Capítulo 1348: Chapter 1348: Her Ruthlessness 8

“No matter how much it’s for the child, the person is dead. Why is she tormenting a dead person? Isn’t this selfish? Can she do anything for her child, no matter the cost? I really don’t understand how you women think. Always saying it’s for the children, and then doing something so unjust and against family morals! There’s an old saying: ‘Respect the dead.’ Once someone’s buried, let them rest in peace. Did the dead provoke her? It’s not like the dead stole her child, so why is she fighting with a dead person?”

“Truly, the most poisonous thing is a woman’s heart, and beauties have hearts of snakes and scorpions.”

“What did you say?” Following that, the people in the conference room began arguing, each holding on to their own opinions.

Even though they were quarreling intensely, the next day, every major broadcast and newspaper reported He Zhilan’s words in full. They even exaggerated the story, with some papers severely criticizing He Zhilan as being ruthless.

When the newspapers hit the stands, sales were unprecedentedly high. Before noon, major publishing houses even rushed to reprint them.

He Teng and the others saw the newspaper at the police station. After reading it, everyone was stunned.

“No wonder Zhilan didn’t let us in yesterday. She probably didn’t want to scare us,” Lin Chan touched his nose, “But I didn’t think Zhilan was ruthless at all. Compared to Lan Song’s parents, her actions were gentle, right? After all, she was dealing with a dead person who couldn’t feel pain. How was that ruthless? These tabloids just criticize our Zhilan for sales and attention. It’s easy for them to talk when they’re not the ones affected!”

“Do you think Zhilan’s actions will successfully force Lan Song’s parents out?” Chen Yun tapped the table to get everyone’s attention off the newspaper, “Given how much Lan Song’s parents loved their son, they should, right?”

“There’s a high chance,” Qi Chengnan said, “Didn’t Lan Song’s parents want revenge for Lan Song? If they’re willing to let Lan Song’s remains be disturbed, can they really say they love their son?”

“Actually, Zhilan has gone all out. Although she has to endure a lot of social criticism, it’s a plan, better than being as passive as we were,” Chen Yun nodded, “We just need to remember to inform Bian Muhe, and make sure Zhilan in the hospital doesn’t see these tabloids, or she might get angry.”

Last night, after He Zhilan fainted in the hotel, she was sent to the hospital. Fortunately, it was just emotional exhaustion and fainting, nothing serious, but she was kept in the hospital.

“It’s probably too late,” Lin Chan shrank his neck, “Zhilan didn’t let He Teng and me into the press conference last night, so we didn’t know what she discussed with the reporters. When she fainted, we didn’t even think to ask, just worried about her health. After she woke up in the hospital, she requested a radio for entertainment and even asked a nurse to bring her more newspapers today to pass the time.”

“She should be mentally prepared,” Qi Chengnan said, “It takes tremendous psychological resilience to endure outsiders’ misunderstandings and abuse when she’s already exhausted. If you ask me, these people who call Zhilan ruthless should experience what it’s like to lose a child, see if they’d still make such careless remarks!”

At the hospital, He Zhilan had already learned from the radio and newspapers how much her words had stirred social unrest. Many criticized her, but there were also some who understood her.
