"Hello, everyone, and welcome to this special episode focusing on recent social hot topics. I'm your host, Su Mu."
The spotlight illuminated Su Mu's face as he flashed a standard professional smile.
"Without further ado, let's welcome our guests. Joining us today are Yue Qingqing, her grandmother, and her mother."
Accompanied by music, the three members of the Yue Family took the stage.
The number of viewers watching from home increased steadily.
Once again, they were stunned by Yue Qingqing's beauty up close.
"Oh, the young lady is really beautiful," sighed the elder generation in front of their TVs. "But how can she not recognize her biological family?"
"Well, she might have her reasons. It's just starting; let's watch first," suggested the younger generation with a different opinion.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Su Mu quickly got to the point.
"As everyone is aware, rumors have been swirling recently. Because this matter started gaining attention online, we've selected perspectives and questions from the three most visited forums for discussion. We hope you'll answer them truthfully."
Lin Chunju nodded, "Sure, go ahead and ask."
The large screen behind Su Mu displayed the first question.
"This incident has been public knowledge for a full month now. Many are eager to know why the Yue Family hasn't clarified the matter until now. Is it because there's something to hide?"
The question was undeniably sharp.
Many people believed that the Yue Family's delayed response was due to an inability to respond, indicating that everything might be true.
Thus, the Yue Family needed time to craft a suitable explanation.
Only now were they willing to appear on the program.
As Lin Chunju was about to speak, Zhang Ying interjected.
"Has anyone here heard about the ancient case of contested parentage? A wealthy merchant died, leaving a child to inherit the fortune, and two women claimed to be the child's mother, creating endless disputes that reached the Official Government."
"The county magistrate made a ruling, having both women each pull one of the child's arms. The woman who first managed to pull the child to her side would be judged the mother."
Zhang Ying's voice echoed clearly in the studio, and the story captivated the audience, even those already familiar with the conclusion.
"The child, violently pulled, burst into tears. One woman pulled with all her might, while the other unconsciously let go. When the magistrate asked the woman why she let go, she replied that the child was in pain, and she couldn't bear to pull any further. Thus, the magistrate knew she was the true mother."
"Only a mother would feel for her child and not bear to see them hurt."
Zhang Ying looked directly into the camera, as if trying to confront the woman who claimed to be the mother.
"I didn't respond because I was worried about Qingqing getting hurt, afraid of her being hounded by reporters every time she went out. I love my daughter, so why do you resort to such despicable means, forcing Qingqing to reopen old wounds and expose all her private matters to the media?"
"Do people like you really deserve to be called a mother?"
As Zhang Ying spoke, the viewers fell silent.
Su Mu couldn't help but silently applaud Zhang Ying.
No one expected Zhang Ying to deliver such a compelling speech.
It was a blatant refutation of Zhuang Rouhui.
Just shy of outright accusing her of putting on a show on the program, leading to widespread criticism of Yue Qingqing.
Would someone who truly loved their child really do such a thing?
With such an impressive and striking opening, the audience's stance subtly shifted towards the Yue Family for the upcoming questions.
The first hurdle was crossed with ease, and Su Mu moved on to the next segment.
"During the preparation of this program, a doctor reached out to us voluntarily." Su Mu looked at Zhang Ying with a hint of sympathy in his eyes. "She claims to be the outpatient doctor you encountered when you sought medical attention back then, and she's willing to testify that Yue Qingqing was not lost but was in fact stolen by you."
