Chapter 372: Big Furry Brother (1)
Xiang Yi’s voice was warm and tender. She took a seat on the stool beside Jiangjiang and ate the candy obediently. “It’s enough.”
Xiang Yi and Jiangjiang’s movements were in sync when they were eating. They were so adorable that they made countless hearts melt.
Xiang Yin’s smile grew wider.
Xiang Yi’s grandmother teased, “Ahh, didn’t someone say that he hasn’t forgiven Xiang Yi?”
Xiang Yin’s expression changed immediately as he stopped smiling and said coldly, “Hmph! Don’t think I’ve forgiven her! Now, she’s at most… 2% forgiven!”
Old Mrs. Xiang said, “You said 1% the other day, and now it’s 2%? So a meal is worth 1%? Well, doesn’t that mean that Bunny will have to cook 98 meals for you before she can be forgiven? Old man, I bet you’re just trying to freeload!”
The netizens watching the livestream were so amused by Old Mrs. Xiang’s words that they burst into laughter.
—— [Hahaha, Grandma Xiang is so good at criticizing him]
—— [Why does Xiang Yi have to be forgiven? What have she done?]
—— [I suddenly think that Grandpa Xiang is the best at being coquettish. Xiang Yi’s brothers really pale in comparison~]
…
In the apartment.
Qin Wanyan, who had recently gone on a hiatus, was watching “Two Under One Roof”, as if she was obsessed and bewitched.
Whenever Xiang Yi was in the frame, she would spam the comments section with hateful comments that was full of sarcasm, cynicism, and criticism as she picked on Xiang Yi incessantly.
‘What right does Xiang Yi have to keep getting more and more famous?’
‘All I did was “accidentally” post those photos and deleted them right after. Yet, I got suspended and was forced to go on a hiatus, resulting in a loss of fame?!’
Hearing the word ‘forgive’ mentioned by Xiang Yin, she sneered and opened the private message chat window with a certain marketing account…
…
The courts in Nancheng.
The court hearing today was broadcast live on the courts’ livestream website.
Qiao Wan, also known as “Guardian of Xiang Yi Who’s the Best Girl in This World” on Weibo, was seated in the courtroom, and she was so nervous that her palms were sweating.
The judge announced the opening of the trial, and the live broadcast began.
In an instant, many viewers swarmed over to watch the livestream. When they saw that the plaintiff’s defense lawyer was Xiang Chen, the comment section suddenly became lively.
—— [Ahhh, Xiang Yi’s big brother looks so good in formal wear!]
—— [This must be the first time in several years that Attorney Xiang has appeared in court, right?]
—— [This is my first time watching a livestream of a court trial. I’m somehow a little nervous.]
The case details were quickly sorted out. Qiao Wanyan’s good friend, Xiao Xu, had scored the highest among all the interviewees for the written screening test during the job application interview, but the company hired a male candidate, who had scored lower than her, allegedly because the company felt that the position was more suitable for men.
The lawyer hired by the defendant company was also very competent and had used the strategy of making Strawman arguments. He was very influential, downplayed the unfavorable points, and chose not to mention the gender issue.
“…In short, the defendant did not refuse admission because of the plaintiff’s gender, but because of the plaintiff’s lack of overall competency.”
Xiao Xu’s face was pale. The failure of the job application had dealt her a great blow.
Now that she had to be struck again, she was physically and psychologically unwell.
Taking advantage of the fact that she was a little out of sorts and disoriented, the company’s representative attacked even more unrestrainedly, “We believe that Miss Xu has a social disorder and as we all know, a severe social disorder is considered a mental illness. The vacant position we had really wasn’t suitable for her…”
In the livestream, some people felt they had a point.
—— [Exactly, how can they hire a time bomb?]
—— [Scoring the highest in the written interview doesn’t mean anything, she’s probably just academically inclined but incompetent~]
—— [To be honest, that role is really not suitable for girls. At her age, she might get married and have kids in the next couple of years. Who will bear the losses of the company then?]
