After saying that, Mo Jing still looked very troubled, and her words were light and casual, as if she had only hit a cat or dog.

"You heard it, you heard it, she's threatening me, she's threatening me!" Yin Yurong shouted loudly, and with her shout, all the dissatisfaction with Mo Jing around her turned into accusations.

They all acted as if Mo Jing had done something terribly wrong.

Only Zou Shijie stood aside, watching Mo Jing stand in the center, seemingly unconcerned about the accusations from the crowd, and felt a pang of heartache. So this was the heart beneath her cold exterior; this was how she earned her reputation as a villain. Those people mocked, teased, and insulted her; if she didn't fight back, she would only be beaten. So, she preferred to be a notorious villain rather than a weak person to be bullied?

Mo Xiangtian was also feeling somewhat saddened. It turned out that three months ago, she had injured the bureau chief's daughter, sending her to the hospital, because the woman had first insulted her, calling her a motherless child. Two months ago, she had suddenly been staying home every day for several days, completely covered up, apparently because she had developed rashes.

But what did he do back then? Three months ago, without even asking what happened, he slapped her and forced her to apologize to the other woman's daughter. How wronged she must have felt then! Two months ago, she stayed home all day and wouldn't go out, and he even scolded her for being spoiled, acting like a pampered rich girl, and skipping school. And a month ago, he had no idea how many people would laugh at her when she returned to school after her failed marriage proposal.

I've been such a failure as a father.

When they were little, Mo Jing loved to cling to him. Seeing him working hard and coming home late, she would often say that when her daughter grew up, her father wouldn't have to work so hard anymore, and she would help him guard the company. At that time, he would always smile and pat her head contentedly, saying, "Okay."

When did these things gradually change?

It seems like it started when he became increasingly busy with his company and had no time for her. It seems like it started when he repeatedly missed her childhood birthdays, until she got used to not asking him to celebrate with her anymore. It seems like it started when he no longer spoke to her softly as before, but used a commanding tone, like he would with a company employee.

"Jingjing, you've gone too far, and it's heartbreaking for me. Although we can't get married, I've never blamed you, but the way you are now really disappoints me." Han Wenlei looked heartbroken, and even those around him who knew what kind of marriage it was were now wondering if Mo Jing had done something shameful.

"Enough! Han Wenlei and Yin Yurong, you two stop spreading these baseless accusations against my daughter. Otherwise, don't blame me for suing you for defamation." Mo Xiangtian stepped forward and pulled Mo Jing behind him, protecting her. His loud voice, brows furrowed, looked at Han Wenlei and said, "Many people who attended the wedding know why it was canceled. You're twisting the truth and framing my daughter, ruining her reputation. I won't let this go. Don't think I don't know that the bad rumors about Jingjing are your doing. If you're so capable, let's settle this in the business world. What kind of skill is this?"
