Yingying's husband is Gu Tingjun's subordinate, so Yingying always follows Ye Yuzhen's lead.

"You...you're spouting nonsense! How could I, a woman, agree to such a thing? It's pure slander! Sixth Grandfather, Sixth Grandmother, Seventh Brother, you must not believe Yingying's lies."

Madam Gu sighed deeply: "Over the years, out of consideration for the relationship between the Gu and Ye families and for your father, I have always taken good care of you. I never expected you to do such a despicable thing. Yuzhen, you have really disappointed me."

Old Master Gu said coldly, "It seems that our two families should have less contact in the future."

Ye Yuzhen cried out, her face full of grievance: "Sixth Grandmother, it really wasn't me, it really wasn't me... Yingying framed me, she must have conspired with Bai Qianmo."

Seeing that Ye Yuzhen was vehemently denying the allegations, Yingying decided to leave her to swallow all the blame.

A feeling of resentment suddenly arose in my heart.

“Old Master Gu, Old Madam Gu, Lord Duke, I have evidence to show you.”

After saying that, she took out her phone and sneered at Ye Yuzhen: "Originally, out of consideration for our years of friendship, I didn't want to publicly break ties with you, but you forced me to do this."

After she finished speaking, she played a recording.

"Sister Ying, as long as you make this gift public, I will keep your husband's matter in mind."

In the recording, Ye Yuzhen's voice is clear and distinct.

People in this circle tend to keep something in reserve for themselves.

At the time, she vaguely sensed that Ye Yuzhen must have some purpose in doing this. In order to avoid trouble, she secretly turned on the recorder while chatting with Ye Yuzhen. Unexpectedly, it actually came in handy.

Ye Yuzhen's face was deathly pale, and her body was trembling uncontrollably. With the evidence irrefutable, any further words she could utter would be futile.

Suddenly, I felt like the sky in my heart had collapsed.

Gu Tingjun hurriedly stepped forward to plead with the two elders and Gu Jueye on behalf of Ye Yuzhen.

"Sixth Grandfather, Sixth Grandmother, Seventh Brother, Yuzhen was just confused for a moment. I will definitely give her a good talking-to when we get back. Second Grandfather, Seventh Brother, please don't take it to heart."

Gu Jueye scoffed lightly: "Second Brother shouldn't have explained to us that the real victim is Miss Bai."

"Yes, it's Miss Bai!"

Gu Tingjun felt a surge of resentment. How could someone of his status apologize to a mere young girl in public?

But right now, in order to suppress this matter as soon as possible, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and apologize to Bai Qianmo.

“Miss Bai, I’m so sorry. I apologize on her behalf for the trouble my wife’s outrageous behavior has caused you. Please forgive her and don’t hold it against her.”

Ye Yuzhen lowered her head and remained silent.

Bai Qianmo scoffed coldly: "Shouldn't the person who made the mistake apologize in person?"

Gu Tingjun was taken aback and gave Bai Qianmo a deep look. Bai Qianmo looked back at him indifferently, her eyes as deep and unfathomable as the sea.

"Yuzhen, hurry up and apologize to Miss Bai."

Ye Yuzhen clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging into her palms, and looked up at Bai Qianmo with hatred.

Today, because of this brat, she has completely lost face, and yet she still wants her to apologize?

"If she hadn't prepared such a cheap gift, who would have been able to laugh at her? Isn't it you, Bai Qianmo, who comes from humble beginnings and is determined to marry into a wealthy family?"

"Seventh Brother is blinded by you. He said he liked that cheap knockoff in front of everyone just to save face for you. Did you really think your birthday present was so impressive? Qian Ning prepared a rare copy of 'Microcosm,' and you prepared a cheap knockoff for Seventh Brother. You have the nerve to ask me to come out and apologize to you? Bah! You little bitch, don't even think about it."
