Chapter 87 Chapter 87 Beauty alone will lead to death...
The appearance of Xu Qinghu not only failed to calm the audience, but made them even more agitated, with the overwhelming barrage of comments making people dizzy.
[Since the person in the photo is you, why can't the revelations be true? Are you still trying to make excuses for yourself?]
[Although the photos are old, the movements of you and those men are very obvious and cannot be erased no matter how hard you try.]
[I can tell you're not a contented woman. Your family was poor when you were studying, so it's not impossible that you were kept as a mistress.]
[How much money does your godfather give you every month? I will pay you ten times that. You come and serve me now.]
[+1, you should have told me earlier that you needed money. My family is quite wealthy.]
Those photos were posted online for several hours, attracting many netizens with foul language. Looking at Xu Qinghu's overly superior facial features, they kept making wild comments, as if those photos were taken with their own eyes.
Xu Qinghu's fans were so angry that they started arguing with them.
[Hulu said he has evidence, are you deaf?]
[Are there inhuman creatures swarming into the livestream? No wonder the dog keeps barking!]
[So many people have brainstem defects. That's no problem.]
[I've written down the accounts that just posted. I'll send screenshots to everyone who follows you. I'm sure your girlfriends or wives will be among them. Best of luck to you.]
[Those who spread rumors will die!]
Compared to defending her fans, Xu Qinghu is much calmer. She seems to have become accustomed to such misunderstandings and denigrations.
But when facing the camera, she still smiled and said softly: "Thank you everyone for speaking up for me. Of course, rumors won't make something I didn't do come true. Thank you for believing me."
Fans said it was okay and they knew what kind of person she was.
"I will start responding to everyone now," Xu Qinghu said slowly, "I have nothing to do with those people."
"As for the photos you saw, they were all taken without my knowledge. They were circulated around school for a long time, and more than one of my old classmates remember them."
She was silent for a moment before continuing, "Everyone knows that my family is very poor. The only reason I was able to continue my studies was because I often took part-time jobs during the holidays. I've worked many jobs, selling vegetables grown at home, working as a salesperson in a mall, and as a telephone customer service representative... I tried every job I could find."
"But I was too young at the time. One day, when I was setting up a stall on the street, I met a very nice uncle. He said he didn't have any money and hoped that I would go with him to the nearby building to get some. His eyes were very kind, but I didn't follow him. Do you know why?"
The barrage began to guess the reason, saying that the old man had bad intentions. Fortunately, Xu Qinghu didn't go, otherwise who knows what would have happened.
"Because I've encountered this a lot before," Xu Qinghu said: "Whenever I go out to work part-time, someone will come up to me and say they can pay for my tuition and buy me all the gifts I want, as long as I'm willing to follow them... Even if I refuse, they will pretend not to hear and continue to pester me."
"Those photos were taken under such circumstances." It seemed like a very gloomy memory, and Xu Qinghu had to exert great restraint to calm himself down. "I don't know the mentality of the people who took these photos, but I remember their faces. I'm not afraid to confront them face to face. It's just that they've probably started families and are living happy lives now, and have long forgotten the harassment they once caused me."
"That's it? Didn't you say you had evidence? Words aren't enough!"
There are also people who question Xu Qinghu and do not believe what she says.
[You're almost in your godfather's arms, and you're still saying you're innocent? Don't you think that's ridiculous?]
[Since the photo is real, then it’s a sure thing that you’re being kept, right?]
[I knew it was this kind of boring talk, it's almost rotten, and you still think you're a goddess?]
The comments from the internet trolls and a large number of black fans were like a wave that was getting higher and higher, constantly pouring towards Xu Qinghu.
Xu Qinghu's expression remained unchanged, and he remained calm as water, but his fans were so angry that they started arguing with those people.
The popularity of the live broadcast room quickly climbed until it exceeded 10 million viewers, all watching to see how Xu Qinghu would cover up his lie.
Unexpectedly, Xu Qinghu took out a stack of slightly yellowed papers from his side.
"Don't you want to know what happened between me and that uncle?"
The audience's attention returned to her.
Xu Qinghu slowly spoke, "After I rejected him, he didn't get angry. Instead, he went home and gave me some money. He said that if I came to sell vegetables again in the future, I could find him at a certain place. He was willing to buy all my vegetables as a subsidy for my studies."
