The development of public opinion is like the division of cells, one to ten, ten to a hundred. Right now, everyone was discussing about Gu Xiaoxiao's incident. The thing that made people most helpless was that Gu Xiaoxiao himself did not do anything and was drowned by the overwhelming amount of public opinion.

A few days ago, Gu Xiaoxiao was at home, wholeheartedly designing the next season's new product. Gu Xiaoxiao felt that the best way to deal with the public opinion was to just ignore them. When another incident occurred, everyone's attention would quickly move to another place. The netizens' forgetfulness was very great. According to the rule of past events, it wouldn't be long before the event's heat subsided.

But half a month had already passed, and the discussion of Gu Xiaoxiao's matter was still extremely heated. From time to time, she would occupy the front page of the news. Gu Xiaoxiao could no longer sit still, she could not help but become suspicious.

"Unless someone hired the troll army to keep the heat up, otherwise, according to the normal development of the situation, it should have been quelled long ago." Gu Xiaoxiao browsed through the comments on the web. No matter how strong one's mental endurance was, one wouldn't be able to withstand the malicious insults and greetings from the eighteen generations of one's ancestors that were all over the internet. In less than five minutes, Gu Xiaoxiao was already dizzy from watching, the flames of anger striking at her heart. She closed the page and went back to her bedroom to rest.

Recalling the comments that seemed to have been carved out from the same mold, one could tell with a single glance that this was the style of the troll army. Gu Xiaoxiao was sure that there was someone behind this. But now that she couldn't find the culprit, what could she do with those masterminds?

Night quietly descended. Gu Xiaoxiao sat on the sofa at the side of the balcony, looking at the cars and horses downstairs, deep in thought. Her eyes were so deep that no one could see through them.

"Bang."

The sound of the gate closing at the Profound Entrance pulled Gu Xiaoxiao back to reality. She looked up and saw that Huo Moting had returned.

"Mo Ting, have you eaten?" Gu Xiaoxiao walked over barefooted and helped Huo Moting take off his jacket.

"I've just had dinner at a social gathering. I've been very busy at the company for the past few days, and I've been constantly discussing the matter of buying. I'm really tired." Huo Moting said as he loosened his tie.

"Let's drink some water first." Gu Xiaoxiao brought Huo Moting a cup of warm water and passed it to him.

Huo Moting took the cup, and gulped down the entire cup of water. Gu Xiaoxiao's Adam's apple moved up and down as she swallowed, making Huo Moting feel that Huo Moting's Adam's apple was obviously rougher than before.

After putting down the cup, Huo Moting walked straight to the bathroom, washed up, and went to his bedroom.

"Xiaoxiao, I'll go to sleep first. There will be a meeting tomorrow morning." Huo Moting's voice was filled with fatigue.

"Okay, have a good rest. I still have plans to draw." Gu Xiaoxiao replied casually.

Not long after he finished speaking, Huo Moting's uniform breathing came from inside the room.

Gu Xiaoxiao looked at Huo Moting's exhausted appearance, and felt extremely pained.

"Forget it. The company has been increasing in size recently. Mo Ting is extremely busy. He hasn't been relaxing for a month." Don't bother him with those little things. " Gu Xiaoxiao thought. She poured a glass of water and quietly sat at the dining table.

"However, this matter cannot be ignored. With someone pulling the strings behind the scenes, I cannot be left to others." Although Gu Xiaoxiao's character was gentle, she was not a sheep without a temper.

"Sigh, I'll just find Qin Ran to analyze it. Maybe she can help out." Gu Xiaoxiao seemed to have found a trace of light, and her heart relaxed a little. She then got up and went to her bedroom to rest.

When Gu Xiaoxiao woke up the next morning, she had already left for her company. Gu Xiaoxiao tidied herself up in a composed manner. She changed into a suit with a light fragrance and casually put on a Chinese Wind Ring that she had designed. Then, she put on her hat and mask and took a taxi to Xiaoran Studio.

"Ah, Sister Xiaoxiao, why are you here? "Long time no see, you're even more beautiful now." The moment Gu Xiaoxiao stepped into the gates of Xiaoran Studio, a colleague noticed her and greeted her cordially.

"Yeah, I came to see you guys." Seeing her old colleague, Gu Xiaoxiao's mood also improved. Seeing the familiar arrangement in the workshop, Gu Xiaoxiao recalled every single detail of the previous battles she had with Qin Ran.

"Xiaoxiao, you're here!" Upon seeing Gu Xiaoxiao, Qin Ran was overjoyed as he ran towards her.

Before Gu Xiaoxiao could react, she was hugged by Qin Ran's big bear.

"Long time no see, I missed you to death!" Qin Ran rubbed his chin on Gu Xiaoxiao's shoulder with a face full of satisfaction, looking just like a little kitten.

"Qin Ran, I missed you too." Gu Xiaoxiao replied as well, and then rubbed Qin Ran's head.

"Come on, let's talk in my office." Qin Ran pulled Gu Xiaoxiao's hand, and the two of them walked into Qin Ran's office, shoulder to shoulder, without caring about the hair that she had ruffled earlier.

Seeing that she still had the things she had kept in the Xiaoran Studio, Gu Xiaoxiao felt extremely gratified.

"Let's get straight to the point." Qin Ran went straight to the point. Your life must not be so good as it must be, right? " Qin Ran immediately saw through Gu Xiaoxiao's purpose in coming here.

Upon hearing Qin Ran say this, Gu Xiaoxiao immediately revealed the guess in her heart, "According to normal development, public opinion, which is at its highest, will not last for more than a month. I suspect that someone is deliberately causing trouble, and the mastermind must be adding fuel to the fire." Gu Xiaoxiao bit her lips and looked at Qin Ran pitifully.

