Chapter 1103: Kill Ye Xiaolang! (Please subscribe!)

PS: Five thousand and seven is also considered an extra chapter, hehe, please give me your monthly votes!

Ye Xiaolang returned to her dormitory with an unhappy look on her face. Her roommate and best friend Liu Xiaomeng was eating oranges. When she saw her coming back, she threw a peeled orange to her:

"Yes, eat oranges!"

Ye Xiaolang sat on his bed with an unhappy look on his face. He put the orange in his mouth and took a bite, then grinned:

"Why is your orange so sour?"

Liu Xiaomeng smiled and said, "I don't think it's the oranges that are sour, it's your mood. Didn't you go after that Doctor Qiao? Why did you come back looking unhappy? Did you fail? Or does he have a girlfriend?"

"What a trick!"

Ye Xiaolang got angry when he talked about this, and immediately talked about what happened before, and then complained to his girlfriend:

"Tell me, how can there be such a father? He's a big star, too. He's feudal, pedantic, authoritarian, and his desire for control is too strong!"

Liu Xiaomeng is a complicated person. In the original plot, she and Ye Xiaolang seemed to be fake sisters, because she once complained in front of Qiao Yicheng about the fact that Ye Xiaolang was a scumbag.

But upon careful analysis, this is not the case. First of all, what she said was correct. It is very likely that she just didn't want such an honest man like Qiao Yicheng to fall into the trap. Secondly, when Ye Xiaolang asked her to borrow money when he went abroad, she did not refuse and extended a helping hand.

As we all know, people with whom you have a superficial relationship will definitely not lend you money, so even if this person is a bad talker, his character can still be good.

On the contrary, Ye Xiaolang paid back the money Liu Xiaomeng lent her after going abroad, but she never contacted this best friend who lent her money again, just like she did with her ex-husband Qiao Yicheng, breaking off all ties with him.

At this time, Liu Xiaomeng had some different opinions after listening to Ye Xiaolang's story:

"Xiao Lang, I think if you really like Qiao Yicheng, why would you care whether he has money or not? As for picking his tendons, I definitely won't do that. Teacher Qiao is Qiao Yicheng's biological father, and that's against the law. I guess Teacher Qiao is just trying to scare you!"

Ye Xiaolang really wanted to curse. If I didn’t see that Qiao Yicheng had a promising future and was the son of a famous star, would I be so eager to get him? What would I gain if I don’t have the right of inheritance?

She immediately said in dissatisfaction: "Xiao Meng, who are you from? Are you still my best friend?"

Liu Xiaomeng quickly comforted her and said with a smile:

"Of course I'm on your side. I was just wondering if this is a test from Teacher Qiao?"

"Just think about it, with a family like that, how many people would throw themselves at her? You have to see what kind of character she has!"

Ye Xiaolang thought for a moment and said, "No way. His tone was so serious. When he said that there was an ancestral precept, he was not afraid that I would ask Qiao Yicheng. He was so confident that it didn't seem fake at first glance!"

Liu Xiaomeng spread her hands and said, "I don't know either. Anyway, if you leave, it will be difficult to get through this stage again!"

Ye Xiaolang said angrily: "I just can't accept it, he is targeting me!"

Liu Xiaomeng felt a little uncomfortable with the low pressure brought by Ye Xiaolang, so she wanted to change the subject:

"You should think more about the tasks assigned by the editor-in-chief. You haven't submitted this week's manuscript yet, so why don't you go out and look for news? Put more attention on your work. Once you make some headlines and become a well-known reporter with status and position, you will be able to find anyone you want!"

Ye Xiaolang did not speak either. He sat there with his eyes flickering. He pondered for a while before asking:

"Xiao Meng, if a very famous person does something very bad, should we as media people expose him?"

Liu Xiaomeng was not a fool, she asked in surprise, "Are you talking about Teacher Qiao Zuwang?"

Ye Xiaolang neither admitted nor denied:

"Oh, don't worry about who it is, just tell me whether it's right or not, okay?"

Liu Xiaomeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry:

"You don't want to expose what he said to you, do you? It's just a few words. He will say he was joking with you and wanted you to back down. It's not a big deal at all!"

Ye Xiaolang denied it this time: "Oh, I'm not talking about him, I mean, for example, this person did something illegal."

Liu Xiaomeng thought for a moment:

"If it is illegal or disorderly, then of course it should be exposed. After all, one of our responsibilities as media professionals is to supervise and report. We must have the courage to expose injustice and illegal behavior!"

She added, "But if it's a report with a big impact, you'd better ask the editor-in-chief for his opinion first!"

Ye Xiaolang seemed to have made up his mind and nodded vigorously: "I know what to do!"

A few days later, a news article titled "Famous Movie Star Knows the Law but Breaks it" was published in Jinling Daily, signed by the reporter: "Ye Xiaolang"!

