Chapter 121: Exposed Online

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The more Ling Xue spoke up for Pei Xin in the live broadcast room, the more the people in the live broadcast room praised Ling Xue’s kindness and generosity, and the more they cursed Pei Xin as an ingrate.

Ling Xue was also observing the comments as it happened.

Seeing everyone scolding Pei Xin so fiercely made her feel relieved. This was the first time it wasn’t aimed at her.

After only an hour of live streaming, Ling Xue turned off the live show on the pretense that she was not feeling well.

After that, Ling Xue hired a troll army to take advantage of this wave of popularity to insult Pei Xin in every aspect.

She also found people to pretend to be Pei Xin’s childhood classmates and kept spreading rumors about Pei Xin’s bad deeds.

Pei Xin was said to be materialistic, arrogant, hypocritical, and liked to seduce men.

Pei Xin was influenced by the trolls and did not go to the company after the live broadcast ended.

If the company needed her for anything, they had no choice but to contact her online.

Ling Jin was a little worried about Pei Xin’s condition and took the initiative to take a day off to accompany Pei Xin at home.

At this moment, Pei Xin was reading the malicious comments through her computer.

Almost everyone was scolding her.

“Don’t mind these people. They don’t know the truth about you at all.” Ling Jin said to Pei Xin with heartache.

Pei Xin turned around and said to Ling Jin, “Don’t worry. After I got out of prison, I had worse treatment. Now, my ability to withstand pressure is very high. The insults that these people have directed at me won’t cause me any real harm. They’re just fools that are easily swayed by the public opinion.”

Ling Jin thought that Pei Xin was pretending to be strong, so he tried to analyze if there was anything off from Pei Xin’s gaze.

However, he discovered that Pei Xin’s gaze was firm and did not show any signs of hurt.

Pei Xin saw Ling Jin staring at her with a worried look. Pei Xin couldn’t help but laugh. “I’ve already told you. I’m not affected by public opinion anymore.”

Pei Xin felt that she should have a good talk with Ling Jin so that he wouldn’t worry about her condition.

“Whether it was five years ago or five years later, everyone has never stopped giving me pointers… Instead of letting them keep smearing me like this, it’s better to maximize their attacks on me and let me clarify it personally when the time is right.”

“What do you mean?” Ling Jin was surprised. “You want to let the country pay attention to this matter so much that when you explain the situation to everyone it’ll be easily over?”

Pei Xin nodded.

“But the most important thing now is that we don’t have any evidence,” Ling Jin said worriedly.

“Wei… have you ever molested Ling Xue?” Pei Xin asked. “Did you already know that Ling Xue wasn’t your biological sister?”

” I’ve never done anything indecent to Ling Xue,” Ling Jin quickly explained. “And I’ve always treated her as my biological sister.”

Speaking up to this point, Ling Jin felt hurt that she doubted him.

He said dispiritedly, “I don’t know why Ling Xue would say such things online. Maybe she wants the Pei family to feel more sorry for her. I don’t blame her. Even so, I know that it’s our mother’s fault for swapping you as a baby back then.”

Pei Xin shook her head and tried to persuade Ling Jin. “It’s not like that. It was our mother’s fault, but it has nothing to do with you. When Ling Xue was in the Ling family, you were always very good to her. She slandered you on the Internet. It’s her fault. That’s a separate matter. You shouldn’t tolerate Ling Xue’s behavior just because of your mother’s mistake. She’s slandering you.”

When Ling Jin heard Pei Xin’s affirmations, he felt conflicted and hesitant.

Previously, he thought that the children should bear the responsibility for their parents’ mistakes.

Ling Xue’s life was because of her mother’s fault. She had suffered in the slums for more than ten years, so Ling Jin always felt that he owed Ling Xue everything.

Now Pei Xin’s words reminded him that he had his own rights too.

What Ling Xue was doing now was a lie, and it was immoral.

Perhaps the current Ling Xue was no longer the Ling Xue he knew.

Ling Xue hated everyone in their family. She even wanted to take revenge.

Ling Jin took a deep breath and said to Pei Xin, “I know. I was too indulgent towards Ling Xue in the past. I thought that as long as I didn’t argue with her, she would be able to let this go. I realize now that Ling Xue’s hatred for us is far beyond my imagination. She and 1 have long been on opposing sides.”

Pei Xin nodded in approval. Her brother had finally regained his rationality..
