The witness slowly typed a "?" in his mind, then mechanically turned to look at Liu Sisi, only to see Liu Sisi with a face full of resentment and anger.
Damn, that's it.
They messed up.
The witness was stunned, but He Jing kept pressing him, asking, "How much money did I give you, and how many votes did I ask you to give to others? Don't tell me too much, I'm poor, I might not be able to afford it."
The witness, forcing a smile, said, "This... I forgot about this..."
He Jing feigned surprise, widening her beautiful eyes: "No way, you just received the money and you've already forgotten about it? Your memory is terrible."
The witness chuckled dryly twice, then tried to slip away with an excuse: "I suddenly remembered my girlfriend is having an abortion today, and I have to go to the hospital with her, so I'll be leaving now..."
He Jing wasn't one to hold a grudge. She nodded, watching him practically flee in panic. Then she turned to Liu Sisi, a playful smile on her face, and said, "The witness you found seems to have some intellectual issues. What do we do? Are there any other witnesses?"
With things having come to this point, Liu Sisi had no choice but to remain stubborn and argue, "That's exactly what he told me before..."
“Oh—” He Jing still smiled, “Actually, I also have some evidence. If you’re interested, I’ll show it to you.”
Cheng Yi's head buzzed, and she quickly said, "No!"
She felt guilty.
Although she didn't know what evidence He Jing possessed, it was definitely detrimental to her, and she couldn't afford to suffer any further blows.
She didn't want to drop out of school and didn't want to disappoint Mr. and Mrs. Cheng.
Cheng Yi quickly walked up to He Jing, her eyes pleading, and said in a low voice, "Give...give Liu Sisi a chance. She didn't mean to frame you. Please forgive her this once, okay?"
Then, in a whisper that only the two of them could hear, she said, "He Jing, please forgive me this time for your brother's sake. I won't do it again."
He Jing just looked at her quietly, unable to understand why the person in front of her was so different from the female protagonist in the original work. She said indifferently, "I am not a person who can stand being wronged. Cheng Yi, this is the second time."
She still hasn't settled the score with the Cheng family for calling and scolding her last time.
Cheng Yi blushed and bit her lower lip without saying a word. Then she curled her fingers into a fist, as if she had made up her mind. She looked up at everyone and said loudly, "I admit that I rigged the votes. I am sorry for making this decision because of vanity. I apologize to Xu Bi!"
Liu Sisi and Zhang Man were stunned.
They rushed over and grabbed Cheng Yi's arm: "Xiao Yi, how could you say that..."
The evidence He Jing possesses may not necessarily be evidence of vote rigging.
Why not just take a gamble?
Cheng Yi brushed their hands away, glared at He Jing with resentment, and said to herself, "I'm sorry, I lied to you and made you suffer for me without knowing the truth. But now that the truth has been exposed, there's no point in hiding it anymore. I don't want you to be hurt because of me."
She can't afford to gamble.
She couldn't bear to look at the disappointed eyes of Cheng's parents, and she didn't want to slink away from Yin Gao like that.
That would make her feel inferior to He Jing, something she absolutely could not accept.
The real heiress will never lose to the fake heiress, and the imposter will always be an imposter. She is the true goddess, and even if she occasionally goes astray, she can make amends. She must surpass He Jing.
Liu Sisi and Zhang Man were deeply moved; they never expected that Cheng Yi would be willing to take on everything for them.
Little did He Jing know that Cheng Yi was only desperate and had no other choice. Her self-exposure could actually salvage her image. He Jing suddenly admired her wisdom, courage, and boldness. She was truly worthy of being the female lead. Her willingness to make a tough decision was admirable!
but……
He Jing smiled gently: "Ah, I didn't expect Cheng Yi to actually rig the votes. The evidence I have has nothing to do with vote rigging."
