BXBX NOVEL Chapter 569 - Pressure
Chapter 569: Pressure
“Do you think your grandson will have a good life living with your daughter and that scumbag?”
Vera listened to the old man’s words before she communicated her thoughts to the old man.
“I believe that the both of you have also heard about the recent events. Our artiste really wants to help Dongdong to get away from his parents. As long as the child’s custody is transferred over to the both of you, and as long as you promise to take good care of him, then our artiste will also promise to pay and subsidize for all of his treatments and any funds that is needed for his growth and sustenance in future. However, our artiste will only help on the premise that the child will not be in contact with his parents in future. Therefore, the both of you might have to leave this city to start your lives elsewhere. I don’t know if you would be willing to do that?”
After listening, the old couple was silent for a short while as they exchanged glances with one another. This made Vera think that they were unwilling to do so.
Unexpectedly, after a short while, the old man finally spoke up as he said to Vera, “If we can really take Dongdong into our custody to raise him up, then we would be more than willing to do so. After all, the both of us have already saved up quite a sum of money which was supposed to be our retirement funds. However, are you sure...that this will really work?”
“Yes, it will definitely work but are you sure you can really be that cruel? That is still your own biological daughter after all...”
The old couple seemed to have already lost all feelings and sympathy for their own daughter ever since a long time ago. They shook their heads in a mocking manner, as they had already given up completely on their own daughter. “In our hearts, we do not have any daughter anymore.”
A few years ago, when the old couple had not retired yet, the old man suffered a serious injury during work and he had to undergo a major operation. However, at that time, their daughter stole the money that was supposed to be used to pay for his operation. Because of that, the old lady had to go around borrowing money from all their friends and relatives just so that the old man could still go for his surgery.
“We just feel very sorry for your grandson now.”
“I really did not want the whole town to find out about all the disgusting and shameless things they had done. I really do not know how they can be so shameless and make things so difficult for an artiste who has nothing to do with them at all.”
The old man had been a very hardworking worker for most of his life and he was a very humble and down-to-earth person. However, ever since his daughter met that scumbag, he felt that his entire life had been completely ruined and turned upside down.
Vera understood what the old couple felt about the whole situation and she continued gathering all the information and evidence that she could in the small town with Secretary Ho. After that, the both of them rushed back to Luo City that same night because they wanted to see what the scumbag could do. Since a person was already so shameless, there was no end to the things that he could do to get what he wanted.
Vera initially thought that the scumbag had already outdone himself when he made his son so sick, just to get the attention of the media and public. However, unexpectedly, the next morning, there were reports stating that Sister Qin had jumped off the building because she was so upset that her child was so seriously ill.
She had really jumped off the building.
The couple knew that whatever tricks that they came up with would be useless. Therefore, they could only use this kind of petty moves to win over the sympathy of the public.
Of course, everything was just for show. It did not matter whether she jumped off the sixth floor of the building, or just the second floor of the building because what mattered to the public and media was the fact that she did in fact jump off the building.
The scumbag simply wanted to spread more news to create more speculations and assumptions about Jiang Yuning. He wanted to push her to a dead end because he did not believe that as a famous and popular celebrity, she did not care about maintaining her own image and reputation. He thought that Jiang Yuning would have no choice but to give them money obediently in the end because she would want to appease him and ask him to stop whatever he was doing.
If it was someone else, he would probably have succeeded and gotten what he wanted. This was because it was really troublesome for any artistes or celebrities to get involved in this kind of situation. The artistes would usually be afraid that it would provoke their fans and passers-by. However, the person that he was dealing with was Jiang Yuning. No matter how dirty it was or no matter how difficult the other party tried to make things, Jiang Yuning would never show any mercy and she would never give up as long as she had already decided to confront the matter heads on.
Obviously, things were already escalating at this point.
After all, when the netizens and passers-by heard that the other party’s wife had already jumped off the building, they began to subconsciously sympathize with the couple because they felt that they were the real victims in this situation. The woman was already willing to give up on her own life and she jumped off the building because she felt so depressed over her son’s illness.
...
