Chapter 617: self-righteous love
Chapter 617 Self-Righteous Love
She walked to the door of the guest room.
Looking out through the peephole, I saw a tall man standing outside the door, wearing a very decent smoky gray plaid shirt with fine dark patterns, and his eyes were as serious as a god's.
It was indeed Pei Ziheng.
He was holding an exquisite tray in his hand, with apples sliced crosswise and a variety of fruit salads, with mint leaves and honey sauce, which looked sweet and beautiful.
"I'll bring you food," Pei Ziheng said warmly on the phone, "Xiao Ling, open the door." When she was in a bad mood, she loved snacks, so he asked the kitchen to make a fruit salad.
But she said: "Thank you, you can go back, I won't eat."
He asked: "Why?"
“You know why.”
“Because of Li Lei?”
“I’m his girlfriend.” Xia Ling said. In the past, many conflicts broke out between her and Li Lei because of Pei Ziheng's incident. Now that Li Lei was gone, it was a sensitive period, and she didn't want anything to happen again.
Pei Ziheng said: "You can't survive alone, let me take care of you." He wanted to take advantage of Li Lei's absence. Otherwise, what was the purpose of deliberately driving that man out of the country?
Xia Ling said, "Let's go." She hung up the phone.
Pei Ziheng called out twice: "Xiao Ling, Xiao Ling."
However, there was only deathly silence all around. Is she so determined to draw a clear line? Pei Ziheng's eyes were dim. It's useless. Xiao Ling, you are so fragile. You have lived in a cage made of crystal since you were a child, and you don't know the sufferings of the world. Without the protection of a man, you won't be able to hold on for too long...
soon…
Soon you will come back to me.
Pei Ziheng turned around and left her door.
The next day, Xia Ling got up and watched the news.
The situation worsened, with people criticizing her everywhere. In comparison, her voice that said good things seemed so weak. Sister Maina was worried that she couldn't think about it, so she came to accompany her: "Xiao Ling, please be patient for a few more days. The company has already started to deal with these things, and it will be over soon."
She nodded weakly.
At this juncture, she didn't want to cause trouble for everyone, so she said to Sister Maina: "Go and do your work, I can do it myself." She sent Sister Maina away and stayed alone in the hotel in a daze. She originally wanted to practice singing. But I couldn't practice, so I spent the night like this.
A waiter knocked on the door and said that a fan had given her a gift.
This was the only news that comforted her in the past two days. She thanked the waiter, took the big gift box back to the room, and opened it on the sofa.
The pink wrapping paper peeled off layer by layer, revealing the broken things inside - it was a doll with severed arms and legs, blood splashed on it, the neck was twisted to the side, and the eyes were gouged out. On the blood-stained card on the side were these large words: Ye Xingling, die!
She screamed and dropped the things in her hands.
The doll looked so terrifying, its empty eyes stared blankly at her, and its smile was weird and twisted. She didn't know who was playing the prank, which made her shudder.
The guest room was empty except for her.
She felt a chill on her back and rang the bell randomly with her fingers, asking the waiter to come in and clean.
Not long after, the waiter came. Seeing the scene in front of me, I was shocked. I suppressed my nausea and swept away the mess of broken doll limbs and blood, then turned around and left. "No," Xia Ling called him, "and that, that piece of paper." She pointed at the blood-stained card with trembling hands. The words "Ye Xingling, go to hell" were shocking.
The waiter frowned, picked up the card, threw it into the trash can, and walked out with the trash can. When he walked to the door, he suddenly couldn't help but turn around and said to her: "Ms. Ye, if you don't do anything bad, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. Although this is not what I should say as a waiter, but it is what I do as a waiter. What a conscientious person must say - what you did to the children in the orphanage is too much."
Xia Ling didn’t expect him to say that, and was stunned for a moment.
The waiter has already walked out.
She squatted down sadly. Why, they all thought it was her fault?
This is not the first time that she has been criticized by thousands of people. She was blocked by Pei Ziheng in her previous life and had a quarrel with Xia Yu in this life. Public opinion has pushed her to the forefront... She has survived them all.
But this time it was different. The lives of her two children were so heavy that she couldn't breathe.
Subconsciously, she grabbed her cell phone and dialed a familiar number.
The phone rang three times and was answered. Li Lei's voice came from the other end: "Hello, Xiao Ling? How are you? Why are you calling me so late?"
"Li Lei..." She only said these two words, but she didn't know what to say. She just wanted to hear his voice, maybe, it would make her feel less sad.
"Xiao Ling," Li Lei said to her on the other end of the phone, "I'm sorry that I left without saying goodbye the night before yesterday. There was a very urgent situation at the headquarters and I had to come back to deal with it. You have to take good care of yourself, you know."
"I..." She heard the background sound from his side, the noisy voices of people coming and going, and sporadic gunshots. Suddenly, she felt that the depression about herself was so insignificant.
"Are you busy?" she asked Li Lei, "Will I disturb you?"
He replied something.
There was signal interference on the phone and she couldn't hear anything clearly.
If you dial again, you won’t be able to get through.
That night, she tossed and turned, and what repeatedly came to her mind were the dirty words on the Internet, and the sound of gunfire in the background when she was on the phone with Li Lei. where is he? Are you okay?
Everything is unknown.
Tianyi's crisis public relations team worked very hard. However, without Li Lei in the country, and many of the team's elites were transferred to support the headquarters, they were unable to completely control public opinion in a short period of time.
The insults against her are still overwhelming.
A few days later, she read an article that she felt was aggrieved for her - "Where does Li Lei place Ye Xingling in regard to self-righteous love?" 》
She scanned the entire article at a glance.
The author’s point of view is very clear:
When the anthelmintic drug incident first broke out, Lin Yunan, an agent, and the top management of the charity foundation made the right response and asked her to apologize first no matter what. Originally, the next opportunity to apologize would have largely calmed the public's anger, but that incident was messed up by Li Lei.
Li Lei directly interrupted the press conference and prevented her from apologizing to the public, claiming that she had no responsibility.
At first glance, Boss Li is very handsome, a pure man, and very protective of his beloved woman. But in reality? He has finished playing handsome and won a good reputation for protecting his girlfriend, but where did he leave his girlfriend? These days, so many people have accused Ye Xingling of relying on her body to get to the top, of being a coward, despicable, despicable...
Aren't these related to Li Lei's stoppage?
