I never thought my mother was so capable of telling lies, and in front of so many people.
Many people may not be able to speak so fluently under such circumstances even if they rehearse and memorize the manuscript in advance, but my mother can.
Since my mother was the first to complain, and because human lives were at stake, all the reporters and lifeguards naturally sided with her.
These people didn't want to listen to my explanation at all, and didn't even give me a chance to speak. They directly started to accuse me, asking me to quickly admit my mistakes, change my ways, and start a new life.
"Young man, you can't do this. You are a man. How can you be so jealous?"
"Yes, young man, you should apologize to your mother quickly and persuade her not to think too hard. You should also reflect on your behavior."
"Young man, you are a man. Whatever you want, you have to work hard to get it, instead of always thinking about hurting your loved ones. This is not acceptable."
"How could you, a young man, do such a cruel thing at such a young age? Please apologize to your mother immediately!"
"It's not too late to turn back now."
I'm really at a loss for words and don't know what to say to explain these things clearly.
Because what my mother just said has left a first impression in the minds of these people. They have already concluded that I am an unfilial son who is ignorant, insatiable and greedy.
So no matter what I say they won't listen at all.
Seeing that the situation was one-sided, with the help of other people's opinions, my mother began to question me.
"Lin Qiao, since you are here now and there are so many people around, you might as well give me a happy word."
"Are you willing to let go of your biological brother, and are you willing to let our family continue to live well?"
"You have only two choices. If you agree, I will go down from here. We are still a family. If you refuse, I will jump off the building now!"
I never expected that my mother would be so shameless, but now I finally understand.
The video call she made to me threatening me to jump off the building was actually a trap she set up for me. Maybe even the reporters present were called by my mother.
She just wanted to make the matter bigger, make it known to everyone, even make it appear on TV, and then use her own life to force me to submit.
Otherwise, she could completely ruin my reputation. If she really jumped from the building, I would not be able to escape even if I jumped into the Yellow River.
After all, there is a saying that goes well: When a person is about to die, his words are also good.
At that time, no one would believe any of my explanations. In their eyes, I was an unfilial son who forced his biological mother to death.
"Young man, if you still have any conscience, please quickly agree to your mother's request."
"This is a matter of life and death. Young man, stop being so stupid. Do you want to force your biological mother to death?"
Others were also helping to persuade me. Of course, it was more of persuasion than persuasion.
At this time, my head was about to explode, and the voices of others were like countless sharp swords piercing my heart, making it difficult for me to breathe.
In this situation, I have no choice at all, unless I want to live with the infamy for the rest of my life.
I can only say this to my mother.
"Okay, Mom, can't I promise you that I won't trouble Lin Luo again in the future? Come down from the top as soon as possible."
My mother was not satisfied yet and yelled at me.
"I don't believe you unless you look at those cameras and swear to God!"
In desperation, I could only turn around and look at the reporters' cameras, raise one hand and start swearing to God.
The whole process was extremely painful for me. After saying these words, my mother finally walked down from the rooftop with a satisfied smile.
I didn't want to stay in this place any longer, so I ran downstairs immediately.
In the process of leaving the community, I met many people, some of whom were even neighbors I knew.
However, all of them had the same approach and behavior, that is, they pointed at me after seeing me, and some even spit on me, calling me an unfilial son and a person with no conscience and worse than a beast.
Carrying these infamy, I almost ran away from the place where I once lived.
It wasn't until I came to a street where no one knew me that I finally stopped. Others looked at me out of breath with doubts.
I couldn't stop breathing heavily, everything that had happened replayed over and over in my mind, which made me feel extremely stressed.
It wasn't until I got home that I recovered a little, ate something and relaxed myself.
But I know that I haven't lost yet, because I still have the video of Qin Luoxue in my hands.
His video is my only life-saving straw now to prove my innocence.
The only thing I have to do now is to find an opportunity to make that video public and clarify the facts.
Let everyone understand that I am actually the victim, I am the one who is being persecuted, and I am the most innocent and wronged person.
I had to clarify the facts as soon as possible and draw a clear line with my mother and my brother.
In this way, others will not be able to accuse me and put moral pressure on me.
What I didn't expect was that this opportunity would come so quickly.
In the evening, I suddenly received a call from Qin Luoxue.
Qin Luoxue told me one thing on the phone, and she said it to me at the end.
"Lin Qiao, come to the TV station in half an hour. I'll be waiting for you at the door."
"Well, I'll go right away."
After I hung up the phone, I immediately got dressed and left the house. Qin Luoxue came to see me to participate in a TV program, a program about family relationships and parent-child aspects.
Soon I arrived at the door of the TV station, where Qin Luoxue was already waiting.
After seeing me, she smiled softly and said.
"Everyone who needs to be notified has been notified. Let's go in."
"I have heard what happened this afternoon. Don't worry, everything will be revealed after this show is over."
"No one will scold you anymore, and they will no longer be able to persecute you from the commanding heights of public opinion."
I nodded gently, and then walked into the TV station with Qin Luoxue.
We came to sit in the auditorium near the front. It didn’t take long for the place to be filled with people, and then the show officially started.
Immediately afterwards, my mother and Lin Luo appeared on the show stage.
