364: Use magic to defeat magic!
Wen Zhicheng wanted to morally blackmail Xu Yao, but Xu Yao just wouldn't follow his lead.
Wen Zhicheng thought Xu Yao would be too scared to show up, and he was waiting to catch Xu Yao's weakness. How could Xu Yao let him do that?
If Wen Zhicheng wanted to act, Xu Yao would act with him.
Xu Yao has been acting in earthy skits for so long, and her acting skills, although not to say she has surpassed those of professional actors, at least she has left behind most internet celebrities. When she rushed downstairs, her eyes were red, her makeup was not delicate enough, and her clothes were not decent enough. Anyone could see at a glance that Xu Yao was anxious.
The only thing that can defeat magic is magic.
In front of a bunch of cameras, Xu Yao began to recall every little detail of her time with Wen Yiyi in an emotional tone.
The two have known each other since childhood, and have also been at odds since childhood.
Therefore, the conflict between her and Wen Yiyi was not really due to the remarriage of their parents. Wen Yiyi had always disliked her before. When had she ever seriously argued with Wen Yiyi?
"Uncle Wen, when you and my mother remarried, I hadn't made much money yet, so I could only give you a portrait I painted myself as a wedding gift."
"Since I'm older than Yiyi, why would I bother with her?"
"Even though she's competitive and a big teller, these little flaws aren't a reason for her to be kidnapped!"
"I know a lot of people are watching the live broadcast. I hope my fans and all internet users will take action, especially those in South City. Please pay more attention to any unusual things around you while ensuring your own safety. If you find any useful clues, you can leave a private message on my account or call the police directly. I will pay a reward to anyone who enthusiastically helps find Yi Yi. If the clues you provide are confirmed to be real and useful, I will pay a one-time payment of 1 million!"
Wen Zhicheng was no match for Xu Yao's eloquence, which she had honed through live broadcasts. He tried to interrupt her several times but failed, as Xu Yao had the upper hand over the rhythm.
There were several self-media accounts broadcasting live at the scene, and the comment sections of these live broadcast rooms were full of heated discussions.
Xu Yao is really sincere!
Wen Yiyi was the first to wrong her, and now Wen Yiyi was kidnapped by black fans, and Xu Yao had to spend her own money to save her!
Brother Xiaogang had been looking for an opportunity to ease the relationship with Xu Yao. Seeing that Xu Yao had changed the situation, Brother Xiaogang immediately added icing on the cake and praised Xu Yao for her righteousness on his own account.
"Your words of care might be hollow. When you were kidnapped, your loving father was only concerned with moral blackmail, while your stepsister, who you've always targeted, was willing to spend real money to save you. I hope Miss Wen can truly let go of her grudge against your stepsister after she's been rescued! And don't even think about saying Xu Yao was responsible for Miss Wen's kidnapping. Fang Weihao is a psychopath and a sociopath. Any internet celebrity he falls for is doomed. What does his crime have to do with Xu Yao? It wasn't Xu Yao who ordered him to do it!"
Brother Xiaogang knows how to grab the attention. He supported Xu Yao faster than Tangtang, and indeed won the favor of many netizens.
Netizens all praised Xiaogang for his generosity, while Xiaogang pretended to be embarrassed:
"The person who did something wrong was originally from my studio, and I would like to apologize to Ms. Xu Yao again."
Even Xiao Gang, who has conflicts with her, is supporting Xu Yao. Xu Yao's fans are even more combative. If any keyboard warrior tries to encourage Xu Yao to be a saint and trade one for one with Wen Yiyi, the fans will rush up and fight to the death.
The Internet is bustling with activity, but in reality, Xu Yao supported Wen Zhicheng's arm and whispered in his ear:
"Uncle Wen, if we start fighting, no one will come to save Yiyi. Or would you rather sacrifice Yiyi than kill me? Uncle Wen, do you really want to save Yiyi?"
Wen Zhicheng's expression changed.
Taking advantage of the moment when Wen Zhicheng was in a trance, Xu Yao lifted Wen Zhicheng up from the ground with an effort.
"Please make way for Uncle Wen. He lost his composure because he was desperate. Please focus your report on Yiyi's kidnapping. I hope that with our combined efforts, we can rescue Yiyi soon."