The article first states that we have implemented the planned SY policy since 71.

Then he specifically mentioned Qiao Zuwang, a well-known movie star who had played the roles of Huang Feihong and Erlang Shen, and a famous opera master who had won the Plum Blossom Award. He had seven children, including the fifth son Qiao Qiqi, the sixth son Qiao Zhuoran, and the seventh son He Pingan, all of whom were considered as having more than one child.

In the article, the reporter strongly criticized and condemned Qiao Zuwang's behavior.

As soon as this article came out, paper became expensive in Jinling and all newspapers were sold out. Moreover, the news quickly spread, especially since Qiao Zuwang was a local celebrity in Jinling. In less than a day, the news became a hot topic in Jinling.

When Qiao Yicheng saw this article in the hospital, he was furious and immediately asked for leave to go to Ye Xiaolang to seek an explanation.

But at this moment, he received a call from Hua Twelve at home. On the other end of the phone, the old man spoke in a relaxed tone:

"Well, your father didn't make a mistake, did he? That Ye Xiaolang has evil intentions and ulterior motives. I used a little trick and she showed her true colors!"

Qiao Yicheng was speechless:

"Dad, it's already this late. Do you know how much of an impact this article will have on you and our family?"

"No, I have to go find Ye Xiaolang to ask for an explanation. Also, you should hurry to the school and bring Qiqi back. The newspaper has named him, and Qiqi is in the spotlight right now. Don't let him be affected by anything!"

Hua Twelve laughed:

"I have already brought Qiqi back. Also, don't go looking for Ye Xiaolang. What can you say to her? Can you beat her up? Wouldn't that make the matter even worse?"

"By the way, we can't stay in the old house anymore. There are reporters everywhere outside. I'm in the small western-style building with your stepmother now. When you get off work, go find Erqiang and Sanli. Just come over here and we'll talk!"

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Yicheng gave up on looking for Ye Xiaolang to argue. His father was right. Even if he went there, he would really beat her up. But he couldn't let that woman take advantage of him and make a fuss in the newspapers. Wouldn't that bring more trouble to the family?

However, the subtle affection that Qiao Yicheng originally had for Ye Xiaolang was completely extinguished today. He felt that his father was right and that this woman had evil intentions!

In the evening, the Qiao family gathered in the small western-style building on Jiangsu Road. Qiao Yicheng saw that his father and stepmother did not seem to be worried at all, so he said angrily:

"Dad, Mom, why aren't you anxious?"

He Qing peeled grapes for Hua Twelve and fed them to him one by one. When he heard his eldest son ask this, he smiled and said:

"About this, ask your dad!"

Hua Twelve ate the grapes his wife fed him and smiled indifferently:

"Your old man, am I the anxious one? Don't worry, idiot. Let the bullet fly for a while. It can't hit me anyway!"

Qiao Yicheng really didn’t understand what the old man was saying. You’ve made the local headlines, and they still can’t beat you. They’re almost going to beat you to death!

Hua Twelve looked at his eldest son, who was about to collapse, and laughed:

"You, even with a scalpel in hand, are still so impatient. How can this be? I'll tell you the truth. That bitch surnamed Ye caused such a small thing. Even though she's drunk now, your father can easily break it with a flip of his hand!"

Seeing his father's firm words, Qiao Yicheng felt relieved and asked curiously, "Then please solve it quickly. Isn't it better to settle this matter as soon as possible?"

Hua Twelve said calmly:

"Your father is a man who will repay favors and avenge grievances. That woman surnamed Ye dared to deal with me, so I must make her pay a price. If I had encountered such a thing before, I would have just stepped on her to death!"

"Now that I am cultivating myself and starting to eat brains, let her float for a while. When things get serious, I will kill her completely!"

If Qiao Zuwang had said this seventy-seven years ago, even if Qiao Yicheng was still a child at the time, he would not have believed a word of it. But when Hua Twelve said this now, Qiao Yicheng was already mourning for Ye Xiaolang in his heart.

Three days passed in a flash, and Hua Twelve remained silent, which gave the outside world a wrong signal, thinking that no response meant acquiescence or guilt, and things began to ferment rapidly.

Since the characters Huang Feihong and Erlang Shen played by Hua Shier are so deeply rooted in people's hearts, they are also very famous and have a high national popularity. Whenever something happens, all major media outlets compete to reprint their stories.

On the other hand, Ye Xiaolang seemed to have reached the peak of her life during these three days. She received countless flowers and praises, and her leader praised her for her good work several times.

Having tasted the sweetness of success, Ye Xiaolang seemed to have found the secret to success and once again issued an article to attack Hua Twelve.

