Li Jiaojiao glanced at it, at first disbelieving, then as if she understood something, looking as if she just got it.
Everyone was curious, wondering what kind of person would be so despicable.
Upon seeing Jiang Jinchenโs look, Zhu Xiangxiang startled in her heart. Looking at Li Jiaojiao jumping up and down, she got a belated hint of what was happening and instinctively wanted to slip away.
At this moment, someone suddenly grabbed her arm and whispered, โDonโt run. If you do, you wonโt be able to clear your name.โ
Zhu Xiangxiang, who is still just a sixteen-year-old girl, is genuinely thrown into a panic by such an incident. She looked at the woman beside her, gentle and composed, and subconsciously regarded her as a lifeline.
She sobbed out, โWhat should I do?โ
Zhou Ling took note of the girlโs frantic grip on her arm, her skin was quite pale, the spots where she held onto it turned red instantly.
She gently patted the back of Zhu Xiangxiangโs hand, her soft, mellow voice carried a soothing effect, alleviating the fear and unease in Zhu Xiangxiangโs heart bit by bit.
โThe person who creates the problem is the one who has to solve it.โ
She looked at the silent girl in the crowd, her head dropped slightly, revealing her graceful neck line.
She bore the nobility and elegance of a swan and possessed the clarity and calmness of those who have gone through hardships.
Lin Qing instinctively wanted to stop Li Jiaojiao. At the very least, she couldnโt let her make a scene in public. โPerhaps it was someoneโs idea of a joke. Itโs lucky that Miss Li was precautious, and no severe consequence was caused. Letโs drop the matter, and avoid disturbing everyoneโs peace.โ
Li Jiaojiao scoffed, โMadam Zhu, Iโm afraid you have the answer in your heart already. Speak up. Letโs see to what extent a mother can be biased.โ
Lin Qingโs face darkened, warningly glaring at Li Jiaojiao, โMiss Li, itโs better to spare people when possible.โ
The crowd sensed something was off, and a sharp voice suddenly rose,
โSister-in-law, since you know who it is, just say it. Otherwise, itโs not fair to
Ming Jing. If the schemer succeeds, can you imagine what will happen to Ming Jing? Ming Jing is your daughter too.โ
Lin Qing shot an angry stare at Zhu Wenjie.
Zhu Wenjie, who loved adding fuel to the fire, walked over to Ming Jing, held her hand with a face of distress, โMy niece, sheโs been so unfortunate. She was originally the legitimate daughter, whoโd think she would be replaced by an illegitimate child, and spent 16 hard years in a broken temple. Just when her life was starting to look up, she was framed by jealousy. My poor niece, why is your life so hard? Even your own mother isnโt on your side. I, as your aunt, really canโt bear to see this.โ
Ming Jing gently patted Zhu Wenjieโs hand and faintly smiled, โWealth is in heavenโs hands, and each person has their own fate. I donโt feel wronged, so aunt, why do you worry for me?โ ๐๐๐๐๐ฌ๐๐๐ท๐ค๐ซ๐๐ต.๐๐ค๐
Originally, everyone felt sympathy for Ming Jing after hearing Zhu Wenjieโs comments. But now seeing the calm and composed young girl, they couldnโt help but feel admiration.
Itโs rare to see such a mature and clear-headed young girl at her age.
Zhu Wenjie was taken aback, thinking, you sure know how to play the good guy.
โSince Madam Zhu knows who this person is, it means she definitely knows this person. Miss Ming Jing has just returned to Jiangzhou, and she herself is calm and low-ke, unlikely to make enemies. So, from the point of motivation or vested interest, who do you think would like to frame Miss Ming Jing?โ Li Jiaojiao suggested gently.
Everyone looked at one another, obviously there was such a person.
โWhat was your impression of Miss Ming Jing at first? Raised in the countryside? Coarse and unrefined? Illiterate? Stupid and vulgar? Unfit for elegant circles?โ
The crowd felt a bit awkward, especially those gossiping ladies. Seeing the slender young girl standing in the crowd, they really felt embarrassed. If she is considered stupid and vulgar, then all the socialites in Maniianzzhou
should go jump in the river.
Zhu Xiangxiang, the number one socialite, stood next to her, looking completely overshadowed. Wait, where is Zhu Xiangxiang?
โThere was one person who thought the same too. Of course, this was just her own assumption, but when Ming Jing returned to the Zhus and she saw her in person, those who harbored such thoughts found themselves wrong, grievously wrong. Some people are naturally favored by heaven, or it should be said, even if they fall among the common people, a princess is still a princess. While those who usurp othersโ nests, can never change their inherent maliciousness. โ
Li Jiaojiao suddenly looked towards a certain point in the crowd, and sternly said, โZhu Xiangxiang, am I right?โ
The crowd exploded with chatter, making way. Zhu Xiangxiang stood alone, her face pale as a sheet.
Bai Ziyan shook his head with a smirk on his face, when you looked carefully, he was clearly deriving pleasure from someone elseโs misfortune, โWomen, oh women, your name is jealousy.โ
Even though she had mentally prepared herself, when actually faced with this moment, Zhu Xiangxiang couldnโt help feeling terrified, her hands were trembling.
โItโs her? My God, thatโs unimaginableโฆ.โ
โI guessed it was her long ago. Only she has the motive to do this. Actually, I can understand her feelings. The real daughter of the family has returned, and she is so excellent, how could she be indifferent? I just didnโt think she would use such a vicious methodโฆ.โ
โThe education of the Zhus is a complete failure. In contrast, their daughter who was lost has an outstanding temperamentโฆโ.
Listening to the unrestrained discussions around her, Zhu Xiangxiang went paler. She clenched her fist, standing up straight.
Li Jiaojiao scoffed, โWho are you putting on this innocent act for? Jiang Jinchen has already traced the ID, why donโt you come over to see who it is?โ
Zhu Xiangxiang said with a clear face, โBelieving in a wrongdoing gives you an excuse to incriminate.โ
โYou have the nerve to do it but not admit it? Zhu Xiangxiang, you are a coward! The evidence is conclusive, and you cannot deny it.โ
As matters progressed this far, Lin Qing had no choice but to step forward and asked Zhu Xiangxiang, โTell mom, did you do it?โ
Zhu Xiangxiang looked up unbelievably, her lips trembling with emotion. โMom, do you not believe me either?โ
Lin Qing was in a dilemma, she knew Xiangxiang, this child didnโt have the nerve, but only she had the motive, and now there was even evidenceโฆ
โSister-in-law, you should stop covering for her. Uncultured brutes are incapable of gratitude. You looked the wrong way when the outstanding Ming Jing is your own daughter but doted on this illegitimate child instead. Havenโt you heard of the story of the farmer and the snake? I think this one is even more vicious than the snake. She must know how important reputation is to a girl, so she must be both stupid and wicked.โ
Zhu Wenjie was elated, hopping around, almost wishing to directly beat Zhu Xiangxiang to death.
Zhu Xiangxiang remembered Zhou Lingโs words; sure enough, she was redundant in this family. She was nothing more than a tool for the Zhus to gain a good reputation. Once she conflicted with Ming Jing, she would unconditionally be the one abandoned.
Licking her lips, Zhu Xiangxiang looked at the all along quiet Ming Jing, โMing
Jing, do you think I did it too?โfreewebnov(e)l
