My Wife Became a Top Star After I Came Back from Quick Transmigration - Chapter 91

The reporters in the room were uncharacteristically quiet. Everyone was looking at Su Qixi. She was still the same glamorous celebrity, dressed in a dazzling, vibrant outfit, with an elegant and extraordinary aura. Sitting behind the table, she didn’t lose her composure, didn’t yell, and didn’t even shed a single tear as she talked about her past. She spoke as if she was talking about someone else’s life, her tone light and her emotions incredibly stable.

Everyone had seen news reports about abusive fathers. The children in these news reports had mostly suffered severe and irreparable harm. Considering Su Qixi’s father, she must have survived in an extremely difficult environment. She didn’t give up in such adversity and became a successful actress. The hardships she faced were not something that could be easily explained or imagined by others.

Oh my god, Su Su, stop talking!

I can’t believe Su Yong was so inhumane!

I can’t believe Su Su went through all that!

Su Yong should die! That should be a crime!

He should be arrested and sentenced. Oh my god.

Xiong Jingjing reached out and grabbed Su Qixi’s hand, but Su Qixi just patted her hand to calm her down and continued. “My mother abandoned me and ran off with someone else. My father hated me because of it and saw me as an insult. While he was abusing me, he would often say, ‘Why isn’t she dead yet?’”

Yes, Su Qixi was a stain on his life. When Su Yong abused her, he really did want to take her life. That way, people couldn’t mock him with Su Qixi, and he wouldn’t be reminded of the woman who abandoned her husband and child every time he saw her. But she survived.

Su Qixi smiled. “Thank goodness for this day and age, where killing is a crime! So, he could only use that method to see if I would give up and die. My neighbors also thought the same, but seeing how pitiful I was, they would occasionally give me some food. So, I didn’t starve to death. After all, adults have some compassion. But children don’t. They are simple, and even their cruelty is simple.” They bully you because they don’t like you. They insult and hit you because they just want to bully you.

A reporter asked, “Ms. Su… ” Before he could finish, Su Qixi spoke up. “I was a victim of campus bullying.”

…

This is… too horrible, right?

Abused at home and bullied at school.

I’m tearing up. Oh my god.

I can’t listen anymore, this is too tragic!

I’m almost crying my eyes out. It must have been so difficult for little Su Qixi!

Xiong Jingjing closed her eyes. They had only investigated what happened to Su Qixi in her last year of high school. They didn’t go any further because Su Qixi didn’t want them to. At the time, with Su Yong’s appearance, they knew that Su Qixi’s past life must have been tough, but they didn’t know it was this bad.

At this moment, Xiong Jingjing realized that she and Yimei’er thought they understood Su Qixi, but they really didn’t know her as well as Lin Mo did. Su Qixi had never shown them everything.

Another reporter asked, “On behalf of Coconut Radio, I would like to express my sympathy. May I ask why you never spoke about this before?”

Su Qixi smiled. “Is this something to be proud of?” Is it something to be broadcasted to the world?

The reporter paused. “As a public figure, it would be a good thing for you to lead the fight against bullying.”

Su Qixi nodded. “It is a good thing. So what should I do?”

Reporter: “Huh?”

Su Qixi looked at the camera and said seriously, “Victims of bullying might never escape the pain of that time, even after many years. Even if the wounds scab over, they are still festering underneath. Once you peel off the scab, you will be in so much pain that you want to die. So… you see, you don’t even understand why victims don’t want to face the past. How can you understand how much a victim’s wound really hurts?”

The reporter was stunned. Su Qixi said with a soft laugh, “It is so difficult to make someone take off their armor in front of a crowd.”

Oh my god, I know! When Su Su was a victim of online abuse, she rested for half a year!

Oh my god! How did she get through that?

Oh my god, at that time, everyone was cursing her. She must have been so sad.

Honestly, it was so difficult back then, and she never spoke about these things.

She says it hurts so much to peel off the scab, but now she’s peeling off her own scab on camera. Oh my god.

She’s sitting here for Lin Mo, taking off her armor in front of a crowd. I’m going to cry my eyes out…

At this moment, the fans clearly felt how much Su Qixi was in pain and how much she loved Lin Mo.

Su Qixi: “I am sitting here today, peeling off my wounds one by one, not because I don’t feel the pain. It’s because I can’t just watch the person who pulled me out of the mud get tainted by it. He came back for me, he went on a show for me, and now he is being cursed by everyone online because of me. If I have any conscience left, I should stand here and clear his name.”

Oh my god, Su Su, you are so brave. We were too narrow-minded.

Looking at it this way, Lin Mo isn’t so bad, right?

Yeah! The video was cut. Who knows what the truth is?

Exactly!

Hey, hey, hey, have you guys forgotten about the audio recording?

The audio is just about borrowing money! Even Su Qixi doesn’t care about it, so it’s probably not a big deal.

… This is a bit much.

Putting aside what the truth is, the fact that he hit someone is real!

Su Qixi: “After briefly summarizing my school life, let’s go back to the question from the reporter: ‘Do you think Lin Mo being a bully is justified?’ As I just said, I was a child abandoned by her mother, abused by her father, and bullied by her classmates. So how could I think that bullying is justified? I was starving since I was a child, so I was very thin. I couldn’t fight back because I couldn’t win. I had no family to protect me, so I had no way to escape the bullying.”

