Chapter 95 Video Goes Viral
The secret that had been hidden for many years was discovered, and Liao Wen and Liao Ranwei instantly showed guilty expressions.
Liao Wen tried to argue: "Lu Tong, don't listen to an outsider's nonsense. I raised Ran Wei with great difficulty, how could I not be his biological mother?"
Lu Tong didn't say anything. She looked at Liao Wen and Liao Ranwei's faces and realized at that moment that they looked nothing alike.
Moreover, Lu Tong was a little uncertain at first, but when she saw the guilty expressions on the two people's faces, her mood immediately sank.
Liao Wen wanted to explain desperately, but she had a stupid teammate by her side. No one expected that Liao Ranwei would just blow himself up. Normally he might be calmer, but now he was very angry.
Thinking of how Lu Tong wanted to kick Liao Wen out, Liao Ranwei looked at her with a bit of viciousness. He said directly: "That's right, we are not biological mother and son at all. Haha, if it weren't for the fact that you can give birth to a child for me, do you think I would marry you?"
Liao Wen frowned, winked at Liao Ranwei desperately, and whispered: "Are you crazy? What nonsense are you talking about!"
Unexpectedly, Liao Ranwei directly grabbed Liao Wen's hand and said, "What are you afraid of? She has already given birth to the child."
Lu Tong looked at Liao Ranwei in disbelief. She originally thought that the two of them at least had some real feelings for each other, but she didn't expect Liao Ranwei to say that.
At this moment, she completely collapsed. She pushed Liao Ranwei like crazy and yelled, "Liao Ranwei, you bastard, why did you lie to me, why!"
Liao Ranwei frowned and pushed Lu Tong away. The latter fell to the ground and didn't get up for a long time.
Some people around couldn't bear to watch it anymore. Some walked over to help Lu Tong up, while some people pointed at Liao Ranwei.
Liao Ranwei didn't know what was wrong with him today. He didn't care at all about what these people said about him. He even started swearing at passersby, which made the passersby very angry.
Finally, seeing that there were so many people around, Liao Ranwei simply took Liao Wen back to the room and locked Lu Tong alone outside the door.
Outside the door, Lu Tong was helped up by someone. Her eyes were blank and empty, and she had obviously suffered a great blow.
Liu Yu felt a little reluctant to watch this, but any words of comfort would seem so pale now, so she could only pat Lu Tong gently on the back.
Qi Nian looked at Lu Tong and felt a little regretful. Shouldn't he have been so impulsive and complained about everything in front of others?
No matter what, they couldn't just stand outside the corridor, so they helped Lu Tong to Liu Yu's room.
As soon as she entered the room, Lu Tong seemed to finally come to her senses and burst into tears.
She cried for a long time, and finally stopped. She slowly raised her head and looked at Qi Nian. With a bit of gratitude and pain, she choked and said, "Thank you... If it weren't for you, I would still be kept in the dark by them."
When Lu Tong thought about what this fake mother and son would do behind her back, she felt a chill all over her body.
Qi Nian's heart, which had been tense all the time, relaxed a little and he shook his head to indicate that everything was fine.
Lu Tong thought of something and began to mutter to herself again: "No, I want to divorce him!"
Whether for herself or for her child, she didn't dare let her child grow up in such an environment and let the child know that she had such a disgusting father.
Qi Nian and the others breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, it was good that Lu Tong could figure it out.
"However, I think Liao Ranwei will definitely not give up fighting for the child." Lu Ze said calmly. After all, didn't the other party harm others in the first place just for the so-called continuation of the family line?
Thinking of this, Lu Ze's expression revealed a hint of disgust.
Lu Tong was a little panicked when she heard this: "No, we can't give the child to them, absolutely not."
Just thinking about what kind of environment the children would live in made Lu Tong feel horrified.
"Help people to the end. I happen to have a lawyer friend who likes to stand up for what is right. Maybe he can help you with the lawsuit." Lu Ze said with a smile.
Lu Tong was a little hesitant when she heard this: "You guys have helped me so much, it's too much trouble."
"It's no problem," Qi Nian said gently, "No matter what, get the custody of the child first."
Liu Yu also nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, sister, please don't be polite."
