Chapter 57 -57 Old Mr. Fu Coughing Blood and Falling into a Coma?

Before Lu Qianrou posted this apology on Weibo, the whole internet had almost cursed her to death.

Netizens criticized her for two main reasons.

First, it clearly wasn’t Lu Qianrou who saved the person, yet her TikTok post was vague and didn’t firmly deny it; second, she knew the Mayor’s Wife was also mistaken, yet she acted in front of the camera as if she really was the one who saved the person.

She was utterly manipulative and extremely hypocritical.

But once this Weibo post was released, things changed.

In these few hundred words, Lu Qianrou first apologized to netizens right off the bat, expressing her attitude and calming their anger.

Then, she explained the two issues.

First, she didn’t intend to impersonate someone else, she clarified on TikTok right away when she saw the news last night, but unexpectedly, everyone didn’t believe her.

Thus, being seen as manipulative turned into being criticized for imprecise expression in her text, which led to the misunderstanding.

Second, she didn’t intentionally lie in front of the camera; it was because everyone was looking at her and the camera was pointed at her, so she was under great pressure and got confused.

Thus, being seen as extremely hypocritical turned into a young girl not having strong enough mental resilience, combined with some vanity, making her actions somewhat excusable.

Then, more sincere apologies followed, expressing deep regret and shame, saying that she humbly accepts all criticisms and insults from netizens, presenting herself in the lowest posture.

A wealthy heiress apologizing so humbly to all netizens online, and even donating two million to a children’s welfare organization in the end.

It is known that the internet always highly respects charitable acts. Even if a celebrity is full of scandals, as long as they are willing to donate, there will always be people speaking for them and helping them clear their name.

Sure enough, when Lu Sheng opened the comments below this Weibo post, the tone was completely different from the previous ones.

Moreover, Lu Sheng noticed right away that the top five or six comments were clearly from paid commentators.

Comments like no one is perfect, acknowledging mistakes is already commendable, and donating two million is admirable, etc.

Some even brought up examples of internet celebrities who were cyber-bullied into depression and suicide to advocate for rejecting cyber violence and urging more tolerance and rational speech online.

With such a shift in discourse, who would continue to curse as harshly as before?

Lu Qianrou was indeed no fool; she managed to completely reverse the public opinion in no time.

The car stopped at the entrance of Lanyin Restaurant, and Lu Sheng put his phone back in his pocket.

“Mr. Li, you’ve arrived.”

The manager had been respectfully waiting at the entrance, and upon seeing Muchen, he bent over and gestured with his hand, “The private room is ready, please follow me.”

Having chatted in the car, Lu Sheng had gotten quite familiar with Fang Honglin and others. When getting out of the car, Xiao Yan even mustered the courage to take her hand.

Although Muchen could walk now, Chen An remembered Lu Sheng’s previous instructions not to walk too much and had prepared a blackwood cane for him.

The dinner was quite enjoyable.

The atmosphere was a bit tense at first, given the presence of a big shot like Muchen.

But soon everyone realized that Muchen hardly spoke, spending most of the time just watching Lu Sheng, his every move exuding calmness and grace.

It turns out rumors aren’t reliable; the big shot wasn’t that scary after all.

The only noisy one was Lu Youye, who seemed desperate to have Lu Sheng sit only next to him, occasionally casting wary glances at Muchen.

Muchen picked a piece of food for Lu Sheng, and he picked ten. By the end, he had piled up a small mountain of food in front of Lu Sheng’s bowl to his satisfaction.
