Chapter 445: Chapter 445: We Protect Her Together

The nanny went to open the door, but Liang Lei stopped her.

"Min, let me go."

Liang Lei glanced at the tightly closed bedroom door before heading to the door. Cheng Qiaobei stood outside, appearing to have rushed over, his face showing extreme anxiety.

"Where’s Ning Xi?" Cheng Qiaobei looked behind Liang Lei.

Liang Lei pushed him outside, lowering her voice, "Let’s talk outside."

Once the door closed, Liang Lei handed the phone to Cheng Qiaobei, "Ning Xi’s phone."

Cheng Qiaobei took it, seemingly relieved, "Thank you."

"It’s nothing," Liang Lei asked again, "Did you take Ning Xi for a check-up?"

Cheng Qiaobei replied solemnly, "Yes, I did."

"Where did you have her checked? What if the hospital misdiagnosed? Didn’t you take her to several hospitals for confirmation?"

Cheng Qiaobei said, "The initial diagnosis was made by an old Chinese medicine practitioner in Ningkou who felt her pulse. We also went to Danjiang Hospital for an examination, and the results were the same as what the Chinese medicine doctor said. My mother-in-law then contacted her classmates at a hospital in Shanghai, and we took Ning Xi there for further tests. They suggested in vitro fertilization."

Liang Lei frowned, with three hospitals giving the same result, the probability of a misdiagnosis was almost zero.

She found it hard to accept initially, pacing back and forth, "At least IVF is possible."

Cheng Qiaobei said, "I asked the hospital, and Ning Xi would endure some pain doing IVF. She was already in a lot of pain during the hysterosalpingogram examination. I don’t want her to suffer more right now."

Liang Lei saw that Cheng Qiaobei truly cared about Chen Ningxi, but issues need solutions, "Is she taking medicine now or does she need other treatments?"

Cheng Qiaobei said, "She’s currently drinking herbal medicine. Her thought is, if it doesn’t work, then she’ll go for IVF. The success rate for IVF is still high."

Liang Lei felt relieved, "That’s good. With advanced medical technology today, this isn’t a big deal."

He understood what Liang Lei meant, "Don’t worry, whether Ning Xi and I have children or not, it won’t separate us."

"Well..." Liang Lei felt he shouldn’t make such definitive statements, as the future is unpredictable.

However, Cheng Qiaobei’s attitude was better than many men already.

She asked again, "Who posted the thread? And how could Ning Xi’s examination results be exposed? Isn’t that a breach of patient privacy? Was it leaked from the hospital? If so, we should sue the hospital and hold those responsible accountable. Why should Ning Xi’s examination results be disclosed without consent?"

Cheng Qiaobei knew inside, "The examination results weren’t leaked from the hospital; it was a private investigation company."

"Why would a private investigation company be looking into Ning Xi?" Liang Lei was confused.

Cheng Qiaobei said, "It was my sister."

Liang Lei was furious, "Is your sister insane?"

"I think she’s not well indeed." Cheng Qiaobei’s face darkened suddenly, "But I didn’t expect them to dig through our trash."

Liang Lei felt a headache from anger, with her hand on her waist, "That’s just too perverse, going through other people’s garbage. No, I have to talk to the property management."

"That won’t help. Right now, we need to get the post and video taken down immediately, the less it’s spread, the better." Cheng Qiaobei said seriously, fully knowing that the situation was already beyond control.

"Then contact them quickly to have it deleted." Liang Lei remembered something and said, "We also can’t keep her from looking at her phone forever. Even if she doesn’t check her phone, she’d find out through other means."

Cheng Qiaobei said, "My lawyer is already contacting the person who posted it. We definitely plan to take legal action later."

"Legal action? When will that solve anything? In this situation, we must be quicker in counter-attacking and correct the public opinion. Otherwise, Ning Xi will be criticized harshly." Liang Lei was both anxious and annoyed, frustrated that she couldn’t help, "Now just deleting posts doesn’t do much good. The damage to Ning Xi’s reputation has already been done. The first few top comments could ruin her."

Cheng Qiaobei was clearly aware, "The issue is quite troublesome."

Liang Lei cursed angrily, "Those disgusting keyboard warriors are like maggots hiding behind the internet. To satisfy their filthy thoughts, they start fantasizing about a stranger whom they’ve never even met, spreading rumors to tarnish a person’s innocence.

We must firmly fight back against these online trolls. I want to track them down and expose them in the public eye, let them taste what it feels like to be exposed online."

Liang Lei had resources in that area and intended to use every resource available to deal with those foul-mouthed keyboard warriors.

Cheng Qiaobei said, "Can you get in touch with the person in charge of the site where it was posted?"

Liang Lei said, "I can’t guarantee it, but I can try."

Cheng Qiaobei said, "Then please do."

"Come on, Ning Xi and I are close friends, it’s what I should do." Recalling the people hiding behind the internet, Liang Lei was angry, gritting her teeth as she said, "Deleting the post can fundamentally solve the issue of spreading, but the improper comments already out there will follow Ning Xi for a long time. Whether the comments are eventually proven true or not doesn’t matter to those who originally made them; they won’t care. Ask them a few months later, and they might not even remember leaving those comments.

But what about Ning Xi? In the process where public opinion goes wild, those top comments will be attached to her by those who don’t know the truth, appearing wherever Ning Xi goes.

A girl I once knew, just because she was filmed at the gym, people in the comments started making obscene comments about her behind, even giving her the nickname ’Big Tail Sheep.’ Later, this girl made videos to explain that she was working out because of calf muscle atrophy, but it didn’t gain much attention. Those who originally imagined things about her weren’t focused on it either. Wherever she went, people who had seen the video would still call her ’Big Tail Sheep.’ Eventually, she developed anxiety and couldn’t bear the pressure, so she moved to another city to live.

I’m worried Ning Xi might not be able to handle the pressure, that’s what concerns me the most."

Cheng Qiaobei understood her meaning, "Thank you, I know what to do now."

Liang Lei said, "Let’s protect her together."

Chen Ningxi just put Manman to sleep when the door behind her opened.

Cheng Qiaobei followed Liang Lei inside, and Chen Ningxi was surprised, "What are you doing here?"

"I came to pick you up." Cheng Qiaobei stood beside her, looking at the baby on the crib, "Did you put him to sleep?"

"Yeah." Chen Ningxi looked at Manman without blinking, "So lovely."

Ever since Chen Ningxi saw Liang Lei’s child, she often said how lovely they were, and they all understood the meaning behind it, filled with envy, sincere affection, and anticipation.

Cheng Qiaobei said, "Let’s go, Liang Lei should get some rest."

Liang Lei saw the longing gaze Chen Ningxi gave the child, feeling a bit more troubled inside, "It’s okay, stay a bit longer. Lin Hanrui should be coming back soon."

Cheng Qiaobei said, "She came over right after work and hasn’t had dinner yet," he took Chen Ningxi’s hand, "We can come back tomorrow."

"Alright." Chen Ningxi came to her senses, verbally complying, but her eyes never left Manman on the crib.
