I clicked on one of the videos, and the image was of Li Qinglan kneeling before me in front of the courthouse.
I suddenly realized that the Gu family relatives who went to join in the fun that day were probably there to take a video so they could spread rumors and slander.
Are all the Gu family members brainless?
I have evidence of Gu Yutian's crimes. Originally, I just wanted to report the case and seek legal aid, but I didn't intend to expose it on social media.
Now that they're pressuring me like this, aren't they afraid I'll just give up and we'll all go down together?
It's important to know that the Gu family is currently at a disadvantage, and Gu Yutian's reputation is ruined.
If the despicable things she did were posted online, coupled with the fact that she was gang-raped and lost her virginity, given the overwhelming power of online media, she would be cyberbullied to the point of having no way out!
I really can't understand the Gu family's thought process.
They are a prominent family in Jiangcheng, so why did they act so foolishly? It's like hurting the enemy eight hundred while injuring themselves a thousand!
While I was still racking my brains trying to figure out what the Gu family was after, Li Yunwei called.
She was surprised, just as puzzled as I was.
"Is Gu Yanqing driven mad by hatred and despair because he can't have you? By doing this, he's essentially driving his own sister to her death, and his parents aren't doing anything about it?"
I smiled wryly. "I don't know. He probably thinks... as long as he can ruin my reputation and prevent me from being with Su Shenglin, he doesn't care what the price is."
That's the only reason I can think of.
He had previously told me that if he couldn't have it, no one else could either.
Now it seems that he is putting this statement into practice.
"So what are you planning to do? This matter needs to be clarified, otherwise people will really think you cheated first, and if he clears his name, you'll be ruined." Li Yunwei was very anxious.
I was anxious at first, but I quickly calmed down and realized that Gu Yanqing had no chance of winning.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I'll issue a statement later and see how things turn out."
After comforting my best friend, I carefully considered how to write the statement, and then called Su Shenglin.
"Don't try to suppress the trending topics, otherwise people will think I'm guilty. I'm going to write a short essay to respond and see how the public reacts."
Su Shenglin disagreed, saying, "Given the current level of online attention, it's safest for you to remain silent. Once you respond, all the attention will be focused on you."
"It's okay, I've been through a lot, I can handle it."
I am not being arrogant when I say this.
Rather, it was the Jiang family's oppression and bullying that forged my strong heart and thick skin.
Otherwise, when I experienced a divorce a few months ago, I was so devastated that I jumped off the building.
But Su Shenglin was still worried. "How about I come with you? I know you're used to handling things alone, but you had no choice before. You don't have to do that now."
"No, given the current situation, it's best if we don't meet, otherwise it will give others more ammunition against us."
"So, today is New Year's Day, and you're planning to spend it alone?"
New Year……
I put one hand to my forehead, feeling dizzy and completely forgetting what day it was.
“There’s a New Year’s Eve event tonight. I told you before, since you wouldn’t let me go during the day, I’ll pick you up later so you can go out and meet up with your friends and have some fun. It’s better than you staying home alone and overthinking.” He finished speaking gently and patiently, then paused and added, “It also keeps me up at night.”
Holding my phone, his gentle voice echoed in my ears, instantly calming my restless and anxious heart.
"Okay, see you tonight."
After hanging up the phone, I didn't have time to think about these romantic feelings and immediately turned on my computer to get busy.
At the same time, I called the criminal lawyer in charge of Gu Yutian's case and asked him to introduce me to a lawyer who specializes in dealing with online rumors.
I asked Xiaoyingtao to contact the company's public relations department to compile a list of the main IDs spreading rumors online.
Afterwards, I handed over these false IDs to my newly hired civil lawyer, asking him to issue me a lawyer's letter as soon as possible to hold the false IDs legally accountable.
By the time I finished all of this, it was already noon.
I published the "short essay" and had the public relations department proactively contact several media outlets to amplify its impact.
After I quickly made something to fill my stomach, before I even put down my chopsticks, my phone started ringing one call after another.
Li Yunwei, Song Ci, Liang Shan, and others all told me that they helped forward the short essay and the lawyer's letter, and also bought a lot of online trolls to fight back against the online trolls.
I expressed my gratitude repeatedly.
It seems my life isn't all that miserable.
Although my family is despicable and my ex-husband is despicable, at least I still have so many friends who are genuinely kind to me, which shows that I am not a failure as a person.
My aunt and grandmother also found out about this and were very worried about me. I comforted them for a while to put their minds at ease.
After making those calls, I received a text message from an unknown number.
I clicked on it and was slightly taken aback.
[Jiang Wan, I didn't expect you to be so meticulous. You remember everything that's happened over the years so clearly. You've been waiting to settle scores with me, wanting me to be grateful to you, haven't you?]
I knew who posted it the moment I saw it. I frowned and a chill ran through me.
[Gu Yanqing, shouldn't you be grateful to me? If I hadn't saved you, you'd be overgrown with weeds by now. Such ingratitude is no wonder even Heaven couldn't stand it and caused your old illness to relapse.]
There was no further response from the other end.
They probably realized they couldn't out-argue me, so they stopped trying to embarrass themselves.
