At midnight, the store’s transaction volume rose sharply. Everyone in the studio was busy, but they all had smiles on their faces, and the atmosphere was very relaxed.
Shutong didn’t know how long they would be busy, so she had already sent Ji Chu away.
It was almost time for the livestream to end when Shutong noticed the message in the comment section.
“Did Ji Chu really force you to leave the house? That scumbag!”
“Ji Chu is so disgusting!”
“Young lady, please stop live streaming. Something big happened on Weibo!”
“Forcing an abortion is truly intolerable! No matter how handsome he is, he’s still a scumbag!”
“I feel so bad for you, young lady. You used to have a house full of action figures and blind boxes, never worried about food and drink, and lived happily every day. But now you can only bury yourself in work and live stream until late at night!”
“Hug, little sister! But becoming strong is the best way forward. Keep going, Miss!”
Shutong leaned over to the phone, a little confused, “What happened?”
The comments section was abuzz with chatter, and no one could clearly explain what was going on. Shutong temporarily left the livestream, and then Xiao Xiao came over to tell her.
“Weibo’s trending topics are saying Ji Chu forced you to leave the house and have an abortion. Then someone revealed he’d registered the ‘Shen Shutong’ trademark, so Ji Chu got the flak. Now everyone is telling you to stay away from scumbags.”
Shutong took her phone. Her family hadn’t called her, so they probably didn’t know yet.
She checked Weibo and saw that Ji Chu’s name was indeed on the trending search list. It was rising so quickly that it was impossible that there was no one behind it.
The photo claiming to have forced her to have an abortion was completely outrageous. An account claiming to be a nurse had already debunked the rumor, saying Shutong only had gastroenteritis. However, no one believed it, and they even thought that the nurse was trying to defend Ji Chu!
The nurse was so angry that she deleted her Weibo account and stopped responding.
Netizens, regardless of the truth, started cursing Ji Chu after seeing the photo and related revelations.
“I checked, and it’s true. The Shen Shutong trademark was actually registered by Ji Chu’s company. What’s the point of her being so popular now? Will Ji Chu not even let her use her name in the future?”
“It’s terrifying when you think about it. This man looks very vicious, maybe even involved in domestic violence. The woman can only rely on the world of toys, spending all day playing with those gadgets to comfort herself!”
“Shen Shutong has indeed disappeared for a few days and only appeared in the live broadcast room tonight. She also looks awful!”
…
Shutong sighed deeply. It was just outrageous.
Facing the worried looks of several people in the studio, she had to defend Ji Chu, “It’s really gastroenteritis, and our relationship is better than before.”
“What about registered trademarks?”
“I asked him to register it. I want to be a designer, right? I’m worried that if I become popular one day, someone else will register first, so I’m taking precautions.”
Zhang Yao: “Tongtong, you’re so thoughtful.”
Ai Lin: “But I didn’t expect it would screw Ji Chu.”
Shutong: “…”
Even Zhang Yao and the others were swayed by the conspiracy theories on the Internet, not to mention those netizens who didn’t know the full story and didn’t even know Ji Chu. They believed whatever they saw, and refuting the rumors seemed to be defending Ji Chu and whitewashing him.
Shutong posted on Weibo late at night: “No trademark scam, I forced him to do it. No divorce, just a joke. No abortion, gastroenteritis.”
The accompanying image was a medical bill from a few days ago.
Netizen: This woman has been brainwashed, so pitiful. Please help her!
Shutong: ??? I really am not!
Did she really have to brainwash every netizen by telling them that she and Ji Chu were living happily together, making a lot of money, and being free from harassment from disgusting people?
They would only think that she was completely poisoned by Ji Chu.
However, Ji Chu’s company quickly issued a statement, and this Weibo post did have some effect, awakening some netizens to their senses and making them less prone to taking sides.
“System, who is this? Zheng Yin?”
System: [Zheng Yin, Qu Yiming, Gu Qingqing, Lin family.]
Shutong: “…”
Why are they all targeting Ji Chu?
What kind of weird plot line is this with the Lin family?
Shutong then called Ji Chu.
“Hubby, you’re so miserable.”
Her words started out sympathetic, but there wasn’t a hint of heaviness in her tone.
Ji Chu, on the other end of the phone, was stunned for a moment. Hearing this address from her mouth made him want to drive back to her and give her a good hug.
