The bedroom of the villa was a sea of tears.
Qiu Tong coaxed Little Yu to stop crying and promised softly, “Mommy will think of a solution for the video. You don’t have to worry about it.”
Qiu Xingyuan and Qiu Xingqiao exchanged glances. They waited for Qiu Tong to turn in for the night before bringing Little Yu to the living room for an emergency meeting.
The three children were dressed in their pajamas and huddled quietly on the sofa. They frowned when they saw Qiu Tong’s video spreading online.
Little Yu finally understood why her siblings were behaving so strangely. She pouted and suggested, “Why don’t I hack the video and delete it?”
“I just need to modify and block the source code of the video. No one will be able to view the video on the website!”
“I can also remove all the trending searches online. It will be a very simple task… I can do everything quickly!”
Little Yu said confidently. Qiu Xingyuan and Qiu Xingqiao also felt that the method was feasible.
Just as the two of them were about to nod at her to confirm the details, they heard light footsteps coming from the darkness.
Qiu Xingyuan immediately stopped talking. Qiu Xingqiao glared fiercely at Ye Luan, who had just come out of the room. He put his index finger to his lips and said, “Shh!”
“Don’t let some annoying fellow overhear our plan!”
Ye Luan had been feeling a little thirsty and was about to go to the kitchen to fetch water. This was when he chanced upon the children discussing. When he heard Qiu Xingqiao’s hostile words, he stood in front of the water dispenser with an indifferent expression. He did not speak up to defend himself.
In the dim light of the living room, all four children had different expressions. The atmosphere was a little comical.
Qiu Xingqiao clenched his fists and muttered angrily, “Perhaps he came out on purpose just to make fun of us.”
“He must have seen the video online…”
When Ye Luan heard Qiu Xingqiao’s conjecture, he turned around and interrupted him coldly. With an indifferent expression, he reminded him, “Although I have no intention of participating in your plan, I am nice enough to advise you not to delete the original video.”
“Although deleting the video can temporarily reduce discussion about this, it might cause more serious misunderstandings. People might think that Auntie Qiu is deliberately hiding the truth.”
“The netizens’ attitude towards her will become even worse. What you need to do is to solve the problem from the root. For example… you need to personally respond and clarify things.”
Ye Luan was grateful for Qiu Tong’s care. After he finished his suggestion, he turned around and returned to his room, closing the door with a bang.
The three children had conflicted expressions after being scolded by him.
Qiu Xingqiao frowned and retorted in a hoarse voice, “We know that too. There’s no need for him to tell us!”
“He’s just a few years older than us, but already knows how to put on airs! Hmph…”
Qiu Xingyuan sat silently at the side. Instead, it was Little Yu who quietly tugged at Qiu Xingqiao’s sleeve. She said in a small voice, “Second Brother, Brother Ye Luan seems to be making sense. Even if we delete the existing videos, someone might release more.”
“Why don’t we record a video to clarify things?”
Little Yu stared at Qiu Xingyuan and Qiu Xingqiao with sparkling eyes. They looked a little awkward and did not answer, but in their hearts, they had already tacitly approved of this plan of action.
Qiu Xingyuan took the initiative to find a suitable location to record the video. Little Yu ran quietly around the living room to fetch the necessary things. Qiu Xingyuan adjusted the height of the camera.
The three children were ready and Qiu Xingyuan pressed the start button.
