Li Jie desperately wanted Tang Yaoyao to lie, but his daughter was his daughter, and they were of one mind; how could he not know what she was thinking?
He thought Xiao Ran was in love, which is why he'd been sitting there laughing for no apparent reason these past few days.
He was relieved that she no longer liked Ye Junlin. Little did he know that what he was relieved about would now feel like a knife stabbing into his heart, causing him unbearable pain.
Tang Yaoyao curled her lips slightly, her smile tinged with lazy amusement, but the coldness in her eyes remained undiminished: "You're right, I am indeed trying to sow discord, provided that you give me the opportunity."
Saying that at this moment feels incredibly irritating, but it also makes people very angry.
"Tang Yaoyao!"
Tang Yaoyao's red lips curled slightly: "What? Should I release the video now?"
"Don't."
Li Jie suddenly spoke, his voice trembling with deep sorrow, pleading to preserve the last shred of dignity for his daughter.
Tang Yaoyao felt sorry for Li Xiaoran; she was indeed very pitiful.
However, there's a saying that goes something like this.
There's always a reason why someone is pitiful.
If Li Xiaoran hadn't been so extreme in pursuing love in the first place, how could she have been schemed against?
She gave Xiao Wen a chance, but Xiao Wen is the most hateful one; she ruined a girl's long-held dream.
No one knows better than her how desperate it is to find out that hope is nothing but a bubble.
Wasn't this how she searched for her benefactor...?
"Can you give me the video?"
Li Jie's request brought her back to her senses.
Tang Yaoyao looked up at him, the emotions from before long gone from her eyes. She gently curved her lips into a radiant smile: "Why should I give it to you? Isn't this the best leverage I can use against you?"
Li Jie was furious: "You! Despicable!"
"Thank you for the compliment!"
Li Jie was so angry that his anger was burning in his chest and he couldn't get rid of it. Finally, he looked at Xiao Wen and a fierce light flashed in his eyes. If he hadn't been so weak from the blow, he would have wanted to kill this woman.
Nine years of hard work and cultivation have only brought me excruciating pain.
Xiao Wen bit her lip, her eyes darting around. She now understood that Tang Yaoyao had come prepared and that she couldn't possibly be lying.
A surge of emotion welled up inside me, and my heart sank.
Finally, she looked at Tang Yaoyao and faced the problem in front of her with composure: "What do you want in return for the video?"
Even though Li Jie knew it was true, Xiao Wen's candid admission at this moment still caused him pain, shock, and anger...
A mix of emotions welled up inside me.
Tang Yaoyao crossed her legs, her calves swinging back and forth. Xiao Wen was indeed Xiao Wen; even though things had developed to this point, she could still pretend to be calm, as if it were no big deal.
Tang Yaoyao chuckled softly, then slowly raised an eyebrow: "It's simple, clarify things for me."
"Clarify what?"
"You orchestrated all the fights and brawls among the fans, Xiao Wen. Don't try to play games with me, and don't take any chances. My time is precious, and I don't want to waste it on pointless things. This is your chance to atone for your sins. Whether I forgive you or not depends on your sincerity."
Her voice was half cold and very arrogant, and her slightly narrowed eyes revealed her unparalleled elegance.
Such a woman exudes charm from the inside out, like a noble goddess looking down upon the weak mortals.
Xiao Wen hadn't expected her to be so direct, hitting right at the soul.
If this clarification is not done, the consequences will be unimaginable.
After a long pause, Li Jie asked gravely, "Ms. Tang, how would you like us to clarify this?"