Xu Yao's eyes were always red, and everyone could see that she was very concerned about Wen Yiyi's safety.
Wen Zhicheng lost his composure because he was desperate and tried all kinds of treatment. Wasn't Xu Yao also in trouble?
When she helped Wen Zhicheng up the stairs, the live broadcaster couldn't help but say a few good words for her:
"She's handled it very well! Everyone thinks that older sisters should be tolerant and sensible to their younger sisters, but in fact, she is only a little older than Wen Yiyi, right?"
Xu Yao didn't hear the self-media anchor's defense, she half-pulled and half-dragged Wen Zhicheng upstairs.
With no camera watching, Xu Yao shook off Wen Zhicheng's arm.
Wen Zhicheng sneered: "You don't want to pretend anymore?"
Xu Yao retorted sarcastically, "Uncle Wen, we're just the same. You think I'm pretending, but I also want to praise your acting skills. I really wished you and my mother happiness from the bottom of my heart. If I had known you were such a person, I would have said anything to stop you from remarrying!"
Wen Zhicheng didn't have the patience to rehash the past with Xu Yao. "You are responsible for dealing with the madman you provoked. You must save Yiyi, otherwise—"
"Otherwise what?"
Gu Jun stood at the doorway without anyone noticing. "Otherwise, are you going to keep targeting Yaoyao and tear her down from her position as a top internet celebrity? Or, are you going to give interviews everywhere saying that I'm suppressing you, and ruin my reputation along the way?"
Wen Zhicheng was speechless. Obviously, he had really thought about it... No, he was already doing so, but he was interrupted by Xu Yao just as he was about to cast the spell.
"Then you really overestimate yourself and underestimate Yaoyao. You don't think she can only be an internet celebrity, do you?"
Gu Jun knew what Wen Zhicheng cared about, so he deliberately poked at Wen Zhicheng's sore spot because Gu Jun was really angry.
The bastard Wen Zhicheng was afraid that Lin Meixian would stop him from causing trouble, so he actually drugged Lin Meixian!
That's why Lin Meixian failed to inform Xu Yao in time, nor did she show up to interrupt Wen Zhicheng's "casting".
Gu Jun said that Lin Meixian was fine and was currently in the hospital with her secretary to have her blood drawn for further examination. Xu Yao was furious and slapped Wen Zhicheng twice:
"I'm not sure I can save Wen Yiyi, but I'm sure I can piss off Fang Weihao. Do you want to give it a try? Don't think I'll care about my internet celebrity image. Anyway, my father's debts are almost paid off, so it's not a loss for me to switch from the front stage to the backstage!"
Xu Yao has nothing to worry about, so how can Wen Zhicheng still use moral kidnapping?
Wen Zhicheng was jumping up and down just now, but now he can only swallow his anger, fearing that Xu Yao will really do whatever it takes to provoke Fang Weihao.
Xu Yao was too lazy to talk nonsense with Wen Zhicheng. She asked someone to keep an eye on Wen Zhicheng and followed Gu Jun to the hospital to see Lin Meixian.
On the way, Gu Jun's phone rang twice, but he didn't answer it.
Seeing Xu Yao's puzzled look, Gu Jun explained, "It's Zheng Weier. She prepared a PR draft and needs my cooperation. I don't think now is a good time."
Xu Yao never interfered in Gu Jun's official affairs, and did not ask any further questions after hearing this.
When she arrived at the hospital, Lin Meixian was still a little dizzy and nothing else was wrong. She had also seen the news online and knew what Wen Zhicheng had done. Seeing Xu Yao, Lin Meixian felt extremely guilty.
"It was mom who harmed you. If it weren't for me——"
"Mom, stop talking. It has nothing to do with you."
Xu Yao hugged Lin Meixian.
There is no overnight hatred between mother and daughter, so how could Xu Yao really blame Lin Meixian?
Lin Meixian didn’t know that Wen Zhicheng was this kind of person!
"No, I know."
Lin Meixian glanced at Gu Jun. Seeing that Gu Jun had no intention of leaving the ward, Lin Meixian did not avoid him: "I already knew what kind of person Wen Zhicheng was. I married him just to help your father get revenge!"
