Ming Jiaojiao held her phone, tears streaming down her face. She felt so wronged.

At this moment, Jingyan was like the last straw.

She cried, "Jingyan, say something! You don't believe me either, do you?"

"How can you expect me to believe you?" Jing Yan said through gritted teeth, each word dripping with venom. "Are those screenshots online fabricated? Or photoshopped? Why would someone target you and not others? Tell me!"

"Jing Yan..." Ming Jiaojiao's image was completely ruined by her crying. "Yes, I admit, that was my screenshot, but do you understand the reason behind it?"

"Ming Jiaojiao, are you still pretending with me?" Jing Yan's tone was sinister and terrifying, clearly indicating that he was extremely angry.

Ming Jiaojiao cried bitterly, "How could I pretend? Was it my fault that I was forced? Back then, I was just a high school girl. My family didn't care about me; they only treated me like a cash cow. What could I do? I didn't even dare tell my family that I was forced. I didn't dare tell anyone that I was pregnant. I could only secretly shed tears by myself. That was a scumbag's child. Do you think I wanted to be pregnant?"

"I finally managed to get those two scumbags to fight, and I finally got rid of them, but I can't get over the shadow in my heart. I'm afraid no one will love me, so I can only prove that I deserve to be loved through other people's praise and flattery. It wasn't until I met you that I came out of the shadow, but you blocked me when I was in my most difficult time. Jing Yan, how could you do this to me?"

Ming Jiaojiao truly lives up to her reputation as a performer.

This impromptu performance came on cue.

She portrayed herself as a strong woman who was not afraid of being forced, was courageous and resourceful, felt lost and lacked love, and was searching for true affection.

This completely baffled Jing Yan, even ruining his original intention of coming to confront him.

He took a deep breath and said coldly, "Even so, why did you want to harm Mingluo? Why did you want to throw the child on Mingluo? And how do you explain your attempt to take her place as an actress?"

Ming Jiaojiao's mind raced, and she cried out, "I don't know. I fainted from the pain after giving birth, and when I woke up, the baby was gone. It was Zhao Quan who did it. He said he used to like Ming Luo, but Ming Luo would run away whenever she saw him, so he deliberately harmed Ming Luo. As for the actress, it was indeed Ming Luo who said she could let me take her place, but now she hates me for taking you away from her, and she won't admit it."

She breathed a sigh of relief after she finished speaking.

She covered up all the lies perfectly.

Now it remains to be seen whether Jing Yan believes it or not.

Jing Yan had no more questions. Ming Jiaojiao had answered all his questions, and it all seemed perfect, but he still felt something was off.

"Let's not contact each other for now."

"Why? Jingyan, in the end, you still don't believe me. Do you want me to die in front of you before you'll believe me?" Ming Jiaojiao said angrily.

She was very skilled at using tactics like crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide.

Zhao Quan was very receptive to this approach, and she thought Jing Yan would likely be too.

Who knew...

Jing Yan remained silent for a long time before coldly saying, "You should reflect on your actions. I'm hanging up. Let's not contact each other for now."

He hung up the phone.

Ming Jiaojiao was stunned.

Is this still the same Jing Yan who used to dote on him?

When he heard she was going to commit suicide, he actually hung up the phone?

"Scumbag!"

Ming Jiaojiao vented her frustration over the phone, so angry she wanted to smash everything.

She had no idea that she had committed a grave offense against Jing Yan. Jing Yan could never be involved in a murder case, neither for the sake of his family's interests nor for his personal reputation.

If Ming Jiaojiao could still remain rational, he might have been willing to lend a hand. But since Ming Jiaojiao threatened him with his life, he had no choice but to get away as soon as possible to avoid getting involved in a murder case...
