Ouyang Qian tightened her embrace around her daughter’s shoulders: "Sister Wen won’t be your agent anymore, Mom will find you a better one. If Sister Wen were reliable, today’s incident wouldn’t have happened."
Just after she spoke, Lai Shengxia came downstairs with her cellphone in hand.
She had just asked a friend in the fashion circle to help and called the CEO of IMG. The person spoke politely, but did not agree to her phrase "harmony brings wealth."
When she brought up the issue of the recording being edited, the person did not respond directly, instead saying: "Miss Lai, if you doubt the authenticity of the audio, bring your sister, and I’ll bring Tang Li, and tomorrow we’ll go get a voiceprint analysis."
If IMG refuses to compromise, the situation will only worsen.
Yuanyuan’s acting career may really have to stop here.
For the first time, Lai Shengxia realized that she was helpless against this kind of internet public opinion.
It was like a perfectly made iron barrel, without any tiny crack to sneak through, and all this was actually instigated by the Lai family’s illegitimate daughter she had never considered important.
She had Sister Wen record the VCR, which seemed to fit right into the other party’s plan.
Tang Li recorded the audio, which means she never planned to let Yuanyuan off from the start, like a wolf lurking in darkness, waiting for the right moment to deliver a fatal blow.
"She wants to ruin Yuanyuan, might as well go down together." Seeing her younger daughter’s haggard face, Ouyang Qian couldn’t care less that Lai Wenyan was present: "Her mother didn’t die of AIDS for nothing. I will leak to the reporters that she carries the HIV virus, and I don’t believe anyone in the entertainment industry will dare approach her!"
Mentioning Tang Yin, Lai Wenyan’s eyes darkened: "We are discussing Yuanyuan’s matter. What are you talking about with no evidence? Don’t say this again in the future!"
"What do you mean no evidence."
Thinking of her own daughter being harmed by her husband and his other woman’s illegitimate daughter, Ouyang Qian couldn’t stay calm, her long suppressed emotions erupting: "Her grandfather was a drug trafficker, her mother died from AIDS, how could she be any better.
Since she moved into our house, every day I’ve been cautious, afraid our whole family might catch some dreadful disease. In terms of food and clothing, I think I’ve never treated her poorly. Anything Yuanyuan had, she had too. But what has she done to our family?
Now she’s harming my child , might as well break it off!"
Before Ouyang Qian finished talking, the vase on the TV cabinet was knocked to the ground by Lai Wenyan.
Suddenly, the living room fell into dead silence.
Lai Shengxia held back Ouyang Qian, preventing her mother and father from arguing, then turned to Lai Wenyan and said: "Mom is just speaking in anger. How Mom treats you, how she treats this family, you know very well."
Despite such words, Lai Wenyan’s expression did not improve: "You broadcasting a single thing about Tang Li can lead others to find more! In the end, it’s the whole Lai Family that’ll be troubled! Think before you speak and act! You’re adults, don’t act increasingly childish!"
After speaking, Lai Wenyan stormed out.
Leaving the house, he went to a club he occasionally visited.
Lai Wenyan sat in the dimly lit private room. Upon receiving the notification, the manager hurried over: "Councilman Lai, the usual?"
Seeing Lai Wenyan didn’t request anything else, the manager took the initiative: "We’ve just received a batch of fresh goods, many untouched, if the Councilman is interested, shall I pick one for you?"
Hearing this, Lai Wenyan’s irritable mood eased slightly: "Do you still have women here?"
"What the Councilman said, many young girls are lining up."
"Then pick a pretty one for me."
