PFC Chapter 887: The Biting Begins
Chapter 887: The Biting Begins
Without a wife and children, what is he doing living in such a big house all by himself?
Lu Jiangting gave a bitter laugh, lay down on the sofa, and closed his eyes again.
The chaotic images and cacophony of sounds surged towards him once more like a tidal wave.
"It's him, a hypocrite."
He cheated on his wife under the guise of taking care of his comrade's widow, and even after his wife's body was barely cold, he wanted to marry his mistress.
"Pah! What mistress? This old lady is sixty years old. The wife is still alive, and she's already moving into her house."
"That old woman is so shameless."
"This old man has really weird tastes."
A jumble of noises overwhelmed Lu Jiangting and Fang Qing. Lu Jiangting looked around at the people in horror.
They surrounded him and Fang Qing, initially just cursing and filming with their phones.
Later, someone started pushing and shoving them, and no one knows who started it.
Fang Qing was so anxious that she kept crying and hiding behind him.
He was also scared. Coupled with his age and the recent online bullying, he was devastated and his heart couldn't take it, causing him to fall straight backward.
“Jiang Ting…” Fang Qing hurriedly went to help him up.
Those who had been cursing them were also frightened, realizing that the two were old men they couldn't afford to offend, and they all quickly backed away.
"It has nothing to do with me. I didn't run into him. You can be my witness."
“If you didn’t run into him, then I didn’t run into him either. You should also be my witness.”
"Alright, alright, we'll vouch for each other. None of us touched him; he fell down on his own."
All the people who were trying to stop them ran away.
When Lu Jiangting woke up again, he found himself in the hospital.
There was no one in front of his hospital bed. He didn't know where Fang Qing was, or whether his daughter and son-in-law had come to see him.
Lu Jiangting picked up his phone, intending to call his daughter, but then he saw a trending topic about him and clicked on it.
Then it got out of control, with all sorts of reports about him, Fang Qing, and their daughter and son-in-law.
The truth, mixed with fabricated content from marketing accounts, has cemented his and Fang Qing's place on the pillory of shame.
The father and daughter previously gained a lot of popularity by leveraging online traffic.
He portrayed himself as a hero who cared for the widow and orphan of his comrade-in-arms for many years, and the marriage of his daughter and Chenchen fulfilled his brotherhood with Jianjun, moving netizens to tears.
They became incredibly popular as a result, and even stole a 200 million yuan order from their competitor.
That rival was Fu Huaiyi's niece.
Fu Huaiyi, to avenge his niece, disregarded their years of friendship and tore away the shameful pretense between him and Fang Qing.
They went viral with massive traffic, which is why they received that order.
The other party also used traffic to cripple their business, causing them to lose orders and face various order cancellations, and they are currently on the verge of bankruptcy.
Lu Jiangting continued clicking through their family's posts and suddenly saw a statement posted by his daughter, Lu Miaomiao.
In an effort to protect herself, she even used the company's official website to issue a personal statement announcing that she would sever ties with Lu Jiangting.
Right now... right now, she even started a live stream herself...
Lu Jiangting trembled as he clicked into Lu Miaomiao's live stream. He saw her facing the camera, tearfully recounting her years-long entanglement with Fang Qing and the hardships her mother had endured.
She said that not only her mother, but also her marriage was a victim of his gratitude.
Their entire lives were spent paving the way for Fang Qing and her son.
She said her mother always said her father had a hard life and advised her to just bear with it. But now that her mother has passed away, she doesn't want to bear it anymore.
The hospital staff said those words to make her mother pass away peacefully.
She hated her father, and she also hated her weak mother.
She not only wanted to sever ties with her father, but also wanted to divorce Wang Chenchen.
Her tearful performance reversed her public image in the live stream, with most viewers now supporting her.
At the same time, they not only cursed him as a scumbag father, but also said that Yuyao was a hopeless piece of trash who had been a coward all his life and had even dragged his daughter down with him.
After the live stream ended, the video was posted online.
Soon after, it went viral again, and every comment made his blood boil.
Of course, most of the criticism was directed at him and Fang Qing, calling him a scumbag and a mistress.
His affair with Fang Qing was laid bare in the open.
But he didn't think he was wrong. Over the years, he had never had any feelings for Fang Qing. Now, he wanted to be Fang Qing's companion in his old age, just to live together and take care of each other.
Fang Qing is already a sixty-year-old woman, could she possibly still be interested in such trivial matters as men and women?
He was obsessed with the ultimate pursuit of technology and had absolutely no interest in matters of the heart.
But none of these people understood him.
Of course, besides the insults directed at him and Fang Qing, there were also many insults directed at Yu Yao.
'That generation was like that; they were so good at being self-pitying.'
"They won't get a divorce. They'd rather drink poison and die as ghosts than divorce and become human beings."
'Fine, fine, if she wants to be a lowly servant, she can be one herself. Why drag my daughter into it?'
'Why? Because she's not a man, and those kinds of women are super into men.'
"What's so surprising? There's an aunt in our village who was beaten into a cripple but still won't get a divorce."
My aunt would rather leave her entire fortune to my brother than to her daughter. My cousin is an only child due to the family policy, but she's so pitiful…
'My aunt...'
'My grandma...'
'My mom…'
More and more people from that generation are having their unbearable lives posted in the comments section by their sons, daughters, grandsons, granddaughters, nephews, nieces, and nieces, for everyone to criticize.
In the end, it all boils down to one sentence.
'Being born into the womb of someone like this is truly the worst luck imaginable.'
There were also many more offensive and abusive comments. Lu Jiangting couldn't bear to look anymore. He shakily shut down the internet and then called Lu Miaomiao.
"You were just live streaming?"
"Yes, you saw it."
"Yes, I saw it, how could you do this..."
Lu Miaomiao interrupted him directly, "I'm going to the hospital right away, I'll talk to you in a bit."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Lu Jiangting was very angry. When he saw Lu Miaomiao come in, he smashed the fruit on the small table next to him.
"You bastard, do you even know what you said in the live stream?"
Lu Miaomiao said calmly, "Of course I know, you saw it all. I also know you'll be upset, but what can I do? You and that shameless old woman Fang Qing ruined everything, what can I do?"
She showed him the company reports on her phone, saying, "Look, my company is facing huge compensation claims and is about to go bankrupt. If I don't do something to salvage my personal image, I'm finished."
Lu Jiangting looked at her in disbelief, "So, in order to salvage your public image, you just spouted nonsense in the live stream?"
Lu Miaomiao sneered, "Ha, I'm talking nonsense? Do you mean... I'm talking about your scandalous affair with Fang Qing, or about you forcing me to marry Wang Chenchen?"
