However, the authorities hadn't yet found more evidence, so even if the Hua family was in chaos, it wouldn't be of much use to them. On the other hand, Li Xi wasn't sure if making a big deal out of this would be too cruel to the star-crossed couple.
After much deliberation, Li Xi concluded: "I'm overthinking it." None of this matters now. What matters is working with Zhuang Tianxin to expose the issue of Hua Er Shao's domestic violence!
Thinking of this, Li Xi threw aside the information given by Mian Lao Si, asked him to check the illegitimate children of the Hua family, and then went to discuss possible cooperation with Zhuang Tianxin.
The recent revelations about the "legendary story of the Zhou family's wife" are still resonating, and Li Xi has no plans to release new material just yet. Netizens say that while they enjoy reading gossip, they shouldn't be bombarded with it too frequently; they need to give themselves time to breathe, otherwise they'll get bored.
The same principle applies to hunger marketing, a common practice used by businesses. You know, netizens/consumers like and want something, but you can't satisfy them all at once. You have to keep them waiting, deepening their desire for it. That way, when they get it, their satisfaction is greatly increased, and their anticipation for the next item also rises.
Therefore, Li Xi decided to wait. This would give Zhuang Tianxin some time to adjust. Once the video was released, it was bound to spark discussion online, with plenty of sympathy, ridicule, reasoning, encouragement, and even excuses for the domestic violence man. Li Xi and Su Yu could take over Zhuang Tianxin's account and help manage it for her, but she couldn't ignore the discussions; she would have to bear the brunt of the consequences.
Moreover, exposing this matter was only Li Xi and Zhuang Tianxin's idea; the Zhuang family didn't even know about it! Before exposing it, Zhuang Tianxin had to find an opportunity to tell her family and convince them that she could handle it. There were also the issues of compensation to the Hua family and the divorce between Zhuang Tianxin and Hua Ershao that needed to be considered; there was no rush.
Sugar Jar [My parents have been discussing my divorce with Hua Er. They haven't let me know, so I don't know the details.]
[Did they ask you to sign a divorce agreement? If so, then it's settled. If one of their conditions is not to publicize this, that would be very disadvantageous to us.]
Tang Zhan'er: "No, they didn't ask me to sign that. I haven't been away from Hua Er for long, and my family has been busy taking care of me, so they probably haven't had time to argue with the Hua family. I guess the divorce hasn't been finalized yet."
"Then I suggest you talk to your family first. You absolutely need a divorce, and you should demand compensation. But you can't trade any conditions for their "hush money." While getting the money is more practical than socially devastating, you need to be clear about what you want."
What's most important is what you want, not what others think. This includes me. You can consider my suggestion, but don't assume you have to do it just because I brought it up. The key is what you want. As I've said before, I'm just an observer. I have empathy, but I can't feel it. You should follow your heart.
Sugar Jar [I know. But I really want to expose him. Not just for revenge, but for the millions of women trapped in domestic violence. I'm not that great, wanting to be Superman and save them, I just empathize with them.]
In this society, women are inherently vulnerable. If women themselves don't stand up for women, who else will stand up and help us? Xixi, I'm also a highly educated person. I've seen a lot of social situations and understand a lot of principles. Even if I get a little love-struck, I'll wake up. Once I put on my sunglasses, I'm not in love with anyone. (￢︿??￢☆)]
Red Pink Dandy [Sister is handsome, sister is mighty, sister takes me on the flower path*★,°*:.☆(￣▽￣)/$:*.°★*. ]
Sugar jar【less poor.】
I'll talk to my mom later. I won't talk about the exposure, just the divorce. We're not short of money, so we don't need any compensation from the Hua family.
What Li Xi asked Mian Lao Si to investigate was the gossip she had seen in the original novel, that the illegitimate children of the Hua family did not know each other, and got married and had children under the condition of free love.
Li Xi wasn't sure who the person was, or how far along they were. Had they given birth to a child with a genetic disease, as described in the original novel? Had they sought help from the Hua family? Had they been exposed?
After all, this was a scandal within a scandal. If the Hua family knew about it, they would do their utmost to keep it secret. Even though Li Xi had been hanging around at various wealthy banquets recently, it was hard to hear any rumors. Rather than bother investigating it yourself, it would be better to leave it to the professionals.
However, Li Xi couldn't directly tell Mian Lao Si that the Hua family had two illegitimate children together, so he asked him to dig up evidence. After all, this matter was too secretive, and Li Xi didn't know how far the matter had developed. Maybe the parties involved didn't even know it yet! So it was not easy to use "I have special access" to fool people. Li Xi could only ask Mian Lao Si to investigate the Hua family's privacy, focusing on the robbers to find out more about the possible illegitimate children in their family.
Men are often romantic, and wealthy men are more likely to lose control of their genitals. Having illegitimate children is common in wealthy families, but when there are so many illegitimate children that they don't even know each other and still fall in love and marry, it's a bit outrageous. It's not just gossip, but also a scandal.
Li Xi wasn't investigating this to expose the Hua family's misfortune or threaten them with anything. After all, the previous generation was responsible, while the young people and the innocent child were harmed. If this were exposed, the couple and the child would suffer a triple blow. The first harm would be the child's genetic disease, and the second harm would be their kinship (the original novel states that the couple were both illegitimate children of the Hua family, not that they had the same father but different mothers; they could actually be cousins).