From the moment Wen Zhicheng drugged Lin Meixian, the two of them officially fell out.
Lin Meixian didn't want to make Xu Yao worry, and wanted to take revenge silently by herself, but Wen Zhicheng had already made up his mind to fight to the death. Lin Meixian was afraid that Wen Zhicheng would hurt Xu Yao, so she had to confess to her daughter now.
It was Wen Zhicheng who introduced the risky project that trapped funds to Xu Qinghua.
It was Wen Zhicheng who lured Xu Qinghua into becoming addicted to gambling.
Wen Zhicheng thought Lin Meixian knew nothing, but Lin Meixian was so smart that she had guessed the truth from Xu Qinghua's last phone call before he went to the high seas.
There is nothing we can do even if we know the truth. Wen Zhicheng cleverly avoided the legal line.
Lin Meixian could only pretend that she knew nothing. When Wen Zhicheng changed from taking care of her to pursuing her, Lin Meixian knew that her chance to avenge her husband had come.
"How can I divorce Wen Zhicheng before I avenge your father?"
Tears welled up in Lin Meixian's eyes. "He destroyed our family. I can't let him go!"
Once the emotions that had been suppressed for several years were released, it was difficult to control them. Lin Meixian cried, and Xu Yao also cried.
"Mom, why didn't you tell me earlier? You admitted so much by yourself..."
Lin Meixian just touched Xu Yao's head.
What's the point of telling Xu Yao? It will only make her live in hatred with her. Lin Meixian couldn't predict that Xu Yao's self-media career would take off last year. She could only pretend that nothing had happened. She just wanted Xu Yao to marry Shen Yan smoothly. That way, even if her revenge failed, Xu Yao would be protected by Shen Yan and would not be retaliated by Wen Zhicheng.
But Xu Yao actually took the initiative to break off the engagement with Shen Yan.
Lin Meixian now thinks that it might be God's will. She only found out about the Xu family's bankruptcy after she remarried Wen Zhicheng, and Shen Shuping was involved!
Xu Yao and Shen Yan have been in love for a long time.
Even if ordinary people don't help the Xu family when they are in trouble, they shouldn't kick them when they are down like Shen Shuping did!
Shen Shuping is not a good person, so Shen Yan is naturally not a good match for Xu Yao.
"I am satisfied with you marrying Gu Jun, but I have to pretend to be angry to confuse Wen Zhicheng and Shen Shuping."
Lin Meixian slowly explained these things to Xu Yao.
Gu Jun stood aside without saying anything, but Lin Meixian suddenly turned to look at him: "Gu Jun, do you know something too?"
Lin Meixian's eyes were sincere, and Gu Jun nodded slightly.
"I just found out."
Gu Jun had his suspicions ever since he learned that Wen Zhicheng and Shen Shuping wanted to buy the land left by Xu Qinghua.
Is it really confirmed that Wen Zhicheng and Shen Shuping harmed Xu Qinghua, or is it the investigation of Xu Qinghua's identity this time...Xu Qinghua and Lin Meixian have been husband and wife for many years, and both want to use the same method to retaliate against Wen Zhicheng.
Xu Qinghua said that the phone call he made before he disappeared on the high seas was intended to remind Lin Meixian to stay away from danger.
Unexpectedly, after suffering a great blow, Lin Meixian decided to help Xu Qinghua "revenge" and actually chose to marry Wen Zhicheng!
Gu Jun doesn't care whether Wen Zhicheng will be deceived, he cares whether Lin Meixian will be implicated.
"No wonder you suddenly became aggressive towards Wen Zhicheng and Shen Shuping."
Lin Meixian murmured: "This matter has nothing to do with you, you and Yaoyao have already divorced..."
Gu Jun bent down and squatted beside Lin Meixian's bed: "Even if Yaoyao and I are divorced, you are still my elder."
Gu Jun not only has admiration for Lin Meixian, but after knowing that Fu Hong and Xu Qinghua have been having an affair for many years, that admiration is also mixed with a bit of guilt - kind people are always the ones who get hurt!
Lin Meixian turned to look at Xu Yao again, "Do you still mind that Gu Jun lied?"
