Chapter 42 - 42 Do You Treat Me As A Brother?
42 Do You Treat Me As A Brother?
Although there was a lot of scolding online, Chen Che and Lin Xi turned a deaf ear and spent another happy night together.
However, the more the two of them acted like this, the greater the criticism online and the more popular they became.
Even at its peak, their popularity could not compare to what it was now. Amongst it, most of them were watching the show.
In the wee hours of the morning, Chen Che returned to the self-service withdrawal hall. After saving up today’s income, he subconsciously opened the live-stream platform.
He thought to himself that the netizens had already vented for a day. They should feel relieved now, right?
However, reality proved that he was thinking too highly of them!
When he clicked into the backstage of Team 7’s live-stream, the comments section was filled with curses. It was as unpleasant as it could be.
Recently, thousands of comments showed that the time was ‘moments ago’.
Not only that, every time it was refreshed, several new comments would appear.
Seeing this, Chen Che could not help but mutter in his heart, “Good lord, you’re still scolding at this time? This time, it attracted such a huge wave of criticism?”
Chen Che smiled and shook his head. He was not angry at the scolding. After all, he was already prepared.
Moreover, from the start of the live broadcast until now, the scolding had continued. He was already used to it.
However, he did not expect the netizens to still be so fired up from this morning until now!
After leaving Team 7’s backstage, Chen Che clicked on Lin Xi’s personal account to see what was going on.
At this moment, the comments section on Lin Xi’s side was also popular, but fortunately, there were no curses. Instead, they persuaded her.
[Goddess, that poor man is a liar. Hurry up and stay away from him!]
[His true nature has been exposed. He’s not humane at all. He’s not worthy of being with you!]
[Goddess, quickly open your eyes. He’s a scumbag!]
Such words were everywhere.
Looking at these words, Chen Che smiled again. He knew that Lin Xi would not care at all.
Most importantly, as long as this matter did not affect Lin Xi’s company, that was enough.
After taking a few more glances, Chen Che turned off his phone and quickly fell asleep.
…
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
At seven in the morning, at the Jiangshi City Hospital.
After a few surgeries, Kong Hao’s mother was finally out of danger. Her vital signs were especially stable.
“Mr. Kong, the last surgery was also very successful. She will wake up after the anesthetic wears off.”
“We’ll keep here here for observation for a few days. If there’s nothing else, she can be discharged in a month.”
“Thank you, thank you, Doctor.” Kong Hao’s eyes were red as he watched his mother being pushed into the Normal Intensive Care Unit. His anxious heart finally relaxed.
He had not slept for three days and was extremely tired.
After his mother settled down, Kong Hao remembered that his phone was still at the nurses’ station, so he quickly went to get it back.
After turning on the phone, Kong Hao first reported his safety in the work group and expressed his gratitude.
The kindness of his colleagues this time made him feel very warm and he liked this team even more.
As soon as the message was sent, his colleagues came out one after another to congratulate him. Only Chen Che did not respond.
That was because at this moment, Chen Che was still racing against time in the park to earn extra money!
After chatting with his colleagues, Kong Hao started reading casually.
As Chen Che’s good brother, he naturally paid attention to Chen Che’s show.
Therefore, as soon as he entered the live-stream platform, many recommendations came, but the titles were all denouncing Chen Che.
Kong Hao frowned and hurriedly checked them one by one.
When he saw that Chen Che had been attacked online because he did not donate, Kong Hao was instantly dumbfounded.
Although Chen Che told the supervisor to keep it a secret for now, when the supervisor came to deliver the money, he could not help but tell Kong Hao about Chen Che.
Therefore, when he saw that the Internet was scolding Chen Che so badly and that Team 7’s data had plummeted, Kong Hao felt extremely uncomfortable and guilty.
The more he read, the angrier he became. Kong Hao turned off his phone. He thought to himself that his mother was sick, but his brother had been pushed to the center of the storm because of this. How is this acceptable?
Moreover, he had already been scolded for three days. Would Chen Che and Lin Xi’s relationship be affected because of this?
If this caused Chen Che’s image to collapse and his relationship to break down, he would feel guilty for the rest of his life!
No, he can’t let this matter continue. He has to seek justice for his brother!
After making up his mind, Kong Hao left the hospital after speaking with the nurse.
At 7:30 in the morning, Chen Che, who had been busy, finally saw Kong Hao’s message in the group. He also sent his congratulations and was sincerely happy.
Coincidentally, Lin Xi arrived with breakfast as usual.
When they arrived at the park, Chen Che said as soon as they sat down, “Kong Hao sent news this morning that his mother is fine.”
“Is that so? This is really a good thing.” Lin Xi was also very happy. In the past few days, she had also learned about Kong Hao’s family situation from Chen Che.
She knew very well how important it was to Kong Hao to protect his only family.
Chen Che nodded. “That’s right. He must be especially happy now. It won’t be long before he can come back to work.”
Hearing their conversation, hundreds of thousands of people in the live-stream immediately discussed.
[You still have the cheek to face him after coming back to work?]
[That’s right. You’re a piece of trash!]
[How dare you laugh? You’ve been scolded for three days and you’re still acting like nothing happened. You’re really thick-skinned!]
In the past few days, as long as the live-stream was opened, netizens’ comments would flood in like a tide. It was as if it had become a habit to scold Chen Che every day.
Moreover, no matter what Chen Che said or do, it would definitely cause scolding. Even his breathing was a crime!
At 8:30 in the morning, after sending Lin Xi off, Chen Che also arrived at the company to prepare for work.
Before he could approach, he saw his colleagues chatting at the door. One of them was Kong Hao.
Seeing this, Chen Che hurriedly walked forward and greeted, “Kong Hao!”
Upon hearing the greeting, Kong Hao immediately turned around. Because he had not rested for three days, his expression was a little ugly and his eyes were bloodshot.
“Didn’t Auntie just finish her surgery? Don’t you need to stay in the hospital to take care of her? Even if you don’t need to, you don’t have to be in a hurry to come to work, right? Look at you. Hurry up and go home to rest.” Chen Che’s tone was filled with concern.
Kong Hao, who was already feeling guilty, felt his eyes turn even redder when he heard these words. Looking at Chen Che’s smiling face, he felt even worse.
In his opinion, no matter how strong a person was, they could not withstand being scolded every day, right?
Therefore, Chen Che was forcing a smile!
And all of this was because of him!
“Chen Che! Do you still treat me as a brother?!” After a moment of silence, Kong Hao hurriedly rushed in front of Chen Che and questioned him loudly.
The colleagues who were unaware of the situation were shocked. They hurriedly went forward and grabbed Kong Hao, afraid that the two of them would fight.
“Kong Hao, Kong Hao, don’t be agitated. Donations are voluntary. You can’t force others, right?”
“That’s right, that’s right. Little Chen is so stingy to himself. You should understand!”
“We’re all colleagues. You can’t blame Chen Che for this. After all, we still have to work together in the future!”
Obviously, his colleagues also thought that Chen Che did not donate.
Moreover, from his tone, it was not difficult to tell that although they had not said anything for the past three days, they also felt that Chen Che had done something wrong.
