Volume 1, Chapter 99 Prejudice Kills
Zhu Sheng attacked without mercy. This was the first time that Zhu's mother was stunned by someone.
Even though he had been reprimanded by Zhu Sheng once before, fortunately it happened in Zhu's house and there were still a few people around who could help.
Right now, no one in the program crew is willing to step forward to mediate.
Everyone present felt that this stepmother was indeed not a human being, and they secretly cursed and beat her in their hearts, saying that such disrespectful people deserved to be punished.
Only a few people politely said "don't be impulsive", but no further action was taken.
After being beaten and kicked, Zhu's mother's cheeks were swollen, the corners of her lips were cracked, and the only sound coming out of her mouth was begging for mercy.
"Auntie, it's all my fault. I won't dare to speak nonsense again..."
Director Kong, who now has the best view of the overall situation, is worried that he might be too harsh and it will not end well, so when he sees that he has almost vented his anger, he rushes forward to persuade him to stop.
"Zhu Sheng, she is an elder after all. Even if you are angry, you should be careful when you use force."
"Compared to all the evil things the old witch did, these slaps were still too light for her."
Director Kong helped Zhu's mother up. Frightened by being beaten, she deliberately changed her seat and sat as far away from Zhu Sheng as possible.
The strange thing is that even after being beaten so brutally, Zhu's mother still refused to leave.
It seemed that she had probably been given a strict order that she could not leave without completing this session.
However, fortunately, after Zhu Sheng's repeated interruptions and a beating for Zhu's mother, Gu Chiye seemed a lot calmer than before.
He took a deep breath, his eyes regained their original clarity, rationality took over again, and he spoke again.
"Although these are just some boring doubts, in order to prevent some villains from continuing to make trouble, I will make necessary clarifications here."
He took out his mobile phone, opened a medical app, and showed it to the camera.
“First of all, I want to do some basic science education for the public. Schizophrenia is not hereditary and can be cured. Even if you are not fully recovered, you can still return to normal through medical intervention.
What I am showing you now is my medical history. I first had the disease when I was 5 years old. After several years of treatment, there has been no recurrence. The annual regular physical examination is just a routine matter. Later, I will contact the psychiatrist I have been seeing to testify on my behalf. "
Gu Chiye's attitude in front of the camera was beyond everyone's expectations.
If ordinary people get sick, they will either be timid or feel guilty and inferior.
But Gu Chiye was different. When he talked about his medical history, he did not look embarrassed at all, as if it was just a chronic disease that was slightly less troublesome than a cold or fever.
After openly showing the medical records, Gu Chiye took the opportunity to talk about another matter.
"Next, I want to emphasize that there is no job that a person with a mental illness cannot do.
Many famous people in history have had similar troubles. For example, US President Lincoln and British Prime Minister Churchill also suffered from depression.
During the treatment, I met many sincere and friendly patients. Even though they were sick, they had no choice but to live like normal people. I hope there will be less prejudice in this world so that they can return to their daily lives as soon as possible. "
Perhaps because Gu Chiye's attitude was too frank, some netizens who were originally influenced by public opinion and planned to attack him gradually calmed down.
【Modern people all have some mental problems to some extent. If we deny a person completely because of this, wouldn’t that be a bit of a waste of time?】
[My previous job was too depressing, and I suffered from depression under the long-term PUA of my boss. Fortunately, I could get through it by taking medicine when I was feeling uncomfortable.
I got depressed because of working hard. If I was discriminated against by others and had to lose my job because of depression, I would have no way to survive. 】
[I am an old investor who bought Gu's stock. The stock price shrunk by nearly 1/3 in the past few years. Fortunately, Mr. Gu took over in time and curbed the decline of the stock price. This year, the stock price has been rising for 8 consecutive months. I declare that whoever makes Mr. Gu step down will cut off my financial resources.]
[Don’t you think it’s strange? How could such a secret matter be known to the Zhu family? And why was it said so openly in a live broadcast? I think Mr. Gu must have been tricked by someone, right?]
【Facts speak louder than words. If Mr. Gu really did something evil, why not just provide evidence? Using medical records from ten years ago to accuse someone of being a potential murderer is a bit too unreasonable, isn't it?】
Gu Chiye is indeed a man with a long history in the business world. The commotion caused by Zhu's mother's shouting and yelling was easily resolved by him with just a few words.
Not only that, Zhu's mother had just been traumatized by Zhu Sheng's beating.
After hearing Gu Chiye's statement this time, I didn't dare to say another word and could only hope that those companies outside the field would make more efforts.
She wailed in her heart, her old bones really couldn't be moved at all.
However, Gu Chiye did not intend to let Zhu's mother go just like that.
He stared at Zhu's mother with cold eyes and talked about the topic which was a little sensitive to him.
"Mrs. Zhu, you didn't answer my question directly just now, so I'll ask it again. How did you know that my mother tried to commit suicide with me?"
Zhu's mother, who had already lost her ability to fight, was unexpectedly cueed again.
It was such a tricky problem again, so her first reaction was naturally to play dead and get away with it.
But when he looked up, he was met with Zhu Sheng's threatening eyes, and he was immediately frightened and confessed everything.
"Your family must have told me about your Gu family's affairs. If you have any questions, go to them instead of asking me all the time."
Hearing this expected answer, Gu Chiye snorted disdainfully.
"No wonder. The Gu family hates my mother the most. What they told you must be their long-standing prejudice."
"Bias?"
Zhu's mother asked back in surprise, totally not understanding what Gu Chiye was talking about.
This is what the previous head of the Gu family told Zhu's father, who then relayed it to her. How could it be wrong?
Seeing Zhu's mother who had no idea what was going on, Gu Chiye smiled mockingly.
"My mother was a rebellious person. After getting married, she found out that my father was a complete scumbag and immediately decided to divorce.
My bastard father naturally refused, so he slandered her as having mental problems, hoping to use this to gain my custody and use it to control my mother..."
Halfway through his speech, Gu Chiye looked a little sad, even a little fragile for a moment.
Even when facing Zhu's mother's aggressive questioning and other people's malicious looks, he never showed weakness.
But when he mentioned his mother, it seemed to touch the softest part of his heart, and even the air around him became a little heavy.
"After a fierce quarrel, my mother took me to her parents' home by car, and we had a car accident on the way.
She died on the spot. I was seriously injured and was devastated when I woke up. After I recovered, I suffered from schizophrenia and always pursued my mother's figure in hallucinations.
This is the fact, but in order to cover up the family shame, Gu's family insisted on saying that my mother was mentally ill and that she took me on that trip to commit suicide. No one believed what I said.
I have been investigating the accident for several years and will release the evidence I have collected later in the hope that it will set the record straight.”
After clarifying the truth about his mother's death, Gu Chiye returned to his cold and ruthless appearance.
He stared at Zhu's mother who was stunned and spoke grimly.
"Now that I have grown up, I have the ability to restore the truth of that year, and I also have the capital to seek justice from those who slandered my mother one by one!
Mrs. Zhu, you might as well go back and tell Mr. Zhu that since you have chosen to take the risk, then the Zhu family will be my lifelong enemy. I have plenty of ways to make you learn what respect is!"
