In the brightly lit bar, Luo Shuqi was drunk and staggered along the alley. A gust of cold wind blew, causing the passers-by to shiver. Luo Shuqi also sobered up and looked up to see the news on the television at the roadside store. Xia Sheng’s face flashed past.
Stunned for a while, he rubbed his eyes in disbelief and realized that the person on the television was indeed Xia Sheng. Luo Shuqi hurriedly searched for news related to Xia Sheng and saw the press conference not long ago.
Seeing Xia Sheng’s high-spirited manner, he recalled Xia Sheng’s attitude when she had dismissed him previously and felt angry. “Wow! You dare to trick me!”
He found the Huo Corporation and stormed in, only to be stopped by the front desk staff. Since he could not enter, Luo Shuqi was not helpless. He immediately stood at the door and shouted, “I want to see Xia Sheng, the boss of your company. I’m her old friend!” If he could not enter, he would use his relationship with Xia Sheng to threaten the staff at the front desk.
The staff members looked troubled. After some discussion, they had no choice but to inform Xia Sheng and let her decide.
Xia Sheng raised an eyebrow when she heard that Luo Shuqi was the one causing trouble. “He still has the cheek to come?” If Luo Shuqi didn’t come to the office, she would have forgotten about him. However, he was too thick-skinned.
The staff at the front desk waited for Xia Sheng to speak. It was up to Xia Sheng whether he was going to stay or leave.
“You want to see him?” Huo Ye suddenly spoke, his expression strange.
“He’s already here, it’s a little inappropriate if I don’t see him.” Xia Sheng shrugged helplessly. She had no choice now. If she couldn’t solve Luo Shuqi’s problem and allowed him to create a ruckus at the entrance, it might affect the company.
“Go ahead then.” Huo Ye frowned but pretended not to care. However, before Xia Sheng could walk out of the office, he suddenly choked and coughed. His heart-wrenching cough shocked Xia Sheng.
Xia Sheng quickly turned back and asked anxiously, “What’s wrong?”
“I choked on the water in a hurry, I’m fine. You can go see your friend first.” Huo Ye found an excuse and coughed a few times as he spoke. His acting was so mature that no one could find fault with him. In just a short while, Huo Ye’s handsome and pale face was stained with a strange redness. Although the coughing sound was reduced, it did not stop.
Xia Sheng couldn’t care less about Luo Shuqi. She waved her hand and chased the staff away. “Let that person leave.” She was busy trying to appease Huo Ye, patting his back in an attempt to alleviate his discomfort. After a long while, she broke out in a sweat.
Luo Shuqi waited outside for a long time, only to be chased away by Xia Sheng. He was so angry that he didn’t have time to flare up before he was chased away by the security guards. Left with no choice, he avoided the security guards at the entrance of the Huo Corporation. He found a nearby store and quietly stared at the entrance of the Huo Corporation.
Seeing that Xia Sheng had come out from work, Luo Shuqi tailed her and followed her eagerly.
Xia Sheng did not notice that someone was following him, but Huo Ye was very vigilant and found Luo Shuqi after a turn. He didn’t say anything. Instead, he contacted his assistant and asked him to stop Luo Shuqi at the intersection. Then, he sent Luo Shuqi home.
On the way home, Luo Shuqi tried to find an opportunity to escape. Unfortunately, Huo Ye’s men were watching him closely and he couldn’t resist. When he reached his house, he was dragged out of the car like a dead dog and thrown onto the ground.
The assistant calmly walked up to him and bent down to give him a warning, “Our boss is in a good mood and doesn’t want to hurt you, but if you appear at the entrance of the Huo Corporation again, you won’t be so lucky.”
Luo Shuqi didn’t even dare to breathe loudly until the assistant left.
Mother Luo hurried forward to comfort Luo Shuqi. “Son, it’s alright, we still have a long way to go. One day, that little b*tch will suffer.” They already had a plan. Now, it was just a matter of time. If they waited patiently, they could always turn the tables. At that time, Xia Sheng would be in dire straits and would be easily bullied by them.
However, this made Luo Shuqi feel even more aggrieved. He stomped his feet angrily. “I can’t accept this!”
Father Luo had a grave expression on his face as he reprimanded him earnestly, “Those who achieve great things don’t bother about trifles. You’d better restrain yourself and stop acting on your own.” Now that Xia Sheng was rich, the Luo family could no longer deal with her. However, that did not mean that the Luo family would give up.
Mother Luo couldn’t bear to see Luo Shuqi suffer any grievances, so she patiently and kindly advised him, “Son, listen to me, let’s endure it for a while longer. This matter will pass soon.”
However, Luo Shuqi couldn’t take it lying down no matter how much he thought about it. Instead, he got angry at his parents’ words and locked himself in his room. No matter how much Father Luo and Mother Luo knocked on the door, he refused to come out.
He stayed in his room and was crazily browsing the news related to Xia Sheng. Seeing that the other party was doing well, he was furious. Just as he was about to flare up, he suddenly thought of how he could use the power of public opinion to create trouble for Xia Sheng and disrupt her smooth-sailing life.
Hence, he spent money to buy a portion of Weibo’s VIP accounts and fabricated evidence. Then, he used these Weibo accounts to spread the news.
Soon, there was a wave of public opinion. Under the so-called evidence that Luo Shuqi had fabricated, many netizens started to criticize Xia Sheng, thinking that she was someone who liked the new and hated the old.
Xia Sheng’s identity was half-open on the Internet and was quickly dug out by some people.
Seeing that more and more people were joining in and scolding Xia Sheng, Luo Shuqi was pleased. “If you don’t let me have a good life, I’ll make sure you don’t have a good life either!”
He had thought that under the influence of public opinion, things would develop in the direction he wanted, but Xia Sheng’s sudden Weibo post disrupted all his plans.
Xia Sheng wrote a proposal openly, admitting that she was a person who liked the new and hated the old, she even praised Huo Ye’s ability.
The public opinion was instantly ignited because of Xia Sheng’s Weibo post.
The people who wanted to cause trouble saw that the situation was not looking good, so they shut their mouths and tucked their tails between their legs. They were not convinced, but with Huo Ye’s status, they had nothing to say. However, there was still a small group of people who were like tenacious cockroaches. They continued to jump around on the Internet, unwilling to give up.
On the other hand, Luo Shuqi woke up and realized that the online discussion was divided into two trends. When he saw Xia Sheng’s Weibo post, he was so angry that everything went black.
He flew into a rage out of humiliation and threw the phone away. “B*tch! What a greedy woman!”
Luo Shuqi decided to retaliate. After pondering for a long time, he came up with a plan..
