For a while, Zhao Jing was caught in the center of a public opinion storm. In addition, the movie she had filmed before also had casting controversy, and her Weibo was almost attacked by everyone and became the target of public criticism.
The reputation that I had painstakingly built up over five years was destroyed in an instant.
"Do you have to push me to this point? Are you happy seeing me like this now?" The woman on the other end of the phone had a hoarse and desperate voice, and it was obvious that she had just cried.
Lu Jingxu sat on the sofa in the office, his fingers unconsciously twisting the paper on the table.
"You were the first to do it, Zhao Jing. You've been making too many small moves."
"In that case, we have nothing to talk about. Don't you feel sorry for her? I don't mind making her even more pitiful."
Zhao Jing suddenly laughed on the other end of the phone, but her voice sounded like it was soaked in cold water, which was chilling.
Lu Jingxu frowned and said solemnly:
"I'm warning you, that incident is long over. If you dare to unilaterally break the agreement—"
"Beep, beep." The phone was suddenly hung up, and Lu Jingxu's heart beat faster with the rapid hang-up sound.
──
Su Yinyin felt that Lu Jingxu had been acting strangely recently. It was okay when he went to work, but he also stayed in the study all day long, always looking sad. She took the initiative to ask him about it, but he refused to tell her.
Every time he comforted her by saying it was okay, Su Yinyin felt something was wrong. Although Lu Jingxu usually did the same thing, it was rare for him to be so perfunctory and unwilling as he was now.
The doubts in my heart grew bigger and bigger.
When Lu Jingxu walked out of the study that day, the second button of his shirt was undone, and his suit was draped over his hands.
"I'm not home for dinner, so don't wait for me."
"Oh." Su Yinyin glanced at him with some concern, then thought for a moment and asked, "Where are we going?"
"I have something to do outside." After saying that, he opened the door and walked out.
Su Yinyin took some potato chips and sat in the living room. After eating two pieces, she thought of something and ran to look through the peephole. After confirming that Lu Jingxu had gotten off the elevator, she sneaked into his study.
Recently he has been secretly watching something in the room. Su Yinyin was curious, but as soon as she got close to him, he closed the page and didn't let her see it at all.
Lu Jingxu looked like a mysophobic and frigid person, but he actually knew everything. Su Yinyin suspected that he was not self-taught and must have learned it secretly.
She must find out the truth this time.
She walked into the study and locked the door guiltily, turned on the computer, entered her birthday, and opened the computer smoothly. Sure enough, the password was this.
Su Yinyin felt a little secretly happy in her heart.
Lu Jingxu's computer desktop was very tidy, with each file categorized and placed in the corresponding folder. Su Yinyin followed the cursor around each icon, her brows furrowed deeper and deeper. After looking around, she found that there was not a single suspicious place.
She couldn't help but think.
Suddenly, an idea struck her. It seemed that she could directly view the video browsing history in the player, so she found the icon and clicked it.
When I opened the player, there was indeed a video playback record. At first glance, it was indeed very similar to the scene I had secretly peeked at last time.
Although it was just a blurry glimpse, Su Yinyin still remembered what the paused picture looked like.
After clicking it, Su Yinyin was stunned for two seconds, and the sharp voice of the girl in the video came out.
"Please move away. We are recording a video. Let her show her face."
The location in the video is dimly lit, and it is obviously in a school toilet. The light in the toilet is not well connected and flickers. The picture quality is very blurry, and it is obviously old.
The curiosity that Su Yinyin had just ignited was instantly extinguished. Her face became serious and she continued to read.
The girl holding the cell phone and five or six other girls surrounded a girl in the middle who was crying with her head down. Continuous laughter came from the video until the girls heard what was happening and moved aside a little.
Su Yinyin then saw that the girl in the middle was not wearing any clothes, only a piece of underwear, and her clothes were probably taken off by several girls who bullied her and placed on someone's hand.
The girl covered her naked body with her hands and squatted down with her head down facing the approaching camera.
"Do you want to take that one off too?"
"I've taken the video... Hey, can I send this video to Zhang Ruijie later?"
One girl seemed a little angry when she heard this: "Why show it to Zhang Ruijie? It's not like you don't know that he likes her."
"You won't like it after seeing it. Don't you like Zhang Ruijie? Now you have a chance."
"Go away, who likes him?"
There seemed to be some dispute among them.
"Then why did you say you wanted to block her after class?"
"There's a senior girl from another school. She gave me a hundred dollars yesterday to block her... Oh well, I'll share it with you guys later."
As they were talking, several people surrounded the girl in the middle and stripped off her underwear. Although the girl tried her best to protect her privacy, she could not escape the shame and fear of being watched by the camera.
Seeing the expression on her face, the girl holding up the phone giggled: "Damn, look at her expression, it's so funny."
As she spoke, she grabbed the girl's head, and the girl's clear face, which was originally hidden under the scattered hair, was revealed.
Su Yinyin's pupils suddenly shrank and became dilated, and some parts of her brain formed clusters of snowflake-like failures. She felt a desolate numbness sweeping over her whole body.
Then came tinnitus, blurred vision, and a chaotic consciousness, transporting me back to the afternoon of a certain year.
At that time, she was still in high school. Because of her appearance, she attracted the attention of many boys of the same age. However, due to her poor family background, she had no time to pay attention to these things. She spent her whole day going back and forth between her rental house, school, and work. She didn't like to communicate with others and had no friends.
This high school is not very good, but Su Yinyin was forced to go there because the school promised her father to waive her tuition. She could have gone to a better school.
Every day, during the break, the classroom would be filled with a strong smell of powder and sweat. Su Yinyin hated this smell and would subconsciously stay away from those people.
One day after class, she went to and from school as usual. When she was walking out of the school, a shadow suddenly fell on the road in front of the door, and several girls blocked her way with their arms crossed.
Then came the next scene, where she was bullied for 20 minutes in the bathroom.
The video later went viral among students for a week.
Maybe it was a blessing in disguise, but she was able to transfer to another key high school in the city.
…
It is said that after a person experiences a major change or something he cannot bear, his brain will activate its self-defense mechanism and make the memory disappear from his memory.
It was not until many years later, because of this video, that the dusty facts were blown away by the wind of time again, and the nightmarish ugliness was recalled again.
The abuser's complacency was like a bloody blade, stabbing again at the healed scar that seemed to have been covered by clothes.
The phone in the living room rang, and Su Yinyin walked into the living room in a daze like a zombie and answered the phone.
Liu Yue's voice seemed to be transmitted through a barrier, intermittently into Su Yinyin's ears.
