The group turned to look at Zhou Yao’s phone.
“She posted our group photo and explained to everyone that you weren’t speeding, but you got into a car accident because you were careless. She hopes everyone won’t misunderstand you…” Zhou Yao said with a complicated expression.
Luo Xi frowned. While it was a kind gesture, it also indirectly confirmed to everyone that Luo Xi was the one driving during the car accident without clarifying the situation. Simply saying that it was because of carelessness left room for suspicion.
And by posting their group photo, it made it more likely that people would believe her.
“It’s obviously not Xixi who drove the car, and she said weren’t speeding?” Hua Feifei frowned.
Silence fell over them.
Was it intentional, or did she just overlook the problem with her wording?
“Xixi, just tell everyone I was the one driving. It has nothing to do with you.” Hua Feifei knew that Luo Xi was a celebrity. If she was really wronged, how unlucky would that be?
She felt frustrated with Chu Mei about why she posted that, especially since during the drive, she clearly intended to turn to the side where there was an open space to avoid any collision. But when Chu Mei suddenly grabbed the steering wheel, the car lost control and hit the tree.
Although she was anxious at that time, she didn’t lose her mind. When Chu Mei grabbed the steering wheel, she was simply stunned.
Later, she didn’t want to tell everyone for fear of being seen as shirking responsibility.
She understood that in a moment of crisis, Chu Mei’s actions might have been unintentional.
So she did not blame Chu Mei, but she didn’t expect Chu Mei to suddenly post that in Weibo. While it seemed like an explanation and speaking up for Luo Xi, the increasingly fierce scolding below suggested that such an explanation was only adding fuel to the fire.
“Don’t worry. We just need to find the surveillance footage from the accident to prove our innocence.” Luo Xi reassured her after seeing the worry on her face.
Hua Feifei felt guilty. “I’m sorry, Xixi. It’s all my fault that you’re suffering like this. You got hurt and now people are criticizing you.”
Luo Xi shook her head helplessly.
“Actually… I think I saw Chu Mei grab the steering wheel, which caused the car to lose control…” Jiang Yanyan, who usually blended into the background, suddenly spoke up.
Everyone turned to her.
Jiang Yanyan quickly clarified, “Maybe she was just panicking at that time, thinking Feifei would crash, so she grabbed the steering wheel. I’m not blaming her.”
Hua Feifei hesitated and said, “I was obviously trying to steer to the side. I was nervous at that time, and then she just grabbed the steering wheel and slammed the gas instead of the brake. Maybe she mistook it, so…”
Everyone began to understand the situation better at her words.
In the heat of the moment, no one knew if Chu Mei’s actions were intentional or not.
Now she posted a post like this in Weibo.
It was difficult to say much but they all felt a slight discomfort.
After all, Luo Xi was now a public figure. Every action would be scrutinized. Chu Mei should have at least discussed posting the photo in Weibo with Luo Xi first.
“Anan!” Luo Xi called out.
Anan, who was guarding outside, entered and asked, “Young Madam, how can I assist you?”
“Please check the surveillance footage from the accident site today to see if we can find anything.” Luo Xi said.
Anan nodded seriously and left.
Meanwhile, Xu Guan, who had been managing the situation, had already instructed the police not to disclose any details. But who would have thought that it would still be posted by someone with bad intentions.