“In my three years of middle school, I ate mud, had my head washed in toilet water, was forced to kneel on broken rocks for three hours, and was forced to take cold showers in the winter with no clothes on. As for beatings, it was a daily occurrence. I was constantly beaten at home, so the students’ hits didn’t hurt as much. I even felt lucky. Isn’t that ridiculous?”

“I also hated them. I wanted to tear them to pieces, but I hated myself more. I often asked myself, ‘Why am I still alive?’ I often wondered, ‘When will I be able to leave this world?’”

Su Qixi looked at the reporter again and said, “So, I will not speak up for bullies.”

In the silent room, Su Qixi’s voice was firm.

“But Lin Mo cannot be a bully.”

Su Qixi’s eyes looked through the camera, and her tone was resolute. “The person who saved me from the bullies was Lin Mo. If he was a bully, there’s no way he would have picked me up from the garbage and carried me home.”

Garbage?

“Bad genes attract each other. People with bad genes cannot be good people. They like to get together and talk about how to bully others. One person can’t think of all the bad things, so they come up with ideas as a group. They will put their evil thoughts into action. They will test the victim’s limits, and they like to work in groups. Bullies who work in groups can make themselves stronger and make their bad deeds seem more justified.”

“I am a victim, and I have more experience with bullies than you do. How could a person who saved someone who was about to commit suicide be a bully?!”

Suicide?

Su Qixi looked at the reporter. “This is my answer to your second question: ‘Do you support the idea that Lin Mo was a bully?’ Are you satisfied?”

The reporter nodded in a daze because at this moment, Su Qixi’s voice had changed, and she was clearly emotional. Her words were filled with so much pain and heartache that even the reporters, who were used to these things, were moved. The fans in the live stream also followed their idol’s emotions and believed her words.

But reporters are not so easily fooled. Even the ones in the front knew that a speech needed evidence. Emotional appeals were not convincing in the face of facts. A reporter stood up and asked, “Although Ms. Su’s guarantee is very convincing, let’s take yesterday’s trending topic as an example. He beat up half of the boys in the class, right? You should at least tell us why. You can’t just say one sentence and make the matter go away, right?”

Su Qixi: “Of course. No one knows the cause, process, and outcome of this matter better than I do. Because in this matter, I am the one involved.”

“Huh?” Everyone was stunned and looked at Su Qixi. They clearly didn’t believe her. Xiong Jingjing also looked at Su Qixi. The past that Su Qixi always spoke about was this explosive?

Oh my god! What does that mean?

What did Su Su go through in the years before I knew her?

Oh my god, it sounds like Lin Mo protected her.

Su Qixi: “Don’t believe me? Just go to our high school and ask anyone. Everyone knows. Do you know why the people you interviewed only talked about how this matter affected their lives afterward? Do you know why they didn’t talk about what happened, so you had to ask me about it at this press conference?”

She gave a cold laugh. “It’s because this matter has already been ruled on by a court. So they can’t pin the blame on anyone else. In my first year of high school, I was very thin and small. They isolated me and wanted to bully me. The Mr. Lin you interviewed yesterday, who was a good student in my class, led a few boys to try and assault me. Lin Mo kicked open the door to my classroom and got revenge for me. The other party’s 20-plus families hired a famous lawyer, swearing to send Lin Mo to prison. But they lost. Why? Because the evidence was conclusive. Unbelievable? Do you want to see the evidence? Do you want to see the surveillance footage of me almost being assaulted? I have it, and I can show you.”

She said it so calmly, but it was so heartbreaking.

Xiong Jingjing held her and said into the microphone, “I will not show the surveillance footage. Why should a victim have to be hurt a second time? Don’t believe me? The people who were interviewed on yesterday’s trending topic, if you have a problem, come and confront us. Qixi Studio is right here. We can confront you at any time.”

The whole room was silent. No one argued.

Oh my god, Lin Mo, thank you.

Looking at it this way, Lin Mo is really a good person.

He kicked open the classroom door for Su Qixi. He saved Su Su.

Su Su is repaying him. I’m so touched by their mutual love.

In this press conference, Su Qixi successfully cleared a large part of Lin Mo’s name. However, one reporter was still struggling. “Even so, you weren’t involved in his middle school scandal, right? The video clearly shows him hitting someone and breaking his arm. That can’t be fake, right?”

Su Qixi wiped away her tears and turned to the camera. She nodded firmly. “Yes. So, since I vouched for his character here, I will investigate this truth and announce it myself.”

Reporter: “???”

Xiong Jingjing: “???” What is this person going to do now?

???

Su Su, what are you going to do?

Whatever you do, Soda Water will support you.

Su Qixi picked up the microphone on the table and said, “Starting today, my social media account will be live-streaming 24 hours a day as I investigate Lin Mo’s past. I will personally go to his middle school and the place where he grew up to uncover the truth about these things. Why did he hit people? Why didn’t he like his parents?”

“If he is a bad person, I will atone with him. If he was forced to do what he did, I hope you will all apologize to him and clear his name. By the way, the gentleman on my left is my studio’s lawyer, Mr. Bai Yang. I hope you will all delete the videos until the truth is confirmed. Otherwise, I may hold you all responsible for spreading rumors and defamation. Thank you!”

Su Qixi took a step back and bowed. Then she got up and prepared to leave. The other reporters immediately stood up and asked, “What about Lin Mo? Is he not coming with you?”

Su Qixi: “I don’t need to tell you about his whereabouts. I apologize.”

Su Qixi left, just as quickly as she came. But her live stream was still on. She really was going to do what she said. The next morning, she booked a flight to Dingma County, Lin Mo’s hometown.