"But I didn't take it seriously and continued to set up my stall in crowded places. He often came to my stall and bought all the vegetables every time. He smiled and told me not to be afraid, saying that he was a good person and had no intentions towards me."
"But I don't believe it," Xu Qinghu said, looking into the camera. "I've had a very keen sense of smell since I was a child. I smelled the scent of decay on him, and I was very, very afraid of him."
"However, I didn't know what to do at the time, so I could only continue to endure it. Until one day, he finally lost his patience and said that since I was so thin, he wanted to treat me to a meal. After the meal, he would leave here to develop in a big city. It was just a farewell."
"Of course I rejected him, but he secretly stopped me on my way home and forced me to walk to a more secluded place. As we walked, he said that he just thought I was too beautiful and couldn't bear to let me suffer. As long as I was willing to leave with him, he would let me live a life a hundred times better than here."
"I reacted and kept calling for help, but he explained to passersby that I was his niece and that he took me away because I was too disobedient."
Hearing this, the audience in the live broadcast room became nervous, fearing that Xu Qinghu had really been harmed.
Xu Qinghu laughed at this moment, his eyes shining like broken stars. "Of course he didn't succeed, because I called the police before he could do anything."
Xu Qinghu showed the documents in his hand in front of the camera, which included not only the police report receipt from that year, but also the case registration and case filing decision.
The case acceptance and progress are clearly written in black and white.
Now those internet trolls and haters who were still doubting her were silent. They didn’t expect things to develop like this.
"I'm very grateful to the police who responded promptly. If it weren't for them, I might have been taken to a very scary place."
"Because I only found out later that the middle-aged man wasn't from the town, but was a human trafficker who moved around a lot, specifically targeting young girls and children. Many people had been deceived before me."
Xu Qinghu put the receipt away, his voice still calm and peaceful: "The reason I can still appear in front of everyone is because I know what I want. I don't want to fall into depravity. I want to break away from my original fate. I want to change my life. I don't want to walk that seemingly endless mountain road carrying vegetables for a few dozen yuan. I don't want to start worrying every time I have to pay tuition, wondering if I should go to school. I don't want to worry about being harassed by the opposite sex when I earn money with my own hands..."
She looked at the camera and said slowly and firmly, "Everyone, rest assured. I care about my life and my reputation more than anyone else. I'm not afraid of questioning or any storms. I will continue to do what I have always done, resolutely saving myself from danger. No matter how much slander and abuse I face, I will never give up on myself."
Her tone was calm and composed, but there was a brief pause in the live broadcast room. It was not known whether it was because of what she said or because the development of the situation was completely beyond their expectations.
After a few seconds, the barrage of comments began to explode again. This time it was no longer questioning, but heartache and solidarity.
[Human traffickers, die! In this day and age, how can such people still exist?! I'm so pissed!] [I knew Hulu couldn't be what he said, but luckily I always believed in Hulu.]
After listening to it, I like Hulu even more. There's no crying or harsh words, just a straightforward narrative. The emotions are really stable.
[Besides the traffickers, what about the other men? Did they get their comeuppance? And those who took the photos? They saw you being taken away and yet they pretended to be blind. Can you find them? I'm incredibly strong now!]
Life was already tough, and then there were so many people harassing Xu Qinghu. I can't imagine how he managed to get through that time.
I can understand why Xu Qinghu was so low-key in college. Her beauty alone is doomed to fail. She probably had a psychological scar, afraid she wouldn't graduate.
[After hearing this, I felt suffocated. She had come this far through her own hard work, yet countless people wanted to destroy her. What right did they have?]
[From today on, I'm Xu Qinghu's die-hard fan. It's been a long time since I've liked a girl this much. I just want to say, "Keep it up!"]
While the audience felt sorry for Xu Qinghu, they also pointed the finger at the human traffickers, the old classmates who spread the rumors, the thugs who harassed Xu Qinghu, and the Qiao family.
Due to the high attention of netizens, someone soon revealed the identity of the old classmates and found that they also treated Xu Qinghu badly when they were in school. It was useless for Xu Qinghu to resist because the parents of one of them were school leaders.
