As Xie Mi finished speaking, the whole place fell into dead silence.
If Director Niu's question just now belongs to the category of close-range and big attack, then Xie Mi's question belongs to the category of close-range and big attack.
【Xie Mi is my mouthpiece! 】
[Yes, yes, what exactly is going on? I’m really curious. If you want to tell me, please tell me clearly.]
[Is this something you can say?]
【Xie Mi is really brave】
Xu Shuangrong's eyes flickered slightly. She was always calm and composed, but when she met Xie Mi's calm and smiling eyes, she felt inexplicably nervous.
She tried to remain calm and said with a smile:
"It was a long time ago. To be honest, I don't remember it very clearly. Besides, Ms. Lai would not want to talk about those things."
"Yeah?"
Xie Mi raised his eyebrows slightly and turned to look at Lai Bingxuan.
Lai Bingxuan was pursing her lower lips and glaring at Xu Shuangrong with resentment.
She was extremely unwilling, but she couldn't deny it.
Xu Shuangrong was right, she didn't dare to mention it.
She will always remember that afternoon in the principal's office when reporters and classmates looked at her with contempt, whispered in front of her, and described her with the most vicious words.
She went crazy, she yelled, she explained over and over again that she didn't do those things, but no one believed her.
Xu Shuangrong just stood there and did nothing to gain everyone's trust.
The way she tried to defend herself looked like a joke.
So from that day on, she took extreme measures.
She would send a lawyer's letter to everyone who talked about this matter, and no matter what the outcome of the lawsuit was, she would make the other party lose a layer of skin.
With the power of her position, the bullying rumors were contained and her life returned to normal.
But the shadow in her heart could not be erased, and she could never forget the disgusted looks in those people's eyes, as if she was an unforgivable sinner.
This became a scar she was reluctant to open.
So when Director Niu asked her that question and asked her to answer whether she had ever bullied others, she couldn't say the word "no" with a clear conscience.
Because no one would believe it even if I told them.
…
At this moment, Xie Mi tried to expose the matter.
Lai Bingxuan didn't understand.
Why did Xie Mi do this? Did Xie Mi also think she was bullying? Did Xie Mi also stand on the side of Xu Shuangrong? Then why did Xie Mi help her before?
Lai Bingxuan's thoughts were in a mess and she could no longer think about the matter rationally.
She just felt that everyone was looking at her with contempt.
They were whispering.
"Why is she like this?" "Lai Bingxuan is the type of person who bullies others." "What's so great about being rich? She herself is a waste." "Oh my god, I feel sick just thinking about breathing the same air with such a person."
She screamed uncontrollably, "Shut up! Shut up! All of you, shut up—"
Xu Shuangrong was frightened by her appearance and took a step back timidly.
Xie Mi calmly pressed the switch on the wheelchair.
Bang bang bang.
Three ping-pong balls hit Lai Bingxuan's forehead accurately.
Lai Bingxuan, whose attention was diverted by the table tennis, asked: "?"
“No one is talking.”
Xie Mi blinked and looked at Lai Bingxuan sincerely, then turned his head and glanced at all the staff present.
Lai Bingxuan was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked in the direction she was looking.
The staff members did not look at her with contempt, nor did they insult her in whispers.
Some of them looked terrified, fearing that things would get out of hand, while others looked happy, waiting to take photos of the famous scene that would go viral.
Some stared at the sky with sad faces, fearing that it would rain and affect the filming.
Some of them had resentful looks on their faces, as if they were out of their minds due to the intense filming work.
Life doesn't have so many audiences, everything is just her illusion.
Lai Bingxuan looked stunned and suddenly met the gaze of a PD.
This PD is her exclusive follow-up PD, a serious sister in her thirties.
At this moment, the PD was looking at her with concern. After meeting her gaze, he immediately lowered his head and wrote something on the cue card and held it up to her.
[Are you okay? If you don’t feel comfortable answering, just find an excuse to skip it. Don’t force yourself.]
Lai Bingxuan: “…”
It didn't seem as bad as she thought.
"There's really nothing to worry about."
Xie Mi's voice rang in her ears, and his calm tone somehow soothed the anxiety in her heart.
"If it's not something you did, no matter how hard others try to distort the truth, there will always be loopholes."
"Keep calm, look for loopholes, and expose the lies of the rumor maker. This is what you should do when you are slandered."
Xie Mi looked at her, his eyes clear and bright.
"The other party took advantage of your weakness of being easily angered, so are you going to just let them take advantage of you?"
Lai Bingxuan's pupils trembled slightly, and she looked at Xie Mi in disbelief.
"How could you ..."
"I guess."
Xie Mi leaned back in his chair and grinned, "I saw rumors online that you bullied others, but no one seems to have produced any evidence. Isn't this just slander?"
"Ah... Could it be that the world has evolved to the point where evidence is no longer needed and one can just make up facts with one's mouth?"
Having said that, Xie Mi looked at Xu Shuangrong deliberately and blinked innocently.
"You said so?"
Xu Shuangrong's expression was already somewhat unnatural. She tried her best to keep smiling, "Teacher Xie is right."
[Looking back, it really is true. Those who say Lai Bingxuan is a bully are just hearsay, but there is no solid evidence.]
[Many people who claim to be Lai Bingxuan’s high school classmates are making revelations. If you really ask them, they can’t really explain it.]
[Ah? Is this really a rumor?]
[If there is no evidence, isn't it just a rumor? Just because you have a mouth, you can just say nonsense? ]
[That’s right! I support Sister Xie this time! ]
Lai Bingxuan frowned even more tightly.
She is a person who doesn't like to think.
Or perhaps it was difficult for her to understand all the twists and turns.
When she was slandered and framed, she would just shout "I didn't" over and over again, and then she would get angry and break down and go crazy.
She just felt that those people were hateful. Why did they pin a false accusation on her? So she kept venting her anger on those people.
But she never thought that it was her appearance that made those people feel that they had hit the nail on the head.
Xie Mi woke her up.
It turns out that Xu Shuangrong has been taking advantage of this fact of hers.
Including just now, Xu Shuangrong also tried to continue to hide this matter by intimidating her.
The one who should be really afraid of exposing this matter should be Xu Shuangrong, not her.
"Xu Shuangrong!"
She suddenly looked at Xu Shuangrong, took a few deep breaths to calm her irritable mood, and said in a cold voice with a stern face.
"Go ahead."
"Tell me exactly what happened between us."
