Luo Shuqi picked up his phone again and took out the photos he had secretly taken. He turned on his computer and got busy. He was thankful that he had been messing around and photoshopped many intimate photos of Xia Sheng and their faces.

After preparing everything, Luo Shuqi mosaic himself, but he exposed Xia Sheng completely. He posted it along with a heartbreaking post. As Luo Shuqi browsed the news, he contacted the marketing accounts to help spread the photos. “I want you to never be able to turn things around!”

In order to make the fabricated story seem more realistic, he even deliberately acted pitiful on the Internet and publicized the story when he was with Xia Sheng.

This reminded the netizens that Xia Sheng was now the executive director of the Huo family, and her status was rising rapidly. On the other hand, Luo Shuqi was in dire straits. Everyone thought of a story. Xia Sheng liked the new and hated the old. She hooked up with a rich man like Huo Ye and kicked her ex-lover away. Such shameless behavior ignited the anger in everyone’s hearts again, many people rushed to Xia Sheng’s Weibo and scolded her.

The moment Xia Sheng opened Weibo, she was scolded by countless netizens. It took her a few seconds to react. She ignored their insults and checked the photos that Luo Shuqi had posted. She sneered and was about to retaliate when she noticed something unusual in one of the photos. What attracted her was not the two people in the photo, but an inconspicuous document in the background, but it was this document that made her feel strange.

Xia Sheng zoomed in on the photo and observed it carefully. “Strange, how did he get this proposal?” After taking a closer look at the surface of the proposal, she suddenly thought of her previous life, where the last inheritance document was taken away from her. Perhaps these two were related.

She sent the photo to Mingzhu and said, “Help me check on the Luo family’s recent movements.” She did not intend to deal with these rumors on the Internet until the matter was investigated. She would let Luo Shuqi do whatever he wanted for a few days. When the time came, the other party would not be happy anymore.

Over the past few days, the internet was abuzz with news about Xia Sheng, but she stayed at home and did not step out.

In the huge villa, Xia Sheng was curled up on the sofa, happily chasing after the drama series. There were half-eaten snacks placed beside her, and she was leading a happy life.

When Huo Ye returned home, he saw Xia Sheng’s overjoyed expression and was slightly stunned. “You… didn’t go out the whole day?”

“The company has nothing to do with me. Why would I go out?” Xia Sheng stuffed a handful of popcorn into her mouth and asked in confusion.

Ever since she gave the Huo Corporation to Huo Ye, she was completely assured and decided to slack off. Of course, when she was bored, she would stay in the kitchen and study the delicacies.

Huo Ye heard from the servant that Xia Sheng had left in one day and felt helpless. “Forget it, as long as you’re happy.”

However, he was unhappy. The news of Xia Sheng being scolded on the Internet had long spread and he had seen the public opinion. He thought that it would be better for Xia Sheng to handle it personally. In the end, the other party did not move at all for the past few days, so he could not hold it in anymore.

Xia Sheng tilted her head and glanced at Huo Ye. She jumped off the sofa and dragged her feet to the kitchen. Soon, a dessert was served.

“Have a taste of the food that I’ve just developed.” Her eyes lit up as she waited for Huo Ye to give her a neutral evaluation.

Huo Ye suppressed his anxiety and gave his evaluation after tasting it. He then saw Xia Sheng running into the kitchen to get busy. He was scrolling through Weibo silently. When he saw that the people insulting Xia Sheng did not stop, he could not help but feel anxious again.

On the other hand, Xia Sheng paid no attention to the outside world and continued to watch the drama happily as usual, even pulling Huo Ye along. When she saw something interesting, she nudged Huo Ye and said, “Why are you pulling a long face? Smile.”

However, Huo Ye could not smile no matter what. No matter how hard he tried, he could only twitch the corner of his lips, it looked more like he was twitching.

Xia Sheng found it boring and pulled on Huo Ye’s face unhappily, making an unbridled request. “It’s okay if you don’t want to laugh, you can act cute like the people on TV, you can always wink!”

Huo Ye took Xia Sheng’s hand and reprimanded her. “Stop fooling around.” It was absolutely impossible for him to do those things like the people in dramas, not to mention that Xia Sheng was a little too presumptuous.

Xia Sheng pursed her lips and took the chance when Huo Ye was not prepared to let her go. “No, you must agree to my request today. Otherwise, don’t think of leaving!” She pushed Huo Ye away and pinned him down on the sofa. She said coquettishly, “Hurry up, I want to take a look.”

Huo Ye’s heart softened and he gave in helplessly. “Just this once, there won’t be a next time.”

Xia Sheng quickly sat up and pulled Huo Ye up as well, staring at him intently.

Being stared at by such a fiery gaze, even Huo Ye was a little shocked. After some thought, he forced himself to act cute.

However, this also made Xia Sheng very happy. “That’s great! You look much better than the main character on TV!”

“As long as you’re happy.” Huo Ye forced a smile. He did not know how much self-hypnosis he had secretly done to satisfy Xia Sheng’s request.

Seeing that Xia Sheng was staring at the television happily again, his eyes darkened. He then found an excuse to get up. “I still have some work to do, I won’t accompany you anymore.”

Xia Sheng waved her hand without looking back and continued eating snacks to watch the drama.

However, when Huo Ye returned to the study room, he didn’t do his so-called work. Instead, he hacked into Luo Shuqi’s account. At the same time, he found a group of people to clean up the accounts of those people who were cursing on Weibo. He felt angry when he saw these filthy words, not to mention these people still attacking Xia Sheng without restraint. Even if Xia Sheng acted like she did not care, she would inevitably feel depressed after a long time. It would be more peaceful to get rid of him at once.

Huo Ye also had an unknown identity. As an Internet expert, it was easy for him to get rid of these things.

After the drama ended, Xia Sheng logged back on Weibo. However, she realized that more than half of the people who spoke were gone, including the photos of Luo Shuqi.

She couldn’t help but feel a little curious. She grabbed onto Huo Ye and shared it with him. “It’s really strange. I only watched a television drama, but those people who scolded me earlier are all gone.”

Huo Ye did not feel guilty either, he coughed dryly and changed the topic with a smile. “No one scolds you anymore, isn’t that good?”

“That’s true, but this is too clean.” Xia Sheng mumbled, feeling regretful. She hasn’t even retaliated and yet the content was cleared. She felt a little regretful that she didn’t teach Luo Shuqi a lesson..
