Rebirth of the Heiress' Revenge

Twenty years of familial love, years of marital affection—all were lies. The father who doted on her since childhood turned out to be the murderer of her mother. The husband who cherished her all a...

Chapter 110 Before the Storm (4)

This girl, Liang Jinfeng, comes from a family involved in politics; I heard her father is the second-in-command of the Transportation Bureau.

She had dark circles under her eyes. Mo Jing's words the night before had kept her on edge all night, preventing her from sleeping well. When she woke up and saw her dark circles, she was shocked. She had to apply layers of foundation to barely cover them up.

Once the first person stepped forward, a second one followed. Everyone was already somewhat wary of what happened yesterday, and they spent the whole night feeling anxious and fearful, but in the end, everything calmed down.

Moreover, they didn't hear any of the so-called gunshots, so no one knows whether they were real or not.

"Hmph, don't you know? This Mo Jing is a notorious scoundrel at school. I bet she was trying to play a trick on us yesterday." Another girl named Su Lianyue chimed in, having disliked Mo Jing for a long time. She was also Han Wenlei's cousin, though only a distant relative.

Other girls also spoke up to criticize, while the boys couldn't be so petty, but they were clearly encouraged by the girls to believe that Mo Jing was playing them, so they chose to stand aside, neither speaking up nor stopping her, and watching coldly.

"Hey, what's wrong with you people! Mo Jing was just trying to be helpful by reminding you." Shen Jingyuan couldn't understand. Wouldn't it be better if nothing happened? Did they really want someone to rob them at gunpoint?

Shen Jingyuan had no idea that these people had always disliked Mo Jing, and yesterday, because of something Mo Jing said, none of them had slept well. They were in a bad mood and were looking for someone to vent their frustrations on.

At this moment, Jiang Tianxue walked over and pulled Shen Jingyuan aside, advising her: "Sister, you can't judge a book by its cover." She spoke tactfully, knowing when to stop.

Shen Jingyuan was a straightforward person. She believed that Mo Jing was not that kind of person, and Jiang Tianxue's words clearly showed that she was in cahoots with those people. She indirectly shook off Jiang Tianxue's hand, but before she could say anything, Liang Jinfeng had already spoken sarcastically.

"Whether she meant well or badly, only she knows. Otherwise, how come so many of us didn't hear it, but she did?" Liang Jinfeng said with a sneer.

"Mr. Ling heard it too!" Shen Jingyuan explained to them in a fit of exasperation.

“Mr. Ling didn’t say he heard gunshots. He only told us to go back to our tents immediately and not to speak.” Su Lianyue liked Ling Moyuan, so she didn’t want people to compare Ling Moyuan with Mo Jing.

Mo Jing coldly swept her gaze over the crowd. See? She really wasn't cut out to be a good person. She'd finally shown some kindness yesterday by reminding them, and this was the reward she got.

Mo Jing felt there was no need to argue with them. Whether they believed her or not, she had already warned them. Their lives were their own responsibility.

Jiang Tianxue secretly rejoiced to see Shen Jingyuan arguing with everyone for Mo Jing's sake. Let her argue and protect her; the more Shen Jingyuan protected Mo Jing, the more everyone would dislike her, which was exactly what she wanted to see.

Mo Jing pulled Shen Jingyuan back and looked at the person who was arguing with them and was about to cry. Beneath her cold exterior, her heart warmed little by little.

She is not a cold-blooded animal; she will remember those who are kind to her.

"Only stupid people with low IQs think they're being played every day, because they're not smart enough." Ling Moyuan had jumped down from the tree trunk without anyone noticing.
