Ye Nanxun, upon seeing this, had only one thought left - Zhiyuan Media Group had done a good job with this public relations campaign.
It was a clever way of whitewashing; an exemplary tactic in the entertainment industry. Of course, it also required the right timing and circumstances, like Xia Zhiyuan fainting and being admitted to the hospital. It all fit together seamlessly.
Then the PR tactics were put to use.
They first earned sympathy from the public over Xia Zhiyuan's illness and hospitalization, and then, they claimed that Xia Yao had been worried about her father's health and hadn't paid attention to what was happening online these past few days. By setting up her character as a dutiful and sympathetic daughter, they effectively explained why she hadn't spoken up before: it wasn't intentional, but due to her concern for her father's health and her absence online.
All these were just the groundwork. The final crucial step was yet to come.
