Chapter 64 : Face It
Feeling Mo Yu’s broad and muscular chest as she listened to his steady heartbeat, Fang Liu felt an unprecedented sense of security. Perhaps, she had unknowingly developed a reliance toward Mo Yu.
No matter how much Fang Liu resisted, she would eventually begin to covet Mo Yu’s kindness as time progressed. As a result, Fang Liu became more reluctant to leave him.
Fang Liu sighed and stretched out her arms to tightly hug Mo Yu. “I know that you’re more than capable of protecting me, but people can say some really nasty things. Oppressing these people will not stop them from spreading more rumors about me. Don’t worry. I can protect myself. However, I also want everyone to know the truth.”
The netizens were all bark and no bite. The people who influenced public opinion continued to hide in the shadows, verbally assaulting Fang Liu as though they were cursing her into eternal damnation.
Even if Mo Yu were to apprehend the people who scorned Fang Liu, they would simply talk about her privately.
Sometimes avoiding the problem wasn’t the solution. One would have to face the music head-on.
However, Fang Liu was not the fragile woman everyone thought she was. After living in the Fang family home for more than a decade, she had learned to be strong and independent. Fang Liu was willing to tackle the problem personally.
Seeing Fang Liu’s fierce determination, Mo Yu finally agreed to her request.
Fang Liu once again sought the two reporters she brought to the Mo Corporation previously while Mo Yu was in a coma. After a short discussion, Fang Liu and the reporters decided on a time and date to interview her.
Meanwhile, the rumors across the internet were continuing to bustle. There seemed to be someone behind the scenes that was fanning the flames, causing the netizens to riot.
Every time the gossip concerning Fang Liu was to recede, a group of internet trolls would appear and continue to tarnish Fang Liu’s reputation even more.
While Wang Liang was continuing to stir up trouble online, he noticed that there seemed to be another person behind the scenes trying to hinder Fang Liu. This person was unknowingly helping Wang Liang ruin Fang Liu’s image.
However, Wang Liang did not personally hate Fang Liu. He was simply trying to please Fang Yan. He couldn’t understand why someone else would hate Fang Liu with such a passion and why they were also trying to destroy Fang Liu’s reputation.
When Wang Liang spoke to Fang Yan about this, she replied enthusiastically, “Who cares who that other person is? The enemy of our enemy is our friend. Ugh, I regret not taking nude photos of Fang Liu when I had the chance. If I did, then Fang Liu wouldn’t have the willingness to live anymore! What a shame.”
As Wang Liang heard Fang Yan speak cruelly about her stepsister, he felt a chill go down his spine. He began to think that Fang Yan was simply too ruthless.
However, Wang Liang had admired Fang Yan ever since they were kids, so he turned a blind eye and did whatever Fang Yan asked of him.
When Wang Liang fell in love with Fang Yan, he lost all sense of self-respect and hopelessly pursued her. Fang Yan was the most important thing to him.
Just as the gossip surrounding Fang Liu began to worsen, the southern city news network suddenly reported that Fang Liu would be appearing in an exclusive interview.
News of the interview caused an enormous shockwave that spanned the whole of Southern City. Everyone thought that Fang Liu was simply a coward that would hide from the public. However, they did not expect Fang Liu to publicly address the rumors surrounding her.
Because the incident concerning Fang Liu was so popular, the southern city news network would live stream the exclusive interview on TV and all social media networks.
On the day of the interview, there were eighty million viewers almost immediately, and as the countdown for the live stream began, the number of viewers continued to increase.
Everyone was curious to see what kind of person this dimwitted woman truly was because Fang Liu had never addressed the rumors personally. They simply thought that Fang Liu was too ashamed to face the public.
The news network’s host was shocked at the number of viewers waiting to watch the interview. She had been a host for many years, but she had never seen such a large number of viewers before.
“When will the interview start?”
“I’m curious to see if this dimwit can clear her name. How shameless of her to get pregnant before getting married.”
“How can such a person marry into a wealthy family? Is her husband blind?”
“She’s so dumb and ugly.”
The host was about to read the comments aloud to liven up the atmosphere, but countless insults and slurs caused the host to fall silent.
‘It seems that Young Madam Fang is going to have a hard time salvaging what’s left of her reputation.’
If the head of the news network weren’t concerned about the number of views, he probably wouldn’t have agreed to give Fang Liu an exclusive interview.
It was finally time for the interview, so the host cleared her throat and said, “Next, let’s welcome the wife of the CEO of the Mo Corporation—Young Madam Fang!”
The cameraman turned the camera toward Fang Liu, who was wearing a white dress as she walked onto the stage and sat next to the host.
The barrage of comments suddenly stopped for a moment.
Then someone said in disbelief, “F*ck, I take back what I said. Is she truly Mo Yu’s wife? She’s beautiful!”
