TRANSMIGRATED TO THE 80S TO BECOME STEPMOTHERS FOR FIVE HIGHER-UPS
Chapter 319 - Trying to Force Someone By Using Public Opinion
After watching the movie, Ji Buwang heaved a sigh of relief. Although he was quite scared, he wanted to watch it again.
When they came out of the cinema, Ji Buwang gave Xiao Wu a thumbs up. "Xiao Wu, you are amazing."
Xiao Wu was a little embarrassed. "It's okay."
She did not expect the music she created while hiding in fear of being praised. For him, it was good enough that it could be used.
However, in reality, Xiao Wu had underestimated himself. When the movie was playing, many people watched it. In addition to those who discuss spooky plots, most people also talk about soundtracks.
“When the music started playing, I got goosebumps. That's scary.”
"That's fine. I initially thought that no matter how talented he was, he would not be able to make such a scary song at such a young age. I seem too stupid. It's really scary.”
"This film is not bad to start with, but this soundtrack makes the effect even better."
A good film and television drama is the result of various complementary aspects. Xiao Wu's song did not obstruct the film and even added a lot of colors to it.
A lot of people who have seen the movie praise him. As for some of the film critics and musicians who specifically went to listen to music, they called Xiao Wu a genius. When interviewed at an event, a musician said frankly, “I originally thought that the title 'little genius' was exaggerated. Now, I see that this is a young genius. It was unexpected.”
The success of 'A Ghost in the Night' highlighted Xiao Wu being mentioned repeatedly. Many programs and film productions come looking for her, wanting to work with her or show her on TV.
However, Xiao Wu did not want to appear on TV. He does not enjoy performing on TV but works for the right movie production.
Shao Nan had been alone in Mingchang County all this time. Although Li Zhaodi and Mu Teng were watching him, he still had to return when he had to. When Shao Qihai was about to bring Xiao Wu and Shao Xi back, perhaps because of Xiao Wu's reputation, Shao Qiyun, who they thought had given up on having not met him for a long time, moved again.
Knowing that Old Master Ji and the Ji Family were not easy to deal with, Shao Qiyun did not dare to target them this time around. His main target was Xiao Wu.
He did not look for it directly. Instead, he sought out a reporter to uncover the truth about Xiao Wu as his biological son and accused him of not acknowledging or caring for him.
“I didn't raise her or take care of her after she was born, but I risked my life to give birth to her. I almost died and I can't even go to school anymore because of him. My fate has changed because of that. Now that she turned out to be promising, she only acknowledged her rich foster mother, Mu Jingzhe, and she hated me because I had no money. My life is very difficult.”
Shao Qiyun was tormented by Old Master Ji's words until he could not sleep day and night. Every day, she regrets losing a million yuan and marrying into a wealthy family. He hated himself for making the wrong choice back then.
They had not seen him for a short time, but Shao Qiyun had changed drastically. It was as if he had been tortured and thinly dried. She is quite good at acting and she cries sadly in front of the camera.
The rich and the poor sometimes seem at odds with each other. Some people even hate the rich. Shao Qiyun had obviously done something wrong, but she focused on her rich adoptive mother and her own lack of money. He even claimed that Xiao Wu would not admit it because he was poor.
Even a dog does not mind having a poor family. It is wrong for a boy to look down on a mother who has no money. Shao Qiyun's words attracted everyone's attention.
After crying for a while, Shao Qiyun stopped criticizing Xiao Wu. He cried and said that he had let Xiao Wu down. If he had the money then, he would be able to support him. Bla bla bla. One could only wonder how much ginger was stained in his handkerchief. She cried like a pear flower bathed in rain, perfectly depicting a pitiful person.
In the past, one only knew that, other than the eldest, the five brothers were all very impressive and Mu Jingzhe was a good stepmother. No one knew that Xiao Wu did not have the same mother as Little Bei and the others.
Now that someone had suddenly jumped out and claimed to be Xiao Wu's biological mother, and there was also a big secret behind it, everyone immediately started discussing this.
Mu Jingzhe and the others had also seen the news. The neighbors would see Mu Jingzhe and the children again now. Looking at the newspaper on the table, he said, "We have to respond quickly."
It was a little surprising that Shao Qiyun had done all of this, but it was not entirely unexpected.
However, he did not think he was so smart. Not only did he twist the truth, but he also stood on the less fortunate side and used public opinion to manipulate Xiao Wu.
Shao Qiyun had made up everything. However, if they did not respond quickly, everyone would probably think that this was the truth after repeatedly hearing this. This is public opinion. Many people will think that it is true just by looking at what happened first. They won't care what happens after that. Mu Jingzhe had seen this many times.
People were very excited to watch the show. On the other hand, no one paid attention to any truth or clarification. Therefore, they must respond in time.
“Yes, we have to act faster. He even said that Xiao Wu did not admit it because he was poor. We don't even have to lie. We just need to uncover what he did in the past. He hasn't even paid the loan shark, and we don't even know how much interest has risen. Now that he was revealed, those people would definitely come looking for him. Let everyone see the original color.”
This method was worth doing, and Shao Qiyun would bear the consequences of her own actions.
Coincidentally, after Shao Qiyun's report was published, the reporters continued to search for Xiao Wu and Mu Jingzhe. Mu Jingzhe, Xiao Wu, and Shao Qihai officially met them to explain the situation and reveal their attitudes.
Of the three of them, Shao Qihai was the most important. He told them everything that had happened back then, including what Shao Qiyun had done before.
Shao Qiyun was not poor at all in the past. She just didn't want to raise the child. Mu Jingzhe was also not a rich foster mother. At first, he did not even have the money to buy shoes and clothes for the children.
One of the things that Shao Qiyun did was enough to make one's blood go cold. After Shao Qihai finished speaking, Xiao Wu personally explained that he would not admit it. He also said that reporters could ask villagers in the county town about further details. They're not afraid.
Someone actually went to ask the people in his hometown, and the results were not surprising.
Xiao Wu had reacted in time, and the truth was in front of everyone. Public opinion immediately sided with Xiao Wu. They felt that it was okay not to acknowledge such a mother. Sure enough, the debt collectors came looking for Shao Qiyun, and she was caught on camera while being chased by the debt collectors.
Shao Qiyun started crying and searched the media again, saying that she knew that she had no rights whatsoever. He only hoped that Xiao Wu would repay the debt for her because she had given birth to him and given him a way out. Xiao Wu already knew how to earn money. This little bit of money was nothing to him, but to him, it would be a life-saving gift.
Xiao Wu ignored this bottomless pit of lies.
Many reporters were able to empathize with Xiao Wu and did not report much on the matter, but some magazines wrote exaggerated reports for profit. They stood by Shao Qiyun's side and said that since she had money, she had to save her biological mother and she shouldn't be petty or anything like that.
When Xiao Wu saw this, he turned around and donated some money to a welfare institution for children who lost their parents or were abandoned by their mothers, hoping they would grow up safely. The donation was almost the same as the money that Shao Qiyun had.
Xiao Wu proved with his actions that he would rather donate his money for a good cause than show attention to Shao Qiyun.
