Just when the production team was overwhelmed by the contestant's issues, Qiao Yiyi recorded a video and issued an announcement.
In the video, she put away her usual docile appearance, put on a serious expression, and bowed solemnly to everyone.
"I'm sorry to take up so much time for this announcement, but in light of the online comments about my parents and the attacks on me, I feel the need to clarify."
Although she didn't know why Wu Xiuying and her husband suddenly caused trouble at this time, since the bomb had exploded and they had taken the initiative to break up, there was no need for Qiao Yiyi to argue with them anymore.
They were not her biological parents, and had no affection for the original owner at all. Qiao Yiyi felt that it was time to deal with these messy relationships.
In the video, she explained the whole story and made the original owner's life story clear to the general public.
"I was sold to someone else when I was born. When I was fourteen, my adoptive parents passed away and I was taken home by my biological parents..."
"My biological parents only raised me for a little over a year before they planned to marry me off to the stupid son of a nouveau riche in the village. I refused, and they beat me. I had no choice but to flee from that home..."
When Qiao Yiyi said this, her expression gradually changed from calm and serious at the beginning to painful and sad. Finally, she raised her head and blinked hard, trying to suppress the tears overflowing from her eyes.
Having filmed two movies with two well-known directors and received guidance from veteran actors and professional actors, Qiao Yiyi's acting skills cannot be said to be superb, but she can still perform a crying scene with ease.
In addition, the behavior of the original owner's parents was so abominable that even if she was acting, this crying scene was mixed with real emotions, so it looked even more moving.
"Although they gave birth to me, they didn't raise me. To me, they are even worse than my deceased adoptive parents. I ran away from home for so many years, and they never looked for me once. Now they come out to accuse me of wrongdoing..."
Netizens did not expect such a reversal, and some have begun to empathize with her and feel sorry for her.
[It turns out Qiao Yiyi's life story was so tragic. No wonder she had always been reluctant to talk about her family.]
[I ran away at the age of sixteen to fight on my own... What was I doing at sixteen? ]
[I suddenly understand why Qiao Yiyi acted like that in the past. If I had such a childhood, I might have become twisted long ago. Emmm]
[Wait! You believe this already? What if Qiao Yiyi made this up? She's deliberately playing the victim to gain sympathy and get everyone to side with her.]
You're right. These days, people get slapped in the face too quickly. It's better not to take sides easily.
Qiao Yiyi's life experience has caused a stir on the Internet again, but netizens immediately regained their rationality after their emotional reactions and decided to wait and see.
The operations director of Star Dream Entertainment felt a little nervous when he saw the video posted by Qiao Yiyi. He didn't expect this woman to be so bold as to tell everyone about her life story without caring about her image or face at all.
Fortunately, netizens were rational and were not fooled by her.
While everyone was waiting and watching, the director immediately sent a group of internet trolls to lead the pace, and at the same time asked someone to inform Wu Xiuying and her husband to keep their mouths shut and stick to it.
Then there was another video: "A netizen filmed Qiao Yiyi's mother who fainted on the ground after seeing Qiao Yiyi's video. After she woke up, she pounded the ground in grief and scolded Qiao Yiyi for being unfilial."
This has left netizens with no choice but to accept that each of them has their own reasons.
Each side insisted on their own story, and both described themselves as pathetic. Who was telling the truth and who was lying? Coupled with the large number of online trolls stirring up trouble, the tone gradually shifted towards blaming Qiao Yiyi.
[Whether it's true or not, the grace of your parents in giving you life is greater than heaven. Since your parents gave you life, you should treat your family well.]
"Yes, you have your parents' blood flowing in your body. Even if they treated you badly in the past, we are still family. How much hatred can there be between family members?"
[Ultimately, Qiao Yiyi is just cold-blooded. The entertainment industry is so lucrative, yet she's unwilling to even spend money on her own parents. The image she created before was all fake!]
[They're also animal ambassadors, and have been singled out for national recognition... I don't think an artist who can't even treat their own parents well deserves this.]
[Yes, she's not worthy! Qiao Yiyi should just quit the entertainment industry. She's always causing trouble, making the internet a mess. I'm sick of seeing her name now.]
[They don't have a single work of their own to show for it, but they're really good at hype.]