[It is reported that there are now further contradictions and escalation of the incident involving the seriously ill young boy and the actress, Jiang Yuning...]
Now, it was not only the netizens, but the social news had also taken note of the incident.
In addition, they had also sent a reporter to interview the scumbag who was accompanying his wife at the hospital ward at this time. “Well, I feel very seriously wronged because my woman is now lying in the hospital and my child is also seriously ill. I never expected her to really jump off the building just because she was so depressed and upset about my child’s illness. Fortunately, she did not suffer very serious injuries. Otherwise, how would I be able to continue living in this world without my wife and my son?”
Reporter: “So, have you changed your appeal towards Jiang Yuning now?”
“Of course! As such a famous celebrity, she should come and have a look at how sick and injured our family is right now! She must be very happy that my family is in this state right now. I do not only want compensation from her but I also want to sue her for damages!”
Reporter: “How is your child doing now?”
Scumbag: “He is in the intensive care unit and he is still suffering from a high fever. The doctor said that it will take him a long time to recover...”
Reporter: “Why didn’t you send your son to the hospital as soon as you discovered that he was ill? Why didn’t you rush him to the hospital straight away? Why did you wait for Jiang Yuning?”
Reporter: “Don’t you have any money at all? Do you have no income of your own?”
In fact, the people who were watching this news did not understand the whole story at all. They only knew that a female celebrity named Jiang Yuning made the couple’s son seriously ill and the mother of the child jumped off a building because of that.
But what would happen if they found out the truth behind the matter?
Would they continue laughing or would they be fuming with anger?
[I have never seen such a brazen person in my life. How can you push the blame to someone else and blackmail them when your own child is ill? What has your child’s illness got to do with Jiang Yuning?]
[Jiang Yuning is really unlucky to have met with someone like this.]
[I saw someone from the same community sharing the video of the mother jumping from the building. How can they make it to the news when the woman was just jumping off the second floor of the building? I am getting angry because this is too ridiculous.]
[Don’t you understand that there is no right or wrong when it comes to money?]
[These reporters are also too amazing. Don’t you think that they should investigate the truth first? How can they post a story when all they know is just one side of the story?]
[I really hope that Jiang Yuning will step up and clear the air about the situation.]
[How can they just slander a celebrity so publicly just so that they could blackmail her and get her to pay them off with many? What is happening in this world nowadays? Just because he is weak and poor, does that mean that what he is doing is reasonable? How is this acceptable?]
[Ask Jiang Yuning to come out and kill them off!]
[I second that!]
[Second that +10086]
Of course, Jiang Yuning would come out to clarify the situation but for now, she was still waiting for the most detailed and accurate investigation report from Secretary Ho.
Moreover, all the information that Vera had obtained from her investigation could be used as supporting evidence.
However, the people in the entertainment industry were laughing and making fun of Jiang Yuning at this time because of the mess that she had gotten herself involved in. Why did she provoke someone like that? Wasn’t it too dumb of her?
Isn’t Jiang Yuning supposed to live a better life now?
Didn’t she marry the heir of the Lu family?
How could she still be bitten by a maggot like that?
The situation was really ugly.
The incident where Sister Qin jumped off the building caused a huge commotion on the internet and the public were all very concerned for the woman and her child. Therefore, everyone was hoping that Jiang Yuning would give her respond and opinion on the matter as soon as possible.
Jiang Yuning continued tolerating all the rumors on the internet until Secretary Ho gave her the last piece of evidence at two o’clock in the afternoon.
The young paparazzo also arranged for people from X Society to deal with all the pressure.
This time, X Society would be joining forces with Guangying Media to deal with this situation. After all, it was necessary for them to let those irresponsible reporters and media to know the huge impact that they had left on others because of their bias and one-sided interviews. They were also demanding for them to give Jiang Yuning a public apology.
After all, it was not that easy to dispel a rumor.
Firstly, Jiang Yuning went online and post all the physical evidence on the internet.
@JiangJianglovestheScenery: “In response to all the questions posed by the public: Is the couple really as poor as they make themselves out to be? The evidence is as followed...”
