Chapter 54: Chapter 54: Hitting the White Lotus Hard (1)
Ming Wan feigned sincerity as she advised, “Mom, don’t show grandma those things.”
Jiang Biyun glanced at Ming Yao, “Forget it, for the sake of your sister pleading on your behalf, I won’t let your grandma see them. Otherwise, she’ll be as livid and upset as I am.”
Ming Wan’s long lashes trembled as she bit her bottom lip, “Sister, I know you were abducted to the mountains when you were young and bear resentment in your heart. It wasn’t easy for us to find you, and then you had to come home to find an additional sister like me. It’s normal for you not to like me, but I’ve always considered you my sister. No matter what excessive things you’ve done, I will always forgive you.”
Ming Yao lazily leaned back on the sofa, and after Ming Wan finished talking, she yawned and drawled, “Are you sure you see me as your sister and never harbored any intentions to harm me?”
“We’re sisters, how could I possibly harm you?”
Ming Yao’s eyebrows lifted slightly, a smile playing on her lips, “What if you could?”
Seeing the smile on Ming Yao’s face that was yet laced with a chill, Ming Wan’s heart skipped a beat.
What did Ming Yao mean by that?
Was she trying to frame her in front of Old Madam Ming?
“Ming Yao, Wanwan is kind-hearted and innocent, how could she possibly harm you? If anyone is to blame, it’s you who has harmed her! No, you have harmed our entire Ming Family. Don’t you see the mess you’ve created?”
Ignoring Jiang Biyun, Ming Yao kept her eyes on Ming Wan, “The last time you seduced my husband, I only slapped you, and mom made me kneel and apologize to you. Now, if you played a part in this cyberbullying attack against me, you’ll have to kneel and apologize too, how about that?”
Kneel and apologize to her?
A cold mockery flashed through Ming Wan’s delicate eyes.
Ming Yao really has some nerve!
“Ming Yao, don’t go too far. What right do you have to make Wanwan kneel and apologize to you?” Jiang Biyun scolded angrily.
With a tilted smile, Ming Yao said, “Mrs. Jiang, why are you panicking, unless you already knew the cyberbullying is related to Ming Wan?”
“Sister, don’t talk nonsense, I’ve been sincerely good to you, how could I possibly harm you?”
“Then what are you afraid of?”
“I…” As Old Madam Ming glanced her way, Ming Wan had no choice but to press on, “I promise you, sister, that if you can’t provide any proof, you’ll have to apologize to me too.”
Ming Yao curved her red lips, “Alright.”
Hearing Ming Yao’s nonchalant tone, as if she could actually produce some evidence, Ming Wan felt a cold sweat on her back.
This good-for-nothing Ming Yao, could she really have caught her in the act?
It can’t be, it can’t be. She had conned her so many times before without her noticing, even going so far as to thank her. There was no way she would find out this time!
Ming Yao snatched the iPad from Jiang Biyun’s hand and handed it to Old Madam Ming, “Grandma, see for yourself, I am indeed trending.”
Jiang Biyun and Ming Wan were slightly stunned by Ming Yao’s action.
Was Ming Yao digging her own grave?
Didn’t she know what kind of mess she was in on the internet?
“Sister, you’d better not let grandma see it, lest it upsets her.”
Old Madam Ming had already seen the latest trending topic.
Her brows furrowed ever tighter, and her complexion grew increasingly grim.
Jiang Biyun and Ming Wan exchanged glances, both seeing the hint of a smile in each other’s eyes.
Ming Yao really liked pushing her luck, thinking just because Old Madam Ming favored her, any mistake she made would be forgiven and tolerated?
She was too full of herself!
“Grandma, sister just wanted to play a good role. She didn’t mean to accompany those directors. It might be that the director felt she wasn’t suitable for the role in ‘Stunningly Beautiful,’ and that could’ve led her to plot against them…”
“Sister, hurry up and apologize to grandma, and say you’ll never do anything to disgrace the Ming Family again…”
Ming Wan hadn’t finished her words when suddenly, a ‘slap’ rang out.
Old Madam Ming had slapped Ming Wan squarely across the face.
