Nie Yuchen liked this way of handling things, and he said, "That's definitely how it should be done."

He thought for a moment, then logged into his account, which he hadn't used in a long time, and reposted Mingluo's Weibo post with a hugging emoji.

The Weibo post caused a huge stir.

People in the business world stared in disbelief at Nie Yuchen's Weibo posts. They never expected that a business tycoon would be involved in such gossip; it was utterly shocking.

But what's even more shocking is that Nie Yuchen reposted every single Weibo post Mingluo made afterward, adding a hugging emoji with each one.

Everyone finally realized one thing: Nie Yuchen was indeed just watching the drama unfold.

When Mingluo posted the word "two" on Weibo, Mingjiaojiao finally couldn't resist calling Mingluo using someone else's phone...

"Mingluo!" Ming Jiaojiao's tone was filled with deep resentment.

Minglu smiled slightly, surprised that even at this point, Ming Jiaojiao was still unrepentant.

She said casually, "I thought you had disappeared. The apology video you recorded was quite good."

“…” Ming Jiaojiao took a deep breath, trying to make her tone sound more sincere.

"Mingluo, I'm sorry, you blocked me, so I couldn't apologize to you. Now my mother and I are here to apologize to you together. Can you forgive us?"

Minglu raised an eyebrow.

That's really interesting.

Apologize over the phone?

She said calmly, "Apologizing over the phone is too soft for me to hear clearly."

“…” Ming Jiaojiao gritted her teeth, “Then is it convenient for you to meet? Let’s talk when we meet.”

“Sure, it’s at the coffee shop across from the school,” Mingluo said, indicating the location.

Ming Jiaojiao hurriedly said, "That place won't do, let's find another one."

"Are you afraid of losing face?" Minglu scoffed. "Don't worry, you've already lost all face."

“Mingluo, you…” Ming Jiaojiao was filled with hatred, but Mingluo had leverage over her, and she was truly afraid.

Suppressing her anger, she agreed to the address.

I hung up the phone.

Minglu was heading towards the coffee shop when Nie Yuchen said, "I'll go with you."

"No need, I'll take a taxi. It would be too conspicuous to bring you along," Mingluo said calmly. "It's better not to involve you in this kind of gossipy social news."

Nie Yuchen: "..."

He was already deeply mired in the situation, and she didn't even know it?

He finished dressing, picked up Mingluo's bag casually, and said indifferently, "I'm going to a coffee shop for a light meal."

"Alright then..." Minglu really couldn't do anything about him.

When the two arrived at their destination, Ming Jiaojiao and Qian Xiulan had not yet arrived.

Nie Yuchen ordered food and ate at the table inside. Ming Luo also ate a few bites. Then Ming Jiaojiao and Qian Xiulan arrived.

The two arrived one after the other, their faces ashen, as if they had had a fight on the way.

Mingluo told Nie Yuchen to eat well, then went to a table to wait for Ming Jiaojiao and Qian Xiulan.

The two of them stiffened for a moment when they saw Mingluo, and then sat down opposite her.

Qian Xiulan kept her mouth tightly shut and didn't say a word, but her eyes were fixed on Mingluo as if they were poisonous.

A flash of resentment crossed Ming Jiaojiao's eyes, but more than that, it was jealousy.

She couldn't eat or sleep properly during this time, and was extremely distressed, while Mingluo looked radiant and even more beautiful.

She cleared her throat and said, "Mingluo, today, my mother and I formally apologize to you. We are very sorry that our words have caused you trouble, and we hope you can forgive us."

"What are you apologizing for? Is it for spreading rumors online, or for framing me for the stillborn baby?" Minglu raised an eyebrow and asked casually.

Ming Jiaojiao was startled and speechless for a moment.

What did Mingluo mean by that? Did she really know something?

Qian Xiulan exploded.

"Mingluo, what are you talking about, that dead child? What does that dead child have to do with us? Wasn't that something you did? Who knows who you offended outside and got framed? Don't try to pin it on us. We're here today to apologize for what people said about you being indecent online. We're sorry."

Those three words, "I'm sorry," struck like cannonballs, hitting people hard.

Minglu smiled, her eyes slightly cool as she looked at Ming Jiaojiao, and said meaningfully, "Ming Jiaojiao, what about you?"

“I…” Ming Jiaojiao gritted her teeth. She stared into Ming Luo’s eyes again and again, but still didn’t have the courage to admit what happened back then.

She thought that after so many years, Mingluo might not be able to find out the truth.

With a cold expression, she said, "We apologize for the rumors spread online. We hope you can forgive us. We're sorry!"

Minglu scoffed and stood up. "I don't accept your apology. I was going to let you off the hook out of consideration for our family ties, but now it seems unnecessary. Let's go through legal proceedings."

"Mingluo, what do you mean?" Ming Jiaojiao asked.

Minglu sneered, ignored him, and turned to leave.

Qian Xiulan was furious and said angrily, "Mingluo, don't push your luck. I've apologized to you, what more do you want?"

"Mom, stop talking. I called you here to apologize, and this is how you apologize? No one can accept an apology like this!" Ming Jiaojiao hurriedly pulled the angry Qian Xiulan back.

In the past, she hoped her mother would be more assertive so that she could easily intimidate Mingluo and benefit from it.

But now, her biggest regret is making that phone call to her mother, which has unwittingly put her in a difficult position.

Qian Xiulan had never been so frustrated. She felt restricted and unable to fully utilize her abilities here.

If they were back in their hometown, she would have slapped Minglu across the face long ago.

And now I'm being scolded like this by my daughter.

She immediately said, "I'm not staying here anymore. I'm leaving. I went through so much trouble to come and support you, and this is how you treat me? You made me grovel and apologize to people, and you even scolded me. Do I owe you anything?"

The mother and daughter got into another argument.

After leaving the coffee shop, Mingluo sent a message to Ningqi, informing her to initiate legal proceedings.

She herself took some time to post a Weibo message: "Here's the juicy gossip you've been waiting for. First, I never said I'd give the spot to Ming Jiaojiao. Second, look at her figure."

The video accompanying the Weibo post was the audition video of Ming Jiaojiao that Fang Yadong sent her.

This Weibo post caused a huge stir.

"This is truly eye-opening. How can there be such a shameless person in the world? Her sister is still in the hospital, and she can't wait to steal her sister's spot? And she even makes up lies?"

"I just remembered that conspiracy theorist from this morning. It was like a prophecy. She really did steal her sister's spot before, and now she's stealing her sister's boyfriend. It's so unlucky to have a sister like that. Mingluo is so pitiful. I really want to hug her."

"Have you noticed that Ming Jiaojiao's figure is strange? She should have been a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl at the time, but her face was so chubby, and she looked like she was pregnant."

"She was pregnant, and the stillborn baby was hers."

"Could it be that she gave birth to a stillborn child and deliberately framed Mingluo? Oh my god, I feel like I've solved the case."
