Chapter 114: The Direction of Public Opinion

At first, the majority didn't believe it, because the system was only heard of in novels. How could it possibly exist in real life?

However, some people started to stir things up. They listed one glorious deed after another of Ji Xiaoli. As a result, many people began to waver.

This just didn't seem scientific!

This unscientific energy paired with an unscientific system seemed to make a bit of sense.

Moreover, some extreme anti - rich people started to wildly attack Ji Xiaoli online.

"Lord Is Arrogant, So What?": I've finally figured it out. That Ji Xiaoli is not a business genius at all. She's just a monster with a cheat code!

"Sister Jiao Jiao": How can there be such a disgusting person in this world? She actually gets rich by stealing other people's luck. Thanks to Qin Xiangxiang for helping us recognize this thief's true face.

"Mr. Wu": Such parasites should be sent to Taoist temples and Buddhist monasteries for the masters to exorcise them!

"Spirited Young Guy": That's right. Ji Xiaoli should be locked up directly, and then the temple should catch her and make her hand over the system!

There were countless such remarks, and more and more people began to question Ji Xiaoli.

Looking at these filthy comments online, Ji Xiaoli clenched her fists tightly.

She was about to scroll down further when Zheng Nanfeng stopped her. "Don't look at the rest. There's nothing worth seeing."

Ji Xiaoli pursed her lips and didn't listen to Zheng Nanfeng. She continued to scroll down with her finger. "I have to face these eventually. Don't stop me."

She wanted to read all the words that insulted her and remember them clearly!

Only in this way could she remember this lesson and not make the same mistake again.

"Actually..." Zheng Nanfeng hesitated, but finally let her be. "Then you can look."

Ji Xiaoli gave a soft hum and continued to scroll down.

As a result, as soon as she scrolled down, her face immediately changed.

She thought the sarcasm just now was the limit, but she didn't expect the following remarks to be even more excessive.

Because the following comments not only attacked her but also started to scold Ji Xiaoli's parents.

The milder ones said that her parents couldn't recognize people well and had raised such a monster.

The more vicious ones directly cursed Ji Xiaoli's ancestors for eighteen generations, saying that if they could give birth to Ji Xiaoli, maybe Ji Changmin and Wei Yanlan weren't even human.

Basically, when they started scolding later, it was the whole family.

Zheng Nanfeng helplessly covered her phone. "Xiaoli, I told you not to look at these."

He knew that Ji Xiaoli cared very much about her parents, so he originally didn't want her to see these.

Ji Xiaoli understood this, but her emotions were extremely turbulent at the moment.

"How dare they? How dare they do this?" Ji Xiaoli was extremely angry. "If they want to scold me, that's fine. But why do they have to involve my parents?"

If they scolded her a few more times, Ji Xiaoli would just take it as a lesson. But those vicious words were directed at her most cherished parents. How could this not make her angry?

"Xiaoli, don't look anymore." Zheng Nanfeng tried to stop her.

Ji Xiaoli directly turned around to face him and continued to scroll down.

Misfortunes never come singly.

These negative remarks spread at an extremely fast speed, causing the shares of Ji's company to drop by several points.

Ji Xiaoli clearly knew what this meant.

It meant that because of her alone, Ji Changmin's painstakingly - built company had evaporated tens of billions of market value.

Not only Ji's Group, but also Zheng Nanfeng's Zheng's Group had seen its shares drop by several points because of this incident.

What was even more serious was that their public favorability had become a synonym for negativity.

Ji Xiaoli's heart was bleeding. She gave a bitter smile. "Nanfeng, I'm sorry to Mom and Dad, and I'm also sorry to you."

If it weren't for her, none of these things would have happened.

Zheng Nanfeng immediately frowned. "Xiaoli, this is not your fault. It's all that woman Qin Xiangxiang who is causing trouble behind the scenes."

"But it's still because of me!" Ji Xiaoli couldn't help raising her voice. "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have..."

She immediately fell into self - blame and regret.

"Xiaoli, calm down." Zheng Nanfeng wanted to persuade her, but Ji Xiaoli just wouldn't listen.

Just then, a phone call suddenly came in.

Ji Xiaoli hung up without even looking. She was in no mood to answer any phone calls at the moment.

But the phone rang again and again, so Ji Xiaoli simply turned it off.

Then Zheng Nanfeng's phone rang. He originally wanted to turn it off too, but when he saw the name, he immediately answered it.

And he answered it right in front of Ji Xiaoli. "Aunt Wei, what's up?"

Wei Yanlan's voice sounded a bit anxious. "Nanfeng, have you seen Xiaoli? I can't get through to her phone."

Ji Xiaoli's face turned pale. Only then did she realize whose call it was just now.

Zheng Nanfeng glanced at her and his expression remained unchanged. "Aunt Wei, Xiaoli is with me. Her phone just ran out of battery and turned off. I'll give my phone to her now."

Ji Xiaoli gave a grateful smile and quickly took the phone.

But after answering the phone, she didn't know what to say. "Mom, I'm sorry to you guys."

Wei Yanlan sighed. "Silly girl, what do you have to be sorry for?"

Ji Xiaoli felt extremely self - blame. "It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, the company wouldn't have suddenly had problems."

"This is not your fault." Wei Yanlan said seriously. "Actually, this public opinion is not because of you. It's a trap set by your father's business rival on purpose to harm us."

Ji Xiaoli was stunned. "Isn't it because of Qin Xiangxiang?"

Wei Yanlan sneered. "That ungrateful wretch doesn't have that much ability. It's just that someone is jealous of your father's success in making money, so they deliberately designed this frame - up. Xiaoli, don't worry about this. Your father and I will handle these things."

Ji Xiaoli suddenly felt her nose a bit sour. "Okay, I'll listen to Mom."

The situation was so bad now, but they still called to care about her. How could she not be touched?

Wei Yanlan said reassuringly, "Good girl, don't worry. Your father and I will definitely solve this matter for you. As long as we're here, no one can hurt you!"

Ji Xiaoli tried hard to put on a smile. "Okay, as long as you guys are here, I'm not afraid of anyone."

This made Wei Yanlan breathe a sigh of relief. "Okay, then give the phone to Nanfeng. I have something to say to him."

"Okay."

Zheng Nanfeng took the phone. "Aunt Wei, do you have any instructions for me?"

Wei Yanlan said directly, "We're going to fight against that old rival these days. Could you please take care of Xiaoli?"

Zheng Nanfeng patted his chest. "Don't worry, I'll definitely take good care of her."

Ji Xiaoli suddenly felt a bit embarrassed. "Mom, I'm already an adult. Why do I still need someone to take care of me?"

Wei Yanlan said firmly, "Just listen to me on this. That's it."

After saying that, she directly hung up the phone.

Afraid that she would think too much, Zheng Nanfeng directly confiscated Ji Xiaoli's phone and told her to stay at home quietly.

At first, Ji Xiaoli was obedient, but somehow, she always felt a bit restless.

Ji Xiaoli: System, do you know how things are going with my parents?

The system rarely appeared once.

[According to statistics, the shares of Ji's Group and Zheng's Group have dropped by a few more points. Judging from the current trend, they are very likely to go bankrupt.]