Lu Ze said directly: "No need to be polite, you still need to pay the lawyer's fees anyway."
Qi Nian and Liu Yu: "..."
Well, you should pay the lawyer's fees.
But I have to say that Lu Ze felt that he had helped Lu Tong. After all, the lawyer introduced by the other party was a very good lawyer, and Lu Tong was in a very difficult situation now, so she might not be able to find such a lawyer.
Therefore, Lu Tong was still very grateful and kept thanking Lu Ze.
Lu Ze yawned and said, "Don't thank me. It's getting late. Go to bed."
Lu Tong felt embarrassed for waking people up in the middle of the night, and nodded quickly: "Yes, go to bed."
Seeing that there was nothing to worry about for the time being, Qi Nian nodded, went back to his room, and fell asleep.
After waking up, I went to find Liu Yu and the others, and found that Lu Tong looked a little unhappy.
Upon asking, I found out that Liao Ranwei and Liao Wen checked out and left early this morning. It seemed that they had lost their temper.
Lu Tong was worried about her son. Although she sent her son to his mother before leaving, if Liao Ranwei went to pick up the child, her parents would definitely not be able to stop him.
She thought about it and decided to call her parents. She didn't say anything specific, but just told them that if Liao Ranwei went to pick up the child, they should not let him take the child away.
Although Lu Tong's parents were confused, they still agreed after hearing their daughter's serious tone.
Unexpectedly, Lu Tong guessed it right. Not long after Lu Tong hung up the phone, Lu's father and mother heard someone ringing the doorbell.
I went over and opened the door, and saw it was Liao Ranwei.
Early this morning, Liao Ranwei hurriedly left the hotel at the urging of Liao Wen.
The two of them agreed that no matter what, they would take the child to them first, so that they could take the initiative.
However, Liao Ranwei never expected that Lu Tong had informed her parents in advance, so when he proposed to take the child away, Lu's parents fooled him by saying that the child was going to his uncle's house.
It was still early in the morning and the child was still sleeping. Liao Ranwei looked into the house but did not find the child. He could not force his way in and could only leave in shame.
Not long after, Lu Tong returned to her parents' home and went to see her child first. She breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that the child was still there.
Lu's father and mother looked at their daughter, looked at each other, and felt that something had happened, so they started asking.
Lu Tong hesitated for a moment, fearing that if she hid the truth from her parents, they would be deceived by that bastard Liao Ranwei, but in the end she told the truth.
After hearing this, the Lu family's parents were furious, especially Lu's father: "This Liao Ranwei is too bullying! No, I have to seek justice for my daughter!"
Lu Tong quickly stopped her father and cried and tried to persuade him for a long time. Of course, she couldn't be heartbroken for Liao Ranwei. She wasn't crazy. She was just worried that her father would be angered by him again.
Fortunately, after Lu Tong's persuasion, Mr. Lu quickly calmed down.
——
The lawyer introduced by Lu Ze got in touch with Lu Tong very quickly. The lawyer was very professional and analyzed the current situation for Lu Tong, which finally calmed her anxious mood.
According to the lawyer, she has a good chance of winning, and based on Liao Ranwei's fault, the other party will have to pay her compensation. Although the amount will not be particularly large, it will be enough to make Liao Ranwei lose a lot of money.
Thinking of this, Lu Tong smiled for the first time in these days.
On the other hand, Liao Ranwei was not in such a good mood. He did not expect that Lu Tong would be so cruel and completely disregard the relationship between them and directly sued him in court.
If Qi Nian knew what he was thinking, he would definitely call him shameless.
He had done such a shameless thing, yet he still had the nerve to accuse others of being inconsiderate. To be honest, the fact that Lu Tong didn't kill him was a sign of calmness on her part.
Perhaps he had anticipated the outcome of the lawsuit, Liao Ranwei was a little upset, and his mood improved only after Liao Wen comforted him for a while.
He frowned and picked up his briefcase: "I'm going to work first."
No matter how upset you are, you have to go to work first.
Liao Ranwei's job is pretty good. He is less than 30 years old now, but he is already a small leader in the company. Recently, his superiors are planning to promote him.
Thinking of this, Liao Ranwei's originally depressed mood was dispelled and he became full of energy.
