Chapter 6: If You Want to Accuse Me of Cheating, You Need to Provide the Evidence

Part One of Three

Still refusing to yield?

Even at this point, Zhao Qiang still would not soften his stance, and Li Fengying was so furious that her face turned bright red.

Li Fengying hurriedly shot Liu Tianming a look, and he immediately understood.

"My sister stayed with him straight after graduating. She shared the hardships, did the laundry, cooked the meals, and even gave him two adorable children."

"Who would have thought that my brother-in-law, no, that piece of trash, would secretly get involved with another woman behind my sister's back?"

"It's truly not worth it for my sister to have married such a scoundrel."

After hearing all this, Zhao Qiang still did not change expression. Such cheap tricks could no longer provoke him.

"Are you done?"

Everyone was already outraged, yet Zhao Qiang still stood there quietly, watching this family perform.

He could not help but shake his head. Their acting was far too obvious.

"I am not finished yet. What exactly did my sister ever do to wrong you, for you to commit something so revolting?"

"She bore you children and raised them for you, while you were out messing around. You often did not come home half the night, staying in bars until dawn. Are you even human?"

When Liu Tianming finished, Zhao Qiang even clapped openly in front of everyone.

"Excellent!"

Wonderful, truly wonderful.

The Liu family had performed magnificently, so vivid and lifelike, as though it had all really happened.

Even he did not know he had done so many vile things. Listening to them, he sounded disgustingly awful.

Everyone was dumbfounded. Even now, he was still applauding.

How big did this man's heart have to be? And he was even laughing. This was far too arrogant.

"Zhao Qiang, you're still applauding? Do you have no shame toward my sister?"

Liu Tianming was burning with rage. After saying so much, Zhao Qiang had shown no reaction at all.

A scumbag acting this brazenly was simply intolerable.

Did law and justice not exist anymore?

Chu Siqi was also flushed with anger at this moment, wanting to help this family get justice.

She had seen scumbags admit fault before, and she had seen scumbags stay silent before.

But this was the first time she had seen one so shamelessly arrogant.

Not only her, but her livestream screen was exploding as well.

A storm of abuse poured across it, every word a condemnation.

The fury was so intense it seemed sparks might burst out, and it was only a matter of time before someone jumped out of the livestream and beat him up.

"Zhao Qiang, you are not getting away today. Since I ran into this, I am going to see it through."

"I will expose you and make sure you can never hold your head up again for the rest of your life."

Chu Siqi gritted her teeth in hatred. She had once been hurt by a scumbag herself, so she felt this all the more deeply.

"My family matters have nothing to do with you, a livestream host!"

"Let me ask you, who are you, sticking your nose into other people's business here?"

"You say I am a scumbag, and that makes me a scumbag? What proof do you have?"

Zhao Qiang laughed into the livestream camera, guessing she was just some female internet celebrity looking for attention.

Li Fengying wanted to borrow the crowd's voice to force him into obediently taking the fall.

But today, provoking him was like kicking a steel plate.

"The lady has already said it, so there must be proof. You still want to deny it?"

Part Two of Three

Chu Siqi had never seen such a hard-mouthed unfaithful man. This was already ironclad evidence.

"Have her produce the proof: photos, videos, recordings, or chat logs of my affair."

"As long as she can prove I cheated, I will immediately kneel and apologize to their family."

Zhao Qiang listed every kind of proof that could demonstrate an affair. Any one of them would do.

For these past few years, he had been wholly devoted to Liu Ruyan.

No absurd cheating, no leaving work to go straight home, and even on holidays he stayed at home with Liu Ruyan.

There were not even any women in the office at his company. He would like to see how Li Fengying planned to fabricate this.

He had nothing to feel guilty about toward Liu Ruyan; in fact, he had given her all the best things he could.

It would have been one thing to deceive his feelings, but they had also deceived his money.

His parents' savings, earned through decades of hard labor, had been completely drained into the hands of the Liu family.

"Fine, just wait. You can prepare to kneel and apologize!"

"Madam, bring out the proof. Let the viewers and everyone else see how this scumbag tries to wriggle out of it."

Chu Siqi hurried over to Li Fengying. For the sake of letting her fans see the truth, she had thrown caution to the wind.

Today, she absolutely had to make this scumbag confess, and most importantly, she was now trapped in a position where she could not retreat.

