Figure Skating: Waltz on Ice

Upon hearing this, Du Langyue's tone became anxious.

[A suspension! Is it that serious? Explain yourself clearly.]

Du Langxing began to tell her about the content mentioned in the meeting.

After hearing this, Du Langyue pursed her lips and fell into deep thought.

Dulangxing hadn't heard from the other side for a long time, and his tone became increasingly urgent.

[This incident is having a very negative impact on Xiaochen, and the management is taking it very seriously. Sister, what's wrong with the people in your company? Xiaochen's video has been circulating online for days, why is it still so popular?]

Du Langyue was lost in thought when she heard her younger brother call her, and her wandering thoughts returned.

【I understand. I'll handle the video issue as soon as possible. Please keep an eye on Xiaochen's condition and call me if anything happens.】

I understand. I'll go back to Harbin tomorrow to talk to him and try to comfort him.

Du Langyue hung up the phone and dialed a number with a sullen face.

[Hello? What's up, honey? Your mom and I are just about to go to the movies.]

Du Langyue's first call wasn't to the company to handle the video's popularity, but to Du Junzhi.

"Dad, don't watch the movie yet, Xiaochen has been suspended."

Upon hearing this, the person on the other end of the phone paused in breathing.

【Wait a moment.】

As Du Langyue listened to her mother's voice on the other end of the phone, she knew her father wanted to find a quiet place to talk to her alone. She took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, trying to expel the pent-up emotions in her heart. She suddenly regretted listening to her father and letting the video spread online.

Soon, Du Junzhi's rough voice came from the other end of the phone again.

[Yueyue, tell me now, what's the story behind Xiaochen's suspension?]

[It's all your fault for telling me not to get involved in Xiao Chen's affairs. Now the leaders at the General Administration think the two of them have a very bad influence and have directly suspended them for three months!]

Du Langyue's exasperated voice made Du Junzhi feel extremely guilty, but in order to make his grandson face reality, he could only let things continue as they were.

Actually, he didn't do anything excessive. He just told his daughter not to interfere in Du Liangchen's affairs and let the videos spread online. When the popularity dropped, he secretly spent money to boost the popularity again.

Du Junzhi was very dissatisfied with Du Langyue's attitude towards him and said in a very serious tone.

[Have you forgotten how your brother was after his breakup? They've always been rivals; problems were bound to arise eventually. Isn't it a good thing that their conflict has surfaced now? A three-month suspension and a warning, not outright expulsion, is already a good thing. Now they're facing choices between their future and their love lives. Just watch, they're bound to argue, maybe even break up.]

Du Langyue understood his thoughts, but she didn't agree with them. Listening to her father's long-winded explanation that he still didn't think he had done anything wrong, she felt heartbroken and finally couldn't hold back anymore and exploded.

[You're always right. Just because Langxing is unhappy doesn't mean Xiaochen will definitely follow the same path. Xiaochen is Xiaochen; he's more clear-headed than Langxing.]

[None of these things have happened yet, so what makes you so certain? We clearly have the ability to stop it, so why are we letting it go unchecked?]

[Isn't this a classic case of forcing a child to suffer when they haven't experienced it? Don't forget that Xiao Chen has been subjected to cyberbullying for a long time, making him psychologically fragile. Long-term use of traditional Chinese medicine to treat his depression has had minimal effect; every season, he still suffers from insomnia night after night due to excessive mental stress.]

[By doing this, you're not making him realize that the person he likes is unreliable; you're driving him to his death!]

Du Langyue blurted out her thoughts, and Du Junzhi on the other end of the phone fell into a long silence.

[Dad, what you're saying might happen in the future, but it can only be caused by conflicts in their relationship itself, not by us, their closest family members.]

Have you considered how Xiaochen will interact with us if he finds out about this? He's your grandson, not your enemy!

[You know better than any of us how Xiaochen got to where he is today. You told me before not to get involved in Xiaochen's affairs, but I didn't expect it would lead to his suspension. Now I won't listen to you anymore.]

After venting her feelings and what she wanted to say, Du Langyue hung up the phone without waiting for a response from the other end.

Du Langyue took a deep breath to calm herself down, glanced around, and only left the airport when she saw that no one was paying attention or eavesdropping.

She now needs to go back to the company for a meeting to deal with online issues.
