Fang Liu did not expect anyone to donate toward the live stream, so for a moment, she was surprised and at a loss for words. The look of surprise on her face seemed genuine and wholesome, which immediately made the audience adore her even more.
The host then glanced at the data of the live stream and noticed that about one hundred million people were now watching it.
This amount of attention was terrifying. Other celebrity talk shows paled in comparison.
The host began to feel nervous as her palms began to sweat slightly. She could barely suppress the nervousness she felt before continuing to ask Fang Liu a question.
“Is it true that a single parent looked after you before marrying Mr. Mo?”
When Fang Liu thought of Fang Bin and Xu Xiu, her eyes dimmed. She didn’t acknowledge them as her family. Those people were evil in her eyes.
Fang Liu nodded and answered, “My parents got divorced when I was just a child. I rarely saw my mother after that. At that time, I thought that my mother did not care for me anymore, so it made me very depressed. Also, when I was a child, my intellectual development was lacking, and the children my age did not want to play with me. I guess you could say that I had a very lonely childhood.”
The host nodded and felt sympathy toward Fang Liu’s plight. “Then, did your family care for you? As we all know, mentally challenged children need to be treated with extra care, especially from their family members.”
Fang Liu shook her head and replied, “I always felt as though I didn’t belong in that family. My stepmother and stepsister didn’t like me very much, and if it weren’t for the fact that my birth mother had to pay for alimony, my father wouldn’t have let me stay in the house.”
Fang Liu calmly explained her past experiences without expecting anyone to pity her. However, everything she said was true.
Everyone in the chatroom was stunned. It seemed that this pure and angelic woman before them suffered such an unfortunate childhood.
Many people put themselves in Fang Liu’s shoes and tried to imagine being in such an unfortunate situation. They immediately felt pity for Fang Liu. Others would have developed anti-social behavior if they were to experience such a poor upbringing.
However, some people continued to mock Fang Liu in the chatroom.
“Hahaha, even pr*stitutes are good at acting these days.”
“Why should anyone believe you? Do you have any proof?”
“Just because she said it doesn’t mean it’s true. I refuse to believe her.”
The host looked at the comments in the chatroom and was at a loss for a moment.
Meanwhile, Fang Liu noticed this and took the initiative to help the host regain her thoughts. “I know that some people might not believe me and think that I’m lying. But I can’t force them to trust me.”
“I knew it! I told you she was lying!”
“How disgusting. Why are you being so pitiful?”
The ridicule in the chatroom became more intense.
Fang Liu smiled faintly and said, “At that time, most people knew about my lack of intellectual development. But throughout those years, no one in my family had ever helped me with my studies. I never had a tutor either. My past neighbors can attest to this.”
As soon as Fang Liu finished speaking, footage of some reporters interviewing Fang Liu’s neighbors could be seen at the side of the screen displaying the chatroom.
“A tutor? Impossible. The Fang family has never hired a tutor. Fang Liu’s father works all day, and her stepmother is either shopping or gambling. They have never taken care of Fang Liu. Fang Yan is beautiful, but I pity Fang Liu. When she was just a child, Fang Liu would be locked up in her room. When I would pass by their backyard, I would see her sadly looking out of her window.”
“Fang Yan and my son were classmates. He told me that Fang Yan would always mock her stepsister, and she would even pass around embarrassing pictures of Fang Liu all over the classroom.”
“I once heard Fang Bin arguing with his ex-wife about visiting fees. I heard Fang Bin telling his ex-wife that she needed to pay a visiting fee every time she wanted to see Fang Liu. His ex-wife would have to pay a total of three hundred thousand yuan just for a chance to see her daughter. I always wondered why Fang Bin’s ex-wife was constantly giving him so much money.”
The neighbors were nosy and had the habit of gossiping. They all witnessed everything that happened in the Fang family home. The neighbors knew how poorly the Fang family treated Fang Liu.
However, they didn’t have the right to interfere with other people’s family matters, so they kept their distance.
But now, they were finally able to speak about what they’ve witnessed over the years. Fang Liu’s neighbors were defending her, vaguely seeking justice for Fang Liu.
Two kind-hearted old ladies, Fang Liu’s neighbors, let out a long sigh as they spoke.
“We feel sorry for Fang Liu. She had been locked up ever since she was a child. She was so petite and skinny. Although her intellectual development was lacking, it wasn’t her fault.. How could the Fang family treat her so poorly?”
