After hanging up the phone, Song Luokui also went to reply to the messages from Zhang Xiyue and others.
"I'm fine, my brother took care of it. I didn't expect to be photographed while having dinner with family tonight."
Zhang Xiyue: "Has your brother offended someone recently?"
Song Luokui: "Maybe, but the issue should be resolved soon. I'm okay."
Sure enough, shortly after, all the information about her on the internet was deleted, leaving no trace, except for those saved on people's phones, but they couldn't be shared.
Not far from downstairs, Chi Yu arrived too. Song Luokui sneaked out and ran to the car, and Chi Yu immediately hugged her, "Were you scared just now?"
Song Luokui shook her head, "No, I was just caught off guard for a moment. Luckily my parents had already left, they weren't photographed." Otherwise, it would have escalated into another issue.
Chi Yu stroked her head, then caressed her face, and then held her hand, "My baby did great!"
Song Luokui blushed a little, "I'm over twenty years old, not a baby."
Chi Yu: "You'll always be my baby."
The two cuddled in the car for another hour. Chi Yu didn't let her go back until it was too late. He kissed her forehead, "Get a good rest tonight, don't worry about anything. Everything will be resolved tomorrow."
"Okay."
Song Luokui sneaked back home and slept well that night. The next day when she arrived at school, some people still glanced at her secretly, mainly surprised that Song Luokui was related to Song, the senior.
However, there weren't many people, and everyone had their own business. Xu Jiarong came over to show concern, "Nothing happened last night? Those people were really despicable."
Someone nearby echoed, "Yes, yes. Really despicable."
Song Luokui smiled at them, "I'm fine, thank you for your concern."
...
At 9 a.m., just when everyone was starting work, Songhua Technology posted several Weibo messages.
The first one was about the "underage scumbag Song" incident, claiming that the so-called "scumbag Song" was actually someone else, and the "underage" person was already twenty-two years old.
Then there were the allegations about those women's photos, which were all fabricated lies. Even the picture of Song Luosheng being knocked down during the opening ceremony speech was used to spread rumors, but a video showed that Song Luosheng was only knocked down, and the girl who hit him was even pre-arranged.
Finally, about last night's incident, "Mr. Song was merely having a family dinner when he was surrounded and subjected to such disgusting questioning. Who was behind disturbing Mr. Song's family! Ms. Song was frightened last night, and Songhua Technology will sue all those involved!"
"Ms. Song? The beautiful lady last night was Ms. Song? Is she the sister or younger sister of the Chairman of Song?"
"But a wife can also be called Ms. Song, right?"
"...I'm really lucky. They said Mr. Song is currently single and doesn't even have a girlfriend. This is obviously a family member."
"I only want to know who Songhua has offended?"
"It must be the Chairman of Song who offended someone?"
"Could it be the Shan Yu Group? The two are competitors."
"Why doesn't Songhua make Song's younger sister their spokesperson? If so, I'll definitely buy their products!"
...
Until the afternoon, a financial news report that didn't attract much attention was about a certain executive of XX Company being investigated, and the company was shut down for rectification due to tax evasion and other illegal activities...
That night, when Song Luokui returned home, she thought there would be no one at home except Aunt Gui. But as she went upstairs, she heard noises.
When she reached the study room, she heard the sound of whipping and rushed in, "Dad! Don't hit my brother anymore!"
At that moment, Song Luosheng was kneeling on the ground, his upper body clothed in a shirt with visible streaks, indicating the injuries underneath.
When Song Moqian saw her approach, he immediately stopped the cane in his hand, "Luokui, your brother made a mistake and needs to be punished."
Song Luokui felt very sorry for him, "What mistake did my brother make?"
Song Moqian: "Allowing you to be frightened was his mistake. Luokui, you've grown up too. In our position, one wrong move and everyone will fall into a bad situation. So I always tell you, think thrice before doing anything."
"This is a lesson for your brother. He's still young, and the mistake he made wasn't that big. But what if it happens in the future..."
Song Luokui pleaded, "Dad, I was just caught off guard yesterday, I'm fine. Don't punish my brother anymore, he's always been protecting me." Song Luokui hugged Song Luosheng tightly.
Song Moqian: "Since your sister is pleading, we'll stop here today. Remember what I said."
Song Luosheng: "Yes, father."
After Song Moqian left, Song Luokui immediately helped Song Luosheng back to his room, took out the medical kit, "Brother, take off your clothes, let me have a look. If it's too serious, we'll go to the hospital. Dad has been too strict with you."
She even wondered if the reason Song Luosheng went down that path in the book was due to family factors. Her father had always been very lenient with her, but he was indeed very strict with Song Luosheng. But she had never imagined that her grown-up brother would still be beaten by her father.
When Song Luosheng took off his clothes, Song Luokui saw several scars on his back. She was grateful that she came home early, otherwise her brother might have been beaten more.
Song Luokui touched it, and Song Luosheng let out a "hiss" sound. She immediately retracted her hand, "Brother, does it hurt a lot?"
Song Luosheng: "I'm fine, it doesn't hurt."
Song Luokui slapped him directly, "Slap!" Song Luosheng howled and almost jumped up. Song Luokui: "...Still saying it doesn't hurt?"
Song Luosheng: "Haha. I'm fine."
Song Luokui applied iodine to disinfect the wounds, "I never thought Dad would hit you. This has nothing to do with your relationship."
Song Luosheng: "It was my fault."
Song Luokui: "What fault? We're the victims, how can the victims be at fault?"
Song Luosheng: "Allowing you to be frightened by those people was my fault."
Song Luokui: "...Brother, don't say that. Saying I was frightened makes me feel embarrassed. I'm a boss now, how could I be frightened by a few reporters?"
Song Luosheng patted her head, "Luokui just needs to be happy, no matter whether being a boss or doing anything else. Anyone who wants to harm you is unforgivable. Father was right to hit me, and I share the responsibility, whether it was the previous kidnapping incident or this time."
Song Luokui: "Brother, you're only a little older than me. I'm an adult now and free to make my own choices. This is not your fault, but those bad people's fault. I didn't expect Father to hit you. Why didn't Father go and hit the bad guys instead?"
Song Luosheng: "How do you know Father didn't hit the bad guys?" Without his own father's help, he wouldn't have been able to resolve all the issues so quickly.
Song Luokui sighed, "Okay, I wronged Father. I guess it's because I made you all worry." Song Luokui sighed.
