Chapter 923 Retired Special Forces Bodyguard Falls in Love with Drama Queen Superstar (34)
Zhou Bo has presided over so many family reunification searches, but he has never met someone as heartless as Shen Shuyi.
At first, he thought the search for his relatives would go smoothly, after all, Shen Shuyi was a big star and a public figure who cared about her image.
Even if you don't want to admit it in your heart, you'll still admit it on the surface, and it won't cost you much money.
If she doesn't admit it and is accused of being unfilial, those big names will still work with her. If her reputation is ruined, her acting career will be over!
Zhou Bo considered himself generous enough to give Shen Shuyi another chance.
“Miss Shen, look, they’ve all admitted their mistakes and regretted it. As their daughter, shouldn’t you forgive your parents for their little mistake?”
"No one is perfect, everyone makes mistakes."
Shen Shuyi spoke calmly and unhurriedly.
“This has nothing to do with whether I forgive or not. I’m a straightforward person and I don’t say one thing to your face and another behind your back. I can’t accept someone who abandoned me.”
“In my more than 20 years of life, they were never involved, never raised me, never nurtured me. Other children had their parents come to parent-teacher conferences, but I didn’t. Who could I turn to for justice back then?”
Zhou Bo walked around on the stage, gesturing with his hands, and speaking in an aggressive tone.
“Miss Shen, if you want to live a happy life, you should accept your biological parents.”
Is it really that difficult to recognize them and call them "Dad" and "Mom"?
“You will have your own children in the future, and you should set an example for your children and your fans.”
"Be a kind and generous person, not a cold and mean one."
“Your biological parents are getting older every day. You should bring them to live with you and take care of them so that they can spend their old age in peace.”
Shen Shuyi brushed a strand of hair behind her ear. "Reporter Zhou, I have a question for you."
"Miss Shen, please speak." Zhou Bo saw a glimmer of hope and was secretly excited.
Shen Shuyi's gaze was calm, yet it gave people a feeling of seeing through people's hearts.
“I’ve heard that reporter Zhou has helped many children reunite with their biological parents. There are a few cases similar to mine, where the children were given away to relatives or people in the same village to raise after they were born.”
"After you helped them reunite with their relatives, have you looked into their current lives?"
"Are those children you persuaded to reunite with their families living happy lives now?"
Zhou Bo was speechless.
How could he possibly know about those things!
Helping a child reunite with their family is already a great achievement!
He has a lot to do; who would bother to find out or track him down?
Shen Shuyi pressed further, "Reporter Zhou, haven't you looked into this?"
"If you don't understand them, why are you so sure that I'll find happiness if I acknowledge them as my family?"
This statement immediately drew a barrage of mockery in the live chat.
[Please, Mr. Zhou, this famous reporter, take these two elderly people home to live out their days.]
[Don't advise others to do good if you haven't experienced their suffering.]
[This is outrageous! I suggest they arrest him and prosecute him for abandonment.]
[If any Buddha thinks Shen Shuyi is heartless, then he should take the two elders home to care for them.]
[Support Shen Shuyi. These parents look at you like you're their enemy. Even if you acknowledge them back, they'll think it's only right, that you owe them.]
[Of course I have to support my parents! Why wouldn't I? Two hundred yuan a month in spicy snacks should be enough, lol]
[They're getting all the spicy snacks for free; how heartless must they be to abandon their own flesh and blood?]
Zhou Bo waved his hand, "Ms. Shen, you're changing the subject. The issue now is whether or not you acknowledge your parents."
Shen Shuyi replied firmly, "I don't acknowledge it."
"Besides, I'm not trying to change the subject. Speaking of changing the subject, why don't you answer, Reporter Zhou? Because you never care whether the children are doing well or not. You only think about your own program and how you can make a lot of money and reputation through your family-finding program." "Coincidentally, I have a survey here."
"I will post the investigation into the follow-up situation of the children you helped reunite with online so that everyone can see whether they are truly happy."
"Could you please help me upload this file online?"
In less than five minutes, the entire internet was abuzz.
The children who were reunited with their families with Zhou Bo's help mostly became blood donation bags for their parents and siblings.
Not only do they have to support their parents, but they also have to contribute money and effort to buy houses and help their younger brothers get married, leaving them feeling overwhelmed.
These girls were given away for adoption or abandoned when they were young. When they grew up and were reunited with their parents, they ended up like this. Doesn't this have anything to do with the moral blackmail by people like Zhou Bo?
Zhou Bo was furious and embarrassed. "Miss Shen, what you're doing is far too selfish. I kindly helped you find your relatives, and you not only refuse to acknowledge them, but you also turn around and accuse me."
Liu Mei rushed forward, crying, trying to grab Shen Shuyi's clothes and hug her, but Jin Sen forcefully stopped her.
"My daughter, how could you be so heartless?"
Just then, a man in a suit strode onto the stage, holding a document in his hand, and said to Liu Mei and the others:
“I am Ms. Shen Shuyi’s lawyer. You abandoned her back then, causing serious harm to her physical and mental health. My client is now suffering from depression, and her doctor has clearly advised her to avoid emotional stimulation.”
"From both a legal and moral standpoint, the court will prioritize protecting the physical and mental health of my client."
Looking at the angry and helpless Mr. and Mrs. Shen, the lawyer continued, "Furthermore, you are suspected of abandonment, and my client reserves the right to pursue your legal responsibility."
“If you continue to harass us and maliciously defame us, we will immediately file a lawsuit to pursue your criminal and civil liabilities.”
The Shen couple slumped to the ground, wanting to continue their tantrum but unable to do so. Zhou Bo, holding the microphone, looked embarrassed, his face turning pale and then red.
Shen Shuyi glanced at the Shen couple, walked to Dean Xu's side, took Dean Xu's arm, and nodded slightly to the camera.
"I, Shen Shuyi, will never acknowledge anyone who has abandoned me in my lifetime."
"As for those who have ulterior motives and are manipulating all of this behind the scenes, I will find them and take them back."
This farce has come to a complete end, and the production team is filled with regret. They initially thought they could get viewership, but now they almost got burned by the demand and the show couldn't even be broadcast.
Fearing the show would be canceled, the production team quickly gave the guests a half-day rest and planned to resume the dating activities the next day.
Shen Shuyi returned to her room, sat on the sofa, hugged her knees, and lowered her head.
Jin Sen sat down next to her and hugged her. "Miss, are you alright?"
Shen Shuyi raised her head. She had been strong and brave in the face of her biological parents' moral blackmail and their aggressive behavior. She handled everything with a straight face and even smiled as she saw the dean off.
It wasn't until she returned to this small, unnoticed space that her emotions surfaced and her eyes reddened.
"Jin Sen, I will never have any parents or siblings again."
“You still have me, Miss. I will always be by your side.” Jin Sen pulled her onto his lap.
Jin Sen gently rocked her body, kissed her cheek, and told her about his retirement.
