Chapter 639: Chapter 640: Pointed Out by Thousands

"Yingying, what are you doing?" Song Xiaodong couldn’t help but frown. Xiao Yingying’s reaction was really too strange, clearly hiding something she didn’t want him to see.

"Nothing, nothing." Xiao Yingying jumped up, trying to run away.

Song Xiaodong reached out and grabbed her arm. Xiao Yingying’s body involuntarily turned and she ended up sitting on Song Xiaodong’s lap, but her phone was still hidden behind her back, she pleaded urgently, "Really, it’s nothing, Brother Dongzi."

"Is there something unspeakable on your phone?" Song Xiaodong frowned again.

Xiao Yingying blinked her eyes and said, "This... yes, yes, I was chatting with a netizen, you need to respect my privacy."

"Pfft! Do you think I would believe that excuse?" Song Xiaodong gave Xiao Yingying a dismissive look, then reached out and snatched her phone.

"Brother Dongzi, don’t look." Xiao Yingying’s face suddenly fell.

Miao Xuanxuan and others were feeling complicated today, but Xiao Yingying’s reaction also piqued everyone’s curiosity. Centered around Song Xiaodong, even if Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan might chat secretly with netizens, Xiao Yingying would definitely not.

So everyone craned their necks to look at Xiao Yingying’s phone, but upon seeing it, all their faces turned very ugly.

It was a video news, and the main characters were Song Xiaodong and Song Xiaoru, with a shocking headline: "Sibling Folly, Heaven Does Not Allow."

"Dongzi, don’t look!" This time, not just Xiao Yingying, but also Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan cried out.

Song Xiaodong didn’t start the video, just read the headline and the text, then turned his head to look at Song Xiaoru, his face had turned deathly pale, his lips quivered twice, and he said, "Sis..."

Song Xiaoru’s face was even more ghastly. She had thought that as long as Miao Qingqing and the others didn’t speak out, her and Song Xiaodong’s affair might remain hidden, but unexpectedly, it had been exposed online the very next day.

And the main problem was the headline, enough to ruin Song Xiaodong, to be despised by everyone.

"Dongzi, you... you were drugged at that time, it wasn’t your true intention," Miao Qingqing softly reiterated.

Song Xiaodong’s body shuddered slightly, then he stood up, walked over to Song Xiaoru, dropped to his knees in front of her, holding her hands, looked up into her eyes, and said softly, "Sis, I’ve made you suffer."

Song Xiaoru gently shook her head, avoiding Song Xiaodong’s gaze, and said, "You can’t be blamed for this."

It was then Song Xiaodong turned his head to look at Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan, as well as Xiao Yingying, and said, "Qingqing, Xuanxuan, Yingying, this incident has happened, and I have an undeniable responsibility. So... I’ve decided, my sister has to be with me."

Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan’s bodies jolted. Then Miao Qingqing sighed and said, "That’s probably for the best."

Song Xiaoru was a bit stunned but then quickly protested, "No, no, Dongzi, we can’t be together. Even if we’re not related by blood, in the eyes of others, we are still siblings. We absolutely cannot be together. It would subject you to universal condemnation, and wherever you go, you wouldn’t be able to hold your head high. Qingqing and the others would also face immense pressure. This absolutely cannot happen, absolutely not!"

Song Xiaodong shook his head, resolute, and said, "No matter how much pressure I face, no matter what happens, I will not give up. Even if the sky falls, I will bear it for you, Sis. I’ve told you, I can’t let you suffer the slightest grievance in this life, and now I’ve caused you grief, that simply won’t do."

"Dongzi, you can’t be so selfish." Song Xiaoru shook her head vigorously, saying, "You have to consider Qingqing and the others. You can’t ruin them all just for my sake."

"In the current situation, even if you’re not with me, do you think they won’t bear this pressure?" Song Xiaodong’s intense gaze fixed on Song Xiaoru for a few seconds before he turned to look at Miao Qingqing and the others, slowly saying, "Are you willing to bear this pressure with me?"

"I’m willing!" Xiao Yingying immediately answered without hesitation.

Miao Xuanxuan spoke with a gentle look in her eyes, "I’ve never cared about others’ gazes. I only care about my sister’s thoughts."

Miao Qingqing’s lips twitched, saying, "Dongzi, we’ve been together for so long, am I the kind of person who backs down at the last minute? But we still need to be calm. Now we need to consider how to face this crisis. After all, we live in society, and we need to live within it. What’s most important now is how we respond."

Song Xiaodong nodded, took a deep breath, and said, "Alright! Let’s watch the video first."

"Ah! No!" Song Xiaoru suddenly cried out, embarrassed to watch the process of Song Xiaodong violating her.

Miao Qingqing immediately said, "We need to see what this video is really about. Xuanxuan and I were able to see from that room, and your clothes were not torn before we destroyed the computer. This must be remnants from earlier."

Song Xiaoru’s lips twitched, and she started looking at her phone.

The video opened, and Song Xiaodong watching his own rough actions, a sense of guilt suddenly arose, wishing he could slap himself hard.

But the video was indeed as Miao Qingqing had said; Song Xiaodong stopped tearing at Song Xiaoru’s clothes as soon as he started.

This relieved Song Xiaoru. If the whole process had been uploaded online, then wouldn’t everyone have seen her body? Song Xiaoru really didn’t know if she would have the courage to continue living.

Facing public criticism, she might have been able to endure, but having everyone see her body was simply unbearable for her.

But those comments were about to make Song Xiaoru collapse, all uniformly abusive, branding Song Xiaodong as a beast and her as a shameless woman.

The dreadfulness of public opinion, one cannot understand the immense pressure it brings to a person without experiencing it first-hand.

The knocking sound suddenly came at this moment. Song Xiaodong took a deep breath and went to open the door. Su Yuya walked in with four people.

"Qingqing, Xuanxuan, come with me," Su Yuya first gave Song Xiaodong a disdainful look, then said sternly.

"Aunt, what are you doing?" Miao Xuanxuan asked, frowning.

Su Yuya huffed and said, "You are coming back to the Su Family with me right now. Before the public opinion spreads to the Su Family, hurry back with me."

"I’m not going!" Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan shouted in unison.

"Not going! Do you think he still has the ability to protect you? He’s nothing but a cripple now," Su Yuya scoffed, saying, "Take them away!" At this point, she completely disregarded Song Xiaodong.
