Chapter 354 Telephone Confrontation
Zheng Baihong's words caused another uproar in the audience.
The man's expression froze abruptly, then he roared, "Impossible! Manting could never have done such a thing! It was you! You must be the ones who deliberately framed her!"
“Slander?” Zheng Baihong’s eyes were full of sarcasm. “You think too highly of yourself and Ju Manting. Everyone in the Qin Workshop knows about this. Ever since your sister Ju Manting joined the Qin Workshop, she has been intentionally or unintentionally seducing a senior brother who is highly regarded by the teachers.”
"This senior's wife is a famous talented woman in the music department. The two were childhood sweethearts and got married right after graduating from university. Their relationship has always been very close, and no one has the right to interfere. But your sister has been using the excuse of asking your senior for advice to get close to her every day. At first, your senior didn't think much of it. But unexpectedly, half a month later, your sister confessed her feelings to him."
"You're lying, you're lying! Xiaoting couldn't possibly have done that!"
Zhao Xiaoqin had a good relationship with her senior brother and sister-in-law, so she was even more disgusted by Ju Manting's behavior.
Seeing the man putting on a self-deceiving act of "I won't listen, I won't listen," she grew even angrier and said angrily, "Brother Zheng already said that everyone at the Qinfang knows about this. If you don't believe me, I can call them over to testify right now. Or you can have Ju Manting come over now, and we can confront each other face to face and see who is lying."
"I don't believe it. You're all in cahoots. The owner of the music studio is your own mother, and they're all your parents' students. Of course, whatever you say goes. I don't believe it!"
Zhao Xiaoqin was so angry at the man's shamelessness that she laughed: "Fine, then call Ju Manting over so she can confront us in person. Call her now, immediately!"
The man pursed his lips, remained silent, and adopted a non-violent, non-cooperative stance.
Zhao Xiaoqin didn't argue with him and directly called her parents, asking them to send her Ju Manting's contact information.
Ju Manting had worked at the music studio before, and even though she was later kicked out, her contact information was not hard to find.
Zhao Xiaoqin quickly obtained Ju Manting's phone number and dialed it in front of everyone.
As soon as the call connected, everyone heard a soft, gentle female voice: "Hello, who is this?"
"Ju Manting, you should be able to recognize my voice, right?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time, it was hard to tell whether it was out of guilt or genuinely trying to remember who the voice belonged to.
After about ten seconds, the group heard the person cautiously ask, "Are you... Xiaoqin?"
Zhao Xiaoqin was amused by her hypocrisy, and the contempt and disgust in her eyes intensified.
With so many things happening tonight, and the man on the ground being her own brother, Zhao Xiaoqin didn't believe that Ju Manting was completely unaware of what had happened.
"It's me. I heard you've been telling everyone that my piano skills are inferior to yours, my interpersonal relationships are inferior to yours, and that I even got to be on 'Tales of Ancient Music' tonight because I took your spot. You even used my parents' connections to smear you and kick you out of the music studio. Is that true?"
Ju Manting caught her breath and said awkwardly, "No...no, I didn't say that."
"Really? I thought you were going to say that. If that's the case, then I'll have to confront you about how you seduced Senior Brother Wang and tried to break up someone else's family."
There was another silence on the other end of the phone, before a tearful rebuttal finally came through: "I...I didn't."
Even through the phone line, Zhao Xiaoqin could smell the scheming and hypocritical aura emanating from the other person. She rolled her eyes and sneered, "You know perfectly well how you confessed to your senior brother knowing he already had a family, how you relentlessly pursued him after being rejected, and how you were caught by his wife and kicked out of the music studio. We have video footage of it all."
"If you dare to say such nonsense again, I don't mind posting them all online and letting people see your eagerness to become a mistress."
Zhao Xiaoqin's words hit the nail on the head. Ju Manting broke her silence and even changed the tone of her voice.
"No, you can't do that. It's illegal."
"When you did those things before, why didn't you think about how they were immoral? Now you're telling me they're illegal?"
Everyone understood immediately: Zhao Xiaoqin was telling the truth, and the one lying was Miss Ju, who had failed in her attempt to become a mistress and was kicked out.
Ye Wanxi looked at Zhao Xiaoqin, who was gripping her phone tightly and had a cold expression, and nodded approvingly, unable to help but smile.
As Ju Manting's brother listened to what his sister said on the phone, his face turned pale and then white, then pale and then pale again.
Finally, he simply gave up struggling and lay on the ground with a numb expression, as if he were dead.
Zhao Xiaoqin had no sympathy for him whatsoever. If it weren't for Ye Wanxi, her face would have been ruined long ago. And this heartless man might have stabbed her a few more times after ruining her face.
These two siblings, one ruining her reputation, the other wanting her disfigured and killed, are both no good.
“Speaking of breaking the law, I just remembered something. Your brother heard your lies that turned black into white and thought I had stolen your chance to perform on stage. He took advantage of his position to destroy the piano I was going to use on stage, and just now he attacked me with a knife, trying to disfigure me.”
“Even if it was an attempt, it was still intentional assault, and there are witnesses and physical evidence. I will call the police and sue him in a moment.”
"What did you say? This is impossible, my brother..." It was clear that Ju Manting was completely panicked. There was a clattering sound on the other end of the phone, probably because a lot of things had been knocked over.
Hearing their identical reactions, Zhao Xiaoqin laughed out loud: "You two really are siblings, your rebuttals are exactly the same, all you can say is impossible. Unfortunately, the police only look at the evidence, they don't care whether you believe it or not. I just wanted to remind you that this matter is already settled, your brother will definitely go to jail."
"As for your family, my guqin is valued at around ten million, and strictly speaking, it's an antique. Your brother damaged it, so he naturally has to pay for it. You'd better find a way to raise the money as soon as possible. Otherwise, it won't just be a matter of spending your life in jail."
"Ten million!" Ju Manting screamed, but before she could say anything, Zhao Xiaoqin had already hung up the phone.
Ju Manting stared at the black screen of her phone, clutched her chest, and slumped onto the sofa, her eyes glazed over. Only two words echoed in her mind: It's over!
Zhao Xiaoqin's threat to call the police wasn't just a scare tactic.
After hanging up with Ju Manting, she immediately dialed the police.
As the parties involved, Zhao Xiaoqin and others cooperated with the police in giving statements, and the man was also taken away by the police.
