My Wife, The Ice Queen President

Chapter 171: Chapter 0171 Dong Xuan’s Documentary (Part 1)_1
 

Ye Xiong stood on the stage.

“I have specially made a documentary for President Dong, documenting her legendary life. Please look at the big screen,” he said.

With a gesture, the big screen lit up, displaying the photo of a beautiful woman.

It was indeed a portrait photo of Dong Xuan when she was young.

“I have a bad habit,” Ye Xiong continued. “I don’t like being interrupted. While I’m sharing with you all, I hope you won’t interrupt me. Thank you for your cooperation.”

Having finished speaking, Ye Xiong pressed the remote control in his hand, and an image of a civilian area appeared on the big screen.

“In 1975, on March 21, our beautiful Miss Dong Xuan was born into a poor family on Erzhai Road in Yundong District of Zhangjia City, Huduong Province. Her father, Dong Qiang, was a sanitation worker. What’s a sanitation worker? That’s someone you call when your toilet is clogged to clear it.”

Hearing him describe it this way, Dong Xuan’s face turned pale, and she shouted loudly, “Ye Jun, that’s enough, I don’t need to show others any documentary.”

She felt vaguely uneasy because she had done too many bad things in her life. Although all were secretive, it was hard to ensure that Ye Xiong wasn’t aware of them.

“President Dong, don’t be anxious. The real drama is yet to come!”

Ye Xiong said to the noisy crowd below: “Could you please not look at President Dong with such eyes? What’s wrong with being born into poverty or having a father who’s a sanitation worker? Her father earned money through his own labor, he didn’t steal, didn’t rob, didn’t break the law. What right do you have to look down on President Dong with contempt?”

This speech, ostensibly defending Dong Xuan, actually cut her to the quick.

Ask yourself, does anyone truly not care if their father is a sanitation worker?

There might be some, but Dong Xuan definitely wasn’t one of them.

Below the stage, Tang Ning shivered and said to Yang Xinyi, “In this lifetime, anyone who becomes an enemy of my brother-in-law is doomed to a tragic fate. This guy is too evil.”

Watching Ye Xiong eloquently carry on above, Dong Xuan felt a mix of shock and urgency, yet unable to stop him, making her incredibly frustrated.

She could only look towards Ye Yuandong with a pleading gaze.

But Ye Yuandong was immersed in the joy of his son’s miraculous return to life, thinking about how to resolve the conflict with his son, and had completely forgotten everything around him.

Ye Xiong continued.

“A father who was a sanitation worker, a mother who set up a street stall – the poverty didn’t make President Dong feel ashamed; on the contrary, it spurred her fighting spirit. She swore that one day, she would make something of herself.”

Ye Xiong’s voice was very calm, without any extremism, as if he was a lecturer hired by Dong Xuan herself.

The screen shifted to show two schools, one elementary and one middle school.

“These are pictures of the elementary and middle schools where President Dong studied. As you can see, President Dong knew her family was poor and without connections, so reading was the only way to change her fate. She was extremely diligent at school, often the first to arrive and the last to leave, and her test results in elementary, junior high, and high school were always at the top of her class, with award-winning photos as evidence.”

“After graduating from high school, President Dong was admitted to the film academy, becoming a student of the performing arts and starting her acting career. It was during this time that she met the first man in her life.”

A picture of a man appeared on the photo.

“I believe some people here recognize this man; he was a well-known actor at the time, a rising star in the industry.”

“As young love blossomed, during a thunderous, rainy night, Wang Junyu couldn’t make it home from his rental place. It was at this time that the two had their first taste of the forbidden… actually, it wasn’t forbidden, they were both adults, which is quite normal. Unfortunately, after several more such encounters… sorry, there’s that word ‘forbidden’ again. President Dong unfortunately discovered that she was pregnant.”

“The two discussed it, and President Dong made a monumental decision in her life. She decided to give birth to her daughter, rather than choose to lie on an operating table like other actresses who got pregnant. After ten months, she gave birth to a lovely daughter, who is Miss Ye Tongtong. Oh, that’s right, she used to be called Wang Yangyang, not Ye Tongtong.”

“Just for the courage Dong Xuan showed in not having an abortion, giving birth to her daughter, I applaud her,”

Ye Xiong said and was the first to start clapping. Inspired by him, the audience began to clap as well.

Many people were captivated by his speech and Dong Xuan’s story, even more curious to hear what came next.

Even more wanted to know how Dong Xuan met Ye Yuandong, and how she eventually defeated his wife Qiao Mei’ling to become Ye Yuandong’s second wife.

“Isn’t that actor Wang Junyu? He seems to have been arrested for drug use,” someone in the audience seemed to recognize the actor.

“Originally, President Dong was supposed to be lucky. Her husband was a famous actor with a bright future. Who would have thought she’d encounter such trouble.”

“After her husband was arrested, President Dong lost her source of income and had no choice but to go out and work. Everyone knows, living in Capital City with a child, how difficult that is.”

“President Dong moved away from Capital City, back to her hometown. On overcast days, she carried her daughter, not yet a year old, on her back, drove a tricycle to the farmers’ market to purchase goods, set up a street stall, and didn’t return home till well after midnight.”

“This kind of painful life continued for two years. President Dong nearly gave up several times but seeing her daughter sleeping in her arms, she would firmly decide to endure any hardship to give her a good life. It was this belief that filled her with fighting spirit every day.”

“Mr. Ma Yun once said that there is nothing that cannot be sold at a street stall. This saying was proven true by President Dong. Being an intellectual, she was smart and eloquent, and given she carried a child, people felt sorry for her, so her clientele kept growing. Her business boomed, and in just two years, she successfully opened two stores, earning an impressive monthly income, even buying her own house.”

“She thought she was starting life anew, but little did she know that the nightmare had just begun. The man who was arrested for drugs somehow found her.”

At this point, Ye Xiong paused.

The audience went silent, all eyes fixed on him, eagerly waiting for him to continue.

At this moment, Dong Xuan’s face turned pale.

She could never have expected Ye Xiong to have investigated her past so thoroughly.

Remembering that inhuman period of her life, she could no longer bear it and collapsed to the ground.

“Ye Jun, stop, please, I beg you to stop,” she pleaded.

Remembering the darkest moment of her life, Dong Xuan collapsed to the ground.

“The exciting part is just beginning, President Dong, no need to be so impatient!” Ye Xiong said with a smile.

The audience began to sense that something was off. President Dong’s reaction was too intense.

Had something significant happened after the drug-using man came back?

At first, they thought Ye Xiong was sent by the Ye Family to promote Dong Xuan, to boost her worth, but it now seemed completely different.

Because the smell of gunpowder on stage was getting stronger.

This speech, rather than being about praise, seemed more like revenge.

“The exciting moment has arrived.”

Down in the audience, Tang Ning’s fists were clenched tightly.

Yang Xinyi’s feelings were complex. At this moment, Ye Xiong looked so unfamiliar and so malicious to her!
