Seeing that public opinion was overwhelmingly in favor of the other side, Ling Tian's expression grew increasingly grim.
She was deeply afraid that the fire of public opinion would spread to her and affect her reputation as the number one socialite in Linjiang City.
To protect herself, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and take a risky gamble, hoping that the flames of public opinion would backfire on Ling Mo.
The next instant, she feigned fright, quickly hiding behind Ling Yunlong, and timidly said:
"Dad, I suspect I've been given Chinese medicine like Mom. It's so hot, and it feels like ants are gnawing at my skin. I'm so scared..."
These words caused an uproar.
The media outside the door began whispering amongst themselves, their eyes filled with suspicion and confusion.
"What's going on? What do you mean by that, Miss Ling? Could it be that Su Yu and she have both been drugged?"
"Didn't Miss Ling say that Su Yu didn't have any Chinese medicine at all and was just pretending to be crazy?"
"Let's see how things go. If the second young lady of the Ling family is indeed under the influence of traditional Chinese medicine, then the eldest young lady of the Ling family is a prime suspect."
...
Bai Jie hadn't expected Ling Tian's acting skills to be even better than Su Yu's. To prevent the tide from turning again, she quickly spoke up in defense of Ling Mo:
"In my opinion, this eldest Miss Ling doesn't seem like the type to scheme. She is indeed a bit aloof, but she's quite pleasant to be around. On the other hand, this second Miss Ling is much more cunning than Bi Gan. She's definitely not someone to be trifled with."
“There’s some truth to that. I’ve been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and I have a very good eye for people. This second young lady of the Ling family came out acting like a victim, and she always seemed so timid, which gave me the impression that she was trying too hard to hide something. I have to say, she’s really overacting.” Ryan nodded and casually agreed.
Bai Jie's assistant was also very quick-witted and added:
"I think this second young lady of the Ling family is quite good at catching the camera. Every time her body trembles, she glances at the camera."
The media reporters blocking the doorway finally realized what they were talking about after hearing what they said.
Realizing that he had been outmaneuvered by Su Yu and Ling Tian, he felt very uncomfortable and wanted to immediately edit a text, post a picture of Su Yu with a seductive look, and send it directly to various platform clients.
At the same time, seeing Ling Tian timidly hide behind Ling Yunlong, Su Yu, who was still immersed in extreme panic a second ago, immediately reacted.
She wrapped the bedsheet tightly around herself, took small, labored steps, and walked to Ling Yunlong. Raising her swollen cheek, her eyes blurred with tears, she sobbed:
"Yunlong, you must believe me, I was framed. Think about it, how could a normal person secretly leave the banquet and rush to stage such an absurd spectacle? Besides, Xiaotian also showed signs of being drugged, which proves that what I said is true, she really was drugged to... to..."
"Why is Miss Ling's reaction after taking the medicine different from Su Yu's? Could it be that one of them is faking it?" Bai Jie's assistant reacted quickly and hit the nail on the head.
Ryan smiled and glanced approvingly at Bai Jie's assistant, then said unhurriedly:
"In my opinion, the expressions and behaviors of Su Yu and the second young lady of the Ling family at this moment do not seem like the reactions one would expect after being drugged."
"Isn't this just like that saying? Life is like a play, and it all depends on acting skills."
Bai Jie covered her mouth and giggled.
Witnessing Su Yu's miserable state, she suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction, as if she had finally gotten her revenge.
Bai Jie's assistant nodded emphatically, her tongue eloquent:
"The Best Actress truly lives up to her title. Not only is her acting superb, but even her own daughter is a natural-born actress. Amazing!"
The ever-curious entertainment reporters also added with a smile:
“I think the second young lady of the Ling family is better at acting than Su Yu. They clearly belong to different acting systems. Su Yu is the exaggerated type, while the second young lady of the Ling family is more sincere when she is acting on set.”
Su Yu was worrying about how to explain everything that had just happened to Ling Yunlong, but the group of busybodies at the door disturbed her and made her lose her composure. She was so angry that her face turned pale and then red, and she looked like she was about to die, which was very miserable.
She originally intended to insist that Ling Mo had drugged her and Ling Tian, but then she thought about it again and realized that there were many key points in the matter that couldn't stand up to scrutiny.
First of all, her leaving the table midway without any apparent reason is highly suspicious.
If we delve deeper into this matter, she has no way of revealing the anonymous text message. Once the message is revealed, it would confirm that she and President Li conspired to persecute Ling Mo.
Furthermore, being caught drugging a minor is far more serious than being caught having an affair.
If things go wrong, you could face imprisonment.
After careful consideration, she had no choice but to suppress her raging anger and shift all the blame onto President Li, who had already fled in disarray.
"Yunlong, I know! It must be that lecherous Li Tao who did this! You have to stand up for me and Xiaotian!"
"Actress Su, you must have misremembered, right? In that situation just now, you were clearly the one who took the initiative. I have a feeling that the person who was drugged was actually President Li, who ran away with his pants up!" A reporter from a well-known website, leaning against the door, bluntly said, seeing that Su Yu's reputation was beyond saving.
"Stop spouting nonsense!"
Su Yu's chest trembled violently, and her nostrils flared wildly, making her appear extremely angry.
"Shut up!"
Ling Yunlong was humiliated by Su Yu. Seeing that she still dared to offend the media, he slapped Su Yu across the face, causing her to fall to the ground with blood streaming from her nose.
