Chapter 135

Tang Xia was perturbed because something happened at the very time while she was at a loss what to do.

Tang Xia, who used to insist that she was iron, now was at her weakest time. But when she was distracted, instead of getting her pain out of her chest as most people did, she would always pretend not to care about this and show as if she were a general who never got into a panic.

But normally as she behaved, she was still rattled in her mind.

None of the senior leaders in the time-travel company would help her out since they believed that numerous up-and-coming youngsters would replace her no matter how excellent she used to be.

Thus, the senior leaders would not even care if she was still alive.

The utility room was out of the way and wasn’t attractive at all. But it was in this room that Tang Xia, the iron girl, opened and freed herself from the exhaustion which had troubled her for so long.

It was dark in the room and Tang Xia’s expression, desperate eyes, or disappointment could not be seen…

“Why? Why? I’ve tried so hard. Why would nobody lend me a hand? I believed they cared about me so much. Why? Is that because I’m not worthy of their help? No, it’s not.”

Her fans were verbally abused so severely by strangers that they had got afraid. Exhausted as she herself was, Tang Xia kept reminding her fans not to get themselves involved in disputes for her.

But she was in desperate herself on the other hand because she might leave the live show, abusing her fans’ trust and living in disrepute for the rest of her life.

Tang Xia pulled and was having a fight in her mind, without noticing her clenched fists, which showed her confusion and unwillingness.

She knew she was not worthy of the senior leaders’ voicing for her.

Tang Xia gritted her teeth and was fed up. She decided to leave the place where she freed her mind without telling anyone.

Tang Xia’s eyes fell on the alamos outside the windows when she walked along the corridor.

She then turned to look outside the windows.

In the miserable dark, the lonely light in the building stretched Tang Xia’s shadow long, which staggered like a bamboo swaying with the wind.

Tang Xia’s lonely shadow lowered her head. She walked with a sinking heart. She opened the door, walked into her bedroom, threw herself on the bed and covered her face with a pillow, disappointed.

Tang Xia had a dream, in which she was verbally abused by a flock of people. They denounced her dignity and some kept away from her, even including her parents.

She did nothing wrong, but no one would listen to her defense. Tang Xia reached out to grab them but found them ethereal air.

Tang Xia was awakened by the dream, looked feebly at the blank ceiling above her, and fell asleep after a long time, but keeping frowning.

In a company.

“President, this is what you have demanded. I’ve collated it for you.” A man in a business suit stood straight by the table.

Nobody knew why their president was obsessed with live shows and gave rewards to a female anchor named Tang Xia only.

His secretary catered for his pleasure and learned much about this. Miss Tang Xia had been in great trouble recently. The young president was likely to save his little idol.

“Ok. Just put it down. I’ll look into it.” The magnetic voice raised from the chair. Everyone would think him outstanding but they couldn’t see his face clearly due to the dim light.

“Ha-ha! Li Xianxian? Stop playing the babyish tricks. What will happen if I upload the video to the Internet? That must be interesting!”

His artist-like fingers moved across the screen and uploaded the video with some words. Then a jingling sound rang.

He added the letter “V” after the words.

“Aha! That’s interesting. Self-directed and acted by the famous anchor Li Xianxian. The truth will be fascinating with the video.”

He, Childe Chu, had been surfing the Internet for so many years but it was not until recently did he was attracted by Tang Xia, an anchor different from most others who were so florid and coquettish. He never thought that Tang Xia would be framed by Li Xianxian, who pretended to be virtuous.

How could he tolerate this?

The microblog was uploaded before dawn…

The next day, with her puffy eyes and a confused look, Tang Xia stared at her cellphone, which rang constantly.

“What are you doing?”

With some bewilderment, Tang Xia took up the cellphone and found an earth-shattering change in the Microblog, where no assertion that she should get out of the live show was found.

Instead, there were full of apologies from all stripes of fans as well as solicitude from her own fans. Tang Xia glanced over the blogs and found a man with a pet name of “Childe Chu”, who uploaded a blog.

This was the very blog that proved that she was innocent.

“Thank you so much!” @ Childe Chu V

These words were enough for Tang Xia to express her gratitude.

It was out of her expectation that someone would reveal the truth so soon. When she browsed Childe Chu’s blogs, she was surprised to find dozens of comments about her live show.

He could be one of her biggest fans.

Tang Xia, having been in an awful mood for several days, felt much better thanks to Childe Chu’s blog and there appeared a faint smile on her fresh face.

