Her voice choked with emotion, and intending to take the opportunity to seek justice for the original owner, she continued, "At that time, the orphanage had a particularly bad reputation, and many people were implicated by me, but I was powerless to do anything about it."

I had no choice but to leave the orphanage and find work somewhere no one knew me. I wanted to send my wages back home to make amends for my mistake.

But... every time I didn't work for more than a few days, I would encounter all sorts of unexpected events, and even survival would become a problem. Fortunately, I later met a talent scout who signed me as an artist, and my life became a little better.

Qiao Zihao slammed his chopsticks on the table with a "bang" and said angrily, "Who is that boss?! I'll make him pay! He even bullies orphans! He's inhuman!"

[Oh my god! That's so pitiful! I'm not an orphan, but there's a child from a single-parent family at my school who was also bullied like this!]

I'm an orphan! I have a right to speak! From elementary school onwards, whenever something happened in my class, I was always the first person suspected! But I never did it!

[All you do is play the victim and act pitiful! We won't fall for that!]

It takes two to tango! Shi Xiaxia definitely has a problem too! Otherwise, why would everyone only bully her?!

[Hey upstairs, let me slap you and see if it makes a sound!]

Li Zhiwu slowly ate his food and continued, "Zihao, don't be too impulsive, or you'll be used as a pawn without even realizing it!"

"Why are you beating around the bush, you grown man?!"

Qiao Zihao stood up abruptly and looked at Li Zhiwu, saying, "What did Xiaxia do to offend you? Why are you making such malicious assumptions about her?"

"Malicious speculation?" Li Zhiwu became angry.

He kindly reminded Qiao Zihao, but Qiao Zihao interpreted it as malicious speculation!

"I was doing it for your own good!"

Li Zhiwu didn't want to escalate the situation, so he could only suppress his anger and say, "Don't let yourself be sold out and then not even know it's worth the money!"

"For my own good? I think you're just trying to sow discord!"

Qiao Zihao was still furious and retorted without any politeness: "You didn't understand the cause and effect before you concluded that Xiaxia was lying."

And you told me not to help her? Isn't that just sowing discord? Li Zhiwu! Don't think I don't know what you're up to!

"Isn't it just that Xia Xia revealed she's the Shen family's biological daughter, which damaged Shen Qingqing's reputation? Are you using your status to stand up for Shen Qingqing?!"

Shen Qingqing looked up, her face full of surprise. She opened her mouth to explain.

Shi Xiaxia immediately joined Qiao Zihao in crying: "As expected... as expected, because I'm an orphan, none of you will believe what I say. I should have realized it sooner..."

Shi Xiaxia cried even more miserably: "It's always been like this. It was like this when my classmates accused me of stealing their phones in high school."

Later at the Shen family home, the nanny said that I bullied Qingqing, snatched Qingqing's clothes, and caused Qingqing to get injured, which was the same thing.

No one listened to my explanations or believed a single word I said; they simply concluded that I was the one who did those bad things.

Perhaps it's because I came from an orphanage that there's a stereotype that people from orphanages must be this bad.

[I knew there was a reason Shi Xiaxia didn't return to the Shen family! It seems she suffered too much injustice there!]

[Hugs, Xiaxia! From now on, I'm your biggest fan! I'll always protect you!]

What's wrong with Li Zhiwu?! He's disgusting! What did Xiaxia do to him?!

Can't you see? Shi Xiaxia is pretending to be a green tea b*tch! You've all been fooled by her!

Oh my god! I'm falling in love with Qiao Zihao! He's my go-to mouth double! His words are making my breasts feel sore!

After Shi Xiaxia finished speaking, she gave a miserable smile: "Fine, say whatever you want, I've already accepted my fate."

The two of them, speaking in unison, made Li Zhiwu so angry that his face turned ashen, and even Shen Qingqing's expression changed.

Originally, when Shi Xiaxia revealed her identity, the Shen family could say it was because Shi Xiaxia was of bad character and always caused trouble in the Shen family.

In this way, the Shen family can still save some face.

But now Shi Xiaxia claims she is innocent, that everything is a slander by others, and even uses her vulnerable status as an orphan, which has completely pushed the Shen family into the eye of the storm.

"So...so that's how it is?"

Shen Qingqing stood up, tears streaming down her face. "I'm sorry... Xiaxia, I didn't know... I didn't know... I'm sorry..."

Shen Qingqing was crying pitifully, but Li Zhiwu didn't have time to comfort her.

His mind is completely occupied with the fact that this clip was broadcast, which will definitely damage his reputation!

He was annoyed with himself for speaking too quickly, but he was even more annoyed that Shi Xiaxia and Qiao Zihao took advantage of the situation!

Shi Xiaxia shook her head and comforted Shen Qingqing: "This is not your fault. The Shen family is big and powerful, and they have hired a lot of people. They are very obedient in front of you, so it is natural that you would find it hard to find out."

To put it bluntly, Shi Xiaxia meant that the Shen family didn't treat her well, which is why the nanny and others looked down on her and bullied her in the same way.

Shen Qingqing's expression changed drastically.

She looked at the others with a slightly flustered expression and found that everyone had a serious look on their faces, seemingly not understanding the meaning behind Shi Xiaxia's words.

I really don't understand how Shen Qingqing has the nerve to stay here and apologize to Xiaxia!

What does this have to do with Qingqing's daughter? She's clearly an innocent victim too!

[Alright, alright! I understand now! The Shen family is definitely no good! Not only did they make their own daughter their goddaughter, but they also let the nanny bully her!]

Gao Baiquan didn't want his script to be criticized to death before it even aired.

Therefore, he quickly said, "Brother Wu is straightforward and always says what he thinks. He didn't mean anything by it against Xiaxia. Don't misunderstand!"

After he finished speaking, he nudged Yao Moyan, thinking that Yao Moyan could say a few more words for him.

Unexpectedly, Yao Moyan said, "People from poor backgrounds are indeed more likely to be discriminated against."

When I first joined the crew, I stole the spotlight from the female lead once, and she accused me of stealing her things, using that as an excuse to kick me out of the crew.

At that moment, I felt like dying.

"That's it!"

Shen Yuanshuang deeply sympathized and immediately nodded emphatically, continuing, "When I first joined the crew, I was also constantly targeted..."

Shen Yuanshuang recounted her experience when she first joined the film crew, how she was also tormented by the director and others.

Because of Shen Yuanshuang's interruption, Li Zhiwu completely lost his chance to defend himself.

He slowly sat down, his expression was unpleasant, but he wasn't too worried, since the show was only pre-recorded.

If he could afford to cut that part during editing, he could definitely do so.

His reputation will not be affected.
