If she hadn't listened to Li Qiang's nonsense, she wouldn't have ended up like this now.
"I should have stopped you if I had known about it. Now you are trying to commit suicide and you are causing trouble for me and my daughter. Everyone knows that it was our family that brought dirty water to Shang Yi. How do you want your daughter to behave in the future?"
The more Qian Lili talked about it, the more she regretted it, and in the end she covered her face and cried bitterly.
"I was really blind before I married you. Apart from playing cards and asking me for money, have you ever done anything for this family?"
"The thing that I, Qian Lili, regret most in my life is marrying you. If I could choose again, I would rather die alone all my life than be with you, let alone let my daughter suffer the same fate!"
The little girl stood beside Qian Lili at a loss. She could only pat her shoulder to comfort her: "Mom, please stop crying..."
Listening to her daughter's comfort, Qian Lili burst into tears.
She was crying, and suddenly she looked at Li Qiang with her eyes widened as if she had realized something, and her voice raised an octave: "Li Qiang, tell me the truth. What the reporter said is not true, is it?"
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Li Qiang almost lost his temper when he heard Qian Lili's question.
"It doesn't matter if other people throw dirty water on me, even you don't believe me? Momo is our biological daughter. Although I sometimes have a bad temper and have taught her a lesson, I only hit her twice and scolded her a few times.
, how could he do something so inferior to an animal? Those are all frame-ups!"
However, the suspicion in Qian Lili's eyes did not dissipate.
"Hmph! How can I be sure that you have lied to me? You can even do such shameless things as falsely accusing the benefactor who funded our daughter's education. I should have known a long time ago that you have no bottom line at all!"
"You bitch!"
"Didn't you agree with what I did when you heard that you could get the money? Now that something happened, you put all the responsibility on me, do you still have any conscience?"
"You have the nerve to ask me if I have a conscience? If I really had no conscience, I would have run away with my daughter a long time ago. Who would be suffering here with you..."
However, Qian Lili seemed not to hear his words, she just beat her chest and cried, her shrill voice making Li Qiang dizzy.
"Dingling bell..."
Just when Li Qiang wanted to go to the balcony to smoke a cigarette and get some fresh air, his cell phone on the sofa suddenly rang.
Originally, he had not answered the phone in the past few days, but now he was so angry that he had no way to vent his anger. He ran to the sofa, grabbed his phone, and pressed the answer button. He couldn't help but cursed.
"I was framed by those beasts! Stop harassing me! I'm warning you, if you dare to fight me again, I will kill you@#~/..."
Just when Li Qiang was cursing the other party with all kinds of vicious and curse words, a calm voice suddenly came from the receiver of the mobile phone:
"Mr. Li, don't worry, I have a way to help you get out of your current situation."
Li Qiang was stunned for a moment, and then asked nervously: "What can you do? Who are you? Why do you want to help me?"
If someone had come to him a few days ago and offered to help him, he would have gladly accepted it, but now those reporters and media are eager to add insult to injury and dig out some dirt to make a big fuss about it, so how could they be kind enough to help him?
"You don't have to know who I am, you just need to know that I can help you get out of trouble so that those reporters will never bother you and your family again."
"Really?" Li Qiang's tone was doubtful.
"You are valuable to them now. Of course they will keep a close eye on you and want to dig out more breaking news from you."
The young man on the other end of the phone smiled faintly, and then continued: "As long as you withdraw the case to the court immediately, tell everyone the truth, and admit that you framed Shang Yi for profit, when the truth of this matter comes out, you will not be able to survive the heat.
It will go down in a few days, and the media won’t get anything more valuable from you, so naturally they won’t bother you anymore.”
When Li Qiang heard this, he shouted angrily: "What kind of bullshit are you trying to do? If you ask me to take the initiative to admit that I framed Shang Yiran, isn't this pushing me to a dead end? You are from Shang Yiran's agency, right?"
If he now admits that he framed Shang Yi, not only will he not get any benefits, but his crime will be increased.
Unless he is out of his mind, he will take the initiative to give away the clues.
"Li Qiang, you are not naive enough to think that you can still get hush money from Shang Yiran after that day's press conference, right?"
"Before, Tianfeng Entertainment really wanted to use money to settle the matter with you privately. That was because they didn't want to damage the company's reputation, so they didn't want to go through formal procedures and engage in long-term trouble with you."
"But today is different from the past. Public opinion no longer believes what you say, and they believe that you are falsely accusing Shang Yi and pouring dirty water on him. Naturally, Tianfeng Entertainment does not need to spend money to rectify the disaster, but you have no need at all.
If there is strong evidence to identify the dealer, even if it goes to court, the case will be lost.”
"Before, you could still use the advantage of public opinion to put pressure on Shang Yiran and Tianfeng Entertainment, but now this only advantage is gone. Do you think you can still get the money?"
"Since you can't get any money no matter what you do, it's better to confess now, apologize to the media and the public, and end it as quickly as possible."
"The popularity of any news is limited. Within a week, the reporters and paparazzi surrounding you will be attracted to other hot spots and will no longer chase you."
"But if you remain stubborn and refuse to withdraw the lawsuit, those reporters will try to dig out more gossip about you, and your whole family will not be able to live in peace."
Li Qiang fell silent upon hearing this.
After a moment, he hung up the phone with a sullen face.
The young man's words put him in a dilemma.
If he withdraws the lawsuit now, he will be wasting water in a bamboo basket.
But as the young man said, neither Shang Yiran nor Tianfeng Entertainment can give him hush money anymore.
If he doesn't withdraw the lawsuit, those reporters will keep pestering him, and no matter where he goes, someone will point fingers at him.
The harassment of reporters by reporters these past few days has made Li Qiang exhausted.
If it goes on for any longer, he will go crazy.
Although Li Qiang didn't know the identity of this strange young man or his purpose, he was certain that what he said was correct.
The reason why he was so sure that he could get the money a few days ago was because public opinion regarded him as a victim. Netizens who did not know the truth also spontaneously criticized him on his behalf.
But since the press conference, his reputation has plummeted, and no one believes in him anymore.
"Grass!"
Li Qiang angrily kicked the trash can next to him, grabbed his hair and sat down on the sofa, "I just want some money, is this too much?"
"Why do you have to force me one by one!"
Li Qiang couldn't figure out why his seamless plan turned out like this.
The media slandered him as a pervert who threatened his biological daughter, and even his wife wanted to run away from home with her daughter.
But the reason why he framed Shang Yi was because of this family!
Isolated and helpless, Li Qiang gradually collapsed emotionally. Now he finally understood Shang Yiran's situation and mood a few days ago.
But Shang Yi still has an agent who supports and believes in him, but now Li Qiang has become a street rat, and everyone calls for beating him.
Three days later.
Not only did the scolding about Li Qiang on the Internet not stop, but more and more netizens denounced him.
Some netizens even doxed Li Qiang’s home address and sent him razor blades, dead rats and other express items.
In the end, Li Qiang could not withstand the pressure and issued a statement on his Weibo, expressing his willingness to hold a new press conference.
