Chapter 178 Completely End the Adoption Relationship!
After the dating reality show ended, the continuous exposure made advertisers hesitant to hire Su Qi as a spokesperson, because...
Most of the consumers who come into contact with these products are not involved in the entertainment industry, so they naturally don't know the identities and backgrounds of these celebrities. They simply assume that the two main characters in the online rumors of a sibling relationship are real siblings.
If advertisers use Su Qi at this critical juncture, it would be tantamount to supporting this taboo relationship, and the brand image would be irretrievable.
Su Qi sighed repeatedly, and Li Yancheng couldn't think of a solution either, so he took out a card from his bag: "It's just ten million, right? I'll give it to you."
Li Yancheng shoved the card into her hand, and a little while later, Xu Xiaowan arrived as well.
Xu Xiaowan waved to Li Haidao, then looked at everyone: "So many people are here."
Xu Xiaowan took out a check from her bag: "I heard you're short of money. How much? I'll help you out. It's important to resolve this scandal."
Su Qi almost didn't react: "This... it's not much different, and we don't need so many people..."
"Hi, we're all friends."
"Take it!" Xu Xiaowan shoved the check into her hand.
I'm so touched!
Feifei adjusted her expression to one of tears.
I'm so touched that my master has made so many kind friends in this world.
Although Su Qi is indeed in a hurry for money, she still can't bring herself to take someone else's money empty-handed.
"It's okay, I have other ideas."
"What other options do you have?" A cold, sharp voice rang out from outside the glass door, growing clearer and clearer.
“I know you don’t want to accept help from others, so…” Shen Chaohuai walked in and handed over a case closure notice.
"I issued a lawyer's letter in your name to all those who spread rumors online, and I was awarded 20 million in compensation, which was deposited into your account. Take a look for yourself."
Su Qi picked up the list from his hand: "It's just enough, with ten million left over."
She was pleasantly surprised and looked at Shen Chaohuai with an expression of admiration: "How did you come up with this method..."
Shen Chaohuai shook his head and laughed: "It was just a rumor to begin with. It will fall apart on its own if we take it to court."
"As for Zheng Ran, you'll handle that."
[Please note that you have raised 300 million yuan. Please handle the scandal.]
The event that "ruins Zheng Ran's reputation" has been triggered.
This special event is a necessary condition for advancing to the next rank.
[Additionally, you will gain significant public recognition after the "termination of adoption" incident concludes.]
"In short, ending the adoption relationship will resolve the scandal."
"However, I need an opportunity to promote myself extensively in public."
Does the master want the whole country to know?
"Of course, Zheng Ran incited people who are not involved in the circle and are unaware of the situation. My goal is to make these people aware of the truth."
【Well... Singapore has a video streaming app used by hundreds of millions of people, why don't you just use that app to stream?】
Su Qi loosened his grip on his chin: "Let's do it this way."
Live broadcast of the termination of the adoption relationship!
At the entrance of the orphanage in Shanbei District, Gangcheng City, Su Qi, along with Lin En and her team, set up recording equipment.
The children in the orphanage climbed to the window and stared blankly at the elegantly dressed woman outside.
"I heard she came from our orphanage?"
"Wow, she's giving up being a pampered heiress to break the adoption agreement? She's insane."
A few kids who are almost adults said, "If you don't know how to enjoy life, then give it to me to enjoy!"
Zhang Huiyun clapped her hands, and the children stood in a line.
"What wishful thinking are you having? How many wealthy families are there in Hong Kong? Do you think everyone will receive your favor?"
Su Qi, wearing a high-slit black silk velvet dress, went directly to the bench in the courtyard and sat down.
The recording equipment has started operating.
A large number of viewers flooded into the live stream.
Isn't this the guy who's involved in some forbidden romance?
The audience was laughing, probably because they thought Su Qi was embarrassing.
Seeing the insults in the live stream, Lynn felt bad too.
Su Qi took out a wad of cash from her bag: "Director, could you tell me who bought the orphanage three years ago?"
Zhang Huiyun paused for a moment: "This... these kinds of things are usually not made public. You just need to pay the penalty for breach of contract."
Su Qi crossed his legs and said, "In other words, the acquisition process may have been irregular, so it cannot be made public."
The viewers in the live stream were quickly stirred up.
Holy crap, is there some inside story?
[Wait, a penalty for breach of contract? Does that mean Su Qi comes from an orphanage...not a member of the Shen family?]
So, there's no such thing as a sibling relationship at all? We've all been fooled!
[Damn it, who leaked the first news?!]
[I remember now, wasn't that guy from the Zheng family the one who was exposed as the head of the dating reality show? He's not an investor at all! He's using Su Qi's situation to divert attention from auditions!]
[No wonder I never heard anything about what happened to Zheng Ran afterward; it turns out it was all covered up by Su Qi's situation! I thought Young Master Zheng was a good person.]
【Aaaaaah, the house has collapsed! My beloved Zheng Gongzi's house has collapsed too!】
[Zheng Ran isn't a celebrity, so this isn't a scandal; it was expected.]
Unable to wait for the orphanage's acquirer to appear, Su Qi could only throw the remaining money at the orphanage's gate and publicly reveal the agreement signed between the Shen family and the orphanage when they adopted Su Qi.
"Isn't it just a lack of money? So they're willing to sacrifice a girl's future to ensure the peace of the entire orphanage."
"Since you're so short of money, I'll just consider this a beggar's treat. Take it and get out!"
Su Qi stood up, and the recording stopped at that moment.
Wow, this woman is so cool!
Su Qi is so principled! A role model for us all!
The system alerted that public awareness was rising, and at the same time, the adoption agreement was exposed, causing a huge uproar across the internet.
There are as many as eighty unequal agreements, which are still in effect even after the Shen family members die, and Su Qi is obligated to support the orphanage.
However, now that Su Qi has chosen the path of breaching the contract, he will no longer be restrained.
Why is Su Qi still required to compensate the orphanage? Isn't this an unfair contract term? The Shen family is too ruthless!
Spending 300 million is more worthwhile than giving someone a few million a month for a lifetime!
That's right! I support terminating the adoption!
[Waaaaah, congratulations on escaping this sea of suffering, sister!]
Su Qi rushed to the next venue without stopping.
The Gangcheng Court led Su Qi to visit her adoptive parents.
Of course, after their last meeting, Su Qi no longer had any connection with her adoptive parents.
Even without Su Qi's team's live broadcast, numerous media outlets were already waiting near the prison.
As the lights came on and off, Su Qi had never seen such a dazzling display. The adoption relationship was forcibly terminated, and the two people in the prison finally signed the papers under pressure.
The moment she stepped out of the courtroom, facing a sea of lights shining on her, she felt relaxed.
"Ms. Su, what are your plans for the future?"
"Yes, now that the adoption is terminated, you're a free person, right?"
With tears welling in her eyes, Su Qi said in front of the camera, "From now on, I will focus on acting, work hard, earn money, and live the life I want."
The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause, and all the numerical values displayed on the screen surged exponentially in an almost overwhelming manner.
