After Going Viral on a Dating Show, I'm Pampered by All

Chapter 33: Chapter 33: The evidence is all here, a lawsuit has been filed, no private settlement will be accepted

In the room @@novelbin@@

Sang Qiao lay down on the bed after washing up, but then she suddenly sat up, looking around the room and falling into deep thought. She couldn't possibly make herself sleep on a chair, could she?

Just as she was still pondering how to go to sleep, the room door was abruptly pulled open, and Si Chenli strode in, found some clothes in the cabinet, and went to the bathroom to wash up.

When he came out after washing, Sang Qiao and he stared at each other, hesitant about whether or not to speak.

"Got something to say?" Si Chenli still had a towel in his hand with which he was wiping his wet hair, his movements quick and forceful. His white shirt occasionally rode up, exposing his taut abs.

"Um... tonight..." Before Sang Qiao could finish speaking, someone suddenly knocked on the door.

She had to stand up and go to open it.

Meanwhile, the man stopped drying his hair and his gaze settled on the bed, lost in thought.

The director's voice came from outside, "Mr. Si, it's still early for Sang Qiao, the two of you can watch the live broadcast for a while. There's a button on the table, just press it and the camera will start and automatically connect to the live room."

"What content should be broadcasted?" Sang Qiao felt a headache coming on, she had thought she had nothing to do tonight and was planning to beat a level in Candy Crush.

"No requirements, just chat with the fans or something."

"Okay." Sang Qiao nodded, indicating she understood, and then she closed the door.

She sat at the table, fiddling with the button and computer. Soon she was connected to the camera, and from the screen, she could see her own face.

She moved the computer and frowned, "Is this how it's done?"

[It worked! Sister Qiao, look at me!]

[Sister Qiao, was it you or Brother Li who killed the chicken today?]

[Brother Li with his wet hair looks so elegantly disheveled, but why is his shirt dry? I'm so disappointed!]

[Sis, you still have the mood to live stream, aren't you going to explain the Weibo matter? Is it you who's slandering or the Sang Emperor? He also posted that if you twist the facts, he'll sue you.]

[Sang Qiao is really disgusting, after failing to seduce the Sang Emperor, she even drags her sister down with her, so cheap!]

Sang Qiao saw the barrage of comments non-stop, but most of them were asking about Brother Sang Shen accusing her of distorting the facts.

"Hold on, let me check Weibo." She stood up and went to the bed to grab her phone and opened Weibo to take a look.

Sang Shen v: [ @Sang Qiao, it was clearly you who came to my hotel in the middle of the night, followed by sasaeng fans, and nearly caused a big mistake. I didn't pursue it, but now you've forged a fake receipt, fabricating right and wrong to frame my sister. ]

Starlight Entertainment v, reposting Sang Shen's v: [ Our side retains evidence, if artist Sang Qiao does not apologize, we will investigate to the end. ]

And the comments below were polarized; a part of them were Sang Shen's fans, believing him unconditionally.

Others were bystanders, with a confused stance, both sides demanding the other to apologize, or else they would pursue lawsuits, leaving them unable to distinguish who was at fault at the moment.

Starlight Entertainment

Sang Nanfeng slammed the contract on the ground, "Sang Shen is acting foolishly, and you all are confused as well? Such a big matter and you didn't consult me, just directly speaking with the official V?"

"Big brother, I forced them to post it, Sang Qiao is pushing her luck. We've already backed down so much yet she still wants to sue us, and even forced Jiaojiao to move out."

Sang Shen silently bore his older brother's fury. When he heard Jiaojiao crying and telling him that Sang Qiao wished them death and even let Mr. Si threaten Jiaojiao to leave the Sang Family, he couldn't contain his anger.

Sang Qiao really thought she had no choice but to win the battle on Weibo?

He especially wanted Sang Qiao to see whether she could win or not depended on whether they chose to take this lawsuit to court!

"Sang Shen, you're usually so calm, how come you become so muddled as soon as this matter comes up? The company's legal team, no matter how powerful, can't help you win a lawsuit that slanders another person!"

"But Sang Qiao has no evidence, and the hotel surveillance—I've cleaned it up a long time ago."

"What about those hotel staff members? Are you sure they'll also keep their mouths shut?"

"Of course." Sang Shen was full of confidence; he had handled everything very cleanly back then.

After all, Jiaojiao had just been rescued from the kidnappers at that time, her body was weak and needed rest, and he couldn't bear to let her endure the curses from the netizens.

He was even more worried that an obsessive fan might find out where Jiaojiao was in reality and harm her.

Thinking back to that time, when Sang Qiao left them behind and ran away alone, he was utterly disappointed.

His own sister abandoned him when his life was in danger! If it wasn't for Jiaojiao, he probably would have died at the kidnappers' hands.

"After this is settled, just focus on filming, Grandpa Li has made several calls."

"I know." Sang Shen subconsciously looked at the live broadcast in his hand, where Jiaojiao was chatting softly and gently with fans— even at this time, she was still speaking up for Qiaoqiao.

"I don't know why Qiaoqiao wants to push these groundless accusations onto me, but it's okay, as long as she's willing to repent, I can forgive her."

"It's fine if she doesn't want to apologize to me, as long as she apologizes to Brother Shen, otherwise Brother Shen probably won't withdraw the lawsuit."

"It doesn't matter to me, actually Qiaoqiao and I knew each other well before the variety show, and we had a good relationship. But I don't know why she has changed like this now."

Sang Jiao's live broadcast of kind words led to a portion of the netizens becoming even more furious with Sang Qiao for her unrepentant mistakes.

They all swarmed into Sang Qiao's live broadcast room to bitterly scold her.

[Do you have any conscience at all? Jiaojiao is such a kind-hearted person and you still want to smear her, she's even speaking up for you next door!]

[Just apologize and it'll all be over, won't it? Why do you insist on being stubborn? The figure that day in the hotel was clearly you! You've worn those clothes before during a shoot, and it's spread all over the internet.]

[Have you been staring at Weibo for so long you're scared mute? What does this silence mean?]

Sang Qiao glanced at the barrage, "If you think she's kind-hearted, then go live with her; don't slander me here, or I'll sue you."

While she retorted, she pulled out the evidence that she had saved and edited in a folder and uploaded it.

Sang Qiao V: [The evidence is right here, my lawyer @aaa will handle everything from now on, no private settlements accepted.]

Due to the popularity of the live broadcast, everyone was paying attention to Sang Qiao's Weibo, so as soon as she posted it, the comments section exploded.

[Is this the @aaa I know? The lawyer known as 'invincible'? He's back in the country?]

[Help, I've checked for you it's the invincible one, he's verified!]

[I've just finished looking at the evidence Sang Qiao posted, I can't believe the person I've been a fan of for six years is like this? To protect her own sister, she doesn't hesitate to push someone else out to take the fall?]

[Sang Qiao is really pitiful, in the hospital undergoing surgery, yet facing such wrongful accusations. And she silently accepted it for so long without clarification—Sang Emperor, on the other hand, brings up this matter again, it's truly disgusting.]

[I don't believe it, Brother Sang Shen must have his reasons, Sang Qiao didn't clarify before and is only clarifying now, which indicates she has issues too!]