With so many viewers watching, if Zhao Qiang turned out not to be a scumbag, how would she explain herself?

How would she continue making a living online after this? So no matter what, she had to get the proof.

"Th-this... what proof am I supposed to bring out, girl?"

"Exactly, the proof that Zhao Qiang cheated."

"Madam, since he has no shame anyway, then let's not leave him any face."

"This..."

Seeing Chu Siqi's expectant expression, Li Fengying immediately fell into hesitation.

She had casually blurted out that Zhao Qiang had cheated, but she had never intended to back it up.

How was she supposed to produce evidence? There was no such thing at all.

"No way, could it be that this lady really can't produce anything?"

"If she can't, then why call someone a scumbag and a faithless bastard?"

At that moment, doubt rose across the screen, question marks everywhere.

"Madam, what is it?"

Chu Siqi's outstretched hand hung there awkwardly, uncertain whether she should withdraw it.

This family's expressions and manner of speech did not seem fake, but without evidence, it would not do.

Li Fengying's expression darkened. Where was she supposed to find any proof?

"What is it? My dear mother-in-law, could it be that you have no evidence at all?"

"You must have grasped something important before you dared say I cheated!"

"With nothing at all, you are just making baseless accusations, aren't you?"

Zhao Qiang folded his arms across his chest and looked at Li Fengying with utter disdain, a mocking smile curling at his lips.

"If you are going to make things up, at least make them convincing. Otherwise the holes show everywhere."

"My dear mother-in-law, your acting is not bad, but your brain is not up to the task."

"Your story does not hold together from start to finish. You probably cannot pin the label of scumbag and faithless bastard on me."

"And you, this female internet celebrity, stop following rumors blindly."

"Just because someone says I am a scumbag, do you really take me for one?"

Zhao Qiang spared no one, not even this female influencer.

She had been perfectly fine, then suddenly gone mad and started attacking him.

Now that she was being slapped in the face by the truth, she had only herself to blame. Should she just stand by quietly and watch?

Since she had joined in, then he would not be polite.

Chu Siqi's face reddened with embarrassment. She had never imagined things would develop to this point.

Now the entire screen was questioning her, suspecting that she was only riding the wave of attention.

Because she was, in fact, riding the wave of attention, only she had not expected things to go wrong.

Still, she forced herself to remain calm and said to Li Fengying, "Madam, think carefully again. You must have evidence, right?"

"Girl, stop filming me."

Li Fengying was so anxious that her face turned red. With no other choice, she could only back away.

She was afraid now. She no longer had the moral high ground, and truly did not dare face that camera.

"Oh? So without evidence, you just call me a faithless bastard and make up rumors out of thin air?"

Zhao Qiang struck while the iron was hot. If not now, then when?

Li Fengying was left speechless by his counterattack and kept retreating until she hid herself away.

"I do have it. I saw it with my own eyes. Could that possibly be fake?"

Liu Hongliang's voice immediately drew everyone's attention. In his heart, he cursed Li Fengying for being stupid.

Why not just say he abandoned his wife and children?

Why insist on saying Zhao Qiang cheated? Zhao Qiang was a homebody. To accuse him of cheating was harder than reaching the sky.

"I secretly followed him. He sneaked off with a woman to a hotel."

"It was a long while before they came out, and everyone saw it clearly."

"I did not take photos, but I saw it with my own eyes. How could that be false?"

Liu Hongliang spoke with great confidence, as though he had witnessed it personally.

With so many people watching, if he could not make the story fit, he would make a complete fool of himself.

"You said you saw me with another woman, is that right?"

"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. You two shameless dogs were all over each other."

"In broad daylight, you did such a thing. In a room, who knows what more sordid things you did."

"I truly feel sorry for my daughter. She married a wretch like you."

Liu Hongliang's voice grew even louder than before, making his words sound all the more convincing.

Zhao Qiang, having lived a second life, found the Liu family's words utterly illogical.

In his previous life, how had he ever managed to believe their lies?

Just thinking about it felt absurd. It was simply too absurd.

"You went to a hotel, did you? Which hotel? Where is it?"

"This..."

"Surely you know which room, at least?"

"This..."

"The hotel should have surveillance, and there should be a record of me checking in, right?"

Liu Hongliang was rendered speechless by Zhao Qiang's rapid-fire questions. He had merely spoken offhand and had never thought about what came after.
