Netizens were discussing the matter enthusiastically, but Li Xi didn't want to intervene anymore, letting their imaginations and speculation run wild. She simply turned around and watched Zhuang Tianxin's video again.

Zhuang Tianxin is a good storyteller. At the beginning of the video, she directly pointed out the theme: "I was abused by my husband who once loved me deeply." After that, she began to describe the process of their acquaintance, understanding, and love. At each turning point, she would also add her own psychological activities at that time.

Then, the film emphasized their wedding of the century. Yes, theirs was a classic example of a domineering CEO's wedding in many novels—the wedding of the century. It even trended on local news.

After that, it was a dull married life. She said that he was very busy after marriage, busy looking for inspiration, busy cooperating with friends in the studio, busy looking for like-minded painters to discuss experience. He was so busy that he had no time to accompany her to deal with her parents, no time to go out with her on dates, and so busy that he didn't notice the changes in her body. Although the two had similar family backgrounds and it was a free love and arranged marriage, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law problem that existed since ancient times will not disappear because of these external reasons.

Since getting married, Zhuang Tianxin has rarely performed with the orchestra. Not only does Hua Er find her work life "too tiring," but Hua Er's mother also dislikes her daughter-in-law being out in the spotlight. Since neither mother-in-law nor daughter-in-law works or hangs out, wouldn't they be constantly facing each other, disliking each other? As the younger generation, Zhuang Tianxin naturally can't argue with her elders; in the end, she's the only one who suffers.

Therefore, not long after the marriage, Zhuang Tianxin lost a lot of weight, but Hua Er didn't notice it at all.

It's said that a son or husband is the best mediator between a mother-in-law and a daughter-in-law; as long as he's willing to mediate, the relationship won't be too tense. But Hua Er clearly isn't a considerate person. He didn't realize, or perhaps he did, but didn't care to intervene. Zhuang Tianxin's relationship with her mother-in-law has always been strained. As for her father-in-law, he actually admires her; it was he who initially selected her as his daughter-in-law.

Just, Mr. Hua

The identities of the two families involved in this preview were too far removed from netizens, leaving no one to even speculate, let alone dig out the identities of the melon-holders as they had previously done. Because of this, most people chose to ignore the word "domestic violence," as it didn't seem very realistic.

Moreover, while the gossip previously revealed by Haomen Bagutan was true, who can guarantee that it's always true? What if it reflects the blogger's personal bias? Be cautious when eating melons, or else you might feel comfortable cursing now, but when the reversal comes, netizens won't know how to cry.

This is precisely what Li Xi and Su Yu were aiming for. Ever since the first piece of gossip was released, they've been subtly guiding their fans: It's okay to enjoy the gossip, but before the evidence is in, don't attack anyone. And once the evidence is in, don't insult anyone maliciously. The internet isn't a lawless place, and recklessly spreading anger online can have real-life consequences.

A single entertainment account alone can't clean up the internet, but it can create a less hostile environment for fans. Since the account was created, Li Xi and Su Yu have deleted countless venomous fans and given countless kind entreaties to netizens to be more discerning. To prevent particularly offensive comments from appearing, Li Xi even had the top brass at Mian Lao Si write a program to filter comments on Rich Family Gossip. Any comments that mention the keyword won't be published, and even those that borderline are quickly deleted.

Sometimes Li Xi would despise herself. Isn't it just an ordinary social media account? Why did she use all that black technology? After despising herself, she would feel smug. Fortunately, this was the value system of "fictional world." Some black technologies that couldn't exist in real life were justified here. It's just that those who can use them are "experts" and ordinary people can't encounter them.

However, Li Xi was lucky enough to meet such a wonderful person as Mian Lao Si right from the start. So she was the chosen one?

Hahahaha okay okay...

After all that wandering thought, it was time to get down to business. While dealing with the Zhuang family, Li Xi and Zhuang Tianxin had already agreed on the script for the video, and Zhuang Tianxin had memorized it while her family wasn't paying attention. Li Xi had also selected the photos and evidence for the video, so once the video was recorded, it was just a matter of editing it in.

So, the day after the announcement was released, Li Xi arrived with her equipment—a camera and a voice recorder. Li Xi had originally thought that since the script was already written and the body language and rhythm for the recording had been discussed, Zhuang Tianxin could just use her phone to record it herself. Or perhaps she could ask her family for help.

Unexpectedly, Zhuang Tianxin specifically requested Li Xi's help. No one knew how she'd told her family, but the daughter-obsessed and sister-obsessed members of the Zhuang family looked at Li Xi with eager eyes, eager to help her agree. Li Xi, thinking she could help control the pace, agreed. Then, the Zhuang family's expressions became even more eager.

Li Xi was puzzled and later asked Zhuang Tianxin what she had said, but she just smiled and said nothing. Li Xi could only nip her curiosity in the bud and then went to the door carrying a DSLR camera.

The recording went surprisingly smoothly, perhaps because Zhuang Tianxin had rehearsed it beforehand, or perhaps because her emotions were too intense. After finishing the pre-arranged script, Li Xi felt like crying and punching someone.

Then, looking at Zhuang Tianxin, she beamed brightly. Well, the client had successfully undergone desensitization therapy under her own self-created "desensitization conditions," and she had almost emerged from the shadow of domestic violence. The recording just now was probably her last emotional outburst regarding this matter. From now on, she will be greeted by bright sunshine and gentle breezes.

Good.

Li Xi put away her previous complicated emotions, said goodbye to Zhuang Tianxin with a smile, then carried her SLR camera home and went to work on video editing.
