Ling Yunlong was surprised that the guests would bring up his extramarital affair again, and he felt embarrassed, as if he had been slapped in the face in public. He was so embarrassed that he wanted to leave the room as soon as possible.

If it were an ordinary banquet, they would leave as soon as they were told to.

The problem is that Ling Tian and Liang Feifan's engagement banquet was so grand that, as the woman's father, he naturally couldn't leave early.

With no other options, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and endure the mocking glances from the surrounding guests, quickly changing the subject while talking to Ling Mo:

"Everyone's waiting for the newcomer to give their speech, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and take a seat!"

Ling Mo raised an eyebrow, said nothing, casually chose a nearby seat and sat down, eating his meal with a composed expression.

Anyway, she had already gained a lot of fans for Song Xingwan through her actions and had also angered Su Yu to the point of near death. Since the purpose of this trip had been achieved, she could choose to ignore whatever happened next as long as it didn't involve her.

Unexpectedly, just as she sat down, Ling Tian, ​​who was standing on the stage, suddenly spoke, once again drawing everyone's attention back to Ling Mo.

“Brother Feifan, didn’t you say that there is only one ‘Heart of the Deep Sea’ in the whole world? Why does the necklace on my sister’s chest look so much like the ‘Heart of the Deep Sea’ you gave me?”

As soon as Ling Tian finished speaking, all eyes in the room turned to Ling Mo.

Ling Mo, who was engrossed in her meal, paused for a moment, subconsciously glancing at the necklace on her chest, and couldn't help but frown.

She was in such a rush to leave today that she forgot to take off the high-quality replica of the 'Heart of the Deep Sea' that she's been wearing lately.

Now, Ling Tian has seized on this, creating unnecessary trouble.

"What a pig-brain..."

Ling Mo muttered a frustrated remark about his momentary lapse in attention.

In fact, she already knew that the necklace Qin Beiming gave her was a high-quality replica of the engagement necklace that Liang Feifan had given to Ling Tian at great expense.

However, she didn't really care about whether it was a high-quality replica or not. Once she put it on, she was too lazy to take it off, which is why it's still around today.

Seeing that Liang Feifan didn't reply, Ling Tian nudged him with her elbow again, feigning an innocent and harmless look, and whispered:

"Brother Feifan, take a look! Isn't my necklace exactly the same as the one my sister is wearing?"

"They do look somewhat similar. However, I have no idea where she got them. As everyone knows, there is only one 'Heart of the Deep Sea,' and it is precisely because of its rarity that it is so precious."

Liang Feifan sneered, the sarcasm in his words evident.

Upon hearing this, the guests at the banquet suddenly looked at Ling Mo with strange expressions.

Upon seeing this, Xiong Chumo's face suddenly lit up with excitement. She pulled Wu Xinyi, who was sitting beside her, and said in a sarcastic tone:

"She really is a low-class prostitute! Wearing a high-quality fake necklace, she dares to attend a banquet without feeling ashamed."

"She even dared to steal her sister's fiancé, what wouldn't she dare to do? It's just a high-quality counterfeit necklace, what's there to be afraid of wearing in public?"

Wu Xinyi's eyes widened, her mind filled with only one thought: to watch Ling Mo make a fool of himself in public.

Although she was terrified of Ling Mo's methods of harassing people, the thought of Ling Mo becoming the laughingstock of the entire Linjiang made her decide to boldly join Xiong Chumo in recklessly smearing Ling Mo.

The ladies from prominent families sitting beside Xiong Chumo and Wu Xinyi, seeing their seamless and harmonious performance, became somewhat interested. One of them asked curiously:

"Is it true that the Ling sisters are vying for the position of the young master of the Liang family? I heard someone say before that the young master of the Liang family had been in love with Miss Ling for many years and was about to get married when Miss Ling the second intercepted him."

Xiong Chumo's mocking gaze frequently fell on Ling Mo, as if she wanted to use every insult imaginable:

"Xiaotian and Feifan's relationship has always been stable, so there's no question of her stealing someone else's place. As for Ling Mo, her actions today are indeed a bit puzzling. Given her shamelessness, it's highly likely that she deliberately wore the same necklace to attract Feifan's attention."

In fact, her defense of Ling Tian wasn't based on a strong friendship between them. She simply wanted to attract Liang Feifan's attention and win his favor.

With Liang Feifan and Ling Tian's marriage a done deal, Xiong Chumo, wanting to take advantage of the situation, has to find another way. Currently, only by becoming Ling Tian's best friend can she gain more opportunities to get closer to Liang Feifan…

"No wonder Miss Ling was parading around wearing a high-quality counterfeit necklace; it turns out she was trying to scam Miss Ling. It seems Miss Ling is quite shrewd indeed!"

"The public opinion is a mix of truth and falsehood, and I can't tell who to believe anymore."

"Judging from the widely circulated video online, Miss Ling is undoubtedly the victim. However, her actions today are truly puzzling. If she has no feelings for the young master of the Liang family, why would she go to such lengths to obtain a high-quality counterfeit necklace and humiliate herself?"

...

Upon hearing Xiong Chumo's explanation, the socialites and heiresses around her couldn't help but launch into another round of criticism.

Most of these people were willing to believe Ling Mo.

Of course, there are also a few who are blind to the truth and are still kept in the dark by Ling Tian's hypocritical mask.

Ling Mo calmly took in all the sympathetic, amused, or contemptuous glances around him, without showing the slightest embarrassment on his face.