[It is recommended that such artists should stay out of the public eye. They will teach children bad things, and they will follow their example and become disrespectful to their parents.]
[Tag the official national Weibo account, strongly suggesting a crackdown on bad artists like Qiao Yiyi.]
Seeing the wind direction gradually moving towards the opposite side of Qiao Yiyi, Qi Shaocheng's mouth curled up into a satisfied smile.
This was the situation he wanted: to trample Qiao Yiyi under his feet, and when she couldn't get up, she would naturally come to him. By then, she would let him control her.
Qi Shaocheng had a very good plan.
But at this moment, a document exposed by a well-known marketing account appeared in the public eye.
The documents were displayed by some photos, which showed the procedures for Qiao Yiyi's adoptive parents to adopt her - rather than a procedure, it was more like a contract to sell their daughter.
"Qiao Yiyi" was sold to an infertile couple for 10,000 yuan.
Written in black and white were the couple's neat signatures and a fingerprint. The signature was blurred, but the fingerprint was clear, and after comparison, the fingerprint information was collected and confirmed to be that of Qiao Yiyi's biological father, Qiao Dahong.
In addition, there are voice recordings from some villagers in Qiao Yiyi's village.
"Yes, the Qiao family's fourth daughter was brought back after she grew up, but she ran away within two years. This is something that everyone in the village knows."
"Go to school? Their family is so poor, how can they afford to go to school? And for a girl, anyway."
"She was promised to the Zou family, and I was the matchmaker. It's just that the Qiao family is unlucky. They agreed on a 200,000 yuan betrothal gift, but the daughter ran away."
…
Although these villagers spoke with a strong local accent, some people could still understand them. In addition, the person who exposed this information also made a text version, which made the voice and text even clearer.
Faced with this series of documents, netizens completely believed that what Qiao Yiyi said in the video was true.
Qiao Yiyi’s fans are heartbroken.
After being bullied for so long, I finally made it through. However, some people are like fence-sitters who change sides at the drop of a hat and say hurtful words without thinking.
They really hide behind the Internet and think they can verbally attack others at will without bearing any legal responsibility.
And this couple of parents, how could they have the heart to treat their daughter like this, and put their daughter in the center of the storm at this time?
Even those who are not fans of Qiao Yiyi feel sorry for her.
[Oh my god, she was sold for 10,000 yuan. Are these parents human?]
[The key point is that she was sold twice: at birth and again when she grew up! I can't believe what kind of life Qiao Yiyi would be living now if she hadn't escaped!]
[How could these parents do such a thing as marrying off their daughter before she even reaches adulthood, and she's such a fool!]
[As a mother who just gave birth to a daughter, I don't know why I felt so moved to tears after seeing this. Even if you offered me millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, I wouldn't be willing to sell my daughter!]
Some parents are truly unworthy of being parents. They give birth to children but don't raise them, and even suck the blood of their own children.
How dare they come to Qiao Yiyi and criticize her? How dare they be so bold!
Qi Shaocheng didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, public opinion on the Internet would turn to Qiao Yiyi's side. He was so angry that he threw the wine glass in his hand to the ground and asked the operations director what was going on and where the marketing account got the information. He quickly contacted them and asked them to delete it.
The operations director hung his head, looking trembling with fear. "We've already contacted them, but they won't delete it, and they won't reveal who gave it to them."
"Where's the money? Don't you know how to spend it?"
“They said they had enough money.”
Qi Shaocheng was so angry that his face turned pale and blue, but he also knew that it was completely useless to rely on Qiao Yiyi's parents to ruin her image.
She is so lucky. She was safe and sound when she fell off the horse last time. This time, public opinion is about to overwhelm her, and this incident happened again.
When Qi Shaocheng was so angry that he almost overturned the table, He Yao came out of Zhao Anna's new company.
"I didn't expect you to care so much about our Yiyi that you prepared these things early in the morning."
Zhao Anna opened the car door and let He Yao in.
He Yao looked up, also with a look of surprise: "I didn't expect you to have so many marketing accounts under your control. Haven't you always been very disdainful of these things?"
Zhao Anna smiled faintly: "We have to keep up with the trend of the times, right? Isn't there a popular saying on the Internet, use magic to defeat magic."
"That's true." He Yao did not comment.
Anna Zhao stopped him from closing the car door: "Yiyi has already told me that she will come to our company when her contract expires. Don't try to steal her from me!"
