"Everything you said is completely false. I will have my lawyers write you off one by one and send a lawyer's letter to your company!"
As I spoke, my gaze passed over the crowd and fell on Lawyer Zhang who was rushing to the gate.
Coming to a press conference controlled by the Yao family, I knew that I couldn't win alone and I needed help.
So I used Lawyer Zhang's cell phone number that I remembered from my previous life, and offered him a high salary to bring a group of real licensed reporters to the press conference.
When Lawyer Zhang saw my face, he was stunned for a moment, but quickly recovered. He pulled out his ID and sternly rebuked the reporters who had just been aggressive with me, saying, "Which station are you from? Reporters are supposed to report the facts, not throw mud at people right away. I now reserve the right to hold you accountable for fabricating rumors and causing physical and mental harm to my client. Please be careful with your words and actions!"
For a moment, all the reporters who had been bribed fell silent.
Yao's father and mother in the audience started to get anxious when they saw that I was disobedient.
Yao's father glared at me fiercely, and even pulled up the original video of Yao Zitong's best friend. He pressed the send button and warned me with his eyes that if I didn't apologize and acted recklessly, he would post the video on the public platform.
I glanced at the flustered pair and ignored their warnings. I stared coldly at the camera and continued, "Today, I, Yao Zitong, want to clarify a few things. First, I am not the heroine of the obscene video that leaked from the banquet. It was artificially edited in later."
"Secondly, I did not falsely accuse Yao Qingqing, the younger sister of the internet celebrity "Qiannu." She was indeed the first person to spread the rumor about the video. Before I came here, I received a notice from the police. They have already released an announcement on the ** channel. You can go check it out!"
At this point, the reporters who had been bribed by money also answered the phone and their faces changed drastically. Apparently, they also received calls from their own companies and learned about the announcement just released by the police.
I looked coldly at Mr. and Mrs. Yao, whose faces had already changed drastically.
Yao's father held the phone with his eyes bloodshot. He glared at me like a broken jar and started talking on the phone. His angry voice could be heard in my ears through the noisy crowd.
He ordered the other party to dig up the grave of Yao Zitong's deceased best friend, and even said with gritted teeth that he would scatter her ashes.
Yao's mother snatched the phone that Yao's father had just put down and pretended to post the obscene video online.
But before she could press send, a bodyguard rushed over and knocked her phone to the ground, and stopped the two of them from rushing over to stop me from speaking next.
Only then did they realize that they had been deceived by me. I was not there to apologize, but to ruin the place.
It seemed as if they had not expected that their daughter, who had been so obedient in the past, would rebel against them like this. They looked at me with shock and confusion, as if they were meeting me for the first time.
Father Yao was completely shameless. Even with the bodyguards holding him back, he yelled at me, "Yao Zitong, I didn't expect you to care about your best friend's ashes. You're truly heartless!"
I smiled coldly at them. They, the ones who scattered the ashes, were now blaming me, the one who was threatened?
But what they probably didn't know was that when they called to have the grave dug, the police were already waiting at the other end of the cemetery and had answered the call from Yao's father.
They have easily obtained the evidence that Yao's father ordered the destruction of other people's graves. Soon they will be invited to the police station for tea. I hope they won't be too surprised.
I lowered my gaze to the sea of reporters before me and continued in a deep voice, "Also, six years ago, someone falsely accused me of pushing a wealthy woman into a river, leaving her in a vegetative state, and I was sentenced to three years in prison. I will be appealing this case. It was a complete frame-up, and I want the real murderer brought to justice!"
After I finished speaking, the reporters in the audience were shocked. They didn't expect that I would bring up the past again.
After all, they had done their homework before they came and found out the reason why Yao Zitong was imprisoned.
Regardless of whether what happened at yesterday's banquet was true or not, they were already planning to make a big fuss about it again in their subsequent reports. Now, not only have I directly denied it, but they are also going to overturn the verdict and file a lawsuit.
I listened to the discussions in the audience and watched the Yao family's parents not far away continue to release the second wave of bombs.
"I believe that the police will soon be able to help me clear my name and send my family members who falsely accused me of giving false testimony to prison!"
For a moment, all the reporters' cameras were aimed at Yao's parents who were glaring at me the entire time.
My words were very clear. It was their testimony and that of Yao Yifeng that sent me to prison.
Yao Zitong, mindful of their kindness in raising her, thought it was understandable that they protected their own daughter.
But I will never reflect on myself or make others happy.
They must be made to pay the price for their unethical maintenance.
Last time, the two of them bribed the reporters, preventing them and Yao Qingqing's ugly faces from being exposed to the public.
Today, facing these real front-line reporters, the Yao family, who loved each other very much, will face a historic demise.
Yao's father, his face livid, slammed the microphones fired at him by the reporters. Yao's mother looked up at me and screamed, "Yao Zitong, your last name is Yao too. What good will it do you to destroy the company? I'm going to kick you off the household registration!"
I walked off the stage in my high heels, facing the resentful gazes of the two men.
The reporters carrying their cameras automatically made way for me. I slowly walked up to the two of them and said word by word, "From now on, my surname will be Qiao, and my given name will be Chuyue!"
"Not only that, I'm going to change the Yao Group to Qiao Group. It has nothing to do with the Yao family!"
Originally, if Yao Zitong was in the Qiao family, she would be named Qiao Chuyue after her grandmother's surname.
Since Qiao Zhixian no longer needs her grandmother's name when she changes her name, and the Yao family doesn't want a daughter like Yao Zitong, then I will change my surname back to Qiao, not the surname of the Qiao father and mother in the previous life, but the surname of the little old lady who loves her granddaughter!
They don't want us, and my sister and I don't want them either.
When Father Yao heard I was going to change the company's name to Qiao, he couldn't help but sneer, "Just because you're an adopted daughter, you think you can take over my company? Don't dream! Let me tell you, don't think you can harm the Yao family's businesses with this trick. Our company relies on products to win and become big and strong."
"Even if our stock plummeted and we went bankrupt, we wouldn't let the company be named Qiao. Instead, it's you who disregarded moral principles and turned the knife on the parents who raised you that are the target of netizens' scorn!"
"Yeah?"
I looked down coldly at this adoptive father who was now half a head shorter than me, and couldn't help but curl my lips and sneer, "Why don't you take out your phone and see if those products that your company relied on to grow and become strong are still there?"
"What?"
Yao's father and mother looked at each other with changed expressions, and they took out their mobile phones to check the latest news.
