Meng Yao was still immersed in the performance. She wiped her tears and bowed deeply. "Thank you!"
"It's a great honor for me to be able to join the art troupe. I will definitely work hard and live up to the country's cultivation of me..."
"Wait a moment!"
Aunt Wang's voice was so loud, like a megaphone, "Meng Yao, you're so bold to make up such lies! Even the storybook wouldn't dare say that!"
When Meng Yao saw Aunt Wang walking up to the stage arm in arm with Yuan Jinhua, she thought to herself that something was wrong. This old woman usually likes to meddle in other people's business, and she must have been holding back her fart today.
Everyone present, including the judges, was confused. What was going on?
Meng Yao, out of pride, could only say aggrievedly, "Aunt Wang, you... why did you bring my aunt here? I... I said that as long as I get into the art troupe and get paid, I will definitely support my aunt. Why are you forcing me?"
Her mind worked very quickly. As soon as she said this, everyone looked at her with deep pity, and looked at Aunt Wang and Yuan Jinhua with contempt.
"You...you are really good at talking nonsense. I asked you when were you abused by your aunt?"
Aunt Wang's chest heaved with anger. "Look at what you're wearing. Not a single thing wasn't earned by her. And then look at your aunt. She's got patches upon patches on her clothes, even her shoes are torn."
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Yuan Jinhua's shoes. There were indeed several holes in them, and her toes were exposed.
Although Yuan Jinhua's face was pale and thin, one could tell that she had a kind face and didn't look like a bad person at all. What had gone wrong?
Aunt Wang continued to scold him without hesitation, "She worked so hard to make paper and eat meat for you, and she would not have had advanced lung cancer. Now that you have made it into the art troupe, is this how you repay her?"
Everyone was stunned. Who was telling the truth?
If what this aunt said is true, then Meng Yao is really terrible. Repaying kindness with resentment is like being an ungrateful person!
Seeing that the aunt's words had taken effect, Meng Yao's face turned red and blue, which was really ugly.
"Auntie, you can't distort the facts just because you have a good relationship with my aunt. Everyone in the neighborhood knows what kind of person I am!"
She smiled pretending to be magnanimous, deciding to get through this hurdle first and then try her best to cover it up later.
As she spoke, she looked at Yuan Jinhua with a look of grievance, "Aunt, please go back with Aunt Wang first. I feel embarrassed with so many leaders looking at me. Regardless of whether I join the art troupe or not, as long as I earn money and get a salary, I will definitely support you and your brother!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Meng Yao, saying that she was truly a rare and well-behaved girl.
Meng Yao unexpectedly gained another wave of favor. Aunt Wang was furious, "Meng Yao, you've been lying all along. Why did you secretly sell your aunt's only house?"
"She raised you, and now she has a terminal illness and needs help, but you secretly sold her house. How is this any different from murder?"
As soon as Aunt Wang finished speaking, everyone's surprised and suspicious eyes fell on Meng Yao again, and their three views were instantly shattered.
Meng Yao was about to retort, but a pair of hands suddenly grabbed her tightly.
"I... I finally found you. They said this house doesn't belong to you at all. What's going on?"
The couple who came to view the house finally squeezed through the heavy crowd and got onto the stage. The woman held onto Meng Yao's hand tightly.
The woman pointed at Meng Yao and said, "They said your aunt has cancer and this house is her only life-saving money. You shouldn't sell it to me. Is this true?"
