Breaking Free, I Became a Sensation in the Elite Circle After Divorce

Forced into marriage, Ning Yichu always felt that Li Lingyang hated her as his wife. Until that night, when he drank too much, his eyes red, and he cornered her, saying, "Ning Yichu? I f*cking ...

Chapter 54: Collusion and Turning the tables

A hoarse voice suddenly came, as if it hit Ning Yichu's heart.

He smells of alcohol. Is he drunk and talking nonsense?

But when he was dancing, his movements were very skillful and free-spirited, and he didn't look like he was drunk at all.

Just when Ning Yichu was a little confused about his intentions, the man's eyes suddenly sharpened and he glared at her, "There has never been a woman as fearless as you. You were pregnant and lied to me for five years! Tell me, should I do a paternity test with Ningning?"

Ning Yichu's heartbeat seemed to stop abruptly, but soon she burst into laughter again, looking very cool.

"You're really making me laugh to death. Do you have missing child syndrome? You used to keep asking me about illegitimate children, but now you're asking about illegitimate daughters instead? Okay, okay, if you want to humiliate yourself, I have no objection. I'll have Ningning keep her sample for you guys to do the identification."

Her indifferent expression was like a basin of cold water poured down on her face. Li Lingyang frowned slightly. Was he really overthinking it?

Did the mysterious man Ning Yichu mentioned really exist?

"I will!"

"Please, do it quickly. I really want it so that you don't have to bother me anymore."

More and more photographers came over to take pictures. Ning Yichu didn't want to be in the same frame with them, so he said it in a nonchalant manner and left quickly.

Her delicate body brushed past Li Lingyang's shoulder as she left, leaving a faint scent of gardenia in her nostrils.

Li Lingyang stared at her back, a faint light flickering in his dark eyes.

Soon, he was entangled by Shen Jiangqing and a group of guests again, and had no time to think about it anymore.

How could Shen Jiangqing not know that Mu Bailang did it on purpose?

But she couldn't afford to offend Mu Bailang.

He didn't even dare to secretly put some medicine in Li Lingyang's eyes, because they were real good friends and grew up together.

She didn't know why, but every time she was in front of Mu Bailang, she had the illusion that he could see through her.

After the opening dance, the atmosphere became more lively and everyone was chatting in groups of three or four.

From time to time, there were people who wanted to make friends with Ning Yichu.

Even though he knew that she and Mu Bailang had just finished dancing, he still kept chasing after her.

Ning Yichu knew very well that these people were attracted by Grandma Li's love for her and did not really care about her. After politely declining them, she found Ning Ning who was secretly eating ice cream.

Ningning was not allowed to eat so much ice cream in the first place, and she immediately acted like a schoolboy who had been caught, begging, "Mommy, I only ate a little bit more."

"Is it a few hundred million?" Ning Yichu laughed.

Ningning was embarrassed.

"I drank hot water right after I finished eating the ice cream." She was still trying to struggle.

Ning Yichu, “…” Where does this strange theory come from?

She took Ningning and Doudou to sit in another corner. With the two little babies as shields, no young men came to her anymore. In boredom, she noticed the gift placed aside.

Among them, a piece of blue and white porcelain caught her attention.

This seems...

Is it a fake?!

After all, she has been working in the jewelry and jade industry for a long time and has some vision.

She picked up the blue and white porcelain and looked at it carefully.

Doudou and Ningning poked their heads out. "This is a gift someone gave to Grandma Zeng. Mommy, what are you looking at?"

"I'm not sure, let me take a look..." Ning Yichu had just said this when someone passed by and bumped into her hard.

Her center of gravity was unstable, and her body swayed twice in a mess. Her hand slipped, and the blue and white porcelain fell to the ground with a crash, shattering into pieces.

Ning Yichu stared at the broken vase, dumbfounded. He turned his head angrily to look at the man in a suit next to him, "Why did you bump into me?"

The man was about 27 or 28 years old, wearing a baggy blue suit. His handsome face was slightly drunk, and his hair was messy, making him look a bit playful. He asked innocently, "When did I bump into you? Sister-in-law, you can't blame me for accidentally breaking grandma's antiques."

As soon as the name "sister-in-law" came out, Ning Yichu immediately realized that the man in front of her was Li Lingyang's half-brother - Li Jingting!

He was the child conceived by Li Jianbin and a dancer. Later, when the Li family was undergoing a power transition, the dancer came to the house with him, causing Mr. Li to almost deprive him of his inheritance rights.

It was precisely for this reason that Li Jianbin disliked this illegitimate son and had been sending him abroad for many years without paying any attention to him.

Perhaps because of his unhappy childhood, when Ning Yichu was at the Li family, he often heard about some of Li’s evil deeds abroad, which were simply outrageous.

"It's just a fake antique. Is there any need to blame it on you? It was clearly you who hit me, but you deny it and even bite back. Second Master Li, as a person, especially as a man, it's best to be responsible."

"Fake?" Li Jingting chuckled. "Sister-in-law, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything you want."

"What happened?" The commotion here quickly attracted the attention of the guests. Shen Jiangqing and Li Lingyang walked over and saw the broken blue and white porcelain on the ground. Their faces suddenly darkened. "This is my birthday present for grandma!"

Shen Jiangqing looked unacceptable. "Ms. Ning, I know you resent me for stealing A Ling, but you can't cause trouble on Grandma's wedding day! This blue and white porcelain is one of Grandma's favorite gifts..."

Ning Yichu originally wanted to resolve the matter in a low-key manner, but Shen Jiangqing's shouting and making a fuss directly attracted more people to watch.

Even Li Jianbin and his wife came, looking determined to hold them accountable.

In an instant, Ning Yichu became the target of public criticism, as if he had deliberately smashed the blue and white porcelain to take revenge on Shen Jiangqing.

No wonder she was so cruel. "I wasn't the one who started the trouble. It was the one who sent the fake to grandma."

"What? You mean, my blue and white porcelain is a fake?" Shen Jiangqing was so angry that he laughed and stared at her in disbelief.

Li Jingting lazily watched the quarrel between the two women and said, "Ms. Ning did say it was a fake, so it's broken."

It was the old lady of the Li family’s 80th birthday and she wanted the whole family to be reunited, so she specially called Li Jingting back from abroad.

But this does not mean that the entire Li family accepted him.

Li Lingyang also had complicated emotions towards this illegitimate brother. Hearing him constantly fanning the flames, he glanced at him with a cold and contemptuous look, intimidating without even getting angry, "Shut up!"

Li Jingting made a zippering gesture and shut his mouth obediently.

But the quarrel did not stop just because he shut up.

Grandma Li knew the whole story. She looked at Ning Yichu, then at Shen Jiangqing, and finally wanted to calm things down. "It's just a piece of blue and white porcelain. If it's broken, just throw it away. It's no big deal."

"Mom, you're easy to talk to, but Ning Yichu actually said it was a fake to shirk responsibility! This has completely changed the nature of the matter. It's simply shameless. We can't let this go..." Su Huiyue was immediately filled with anger when she heard this.
