Her expression was solemn and sorrowful, and every step she took was unusually heavy.
All the guests were shocked, and the media kept pressing the shutter button.
Zhou Tingyang saw Xiao Qinke like this and ran down the stage. He walked in front of Xiao Qinke and grabbed her arm. “Ke’er, are you joking? Why are you dressed like this? Also, what’s the meaning of these?”
Xiao Qinke broke free from Zhou Tingyang’s grip. Then, she looked at him and asked in an extremely cold tone, “You instigated your roommate to sell me fake weight-loss pills. Was it you?”
“I…” Zhou Tingyang had no way to defend himself.
“The video is clear enough. I saw it.” After saying that, Xiao Qinke continued to walk towards the ceremonial stage. In front of everyone, she walked to the highest place and revealed the complete photo of her parents.
The emcee was obviously shocked. He did not expect the bride-to-be’s surprise to be so unconventional. He could only stand at the side, not knowing what to do.
Zhou Tingyang hurriedly chased after her and explained, “Ke’er, that was all a misunderstanding. I was young back then. Those were all jokes.”
“Joke? However, the hurt I suffered was extremely real. You despised me for being fat, so you made people ostracize me and humiliate me. You made me eat the diet pills your roommate sold me and almost died of kidney failure.” “I… I didn’t know it would be like this.”
“Do you know who the two people who died in the car accident in the video just now were? They’re my parents!” Xiao Qinke pointed at the photo in her arms and said, “Because I ate the weight-loss pills your roommate sold, I was hospitalized. They were worried that something would happen to me, so they rushed from A City to Jinchuan overnight. However, they were met with a car accident on the way and died on the spot. They died without a complete corpse!”
After hearing Xiao Qinke’s words, everyone recalled the scene of the car accident that was full of debris. They only felt that it was shocking and tragic. Therefore, the entire audience was in an uproar because Zhou Tingyang had indirectly killed someone! You caused her family to be destroyed!
“My home is gone, my parents are dead, all because you hate fat people, all because of a joke you set up! What are you going to use to pay for my parents’ lives?”
As Xiao Qinke spoke, she slapped Zhou Tingyang hard.
Zhou Tingyang could not refute this because the evidence was too overwhelming. Everyone had seen the bet he had set up, and Xiao Qinke had come prepared.
“Xiao Qinke, are you crazy? Just because of his joke, you want to blame him for everything that happened to your parents?” At this moment, Mother Zhou stood up from her seat and rushed to the stage. “Who doesn’t curse the person they hate every day to get hit by a car?”
As expected, even in such a situation, even if there was irrefutable evidence, Mother Zhou could still argue irrationally and shirk responsibility.
“Without his joke, without his gambling, without his instigation, none of this would have happened.”
“Is he the one who sold you the medicine? Was he the one who forced you to take the medicine? Was he the one who killed your parents? If it wasn’t him, why should he be responsible for your parents’ lives?”
Hearing this, all the guests felt that they could not continue listening. This was because this matter was very clear. However, some people just wanted to stay away from the main point and try to divert the attention of others to shirk the responsibility of Zhou Tingyang.
Even Ye Zhenzhen who was on the second floor could not hold it in anymore.
At this moment, a guest below the stage threw a glass of water at Mother Zhou. “In order to shirk responsibility, her parents have already passed away, and you still want to use it to humiliate them. You are really inhumane.”
“Exactly. That heartless mother and son are really incorrigible. How can there be such a despicable person? They killed her parents and caused her family to be destroyed yet they are still trying to deny it? Is there still justice?”
“Zhou Tingyang, are you still a man? Do you want to hide behind your Mom’s back forever and be a good-for-nothing? Have you ever thought that while you were enjoying, someone else lost their parents because of a joke? Those are two lives…”
Faced with Xiao Qinke’s constant pressure, Mother Zhou protected Zhou Tingyang even more tightly.
“Stop trying to scare people. If you really think that my son needs to be held responsible, you should call the police. We’ll accept the police’s investigation.”
“I…” Xiao Qinke’s eyes were filled with tears. She was not as shameless as Mother Zhou.
At this moment, Lin Wanli, who had been watching the show upstairs, spoke.
“I’ll grant you your wish.”
Everyone raised their heads and looked at Lin Wanli and Ye Zhenzhen. They did not expect a mastermind behind this. No wonder…
The waiter immediately went to clean the steps, and Lin Wanli and Ye Zhenzhen also went to the stage.
“Lin Wanli, what does this have to do with you? Don’t spread nonsense here!”
“Call the police. Since you’re going to call the police, it’s not just about your son’s problems. You can also bring up the old scores of your family, right? If you protect your son, I’ll wipe out your entire family. There are some interesting things about tax issues, break-ins, and robberies, right?” Lin Wanli’s lips slowly curled up.
“You…You’re spouting nonsense… Be careful, or I’ll sue you for slander!”
“Do you know what happens to people who act tough in front of me?” Lin Wanli held Mother Zhou down firmly with an absolute aura. “I have plenty of money to waste with you, but I have to remind you that your family might not be able to afford it.’
After hearing this, Mother Zhou glanced at the audience guiltily.
Because she knew that Lin Wanli was not joking. She meant what she said.
However, on one side was her son and her family was on the other. She was in a dilemma.
“Zhou Tingyang, I’ve never liked you since I was young. Do you know why?
Because every time something happens, you always have to stand behind your
Mom. You don’t even dare to face a woman. It’s quite boring.”
“I didn’t want to show up, but I really underestimated your Mom’s shamelessness, so I couldn’t hold back. Evil should deal with evil people, so I will be the evil person. Also, Xiao Qinke has cancer. What kind of responsibility do you think you should take for this matter?”
Hearing the word cancer, the guests at the venue once again looked at Xiao Qinke with sympathy and pity. Xiao Qinke’s tears fell like rain.
“Forget it, you don’t have to take responsibility. To be honest, I’m a little angry today. I plan to book a sewer package with Master Xiao and send your Mom to experience it. Don’t worry, I’ll take responsibility if it’s broken. I have money to pay for it. As for your Mom’s family, I advise them to run away. I’m a little black-hearted and don’t plan to let any of them off…”
This time, Zhou Tingyang finally protected Mother Zhou behind him.
Because he had knelt in front of Huo Jiuxiao before, he knew how terrifying Huo Jiuxiao was.
“If there’s anything, just take it out on me. Don’t make things difficult for my
Mom.”
“Finally, you are standing up for yourself..”
