Chapter 415: Chapter 415: Everyone is Condemning Hai Xiaotang_1
At the same time, he also issued a public statement, declaring solemnly that everything was his fault and had nothing to do with Hai Xiaotang.
If any media dare to slander his wife without justification, he would pursue the matter relentlessly!
Dongfang Yu just wanted to protect Hai Xiaotang, hoping this might shut the media up.
Little did he know, his words stimulated even more controversy.
Once again, pushing Hai Xiaotang into the eye of the storm.
The threatened media not only continued unabashed but became even more convinced that Hai Xiaotang was a femme fatale.
Netizens likewise intensified their verbal assault on Hai Xiaotang.
Historically, it has always been the women who are blamed whenever a king acts foolishly.
The reason they slander Hai Xiaotang now is the same – they believe she bewitched Dongfang Yu, ruining such an outstanding man.
Add to the fact that SH Xiaotang is not as accomplished as Dongfang Yu, they believe even more that Hai Xiaotang isn’t worthy of him.
Hai Xiaotang, being the weaker party, is an easier target for attack.
So, predictably, everyone is condemning Hai Xiaotang.
On reading online news, Dongfang Yu’s face turned sullen. He never imagined that in spite of everything being his fault, in the end, everyone would be blaming Hai Xiaotang.
What did Hai Xiaotang do wrong?
He was the one who set her up, he was the one who wronged her, he was the one obsessed with her.
In the end, what did she do wrong to be subjected to such widespread ridicule and slander?
Of course, Dongfang Yu was aware that the dynamics behind the scenes were not so straightforward.
Someone must be manipulating the media and driving public opinion.
The purpose was clear. It aimed to target Hai Xiaotang.
Only if Hai Xiaotang was targeted, would Dongfang Yu continue doing what others see as foolish acts for her sake.
The enemy is smart, knowing it wouldn’t be easy to defeat him, so they target Hai Xiaotang instead.
Of course, if Hai Xiaotang were to be deeply caught up in trouble, Hai Zhiyuan wouldn’t stand by and do nothing either.
The enemy was simply exploiting a shared weak spot between Dongfang Yu and Hai Zhiyuan, aiming to take them both down.
And their mutual weak spot was – Hai Xiaotang!
Dongfang has many competitors, who would no doubt be fanning the flames.
Continuing in this vein, trouble will inevitably hit Dongfang Yu’s company sooner or later.
Once problems occur, defeat is all the more likely!
The nature of business is such that no matter how large your empire is, if trouble strikes, it can collapse overnight.
Currently, the only thing Dongfang Yu could do was to ignore the online public opinion.
Yet, how could he stand seeing Hai Xiaotang being verbally abused and blamed every day!
What made him even angrier was the company’s shareholders jointly requesting to hold a shareholders’ meeting.
During the meeting, everyone tried to persuade him to prioritize the bigger picture, not to engage with online comments, and to stop standing up for Hai Xiaotang.
Some even suggested he divorce Hai Xiaotang in order to quell the online public’s dissatisfaction.
It was only suggested as a fake divorce, and they could still live together, but in Dongfang Yu’s eyes, such a suggestion was heinous!
So, the one suggesting the divorce was noted as an enemy by Dongfang Yu.
Although he did nothing openly, he secretly executed his revenge. In the end, that shareholder’s household fell apart, he lost his wife and children, and even his shares in Dongfang!
However, nobody knew about these things. Dongfang Yu wasn’t going to let anyone know what he’d been doing behind the scenes.
Hai Xiaotang, in fact, did not care about the public’s slander.
But she was worried that Dongfang Yu might lose his patience.