He Yao looked nonchalant: "What if I insist on snatching it from you?"
Zhao Anna was irritated by him: "Your studio has signed so many artists, she is not the only one you need."
He Yao said calmly, "We don't need her, but we don't need her any more either."
Zhao Anna: "I will give her more resources."
He Yao: "I can do that too. In fact, I will give her better resources."
Zhao Anna: “…”
She knew He Yao's connections and status in the entertainment industry, and the resources she had were far incomparable to his.
She slammed the car door.
I should have known not to cooperate with this old fox. He took all the benefits.
He Yao looked at her rare wonderful expression, smiled and drove away.
In the players' lounge, Xiong Ying excitedly jumped in front of Qiao Yiyi, holding her phone. "Sister Yiyi, look, the online sentiment has changed!"
So fast?
Qiao Yiyi didn't expect that her short video would work so quickly. It was not until she saw a series of files posted by a big V blogger that she knew what was going on.
Who found these files?
Who collected this information so early?
Qiao Yiyi called Zhao Anna immediately and asked if she did it.
She couldn't think of anyone else who had the ability and could help her except Sister Anna.
Zhao Anna hadn't recovered from the anger she had just received from He Yao. She snorted, "The number is mine, but He Yao found those documents."
"He Yao?" Qiao Yiyi was extremely surprised. "How could he..."
After hanging up the phone, Qiao Yiyi immediately sent a WeChat message to He Yao, asking him what was going on.
He Yao was still driving. After receiving the message, he drove the car to the safe lane and stopped on the side of the road. He replied: I had a premonition that they would cause trouble, so I asked someone about it.
Qiao Yiyi looked at the message he sent back. She only knew that he had asked a lawyer for help to inquire before, but she didn't expect him to do so much.
Her heart warmed, and a strange feeling inexplicably welled up in her.
Qiao Yiyi typed slowly and felt her ears getting hot: Why are you helping me?
Why help her?
He Yao stared at the line of small words and listened to the cars whizzing past outside the window.
He didn't know why either.
I don't know when it started, but I started paying attention to her silently. This junior who used to work in the same company with me was always surrounded by rumors and mixed reviews.
Some people use all kinds of bad words to slander her, while others like her regardless of other people's opinions.
She is full of contradictions. Sometimes people feel that she can do anything, and sometimes people think it is a miracle that she can survive in the entertainment industry, which seems glamorous on the surface but has undercurrents.
It can sing like a bird, climb trees, and do many other strange things with animals.
She can also cook a table full of delicious meals... although I haven't been able to eat them yet.
More importantly, he had no aversion to contact with her.
Thinking of this, He Yao couldn't help but smile. He replied, "Didn't I mention inviting you to our studio before? Is our PR good enough?"
Qiao Yiyi: “…”
She didn't know why, but after receiving such a reply, she felt a slight sense of loss in her heart.
She pressed the keyboard on the screen hard: Very good!
The person opposite him rested his hands on the steering wheel, supporting his chin and smiling softly.
Without saying anything more, Qiao Yiyi thought of another thing.
She immediately called Baomei and asked her to quickly find her adoptive parents and relocate them.
The public opinion storm about her has passed, but at the same time, the spearhead has also been directed at Wu Xiuying and her husband. Now the Internet is full of people scolding them, and the words are fierce and impulsive.
The elderly couple had shown their faces in the video, and Qiao Yiyi was worried that netizens would do something unkind to them. Although the couple owed their daughter too much and their actions were unworthy of being parents, they were still the ones who gave the original owner life, and they were old. If anything really happened, she couldn't bear the consequences.
Sure enough, when Baomei arrived at the restaurant, she saw Wu Xiuying having a fierce argument with the restaurant owner.
It turned out that the restaurant owner saw the comments online while watching the video and realized that the aunt he hired was Qiao Yiyi's inhumane mother.
He was afraid that keeping this aunt in the store would affect his business, so he planned to fire her. Unexpectedly, she refused to leave and made a fuss like a shrew.
Seeing that the noise was getting louder and louder, the boss paid her wages and kicked her out, but she immediately sat at the door of the store crying and calling herself a black-hearted boss.
The customers in the restaurant looked over curiously, and the customers who were about to come in to eat frowned when they saw this scene and planned to go to another restaurant.
