An Empress’s Return to the Present: The Real Young Lady’s Strong Comeback Chapter 32

Chapter 32
Chen Li didn’t return.
Due to what had happened at the nursing home, the production team allowed the remaining children to just do as they liked in the villa. Chu An also arrived punctually at eight o’clock in the morning. They informed Chu An of what they had analyzed of the situation so far, and Chu An also agreed with Gu Xiao’s theory.
All of a sudden, it was as if everyone had been pumped full of adrenaline. Aside from studying, they did not want to do anything else, and spent the whole morning studying.
However, Chen Li still hadn’t returned.
Because she was still worried, Lin Xue wanted to give Chen Li a call. However, when she asked for the number, she found out that Chen Li didn’t have a phone at all. Thus, Lin Xue hesitated for a moment, preparing to call Meng Fei to ask about the situation. However, the moment she opened her phone, she saw a message on Weibo: “Rural and Urban” has caused a fatality!
Lin Xue clicked on the link and took a look. She had not thought that there would actually be a video in this post. In the video, the entire process of Chen Li carrying the cup, falling and shattering it, and Aunty Wang being taken away by the ambulance. Meng Fei Fei did not even appear in the video.
No wonder no one believed Chen Li’s words.
And the comments below the post were all words like “Chen Li should die”, “Chen Li not worthy of living”, which was ghastly to Lin Xue.
Worse come to worst, even if it was really Chen Li’s fault, she had only accidentally shattered her cup, she still shouldn’t be cursed so harshly!
Gu Xiao noticed the change in Lin Xue’s expression, so they approached to watch this trending topic.
“They’re insulting her so badly…” An Yang thought. If she was the one that was the target of these insults, just how terrified and sad would she be!
“A lot of people were instigated.” Chu An pointed at the most popular comments, and whispered, “They’re all water armies, probably hired by the production team

. A lot of people are cursing along with them.”
“Why? Just because they don’t know the truth of the matter, can they simply pass judgement as they like?” An Yang didn’t understand. She had lived in the simplest kind of society since childhood, and had never imagined that something like this would happen.
“They lack education, or lack love, so they are seeking a sense of presence in the online world,” Lin Xue explained. “By proving the sins of others, they can obtain virtual self-satisfaction.”
“Now is not the time to worry about this.” When Chu An saw that the focus of their conversation had suddenly changed, he immediately changed the topic, “How do you plan to help Chen Li?”
Everyone was silent. They really wanted to help, but…
They seemed to be helpless.
“The only thing we can do now is to comfort her, and try our best not to let her come into contact with these attacks on the web.” Gu Xiao patted Lin Xue and An Yang’s shoulders, “We have to give her enough trust, right until the moment the truth is revealed.”
“En!” They nodded, and a profound bond was established among them at this moment.
In the following period of time, everyone was madly studying, causing the audience to be dumbfounded. This kind of learning spirit allowed them to fully realize: the people of the No. 1 High School were a bunch of maniacs!
But what they did not know was that in the past, everyone’s goal was very small, and only wanted to get into a good university, but now, they had a further goal —
At this age, they had already witnessed the darkness and injustice of society, and a seed of desire to resist had been planted in their hearts.
It wasn’t until 6 pm that they heard the sound of a car from the villa, and hurriedly ran over to take a look.
Chen Li had returned, but…
What a ghastly sight she was!
One of her eyes was bruised, and one of her arms was encased in a cast. Her clothes were torn and tattered, and there were scars and bumps on all the areas that could be seen.
“Chen Li!” An Yang was the first to run over to support the trembling Chen Li, and she asked in concern, “What happened to you? Does it hurt?!”
“An Yang… Am I going to die…” Chen Li turned around and asked her mechanically.
“No way, you’ll live well! Definitely!” An Yang couldn’t hold back her tears, and they flowed down her face.
Gu Xiao ran over as well, trying her best to look directly at the scars on Chen Li’s body.
This bunch of demons! She did not say anything, and merely hugged Chen Li tightly, “It’s all right. We believe you.”
“But others don’t believe me! They’re all saying that it’s me! All of them!” Chen Li wailed, her voice filled with despair.
And the videocam was presently pointed at their faces, filming all their actions and words.
[And they’re still biased? If it was me, I would have already handed Chen Li over to the police!]
[Suddenly, I don’t like them at all anymore. Can’t they distinguish right from wrong?]
[Disgusting]
The barrage of insults spread to everyone, and for the first time, a brilliant smile appeared on the director’s face.
He had succeeded, and successfully pushed them to the forefront of the storm, taking the first step in the course of promoting some people that he did not dare to offend.
