Chapter 158: Public Opposition
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lu Li felt his heart ache hearing Ling Xue’s words.
Pei Yu felt that his sister was being st*pid. She always put Lu Li first. His sister had no sense of self in this relationship.
Pei Yu couldn’t help but think of the time when Pei Xin and Lu Li were together. At that time, Pei Xin was always gentle and lively, and Lu Li had always doted on her.
If this had happened when Lu Li and Pei Xin had been together, Pei Xin would have cried and questioned Lu Li. She might even have scolded Lu Li.
In comparison, Pei Yu saw that Ling Xue was more pitiful than Pei Xin. Ling Xue had never said anything to blame Lu Li.
Pei Yu’s heart once again leaned towards Ling Xue’s side.
He felt that Ling Xue was used to living a hard life since she was young, so she did not dare to lose her temper with others.
Alternatively, Pei Xin was pampered like a little princess in the Pei family. No one dared to make things difficult for Pei Xin, so she lived wantonly and ostentatiously.
If Ling Xue’s identity had not been swapped, then Ling Xue would not have such a weak personality. Thinking of this, Pei Yu felt that Pei Xin owed Ling Xue so much more than five years in prison.
He saw the comments from the netizens. Some of them were attacking Ling Xue.
They were not Ling Xue and could not understand the pain of having their identities switched. Why should they forgive Pei Xin on behalf of Ling Xue?
Seeing that Lu Li was sincere in admitting his mistake, Pei Yu let the two of them have their alone time while he went back to the company to deal with company matters.
Only Lu Li and Ling Xue were left, so Lu Li spoke more freely. He directly said to Ling Xue, “I went to the bar to drink yesterday because I saw Pei Xin’s live stream. So many of them were praising her instead of hating her. You don’t deserve this. 1 hate myself for being too impulsive. 1 only managed to leave a dent during her live stream, but it backfired. Now people think that we’ve been bullying Pei Xin. She was the one who did something wrong, but now suddenly everyone is on her side. This makes me very indignant. That’s why I went to the bar to drink. I didn’t expect those two girls to be so bold. I chased them away, but they didn’t leave. Chen Gang was the one who provoked me when I fought with him. Ling Xue, you’re the only person I love. 1 don’t have feelings for Pei Xin. 1 just want to get justice for you.”
Ling Xue looked touched. She held Lu Li’s hand and said, “Of course, 1 know that you have me in your heart. I believe that you will not betray our relationship.”
The two of them quickly reconciled.
Lu Li brought up Pei Xin’s stream again and said angrily, “I’m going to start a stream too. 1’11 sell the products that Pei Xin sells, and the price will be much lower than hers. This way, people won’t go to her stream to buy things, but to me instead. When the boss of Pei Xin’s company sees that Pei Xin’s products aren’t being sold, Pei Xin will get fired.”
Ling Xue’s eyes lit up when she heard him. She praised him, “You’re so smart. The Pei family has many products in the industry. When you stream, you can sell our products. I will persuade my parents to give you the lowest price.”
Lu Li was happy to have Ling Xue’s support.
Lu Li had lunch with Ling Xue and took her downstairs for a walk before leaving the ward.
After Lu Li left, Ling Xue contacted her father and told him about the plan she had discussed with Lu Li. He immediately agreed with her.
He had long disliked Pei Xin’s way of using popularity to do live streams.
If it wasn’t for his age, he would have already gone to the live stream room to scold Pei Xin.
In his opinion, Pei Xin’s act of selling goods on a live stream was her lowering her own value. She was pulling strings to make money.
Although live-streaming was very popular now, and major streamers could make a lot of money from it, in the eyes of some noble families, live-streaming was the same as begging for money on the streets.
It was just like how celebrities earned a lot of money. They were very clear about this, but for the female celebrity industry, the rich also looked down on it even more.
This was because they knew very well that many female celebrities relied on being kept by men or sleeping with producers to obtain resources in the film and television industry..
