Chapter 226: Exposing the Impostor
After hearing what she said, Jiang Lanruo's eyes lit up.
"As expected of my daughter, you're so smart. Once they get some reporters here, they'll film you meeting Li Beiting and the fact that the big-budget drama was handed over to you.
By then, everyone will be speculating about your relationship and understanding your abilities, and you will become completely famous."
Yao Yuanxin's face lit up with pride when she thought of that future. "So, Mom, I'm leaving this matter to you. Be sure to find those most well-known media reporters."
"Don't worry!" Jiang Lanruo said and left with high morale.
Yao Yuanxin smoothed her hair with satisfaction and asked the driver to drive her to her destination.
Then she got out of the car wearing high heels and walked into the store with a graceful figure.
But when he saw the place in front of him clearly, he was slightly stunned.
This... is clearly an open-air cafe.
Why would Li Beiting meet in a place like this?
However, she quickly realized that this would be more suitable for paparazzi to take secret photos, and she instantly became proud again.
She soon saw the most dazzling man in the cafe.
Li Beiting just sat there quietly, holding a cup of coffee in his hand, but his every move was full of unique charm that made people unable to take their eyes off him.
The surroundings were filled with the faint whispers of amazement from others.
He himself doesn't care at all, as if he was born to be the center of attention.
Such a man would compromise for her.
Thinking of this, Yao Yuanxin immediately walked forward with a sweet smile, "Brother Beiting, I'm sorry, I'm not late!"
She sat across from the man, took out a gift box, and said in a flattering manner, "I didn't mean to be late. It's just that on the way here, I specially picked out a watch for you. I think it suits your temperament very well. I hope you like it."
She pushed the box over.
Li Beiting didn't even glance at it, and said lightly, "No need."
Such a cold attitude made Yao Yuanxin's heart skip a beat, and she felt a sense of unease for some reason.
However, the man's face did not show any extra expression, and she had no way of guessing, so she could only continue to please him, "Brother Beiting, you don't have to be polite to me. You have given me so much help in the past six months, and you have given me resources and money. Now... this is just my small reward.
When I become a famous director in the future, I will repay you even more. To me, you are the most important man in my life."
She felt that what she said was very sincere and she was almost moved.
Li Beiting will definitely be persuaded by me and give her better resources.
The next second, she saw Li Beiting suddenly take something out of his arms and put it on the table.
The moment she saw the object clearly, her pupils shrank with fear and she stood up suddenly from the chair. The coffee cup in front of her fell to the ground, and the coffee inside splashed all over the floor, even scalding her ankle, but she didn't feel any pain.
"this……"
"This thing looks familiar to you, doesn't it?" Li Beiting picked up the Ruyi pendant he had borrowed from Jiang Yao and rubbed it carefully. "Is there anything you want to tell me?"
"This, this looks like my heirloom jade! Where did you find it?" Yao Yuanxin wanted to play dumb again.
Li Beiting was too lazy to continue the show and said word by word, "This is the real Ruyi pendant, the token of love that was originally worn by that little girl! And the one you have is a fake!"
Yao Yuanxin's face turned pale, and she quickly defended herself, "No, Brother Beiting, that little girl back then was me! That piece of jade was passed down from my grandfather. I don't know if it's real or fake, but I've worn it since I was a child. You didn't recognize the wrong person!"
Seeing Li Beiting's face becoming increasingly gloomy, Yao Yuanxin became so anxious that sweat broke out on her forehead.
An idea suddenly flashed through her mind, and she blurted out, "Oh, right, I think I accidentally lost my jade pendant once before. It's very likely that my original one was swapped with another one at that time?"
"Did someone come to you with this Ruyi Pendant? That woman must have known about our past and deliberately impersonated me..."
Yao Yuanxin actually turned the tables and blamed herself.
“That’s enough!”
Li Beiting finally couldn't stand it anymore, he stood up suddenly, and shot her with a sharp look like a knife.
"At this point, you're still playing dumb in front of me. Do you think I'll confront you without solid evidence?"
When he discovered that the real Ruyi was worn by Jiang Yao, Li Beiting began to investigate the truth.
He personally took action and indeed discovered the suspicious points.
“You said you saved my little girl, but after my investigation, I found that you had never been to the city where I was kidnapped as a child.
You said that you had a brain problem and suffered sequelae because of saving me, but I went to the hospital for a checkup and there was no such record at all. Your report was all forged..."
"So you staged all of this yourself! Your goal was to make me believe you were my savior so you could benefit from me."
Li Beiting made everything clear.
"No, I'm not! Brother Beiting, you really misunderstood me..." Yao Yuanxin was so anxious that she was at a loss, and unprecedented panic and fear surged in her heart.
She simply couldn't afford the cost of deceiving Li Beiting, so she could only keep denying it and pray for a glimmer of hope.
But the next second, it was broken by Li Beiting himself, "And the most important point is, the real owner of this jade pendant is Jiang Yao!"
Yao Yuanxin's pupils shrank when she heard this, as if she couldn't believe what she heard, and she muttered, "How could it be her..."
"You never expected that person is right next to me!" Li Beiting looked at her with cold eyes without a trace of warmth.
At this moment, Yao Yuanxin was completely panicked and grabbed Li Beiting's arm.
"Beiting, listen to me. I'm not doing this for personal gain. I just want to take this opportunity to get closer to you because I like you! Can't you see how much I've given you?"
Li Beiting shook her hand away, his tone as cold as frost: "You are not worthy of talking about feelings with me."
Yao Yuanxin felt a sharp pain in her heart and staggered for a moment, but she still refused to give up.
At this moment, Jiang Lanruo's voice came from a distance.
"Xinxin, I heard that Mr. Li plans to give you the script for Light Year Film and Television and let you be the director?"
She obviously hadn't figured out the situation yet. She came over with a big smile on her face and fawned over Li Beiting, "Mr. Li, thank you for your appreciation for our Xinxin. She's been more fortunate than others since she was young. It's her good fortune to be with someone like you!"
A group of reporters were lying in ambush not far away, filming the entire scene.
Jiang Lanruo spoke loudly on purpose so that the paparazzi could hear clearly.
The next second, her arm was poked. Yao Yuanxin's face turned pale and she quickly winked at her.
