Drama Queen Reborn as a Top Student!-Chapter 833 - 384: Farce
"The things our Yu family has done, we will never shirk responsibility, but if you are instructed by someone with ulterior motives to cause trouble at my grandmother’s funeral, defame the Yu family, and keep my grandmother’s spirit from resting peacefully..."
Yu Fusheng’s cold eyes swept over, his words unfinished, but everyone present understood.
They shuddered involuntarily.
The threat was palpable.
However, addressing the matter in front of everyone, without forcibly silencing anyone, was a way to resolve the issue.
Otherwise, the more you try to silence it, the worse the rumors spread behind your back.
Qiao Wan was so intimidated by those eyes that her scalp tingled, but by this point, she had no way out.
"I had no intention of disrupting the old lady’s funeral, but I’m really left with no choice; my life may be worthless, but my child is innocent..."
Qiao Wan seemed to imply that someone was targeting her and her child, leaving her no choice but to take such drastic action?
Everyone instinctively looked at Wei Zhuhua, who was hidden in the shadows, thinking it wasn’t very wise for her, as the family matron, to stay hidden at this moment.
It’s normal for the wife to confront a mistress, something everyone has more or less experienced.
But Wei Zhuhua always presented a gentle and kind image to the public, and the idea that she would harm a child was indeed surprising.
As they say, when a woman is cornered in marriage, she can be as fierce as a rabbit.
But for this woman to make a scene at a funeral and make the Yu family a laughingstock, it shows that Wei Zhuhua’s methods are still lacking.
However, thinking about it from another angle, Qiao Wan is quite smart; if she hadn’t caused this scene, she might have quietly disappeared from this world one day, with no one knowing how she died.
Now, with everyone made aware of the situation, Qiao Wan, being a female star, will draw public attention, and the Yu family won’t have it easy. Wei Zhuhua will have to think twice before acting against her.
Unjustly blamed, Wei Zhuhua noticed the various gazes of sarcasm, pity, and schadenfreude from all directions, yet she remained unmoved.
She wouldn’t admit to things she hadn’t done.
Yu Ruohuan glanced at Wei Zhuhua with a complex expression, a look that contained hidden resentment, seemingly blaming her for her inadequate methods that left behind potential troubles, making both the Yu family and herself lose face today.
That glance chilled Wei Zhuhua more than everyone’s gaze.
Wei Zhuhua stepped out from behind Yu Fusheng, wearing mourning clothes with an unadorned appearance, adding to her frail and pale look.
With delicate eyebrows and eyes, her appearance was classical and elegant, resembling a figure in a Buddhist statue when she looked gently at someone, carrying a sense of benevolence and kindness.
As people looked at Wei Zhuhua, they thought indeed, the crueler a woman is, the gentler her appearance.
This is the sense of contrast.
"You mean someone is trying to harm you?"
Qiao Wan looked at the woman speaking. Before coming, Hong Lei had briefed her about the Yu family’s relationships. Seeing her in mourning clothes, she must be Yu Fuce’s sister-in-law.
Hong Lei had said this woman was kind-hearted, and if she could gain her sympathy, she and her child could have a chance to survive.
"Are you the sister-in-law?"
Filled with excitement, Qiao Wan tried to step forward but was stopped by the guards.
Wei Zhuhua instructed the guards, "Let her go."
The guard glanced at Yu Fusheng, and seeing him nod silently, he released Qiao Wan.
Qiao Wan rushed towards Wei Zhuhua with a terrified and sorrowful expression, "Sister-in-law, everyone says you are the reincarnation of the Bodhisattva Guanyin, the kindest of all. Please save me and my child..."
With that, she fell to her knees with a thud.
Yan Lu sneered, "Tsk, if she used her acting skills righteously, the audience wouldn’t scold her."
Qiao Wan became popular relying on resources, but her acting in dramas was the biggest flaw.
At this moment, she performed her best acting of her life.
Wei Zhuhua frowned, bending down to help her up, "Who is trying to harm you?"
Everyone thought that Wei Zhuhua’s acting wasn’t too bad either.
Qiao Wan gritted her teeth and said, "It’s Mei Qingdai."
Mei Qingdai?
It turned out to be Mei Qingdai!