This is no different from stirring up a hornet's nest.
Netizens immediately rushed forward and found out all the information of these people.
The old classmate who leaked the information was so scared that he quickly deleted the post, but it was of no avail.
Xu Qinghu's lawyer's letter has been sent to her address, and they and the man who had harassed Xu Qinghu have also been found.
After entering society, these people were arranged with good jobs by their families and continued to live a leisurely life.
It seemed as if the hurt they had caused to Xu Qinghu was just a trivial incident in their lives.
How can you be so nonchalant?
How could they possibly live like nothing had happened? How could they do that? How could they do that?
The excited netizens did not let them go and went straight to their leaders to report them. If they were unsuccessful once, they would continue to report.
They won't let it go until the news of what they did spreads everywhere, their reputation becomes so bad that they are fired from the company. People like these should pay the price ten or a hundred times more like rats in the gutter!
As for those old classmates who spread rumors about Xu Qinghu, they were also expelled from the company, but because the circumstances were too serious, they will also face imprisonment.
What’s even more frustrating is that her parents, who were school leaders, were expelled from the school just before retirement because of their inaction.
The hierarchy among Brahmins in small places is even stricter, and once they fall, their situation will inevitably plummet.
At this time, Xu Qinghu was still sitting in front of the camera, chatting with everyone with a smile.
"Although I was scared at first, I gradually got over it," she explained, looking at the questions on the commentary screen. "I wore hand-me-down clothes in college because I really didn't have any money at the time. Plus, I was narrow-minded and thought the outside world was too scary. In fact, everyone is a very good person."
[If you are doing the right thing, you should protect yourself and understand the gourd.]
[So many things have happened, where are Hulu's parents? Have they never shown up?]
[Yeah, did Hulu's parents pass away?]
If she were my daughter, I would definitely protect her well.
[Of all the romance shows, Xu Qinghu is the female guest I feel the most sorry for. What on earth are her parents doing? Even if they work away from home, they can't possibly let her work so hard to pay for her tuition, right?]
Finally asked.
Seeing those comments, Xu Qinghu's lips were still curled. Didn't she go through so much trouble just to pave the way for this matter?
"Thank you all for your concern," Xu Qinghu lowered his eyelashes in front of the camera for the first time, as if to hide the strangeness in his eyes.
The audience noticed something was wrong and hurriedly said that if the question was difficult to answer, she could choose not to answer it, as they did not want to embarrass her.
"There's nothing to be ashamed of." After a few seconds, Xu Qinghu raised her head again. Her expression remained calm, though the corners of her eyes were slightly red. "Since today is to clarify the rumors, I also want to answer everyone's questions. My parents..."
She took a deep breath and continued, "My parents didn't die, they just separated when I was very young."
Although she tried her best to control herself, her trembling eyelashes still announced her inner restlessness. "I haven't seen them since I was three years old. Grandma said they have each started their own families and will come back to see me when they have time."
"But we haven't met or heard from them in all these years. It wasn't until I became an adult that I called them a few times and learned that they already had other children and were living a happy life. I was really happy for them."
Xu Qinghu spoke in a straightforward manner, without any hint of blame, as if he was telling someone else's story.
Little did they know that this was even more frightening than crying uncontrollably.
How on earth did she say these things?
It's like I'm really happy for my family.
How could she be so calm after suffering such a great injustice?
"Children have their own lives, and so do their parents," she said with a smile. "I can't let them continue to live unhappy lives because of me."
"Even without their company, I grew up safely and healthily. I am grateful to them for giving me life. I hope that everyone will not have a bad impression of them because of this."
[So, after their divorce, they never cared about Xu Qinghu again, nor did they give her any living expenses?]
[We only contacted each other after we became adults. I guess he knew Xu Qinghu had been admitted to university and wanted to take advantage of his success.]
[No wonder they never mention their parents. Is this still human? They only care about giving birth but not raising them, right?]
[Not everyone in this world can be a parent! Can people like this be deprived of their right to be parents?]
What did Xu Qinghu do wrong? Being born into a family like this is the beginning of a catastrophe!
[Luckily, Hulu didn't give up on me, otherwise I don't know what kind of life I'd be living now.]
[How despicable! Parents like this deserve retribution!]
