Upon hearing this, Ding Siyu's hand, which was holding her phone, froze in mid-air.

Meanwhile, the chat in the live stream was going crazy with comments.

"Holy crap, cat abuse???"

"No, wasn't this woman just crying her eyes out saying the cat was her family?"

"You're abusing your family???"

"Hahaha, what a disaster! I'll see how this woman explains herself now!"

"Ding Siyu, why don't you explain yourself? You're silent now that you're faced with a difficult question?"

"I just defended her, and now my face hurts so much..."

"Meowing like a cat brings good fortune? I think this woman is just asking for trouble!"

"You've suffered from chronic malnutrition and old injuries, and you say you've been recuperating for two years? Do you even believe that yourself?"

Ding Siyu's face turned pale and then red.

She opened her mouth, letting out a short "I" in her throat, as if trying to explain herself.

But before he could finish speaking, he was choked back by the rapidly scrolling barrage of comments.

She glanced at her phone and saw the words "cat abuse" filling the screen, and her pupils visibly contracted.

No, this isn't right!

She clearly came to ask Su Qinghe for the cat, so how did it turn into her being questioned about abusing the cat?

Ding Siyu's mind raced as she tried to steer the conversation back on track. She forced a stiff laugh, then said, "No... don't let her mislead you. She said I abused cats, so that's it?"

"What proof does she have? I only lost weight because I accidentally let the cat run away for a few days."

"You accidentally ran for a few days and ended up with so many old injuries?"

Su Qinghe interrupted her calmly, "After its old injury healed, the bone grew crooked. The doctor said so himself. You can confront the doctor anytime. Besides, can a bone grow crooked in just a few days?"

Ding Siyu's stiff smile finally crumbled.

She instinctively took half a step back, her heel hitting the curb, and she swayed, almost losing her balance.

The live chat exploded again.

"Hahahaha, this is hilarious!"

"A fracture healed in three days?? Is this cat Wolverine?"

"What kind of talk is that? Can't a cat be a Super Saiyan?"

"Ding Siyu, even with all this chat in your livestream, you're still holding your phone? Are you that passionate about livestreaming?"

"Hey streamer, streamer, say something!"

Jiang Che stood beside her with his arms crossed, watching the fascinating changes in Ding Siyu's expression, and couldn't help but chuckle.

Then, he said lazily, "Fine, even if your story about accidentally getting lost for a few days is true..."

"Can you produce something to prove the cat is yours?"

Jiang Che started counting on his fingers: "Pet hospital medical records, vaccination records, deworming records, old photos of the cat, screenshots of orders for cat food and cat litter, purchase records for cat toys and scratching posts, cat posts on social media..."

With each number he counted, Ding Siyu's lips tightened a little more.

After counting to the end, Jiang Che spread his hands and said, "Look, there's so much evidence. Even if you can only produce half of it, that would be fine, let alone all of it."

Ding Siyu's lips moved slightly. She had been asked to come here to cause trouble, so where would she get all this nonsense proof?

She could only bite the bullet and explain, "I... I'm pretty casual about raising cats, I didn't keep any of these things."

"Casual?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Che looked Ding Siyu up and down, his tone undisguisedly sarcastic, "Weren't you just crying and saying he was your only family? Is this how you treat your family?"

"You can tell he's really easygoing."

The surrounding audience burst into laughter.

Ding Siyu's face froze completely.

She felt as if her cheeks had been covered in a layer of paste, and they would become taut and tight when the wind blew.

On the phone screen, the scrolling of the comments was so fast that it was impossible to see them clearly; all you could see were large swaths of color flashing by, like a pot of boiling hot pot broth.

She could feel the gazes around her piercing her like countless needles.

The students watching the spectacle had already formed several layers in front.

Some were taking pictures with their phones, while others were whispering among themselves.

However, most people were just watching the show, their eyes scanning back and forth between her and Su Qinghe with anticipation.

Ding Siyu swallowed hard; her throat felt as dry as if it were stuffed with cotton.

Don't panic, absolutely don't panic.

She still has live streams and viewers!

So what if Su Qinghe has a young master boyfriend? She doesn't believe Su Qinghe can do anything to her in public.

So Ding Siyu braced herself and raised her voice, shouting into the phone camera, "You all saw that, right? This is how the Jiang family's young master behaves! Relying on his family's wealth and power, he's helping his girlfriend bully me, a girl, in public!"

As she spoke, she took a step forward, her eyes red as if she were about to cry again.

"I'm just an ordinary person. I have no money, no connections, what do I have to fight you with?"

"You say the cat is yours, but you can't provide any proof, can you? Why should I be the only one proving it?"

Sure enough, some people in the live chat were swayed.

"Hmm, what this woman said doesn't seem to be entirely unreasonable, does it?"

"Indeed, if neither side can produce evidence, why should we only listen to one side?"

"However, Ding Siyu has not yet responded to the accusation of abusing cats."

"Don't take sides yet, let's wait and see."

Jiang Che watched Ding Siyu's smooth and skillful actions and couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

This woman is truly skilled at manipulating emotions and public opinion.

Even though she was about to be exposed, she could still shed tears while subtly changing the subject and shifting the blame to her family background.

In a few words, they tried to portray themselves as the weaker party.

With such acting skills, it's a waste that she doesn't go to Hengdian to develop her career and instead becomes a minor internet celebrity in live streaming rooms.

He was thinking of a way to deal with it when Su Qinghe's voice suddenly rang out from the side.

"You just said that you raised Xiaoman, which you call 'bringing wealth' for two years, is that right?"

Her tone remained calm and unhurried, as if she had not been affected by Ding Siyu's words at all.

Ding Siyu looked at her warily: "...Yes, what's wrong?"

Su Qinghe, holding the book, moved her gaze from Ding Siyu's face down to the hand holding the phone, and then slowly back.

"Since you say you're rather casual and can't produce those paper proofs... then tell me, what brand of cat food does Zhao Cai like to eat, what flavor of canned food does it like, where is the litter box in the house, and does it like to sleep on the pillow or at the foot of the bed?"

With each question she asked, Ding Siyu's mouth opened even wider.

Seeing her stunned expression, Su Qinghe smiled slightly. "You said it's the cat you've raised for two years... These are small things, you shouldn't have to think about them for so long, right?"

There was a moment of silence.

Then the discussions burst forth like a dam being opened.