In this article, Ye Xiaolang said that she used to be a fan of Qiao Zuwang, but because of this incident, she expressed great disappointment in her former idol. She wrote in the article in a tone of "for your own good":

"I sincerely hope that this famous movie star and opera performer can admit his mistakes, have the courage to correct them, and apologize to all the fans who once liked and supported him, because as a star, he did not set a good example. I hope that the relevant departments will impose severe punishment on Qiao Zuwang for his illegal behavior, so as to serve as a warning to others!"

An apology must be accompanied by severe punishment, and murder must be committed by destroying the heart. Ye Xiaolang’s main character is ruthless!

Someone from a certain department accepted an interview with a reporter and said that they would find out the truth of the matter as soon as possible and give an explanation to the outside world. If it was true, they would definitely follow the rules and punish all celebrities equally. After seeing the newspaper, Qiao Yicheng tore it up. Ye Xiaolang was too vicious. He hated himself for having a good impression of such a woman that day and for letting her visit his home.

At the same time, Hua Shier was talking to his friend in Beijing at home:

"Thank you, Brother Jiu. Don't worry, it's not like what the newspaper said. I know the female reporter who wrote the article. She's a girl. I didn't want to ruin her future, so I didn't explain much. I didn't expect her to get worse. Oh, you're right. I'm just too kind. Well, don't worry, I will come out and explain it clearly. Nothing will happen."

The person on the other end of the phone was Jiu Ye, the head of the Mei School in Beijing. Hua Shier had performed a piece of "Farewell My Concubine" with He Qing during a performance commemorating the 90th anniversary of Boss Mei's birth. That performance was recognized by Jiu Ye Mei, and the two later became close friends.

This time, Hua Twelve's incident caused too much trouble. The newspapers in Beijing reported it. If Master Mei Jiu hadn't used his influence to suppress it, this incident would probably have been reported on CCTV-1.

After ending the call with Mei Jiuye, Hua Shier called Jinling TV Station:

"Director Wu? I'm Qiao Zuwang. I want to do a TV interview and clarify things in person about the past few days."

The TV station attached great importance to Hua Shier's invitation for an exclusive interview and sent an interview team to the small western-style building in the afternoon to conduct an exclusive interview with Hua Shier and He Qing.

"Hello, Mr. Qiao, my name is Song Qingyuan, and I'm the reporter who's interviewing you this time!"

The visitor was a very sunny young man, who was Song Qingyuan, Qiao Yicheng's partner and good friend at the TV station in the original plot.

Hua Shier has a very good impression of Song Qingyuan. In the original plot, this person has a casual, open-minded and broad-minded personality. When Qiao Yicheng came into contact with Ye Xiaolang, he reminded his friend several times to think seriously. He really lives up to his name, sober and far-sighted.

Hua Shier shook hands with the other party: "Hello, reporter Song, let's start the interview!"

Facing the camera, Hua Shier spoke freely: "I have read the report. It is true that I do have seven children. The first five were left by my first wife."

Song Qingyuan interrupted and asked, "Then did you divorce Teacher He and remarry him?"

Hua Twelve shook his head. "My first wife died of postpartum hemorrhage when she gave birth to our fifth child in 1977, who was Qiao Qiqi mentioned in that report. Many years later, I fell in love with He Qing, and that's when we started a new family."

"Because He Qing had never given birth, I felt she had the right to be a mother, so we decided to have another child. We didn't expect it to be twins, so we have the sixth and seventh child!"

Song Qingyuan frowned: "Teacher Qiao, is it true that you have violated the relevant regulations as stated in the report?"

"not at all!"

After Hua Shier introduced the basic situation, he began to refute the report:

"I've also read the report. It said that my daughter Qiqi violated the regulations. But that's not true. At that time, the country mainly used persuasion, and there were no hard and fast regulations. It wasn't until 1982 that family planning was made a basic policy and written into law."

Song Qingyuan nodded: "That's true, so your child with Teacher He should have been born after 1982, right?"

"It was 1988. They are already two years old this year!"

Song Qingyuan continued, "As far as I know, if one party of a family re-establishes a family and the other party has children, it is also within the scope of the plan. Your two younger sons."

Hua Twelve waved his hand to interrupt: "That's not the case!"

He nodded to He Qing, who took out two birth certificates and showed them to the camera:

"Reporter Song, look, my two sons were born when I was visiting relatives in Hong Kong Island. My wife's cousin lives in Hong Kong Island, and we decided to go there when we decided to have children. Since they were born in Hong Kong Island, they automatically obtained Hong Kong Island household registration, which did not violate the relevant regulations of our mainland!"

Song Qingyuan suddenly realized: "So that's how it is!"

Hua Twelve interrupted at this time and said, "I want to make it clear that Hong Kong Island is also our place, so although my two sons are registered in Hong Kong Island, they are still Chinese."

