On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Ling Jiao accepted a live interview program.
The interview took place in the living room of Jinxiu Apartment, with a camera and a host.
The live broadcast of the program started at 8 p.m., during preparation time.
Too many onlookers wanted to see Ling Jiao's response, so countless netizens waited in the live stream room early that night.
As soon as the camera turned on, everyone saw Ling Jiao, who had been missing for several days, sitting pale and thin on the sofa.
The host adjusted the microphone and asked gently.
"Ling Jiao, can we begin?"
“Okay.” Ling Jiao nodded gently.
The host glanced at the teleprompter in his hand and asked with a serious expression.
When did you find out that Ms. Sun was your mother?
“The day before the Lunar New Year, her son came to me and said he was my younger brother, Yang Shasha was my younger sister, and their mother, Ms. Sun, was my biological mother. He wanted me, as the older sister, to give him 50 million yuan,” Ling Jiao said.
The host was incredulous. "Have you met Ms. Sun before this?"
Ling Jiao nodded, "Yes, I have met her. Miss Yang lived in the same apartment as me for a while. Ms. Sun came to see her a few times. At that time, I didn't know she was my mother, and she never revealed a single word about it."
The host hesitated for a moment before asking.
"Didn't you recognize her at all during the few times you met her?"
“No.” Ling Jiao shook her head and smiled bitterly. “My father died in a car accident before I was born. She left after I was born. I grew up with my grandfather and never met her. There are no photos of her in the family. When I grew up and became more sensible, I heard from people around me that she remarried, but I never saw her.”
"Have you ever thought about acknowledging her?" the host asked tentatively.
Ling Jiao pursed her lips and remained silent for a long time before finally nodding.
"When I was little, I really wanted a mother. All the other kids around me had parents, but I didn't. I really wanted a mother."
“When I’m sick and have a fever, I really want my mom. When my grandpa fell ill from the hard work of raising me, I really wanted my mom.”
"Over the past 26 years, I have wished I had a mother countless times, but now that she has appeared, I no longer need her."
...
The host's eyes welled up with tears as he listened, and he took out a tissue to wipe his eyes.
Do you hate her?
"I don't hate her, but I won't let her go either." Ling Jiao's expression was indifferent, as if her heart had already turned to ashes.
She didn't cry, not a single tear, yet it broke the hearts of millions of netizens watching the live stream.
"Damn it, that woman abandoned her for over twenty years and never acknowledged her, so why should Jiaozi acknowledge her now?"
“Ling Jiao’s grandfather passed away four years ago, and she has been living alone ever since. Now a mother and a pair of younger siblings have suddenly appeared. They’re clearly after her money.”
"How cruel that woman must be to abandon her after giving birth to her."
“I was Ling Jiao’s former elementary school classmate. Her mother not only abandoned her, but also ran off with her father’s death compensation money.”
"Who would dare to acknowledge such a heartless and cruel mother?"
...
The live stream had only been going on for less than half an hour when public opinion had already turned against Ling Jiao, with everyone feeling sorry for her.
The fans, in particular, who had been waiting for her response, were heartbroken.
The idol who always appeared sunny and kind to them had suffered so much injustice without their knowledge.