However, after he arrived at the company, he found that many people were looking at him vaguely. Those looks made him feel uncomfortable and he didn't understand what was going on.
Could it be that his promotion was finalized? Thinking of this, Liao Ranwei smiled.
He had no idea that after seeing him laughing, several of his colleagues started murmuring even louder.
"Oh my god, he still has the nerve to smile?"
"It's so disgusting. I didn't expect this kind of thing to still exist..."
Liao Ranwei came to his workstation in a good mood, and heard his leader asking him to go to the office.
Was he going to tell him about the promotion? Thinking of this, Liao Ranwei immediately stood up and walked briskly towards the leadership office.
At this moment, a man came towards them. He was Liao Ranwei's competitor in the company. The promotion this time would be between the two of them.
Seeing the other party just coming out of the leadership office, Liao Ranwei's heart skipped a beat, and he was a little unsure whether he could be promoted.
At this moment, the other party stopped, looked at Liao Ranwei and smiled: "Ranwei, congratulations, you will have a broader world in the future."
Liao Ranwei always felt that the other party had bad intentions when he saw him, but then he became complacent. Could it be that his promotion was already confirmed, so the other party was giving in to him?
Thinking of this, Liao Ranwei couldn't help but reveal a smug smile. After all, no one could remain calm if they knew they were going to be promoted. He looked at the other party with false humility and said, "I'll ask you to cooperate with me in the future. The leader wants to see me, so I'll go over first."
Liao Ranwei couldn't wait to hear the news of his promotion, so he walked very quickly, not noticing that the other party smiled gloatingly after hearing what he said.
Arriving at the leader's office, Liao Ranwei stood in front of the desk, trying hard not to smile too obviously.
However, before he could be happy for long, he saw the leader looking at him and suddenly sighed.
Liao Ranwei's joy froze in an instant. Looking at his leader's expression, he clenched his hands nervously.
Liao Ranwei: "Leader, I..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a leader with a bad face. The other party looked a little disappointed: "Xiao Liao, I have always been optimistic about your promotion. You are capable and everyone has seen it."
The leader kept praising him, but Liao Ranwei couldn't feel happy. If he still couldn't understand the hidden meaning in the other party's words, then he would be really stupid.
However, he couldn't understand why this unexpected thing happened when his promotion should have been a sure thing.
Could it be that the guy surnamed Chen gave a gift to the leader? Liao Ranwei couldn't think of any other reason.
After hearing what the leader said next, he immediately understood the real reason.
The leader looked at him and shook his head: "But, the company's promotion is an all-round test, not just ability. Xiao Liao, the leaders above have great opinions on your personal lifestyle. In comparison, Xiao Chen has done well in this regard, so this opportunity has been given to Xiao Chen."
When Liao Ranwei heard this, he immediately became anxious: "Leader, how could this happen? I don't think there is anything wrong with my lifestyle. Did Xiao Chen say something? Leaders, you must..."
Liao Ranwei was obviously overwhelmed and spoke without thinking. This was tantamount to pointing fingers at the leader and accusing him of being biased. As you can imagine, the leader's face immediately became even worse.
The other party interrupted Liao Ranwei with a cold face: "You don't need to know what Xiao Chen said, just look at yourself and see how serious your trouble is!"
The leader directly threw the phone to him, on which a video was playing. After seeing the content of the video, Liao Ranwei's face immediately turned pale.
Isn’t this the part where he quarreled with Lu Tong in the hotel?
When they were arguing, there were people all around watching the fun. Some of them might have never seen such a bizarre thing before, so they recorded it with their cell phones and posted it online.
And because the Liao family's facts were so explosive, the video quickly went viral and has now begun to circulate widely.
As luck would have it, a netizen recognized Liao Ranwei and dug out his company. The enthusiastic netizen directly called the company's top management and said that there were big problems with the work style of their company's employees.
If only one or two people called, the leaders might not care. But if there were too many people calling, the senior management would get really annoyed and pass the message on to the lower levels. Naturally, just one word from the other party could prevent Liao Ranwei from being promoted.
After watching this video, Liao Ranwei even felt a little unsteady on his feet. His legs went weak and he had to hold on to the table to avoid falling.
