As soon as Yao Ran and her father had a talk, the post was immediately deleted.

Luo Hua, who had just been informed of this entire ordeal, immediately called up Yao Yuan.

As soon as the phone had been picked up, he started to speak, “I’m so sorry for the misunderstanding. I hadn’t realized it till it was too late, and Yao Ran had gotten hurt because of it. Don’t worry, I’ve already launched a full investigation as we speak and give her the justice she deserves.”

Luo Hua apologized profusely after his promise. If the parents had been hear now, he probably would’ve already fallen onto his knees.

Yao Yuan edged away from his daughter and walked down the stairs. “You really can’t blame yourself, Teacher Luo. After all, with all this schoolwork, there really isn’t the time to check the school forum for posts like these. But I do hope this incident is the last. Our Ranran shouldn’t have to experience something like this.”

While he appeared quite understanding, listeners might be able to hear the sharpness of his tone.

Luo Hua was not only one of the best teachers in No. 1 High School, but he was also her school adviser. Shouldn’t he be taking responsibility for this matter?

“Of course,” he said quickly.

“Don’t worry, Ranran wouldn’t be suffering from this fake news!”

As soon as Luo Hua ended the call, his face darkened. Just the thought of someone being able to do this was enough to send him into a fit of rage.

Yao Ran had always been his favorite student. To see her being slandered and wronged like this…he clenched his fists. This shouldn’t be the case.

He’d definitely be investigating this matter thoroughly.

The people behind this post should be prepared for what’s coming for them.

..

Half an hour later, a new post appeared on the forum.

The post was basically explaining what had happened to Yao Ran.

The post explained that Yao Ran had simply gone to the Qin Family to apologize in Yao Tang’s stead. This act was simply done out of kindness, and it wasn’t meant to be perceived in the toxic manner that the previous post had been suggesting.

Moreover, she was a simple girl with a simple crush. Don’t all girls go through the same thing?

Below that post were bullet points of all the good things Yao Ran had done for not just her friends, but also her family.

There were also a list of awards that she had won.

Everything about the post just seemed so overwhelming.

What surprised everyone was at the end, the Yao Family had written down the name of their lawyer and a quote from him as well.

“If anyone were to slander Yao Ran again, the Yao Family will take necessary measures to ensure her safety and reputation. Everyone who will continue to be involved in slandering her will receive a letter from our attorney,” it read.

“Everyone, please let us work together to get rid of this fake news. Thank you!”

As soon as the post had been uploaded, it was pinned by the school’s administrators.

Now, that was the first thing everyone could see as soon as they open the forum.

Everyone could see just how protected Yao Ran was.

Everyone could also see how bias they were as well.

The post instantly blew up, but it definitely wasn’t for good reasons. There were comments everywhere about the preferential treatment Yao Ran had gotten.

“Eh, why am I not surprised? Yao Ran is their biological daughter, while Yao Tang is simply their niece. The way they had treated them so differently exposed their true colors.”

“Yao Ran really is spoiled. It didn’t even take an hour for the post to be taken down, yet Yao Tang’s post was up for days to no end!”

“Hey, I heard that Luo Hua himself called Yao Ran’s parents to apologize!”

“When Yao Tang was being slandered, why didn’t the Yao Family do anything?”

“Isn’t it obvious? They don’t like her. Ugh! The Yao family really is despicable.”

“Let’s just stay silent, lest they say we’re slandering her.” The other person stopped. “After all, she’s the daughter of the Yao Family. To her, we’re nothing but sticks in the mud.”

Although the Yao Family had already released a statement regarding the affairs, the entire student body still didn’t have a good impression of the young woman.

After all, their preferential treatment was starting to show.

It was ridiculous how far the Yao Family were willing to go just to protect their precious daughter. They couldn’t help but cringe at the number of posts being taken down in an instant.

Where was justice when it needed to show itself?

Not knowing what else to do, they all simply closed their phones.

It wasn’t for certain whether or not the Qin family had rejected the marriage proposal, but they were just too sick of hearing about the Yao Family’s biases. After all, this just wasn’t right.

..

In the Yao family’s living room, Qin Man was tending to her daughter.

“Ranran, don’t feel bad, okay?” she comforted. “Why don’t you drink some of my white fungus soup later? That’s your favorite, isn’t it? I know it’s hard, but we shouldn’t let those monsters win!”

She gently stroke her Yao Ran’s head as she was saying it.

Her child had been wronged, but at this point, there was nothing else she could do to assist her. All they could do now was wait.

“Do they all hate me?” Yao Ran sniffled.

“Of course not!” Qin Man was quick to rebut. Her heart clenched. “Everyone loves you. If you don’t believe me, then why don’t you head to school tomorrow? No one in their right mind would hate you!”

“I…Thank you.”

Yao Ran nodded, a bit happier after her words of comfort.
