Chapter 8 — The Day I Stopped Fasting, They Lost Everything

Those who were still defending indignantly, now only had shock and shock on their faces. Luu Ngoc Mai and Chu Le's faces turned white in the blink of an eye. The two of them were like stone statues standing frozen in place, their whole bodies trembling uncontrollably. They could not have imagined that the private conversation between mother and daughter would be exposed to the entire public like that. But that's not the end, it's all just an appetizer for a big party. My father lightly snapped his fingers, and the LED screen behind him immediately switched to the next video. That was the camera in front of my house, in the picture Luu Ngoc Mai and Chu Le looked like two market women, kicking and banging on the door, cursing without restraint. Right after that, the video I shot with my phone appeared, Chu Le rushed at me like crazy, and Luu Ngoc Mai beat and bit the security guard, the whole process was clear to every detail. All of their ugly, greedy, and unruly faces were stripped bare. The crowd seemed to explode in an instant, the chatter turned into fierce anger.

“Oh my god, it turned out to be a scam!”

“This whole family is really shameless!”

“Just now I thought they were pitiful, really blind!”

The criticism poured in like a wave, crashing straight into mother and daughter. Flash lights flashed continuously, recording their panicked, distorted faces. At that moment, a desperate scream rang out from the crowd. Chu Hao finally rushed to the scene, just in time to hear the entire recording that left him paralyzed. He had also just witnessed the madness of his mother and sister. He stood there, as if struck by lightning, the entire gaze of the world focused on him. Scorn, ridicule, indignation, all poured down at once, turning his life into a public execution. In just a moment, everything completely collapsed. Chu Hao's appearance pushed the whole incident to its climax, he was like a clown stripped of his disguise, crucified on a humiliating pole. The crowd began to lose control, some even threw water bottles and leaflets at them.

“You scammer, go away!”

“Scum of society!”

“Give the money back to Ms. Hua!”

Luu Ngoc Mai could not bear this shock and humiliation, this time she actually fainted. Chu Le completely collapsed, screamed loudly and rushed towards the LED screen as if wanting to destroy everything.

"No! It's all fake! They slandered us!"

The security guard immediately controlled her and held her tightly to prevent further trouble. My father stood on the stage, his cold eyes looking down at the broken family. He held the microphone, his voice carrying the power of a final verdict.

“Gentlemen, this is the end of the drama.”

"For the acts of fraud, slander and disorder of Luu Ngoc Mai's family."

“We have reported to the police, and believe that the law will bring justice.”

“Thank you.”

Having finished speaking, he turned and left, and was escorted by bodyguards into the company. Leaving behind a mess and three people nailed to indelible shame. The police quickly arrived, took Liu Ngoc Mai unconscious, Chu Le crazy and Chu Hao absent. The drama of "demanding rights" was created by them, and finally ended by being escorted in disgrace. Online public opinion also reversed Completely overnight. The recording and video spread at a terrifying speed, taking over every platform.

“The biggest twist of the year: the ‘evil rich woman’ turns out to be the perfect victim.”

“Classic ex-lover ex-lover reveal.”

“Your mother is scheming and digging her own grave.”

All topics climb straight to the top of searches. The names of Chu Hao, Liu Yumei and Zhou Li became symbols of shamelessness and greed. Their personal information was thoroughly dug up, from address to workplace, everything was made public. What awaits them ahead is only social death with no way out. In the days that followed, bad news continued to arrive. Chu Hao's company immediately fired him to avoid involvement, and at the same time issued an official announcement. The landlord where they rented also read the news and kicked them out that night. Court summons and debt collection papers from the bank continuously arrive like snowfall. The debt of 388,000 yuan was enforced. All their accounts are frozen. After just one night, a seemingly stable family completely disintegrated, leaving them with nothing. I don't care about them anymore.