"That makes sense. What you said is not impossible." Qin Ran nodded, "But who do you think is the mastermind? Could it be the An Ruo from your company? After all, she was the one who started all this. "

"I think the possibility of it being An Ruo is not high, we are all from the MX company, she is an artist under Mo Ting and me, she doesn't need to treat me like this, normal people wouldn't even be able to curry favor with their boss, why would she do such a thing?"

Gu Xiaoxiao ruled out the possibility of An Ruo. Although the battle for the position of First Sister had made Gu Xiaoxiao speechless, it was still caused by An Ruo's fans. An Ruo was an artist in her own company, so she had a certain level of understanding towards him.

"Then is it possible that the Huo Family is behind this?" Seeing that An Ruo was not established, Qin Ran started to suspect if Gu Ruqin from the Huo Family was trying to stop him.

"I've also thought of this before. The Gu Ruqin of the Huo Family is my foster father's sister, but she can also be considered Huo Moting's stepmother. Ever since the last incident, they didn't interact much, so she doesn't have any reason to do these things." Speaking of the Huo Family, Gu Ruqin's first thought was of Gu Ruqin.

"What about the rest of the Huo family?" Qin Ran continued to ask.

"Not to mention Mo Ting's father, who would intentionally discredit their daughter-in-law? Recently, Mo Ting and Huo Mochen have no interactions, and our company doesn't have any business conflicts with the Huo Family. "I don't think the Huo Family is likely either." Gu Xiaoxiao thought about it and rejected the Huo Family.

"Sigh, tell me, could it be that Gu Anan is behind all of this? She hurt you so much before, and he has even done such heinous things. For her, I presume that even if he treated you like this, he would not be condemned by his conscience." Qin Ran tried his best to think of people he could contact, but suddenly realised that they had almost forgotten about Gu Anan this big trouble.

"She hasn't moved for such a long time, Xiao Chen has already gotten his hands on his, I don't think it's necessary for her to target me." Gu Xiaoxiao didn't really care about Gu Anan's possibility.

"Sigh, after thinking about it, I really don't have any clues." Qin Ran sighed to the sky and collapsed on the sofa.

"Of course, I still feel that the Huo Family still has control over me and Mo Ting. "Although there are no specific events, I had this feeling not long after Mo Ting left the Huo family." Gu Xiaoxiao said to Qin Ran worriedly.

"How can there be such a feeling?" Qin Ran sat up on the sofa and looked at Gu Xiaoxiao seriously.

"Although Mo Ting has escaped from the Huo family and we don't have much contact with them anymore, I still feel uncomfortable all over. Occasionally, he would think that the Huo Family was controlling us. I can't say for sure, but it's intuitively so. " When Gu Xiaoxiao was at home, no one talked to anyone, but when it came to Qin Ran, all of his words came out in one go.

"My dear Xiaoxiao, I think you're thinking too much. "Is it because of my mental stress recently and I'm not resting well?" Qin Ran walked over and put his arm around Gu Xiaoxiao's shoulders, "Your Huo Moting has already been separated from the Huo Family for a period of time. What happened, the Huo Family can still have spies around you?"

"I hope I'm thinking too much. Recently, things have been so complicated that I don't even dare to go out and shop." Gu Xiaoxiao relaxed her emotions and complained to Qin Ran.

"Honey, let's go out and do our best when this matter is over!" Qin Ran laughed adorably at Gu Xiaoxiao's wronged expression.

"Alright, we've been chatting for a few hours now. I've delayed your work, so I'll be going home now." Gu Xiaoxiao looked at her watch and stood up to leave.

"Alright then, I won't keep you any longer." Did you take a taxi? I'll drive you back later. " Qin Ran was about to take his jacket.

"There's no need to understand. Go ahead and busy yourself. I'm extremely happy to chat with you. I'll just take a taxi back. " Gu Xiaoxiao laughed, then stood up and left the house.

Unexpectedly, the moment Gu Xiaoxiao stepped out of the Xiaoran Studio's gates, she was met by the reporters. The cannons of the cannons had been blocked.

When the reporters saw Gu Xiaoxiao walking out, they immediately surrounded him like flies and asked a series of questions.

"Hello Miss Gu, all those years ago you and your good friend established this Xiaoran Studio, and after you left, were you willing to abandon this studio that was established with your good friend just to obtain the Huo Family's wealth?"

"Hello Miss Gu, I am a reporter from Entertainment Eight Weekly magazine. May I ask if you are the Gu family's illegitimate daughter as mentioned online? Regarding the heated discussion between you and An Ruo on the web, what do you have to say for yourself? "

"I'm sorry, I have no comment." Gu Xiaoxiao felt weak all over, and dizzy.

"Hello, Miss Gu, please take a look at this photo. Is this foreign handsome guy in the photo who acts so close to you your ex-boyfriend? " At this time, a tabloid reporter took out a picture of Dan Nier being taken secretly when he came to help out at the company's press conference.

Gu Xiaoxiao was immediately upset, she really wanted to rush out and create a bloody path in the encirclement of the reporters.

"Miss Gu!"

"Miss Gu, please answer our question …"

The reporters asked one question after another. Gu Xiaoxiao was unable to answer these questions, so she simply ignored them all. Gu Xiaoxiao looked around from the side of the road and quickly took a taxi to escape.

When Gu Xiaoxiao returned home, as if she had used up all of her energy, she threw herself onto the sofa as if she could no longer endure and hoped that the day would soon come.
