Chapter 1632. Yesterday, I was being careless
"Okay."
Yi Xin nodded, listening to Qiao Xu:
"What do you want to eat? I’ll ask Moqing to buy something."
"Just something casual, I have no appetite."
Qiao Xu didn’t ask more, walked outside, and as expected, Lu Moqing was standing in the corridor outside the ward. Seeing her come out, he walked over.
Glancing into the room, he asked, "Is she alright now?"
"She should be fine, but she was probably frightened last night and doesn’t want to stay in the hospital."
At the bottom of Lu Moqing’s eyes, a hint of strangeness appeared when he heard Qiao Xu’s words, then he nodded.
"Since she doesn’t want to stay, don’t force it. Are you hungry? I’ll go buy you some breakfast."
"Sure, just get whatever you think is good."
Lu Moqing nodded. After he left, Qiao Xu returned to the room.
Yi Xin was sitting on the hospital bed, looking somewhat uneasy and still on edge.
Qiao Xu walked over and gently hugged her, "It’s okay, Moqing will handle this matter, don’t worry."
Yi Xin nodded, her face pale, "Sister-in-law..."
She hesitated to speak, as if the words she was about to say were difficult to utter.
"What’s wrong?"
After hesitating for a while, Yi Xin gritted her teeth and said, "Can we keep yesterday’s incident a secret?"
Qiao Xu was stunned, then smiled:
"Of course not, why would I bring it up?"
Yi Xin nodded, looking relieved and grateful towards Qiao Xu, saying:
"Even though I was the victim, there are always people who blame the victim in society. In the end, it will definitely affect me the most."
At this point, Yi Xin’s eyes reddened, "I was careless yesterday, following a group of big men into a private room alone. If the news gets out, public opinion will definitely say I deliberately provoked them, and that I deserved to be drugged."
As she said this, Yi Xin’s emotions became agitated.
Qiao Xu understood that there were always some scumbags in society who liked to find fault with victims and whitewash perpetrators.
As long as the disaster did not happen to them, they would never empathize.
With the rise of the internet, they hid behind their screens as keyboard warriors, and could use cyber violence to keep victims in fear, without having to bear any legal responsibility.
"Many people know my identity. If it gets out that I was drugged, Auston’s stock price will definitely fall. Now, there are not a few people in the family who want to covet my mother’s position. If this gets out, they will definitely use my incident to strike against my mother."
Qiao Xu nodded, fully understanding Yi Xin’s concerns.
Big families and in-fighting in listed enterprises were no less constant than in ancient palaces and courts.
Take their Qiao family for example. When it came to their grandfather’s generation, their great-grandfather had only one son, and so his cousins tried to scheme against him and deceive him of his property.
Back then, Grandpa joined the army and reached the top of power, those people stopped acting against him out of fear of him.
The struggle within Yi family must be even fiercer than that of the Qiao family.
It’s not hard to imagine how many people were unhappy when Yi Shu, who was just an ordinary woman, took the position of the head of a century-old family.
If not for Yi Shu’s competence, she might have been pulled off the stage by those people long ago.
