Chapter 630: They Didn’t Hide It on Purpose

Chapter 630: Chapter 630: They Didn’t Hide It on Purpose

But the old lady was a clever person; she understood the perils of holding a treasure.

If Shi Yaoguang had not possessed medical skills, naturally, no one would have harbored any expectations of her.

Yet...

If word got out that she was skilled in medicine, it would inevitably lead to many people wanting Shi Yaoguang to help treat their illnesses.

If Shi Yaoguang agreed,

She would be met with nothing but endless toil.

With so many patients waiting to be treated, the moment Shi Yaoguang helped one, it would give others ample reason to demand the same treatment from her.

If Shi Yaoguang were unwilling, then the blame would fall on her.

Such a person, naturally does not deserve to be a public figure.

After all, it is nothing more than moral abduction.

Even though everyone is aware that it’s moral abduction, for the sake of their own lives, they would still show their ugliest faces, demanding that Shi Yaoguang step forward to help them.

In fact, the old lady had initially entertained such thoughts herself.

It was precisely because she knew how immoral moral abduction was, that she felt even more compelled to keep secret the news of Shi Yaoguang saving her son.

Of course, if one day Shi Yaoguang chose to reveal this news herself, the old lady wouldn’t hold her back; she would be the first to step forward and express her gratitude to Shi Yaoguang.

...

At first, Shi Yaoguang truly hadn’t noticed any problem.

When the old lady came to her seeking help, out of humanitarianism, Shi Yaoguang helped her, as she had the ability to do so.

The old lady’s son would recover and be able to serve society better, right?

It wasn’t until the old lady could no longer hold back and revealed to her that her son had always been live broadcasting his daily struggle with the disease.

He was nearly dead, and then suddenly he was lively as a dragon again—who wouldn’t be suspicious?

Those who hadn’t been following his story might think he had been faking illness from the start.

Only those who had been watching him from the beginning knew that, indeed, he was on the brink of death and quite frail.

It was from a certain day onward that he suddenly got better.

As for how he got better, he himself didn’t want to say, and they could only dig for that information on their own.

The day after the old lady and Shi Yaoguang had their frank discussion, Shi Yaoguang’s identity was exposed by someone.

As the old lady’s son was live broadcasting his illness, it was unavoidable for the old lady, as a mother, to make an appearance.

Her kneeling at the gate of Emperor University to beg Shi Yaoguang was captured by a netizen with a motive.

Because of Shi Yaoguang’s tendency to prove people wrong, no one dared to initiate any speculative rumors at first.

One moment, several old men were on the verge of kneeling before Shi Yaoguang, and everyone had just finished mocking her, and the next, the identities of these old men were verified.

They were all hoping for Shi Yaoguang to join their research institute while kneeling, not to mention that they never actually knelt down, and even if they truly did, it was voluntary, and it was what Shi Yaoguang rightfully deserved.

It was precisely because of the lesson from the old professors at the research institute that the people who witnessed the old lady kneeling before Shi Yaoguang at the gates of Emperor University captured the scene but didn’t dare to publicize it widely, fearing they might suddenly get discredited.

Even though they didn’t start any rumblings online, they could still draw the attention of those with intentions.

The points of interest for netizens online may vary, but inevitably there will be overlapping concerns.

And here it is.

When a netizen was scrolling through Weibo, they saw the image of an old lady kneeling down to Shi Yaoguang captured by a passerby, and they remembered it.

Then, netizens stumbled upon the news that the old lady’s son had miraculously recovered from his illness.

After seeing the familiar old lady on this news page, netizens went back to take another look at the old lady who had kneeled before Shi Yaoguang.

After carefully comparing the facial features of the two individuals, they finally confirmed that the old lady was indeed that old lady.

Then, without any hesitation, netizens rushed to post their speculation online.

Netizen "Cat That Doesn’t Eat Watermelon": "Great joy to all, the mysterious doctor you’ve all been searching for has been found by me, and I’m about to unveil the secret!"

Not Eating Watermelon Cat posted several tweets in succession, with the gist of the tweets being his guesses about the doctor who saved the old lady’s son, along with pictures of Shi Yaoguang’s meeting with the old lady and the old lady’s presence in her son’s livestream room.

With such conclusive evidence, it was naturally not difficult to figure out what was going on.

And then...

Shi Yaoguang was trending once again.

Some netizens, seeing Shi Yaoguang’s name back on the trending list, inevitably developed a sense of aversion towards her.

No one cares about national affairs, but they race to report on every trivial bit of news about performers.

With this in mind, they clicked on the trending hashtag #ShiYaoguangTheMiracleDoctor.

Three seconds later.

Ahhhhhhhh!

Getting charmed is business as usual.

Of course, many people were filled with skepticism towards Shi Yaoguang.

They didn’t believe that such an all-capable person could really exist in this world.

"I agree that Shi Yaoguang is a good actress, but to say an actress with good acting skills has medical knowledge? Isn’t that a joke?"

"Claiming Shi Yaoguang is a miracle doctor based on two photos? Isn’t that too funny? If she’s a Shu Chang -level miracle doctor, then who in the world can’t practice medicine?"

"Please, those of you who are hyping up Shi Yaoguang’s medical prowess, could you stop and think about what Shi Yaoguang does for a living? She’s an actress, a celebrity! She’s so good at acting, and unless she ostentatiously tells you she’s performing, can you really tell whether she’s acting or doing something else?"

"I’ve really never seen netizens as foolish as you all. To borrow a phrase from your homeroom teacher, you guys are the worst class I’ve ever taught!"

"Let’s be honest, hasn’t Shi Yaoguang been a bit too active lately? Isn’t she an actress? If she’s an actress, shouldn’t she just focus on acting? She’s always on the trending lists, as if she owns them, or is she just waiting for her sponsor to get on top and take charge?"

"Since she’s decided to do marketing, she should know that it’s not easy, and going to extremes will inevitably lead to criticism."

"Had I known how good Shi Yaoguang was at self-promotion, I would have supported Shi Yiqing in the first place, at least she wouldn’t live on the trending list."

The old lady and her son were also following the online news.

In the end, this incident was something they hadn’t considered thoroughly.

If they had informed Shi Yaoguang early on about the livestream, perhaps they could have found a better solution, instead of just exposing Shi Yaoguang’s identity like this.

Now look, Shi Yaoguang’s identity has not only been exposed but also nobody believes it.

The old lady herself didn’t know whether Shi Yaoguang should now admit to her identity or not.

If she admitted it, she would inevitably be sought after for help.

She simply couldn’t handle it all; helping anyone seemed rather inappropriate.

But if she didn’t admit it, wouldn’t she just be waiting to be ridiculed?

The old lady felt extremely guilty at this moment and didn’t know how to face Shi Yaoguang.

Shi Yaoguang knew that the old lady hadn’t intentionally hidden the fact that her son was livestreaming. She had simply forgotten in her moment of excitement. Since it wasn’t intentional, Shi Yaoguang naturally didn’t think it was right to blame the other party. Besides...
