Sure enough, Gong Xuanqi’s remarks that homosexuality was a disease set off a war of words on the Internet. Some people thought that Gong Xuanqi was right, homosexuality was indeed disgusting; while others thought that he was narrow-minded and unworthy of being a leader.
Foreign media also got involved and wrote a blockbuster report with a red headline – “Surprise!” China’s presidential candidate is anti-gay! The current situation of human rights in China is worrying.”
The normally united Chinese people immediately stopped arguing, and unanimously pointed their guns at the Internet, explaining over and over again that China’s human rights were the most inclusive and freest human rights in the world, and that China would never persecute vulnerable groups.
There was an uproar online, and Zhuang Li, one of the parties involved, was surrounded by a group of reporters, asking him what his relationship with Le Zhengming was and why Gong Xuanqi made such accusations.
“Maybe he wanted to use the cloak of homosexuality to cover up the relationship between Zhu Miaomiao and me.” Zhuang Li smiled bitterly at the camera.
The reporters became excited, their eyes glowing green.
Now everyone knew that Zhu Miaomiao was Zhu Jianrui’s mother; Zhu Jianrui was Gong Xuanlin’s son. These three people had not formed a family, but their blood relationship was certain. But how they got involved and how many entanglements they experienced, no one could find out.
The Gong family used their overwhelming power to cover up this past. Not many people even knew that Zhu Jianrui took over MIK and it went bankrupt that same night. Everyone only dared to spread the word privately.
But the situation was different now. They could see the situation that Gong Xuanqi was over, but Le Zhengming was in the limelight, and he may even be able to become the head of state in two months. His chief security officer exposed the Gong family’s information in public. Were they going to eat this or not?
Even a fool knew that this melon must be eaten! First, the people liked it, and second, it could sell Le Zhengming well.
There was no difference between political struggle and real war. For the winner, the crown was the best reward; for the loser, leaving the game alone was the most merciful ending, and more people would be trapped in scandal and get their reputation ruined.
So the reporters raised their microphones and asked frantically: “Excuse me, why did Mr. Zhuang say this? What is your relationship with Zhu Miaomiao?”
“She was my wife. We had a fourteen-year marriage. I also watched Zhu Jianrui grow up. We were a family of three…” At this point, Zhuang Li’s eyes turned slightly red, and he couldn’t help but become too choked up to continue.
He smiled helplessly, waved his hands tiredly, and then walked away through the crowd under the escort of a group of bodyguards.
The reporters were excited. After returning to the newspaper office, they dug into the past of Zhu Miaomiao and Zhuang Li, and then they were horrified to find that—f**k, this woman was a bit too good, wasn’t she? Zhu Jianrui was actually conceived by her and Gong Xuanlin when she was eighteen years old! In order to give birth to an illegitimate son from a wealthy family who might help her obtain tens of billions of assets, she broke up with her parents and found Zhuang Li as her caretaker.
Zhuang Li had a crush on her for nineteen years. He married her even though he knew the child was not his and worked hard to support the mother and son.
But in the blink of an eye, Zhu Miaomiao betrayed the marriage and ran away with her son.
Zhuang Li had been using Weibo to record every detail of Zhu Miaomiao and Zhu Jianrui’s life, from high school to university to work, without interruption for fourteen years. He used vivid brushwork and beautiful photos to convey his happiness and joy to the world. It could be seen that he loved his wife and son very much, and there was absolutely no way he was gay.
His honesty, loyalty, deep feelings and no regrets further highlighted Zhu Miaomiao’s money worshipping and Zhu Jianrui’s ruthlessness.
These black materials were slowly unearthed by reporters and posted online.
The public had gained further awareness of the ugly face of the Gong family.
But it was not over yet. An intern working at a law firm actually filmed the divorce agreement between Zhuang Li and Zhu Miaomiao and posted it online. The consumption list, which was two centimeters thick and densely printed with numbers, shocked everyone.
No wonder Gong Xuanlin called Zhu Miaomiao a gold-worshipping girl and threatened not to marry her for the rest of her life. Just don’t marry. Such a luxurious and wasteful woman was really rare in the world. Zhuang Li earned more than 10,000 yuan a month, which was not enough for her to spend. He also had to take on a lot of private work every day. He had to be busy until three or four in the middle of the night before he could afford her exaggerated consumption.
Did she think she was a princess?
And the good son she raised clearly stated in the divorce document that he would sever his father-son relationship with Zhuang Li. Whoever had money could be his father, right?
Like mother, like son!
Public anger was completely ignited by these black materials. Some people may not care much about national affairs, but this kind of family ethics tragedy was something that everyone liked to watch. The Gong family’s reputation was completely ruined and there was no way to clean it up. The scandal between Zhuang Li and Le Zhengming was self-defeating.
Gong Xuanqi, who was sent to the hospital to recuperate, was making calls on his mobile phone. He must seek the forgiveness of those elders in the shortest possible time.
Sure enough, his party asked him to withdraw from the election, but he sternly refused, “I will not withdraw. The affair between Le Zhengming and Zhuang Li is true. Zhuang Li is a hacker, he can change videos into emoticons, I was tricked by him. Give me a little more time and I will be able to find out their weaknesses. I am in good health and there is no need for a physical examination.”
After hanging up the phone, he lay on the bed and closed his eyes to rest, but the violent rise and fall of his chest betrayed his inner unrest.
The staff of the public relations team whispered: “Mr. Gong, public opinion is very unfavorable to you now. Zhu Miaomiao’s case has been dug out, and the public has great doubts about the Gong family’s family situation.”
“Let me take a look.” Gong Xuanqi opened his eyes, filled with an evil aura.
The staff handed him the phone, but he saw a video automatically pop up on the screen, it was Zhuang Li.
Zhuang Li raised his phone above his head with one hand and took a picture of himself from top to bottom. He put his arm around Le Zhengming’s neck and reminded with a smile: “Look here.”
Gong Xuanqi was shocked and angry, but still looked straight at them.
Then, Zhuang Li stood up on tiptoes and kissed Le Zhengming’s thin lips. Le Zhengming was stunned for a moment, then opened his mouth and kissed back ferociously. The two of them were intertwined as if no one else was around, and were extremely intimate with each other, as if they were both going to die in the next second.
This picture may seem beautiful, powerful, and scorching to others; but to Gong Xuanqi, it was a great insult and provocation.
His throat was so sweet that he almost vomited blood, and his head exploded with a bang. Without thinking, he sent this video to everyone in his address book, with the accompanying text: [Take a good look, this is the video of Le Zhengming and Zhuang Li showing their true colors! They are so shameless!]
The security officer reached out to stop him, but it was still a step too late.
