Jiang Hao was suddenly slapped across the face, and he was completely caught off guard.
"Mom, what are you doing?! There are so many people watching, I was busy with work."
He felt somewhat embarrassed and reprimanded Madam Jiang in return.
As a result, Mrs. Jiang pulled him along, pointing to a scene on the big screen.
"Shut up! See for yourself."
The commotion between the two men was so intense that it looked like a monkey show to the guests.
Jiang Hao covered his face, staring at everything on the big screen in front of him, then suddenly shot a venomous glare at Lin Qingtong, "Did you do this?"
Lin Qingtong glanced lazily at Jiang Hao, stood beside Su Wanjun, and answered gracefully.
"Don't you know whether anyone has been in the room? I was at the banquet the whole time, how would I know that you and Qi Huimin were fooling around in the room?"
Since there's no evidence to prove Lin Qingtong did it, she won't admit it.
Jiang Hao gritted his teeth in anger, while the surrounding guests stared at him with strange looks and pointed fingers.
Madam Jiang grabbed his sleeve, winked at him, and then fell into his arms, pretending to faint.
Jiang Hao also realized what was happening and, supporting Madam Jiang, scolded Lin Qingtong.
"Look what you've done to Mom! Apologize right now, admit that you did all this, and call an ambulance."
"How exactly does your Lin family raise their daughter? This is outrageous!"
Lin Qingtong, holding a glass of red wine, splashed it directly onto Madam Jiang's face. Madam Jiang was immediately startled awake and shouted at Lin Qingtong.
"What are you doing? You actually threw wine in my face! Are you trying to rebel?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Qingtong put down the glass and stared coldly at Madam Jiang in front of her.
"Originally, if you had just pretended to faint and left, this farce could have ended, but now it's probably not possible."
"Ever since you brought this pregnant mistress home, I've decided I'm not going to let myself suffer anymore. If I'm unhappy, I'm going to make a scene."
“You gave the mistress 20,000 yuan for her birthday party, but you didn’t expect her to be different from me. She didn’t have any money to subsidize it and even withheld the money.”
Lin Qingtong paused, her gaze sweeping disdainfully over the surroundings.
"Look at this red wine, it's homemade wine purchased collectively, it has a cheap alcohol smell, you'd probably have to be hospitalized if you drank it. And these seafood ingredients, they've probably been frozen for who knows how many years."
“I also checked the fruit in the kitchen. It was all rotten fruit that the fruit shop had rejected. We just peeled it up and gave it to you. As for why some customers slipped and fell, you’ll have to ask Qi Huimin. They rented the cheapest carpet but didn’t even give them time to lay it down.”
"To the guests who came to the banquet, I apologize. I have made a fool of myself in front of you. From today onwards, I am no longer the young mistress of the Jiang family."
Sunlight filtered through the trees, casting dappled shadows that fell upon Lin Qingtong, as if bathing her in a soft glow.
She exudes a powerful aura; even in a simple dress, she commands attention.
Shen Tinghe's gaze fell on Lin Qingtong, and his smile deepened. He knew that this little woman wouldn't let him off so easily.
However, he likes people who are clear about their likes and dislikes.
At this moment, Shen Tinghe completely forgot about how Lin Qingtong had cruelly abandoned him. He only knew that the woman in front of him was radiating light and charm, which was stunning.
Qi Huimin happened to hear the commotion and came out of the room. Seeing the scene before her, she immediately questioned Lin Qingtong.
"What are you doing, sister? I finally managed to host a banquet, and you just have to come and ruin it?"
"I don't know how I offended you to treat me like this."
As she spoke, her eyes were red and she looked pitiful, waiting for Jiang Hao to speak up for her.
The voice of Jiang Hao speaking up for her, which she had imagined, did not come for a long time. Only then did Qi Huimin look at Jiang Hao and Madam Jiang. She saw that the two of them were standing there with their faces ashen, and their eyes were almost murderous as they looked at her.
The other guests behind them burst into laughter.
"This is probably what they call mistaking a fish eye for a pearl. I've seen it all. Lin Qingtong didn't cherish such a good wife and ended up bringing back such a worthless guy."
"Don't say it to her face, or Madam Jiang will be so angry that she'll pretend to faint again. Her acting skills are really good."
The strange, eerie voices around her reached Madam Jiang's ears, and she truly fainted, falling straight backward.
Qi Huimin then realized what was going on and hurriedly stepped forward to help Madam Jiang while simultaneously trying to sow discord between Jiang Hao and others.
"It's all my fault. Brother Hao, I shouldn't have been here. I apologize to my sister and hope that she can explain to everyone for the sake of the child."
She clutched her stomach, looking like she was about to cry, and gazed at Jiang Hao.
Jiang Hao had no time to consider Qi Huimin's feelings; he only heard the word "child" and immediately thought of something.
At this moment, he only wanted to suppress Lin Qingtong and regain some face, so he spoke to Lin Qingtong in a sinister tone.
"It's because you can't have children that I brought Qi Huimin back. You can't let our Jiang family line die out, can you?"
“I also said at the time that this child could be adopted into your name, so that you would have someone to rely on in your old age.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Qingtong scoffed.
"Do you think everyone is like you? You insist on having a child. Do you have a throne to inherit? You don't have much money, but you have a lot of trouble."
"Even if I have to be lonely for a while when I get old, I'll be happy to accept it. After all, I've lived a carefree life. What's wrong with suffering a little when I'm old? It's better than being exploited by your family and suffering all the time."
