Chapter 150 Cyberbullying, Help from a Benefactor
"You don't know? It's that hottest female celebrity right now, the newly crowned Best Actress, Ning Duoduo."
"Didn't Qin Kun publicly belittle you and incite conflict online? She immediately posted content on her blog supporting you, and even specifically named and criticized Qin Kun, calling him a brainless idiot."
"Those words were so sharp and domineering that Qin Kun didn't dare utter a single word after being scolded by her!"
"Ning Duoduo's behavior is exactly like yours. If it hadn't been posted by Ning Duoduo's account, I would have thought that you typed every single word of those words."
Ning Duoduo?
Ning Yao seemed to have some impression of this female celebrity; she had met her briefly through a car window when passing by the airport before.
At the time, the driver's son seemed to be a huge fan of the female celebrity, and he even tried to get out of the car to ask for an autograph.
However, she had never had any contact with this Ning Duoduo, so how could the other party publicly support her?
"Didn't you ask Boss Luo for help? Maybe he couldn't stand seeing someone bullying your niece, so he took matters into his own hands." Seeing Ning Yao's clueless expression, Yang Dongcha casually sat down on the sofa, took the hot tea handed to her by the maid, took a sip, gestured towards Ning Yao, and continued, "Isn't Ning Duoduo an artist from Xian Yue Entertainment Company?"
Upon hearing this, Ning Yao belatedly realized what was happening.
She and Ning Duoduo didn't have much of a personal relationship, but Luo Xiangzhi was her uncle, so it's highly likely that her uncle was helping her behind the scenes.
As if on cue, Ning Yao's phone vibrated at that moment, and the caller ID showed it was her uncle.
Ning Yao answered the phone quickly, and Luo Xiangzhi's familiar, warm voice came from the other end.
"I saw Qin Kun's fans get splashed with cold drinks by you on the street. Are you alright?" Luo Xiangzhi called Ning Yao as soon as he saw the video, his eyes filled with undisguised worry.
Based on his impression of Ning Yao, she wasn't the kind of person who would make trouble unreasonably.
If the other party hadn't made the first move and done something excessive, Ning Yao definitely wouldn't have snatched the cold drink from her hand and thrown it back.
Moreover, Ning Yao's clothes in the video were an odd color, clearly indicating that someone had splashed something on her as well.
Ning Yao was stunned for a moment after hearing this. What Luo Xiangzhi said was really funny to her.
The video only showed her throwing the other person's cold drink. Luo Xiangzhi's first reaction upon seeing it was to ask if she was alright, rather than to blame her for attacking someone without knowing the facts.
This uncle practically had the word "protective" written all over his face, as if he were announcing it to the whole world.
"Thank you, Uncle. I'm fine." Ning Yao smiled faintly, then asked casually, "Those marketing accounts that mentioned me plotting against the Wen family matriarch suddenly went silent. Did you have someone handle that, Uncle?"
"Yes, I've already arranged for the public relations department to handle it. If there's anything else you need help with, just let me know."
Before Ning Yao could reply, Luo Xiangzhi continued, "I know you have a calm personality and don't take these things to heart, but don't underestimate cyberbullying; it can affect your real life."
"I have nothing to be afraid of about things I didn't do. Let them slander me, Uncle. You don't need to bother with these trivial matters. I can handle it. Let Lian Jiaorui make a scene. The bigger the commotion, the better..."
Upon hearing this, Yang Dongcha pouted unhappily and said, "Ning Yao, are you crazy? What do you mean by 'the bigger the commotion, the better'?"
"Do you know how many people are cursing you online right now? I bet in a few days, your company's products won't even be able to sell anymore!"
Ning Yao lazily raised her index finger to her lips, making a shushing gesture to signal Yang Dongcha to stop making trouble, and then slowly began to explain.
“I, Ning Yao, am not someone to be trifled with. I have my reasons for doing this, so you don’t need to worry about it. Just go about your own business.”
Ning Yao finished explaining her situation in a few words, her eyes still sleepy, and silently waited for Luo Xiangzhi's reply on the other end of the phone.
Having been in the entertainment industry for so many years, how could Luo Xiangzhi not understand what she meant?
Public opinion is currently on Lian Jiaorui's side. Everyone thinks that Lian Jiaorui is a victim, that she is innocent, and that she has been framed.
But once the impact of this matter grows, the more people know about it, the more embarrassing it will be for Jiao Rui when the truth comes out.
His niece, seemingly naive and indifferent to everything, subtly chose to first suppress and then elevate, causing Lian Jiaorui to fall hard from a great height.
They can endure grievances, know what situations are most advantageous to them, are not fixated on immediate gains, and have a long-term vision.
Luo Xiangzhi liked Ning Yao very much, always feeling that his niece had the intelligence of the Luo family.
"I understand what you mean. I won't interfere with public opinion anymore. But you need to be careful when you go out these days. Have a few more people with you." Luo Xiangzhi was still worried and gave a few more instructions.
"Yes, don't worry, I'll be careful." Ning Yao smiled and agreed, then reached out to pat the two children's heads, changing the subject.
"Mommy is talking to your great-uncle on the phone. Do you want to say hello to him?"
"Great! Great!" Ai Xiubao was very excited, showing great interest in her maternal great-uncle whom she had never met.
Luo Xiangzhi hung up the phone and quickly made another video call, wanting to see the two children.
After the video call connected, Luo Xiangzhi appeared on the screen wearing a clean and neat shirt, and the usually refined and serious man rarely showed a smile.
The room was surrounded by white walls and several mirrors, with dressing tables in front of them, making it look like a company dressing room.
"Wow, Grandpa is so handsome!" Wen Baoying took the video call first, stared at the screen for a while, and then called out to Luo Xiangzhi in a childish voice, her little face flushed.
"Hello, Grandpa, I'm Wen Aixiu. Mommy is very safe with me by her side, so please don't worry." Wen Aixiu raised his little fist and punched his chest twice, looking every bit like a little adult, which made Ning Yao and Yang Dongcha chuckle.
"I've prepared gifts for you. I'll come to visit you at home after I'm done with these last couple of days," Luo Xiangzhi said with a smile on the other end of the video call.
"Then Grandpa should come quickly!" Wen Baoying chuckled, her dark, grape-like eyes seeming to sparkle.
On the other end of the video, it seemed like someone was knocking on the door, and after the knocking, a man's voice could be faintly heard.
"Mr. Luo, we have a dinner appointment tonight, so we should go."
Without turning his head, Luo Xiangzhi said to the people behind him, "I know, you go to the car first and wait for me for a while."
Knowing that Luo Xiangzhi was busy with work, Ning Yao took her phone and said into the video call, "Uncle, you go ahead and do your work. I'm taking the kids to eat."
"I'm free tomorrow. I'll arrive at the villa around 5 p.m., is that alright?" Luo Xiangzhi replied gently.
“No problem,” Ning Yao said with a smile.
"Okay, see you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow."
