Jiang Miaomiao’s ...
Chapter 10 The Bride's True Face
Jiang Miaomiao sighed, "Sui Yupeng, this is why you fell for it back then!"
Sui Yupeng was puzzled.
Hao Luwei instantly understood Jiang Miaomiao's meaning, so she rushed over without hesitation, pleading pitifully while her hands and feet went straight for the computer.
Xie Liang, who was standing nearby, tried to stop her, but Hao Luwei was pregnant, and in the struggle, he almost bumped into her abdomen, which scared him so much that he jumped out of the way.
But Hao Luwei really cared about this belly. When she fell, she tried to sit on her buttocks, then held her waist with her left hand and touched her face with the five-finger mark on it with her right hand, crying and shouting.
Sui Yupeng quickly went to help her up, his heart almost entirely tipped in favor of Hao Luwei.
Jiang Miaomiao reiterated: "She has so many problems with her hands and feet."
Hao Luwei: "..."
Hao Luwei, unable to contain herself any longer, yelled, "Jiang Miaomiao! Shut up!"
She desperately wanted Jiang Miaomiao to hit or scold her so she could take the opportunity to play the victim. But Jiang Miaomiao did hit her, and her insults were roundabout and sarcastic. How could she possibly retaliate?
For a moment, Sui Yupeng was too frightened to notice that she had already shouted loudly.
Hao Luwei stared intently at Jiang Miaomiao.
Jiang Miaomiao directly called out Sui's mother, drawing all eyes to her and making her instantly feel extremely uncomfortable.
Those present frowned inwardly: just by looking at the photos, it was clear that these men were interested in Hao Luwei, and Hao Luwei couldn't possibly be unaware of their actual interactions! Yet, faced with such romantic feelings, did she not consider avoiding suspicion?
Jiang Miaomiao laughed and said, "Your so-called family education is about knowing when to act like a third party, drugging someone to offer yourself up, and getting pregnant to climb the social ladder?"
Hao Luwei was almost always present when Jiang Miaomiao and Sui Yupeng appeared together, and she was always present and sitting intimately next to Sui Yupeng when Jiang Miaomiao was not. Even on the night he got drunk and caused trouble, the drunk Sui Yupeng was helped to the same hotel and the same room by the sober Hao Luwei.
According to the double-viewing of the corridor surveillance footage, Hao Luwei moved freely but never left her hotel room, not even when a waiter brought warm water into the room.
Jiang Miaomiao glanced at Sui Yupeng and asked, "Do you remember you said that the music was too loud that night, so you got drunk after a few drinks? I went to the bar and pulled up your bill from that night. Seven people ordered three bottles of champagne. How could you get drunk after only two or three drinks when you were already full?"
Sui Yupeng's face froze; even someone as dense as him would know the reason.
He opened his eyes wide in astonishment.
Jiang Miaomiao said, "There's no need to thank me too much. You should thank me for going to a legitimate bar, where there are cameras everywhere."
A mysterious silence fell over the scene. It was truly unbelievable that Jiang Miaomiao would say such a thing. Sui Yupeng looked more like he had been struck by lightning than grateful.
Hao Luwei quickly grabbed Sui Yupeng and tried to argue that they were just sugar pills. But would an adult believe that?
But Jiang Miaomiao allowed everyone to believe her, so she pressed on, "What brand of sugar pills?"
Hao Luwei made this up.
Jiang Miaomiao agreed again, letting her make up whatever she wanted, anyway: "After all, you paid for it. So do you remember when you bought it? Where did you buy it?"
Hao Luwei hesitated and said, "How could I remember? It's just a regular snack. Wouldn't it be even more suspicious if I remembered it clearly?"
Jiang Miaomiao calmly asked, "Are you sure you haven't bought any special medications?"
Hao Luwei nodded, but then realized that this might be a trap. She blinked her eyes and said, "It probably is. But I sometimes buy some medicine or motherwort granules when I have a fever or a cold. Sometimes I don't remember when I buy them."
Jiang Miaomiao reassured her, "It's okay, I'll write it down for you if you don't remember. After all, your bank statements are quite interesting..."
Bank statements?!
Hao Luwei froze, her voice trembling with shock: "Jiang Miaomiao, you're violating my privacy!"
The scene erupted in uproar; they clearly realized that Hao Luwei's testimonials were seriously problematic.
They secretly anticipated and even prayed that Jiang Miaomiao would continue to be domineering and give them a good show.
However, Jiang Miaomiao unexpectedly praised, "Hao Luwei, your ability to counter any move is truly impressive."
Everyone: "..." No, don't give up like this.
Hao Luwei wasn't afraid of giving the impression of being guilty for admitting guilt, and bluntly said, "Jiang Miaomiao, if you've ever peeked at my bank statements, I'll definitely sue you and send you to jail!"
Jiang Miaomiao scoffed: "You understand men's minds so well, so why didn't you bother to understand my graduation project when you were with me? Is it because I'm a woman?!"
Hao Luwei sneered: "What does your graduation project have to do with you spying on my privacy?"
Jiang Miaomiao raised an eyebrow.
A professor at the scene couldn't help but explain on her behalf, "Jiang Miaomiao's graduation project involves using mobile phone location tracking to obtain users' movement trajectories. This involves user data research, so the school has approved her to obtain information from the school's faculty and students for data surveys. As long as it's not for profit, her use is legal."