"Take a good look at yourself. I really misjudged you before. You even wanted to slander Xiao Chen!" The leader looked at Liao Ranwei sternly. He was certainly not speaking for Xiao Chen, but he was very dissatisfied with Liao Ranwei's attitude just now, so naturally he would not give him face.
Liao Ranwei finally reacted and kept apologizing to his leader.
At the same time, he comforted himself in his heart that it was just an opportunity for promotion, nothing serious, as long as he had the ability, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.
But no matter how much he comforts himself, it is impossible to stop him from feeling heartbroken!
However, he didn't expect that what would make him even more heartbroken was yet to come.
Because of his attitude just now, the leader who originally wanted to plead for him no longer had the heart to do so. He looked at Liao Ranwei coldly and said, "Go to the HR department and discuss your resignation."
"Resign? Leader, I was really wrong. I can't lose this job, leader..." Liao Ranwei was anxious and incoherent.
The leader's expression didn't change at all. He waved his hand impatiently and said, "Alright, stop talking to me about this. Our company attaches great importance to the image of its employees outside. Your behavior has caused a very bad social impact. The company can no longer keep you."
Of course, what the leader said was just superficial. What the hell is there to care about image? There are many people with more messy private lives than Liao Ranwei. In the end, it all depends on whether there is anyone willing to protect him.
Obviously, no one wants Liao Ranwei now.
Finally, the leader became impatient with Liao Ranwei and said perfunctorily: "You can stay if you want. Ask your wife to send a video to explain clearly and save the company's image. I will let you stay, okay?"
Anyone with a bit of common sense would know that the leader was deliberately making things difficult for him, but Liao Ranwei, who was about to lose, had obviously lost his mind.
He left in a hurry and called Lu Tong. The result was predictable. Lu Tong almost laughed after hearing his request: "Liao Ranwei, your retribution has finally come. Don't expect me to clarify for you. I'm not stupid."
Having said that, he hung up Liao Ranwei's phone.
When Liao Ranwei hurriedly called the other party again, he found that he had been blocked by the other party.
He looked dejected and sat on the cold ground, not caring how dirty it was.
At this moment, a mocking laugh came from the side. Liao Ranwei turned around and saw Xiao Chen.
In just a few minutes, the high-spirited look on Liao Ranwei's face had completely disappeared. He recalled what Xiao Chen had just said when he congratulated him, and then he realized that the other party was simply mocking him.
Liao Ranwei, who had already lost his mind, rushed forward and wrestled with Xiao Chen. However, not long after, the security guards arrived in time.
Liao Ranwei was held by a strong security guard, while Xiao Chen, as a new leader, was surrounded by many people. Although they were only a few steps apart, they were very different from each other.
Liao Ranwei finally came to his senses when he was carried by the security guards, thrown out of the company, and lying on the cold ground.
Looking at the curious eyes of passers-by, Liao Ranwei quickly got up from the ground. He suddenly thought of something and immediately regained his spirits.
He can't give up now, he still has a chance! As long as he finds Lu Tong and asks her to help him clarify the matter, he can still return to the company!
——
Lu Tong didn't expect Liao Ranwei to be so shameless. After being ruthlessly rejected by her, he actually brought Liao Wen to her door.
To be precise, it was Liao Ranwei who was coming over. After Liao Wen heard about it, she also hurried over.
Originally, Lu Tong didn't want to see them, but the two of them kept shouting outside, so in order not to disturb the neighbors, she had to go out.
"Liao Ranwei, there is no way I can help you with the so-called clarification. Since you have done those things, you should take responsibility instead of coming here to beg me to whitewash it for you!" Lu Tong, who has recovered in the past few days, said bluntly.
"I was really wrong, Xiaotong, I'm sorry to you, but please give me a chance. You know, this job is really important to me. Xiaotong, I know you won't be so cruel. Please help me, please." Liao Ranwei has already risked his face to let Lu Tong help him.
"Yes, Xiaotong, I was wrong before. I was also wrong. As long as you help Ranwei this time, in the future... I promise not to appear in front of you again, and you can still live a good life with Ranwei." Liao Wen obviously hasn't faced the reality yet and thinks that Lu Tong appreciates her so-called concession.
