Chapter 160: Tell It To the Police
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Xing Shu, I wasn’t thinking about the donations. You’re too sensitive.” Xing Linlin pretended to be aggrieved as she lowered her head and supported Wu Minxia like a victim. However, everyone had just seen the spreadsheets and could not empathize with Xing Linlin’s current performance. But, Xing Linlin had indeed made the donations—she was a kind person…
Xing Shu said, “Xing Linlin, save your energy and tell it to the police. Whatever grievances you have.”
Xing Linlin felt like she was hallucinating. Police? What police?
Amid the confusion, a voice emanated from the door. A few police officers walked in and stood in front of Xing Linlin, “Xing Linlin, please come with us.”
Xing Linlin’s eyes widened and she took a step back in disbelief. Why? Why were the police looking for her? She quickly calmed down and forced a smile. “Officer, is there a misunderstanding?”
The police officer replied, “There are witnesses and evidence. It’s not a misunderstanding. The charity organization and Miss Xing Shu made a police report with regards to the donations to Radiant Welfare Home and proved that you committed fraud. It was Miss Xing Shu who donated to the charity organization all these years. Please cooperate with our investigation.”
The charity organization and Xing Shu made a police report? Everyone was completely speechless. It turned out that the person who had been donating to the welfare home was Xing Shu, and not Xing Linlin. Xing Linlin actually stole Xing Shu’s credit and returned to the Xing family with all the glory that was stolen. It was too shameful!
Xing Linlin panicked and did not know what to do. What evidence? That was a few years ago, and the charity organization did not know at that time. Why did it suddenly… Her mind was in a mess, and her body was trembling. The clamor around her was deafening.
“How shameless. It turns out that the donor has always been Xing Shu, not
Xing Linlin.”
“So, not only did Xing Linlin change Xing Shu’s name to her own, but she even mocked Xing Shu sarcastically for not donating to the welfare home even though she was rich? How could she have the cheek?”
“I’ve finally seen what it means to be thick-skinned today. Xing Linlin is too hypocritical. I can’t believe a word she says. Also, the Xing family has been biased and leaning towards Xing Linlin all the way. I now believe what Xing Shu said is true. The Xing family has never treated her as a daughter all these years!”
Xing Linlin felt the world spin. She wished she could find a hole to hide in. Why was this happening?! She had deliberately mentioned the donations just now to make everyone have a good impression of her. In the end, Xing Shu actually furnished evidence and called the police! Was this b*tch tying to ruin
Xing Linlin’s lips were trembling. She did not dare to raise her head to look at the people around her. She only felt that the gazes of those people were like knives that cut her entire body. She was completely flustered, especially when she thought about how Cheng Lang had seen her in such a sorry state. She could not accept it. She bit her lips fiercely, and her mouth was filled with the smell of blood. She did not expect that she would be the most humiliated person tonight.
In the crowd, Xing Guotai’s face was thunderous. He wished he could chase away all the guests.
“Xing Linlin, please come with us.” The police urged her again. Xing Linlin could not help but look at Xing Guotai. “Dad…”
Xing Guotai felt extremely humiliated, but the police had already come knocking on the door. What else could he say? The Xing family’s reputation was completely ruined today! Xing Linlin did not even dare to breathe loudly. She wished she could shrink back and hide. Today was supposed to be her glorious day, but she did not expect everything to be ruined. In the future— when everyone thought of her—they would think of her humiliation at the banquet today. Xing Linlin’s tears flowed from the corners of her eyes. It was Xing Shu. It was Xing Shu who ruined her!
At this point, no one spoke up for Xing Linlin, including Cheng Xingyang.
Cheng Xingyang felt his face burning. Xing Linlin had actually faked donations. It turned out that the person who had been donating to the welfare home was Xing Shu… Why would such a wonderful Xing Linlin do such a thing? Cheng Xingyang felt his worldview shatter.
Xing Linlin finally remembered Cheng Xingyang. She quickly cried, “Cheng Xingyang…” Her face was innocent, and her voice was choked as if she was not the one who was in the wrong.
Cheng Xingyang stood in the crowd, at a loss.
When Xing Shu saw Cheng Xingyang and Xing Linlin looking at each other, she could not help but snort. “Cheng Xingyang, I forgot to mention just now that since I’m not the daughter of the Xing family, our engagement is annulled. You love Xing Linlin so much.. Now that she’s in trouble—as her fiancé—you would protect her, right?”