Hao Luwei exclaimed urgently, "I disagree!"
But knowing it was futile, she quickly retorted, "Even if the school stipulates that she can use it, it doesn't say she can publish it! If anyone can just apply to the school and publish someone else's privacy, what about our right to privacy? Does the school really agree to that?"
The professor nodded and said in a businesslike manner, "The school only allows individuals to view the document; individuals are not permitted to copy, transfer, or publish it."
Hao Luwei looked back at Jiang Miaomiao as if she had been pardoned: "Did you hear that? If you dare to publish my bank statements, you'll be breaking the law!"
The older brother nodded.
Jiang Miaomiao is always well-prepared.
So, everyone saw the three of them deposit a large sum of money into Hao Luwei's account during a short period of time earlier in the year. Jiang Miaomiao gestured to the waiter to give them the microphone and asked, "Why did you give her so much money?"
The three brothers were speechless. Their silence was clearly due to an unbearable reason.
Jiang Miaomiao kindly added, "Is it for her abortion fees?"
The three brothers nodded in agreement.
Everyone present gasped in shock.
Jiang Miaomiao laughed and said, "But have you ever thought that she wasn't actually pregnant at the time?"
"What?!" The three brothers were stunned.
"Miaomiao, explain yourself!" Sui Yupeng suddenly shouted in a trembling voice. Ignoring Hao Luwei's arguing beside him, he grabbed Jiang Miaomiao's arm and pressed her for an explanation: "You've confused me completely. Explain yourself."
"Yupeng, don't believe her! She's all liars..." Hao Luwei was still sitting on the ground, clutching her stomach, pretending to cry.
Sui Yupeng turned his head and roared, "Shut up!"
Hao Luwei was stunned in disbelief, because Sui Yupeng had never spoken so loudly or acted so out of control.
Sui Yupeng held Jiang Miaomiao's hand tightly: "Explain the whole story clearly from beginning to end. I'm very confused right now, and I can't hear you very well..." The audience below nodded silently. They were eager to find a thread to string these scattered events together like beads on a string.
...
"That suits me perfectly."
Jiang Miaomiao replied.
But she didn't forget to push Sui Yupeng's hand away, saying, "Men and women shouldn't touch each other. My upbringing is indeed different from yours!"
Sui Yupeng froze, his eyes instantly turning red.
The audience member, Sui's mother, was so mocked that she almost couldn't hold back and left.
Jiang Miaomiao walked to the emcee's platform, placed her computer on it, adjusted the microphone position, and then faced the audience, looking down at them like a speaker in a high position.
As the saying goes, there are 360 professions, and every profession can produce an expert. But she is the 361st profession: to pretend, to steal, and to discover men.
Our groom today, Sui Yupeng, is the latest target she has chosen after going through countless relationships. At first, her various flirtatious advances failed, but when she learned that they were going to a bar, she bought a bottle of sleeping pills in advance and fed them to her target's wine glass before taking him directly to a hotel to check in.
I discovered three transfer records on Hao Luwei's latest bank card, from Lu Xiao, Fang Xinhan, and Chen Zeyang respectively, each exceeding $100,000 USD. Aside from purchases of designer clothes and luxury bags, there were two cash withdrawals of equal amounts before and after each transaction: $350 USD for the first and $100 USD for the second. In total, these three transactions resulted in three cash withdrawals of $350 USD and three withdrawals of $100 USD each.
All six sums of money were traced to the same shady clinic. Why don't you guess what this shady clinic does?
Jiang Miaomiao paused, a hint of a smile in her voice.
Hao Luwei, of course, refused to answer.
No one else could answer.
Only Jiang Miaomiao continued to reveal: "Hao Luwei is a regular VIP customer at this shady clinic. For $100, you can get a fake hospital ultrasound showing a pregnancy, and for $350, you can get a fake hymen repaired that lasts only three days. Yesterday, when she went to the hotel with Sui Yupeng, she withdrew $350 in cash."
There were no transaction records for cash transactions, but the illegal clinic had her name and the procedures for her treatment.
Looking at the evidence projected on the screen, Sui Yupeng felt as if he had been struck a heavy blow to the heart, and his face turned extremely pale.
But that's not all. Jiang Miaomiao said methodically, "Hao Luwei changed her cards too frequently, but I discovered the existence of her brother-in-law Xie Liang through Lu Xiao, who was the first to transfer money. Through Xie Liang, I found out that he had transferred money to other bank card numbers of Hao Luwei in the past. So I dug up this bank card and transaction records that had been cancelled, and then spread the transfer records of other brothers... and so on, in short, a lot of it. Seventeen brothers who came to the meeting, don't be sad, you are only one in many."
The seventeen brothers pressed their hands to their chests: Stop saying that!
Jiang Miaomiao looked at them and chuckled, "Feeling embarrassed? What's there to be embarrassed about? Finding men is just like finding a job; both require expertise. Our goddess Hao Luwei is quite capable. She waits for ordinary men, and runs away when she finds a better one—it's the same logic as you guys running away from a bad job. Calm down..."
Seventeen brothers: "..." Can you please stop stabbing me in the back? Even green hats come in different shades.
