Everyone was stunned by Shen Zihao’s words.
The video had been posted on Weibo, however, it hadn’t spread too quickly.
Mei Feng was no celebrity and, moreover, there was no mention of who she was. Hence, there were no more than 10 000 views.
Hence, Qiao Lian, Shen Liangchuan and the rest had not seen it yet.
Xia Yehua was also taken aback when she saw the video. “Who- who posted this?”
“Who posted it? Besides you, who else could it be?!” He sneered, “At this point surely you can stop acting innocent!”
He turned to glance at Mei Feng and saw that she had turned pale. She stared at the video with a look of disbelief. Then she clenched her fists, as though she was suffering some great humiliation. Her body tottered like she was about to pass out.
This made Shen Zihao’s heart ache even more.
He turned back to Xia Yehua and said, “It’s already shameful enough to have to kneel before someone, why do you have to be so cruel?”
Xia Yehua frowned and protested, “I did not post the video!”
As she said this, they heard a noise at the door. Everyone turned simultaneously towards the sound. Then Shen Xiu dashed in.
He had a big scowl on his face and his expression was clouded over. The moment he came in, he looked at Mei Feng and sighed with relief when he saw that she was unharmed. Then he turned back to look at Xia Yehua angrily, saying, “So this was your plan! You want to torment Feng by pressing these charges against me?! How could you be so despicable?!”
One by one, the people spoke up and claimed that Xia Yehua had released the video.
The woman gave an icy smile and said, “I’ve said it. I did not release the video!”
Her gaze fell on Shen Zihao as she asked him, “So I forced her to get down on her knees?”
Shen Zihao choked on his words.
Immediately Mei Feng said, “No, I did it willingly.”
“I forced her to come here?”
Mei Feng quickly shook her head and replied, “No, I came on my own accord.”
“And so?” Xia Yehua fixed her gaze on the other woman. “I didn’t even know she was coming today. So how would I be prepared for posting an online video?”
She fixed her eyes on Shen Zihao once more and said, “What can I do if she suddenly turns up and kneels at my doorstep? If I’m evil just because she turns up to kneel at my doorstep, then would it make her evil if I knelt before her now too?”
“It’s very simple logic, don’t you understand?!”
Shen Zihao narrowed his eyes.
Almost at once, Mei Feng started to tear up. She hung her head and started to sniff, her body trembling from the cold.
She said, “Zihao’s father is a proud man, of course I came here to—”
Shen Xiu nodded and interrupted, “That’s right, the only person in our family who’d lower herself to come begging would be her. How could you not have expected that? Weren’t you just waiting for this to happen, and that’s why you didn’t agree when Zihao asked yesterday?!”
“But this time, you’ve overstepped your boundaries.”
Xia Yehua ignored him and continued to look at Shen Zihao. She asked him, “Would you rather believe them and not me?”
He frowned and said, “The video was posted from this location. Apart from all of you, who else is there?”
Xia Yehua looked terribly hurt.
Qiao Lian quickly stepped towards her and held her.
Although Xia Yehua did not speak further, it was obvious that she was extremely upset.
Shen Zihao narrowed his eyes as he looked at her.
At this point, Shen Liangchuan took one step forward. Looking straight at Shen Zihao, he said, “Besides us, there is her!”
He raised his arm as he said this and pointed at Mei Feng.
Stunned, Shen Zihao asked, “What do you mean?”
