Xia Wei Liang was startled, "Who did you say wants to impeach me?"
"No, no!" Nuo Mi was so excited she was practically dancing, "Yi Shen! Yi Shen is going to be a guest on the show!"
"Him?" Xia Wei Liang couldn't quite grasp it, "Why would he go on as a guest?"
Xiao Yi never participated in variety shows. In the past, it was only for her that he had consecutively appeared on "Let's Challenge," "Courage," and "Your Grandpa."
What about this life?
What was the reason this time?
Suddenly, she looked up and asked Nuo Mi, "He won't be badmouthing me along with them, will he?!"
Nuo Mi rolled her eyes, "Please! Wei Wei jie! Who is he? He's Yi Shen! Someone who doesn't easily descend from his pedestal. To suddenly participate in a talk show just to join the bandwagon?"
Xia Wei Liang thought about it carefully and nodded, "Uh-huh!"
Nuo Mi was about to explode with frustration. "Yi Shen must be doing it for you! Think about that phoenix hairpin! Think about those five million!" The more she spoke, the more excited she became. "So! Yi Shen must want to help you escape this sea of suffering so you can focus on making money and eventually pay him back!!"
That's right, it had to be that! Logical, reasonable, and coherent!
Xia Wei Liang expressed her deep shock upon hearing this, "Not bad, Nuo Mi, you're actually using your brain now!"
"Of course!"
As the two were chatting, the program had just begun.
The host first warmed up the crowd, then, in the most enthusiastic and excited voice he had ever used, introduced the special guest, Xiao Yi!
Thunderous applause erupted from the stage. This live audience was simply too fortunate!
Suddenly being informed that Xiao Yi would be attending was like being unexpectedly given two extra drumsticks with dinner!
At this very moment, the Yi Mi fans outside the venue were already in position, each ready for battle. Everyone knew that Xiao Yi's sudden appearance alongside this controversial couple must have… well, some sort of reason behind it. Su Dan Novel Network.
As for the truth, it should be revealed soon.
When Xiao Yi's fair, clean, and refined face appeared on screen, Xia Wei Liang's heart skipped a beat. Even for someone like her who had had an intimate relationship with Xiao Yi, she couldn't help but be captivated by him.
Xiao Yi stood up, gave a slight nod, and sat down, his gaze fixed on the couple opposite him.
Liu Wan Quan and Bao Fang didn't know much about the entertainment industry. They knew of Xiao Yi, but not his standing in the circle. Therefore, they treated him as just another guest, not paying him much mind.
Afterward, they got down to business.
At first, it was the usual routine. The host introduced the background of the incident, and simultaneously, photos of Xia Wei Liang and Xia Yi Ran appeared on the screen.
Xiao Yi calmly raised his eyes, looked at one of the photos for a moment, then withdrew his gaze.
After the background was explained, it was time for the question-and-answer session.
Liu Wan Quan, a seasoned veteran, knew what effect the host was aiming for and how to answer to create more buzz!
"...Netizens say that we old folks are greedy for money, and they also say we ruined our own daughter..." Liu Wan Quan said with a wry smile, "We have no choice! She doesn't see us, she acts like we don't exist. What can we do? Is it wrong for biological parents to want to reconnect with her?!"
The host slowly nodded, "Ah..." Just as he was about to delve into sentimentality, Xiao Yi picked up the microphone and said unhurriedly, "Mr. Liu, is your so-called way of reconnecting by constantly appearing on shows and using almost perfect rhetoric to criticize your so-called biological daughter?"
Liu Wan Quan was taken aback, "This, this is impossible! Why would I criticize her? I'm just telling the truth!"
"What's the purpose? Is it merely to meet her, to make her acknowledge you? Alright, even if you achieve your goal through such means, what is the outcome? You end up ruining her… Can I interpret this as, as long as she acknowledges you, it doesn't matter if she's ruined! And then, because you criticized her on the show first, if she acknowledges you, it indirectly means she agrees with everything you've said! Therefore, whether she acknowledges you or not, the outcome is destined to be her future and reputation being ruined by her biological parents."
Liu Wan Quan was left stammering, "This..."
He had encountered doubt before, but never had anyone been so aggressive. After such an explanation, he didn't know how to respond.
However, applause erupted from the audience.
Xiao Yi's reputation and status were undeniable. He wouldn't resort to using such a show for attention.
Compared to Liu Wan Quan, people were more inclined to believe Xiao Yi's judgment, especially since his words were reasoned and well-supported.
Bao Fang slowly raised her head at this moment, glanced at Xiao Yi, then lowered her head again.
Liu Wan Quan looked confusedly at the host, then pointed at Xiao Yi, "He's not the guest today, is he? Who was the originally scheduled guest? Can you just change whoever you've arranged?"
The host quickly replied, "Mr. Liu, let's not discuss the guest issue for now. Since Xiao Yi has raised a question, we hope you can also provide an answer."
Since Xiao Yi announced his participation, it meant that the show had encountered a variable.
Therefore, the host had also received a prompt from the director earlier, telling him to observe Xiao Yi's attitude and follow his lead, as that would be the correct direction!
Liu Wan Quan was stumped, but since it was a live broadcast, he couldn't just say nothing.
He was both angry and anxious, angry that the production team was untrustworthy and had specifically found someone to undermine him! In his anger, his temper got a little out of control. He slammed his hand on the table, "She won't see us, and we have to beg her? Since when do parents beg their children? If she is so disloyal, unfilial, unrighteous, and unjust, are we not allowed to talk about it on the show? I want everyone to see, to see that Xia Wei Liang is an unfilial daughter who doesn't acknowledge her parents! Whether she is ruined or not, that's none of my concern!"
After he finished speaking, the audience erupted in an uproar.
Xiao Yi curled his lips into a mocking smile, "So, your adoptive daughter still acknowledges you?"
"Of course!" Liu Wan Quan said proudly, "Our Yi Ran has been filial since childhood. Now that she's a young lady from a wealthy family, she treats us just as well! You wouldn't find a child like that even with a lantern! It's all thanks to our good upbringing. The Xia family really struck gold!"
Hearing the difference in his attitude towards his adoptive daughter and biological daughter, everyone couldn't help but shake their heads.
If people didn't know, they would think Xia Yi Ran was his biological child!
Xiao Yi smiled, "It seems that blood ties truly outweigh adoptive ones. As long as they are biological, you can ruin them without restraint, while with others, you have to be cautious."
Liu Wan Quan finally understood. This young man was targeting him in every sentence!
He narrowed his eyes and looked at Xiao Yi, "Why are you siding with Xia Wei Liang in every word you say? What is your relationship with her? As far as I can see, you two are not normal! Otherwise, you wouldn't have come specifically as a guest and be making excuses for her everywhere!"
Liu Wan Quan's question had hit the mark.
The host's eyes were almost glowing green, "Xiao Yi, do you have anything to say?"
