Married by Accident: The Rich CEO's Deeply Rooted Pampering Tactics

Chapter 117 The truth cannot be hidden, and the false cannot become true.

"Stop bringing up media people. If she didn't do it, why would people say those things? There's no smoke without fire. The public has discerning eyes. Are you saying we've wronged her?"

"That's right, Bai Ge, don't be fooled by her. Maybe she's just faking it all along."

"That's it."

These are the voices of other colleagues, each one sharp and sarcastic; they must have said something unpleasant beforehand.

"You, you all!" Bai Ge was clearly unable to argue with the crowd and was feeling isolated and helpless when she saw Qiao Luo standing at the door. Afraid that she had overheard what she had just said, she quickly stepped forward.

"Luo Luo, you're back. Don't take what they said to heart. They've just been blinded by public opinion."

Hearing Bai Ge's comforting words, Qiao Luo felt very gratified. She nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't be angry. After all, they can say whatever they want. However, I think it's quite pathetic that a senior media professional like me doesn't have his own professional judgment and is led by the nose by online opinions. I'm afraid all these years of professional career have been wasted."

Qiao Luo deliberately spoke these words loudly, intending them for those who gossiped about her behind her back to hear. Those people knew she was not someone to be trifled with, and upon hearing these words, they immediately fell silent.

Seeing this, she stopped and said apologetically to Bai Ge, "I'm sorry to have troubled you, because I've suffered a lot of grievances."

Bai Ge shook his head. "No, I just couldn't stand listening to them and argued with them for a bit. By the way, you were called back by the old witch, right? She's been looking for you. You should go over there quickly."

Qiao Luo nodded, then walked to Lin Mei's office door and knocked.

"Enter."

Lin Mei's voice came from inside.

Qiao Luo pushed open the door and went in, only to find Lin Mi inside. Before she could speak, Lin Mi spoke first.

"Hey, isn't this our magazine's internet celebrity? Even after all this, you still dare to come back? Aren't you afraid of getting rotten eggs thrown at you?"

Lin Mei's tone was mocking.

Qiao Luo frowned. She and Lin Mei had never had any conflicts. However, Lin Mei was always arrogant and liked to flatter the powerful and belittle the weak. Her mockery was in line with her usual style.

“Why wouldn’t I dare to answer? I haven’t done anything immoral,” Qiao Luo retorted.

Lin Mi scoffed.

"Really? So all those comments online are fake?"

Qiao Luo remained composed and dignified. "The truth will out, and falsehood will become truth. I believe that anyone with eyes and judgment can see that someone is deliberately manipulating things behind the scenes. As for those who can't see it and are being led astray by online opinions, they are either blind or brainless."

"You...you insulted me?" Lin Mi was a little angry.

Qiao Luo: "I'm criticizing those brainless people who believe everything they hear. What? Are you one of them?"

"you!"

"Alright, what are you all arguing about? Shut up."

Seeing that her niece was not gaining the upper hand, Lin Mei had no choice but to speak up to stop her.

Lin Mi stopped there, but looked unwilling.

Qiao Luo also put away her sharp words towards Lin Mi and said to Lin Mei, "Editor Lin, you saw it too, I didn't start it."

She tried to explain to Lin Mei, but Lin Mei clearly didn't want to listen and only said to Lin Mi, "You go out first, I have something to say to Qiao Luo."

Lin Mi reluctantly left in her high heels, not forgetting to glare at Qiao Luo hatefully before she left.

Qiao Luo ignored her and instead asked Lin Mei, "Editor Lin, did you need something from me?"

Lin Mei nodded, then returned to her seat and said to her, "As you can see, your story has spread not only online, but throughout the entire company, even among the higher-ups. So, what are you planning to do about it?"
