I am terminally ill, but I am healing the world with my songs
#62 - Chapter 62 Life-saving Straw
“How could he be coughing so badly!? I've never seen you cough like this at home!” Mother Wen said in shock.
“Old woman, put away your hypocritical face. As far as I know, Wen He has been coughing for several years, and even started coughing up blood half a year ago. Have you ever taken him to the hospital even once!?”
Seeing Mother Wen's ugly face, Cheng Yudie felt disgusted.
Especially the sickeningly melodramatic act she just put on.
Thinking she was so touching.
It was simply nauseating!
Exposed, Mother Wen immediately became nervous. She quickly defended, “But… I also found someone to see a doctor for him…”
“The doctor you're referring to is the cheap folk remedy you got from a relative in your hometown, right?”
Hearing this, Mother Wen couldn't sit still any longer: “Did Wen He tell you all this?”
“He didn't tell me. I just have some connections and had people investigate you thoroughly.”
With Cheng Yudie's background, even if she had left her family, getting this information wasn't difficult for her.
Then, she presented even more videos and recordings.
When those scenes and sounds appeared before their eyes…
Everyone in the production team was completely stunned.
[“But Mom, I still finished all the housework after I came back…”]
“What? Do you need me to praise you?”
“So amazing, doing all the housework after working so hard.”
“Our Wen He is really awesome.”
“How is it, are you satisfied?”
… … … …
[“Mom… I've done everything… Leave me some privacy…”]
“Is there a problem with me taking back my phone?”
“Don't forget who's house you're living in, who's food you're eating, who's clothes you're wearing, and who's money you're using.”
“You still have privacy?”
“Is there something shady hidden in your phone? Give it to me now!”
… … … …
“Oh, you're quite generous, spending 300 yuan to buy this kind of thing for your little goddess.”
“You've never spent so much money on us, your parents, in all your life.”
“Everyone, take a look! Our son is doing well, stealing money from home to give treasures to pretty goddesses outside!”
“You've been coughing since you were little, and we spent so much money to treat you. Is this how you repay us?”
“You said you didn't want to go out to work and wanted to be a big streamer, so we bought you a computer and let you stream at home.”
“You didn't even earn back the electricity bill after streaming for half a year, but we didn't blame you and even found you a good job.”
“But you only worked three days and loafed for two, either being late or sleeping at work. Yesterday, you even took the whole day off without reason!”
“The house is a mess, and you don't even bother to clean it up. If we say a few words, you get angry and run away from home to find wild women outside.”
“Tell me, what exactly do you want to do! Are you trying to force us to death!”
Seeing these scenes and hearing these sounds…
Indescribable pain swept over them.
They never expected…
That these two seemingly pitiful parents were actually monsters who ate people without spitting out bones!
Wen He had never done anything wrong, but they always tormented him in various ways.
The cold and biting words were hard to imagine coming from a mother's mouth.
They even fabricated rumors to slander Wen He.
The father, also a man, could give him a resounding slap in public.
Every single thing Cheng Yudie showed shocked them.
It was hard to imagine that they were actually a family.
Anyone who didn't know would think Wen He was the son of an enemy.
Moreover…
Most importantly, all the money Wen He earned had to be handed over to them!
Even Wen He's wildly popular Douyin account belonged to Father Wen!
In other words, even if Wen He is now the most popular and strongest influencer on the entire internet.
He is still so poor that he is penniless.
If Gao Chongting hadn't stepped in to squeeze 20,000 yuan out of Wen He's boss, Wen He really wouldn't have been able to produce any money.
“You two damned things, do you deserve the title of 'parents'? You still want forgiveness? I spit on you! You don't deserve it!?”
“No wonder all the songs Wen He sings have a strange sadness to them. It's all because of you two! You know you're wrong? You know shit! You're just afraid that Wen He, this cash cow, will run away!”
“So disgusting, Wen He is your own son! Your own flesh and blood! You sent him to that kind of sweatshop to exploit him, and you don't even leave him with the slightest bit of privacy. Are you really human?”
“To think that I was just speaking up for you, I feel disgusted.”
The few people in the production team were numb after watching everything.
Their eyes were red, and they didn't care about their status anymore. They just cursed at Father Wen and Mother Wen.
They had seen cold-blooded people, but they had never seen such cold-blooded people.
Calling them beasts was an insult to beasts.
Even beasts know how to protect their young.
“Let's reschedule the cooperation for another time. We were wrong this time. I apologize to you.” The director apologized to Wen He.
It was thanks to his experience in society that he didn't easily believe one side of the story.
But the director didn't expect that even though he had been so careful, he was still used as a pawn by Father Wen and Mother Wen.
If he had told Wen He from the beginning that he would bring Father Wen and Mother Wen over, today's events wouldn't have happened.
Everyone's emotions are bad.
In this situation, let alone talking about cooperation, Wen He's temper was already very good for not directly turning his face the moment he saw Father Wen and Mother Wen enter the door.
“It's okay.” Wen He responded softly.
“If you need legal assistance, you can tell me. We are backed by Tencent and have a very strong judicial system, which will definitely be helpful to you.” The director quickly showed his goodwill.
“Thank you for your kindness, but I already have a lawyer.”
“Hello, I am Gao Chongting, Wen He's lawyer, and also Wen He's old fan.” Gao Chongting friendly extended his hand.
“Hello, hello, to be honest, I am also Wen He's fan.” The director shook hands and smiled, and in order to avoid an awkward silence, he immediately said, “Let's change places and have dinner first.”
“Okay, okay, I'm just hungry.” Cheng Yudie couldn't wait to leave here and responded quickly.
After watching those things, everyone looked at Father Wen and Mother Wen like they were plague gods.
After all, seeing their faces would cause discomfort, as if their presence would make emotions worse and the atmosphere more depressing.
“He… I know it's too late to say anything now…”
“We just want a small chance, a chance to prove that we have turned over a new leaf…”
“For the sake of us being a family… Dad begs you… give us one last chance…”
At this moment, Father Wen also knelt down.
A man will only choose to abandon his dignity and kneel to beg when he is truly desperate.
Wen He looked at his father.
He seemed to have aged a lot.
There were many more white hairs on his head, wrinkles had accumulated at the corners of his eyes, he lowered his head, and his voice was full of pleading.
Just like…
“If I find out you lied to me, you should know what the consequences will be.”
“I'll give you one last chance, take it out, don't force me to do it.”
[“Dad… can I keep twenty… I just want twenty… please…”]
Slap!
“Don't bargain with me, give it to me when I tell you to.”
… … … …
Just like when Wen He once begged him to leave him twenty yuan.
So pitiful, so humble, so cowardly.
“I don't need you to turn over a new leaf. I have already found the light that belongs to me. Your love and warmth, I don't care about.”
Wen He said in a cold voice, and then left here with everyone without looking back.
And this sentence completely shattered their last hope.
Father Wen and Mother Wen sat there with a dejected expression, their eyes dim.
Not long after Wen He and the others left.
Gao Chongting returned alone.
“Don't be dazed, if you don't want to go to jail, you might as well give me some benefits.” He said.
Hearing this, Father Wen and Mother Wen trembled suddenly, and looked up at Gao Chongting.
“What do you mean!?” They seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw.
“You also saw that we have enough evidence in our hands to sentence you, and I am bound to be Wen He's lawyer. If you can offer me a price that satisfies me, I will withdraw most of the charges against you. How about it, want to talk?” Gao Chongting smiled lightly.
“Yes, yes, yes!” Light shone in Father Wen and Mother Wen's eyes once again.
