Chapter 698 - Evil People

Ling Sheng had been attacked because of her. She had been criticized on the hottest searches. On what basis had those bad people not been criticized? Why had those indiscriminate netizens cursed a good person?

If one was scolded for being a good person, who would help strangers in the future?

Mr. Song looked at his daughter, and his voice became gentler as he tried to persuade her. “Yanyan, you’re too naive. You don’t know how evil people can be. What you see and what they do are not as simple as they seem.”

“Father, are you saying that she didn’t truly save me? All I know is that she saved me. Otherwise, I… Anyway, I don’t care about anything else.” Song Yiyan was not good with words and had a weak personality, but she was not stupid. Her mind was more sensitive than the average person’s, and she observed things more carefully. “Father, someone took a photo at the door. The first thing she did was not pretend to be herself but protect me.”

“Yanyan, listen to your father. We’re your parents. Would we harm you?” Upon seeing Mr. Song’s unhappy expression, Mrs. Song hurriedly tugged at her and shot her a look. In a low voice, she said, “Be good and go to bed. Your father will take care of this. You don’t have to worry.”

“Father, Mother, it’s my fault for going out to meet the director behind your backs. However, this has nothing to do with her. They should be the ones being scolded, not Ling Sheng.” Song Yiyan wiped her tears and looked at the man in front of her seriously and stubbornly. She extended her hand. “Return my phone to me. I’ll explain myself personally.”

This was the first time Mr. Song had seen his gentle daughter resist him. His expression darkened as he shouted, “Auntie Zhang, take the young lady upstairs to rest!”

“Father!” Song Yiyan did not know why, but all she wanted to do was put in a good word on the Internet by saying that it was not Ling Sheng’s fault and that she had helped her. Director Guo and the others were the bad guys who had bullied her. Tears streamed down her face as she looked at Mrs. Song. “Mother, help me tell Father!”

Mrs. Song could not speak either. She could not change her husband’s decision. Upon seeing her daughter cry as she was led to the second floor, she heaved a sigh of relief. “Hubby, Yanyan’s drinking partners’ identities will definitely not be leaked, right?”

A girl’s reputation was very important, especially since she was the daughter of the Song Family. She could not have even the slightest stain in her life. Even if nothing had happened while she’d been drinking with a group of men, people would think that something indescribable had happened and that the life she led was indecent.

Ling Sheng was different. Ever since she had debuted, she had been involved in endless scandals. Based on her behavior, one could tell that she was definitely not a nice girl. She was also not easy to deal with. It did not matter if she had more or less scandals.

If they had known earlier, they would not have let Yanyan dabble in the entertainment circle. However, she liked to act and was a sensitive girl. After seeing her depressed every day, the whole family had been worried.

She was an introvert to begin with, so she never said anything when she had something on her mind. The Old Master was afraid that she would really get sick from holding this in, so he could only let her go to the Film Academy. The shows she accepted were all handled by her father.

Mr. Song looked at Mrs. Song, his face ashen as he started lecturing her. “If you had not insisted on her entering the Film Academy, the acting profession, and the entertainment circle, would this have happened? Yanyan will be marrying into the Dongfang Family soon. You know what kind of family the Dongfang Family is. They will definitely not allow a tainted daughter-in-law to enter their family!”
