Chapter 133 Ruthless

As luck would have it, the Qi family was going to hold a family reunion banquet for Qi Xi in just two days.

So Li Rujun, unusually, thought of her biological daughter and called her, asking her to come home and try on the dress.

Qi Xi was busy with Yu Li's matter and only remembered it after leaving the police station, so he reluctantly made a detour to come over.

Unexpectedly, upon arriving at the Qi family's residence, they saw a group of servants rushing in and out in a hurry.

Qi Xi originally didn't want to get involved in the Qi family's affairs, but when she called Li Rujun and no one answered, she randomly grabbed a maid and asked.

I just learned that as soon as Qi Jianyue returned to the Qi family today, she locked herself in her room and even tried to commit suicide by overdosing on sleeping pills.

The whole household was busy, calling the family doctor and getting Qi Jianyue's stomach pumped. It was only with great difficulty that they managed to save her.

Li Rujun was so scared that her heart almost jumped out of her chest. Naturally, she stayed by Qi Jianyue's side at all times, completely forgetting about Qi Xi coming back to try on the dress.

After returning to the Qi family, the home with which she was truly related by blood, Qi Xi felt indifferent to everyone except for her uncle, Qi Chenyan, with whom she felt recognized.

But upon hearing that Qi Jianyue had attempted suicide by overdosing on pills, he immediately guessed that it was very likely because she had bought marketing accounts to slander Yu Li online, hoping to ruin Yu Li's show.

Unexpectedly, in less than a day, public opinion not only reversed, but it also attracted national attention and triggered a nationwide crackdown on the internet.

Those marketing accounts have probably already been taken away by the police for investigation, and Qi Jianyue, as the instigator, must be panicking.

And so, he turned around and went to the Qi family to stage a suicide attempt.

Qi Xi not only wanted to watch this spectacle, but also wanted to kick someone when they were down, revealing to the Qi family just how ruthless and vicious Qi Jianyue really was.

Qi Xi just smiled and went to watch the commotion, but unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived at the door, she heard the Qi family members defending Qi Jianyue.

Even after understanding the situation and knowing that Qi Jianyue had bribed marketing accounts to defame others online, they still went so far as to distort the truth and defend her.

In order to protect Qi Jianyue, he even went so far as to use his power and money to find a scapegoat to exonerate Qi Jianyue.

Qi Xi didn't care about the Qi family's indifference or their differential treatment of her and Qi Jianyue.

She had no real connection with the Qi family, and aside from sharing the same blood, she didn't want to have much to do with them.

But when this matter involved her best friend, even though Qi Xi had always been quite timid and afraid of trouble, she still felt compelled to confront it.

But as soon as Yu Li is involved, she can instantly turn from a little white rabbit into a lone wolf.

When Li Rujun saw Qi Xi, she was initially happy that she had returned, but after hearing her question, her face immediately darkened.

“Xi’er, what nonsense are you talking about? This matter has nothing to do with Yue’er. She was just confused for a moment, which is why she hired a marketing account.”

"But those rumor posts online are all edited by marketing accounts themselves. What does that have to do with Yue'er? Besides, Yue'er was so affected by this incident that she couldn't think straight and committed suicide by overdosing on pills."

"She's barely escaped with her life now, and she almost lost it because of this. Besides, I don't think the female host was affected much. There's no need to make a big deal out of this. We're doing this for the sake of the Qi family's reputation."

Listening to this high-sounding speech, Qi Xi only found it utterly ridiculous.

"You guys are really like this, you never get a slap on the head, you'll always be so self-righteous and arrogant."

"How could there be no impact? If Zhou Heran hadn't been willing to stand up and prove Yu Li's innocence through a live broadcast, and if public opinion hadn't reversed, not only the show, but her life would have been completely ruined by these low-cost rumors!"

Qi Xi angrily pointed at Qi Jianyue, "Do you all think Qi Jianyue is really a good person? She hired marketing accounts to spread rumors just to make the show canceled and unable to air smoothly?"

"When she spread rumors, she could have just started on the show, but all the so-called scandals she exposed online were aimed at Yu Li herself."

"They said she was pretending to be rich and even implied that she used her beauty to seduce Zhou Heran and others in order to invite these celebrities to participate in the program. Every rumor she made up was aimed at ruining her reputation."

"This kind of ruthless woman, in your mouths, has become the most innocent. If she really wants to atone for her sins, she should just swallow pills outside or jump off a high building."

"If she really dared to die, I would admire her for at least having some self-respect at the last moment. But clearly, her suicide attempt was a ruse to get you to settle this matter for her!"

Faced with Qi Xi's repeated accusations, Li Rujun was also stunned.

Involuntarily, his mind followed Qi Xi's train of thought.

Qi Jianyue's sudden return today in low spirits, and her attempt to commit suicide by swallowing pills after closing the door, is indeed very unusual.

As Qi Xi said, if Qi Jianyue really committed suicide because she couldn't think straight, she could do it outside without having to go home.

Could it really be as Qi Xi said...?

Just as Li Rujun was thinking about this, Qi Jianyue suddenly stood up, crying so hard that her face was streaked with tears, a sight that evoked pity.

"I never expected that my sister would think of me this way. I was wrong in this matter, and I deserve to die. I will die now to prove my true feelings!"

With that, Qi Jianyue rushed out.

Li Rujun hurriedly shouted, "Yue'er, don't do anything reckless! Xi'er, stop her quickly!"

Stop her? If Qi Jianyue really wants to commit suicide, Qi Xi will just kick her again, and she might not die a proper death.

But just as she rushed to the door, Qi Jianyue suddenly grabbed Qi Xi's hand.

Before Qi Xi could react, Qi Jianyue suddenly cried out and then leaned backward.

From Li Rujun and Qi Siyue's perspective, Qi Jianyue, who had rushed to the door in a moment of despair, was suddenly grabbed by Qi Xi.

Immediately afterwards, Qi Xi flung his hand and pushed Qi Jianyue off the building.

"Moon!"

Li Rujun covered her mouth and screamed, but Qi Siyue was faster and rushed out quickly.

When Li Rujun caught up with him, she reached the door and raised her hand, slapping Qi Xi, who was still in shock, hard across the face.

"Qi Xi, you have really disappointed me!"

“Yue’er is your sister. Even if you are not related by blood, she is still a member of the Qi family. How could you be so cruel as to push her off the building?”

"If anything happens to Yue'er, I will never forgive you!"

Her cheeks burned with pain. Qi Xi covered her face, tears welling in her eyes as she argued, "I didn't push her. She suddenly grabbed my hand and fell backward!"