The boss didn't know what to do anymore. He was completely helpless against her and finally understood how Qiao Yiyi felt like she had no way to defend herself.
"It's really hard for Qiao Yiyi to have parents like you!"
"What did you say?" Wu Xiuying threw a tantrum, sitting on the ground and glaring at her boss. "You also know about that unfilial Qiao Yiyi?"
The boss sighed heavily, completely at his wit's end.
He took out his cell phone and showed her the pictures.
Wu Xiuying turned her head and said, "Don't give me these fancy words. I can't read."
The boss said, "Sister, everyone knows you've wronged your daughter, and they're all scolding you. You'd better go back!"
Wu Xiuying's face changed when she heard this, but she still refused to get up: "I don't believe it. It's clearly her who is unfilial."
The people eating around began to talk in low voices.
"So it was her, the one who sold her own daughter?"
"I can't believe I was fooled by her at first. I thought they were pitiful. Now it seems that there must be something hateful about pitiful people!"
"There are actually parents like this who give birth to children but don't raise them, then turn the tables and blame them when the children grow up. If I had parents like that, I would cut off all ties with them."
"I think Qiao Yiyi is famous now and has a lot of money, so she wants to extort money from him."
"Who says it's not? Wasn't there a case in the entertainment industry where parents used their own self-discipline to sue someone before?"
"Yes, there are also people who ask their daughters for money for gambling and ruin their own daughters if they don't give it. They are really vicious."
Although Wu Xiuying was old, she was not deaf and had good hearing. The restaurant was not very big, so she could hear all the discussions.
She was secretly shocked. How could it be different from what that person told her? Didn't he say that if he exposed Qiao Yiyi to the public, she would be helpless and would give him the money?
When she was puzzled, a passerby could no longer bear it and walked up to her and said fiercely: "Hey, Auntie, stop pretending. We all know who you are."
Wu Xiuying shrank her fat body, but still held her head high and argued boldly: "How can you, a young man, talk to an old man like that? You don't know how to respect an old man at all."
The burly young man clenched his fists upon hearing this. "Old man? Respect? I finally understand—some old people haven't become bad, it's the bad guys who have grown old. Are you leaving or not? If not, I'll call the police!"
Wu Xiuying was frightened when she saw his clenched fists. She wanted to say something, but backed off when she saw the other person's fierce face.
Just at this moment, Baomei arrived.
She was very confused about Sister Yiyi's instructions. Since people treated Sister Yiyi like this, why should she still care about them?
But even though she complained in her heart, she still stepped forward and helped Wu Xiuying up from the ground.
Wu Xiuying recognized Qiao Yiyi's assistant and her eyes lit up: "Yiyi agreed?"
Baomei frowned: "Don't worry about it, just follow me first."
Wu Xiuying thought Qiao Yiyi had given in under pressure and was going to give her the money, so she stood up, dusted herself off, and spat at the shop owner: "Bah, if you don't let me work here, then I won't. Who cares!"
Anyway, she will have money soon.
The disgust on Baomei's face became more and more obvious, but she had to patiently take her to the car.
After being taken to the hotel they had booked in advance, Wu Xiuying realized that this was not the house she had rented, nor was it near Qiao Yiyi. She panicked and asked, "Where are you taking me?"
Baomei sneered in her heart and was quite vigilant.
She told Wu Xiuying: "Sister Yiyi will be back tomorrow. Your place is not very convenient. You can discuss the details after she comes back tomorrow."
Wu Xiuying snorted disdainfully: "She's sensible."
Baomei shook her head and ignored her.
When they arrived at the hotel, Wu Xiuying thought it was not bad to stay in a hotel. The room they rented was shabby and small, and it was very uncomfortable for three people to squeeze into one room.
Once Qiao Yiyi gives them the money, they can go back to their hometown and buy a house.
Thinking of this, Wu Xiuying felt very excited.
Baomei swiped the door card. Qiao Dahong and Qiao Panpan had already been picked up. Seeing Wu Xiuying, Qiao Panpan rushed over with tears in her eyes: "Mom, let's go back."
Wu Xiuying was still immersed in the joy of being surrounded by money. When she heard her son's voice, she looked up in shock: "What happened to your hand? Why are you injured?"
