"Someone is definitely stirring up trouble here!"
Every eye in the venue converged on Mrs. Han without prior arrangement.
The Old Lady signaled to Nanny Chen with a meaningful look, and Nanny Chen immediately called out, "Security, throw this troublemaking woman out!"
The hotel’s security, upon receiving the order, swiftly surrounded Mrs. Han from all sides, ready to restrain her.
"Don’t touch me!" Mrs. Han suddenly shouted at the Old Lady, "Old Madam, you’ve been a savvy veteran in the world for many years, yet you’ve been completely fooled by a little girl and don’t even realize it."
Nanny Chen rebuked, "Lin Han, what on earth are you trying to say?"
"What I’m trying to say..." Mrs. Han gestured dramatically in front of everyone and then abruptly pointed at Ye Shu, "This little bitch isn’t pregnant at all; she’s just faking it to win the Old Lady’s favor. How can such a woman, who even dares to deceive the Sheng Family Patriarch, qualify to be the Smart Girl Class Leader? She doesn’t meet the fundamental requirement of ’a Smart Girl must be unconditionally loyal to the Sheng Family’!"
"You’re spouting nonsense!" Bai Yueru immediately stood up, "Mom, don’t listen to that mad woman’s rambling. She’s just jealous because her own daughter lost to Ye Shu and is now blindly slandering her!"
"Oh, Mrs. Sheng, why so anxious? Could it be that you already knew about Ye Shu’s fake pregnancy? If that’s the case, then you’re in cahoots with Ye Shu for deceiving the Old Madam—you’re an accomplice!"
"Hmph, absolute nonsense!" Bai Yueru’s face changed color with anger, "Security, get her out of here! Now!"
Mrs. Han, desperate, cried out to the Old Lady, "Old Madam, I’m not lying, every word is true, I have evidence!"
"Wait!" The Old Madam looked gravely at Ye Shu and Bai Yueru before staring at Mrs. Han, "You say Ye Shu is faking her pregnancy to deceive me, what evidence do you have?"
"Of course, I have evidence!" Mrs. Han pulled out an exquisite box, "This is top-grade concentrated crab powder I bought at a high price. Now everyone finally knows why the soup was so delicious, right? Yes, it was me who secretly poured an entire box of crab powder into the soup pot when no one in the kitchen was paying attention, making the taste so exquisitely delicious."
Bai Yueru asked, "What are you trying to say, exactly?"
"Why are you in such a hurry, Mrs. Sheng? The Old Madam hasn’t even spoken yet, and you’re already raising your voice!" Mrs. Han continued, "What I’m saying is, while ordinary people who drink soup with crab powder won’t have any side effects and will even benefit from its beauty effects, a pregnant woman who drinks soup laced with top-grade concentrated crab powder would experience contractions, leading to a miscarriage! But look, Ye Shu just had a big bowl and yet, like everyone else, she’s completely fine. Doesn’t that prove she’s faking her pregnancy?"
Bai Yueru’s complexion greatly changed and she immediately stood up to defend Ye Shu, "Mom, don’t listen to that crazy woman’s nonsense. I know Ye Shu’s character; she would never deceive us!"
"Is it that she wouldn’t deceive you, or wouldn’t deceive me?" The Old Lady’s expression turned exceedingly ugly, her eyes emitting a cold brightness as she fixated on Ye Shu’s face, "Ye Shu, tell me the truth, are you pregnant or not?"
Ye Shu was frightened and stammered, "Grandma, actually, I..."
"Humph, so that means Lin Han is right?" The Old Lady flew into a rage and stood up abruptly, "Someone, tie up Ye Shu for me!"
