Chapter 675 I left something behind
Jiang Rumei is quite adept at using this two-faced approach, which shows that she has done it quite often in her daily life.
Just now, only Cheng Meiyi and Qi Yao were in the same group. Everyone else was Jiang Rumei's accomplice. Even if they didn't speak up for her now, they wouldn't expose her secrets.
Hearing her turn around and accuse her, Cheng Meiyi laughed angrily: "They are all your people, so of course they will speak up for you. Even if you just called them 'bitch' and 'idiot' and even tried to hit them, you can now turn a blind eye and pretend nothing happened."
"She hit someone?" Qi Yingzhang's expression changed. "She hit you? Are you hurt?"
Jiang Rumei's face twisted for a moment upon hearing this: "Sister-in-law, that's not right. I didn't even touch you, but you hit me instead. My stomach is probably bruised by now, and it hurts terribly. I don't know if it's because I was hit too hard and suffered internal injuries."
Jiang Rumei's tone shifted abruptly, her voice softening: "Originally, I wasn't planning to pursue this matter because we're all family, but I didn't expect you to turn the tables and distort the truth. Isn't that going too far?"
Cheng Meiyi's face darkened, and she was about to say something when Madam Qi interrupted her first: "You mean they hit you?"
"Auntie, my stomach still hurts. If you don't believe me, you can check it yourself."
The subtext is that I am injured, and there is evidence of it.
Madam Qi chuckled and countered, "Then why don't you explain in detail why they hit you? What did you do to anger them?"
Jiang Rumei was stunned, then looked sad and said, "Auntie, even if you favor your own daughter and daughter-in-law, you can't slander me like this without any basis."
Jiang Rumei dared to make such a fuss because she had already asked Aunt Wang to deal with the cell phone Qi Yao was wearing, ensuring that it wouldn't get in the way.
Cheng Meiyi was wearing a wedding dress, so there was nowhere to put her phone on her person, and it would be inconvenient for her to carry it. Based solely on their one-sided statements, it doesn't count as evidence at all.
After Jiang Rumei finished speaking, her parents, Old Master Jiang, and Madam Qi's stepmother, who had just received the news, rushed over.
Seeing the group, Jiang Rumei became even more confident. Without the Qi family needing to explain, she explained the situation on her own.
The content she embellished, while not entirely contrary to the truth, was, in fact, completely irrelevant.
While the Jiang family members were surprised that Qi Yao was no longer stupid, they also sensed the subtle change in the atmosphere.
Jiang Rumei's mother's eyes darted around after hearing this, and she immediately interjected, "Elder sister, Yao Yao is all better now, and I never heard you mention it before. Today is Ying Zhang's big day, and Yao Yao has finally recovered. These are two very happy things, but I never expected such a misunderstanding to happen. Now that you've already hit each other, we can't say anything. There are so many guests outside, let's just let this matter go and not let outsiders laugh at us."
Madam Jiang quickly echoed her daughter-in-law's words, acting as a peacemaker, saying, "It's normal for children to fight. As the older sister, Rumei should give in to her younger sister. Let's just let this matter go."
Madam Qi was furious when she heard this. What did she mean by "You've already hit us, so we can't say anything"? It was as if they were being unreasonable, hitting people and then refusing to admit it.
To say that "as the older sister, she should give in to her younger sister" is to directly characterize the matter as their child's fault. Who is being wronged by putting on this act of being aggrieved and tolerant?
The Qi family was furious, and Qi Yao narrowed her eyes dangerously, her hand itching to strike.
Just then, a sudden sound came from outside.
"Yes, she's an idiot. She was born like that. I don't know if my aunt and uncle did too much bad karma to give birth to such an idiot. If you ask me, such a burden should be thrown away and left to fend for herself. Keeping her at home is a waste of food and a laughingstock. Look at her, isn't she glaring at me? Even if she glares, she's still an idiot, hahaha..."
[...]
"What's with the 'you're welcome' attitude? You really think marrying my cousin will make you an overnight success and secure your position as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Qi family? Let me tell you, he's just had too much of that fancy food and wants some simple porridge and side dishes to balance things out. Once he gets tired of you, your so-called 'young mistress' status will be nothing but a decoration. Giving me attitude like that, you don't even know if you're worthy."
[...]
[A fool, a lowly pauper...]
She's completely unworthy of my cousin!
Even if it wasn't me, it shouldn't have been her! My cousin is such an outstanding person; he deserves the best! Even if he doesn't marry a lady from a wealthy and respectable family, she should at least be his equal in looks and education, not some useless country girl who can't help him at all!
[...]
The atmosphere in the room suddenly froze. The smugness hidden beneath the gentleness on the Jiang family members' faces was frozen, while the Qi family members looked furious.
All eyes turned to the door of the lounge. Ye Wanxi held up her phone, which had finished playing, shrugged, and said innocently, "I was just passing by. It's a professional habit, so I left something behind."
That being said, such a complete recording with a beginning and an end could not possibly have been recorded casually.
In fact, after Ye Wanxi followed Cheng Meiyi backstage and heard the commotion in the dressing room, she immediately called Feng Tianyu and recorded the call.
As soon as Feng Tianyu answered the phone, he immediately heard the sounds coming from inside.
At that time, Feng Tianyu was still talking to the Qi family father and son. Madam Qi was a little bored by herself, so she came over to find her husband and son, and chatted with Feng Tianyu's mother and Du Yihuan for a few minutes.
Therefore, when the incident occurred, all three of them were with Feng Tianyu.
After listening for a few seconds, Feng Tianyu decisively pretended to accidentally press the speakerphone button, and the sound immediately came through.
The Qi family heard this commotion and then heard Feng Tianyu explain that Ye Wanxi seemed to have gotten lost backstage and wandered off somewhere.
Upon hearing this, the group realized that the place where Ye Wanxi had gotten lost was the lounge where their daughter (sister) was. They couldn't sit still any longer and rushed over.
Before the recording was played, the group was distracted by Qi Yao's joy at not being stupid and Jiang Rumei's distorted explanation, and didn't think about this matter.
Now that this recording has been released, the Qi family members are looking at Jiang Rumei with daggers in their eyes.
If looks could kill, she would probably be torn to pieces by now.
Aunt Jiang was also a woman of flexibility and resourcefulness. She thought she could use this opportunity to control Madam Qi, but unexpectedly, things took an unexpected turn, and she quickly changed her tune.
"Oh dear, Rumei is just too concerned about her cousin. Concern can cloud judgment, and she lost her temper and said a few inappropriate things. Meiyi, why are you taking it to heart..."
