"Don't be fooled by how impressive she is now—she used to be like a madman!"
Chu Ran raised an eyebrow.
The tip was brief, only saying that at a banquet, Chu Ran suddenly went crazy and beat up many children. When Old Master Chu forced her to apologize, she looked unwilling, showing no manners. At the end of the post was a photo of Chu Ran being forced to bow her head.
All her muscles were straining, as if fighting against the old hand on her head.
The initial replies questioned the post's authenticity.
Because everyone assumed a child with E-level spiritual power had no combat ability. Although only Chu Zhenzhen had high talent in the Chu family, it was hard to believe that seven or eight children of the same age were beaten down by Chu Ran.
The tipster replied quickly, "She's weak, but the others were her relatives. How could they hit her? So she got the first strike. Otherwise, why would Old Master Chu force her to apologize? Because it was too embarrassing."
These words sparked some discordant voices.
"Speaking of which, I recently think the online insults toward the Chu family are a bit excessive. Old Master Chu once went to the battlefield and killed Zerg—how could he treat an orphan's child like that? I think the Chu family didn't pay much attention to her because they saw she had some dark side."
"Yes, I think so too. But it's understandable—suddenly losing her mother, a stepmother quickly entering the picture, and a highly talented sister being born—that kind of gap would be hard for anyone to take."
"But that doesn't justify randomly hurting people. A paranoid attitude, over time, no one can stand it. The Chu family didn't value her because her spiritual power was only E-level. I remember He Yi's property was donated by the Chu family, none kept."
"Come off it. Goldfish memory? You forgot so soon about Chu Ran being poisoned? How old was Chu Ran then!" Someone immediately jumped out to refute.
"Oh, I suggest you stop discussing this. As far as I know, it's deep waters—not just the Chu family's problem, might involve a certain association." Suddenly a VIP senior user popped up and said.
With that, the post fell silent for a long time.
A day later, someone suddenly cursed, "You dare to post? I was standing not far away when Chu Ran was forced to apologize! I heard clearly why Chu Ran hit you! You insulted her first—words too harsh to repeat—so she beat you up!"
"Those words, honestly, no one could tolerate. And what 'considering relatives' face'? It was clearly seven or eight of you couldn't beat a single E-level spiritual power person!"
This reply was like a drop of water splashing into hot oil—explosive.
"What, what? They really couldn't beat her? Oh my god, unbelievable!"
"Haha, why is it hard to believe? It's perfectly normal for someone like the OP who twists the truth to lose! Because all their energy goes into slandering others!"
"So, there's a pattern to Chu Ran's dominance in the live broadcast. If the Chu family had treated Chu Ran well, maybe it wouldn't have come to this, and the Chu family would have had two geniuses."
The remaining replies all mocked the Chu family.
Within half a day, someone posted with their real name.
It was Chu Zhenzhen, the original owner's half-sister.
"I feel terrible about everything my sister suffered, but I want to explain that my parents didn't condone others hurting her. Ever since I tested for spiritual power at age three, the family's resources have been tilted toward me. I know this may have been cruel to my sister, but to maintain the family's glory, Grandpa had no choice. I've trained hard these years to be worthy of those resources.
But after that, my sister became very withdrawn, rarely stayed home, and didn't communicate with the rest of the family.
So when relatives came saying my sister said many unpleasant things out of jealousy and went crazy when they rebutted her, Grandpa chose to believe them. At the time, Grandpa considered the possibility the relatives were lying, but he thought my sister was just an E-level spiritual power person and might need their help in the future, so he wanted to smooth things over by making her apologize, to avoid bigger trouble later.
When I saw the live broadcast, I actually wanted to explain to my sister, but too many things happened afterward—Grandpa disappeared, Father was severely injured and still unconscious, and my sister blocked all of us. I have no way to contact her. I don't know if she can see this post, but I want her to come home. Father is really badly hurt."
After this, few replied to the post.
Chu Zhenzhen, as an S-level spiritual power user, had many who dared not offend her, even though the Chu family seemed badly weakened.
But there were other geniuses besides Chu Zhenzhen. Within just a few minutes, an anonymous VIP senior user typed four words: "Full of hypocrisy."
Chu Zhenzhen replied quickly, "I don't know why you judge me like that, but everything I said is true. I know my sister was hurt, but the Chu family also raised her to eighteen. We didn't expect she would privately go to the Garbage Dump, and the poisoning incident was beyond our control."
To avoid involving a certain association, the moderator had to ban replies to the post.
"Respect everyone's views. Anyway, Chu Ran is better off now... ahem, doing well is enough."
Then many posts subtly mocking the Chu family sprouted like mushrooms.
"Don't take her words to heart," Jian handed Chu Ran a drink, angry. "Chu Zhenzhen is a huge hypocrite."
Chu Ran took it. "You know her?"
Jian curled her lip. "Met her a few times. Disgusted every time."
Chu Ran nodded understandingly.
"I never thought the Chu family would treat you so badly," Jian hugged a pillow and looked at the photo of Chu Ran being forced to bow on her Light Brain, pained. "So hateful."
"Yeah, so hateful," Chu Ran said, opening the drink and taking a sip.
Chu Ran looked at the photo in the post, her eyes deepening slightly. She reached out and tapped the original owner's face.
Why did you choose to commit suicide?
You held on for so long, didn't you?
Is my rebirth in this era related to you?
Suddenly, her Light Brain let out a ding—it was an invitation from the Spiritist Association.
Honorary Vice President? Five hundred thousand carats a year?
Seeing the content, Chu Ran was a little surprised.
The Spiritist Association still has spare money? They're so broke they're robbing people.