Only then did everyone realize they had initially assumed that the child’s father was Yu Fusheng, but there was another, Yu Fuce. Compared to Yu Fusheng’s admirable public image, Yu Fuce was the infamous playboy.
Yu Fuce had a low profile recently, which is why everyone didn’t think of him. Rumor had it he had been ill and hospitalized, unable to attend even his grandmother’s funeral.
They mixed it up, made a mistake.
If it was Yu Fuce, no one would be surprised.
The Yu family had not had a child for many years, and Old Mrs. Yu was almost frantic. Upon hearing the news of her granddaughter-in-law’s pregnancy, she was so excited she went to see King Yan. If she found out there was another child, she probably wouldn’t stay quiet in her coffin.
Yu Fusheng quietly let out a sigh of relief.
Yu Ruohuan stood in front of Wei Zhuhua, looking coldly at Qiao Wan, "So, what do you want to say?"
Qiao Wan held her belly, tears streaming down her face, "The father of the child in my belly is Yu Fuce."
Yu Ruohuan sneered, "You say you are pregnant with my second uncle’s child; do you have evidence? Do you think our Yu family is some place where any cat or dog can come and cause trouble?"
"I have evidence."
Qiao Wan took out a stack of photos from her backpack, all intimate private photos of her and Yu Fuce, along with hotel check-in records from two months ago, with surveillance photos from the hotel. The person entering the room was indeed Yu Fuce, along with a pregnancy test result clearly indicating the conception time matched those few days.
Yu Ruohuan waved her hand to knock away her hand, "What kind of evidence is this?"
A gust of wind blew, scattering the photos across the courtyard.
It was hard for everyone not to see those photos.
Admittedly, the photos were quite scandalous, and the two seemed to be having quite the wild time.
These photos showed no signs of forgery, and while not irrefutable evidence, no one could prove the child wasn’t Yu Fuce’s before it was born.
Knowing this young girl was a tough character, Qiao Wan refrained from saying much to her, instead looking at Wei Zhuhua, who had remained silent.
"Sister-in-law..."
As soon as she spoke, Yu Ruohuan slapped her, "Who are you to call my mother sister-in-law?"
The slap was not gentle; Qiao Wan staggered back, and if not for the guard who happened to catch her, she would have fallen to the ground.
Yu Ruohuan’s slap surprised everyone, and they regarded her with a touch of wariness.
Her mother was gentle, so how did she raise such a fierce daughter?
Qiao Wan tasted blood in her mouth, her cheek burning and swollen, her mind blank.
She was fortunate to have taken a Fetal Protection Pill worth a million each before coming, or she might not have endured.
But having reached this point, she couldn’t back down.
"Madam, I beg you, give us mother and child a chance to live. I ask for nothing else, just our safety. This child can be yours, protected by you, to care for you in your old age."
Yu Ruohuan’s face turned dark, instinctively raising her hand.
"You b*tch, so that’s your plan, treating me like I’m dead?"
However, this time, as she raised her hand, it was intercepted in mid-air.
Yu Ruohuan turned her head, incredulous, "Mom..."
Wei Zhuhua released her hand, looking at Qiao Wan, "I understand your intentions in causing this scene. I can assure you, with me here, no one will harm you or your child."
If she didn’t promise, Qiao Wan wouldn’t back down.
Qiao Wan gritted her teeth, "Swear it."
Wei Zhuhua raised her hand, "I, Wei Zhuhua, swear, as long as I’m here, no one can harm Qiao Wan and her child. If I break this oath, may I die a miserable death."
This move by Wei Zhuhua surprised everyone.
Being led by the nose by a desperate madwoman, was Wei Zhuhua too foolish or too kind?
However, on second thought, it’s rumored that her relationship with Mei Qingdai as sisters-in-law wasn’t great, so maybe she was deliberately trying to annoy Mei Qingdai.
Wei Zhuhua said to Qiao Wan, "Now, you should trust me."
Qiao Wan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Wei Zhuhua glanced at her bright red dress, "Go change your clothes, then come pay respects to Grandmother."
In her lifetime, Grandmother cared most about her descendants; knowing she had another grandson would surely make her happy, and hopefully, she wouldn’t blame the disturbance at her funeral.
