Chapter 56: Chapter 56: Hitting the White Lotus Hard (3)
Jiang Biyun’s face turned ashen when she heard the recording between Xiao Yixuan and Ming Wan.
Her first thought wasn’t Ming Wan’s wrongdoing, but the potential impact on Ming Wan’s reputation if this recording were to be made public.
“This isn’t Wanwan’s voice, someone must be impersonating her…”
Ming Yao let out a slight sneer, “Mrs. Jiang, you can’t even recognize your own daughter’s voice?”
Ming Wan felt as though struck by lightning, her beautiful delicate face was tear-stained and as white as frost.
Why had her conversation with Xiao Yixuan been recorded?
Who was eavesdropping on them?
Ming Yao?
Did she have the ability and cunning to do so?
She was nothing but a pretty vase!
With tears blurring her vision, Ming Wan stared at Ming Yao, her voice trembling as if she had suffered a great injustice, “Sister, why are you intentionally framing me? You had someone upload these recordings, didn’t you?”
Ming Yao remained detached and indifferent; in the past, Ming Wan could cry and turn right from wrong, making herself seem like the victim.
But now, Ming Yao wasn’t falling for it.
Ming Yao looked at Old Madam Ming, who was seething with anger, and with a pitiful expression on her bright and charming face, said, “Grandmother, if I had the ability to frame Ming Wan, I wouldn’t have ended up being cyberbullied!”
Ming Wan clenched her lips tightly, a cold gleam flashing through her teary and misty eyes. That bitch Ming Yao, she could actually play the pitiful card now!
Why had she changed so much?
Previously, with a little manipulation, Ming Yao would be compliant and never oppose her.
“Grandmother, I, I never thought Brother Yixuan would truly scheme against my sister. You might not be aware, but my sister and Brother Yixuan loved each other. I thought it was just a moment of anger.”
“Besides, I told Yixuan that it wasn’t right, but if he wouldn’t listen to me, there was nothing I could do! Yixuan and I are just friends, and I only realized he had feelings for me after hearing the recording.”
“I’ve always seen him as a brother and never had the sort of relationship with him that my sister did. Sister, you used to love Brother Yixuan so much, you almost eloped with him after divorcing Fourth Master. Could it be that you did something to hurt him and that’s why he wants to frame you?”
Tsk tsk, listen to White Lotus’s words—not only does she refuse to admit her mistakes, but she also pushes all the blame onto her.
She’s accused of infidelity, of turning against her lover, and it’s all allegedly her own fault. Not only is Ming Wan not to blame, she’s pure and innocent, arousing pity!
A mocking arc formed on Ming Yao’s lips, barely imperceptible.
She tilted her head slightly, giving Ming Wan the appearance of being allowed to continue her speech.
Ming Wan, inherently soft and beautiful, with her pale face wet with pitiable, grievous tears, looked pitiful to the extreme.
Jiang Biyun, already biased towards Ming Wan, was both heartbroken and infuriated to see her looking so devastated and pitiful.
Naturally, she felt sorrow for Ming Wan and anger towards Ming Yao.
Wrapping Ming Wan in her arms, Jiang Biyun glared at Ming Yao with an uncontrollable rage, “Wanwan is not wrong. Xiao Yixuan likes her and helps her willingly. She told Xiao Yixuan not to hurt you, but you couldn’t control your own adulterous husband!”
“You got cuckolded by Fourth Master and fell out with your lover. Instead of reflecting on your problems, you want to drag Wanwan down with you. That’s just too vicious!”
Facing Jiang Biyun’s accusations and partiality, Ming Yao’s expression remained lazy and indifferent, as if she was regarding her as a stranger.
Jiang Biyun was furious at Ming Yao’s attitude.
“Mom, look at Ming Yao, this is how she behaves towards her elders! Fine, disregard my respect, but to think of ruining Wanwan’s reputation—have you considered Starlight Entertainment and Ming Corporation? Do you want to destroy the entire Ming Family?”
With a ‘snap’, Ming Yao threw her phone onto the coffee table, “Mrs. Jiang, there’s a new hot search online, you better look at it. Otherwise, you’ll never understand who is really trying to destroy the Ming Family.”
