Tang Yaoyao raised an eyebrow slightly and said in a very light and clever way: "It's simple. You can be honest about what you've done to me. It's not painful, is it?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wen's face darkened, her hands clenched tightly, and she felt a panic she had never experienced before.
Seeing that the two of them were silent, Tang Yaoyao's smile held a hint of coldness. She raised her voice slightly and narrowed her eyes: "What, you don't want to?"
After letting go of the sheets, Xiao Wen clutched them again, refusing to speak.
If fans knew that she was willing to go to any lengths to discredit Tang Yaoyao, even ruining her own fans' appearances, and that her actions were so vicious, it would be almost impossible for her to be forgiven.
"Miss Tang..."
"Stop. I have no other conditions, and you can't try to negotiate with me. I didn't ask you to apologize to me. This is my only request."
This one request was enough to kill Xiao Wen.
Xiao Wen didn't expect her attitude to be so tough. She subconsciously looked at Li Jie, who was on the verge of a breakdown and didn't care at all.
Tang Yaoyao also looked over.
Oh.
Li Jie wanted to stay out of it.
But she didn't believe it; she was being vilified so badly, and Li Jie wasn't involved—that was absolutely impossible.
"Brother Jie, I'm waiting for your reply."
That sweet, delicate voice held no hint of coquetry; instead, it was aggressive and domineering.
Li Jie wasn't refusing to answer, nor was he unwilling; he was simply heartbroken over the past nine years.
He raised his eyes, looked at Tang Yaoyao, his eyes reddening, and answered without hesitation, "I will help Miss Tang clear her name."
"Brother Jie, you need to think this through. It's not about helping, it's about atonement," Tang Yaoyao slowly corrected him.
Li Jie's face was deathly pale, his lips trembled, but he couldn't utter a single word.
Xiao Wen panicked: "Brother Jie, no, you'll ruin me. My fans will never forgive me. You can't!"
Li Jie didn't want to look at her or say a word. He breathed heavily, and his tears flowed into his heart.
Tang Yaoyao smiled, a hint of dejection in her eyes: "Miss Xiao Wen, you must be joking. When you were doing all this, didn't you ever think that you would ruin Li Xiaoran?"
One sentence made Li Jie even more determined. He remained silent, but his heart was churning with emotions.
Who would have thought things would turn out this way?
"No, I won't allow it. As long as I don't admit it, Brother Jie can't fully represent my opinion."
"Oh, no, that's not allowed~"
Tang Yaoyao repeated what she had said, rubbing her chin with her fingers, one stroke after another, making it even more dangerous than before.
"Absolutely not, I don't want all my years of hard work in the entertainment industry to be ruined in an instant."
Tang Yaoyao narrowed her beautiful fox-like eyes, the curve of which was very elegant, and her voice was as cold as ice: "Miss Li, you don't seem to have any right to negotiate with me."
"Why not? The video was posted, but it was only Li Xiaoran's video, it has nothing to do with me." Xiao Wen was too anxious at this point, and almost blurted it out.
Look.
What a vicious, selfish woman she is.
Li Jie finally couldn't take it anymore, stood up, his whole body radiating a devastating rage.
I walked over quickly.
Xiao Wen looked up at him, then belatedly realized she had said the wrong thing: "Brother Jie..."
Snap—
Li Jie interrupted her with a slap.
Xiao Wen is indeed sick; that slap almost knocked her unconscious.
She gripped the sheets, her cheeks burning with pain, and tears streamed down her face.
What are you saying?
Xiao Wen felt extremely embarrassed and couldn't say a word.
"Xiao Ran trusted you so much, and what have you done?"
After Li Jie finished speaking, he seemed to lose his support and slowly slumped to the ground, tears streaming down his face: "What sins did I commit to become your manager?"
Xiao Wen covered her face: "Brother Jie, I'm sorry... but we are family, and it is precisely at times like this that we need to stick together and support each other."
"Xiao Wen, stop trying to fool me. You only care about yourself. Otherwise, why would you harm my daughter? If I still protect you at a time like this, would I even be a human being?"
Xiao Wen's face was deathly pale, and the places where she had been beaten were red and purple, creating a stark contrast that looked shocking.
She raised her head.
Tang Yaoyao shrugged: "Don't look at me, this is all your own fault. Xiao Wen, are you really stupid, or are you just pretending?"
"What's the meaning?"
"I have this video. Do you think I don't have evidence that you did something wrong?"
At this moment, Xiao Wen gradually realized what kind of opponent she had met.
I just felt a chill creeping into my heart.
"It's just that I've never liked exposing other people's secrets. If Miss Xiao Wen wants to force me, I don't mind putting all your actions online. It's really just a matter of lifting a finger for me."
Of course, she wouldn't choose to do that.
The biggest difference between her and Xiao Wen is that she wouldn't ruin a young girl in the prime of her life for the sake of her own career.
She's not in the industry; she was just too naive and got taken advantage of. She shouldn't have to suffer the harm and pain caused by public opinion.
Sometimes, public opinion really can kill a person.
Li Xiaoran couldn't take it.
As a woman herself, she hoped to keep Li Xiaoran's secret and also to make her serious and realistic, so that she would never again make a foolish mistake and give others the opportunity to take advantage of her.
How could Li Jie not understand?
He knew that Tang Yaoyao was giving him a chance, and if he missed it, he would never have another.
"I will issue a statement to clarify, and I only hope that Ms. Tang will be lenient."
Tang Yaoyao smiled, her eyes alluring: "Of course, of course."
The most satisfying way to get revenge is to make them kill each other, clarify things themselves, and slap themselves in the face.
Feels so good~
Thinking of this, Tang Yaoyao smiled, stood up, looked at the somewhat distraught Xiao Wen, and licked her bloodthirsty little tiger teeth: "Miss Xiao Wen, clarify things personally within half an hour. Time waits for no one~"
After saying that, he turned and left gracefully.
Two bodyguards followed closely behind.
Xiao Wen watched Tang Yaoyao's haughty back and slumped softly onto the bed.
This was the first time I had been attacked so suddenly and unexpectedly, leaving me completely disheveled and without even a chance to fight back.
Tang Yaoyao felt refreshed as she left Xiao Wen's hospital room.
She's just waiting to see the show, to see the whole internet lose face.
Soon, they returned to Su Mei's ward.
Seeing that she had returned safe and sound, Su Mei finally breathed a sigh of relief: "How did things go?"
"We'll see in half an hour." Tang Yaoyao licked her lips.
Su Mei frowned: "On Weibo, the insults against you are even more intense. The whole internet is looking for you, wishing they could make you kneel down in public and apologize to Xiao Wen and Liu Ai. Don't go out until this matter is resolved."
Tang Yaoyao's eyes sparkled, and a faint smile appeared on her lips: "Contact the reporter who discovered this and notify the entire internet that I want to see Liu Ai."
