“Is the stepfather in the story really a bad guy?”
Under the moonlight, Xie Mi smiled slightly, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
"Let me tell you a new story."
"There was a little girl who had lived with her stepfather since she was a child in a small fishing village, leading a not-so-rich life."
"My stepfather looks fierce and is often mistaken by others as someone who is not easy to mess with. But contrary to his appearance, he is a very gentle person and treats girls very well. Even though life was difficult, he never thought of abandoning a girl who was not related to him by blood, and even paid for her to go to school."
"But the girl has an IQ far beyond her peers. She is arrogant and unwilling to be mediocre. She is ambitious and wants to go higher."
"And the first step is to leave this small fishing village where she is trapped."
“So she began a plan that lasted several years.”
"She deliberately washed clothes for her stepfather by the river next to the village, deliberately refused to let her stepfather pick her up and walk three kilometers to school every day, and deliberately exposed the scars on her arms inadvertently. All of those scars were caused by her own actions."
"She spent several years creating a false image, making everyone believe that her stepfather abused her, and then pretended to be sensible and afraid, thus gaining everyone's sympathy."
"Finally, when she was 12 years old, she found the right opportunity and personally designed to send her innocent stepfather to prison."
"She was finally able to leave the fishing village and was sent to an orphanage in the city. Enthusiastic people in the community saw the tragic story in the news and felt sorry for the little girl. They lent a helping hand to her and sponsored her to attend a good junior high school."
"After that, she climbed up step by step, was admitted to the Film Academy, and entered the entertainment industry. Her next goal is to become a top actress in the entertainment industry."
"How about it, is my story much more exciting?"
After Xie Mi finished speaking, he continued to look at Xu Shuangrong quietly, with a slight curve at the corner of his mouth.
Xu Shuangrong listened to her story calmly. Apart from the pitiful look that gradually disappeared, she did not show any panic expression.
She just burst into laughter after a brief silence of two seconds.
"Xie Mi, this is just your guess. The original text never describes this story."
"Yes, the original description is very vague, only a few sentences are mentioned, and the rest needs to be connected by the readers themselves."
"There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people. Others can interpret it one way or the other. It is indeed your right, but it is a bit too much of a stretch."
"After all, no matter who looks at me, I am the victim."
"The Weibo post that the original author posted in real life could have been a sudden thought after he finished writing. It doesn't mean anything."
"I know my experience best. You insist that my stepfather is the victim. Do you have any evidence?"
Her face remained calm and her heart remained steady, and she showed no sign of guilt.
Xie Mi glanced at her and spoke slowly, word by word.
"Isn't the fact that you can stand here safely the best evidence?"
Xu Shuangrong raised the corner of her eyelids slightly and said nothing.
Xie Mi continued.
"If what you said is true, your stepfather is a wicked man who has been abusing little girls for a long time, then he must be unwilling to be bitten back by someone who has been stepping on him for a long time. Even if he is in prison, he must be living in resentment and hatred."
"So after five years in prison, what will he do when he is released?"
"Would he let you go when you were only 17?"
“The original text does not describe your childhood experiences in detail, but the stories of your high school and even college are clear.”
"You have never suffered retaliation from anyone and have lived a peaceful life until now."
Xu Shuangrong's calm expression finally changed slightly, "He is just afraid of being in jail and afraid that I will send him there again, so he dare not retaliate against me."
"Okay, let's not talk about revenge. What about entanglement? Such a wicked man spent five years in prison. After he was released, he was out of touch with society and penniless. Wouldn't he have thought that he still has a 17-year-old stepdaughter who is in high school?"
"Won't he come to you to ask for money? Or make trouble in front of the school gate, embarrass you, and force you to take care of him?"
“Don’t underestimate the bad nature of people.”
"When he has nothing, he can choose to pull you into the water, because he is barefoot and is not afraid of those who wear shoes."
"But he didn't, not once."
"Under what circumstances would a scum who orders his stepdaughter to do his laundry all day, is too lazy to work, and beats and scolds his stepdaughter at every turn, disappear after being sent to prison by his stepdaughter?"
"Unless he was a good guy from the beginning."
"Even if he was framed and imprisoned by his stepdaughter, he couldn't bear to take revenge on her and would rather have nothing to do with her from now on."
Xie Mi finished speaking and shrugged.
"Of course, these are just my guesses. I just want to say that the story you made up is not perfect."
"The reason why the original author did not describe this passage in detail in the original text was to leave room for readers' imagination."
"He wanted to create a heroine who was evil to the core, but was afraid that readers would not be able to accept it, so he left some obscure information, misleading readers into thinking that the heroine's evil was related to her childhood experiences."
"But he revealed his true thoughts on Weibo after the show was finished, trying to hint to people who understand him to discover the mystery."
"After the original author posted this Weibo post, readers went wild and almost split into two camps, frantically discussing what the heroine's true experience was. However, those who believed that [the heroine framed her stepfather] were still a minority."
"Unfortunately, I am one of those people."
"Originally, I was arguing with other readers based on my own opinions, but since I came to this world and met you, I have become more and more determined in my own ideas."
"Xu Shuangrong, you are a pure evil person."
"You said you wanted to climb to the top and trample those who bullied you in the past under your feet, but who bullied you?"
"Liu Woxing treated you as her only friend. Lai Bingxuan chose you to make money from you because she saw that you came from a poor family in high school. The original owner, Xie Mi, had nothing to do with you, but you still chose to get involved and take advantage of her boyfriend."
"After being used by you, did any of these people have a good ending?"
"They have never done anything wrong to you, but who can you be worthy of?"
Xie Mi said it all in one breath, and it felt like the anti-fan had finally gotten in front of the real person.
"If you want to say that those were all plots arranged by the author, and that you in the original text didn't know that they would end up so miserably before you used them, that's not a very good excuse."
"Because after you awakened your system and knew the original content, you still chose to pull the out-of-control chess piece back to its predetermined fate."
"Even if you knew where they were going to end up, you would still choose to do it."
"You can't wash it clean, Xu Shuangrong."
