Chapter 1022 Sacrifice Yourself
Maria was speaking only to Tom and Katie in the studio, but outside the studio, her words were like a crazy tornado, causing a huge uproar. More and more Americans who heard the news turned on their TVs, and those who were watching TV immediately switched to Katie's talk show channel.
At this time, Liu Lan, who had been discharged from the hospital, also learned the news. Liu Lan was in Yu Zhan's apartment, and Li Xiaoru was beside her. The two of them had to practice the piano together. There were only five days left before Jason's mini performance. This performance was much more difficult than recording in the studio, even more difficult than their previous performances, and there was no room for error.
After Liu Lan was discharged from the hospital yesterday, she immediately began preparing for the performance. She asked Li Xiaoru not to run back and forth anymore and to live in Yu Zhan's apartment to avoid wasting time on transportation.
Now there is no such thing as inconvenience or embarrassment. He Lushen, Song Junzhe and Yu Zhan, three men, live upstairs, and the two girls live downstairs, so it is difficult for the two sides to meet each other. Because except for He Lushen, Song and Yu are too busy to be seen. The MV??C plan planned by He Lushen for Jason requires the participation of their people. He Lushen cannot go out, so everything has to be done by Yu Zhan and Song Junzhe for him. For example, tonight, Director Lin Zhi and several teachers in charge of props, costumes and scenery in the crew of "Han Palace Autumn Moon" will arrive in New York. They also brought a batch of goods, and Yu Zhan and the others will meet them at the airport.
Liu Lan and Li Xiaoru were practicing musical instruments and had no time to watch TV. He Lushen was doing his own thing on the second floor. They did not interfere with each other and had no interest in watching TV.
A phone call from Bang broke their peace. Bang's tone was extremely anxious, even a little incoherent. He kept urging her to watch Katie's talk show, and then he immediately hung up the phone.
Confused, Liu Lan quickly looked for the remote control and turned on the TV in the living room. After switching several English channels, she had to ask Li Xiaoru, "Xiaoru, what channel is Katie's talk show on?"
"How would I know? There's no TV in the house I rent."
"XX Channel," He Lushen said casually while standing on the stairs on the second floor.
...
...
"Oh oh," Liu Lan immediately changed the channel, and the picture suddenly jumped to a close-up of Maria, which scared the three of them.
He Lushen was about to turn around and go back to his room on the second floor, but when he saw Maria's face, he turned around and walked downstairs.
Li Xiaoru stood up from the piano chair in surprise, "Isn't she... the rich girl who invited you to the party? How come she's on TV?"
"I don't know either," Liu Lan stood in front of the TV. The TV was quite big. Maria's face was bigger than Liu Lan's head. The pores on her face were clearly visible, and her eyes made people feel distressed.
At this time, the camera turned to Katie, who had a serious expression. "I can probably understand your reluctance to publicize. I have a friend who was also a victim of domestic violence, but she didn't tell anyone. Her parents and friends like us were kept in the dark for a long time until she was seriously injured and couldn't hide it anymore. It was only then that she was discovered. And I called the police for her. She is also a woman who values her reputation very much."
"Yes, I care about my reputation. I thought I wasn't seriously injured anyway, so I just thought I was bitten by a dog. I just need to stay away from that man. If the old doesn't go, the new won't come. I don't want to cause trouble," Maria brushed her hair aside in a very casual manner, "so I tried to date Tom again, hoping that the new relationship would make me forget this unpleasant past."
She said "sorry" to Tom, "I have never loved you from the beginning to the end. My feelings for you are just ordinary goodwill. Even though you are kind, humorous, and a great rugby player, and a very good man, I just can't be attracted to you. Maybe God thinks you are suitable for a better woman."
Tom would have been very proud of such a compliment under normal circumstances, but he felt very uncomfortable at the moment. It was not because he felt that Maria was being used as a tool, but because he felt that Maria was too pitiful. How could she bear such a huge grievance in her heart? He actually went to her to ask for an explanation again and again, which made her feel upset. He wanted to slap himself twice now!
Liu Lan and the other two were not stupid. From this brief conversation, they immediately concluded that Maria had been subjected to violence by Richard! And she actually made it public on a live TV show. Liu Lan finally understood what Maria meant by "I'll take care of it all."
He Lushen frowned, and he also realized this. He remembered the cunning look on the blonde woman's face when she smiled and told him that the bail would be $100 million. He thought she was noisy and annoying at the time. But after being arrested for the second time, he was counting on her to save him. She didn't come and no longer cared about him. He couldn't suppress his disappointment.
