Miss Wang Yun is the only daughter of the Anlin Mayor, so unless she had gone mad, there was no way she would present such a birthday gift.
Wen Liangyu’s expression was bound to be anything but pleasant.
The clods of earth and dead twigs, it was as though they were implying that he was already a withered tree, and at his age, he should be thinking about resting in peace.
"Grandpa Wen! You must believe me! The birthday gift I gave you was a rare ginseng my father and mother sought everywhere, which can prolong life! I hope Grandpa Wen lives a long and healthy life!"
Wang Yun hastily said.
"So what you’re saying is... someone framed you by switching your birthday gift?"
At this moment, the one who spoke was the unruly Zhongli Wuzhi.
Stroking his chin, he watched Wang Yun with a relaxed air.
Wang Yun nodded fervently like she had grasped a lifeline, "Yes, yes!"
"Then... who among the guests at this banquet does Miss Wang think would frame you?"
Zhongli Wuzhi smiled faintly, his fox-like eyes narrowing with mockery.
Wang Yun’s expression stiffened slightly as she swallowed hard. So many faces, so many eyes, so many mouths...
They were watching her, sneering at her, reaching their conclusions without care...
It seemed they all knew the birthday gift wasn’t brought by her, and yet not one of them truly cared about who had actually framed her...
Only eighteen years old, Wang Yun suddenly felt dizzy.
From a corner not too far away, Wang Yun saw Song Xiangqiao and Song Lili.
Song Xiangqiao’s complexion was awful; she dared not meet Wang Yun’s eyes, while beside her, Song Lili, clad in an exquisite dress and wearing only a pair of wedge heels, had a figure that could make anyone green with envy...
Song Lili... was looking at her with an almost expressionless face, but the coldness in her eyes was unabashed.
"It was Song Lili! Just before Grandpa Wen arrived, I saw her sneaking up to the second floor alone!"
Wang Yun pointed at Song Lili and yelled out!
Her sharp, youthful voice pulled Song Lili back into everyone’s gaze.
And as Wang Yun shouted out, Song Xiangqiao closed her eyes, knowing... Wang Yun had fallen into a trap dug by Song Lili.
Song Lili stood there fearlessly.
Wen Liangyu and Xiao Ziyan’s gazes also fell on her...
Song Lili calmly explained,
"I don’t understand what Miss Wang is talking about."
Wang Yun’s eyes reddened as she pointed at Song Lili, shouting,
"It was you! It was you who swapped my birthday gift! You wanted to frame me! Just because we had a private clash, you held a grudge against me and wanted me to face disgrace at such a grand occasion as Grandpa Wen’s birthday!"
Wang Yun pointed directly at Song Lili, her finger nearly touching Song Lili’s nose.
Song Lili stood ramrod straight, not moving a muscle. She calmly repeated,
"Miss Wang, I really don’t know what you are talking about."
"You’re acting! Song Lili, everyone here knows what kind of person you are! Ever since your father remarried, you have always bullied your stepsister and glared at your stepmother, making your father live unhappily for years! You’re nothing but a selfish ghost!"
Song Lili’s eyebrows raised ever so slightly, yet she said nothing, only gazing steadily at her.
Wang Yun, still so young, couldn’t handle such a situation and was shouting and screaming like a childish kid at play...