Qiao Panpan lowered his head. He was about to go out to deliver food that night when the guy he was traveling with suddenly looked him up and down and said sarcastically, "A leg injury? You need surgery? You can still work even with this? Amazing!"
Qiao Pan was confused and had no idea what the other party meant by this.
What leg injury, what surgery?
Seeing that he looked confused, the young man handed him the phone. Then he realized what had happened - his mother had lied to everyone and said that his leg was injured.
Qiao Pan was immediately mortified and was about to run back to the clubhouse, wanting to ask his mother why she did that. However, he was riding too fast and saw a bicycle coming towards him in the wrong direction. In order to avoid hitting the other person, he hurriedly turned the handlebars. Although he didn't hit the bicycle, he fell heavily to the ground, with scrapes all over his arms and legs. It was so painful that he took a long time to get up from the ground.
Wu Xiuying loved her youngest son the most, so after giving birth to Qiao Yiyi, she still had a daughter, so she gave the child away.
After much difficulty, the fifth child was born, a son, but he died after just a few days.
The old couple was very sad, but they still persevered. Finally, the sixth child was a son. The old couple took good care of him and raised him.
Normally I feel so sad when I get bumped into something, but today I got such a serious injury.
Wu Xiuying looked at the large scratches on her son's body and said, "Son, does it hurt? Come on, Mom will take you to the hospital."
Qiao Dahong no longer felt sorry for his son. "Why go to the hospital? Do you think the hospital is easy to go to? You'll get a skin peeled off if you go there. It's just a fall. I'll get some mud and plaster outside and apply it on it. It will be healed in a few days."
As he said this, he actually opened the door and went to the flower bed outside the hotel to get some mud and plaster.
Baomei was speechless. What kind of brain circuit is this? Applying mud and plaster when you are injured!
She rolled her eyes in her heart, but thinking of Sister Yiyi's instructions, she stopped Qiao Dahong.
"Don't go. I'm going to the pharmacy to buy some wound-healing stuff. Plaster can easily cause infection in the wound."
Qiao Dacheng was happy to see others spending money. Although his face was dark, he stopped walking.
Baomei went to a nearby pharmacy and bought iodine, disinfectant alcohol, cotton swabs, Band-Aids, etc.
Qiao Pan took the things, lowered her head and whispered to her, "Thank you, thank you, Sister Bao."
Sister Bao?
I am still Lin Daiyu!
Baomei rolled her eyes in her heart again.
But seeing the pitiful look of the boy, I didn't feel angry anymore.
Having dealt with this family several times, she'd truly experienced the old couple's rascality and scoundrelliness. But the young man was still manageable, unlike his parents, who were difficult to deal with. Although he wasn't very talkative and always kept his head down, he was quite polite and often tried to persuade his parents to stop.
It is rare for a bad bamboo to produce good bamboo shoots.
It's just quite sad.
His mother lied to everyone online that he broke his leg, and now he's injured all over after falling off his bike. I don't know if it's retribution in this life.
It's just a pity for the child. His parents are fine, but the child has suffered a lot.
Baomei told Qiao Yiyi about their situation.
Qiao Yiyi nodded on the other end of the phone: "Okay, calm them down first and don't let them go out and cause trouble. I'll go back and talk to them tomorrow."
Baomei went outside with her phone and asked her quietly, "How do you solve it?"
Qiao Yiyi: "You'll know when you come back tomorrow."
She is still in T City and can't go back immediately.
Fortunately, the online public opinion about her parents has calmed down, and netizens are no longer clamoring for her to withdraw from the competition and get out of the entertainment industry. However, the incident with Yan Yue is still circulating.
Qiao Yiyi felt that this matter was as disgusting as eating a fly, but she couldn't do anything about it for the time being. This despicable guy didn't say who it was, and she wanted to clarify it now, but she felt like she was being blamed.
Qiao Yiyi really wanted to swear.
I have been in the book for so long, without any bondage or hype, and I have kept my distance from male artists. I have been innocent for so long, but I didn't expect to be in trouble with this kind of person.
unlucky!
Qiao Yiyi forced herself to calm down. Tomorrow was the last day of the competition. She could go home after the competition and then she would have nothing to do with this kind of person anymore.
But the girls in the room suddenly said excitedly: "Great news! Yan Yue's pussy got ripped off!"
