stop being handsy."

"Where is my skin thick?"

Luo Xinian glared.

Luo Xichuan retorted, "Hasn't your skin always been quite thick?"

Seeing her two brothers start arguing, Luo Xixi watched with amusement, feeling that the emotions she had been suppressing were released at this moment.

And just at this moment.

Bai Fengxia suddenly noticed something and looked around. "Huh?"

"What's wrong, dear?"

Seeing his wife's actions, Luo Zhennian asked.

Bai Fengxia looked around the circle and then said to everyone, "Where did Shiqing go? Wasn't she just here a moment ago? How did she disappear in the blink of an eye?"

Thump.

Hearing this, Luo Xixi also came back to her senses and looked around, her heart sinking slightly.

Strange.

Where did the female lead run off to?