Lu Tong was so annoyed by the two men that her nose was sore. She felt sorry for herself for giving in and enduring again and again: "It was because I was not ruthless enough before that you two bullied and insulted me so recklessly. Also, do you really think Liao Ranwei is so popular? I don't care! You guys leave here quickly, or I will call the security guard!"
Liao Ranwei acted as if he didn't hear anything and continued to say nice things, and later even knelt down in front of Lu Tong.
Liao Wen, feeling extremely distressed upon seeing his expression, also knelt down and begged Lu Tong.
But in my heart I was thinking, how dare Lu Tong insult Ran Wei like this, after this matter is over, let's see how she will deal with her!
However, she was destined to fail. Lu Tong had completely given up on Liao Ranwei. He knelt down not to beg her, but to force her!
Lu Tong was so angry that she was shaking all over. Lu's father and mother were originally outside taking their grandson out to play, but after hearing what the neighbors said, Lu's father hurried back alone.
Seeing that her daughter was very angry, she immediately asked her daughter to go back and she called the community security guard.
"I don't want to say anything more to you. If you don't leave, just wait for the security to chase you away!" Father Lu said, slamming the door shut and locking the two troublesome people out.
Seeing that Lu Tong was not relenting, Liao Wen looked at Liao Ranwei distressedly and tried to pull him carefully: "Ranwei, I..."
Before she finished speaking, Liao Ranwei shook her hand off, looked at Liao Wen with extremely strange eyes, and said angrily: "It's all your fault! It's all because of you, I'm done now!"
Liao Wen's lips trembled as she looked at the other party in disbelief.
In fact, it makes sense why Liao Ranwei would be like this. He has never been responsible for anything and is usually fine. If something goes wrong, he will of course just blame others.
After Liao Ranwei left, Liao Wen, who was still kneeling there, suddenly burst into tears and looked even more sad than before.
——
Qi Nian heard about this not long after. He ate melon seeds in disgust and said, "Isn't Liao Ranwei too shameless? He actually went to ask Sister Lu Tong for help. He didn't really think that Sister Lu Tong would explain for him, did he?"
Liu Yu shrugged, seeming very calm about this: "Don't think about people like him with a normal mind. Anyway, I'm not surprised by anything he does."
"But I can't figure it out." Qi Nian frowned and asked doubtfully, "It's just a job. If he's gone, I can find another one. Is it necessary to kneel down and beg Sister Lu Tong?"
Of course, he didn't feel sorry for Liao Ranwei, he just felt sorry for Lu Tong, and Liao Ranwei hated him.
Lu Ze laughed when he heard this: "This is not just a problem with this job. You have to know how widely that video has been circulated. Basically everyone has seen it now. Which company do you think is willing to take the risk of being scolded by netizens to hire him? He is not an indispensable talent. Even if the storm of this incident is over in the future, he has been out of work for so long. How can he compare with those veterans who have been working hard in this industry? So, in the end, he can either find a job with a salary far lower than his current one, or he will be useless."
What Lu Ze didn't finish saying was that, based on what he knew from his lawyer friend, given Liao Ranwei's personality, the latter possibility might be more likely.
"It's true now that I think about it!" Qi Nian, who had been at the forefront of the melon-eating crowd, immediately recalled that he had seen that video at the end of the trending searches before.
There's nothing we can do. This incident was too explosive. It's normal for it to be at the bottom of the trending searches.
It now seems that it is a foregone conclusion that Lu Tong will get back the custody of the child. It is just a matter of time.
Moreover, she has a good job and is fully capable of raising her children. She does not need to rely on Liao Ranwei at all. This is why she could file for divorce without hesitation.
The two divorced, and Lu Tong didn't want the little alimony Liao Ranwei gave her. So Liao Ranwei losing his job had no effect on her.
As for Liao Ranwei, he has lost his job and has become famous (in a negative way). It goes without saying that if he wants to find a new job, he will run into obstacles everywhere.
He is not a responsible person and cannot withstand too much of a blow. The most likely scenario is that he will never recover from this. I guess he and Liao Wen will have a hard time in the future.
Thinking of this, Qi Nian couldn't help but laugh out loud. It must be said that he still likes to see bad guys being punished.