Song Qingyuan couldn't help but applaud: "Teacher Qiao said it very well, yes, that place is also ours, we have the same roots and race, we are all Chinese!"

He said with some confusion: "Then Mr. Qiao, you also know that the report in the newspaper has a very negative impact on you, why didn't you come out and clarify it earlier!"

Hua Shier used his acting skills that he had honed over the years and said in a particularly 'sincere' manner:

"There is a reason behind this. In fact, I know the reporter who reported this article, Ms. Ye Xiaolang. She has interviewed my eldest son Qiao Yicheng and wanted to develop a romantic relationship with my son. But I saw that she had bad intentions, so I opposed my son's relationship with her, which led to this incident!"

"When the report came out, I started to get angry, but then I thought about how the girl was still very young. If I came out to clarify, she would be held responsible, and her career would probably be ruined. So I thought about it and let it go. I'll wait until things cool down and it will be over!"

Song Qingyuan admired her and said, "Teacher Qiao, you are still thinking about others in this situation. You are so kind!"

Hua Shier sighed, "Many friends have said so, but I didn't expect this kid to be so persistent and even write articles in the newspapers to criticize me. I feel that if this continues, my work and life, and even my family, will be greatly affected. This is absolutely not allowed, so I have no choice but to stand up and speak out for my family!"

"Now that I have come forward, I have to make my attitude clear. I backed down before, but this time I am doing it for my family, so I will pursue it to the end!"

Hua Twelve faced the camera and said seriously:

"Ms. Ye Xiaolang and a certain newspaper published a false article to attract attention and increase sales without any investigation. They also published the name of a minor. This is suspected of infringement and has seriously affected me and my family. It has caused us great trouble and affected the reputation of me and my lover!"

"So I will resort to law to seek justice for me and my family!"

The content of the interview was broadcast on TV that evening, and the next day, all those who had been criticizing Hua Twelve changed their tone.

Many people say that they have wrongly blamed Teacher Qiao. Teacher Qiao is good in every way except that he is too kind.

Some also said that they had long known that Teacher Qiao would not do anything illegal.

But there were also different voices, with some questioning whether Qiao Zuwang and He Qing went to Hong Kong Island to give birth to their child.

But someone immediately objected, saying, didn’t you hear Teacher Qiao say that that place is also ours? Besides, He Qing is so young, what’s wrong with Teacher Qiao fulfilling her wish to be a mother? How can you be so unsympathetic?

After these words were spoken, there were no more voices questioning whether Hua Shier and He Qing went to Hong Kong Island to give birth to their child.

Compared with the reversal of Qiao family's reputation, Ye Xiaolang was knocked down from the peak of his life and became a disgrace to the public, to the point where everyone wanted him killed.

After the TV interview was broadcast, she realized the seriousness of the problem and immediately ran to Shamao Lane to ask for Hua Shier's forgiveness.

As a result, he didn't see the person, and when he asked the neighbors, his identity was exposed in front of Wu's sister.

Sister Wu immediately shouted, "The woman who harmed Brother Qiao is here!"

Wei Shufang, Wu Damei, and a group of neighbors threw eggs at Ye Xiaolang and pulled his hair.

Li Heman pinched her fingers like a orchid:

"Beat this shameless guy."

Ye Xiaolang returned to the unit in embarrassment. As soon as she sat down, the editor-in-chief pulled her over and scolded her. The editor scolded her for submitting the manuscript without any investigation as a reporter, and for causing the newspaper to be sued.

The editor-in-chief held her fully responsible for the news incident.

The reason why the editor-in-chief of the newspaper was so angry was because Hua Shier did what he said and had appointed a lawyer to sue the newspaper and Ye Xiaolang.

The editor-in-chief of the newspaper called to apologize, but Hua Shier said there was no room for negotiation and the only option was to file a lawsuit!

Soon, the news clarified by Hua Shier was once again reported by media outlets across the country, and triggered further reflection in the news industry on how practitioners should uphold their professional ethics.

Finally, a leader named Xiang, who lived at Jiangsu Road, came forward to mediate. Hua Shier agreed to the mediation because of the other party's status and the possibility that he might be his future in-law, and the matter did not go to court.

The newspaper promised to meet three demands: first, to expel Ye Xiaolang; second, to publicly apologize in the publications for half a month; and third, to compensate for mental damages of 10,000 yuan. Only then did they obtain Hua Shier's forgiveness.

Ye Xiaolang lost his job and became a notorious person in the industry.

After this incident, it is unlikely that she will be able to find a job in the industry again.

At this time, she was complaining to her best friend Liu Xiaomeng:

"Why am I so unlucky!"

But she didn't know that this was just the beginning, and there were more unfortunate things waiting for her.

Thanks to: 08a, Little Tiger in the Demon World for the reward, and thanks to the brothers who voted for monthly votes and recommendation votes, thank you very much.
