Chapter 659 - 660: Proving the Name
The Su family had suffered a major loss and, of course, could not just let it go. The next day, they first announced that Su Qingyuan suffered from intermittent mental illness, and his streaking was proof of his condition. Immediately after, they pointed the finger at Song Xiaodong and once again dug up the video from half a month ago involving Song Xiaodong and Song Xiaoru, launching another fierce attack.
However, soon a different voice emerged, from a news interview featuring Song Xiaodong’s relatives, including his second uncle and second aunt, and his third uncle and third aunt.
They all testified that Song Xiaodong and Song Xiaoru were not biologically related as brother and sister and spoke of the deep affection Song Xiaodong and Song Xiaoru shared for each other, how Song Xiaoru took care of her younger brother, and how respectful Song Xiaodong was towards his sister.
That wasn’t all. People quickly pointed out that Song Xiaodong’s state at that time was completely irrational, and some even found videos of others experiencing the same reactions after having ingested a Fantasy Aphrodisiac, just like Song Xiaodong.
This all proved that Song Xiaodong had violated Song Xiaoru only because he had been drugged.
Further stirred by a large wave of paid internet commentators, Song Xiaodong and Song Xiaoru soon became seen as victims, and many who had previously condemned Song Xiaodong began to sympathize with them.
There were even many who felt that since such an incident had occurred between them, it wouldn’t be so bad for the brother and sister to become husband and wife, because after all, they were not related by blood, and being together posed no issue.
Standing in front of the office desk, Su Yao said, "Chairman, several reporters have contacted me, do you want to accept an interview?"
Song Xiaodong shook his head and said, "Decline all such interviews, I’m not accepting any media interviews."
Su Yao hesitated for a moment before saying, "But... this would be the best opportunity for you to clear your name."
"If I accept an interview now, it will seem like I’m trying to stage this whole affair. I won’t respond; let them think what they will. Some things need time to settle. No matter how solid the evidence you present to those online trolls, they will still treat it as fake. Besides, the Su and Sun families will definitely muddy the waters. The more I engage, the more trouble it will be."
Su Yao nodded and said, "I see, then I’ll go and turn them down."
