After being ridiculed by the entire internet, I became famous in the entertainment industry

Chapter 47 47. Give everyone the truth

The night is dark.

Li Qianhai stood by the window, in a daze, holding a cigarette between his fingers. It wasn't until the fallen tobacco burned his fingers that the man was suddenly startled and put out the cigarette.

The ashtray placed on the coffee table was already filled with cigarette butts.

Having been in the entertainment industry for many years, he knows that he should not care about public opinion.

But when those remarks hurt the people around him, Li Qianhai still felt clogged in his heart.

"Haizi."

The woman lying on the bed slowly woke up, looked at the melancholy figure of the person by the window, and called out softly, inhaling some smoke and coughing twice.

Li Qianhai quickly opened the window for ventilation.

"Sorry, I forgot for a moment." He walked to the bed and apologized.

The woman shook her head.

The marks left by the years on her face are heavier than those of others. Perhaps because of the torture she suffered during those years, her body will never return to its original state. Her hair is dry and bifurcated, and her cheeks are slightly sunken.

Li Qianhai looked at Ji Lan and felt as if a big stone was weighing on his heart.

Ji Lan, who is not crazy, is quiet and elegant, like a magnolia blooming quietly, making people feel comfortable after looking at her.

"How are you feeling lately?"

Li Qianhai unconsciously slowed down his voice.

"Everything is fine with me." Her eyes showed reassuring power, "But you, why did you start smoking again?"

"I already smoke."

"Liar." She became anxious and couldn't help coughing.

"Slow down."

Li Qianhai quickly poured her a glass of water, and the woman stood up and took a sip.

He patted her back gently and couldn't help nagging: "Look at your body, it can't withstand a little storm. You should pay more attention to it."

Ji Lan took a breath, lay down, and said calmly: "My body has been disabled for a long time, whether I pay attention to it or not."

"Nonsense." Li Qianhai said with a straight face, "You will definitely be fine."

Ji Lan stared at him for a while, making Li Qianhai feel a little uncomfortable, and then slowly spoke.

"Haizi, are you hiding something from me?"

Li Qianhai looked away with a guilty conscience.

"What can I do..."

"You smoke when you have troubles, and you don't dare to look into people's eyes when you lie."

The man stiffened and said nothing.

After a long silence, Ji Lan sighed and lowered his eyes. His long eyelashes cast a small shadow on his slightly pale and haggard skin.

"If it weren't for you, I would have died long ago."

Her eyes were dull and she spoke a little numbly.

"With my broken body, I know that I am a burden to you, but you can also let me help you if appropriate."

"Otherwise, I will really hate my own existence."

The more she talked, the more excited she became.

Li Qianhai quickly comforted the woman and asked her to take sedative medicine before she became ill.

After struggling for a long time, Ji Lan fell asleep again.

He settled the other party, then quietly walked out of the room, closed the door, and lowered his head, unable to see his expression clearly.

What happened back then not only tortured Ji Lan's body, but also her spirit. She suffered from severe depression and mania. If she wasn't taken care of well, she would go crazy and self-mutilate, damaging her already riddled body.

Li Qianhai will never forget that one month after rescuing Ji Lan, he went to the hospital to see her, but she was curled up on the bed, her hair disheveled, like a mad woman.

The exposed skin was covered with bruises and bruises, and the old and new injuries overlapped and intertwined, which was shocking.

All sharp objects in the house were wrapped in sponges, her nails were clipped cleanly, and she even wore braces in her mouth to prevent her from biting when she went crazy.

But even so, Ji Lan will still use every method to hurt herself.

The doctor said that after being in a painful and depressing environment for a long time, her only way to vent and relieve herself was through pain and self-mutilation.

But on the rare occasions when she was awake, the pain would torture her and keep her awake day and night.

Li Qianhai, a grown man, could not imagine that kind of dark life.

And Ji Lan lived in that village, in that small dark room, for five full years.

Several times, Li Qianhai would meet her when she was awake.

But even when she was sober, she would only say repeatedly——

"Mom, Dad, save me... Haizi, save me..."

"I'm so dirty, let me die."

"Please, don't hit me, it hurts."

"I want to die, let me die."

…

Ji Lan's native family is not rich, and cannot support her subsequent high treatment costs.

Even though her father, who is in his sixties, works outside day and night delivering food and moving bricks at construction sites, and her mother works as a nanny and dishwasher, she still earns a drop in the bucket.

The hemp rope is cut at the thinnest part, and life is hard and miserable.

Two years ago, Ji Lan's father accidentally fell from an elevated structure at a construction site and broke a leg. He had to go home to recuperate.

Li Qianhai has been there many times and said many times that he would pay for Ji Lan's medical expenses, but Ji's parents still refused.

"Xiao Li, it's not easy for you either."

"It's all thanks to you that we were able to find Lan Lan. No matter what we ask you to do, Lan Lan will blame us if she wakes up."

Ji's parents held his hands, and their rough palms were very warm.

Li Qianhai couldn't help but feel the soreness on the tip of his nose.

Both Ji's parents are kind-hearted farmers.

After more than ten years of hard work, Ji Lan, a college student, was destined to be a happy family. However, an unexpected disaster made this already miserable family even worse.

But fortunately, Ji Lan is gradually improving after treatment and is spending more and more time awake.

But now, those people who have no knowledge of the real situation are wantonly using this matter to stir up publicity and attract traffic. How can Li Qianhai not hate it?

In the past two days, some paparazzi even approached Ji Lan's parents, trying to get a few words from them about that year.

Li Qianhai knew that they didn't want the truth, they just wanted popularity, gimmicks, and eating steamed buns dipped in other people's blood.

How ironic.

Taking a deep breath, the man looked gloomy.

Suddenly a cell phone rang, breaking the silence.

Li Qianhai took out his cell phone and saw that it was An Li.

He paused.

After something happened to the program crew, everyone else was afraid to avoid him. An Li was the first program guest to call him.

He didn't know what the other party's intention was.

After hesitating for a while, he picked up.

"Hello?"

"Director Li, it's me, Anli."

"I know." Li Qianhai rubbed his eyebrows and said in a tired tone, "What's the matter with you?"

"Director Li, when will the second episode of our show be released?"

Li Qianhai's hand paused.

"Anli, do you know what's going on now, or do you want to take this opportunity to stir up popularity? Let me tell you, don't even think about it..."

Before the harsher words could be uttered, Anli stopped the man's actions.

"Director Li, I definitely didn't mean to use this matter to create hype. I just wanted to..." An Li paused, "To tell everyone the truth."

"the truth?"

Li Qianhai lowered his head and sneered.

Will the public care about the so-called truth?

Thanks for the annual monthly pass~
