Rise and Slay: From Scandal Queen to Academic Genius - Chapter 255 - 234: Method of Clarification
Chapter 255: Chapter 234: Method of Clarification
Zhu Xiu’an’s one sentence shattered the sad atmosphere of the entire room.
[I don’t know about the lady going home, but that dumb dog is definitely dead!]
[Hmph, I used to dislike Zhu Xiu’an’s mouth, but now that I think about it… oh well, bad people will get what’s coming to them from their parents! (strikes)]
[No wonder, as a three-year iron fan of this dumb dog, I’ve always found it strange that while other celebrities’ childhood photos in the entertainment industry are always happy, the leaked pictures of this dumb dog are either crying or have swollen peach eyes from crying, now I understand!]
[Any photos above? I want to see~]
Half of the fans in the live stream room were already distracted by Zhu Xiu’an.
The on-site guests were also stunned into silence, unable to speak.
Guan Fengyan was silent for a long time before sighing and saying, “The fact that you survived to this age really shows how much your parents love you!”
Similarly, Sheng Yaoyao, who also has children, nodded, “Indeed.”
After agreeing, she suddenly began to worry about what to do if her own child becomes rebellious in the future. The more she looked at Zhu Xiu’an, the more she felt scared. Even though her child is just starting to crawl, she’s planning to make a detailed and comprehensive parenting plan.
The guests in the small room stood awkwardly for a while before coming back to their senses from their shock at Zhu Xiu’an’s ridiculousness.
Ji Xizhi’s trend on Weibo was still fermenting; now wasn’t the time to discuss these things.
Director Wang hinted at Ji Xizhi from behind the camera, suggesting that she could directly clarify the trending topic during the live stream.
The trending topic on Ji Xizhi climbed up after the live broadcast room of the program team was suddenly shut down, and there was plenty of speculation about Ji Xizhi being guilty. Now, if Ji Xizhi can clarify in the main live stream, it would naturally be the best.
Since it hasn’t been long since the trend started fermenting, now is the best time to clarify.
Director Wang’s hint was also seen by the other guests.
Le Qiqi took the initiative to ask Ji Xizhi: “So was that man your adoptive brother? Why did he look so fierce? And is it true what he said about your mom being hospitalized and you not taking any money?”
Le Qiqi fired a barrage of questions like a machine gun.
Beside her, Sheng Yaoyao reacted quickly, immediately adding, “Zhi Zhi, if you have any difficulties, or if you’re afraid of something, just speak out, we will all protect you!”
Le Qiqi’s straightforward personality made her disbelieve that Ji Xizhi would do such a thing, so she asked everything directly.
No matter how Ji Xizhi responds to Le Qiqi’s questions, they will be interpreted in various ways by netizens.
But Sheng Yaoyao’s additional comment helped guide the interpretation direction of the netizens.
With Sheng Yaoyao’s words, Zhong Yulu, who had been silent, also looked up at Sheng Yaoyao.
Zhong Yulu wanted to build a good relationship with Sheng Yaoyao and had been trying since the second episode, but why was Sheng Yaoyao working so hard to help Ji Xizhi while she was trying to please Sheng Yaoyao?
Zhong Yulu couldn’t figure out the reason.
However, the guests standing beside started to speak up continuously for Ji Xizhi.
Fang Zhuyue looked worried, and said, “Yes, we’re all here.”
Guan Fengyan: “Your Uncle Yan still has some strength! We’re not old yet!”
New guest You Yingmeng: “I can help too.”
Zhu Xiu’an proudly suggested his newly recognized little brother Bai Zhe to Ji Xizhi, “My little brother is so tall, he must be good at fighting, let him take the forefront! Let him protect you!”
Bai Zhe, previously disheartened by Ji Xizhi’s words, was now dragged into the conversation by Zhu Xiu’an.
He was already prepared to answer.
With a numb expression, Bai Zhe looked at Zhu Xiu’an and said, “No need, the law will protect her.”
The other guests: “???”
This… does make some sense.
And it’s even more reliable than us!
[Amazing, Bai Zhe really understands Ji Xizhi! I’m beginning to ship them!]
[Wuwuwu, our Bai Bai has really learned a lot about the law privately, it’s wonderful. The entertainment industry doesn’t have many hardworking artists like him, let’s support and follow our Bai Bai!]
Zhu Xiu’an applauded Bai Zhe’s answer first, shamelessly trying to claim credit: “It seems like after talking to you so much tonight, you’ve really improved! Come, come, come, I’ll teach you overnight!”
[Has Zhu Xiu’an lost his shame? So cringe! Our Bai Bai learned everything diligently by himself, okay? Seeing Zhu Xiu’an claiming others’ labor is really off-putting!]
[Uh… just so you know, the dumb dog doesn’t actually have any shame! If you’re mad, just scold him a couple more times, don’t hold it in, and to clarify further, he really doesn’t have any bad intentions!]
The older guests of the program team were trying every way to help Ji Xizhi find a chance to clarify.
Ji Xizhi obviously noticed this too, and before she understood everything and had evidence, she didn’t plan on clarifying. However, seeing so many people working hard for her and remembering the intellectuals who accompanied her day and night protecting her on the internet.
Ji Xizhi changed her mind, and without mentioning anything about her adoptive mother and brother, she calmly said to the camera, “Evidence is the basis for determining a case. Making up things without evidence might involve breaking the law. Although online speech is free, everyone must take responsibility for what they say.”
After speaking, Ji Xizhi sat calmly on the sofa and began recording on her phone. She neither complained nor accused others vehemently, just said something plain.
This could be considered the most powerless clarification in the entertainment industry in recent years. Nowadays, no celebrity would choose to clarify in this way. At least they would have a legal firm’s seal, and even that might not win trust.
But for Ji Xizhi, she’s completely different from others. With just a sentence, she helped many bystanders in the live stream room regain some rationality.
[Ji Xizhi’s clarification is basically saying nothing! Isn’t she just using the law to threaten everyone? We didn’t spread rumors, this is reasonable doubting, she can’t sue me!]
[That’s true, but she sounded quite sincere. I’m not a fan, I’ve just watched a few episodes of her shows. Anyway, I believe Ji Xizhi wouldn’t break the law; I don’t think she’d do that kind of thing!]
[Honestly, I feel the recent internet atmosphere is really weird; full of hostility without knowing the full facts. Who knows what kind of person that brother is? We don’t even know if that so-called mother exists!]
[A lot of people are easily swayed by trends. I used to think it was unnecessary to learn the law or that it wasn’t useful, but now I think it’s good to understand a bit, at least in tricky situations, I won’t panic!]
…
President Huang of Hangxing Entertainment first noticed Ji Xizhi’s fan base growing, then saw Ji Xizhi’s clarification remarks trending.
President Huang clicked and glanced at it, then couldn’t stop his anger from surging.
Even this kind of clarification is believed? Are today’s netizens fools?!
Full of anger, President Huang took out his phone and dialed the number of a rival variety show director.
