Qiao Yu withdrew her hand, standing there helplessly, unsure whether to help or just watch.
Qiao Wenjuan lay on the ground, cursing and swearing, spitting everywhere.
She launched into a tirade of insults at Qiao Yu, as if Qiao Yu had committed some heinous crime.
Mingyao stepped forward, standing between Qiao Yu and Qiao Wenjuan.
"Auntie, let me help you up."
Mingyao reached out and took Qiao Wenjuan's wrist.
"You bitch, let go of my mother!"
An angry male voice rang out, and the next second, a pair of large hands shoved Mingyao's shoulder hard.
Caught off guard by the sudden shove, Mingyao staggered back two steps.
Lin Bin rushed over in one stride, looking worriedly at Qiao Wenjuan lying on her back on the ground.
Qiao Wenjuan, who had just been grimacing and spewing profanities, burst into tears upon seeing Lin Bin.
Her tears flowed like a burst dam, and her cries were deafening, as if she wanted the whole world to know how much she had suffered.
"Son, you've finally arrived!"
"Qiao Yu conspired with outsiders to murder me! We've spoiled a heartless wretch all these years!"
Qiao Wenjuan cried out in a pitiful voice, as if Mingyao and Qiao Yu had done something heinous to her.
Lin Bin's heart broke as he looked at Qiao Wenjuan lying on the ground, unable to move.
His eyes were bloodshot as he glared at Mingyao and Qiaoyu, his sharp gaze like a knife, as if he wanted to scrape two pieces of flesh off their faces.
Finally, he glared at Mingyao with a venomous look, gritting his teeth as he said, "Su Xueya, you sowed discord between me and Zhong Ruyi, instigated her to divorce me, and now you're trying to drive a wedge between us and my cousin!"
How could you be so vicious!
"What grudge do you have against our family that you would frame us like this!"
Qiao Wenjuan was stunned for a moment, then grabbed Lin Bin's sleeve.
"Son, what do you mean by that? Do you know her?"
Lin Bin's lips twitched twice, and he said with a forced smile, "More than just knowing each other? Mom, Zhong Ruyi insists on divorcing me, and it's because she's the one who instigated it behind the scenes!"
"Ruyi and I had such a good relationship, yet I listened to her slander!"
Faced with Lin Bin's accusations, Ming Yao almost burst out laughing.
He's really shameless; he made a mistake himself, yet he felt perfectly justified in shifting the blame onto her.
Qiao Wenjuan already disliked Mingyao, and after hearing Lin Bin's words, she wished she could jump up from the ground and tear Mingyao to pieces.
"How can there be such a vicious woman in this world?"
"I'd rather tear down ten temples than break up one marriage. You've ruined my son's happy family and now you want to lead my niece astray!"
"Is there any justice left in this world?!"
Qiao Wenjuan's wailing attracted a large crowd of onlookers.
She lay on the ground, her eyes red and swollen from crying, and kept venting to Mingyao.
In her words, Mingyao was a wicked woman with a heart of stone, while Lin Bin was an exceptionally good man.
Unaware of the situation, passersby believed Qiao Wenjuan's slander and began to gossip.
"Was she unhappy in her own life, so she went to break up other people's families?"
"How could such a pretty girl do such a disgusting thing?"
The discussion wasn't loud, but Mingyao could hear it clearly.
Qiao Wenjuan and Lin Bin knew how to play the victim and distort the truth, and so did she.
Just as everyone was criticizing Mingyao, she burst into tears in front of everyone.
Her cries were heart-wrenching and utterly tragic, leaving Lin Bin, Qiao Wenjuan, and the onlookers stunned.
Lin Bin was the first to react, and sneered, "You did something wrong, and you still have the nerve to cry?"
"Everyone here is a reasonable person. Don't think that just because you're pretty and can shed a few tears, you can act unreasonably and do whatever you want!"
Lin Bin's words stirred up the onlookers once again.
A cold smile flashed in Mingyao's eyes.
Lin Bin was quite shrewd; with just a few words, he managed to drag the onlookers into the fray and put them on the same side as him.
That's what makes it so interesting.
Mingyao composed herself, and tears streamed down her face.
"Lin Bin, when you love me you say I'm obedient and well-behaved, but when you don't love me you say I'm unreasonable and argumentative?"
She looked at Lin Bin with tears streaming down her face, appearing utterly heartbroken.
These words immediately caused an uproar among the onlookers.
Caught off guard, Lin Bin stood there dumbfounded, looking at Ming Yao with a puzzled expression.
Mingyao's tears fell like pearls from a broken string, her voice even more hoarse: "Back then, you hid the fact that you were married in order to be with me."
"By the time I found out you were getting married, everything that should have happened and shouldn't have happened had already happened."
"But you say you don't love your wife, even though she treats you badly."
“I feel sorry for you. I listened to your slander and mistakenly thought that your wife was really a heinous villain and that she really humiliated you.”
"But what about it?"
With tears streaming down her face, Mingyao continued, her voice trembling with emotion, "You spend your wife's money to buy me handbags, and you're a manager at your husband's company."
"You're worthless without your wife, yet you deceived my feelings and took my body, and now you're slandering and defaming your wife in front of me!"
Lin Bin was dumbfounded. What was this all about?
What connection does he have with Mingyao?
The number of times the two met could be counted on one hand.
"Su Xueya, you, you're talking nonsense!"
The incident happened suddenly, and countless eyes were fixed on him.
Panic and helplessness made Lin Bin stutter, and his explanation sounded dry and weak.
For a moment, Qiao Wenjuan doubted whether Mingyao was telling the truth.
"Waaah, I came to the company gate to find you because I was so angry."
"And then we saw you bullying Qiao Yu, who is only a sophomore in college!"
"You arranged for Qiao Yu to go on a blind date with a man more than twenty years her senior just to get more money. What are you really up to?!"
"I was so angry that I argued with you, and you started throwing mud at me!"
"God is reasonable, and everyone's eyes are discerning; they will not be deceived by you!"
While crying, Mingyao recounted the disgusting things Lin Bin and Qiao Wenjuan had done.
Many people present began to feel sorry for Qiao Yu and Ming Yao.
Everyone pointed the finger at Qiao Wenjuan and Lin Bin.
"What a despicable person! Using his own niece as a tool for a marriage alliance!"
"Heh, they keep saying they're ungrateful to their own niece, but if they treated me like that, I'd run away before they could!"
"They're just taking advantage of the young girl's age!"
More and more people are speaking up for Mingyao and Qiaoyu.
Hearing these people accusing Qiao Wenjuan and Lin Bin, Qiao Yu felt somewhat dazed.
She thought she had wronged Qiao Wenjuan and Lin Bin, but she didn't realize that she hadn't done anything wrong.
Lin Bin and Qiao Wenjuan were taking advantage of her kindness and trying to use her to gain benefits.
It turns out that she wasn't the ungrateful wretch Lin Bin and Qiao Wenjuan described.
Qiao Yu burst into tears upon realizing this, gazing tearfully at Lin Bin and Qiao Wenjuan.
