Chapter 700: Chapter 700: So, Are You Saying I’m Vicious?
Ouyang Qian held her emotionally distraught elder daughter, continuously comforting her: "The injury on the face is temporary. With the advanced medical technology nowadays, we can have surgery soon and it will definitely cure you!"
"My face." Lai Shengxia wanted to touch her right cheek but dared not.
The pain was getting more intense.
Her pride was collapsing at this moment.
She was the Miss of the Lai Family, a famous lady in this circle, but now, her face was ruined...
Just then, Lai Wenyan entered the hospital room.
His face looked extremely unpleasant, dark as if it could squeeze out a few drops of ink, seemingly oblivious to Lai Shengxia as he threw the stack of papers he was holding onto the hospital bed: "Look at the great job you’ve done!"
Ouyang Qian picked up an A4 paper, and her expression changed drastically after seeing the content.
The papers described how Lai Shengxia sought revenge for her sister, how she collaborated with foreign scammers to kidnap female actresses, especially the choice of words, which was terrifying upon reflection.
"Let alone the reporters outside, everyone in the hospital has a copy!"
A vein bulged on Lai Wenyan’s forehead. If he hadn’t gone out to call Tang Li, he wouldn’t have seen other patients holding this kind of "leaflet," nor would he have known that the issue with Lai Shengxia had escalated!
Upon learning that someone was distributing flyers at the hospital entrance, he asked Jiang Yuan to quickly bring bodyguards downstairs to catch the person.
He just wanted to know who exactly was behind all this mess!
But they didn’t catch the person; they only brought back a stack of flyers.
Unable to find the troublemaker, Lai Wenyan vented his frustration on Lai Shengxia: "You even knew to find someone to impersonate a foreign businessman and deceive! Now you’ve trafficked your sister, is it going to be my turn someday, as a father?!"
"Wenyan." Ouyang Qian caught her husband’s arm: "Xiaxia is hurt, we can talk about everything else once she’s feeling better... Ah!"
Lai Wenyan pulled her aside forcefully: "It’s because you indulge her that she acts so recklessly!"
Ouyang Qian, unprepared, stumbled and hit the bedside table.
"Mom!" Lai Yuaner was startled.
Lai Wenyan, thinking about how he was made a fool and how he even bailed the scammer out of detention, and even considered inviting him home for dinner, felt his anger surge, pointing at Ouyang Qian: "You mother and daughter repeatedly ignore my words, it seems like you don’t take me, the husband and father, seriously at all!"
"No, Wenyan please listen to my explanation... Ah!"
Lai Yuaner stood by the bed, watching her mother being dragged into the bathroom by Lai Wenyan, her face pale as paper, like a rudderless ship, not daring to approach, listening from behind the door to her mother’s pleas, tormented inside.
That afternoon, Tianyi Group issued a solemn statement.
—Strongly condemning the false statements online.
They appended a lawyer’s letter from the most prestigious law firm in the country.
If anyone else spreads rumors or slanders Miss Sheng Xia’s reputation, Tianyi Group and Miss Sheng Xia herself will pursue it to the end!
Even though Tianyi Group intervened to delete the original post on the forums and asked the public relations team to clean up related remarks on V-Bo, those in the know were already aware, and the negative impact could not be undone.
In the evening, Tang Li received a call from an unknown number.
Han Jifeng’s voice came through the phone: "Was it you who got that foreigner to take action?"
"If I say no, would you believe me?"
Tang Li asked calmly.
After a few seconds of silence on the other end, Han Jifeng spoke again: "You’re not that kind of person, you shouldn’t have lost your nature over past events."
"So, are you trying to say I’m malicious?"
