Chapter 373: So-called Truth
“Although he usually looks so dignified, and comes from a civil servant background, once he takes the drugs, he will become a complete lunatic. He always hits me and has already tried to rape me several times. I tried to call the police but he used the drugs to threaten me. He said if there is a third party who knows about this, he will bring the entire Xiao Family and Mo Family down with him…” At this point, Xiao Yue paused for effect. The reporters couldn’t help themselves and they pushed the microphones at Xiao Yue. Their eyes glowed with gossip. “Miss Xiao, what does this have to do with the Mo Family?”
“Miss Xiao, you mean Mr. Chen is not only treating you like this but also Miss Mo Li too?”
“Does this mean Mr. Chen is involved with the two of you at the same time?”
The intense questions rolled at Xiao Yue like waves. Her tears fell like a waterfall. She said in a hoarse voice, “No, I didn’t mean any of those things! Please stop asking me these questions. This matter has nothing to do with my dear sister, Mo Li. Besides, I heard that the horrible man only did this because someone else told him to. But I cannot go further than that. I do not wish to implicate anyone, so can you please respect my wish?”
Xiao Yue whimpered and covered her mouth. She looked like a picture of a pitiable victim. All the male reporters felt sorry for her and they became less aggressive, “Do you mean Mr. Chen is treating you like this because of Miss Mo Li? You and Mr. Chen have no connection and he is doing this because of Miss Mo Li? Miss Mo Li is the real culprit?”
Everyone fell for Xiao Yue’s leading words and assumed Mo Li was the mastermind.
“Of course not!” Xiao Yue shook her head and choked on her words. “I really didn’t expect him to turn out to be someone like that. I got to know him through his friend, Luo Cong, Sister Mo Li’s ex-fiance. I only agreed to meet him to give face to my little sister Mo Li. However, he later threatened me with the exposure of the illicit relationship between Sister Mo Li and Luo Cong. I do not wish for this incident to influence her because sister Mo Li’s career is just starting. If this is exposed, the Mo Family will not be able to handle it…
“I know this is weak of me but our families always have a good relationship, but I can’t… I can’t play with my sister’s reputation. If something happens to her, I will die from sadness…” Xiao Yue couldn’t continue because she choked on her words. She had put on a good show and she looked trustworthy. In an instant, Xiao Yue’s image had a total shift. From a despised harlot, she was now a wronged woman who only cared about her friend and family.
“I have been holding back, believing that the Xiao Family name should be able to settle this matter but his appetite grew bigger! He started to threaten me to find a post for him at the Xiao Family. He then demanded to marry me and claim the Xiao Family’s company shares.
“I can’t allow him to continue to do this so I decided to tell everything during my birthday party, at worst we would die together. However, he had anticipated my actions. He drugged me and even took that video… I really, I really didn’t know what happened! At the time, I was drugged out of my mind and he has framed me with everything!”
Xiao Yue was crying so hard it was hard to understand her. At this point, everyone was confused. They didn’t know who to believe.
“But in the video, you were moaning the name of another man. Who is that man?”
“That’s right, what do you have to say about that?” Some of the female reporters continued to fire the sharp questions. “You said Chen Shuo tried to threaten you with drugs and this thing is related to Miss Mo Li’s ex-fiance. But these are all one-sided statements. Where’s the evidence?
“Without evidence, how can we tell if you are telling the truth or not? Furthermore, the Luo Family has disappeared for years already. They do not pose a threat to the Xiao Family and Mo Family. Why would you bring him up?”
Xiao Yue shook her head and said nasally. “I’m not lying and I have evidence. Since he is a drug addict, you can find drugs at his home. If you don’t believe me, you can follow the police to go to his home now.
“I don’t want to do this but I am cornered. My father is still recovering at the hospital. I already have nothing so I am not afraid to tell the truth anymore. I only hope that Chen Shuo can be brought to justice.” Xiao Yue took a deep breath before she faced the skeptical reporters. “As for Luo Cong and Sister Mo Li, everyone knows about their history. If you don’t believe me, you can go ask Luo Cong yourself. However, Luo Cong has been hiding from Chen Shuo because he knows this is going to be exposed. I do not need to create stories about them.”
The flashes went off continuously. Xiao Yue left the stage in tears. Everyone believed her.