President Chu, of course, was so pleasant to see Tang Xia’s blog that people around him are confused and asked, “Who’s that amazing guy who pleased the President?”

It came to the second round. It was time for Tang Xia’s fans to strike back.

Her fans were in an agreement to find out the blog from Li Xianxian’s studio which vilified their idol.

The blog read like this:

Li Xianxian Studio V:

Poor Xianxian! @Tang Xia V How can you treat her like this? You’re so heartless!

Below was a Video.

Among the comments was a message saying that time-travel company had fired Tang Xia.

Fans launched their counter-attack and each sent their own verbal attacks:

Love Tang Xia: “Li Xianxian! You’re so shameless for saying that Tang Xia is scheming. Now it seems that you are the scheming girl!”

Tang Xia’s My Wife: “Li Xianxian! Thank you so much for lighting the fire in my heart. You’re so shameless, bitch!

Tang Xia’s Husband: “My ‘wife’ is so innocent. But she was framed by you, scheming girl.” “It’s so lucky that my ‘wife’ is ok, or you will face the consequence! Bitch!”

Love Tang Xia Only: “Li Xianxian, I thought you were a regular guy. Now I’m clear that you are so malice. I’m so sick about that. Get lost!”

Love Tang Xia Forever: “Li Xianxian, you are so shameless and scheming. Get out of the live streaming circle. Don’t let me feel sick!”

Love Tan Xia All My Life: “I agree with the last poster.”

They start fighting back.

Meanwhile, Li Xianxian was flustered when she saw this and consulted her studio for a solution.

“What should we do, now?” Li Xianxian said hurriedly.

“Wait for a while. Or you can make an apology.” The studio replied helplessly.

“No. How should you ask me to apologize? No, I won’t.” Li Xianxian said reluctantly.

“What else do you think we can do? Do you think I would do this if it was not for you? You must apologize, or I’ll terminate the contract with you.” The studio commanded.

“I’ll alleviate the situation first!” Li Xianxian tried to stall for time. “How did Tang Xia find such a helper and find out the original video?”

Li Xianxian typed with her shivering hands.

“No, I did nothing. Do believe me! I swear that I didn’t frame Tang Xia. Believe me, please!”

But her defense aroused even greater anger among the fans.

Anchor Li had always taken Tang Xia as her mortal enemy. She was the largest beneficiary if Tang Xia met with a mishap.

People who liked watching live shows were all shrewd enough to see through the tricks of the whole affair. So, Li Xianxian was cursed even more bitterly.

I Love Tang Xia: Wow! We haven’t said that you tried to frame Tang Xia. Do you want to confess yourself? Bitch.

Love Tang Xia: Shameless! You finally show up! Let’s siege her.”

Tang Xia’s My Wife: “You shameless and foolish bitch! How can you play such a childish trick on Tang Xia, Bitch?

Tang Xia’s husband: “Li Xianxian, how about changing your name into Bitch Li?”

Love Tang Xia All My Life: “Bitch Li, get out of the live streaming circle!”

Fan A: “+1!”

Fan B: “+1”

Fan C: “+1!”

Fan D: “+1”

The fans kept cursing.

Li Xianxian broke down under the mass attack and turned to the studio.

She phoned the studio and said, “What should we do? What should we do? Tell me! You blamed for doing such a bad job!”

The studio replied reluctantly, “There should be turnaround but it disappeared for your words.”

Li Xianxian hurriedly, “Then what should I do? Tell me. Should I make an apology?”

The studio replied, “Seeing from the current situation, the only solution is to apologize.”

Li Xianxian said helplessly, “Alright! That’s the only way!”

The next day, Li Xianxian held a press conference, where she extended her apology to Tang Xia. She bowed and said,

“I’m so sorry for hurting Miss Tang. But I don’t know who sent the video to my studio. It’s all my fault for I didn’t make it clear and aroused misunderstanding toward Miss Tang. I’m so sorry!”

She only knew that she had pierced her palm with her nails.

She never thought that she would one day make an apology to Tang Xia. Even Li Xianxian herself suspected that she might be a fool for “going for wool and come home shorn”.

In the meantime, Li Xianxian’s studio released a letter of apology and pushed the incident to the climax again.

Li Xianxian didn’t mean to harm. The video was sent by anonymity. She was crazed with rage and so she denounced Tang Xia.

The letter was consistent with Li Xianxian’s apology during the press conference and apologized with pure-heartedness.

It was clear that Li Xianxian pulled her out of this and depicted herself as a victim.
