Chapter 61 - News

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

While everyone at the Mo Corporation was busy, the atmosphere at the Mo family home was tense. Whenever the maids and bodyguards would look at Fang Liu, their expressions would change.

Fang Liu realized that everyone began to look at her differently, but she thought nothing of it. But when she saw Ah Yu stammering before her, she couldn’t help but ask, “Is everything okay, Ah Yu?”

Ah Yu quickly shook her head and said, “I-It’s nothing, Young Madam Fang. I-I just made a pot of corned beef stew. Would you like to try some?”

“Sure, and while you’re at it, could you bring me my tablet?” Fang Liu was usually amiable even when she spoke to the maids, she was gentle and soft-spoken, so the maids admired her.

However, at this moment, the more gentle and soft-spoken Fang Liu was, the more guilty Ah Yu felt. Ah Yu simply gritted her teeth and said with a sad tone, “Y-Young Madam Fang, I think you should avoid listening to the news today.”

Ah Yu was a horrible liar, but she did not want to deceive Fang Liu. As she spoke, tears rolled down her face, “The people on the internet have foul mouths. You don’t have to listen to what they’re saying.”

Seeing that Ah Yu began to cry, Fang Liu became even more puzzled. “What are they saying? Are they bad-mouthing me?”

Fang Liu then stood up, patted Ah Yu on the shoulder, and calmly said, “Don’t cry. I know that people say horrible things, but I need to know what they’re saying to address the issue, right? Did Mo Yu tell you to hide this from me?”

Fang Liu was smart. She immediately found out that Ah Yu couldn’t allow her to listen to the news because of Mo Yu’s request.

Ah Yu sobbed as she wiped her tears and nodded.

Fang Liu fell silent and remembered that this was one of the reasons why she should divorce Mo Yu.

The Mo family had a long and significant history in Southern City. Their influence was even more outstanding than that of the local government officials, and Mo Yu was the heir to the Mo family. He was the proud son of the family and was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.

As for Fang Liu, she was poor, lived in bad conditions, and her mother was even sent to prison with a debt of over a hundred million yuan.

Mo Yu would have a bright and prosperous future ahead of him. However, if Fang Liu continued to stay in the Mo family, she felt that she would only become a burden to Mo Yu.

Those who secretly hoped for Mo Yu’s downfall would not hesitate to use Fang Liu as a way to hinder Mo Yu.

As soon as Fang Liu married into the wealthy Mo family, she felt as though she had been thrown into the deep end. Although Fang Liu did not know the social hierarchy, she knew where she stood.

Fang Liu sighed and sat down. She then looked up at Ah Yu and said, “Ah Yu, please bring me my tablet. If Mo Yu asks you what happened, I will defend you and tell him that I forcefully took it from you.”

Since trouble had come knocking on her door, Fang Liu felt that she had to take it upon herself to face the music while pretending that she was unaware of what was happening.

Fang Liu had endured being humiliated when she was in the Fang family home for more than a decade. She had become resilient throughout the years, and no matter how harsh the storm was, it would not phase her.

Fang Liu was pregnant, and her mother was in prison. She had to be strong and face her difficulties head-on.

Ah Yu wiped away her tears and brought Fang Liu’s tablet over.

Fang Liu swiped on the tablet and opened up the browser application. She immediately saw four to five headlines with her name on them.

“The Story of a Dimwitted Girl That Married Into a Wealthy Family. Is It True Love, or Something Else?”

“Low Requirements for Marrying a Wealthy Man? You Will Believe It When You See It.”

“Young Madam Fang Was Pregnant Before Marrying Into the Mo Family. An Odd Decision Made by a Wealthy Family.”

“A Compilation on Fang Liu’s Most Humiliating Memes. They’re So Humiliating That They’ll Make You Laugh!”

Every headline was eye-catching and exaggerated. If Fang Liu were just an ordinary viewer, she would probably not pay much attention to it. However, she was the main attraction in this matter. Everyone thought that she was simply a dimwitted girl who had gotten pregnant before marrying into a wealthy family. 

Even though Fang Liu felt as though she was mentally prepared to face the scrutiny, her face began to turn pale.

Ah Yu couldn’t bear to witness this, so she said with a sad tone, “Young Madam Fang, please stop listening to the news. Those people are speaking nonsense. They don’t know the truth. They’re just trying to attract attention to their channels.”

Fang Liu shook her head and said, “I’m fine, Ah Yu. Could you bring me a glass of water, please?”

When Ah Yu left, Fang Liu tapped on the articles and saw the humiliating photos of herself taken at the Fang family home. The internet’s trolls made those photos into various memes, and there were all kinds of insulting comments at the bottom of the images, such as dumb b*tch and dimwitted sl*t. 

Fang Liu’s hands began to tremble as she held her tablet. 

‘Fang Yan took these photos!’
