Ye Huanhuan looked miserable, then gave a heartbreaking smile. "Whether I'm lying or not, you all know better than anyone else."

Her gaze swept over Xia Jianguo and his wife, taking in their faces flushed red with anger, and she continued calmly:

"Are all the people attending the banquet today prominent and influential figures in S City? You don't need to investigate anything deliberately. Just ask anyone familiar with the Xia family, and you'll know whether what I'm saying is true or not."

Li Qin was furious and embarrassed. "You brat, how dare you talk nonsense in front of so many people! I'll tear your mouth apart!"

As she spoke, she wanted to step forward and, like she used to do at the Xia family, beat Ye Huanhuan.

Unfortunately, things are different now.

Ye Huanhuan is no longer the Xia Huanhuan who let them bully her.

It wasn't for that reason; Xia Huanhuan was willing to give up everything for a little bit of family affection.

Upon seeing this, the bodyguard immediately stepped forward and stopped Li Qin, while Ye Huanhuan looked dejected.

"Mom, why are you still hitting me all the time, just like before? Have you forgotten? We're not in the Xia family anymore, and I'm not Xia Huanhuan anymore."

Li Qin was stopped by the bodyguards, and she flew into a rage, continuing to point at Ye Huanhuan's nose and hurl insults:

"No matter what, I'm the one who raised you. You shameless little bitch, if I had known it would be like this, I should have killed you!"

"Mom, how many times did you almost kill me when I was in the Xia family?"

As she spoke, Ye Huanhuan lifted the hair from her forehead, revealing a noticeable scar near her hairline.

“Back then, my dad lost his job. He came home drunk and went on a rampage, smashing a bottle over my head and almost killing me. For six whole months, I couldn’t even get out of bed. I was only fifteen years old at the time.”

Then, she laid her fair wrists out on the back, displaying the obvious knife marks on them to everyone.

“When you sold my college admission to my cousin, I was heartbroken and wanted to commit suicide by cutting my wrists. I was discovered by Aunt Li, who lived next door. If it weren’t for her, I might have died long ago.”

Later, you tried to sell me to Qin Feng, driving me to the brink of despair. I had no choice but to jump into the lake and commit suicide. Perhaps it was my destiny to survive, because Song Lin happened to be passing by and saved me.

Mom and Dad, tell me, if it weren't for the King of Hell refusing to take my worthless life, I'd probably be dead already, wouldn't I?

Ye Huanhuan's voice was soft, but the weight of her words made Xia Jianguo and his wife feel suffocated.

The onlookers were deeply saddened. They never imagined that Ye Huanhuan, who had been wandering for over twenty years, would suffer such a miserable fate. At this moment, her plight garnered sympathy and pity from everyone present.

At this moment, the outcome was already decided. No matter how much Xia Jianguo and his wife slandered Ye Huanhuan, no one present would believe a single word they said.

No matter how much they slander and defame her, it has no effect on Ye Huanhuan and cannot cause her any harm. If they want to damage her reputation, they will have to think of other methods.

"Hmph, you sharp-tongued brat, we can't argue with you, so we'll just leave, okay?"

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Xia Jianguo had no choice but to pull Li Qin away in a sorry state.

Unfortunately, Ye Huanhuan wouldn't let the couple go so easily.

Since someone wants to use Xia Jianguo and his wife to smear her, if she doesn't fight back hard, wouldn't people think she's easy to bully?

"Mom and Dad, don't rush off..."

As she spoke, she instructed her bodyguard, "Stop them, I have something to ask them."

The bodyguard understood immediately and quickly stepped in front of Xia Jianguo and his wife.

What do you want to do?

Xia Jianguo and Li Qin panicked instantly; they both had some psychological trauma from these bodyguards.

Back then, Ye Huanhuan had these bodyguards break all the legs of Qin Feng's henchmen right in front of them.

"Why are you stopping us from leaving?"
