In fact, it was not just the first place on the list. Gu Xiao realized that almost all the top ten trending topics were occupied by her alone, and these trending topics were all criticizing her.

The trending topic was: # After Gu Xiao climbed up the social ladder, she despised her original family! #

#Gu Xiao is actually an ingrate. She doesn’t care about her poor parents after finding a sugar daddy!#

#Who is Gu Xiao!#

#There’s actually such a child in this world. Gu Xiao doesn’t deserve to live. Gu Xiao should die!#

This information rushed into Gu Xiao’s mind. It was almost the same as what had driven her crazy back then. For a moment, she was in a daze and could not differentiate between the past and the present.

“Xiaoxiao, I’m here!” Chu An hurriedly said when he saw Gu Xiao’s abnormal expression.

Gu Xiao gradually came back to her senses when she heard the familiar voice. After seeing his familiar face, Gu Xiao calmed down. At the same time, her heart became firm. “Don’t worry. I’m different from the past. 1 won’t do anything stupid now.”

After Chu An heard this, he still carefully observed Gu Xiao’s expression. Seeing that she was indeed exceptionally calm and didn’t look like she would do anything stupid, he was completely relieved. At the same time, he said, “Xiaoxiao, no matter what the situation is, I’ll stand by your side and help you. This time, you’re not the only one facing it.”

Gu Xiao agreed. “Okay!”

In the video, Xie Fang and Gu Shan were crying with snot and tears on their faces.

Xie Fang: “After Gu Xiao returned from participating in the show, she couldn’t adapt to life in the village. Moreover, she complained about us being farmers. In order to live a better life, she hooked up with Chu An, the second young master of the Chu family, and successfully entered No.i Middle School with his help. After that, she never contacted us again!”

After Xie Fang finished speaking, Gu Shan continued, “Gu Xiao didn’t even obey me after she came back. She even wanted to hit me.”

At this point, Gu Shan paused for a moment before continuing, “Actually, we didn’t want to say this either. After all, Gu Xiao is also our daughter. However, we really don’t have a choice. We can’t go from a small village to a prosperous small city. That’s why we posted the video. We hope that the netizens can help.”

[When 1 was watching the show, 1 felt that Gu Xiao was not a good person. Now, it seems that it’s true. For the sake of wealth, she actually refused to acknowledge the parents who raised her.]

[I’ve never seen the show before, but 1 don’t think such people who despise their parents deserve to live in this world! ]

[I don’t care if Gu Xiao despises her parents. 1 just want to know how she hooked up with the second Young Master of the Chu family. Does she have any special abilities?]

[What ability can she have? She only relied on her pretty face. However, 1 didn’t expect the young master of a wealthy family to be such a shallow person. Tsk tsk, indeed, all men in the world are the same.]

Gu Xiao scrolled through the comments and couldn’t help but laugh.

Upon seeing this, Chu An’s heart, which had just calmed down, became anxious again. He said worriedly, “Xiaoxiao…”

“Don’t worry, I’m fine. 1 just feel that if I’m not the person involved, 1 myself might believe this was the truth.” As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Xiao analyzed seriously. “Moreover, 1 feel that Ji Yao must have hired ghostwriters. Although there are very few people who speak up for me, every time one or two comments that speak up for me appear, they will quickly be erased and hidden in an inconspicuous corner.”

Chu An frowned when he heard this. Then, he took out his phone and started doing something on it.

Seeing Chu An like this, Gu Xiao pressed down on his hand and asked, “What are you doing?”

Chu An: “I’ll hire fake reviewers too. I’ll hire even more than Ji Yao. When the time comes, if Ji Yao’s fake reviewers slander you, our fake reviewers will also be mobilized. When the time comes, we ll post comments that push those from her side down the comments list.”

Upon hearing Chu An’s words, Gu Xiao looked at him as if he was a fool. Then, she said, “No matter what, you’ve been a general before. How can you just use the tactic of overwhelming numbers? Especially if we hire water armies like this, won’t it be too obvious? By then, everyone will be able to tell that something’s amiss.”

Upon hearing Gu Xiao’s words, Chu An felt that it made a lot of sense. He then asked, “Then what should we do?”

“Use your wits,” Gu Xiao said calmly.

Chu An’s eyes lit up, and he asked, “Then what should we do now?”

Gu Xiao glanced at Chu An and said, “That’s a good question. Don’t ask again next time, because the hardest part about using your wits is the difficulty of implementing it. I’ve thought of a simple method, but I can’t implement it.”
