The resounding accusations drew everyone's attention.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and exclaimed in surprise, "Hey? Isn't that the young master of the Chi family? He's a well-known bookworm and would never attend a banquet like this."
"I heard that he's not interested in anything other than studying. He must have come with his father to observe today!"
"People like this usually don't lie, right?"
"If one person is lying, then two people are telling the truth!"
In an instant, all eyes fell on Yi Tianran, their faces showing wariness, disdain, and contempt.
“We must call the police and arrest this ruthless person.”
"I never expected Mr. Fu to have such poor taste in women. I'm really disappointed in him!"
Hearing someone belittle Fu Yunchen, Chu Lin felt a surge of intense pleasure.
He would stop at nothing to ruin Fu Yunchen, disgrace him, and plunge him into despair.
Just when he thought the situation was settled, Yi Tianran said calmly, "You two are a couple, of course you'll cover for each other."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room was stunned.
Chi Rui, who had just accused Yi Tianran, and the waitress were both startled.
Chi's father subconsciously looked at his son.
"What nonsense are you spouting!" Chi Rui retorted instinctively.
"Is it that hard to admit?" Yi Tianran sneered. "Having a girlfriend who works as a waitress makes you feel so ashamed? But when you used her to frame me, you probably didn't have this heartless face!"
"You're spouting nonsense!" Chi Rui's face turned red with anger as he said furiously, "I don't know this woman at all. Don't try to ruin my reputation, and don't try to make excuses for your own crimes."
"So this is considered slander to you!"
Yi Tianran clicked her tongue twice, as if lamenting the fickleness of human relationships.
"If I have someone I like, no matter who they are or whether they are beautiful or ugly, I will openly announce to the world that this is my lover."
Her gaze then fell sympathetically on the waitress. "Do you really think he likes you? You were fooled by a few sweet words and were willing to risk your life to frame me. If he really cared about you, why would he let you risk your life?"
The waitress staggered back half a step, "I...I don't know what you're talking about..."
"He's probably assuring you that if you help him, he'll do everything he can to get his family to accept you and formally introduce you as his girlfriend, right?"
Yi Tianran's tone made it sound as if she were there herself.
"Haven't you seen through this scumbag's true colors yet? In front of so many people, he tried to distance himself from you, let alone introduce you to his family. You like such an irresponsible coward?"
In those ten or so minutes, Yi Tianran had enough time to use the three little ones' hacking skills to find out the waitress's identity and the people she had been in contact with.
And Chi Rui is the key breakthrough point.
The waitress suddenly felt a lump in her throat, "I..."
"You probably don't know, but he has a fiancée!" Yi Tianran said, taking out her phone from her pocket and showing her a photo.
In the photo, a sunny girl is affectionately holding Chi Rui's arm, and Chi Rui is looking at her tenderly.
This was undoubtedly a fatal blow to the waitress.
She was already feeling dizzy and lightheaded because of a head injury, and what sustained her was Chi Rui's promise to her.
Now that she knows the truth, she feels like the sky is falling.
Unable to bear it any longer, she knelt down with a thud, covered her face and cried bitterly: "Waaah, I was wrong... I shouldn't have believed him. He instructed me to frame you. He said you and he had a past relationship, and now you've taken over President Fu, so he's going to teach you a lesson. I was deceived by him. I'm sorry, Miss, I know I was wrong."
The entire audience was stunned by the unexpected turn of events.
“I have absolutely no emotional entanglement with this coward who uses women to achieve his goals. He doesn’t deserve to be compared to Fu Yunchen.” Yi Tianran glanced at him coldly. “I’m curious, what deep-seated hatred do you have for me? Why are you framing me? If I don’t explain myself clearly today, I’ll be locked up in jail. Do you want to ruin the rest of my life?”
"I didn't..." Chi Rui still struggled desperately, "It has nothing to do with me, they conspired to frame me!"
"You're talking nonsense!" The waitress was completely enraged this time. She got up from the ground, her eyes bloodshot, and said with great hatred, "I actually realized a long time ago that you probably weren't sincere towards me, but I kept deceiving myself until this lady woke me up. Did you think that everything would be fine once you cut ties with me?"
"I'm not stupid. Of course I had a backup plan. I recorded the photo of us together, the gift you gave me, and the thing you just asked me to do to frame this lady."
This time, she completely gave up and picked up her phone to turn on the recording device. The voice of Chi Rui telling her to frame Yi Tianran could be clearly heard from the recording.
"No..." Chi Rui clutched his head in anguish, his face filled with panic, and he subconsciously glanced in Chu Lin's direction.
The next second, he was so frightened by his sinister and unpredictable gaze, which seemed to drag people into an abyss, that he trembled all over.
The onlookers were stunned and began to express their disdain.
"I never expected that the young master of the prestigious Chi family would do such a despicable and shameless thing."
"Who says he's just a bookworm who only knows how to study? Isn't he just good at coming up with crooked ideas?"
"What did that girl do to offend him? Is he a psychopath to come up with such a vicious trick?"
“People with dirty hearts are truly defiling this place.”
If the insults from these people only made Chi Rui feel embarrassed, then his father's disappointed eyes were like a knife to his heart.
"Chi Rui, as a son of the Chi family, how could you do such a disgraceful thing? You have utterly disappointed me. I truly regret having given birth to a son like you," the father's angry voice rang out.
Chi Rui stumbled and fell to his knees.
Yi Tianran then coldly questioned, "Tell me, why did you do this?"
Chi Rui's face was deathly pale, as if he had already given up. "I framed you because I was jealous of Fu Yunchen. Just because we are the same age, my father has always compared me to him, constantly belittling me and pushing me to the bottom."
Of course I know my own abilities. How could someone as arrogant as the emperor be the same as me? I could never surpass him in my entire life, which is why I am even more unwilling to accept this.
I want to embarrass him, but I can't beat him. So I'll target the women around him, making him lose face, be mocked, and ridiculed!
