Chapter 13: A Video Slap in the Face
"I trusted you too much, only to find out you only know how to wrong yourself." Old Madam Ying's eyes were cloudy, but her gaze was extremely sharp. "I wonder who it was that, knowing it was their uncle who booked the room, still took a bath in it..."
"Shameless!"
Zhong Manhua's expression changed again.
Regardless of the circumstances, it is a fact that Ying Zijing seduced Jiang Moyuan.
That was a little over a month ago, on January 17th, shortly after Qingzhi Middle School had started its summer vacation.
As the year draws to a close, Ying Zhenting is busy managing the company, while Zhong Manhua is sending the eldest daughter of the Ying family to O Continent for a half-year exchange program.
This is a hard-won opportunity, and we absolutely cannot allow any mistakes.
There's no need to even consider whether the eldest daughter or the second daughter is more important.
However, since she was still her own daughter, Zhong Manhua couldn't completely put her mind at ease.
Fortunately, Ying Luwei offered to help take care of her, so Zhong Manhua stayed in Ozhou for a few more days without worry. However, before she could return, news came that Ying's adopted daughter had shamelessly seduced her uncle.
She immediately changed her flight and flew back to Shanghai, only then finding out what had happened.
Jiang Moyuan has always been accustomed to working at the Queen Center Hotel, which is common knowledge in Shanghai. The presidential suite on the 18th floor of the Queen Center Hotel is his private room.
But her own daughter actually dared to take a bath in there!
If she wasn't specifically trying to seduce Jiang Moyuan, what else could she be after?
Fortunately, Jiang Moyuan spared Ying Luwei's feelings and did not make it public, but he did not hesitate to go directly to the Ying family's door and tell them by name to discipline them properly.
So even though the matter was suppressed, rumors still started to circulate.
During those days, whenever Chung Man-wah encountered other wealthy families on the street, she would be mocked, both openly and secretly.
She's really had enough!
Zhong Manhua, barely suppressing her anger, said, "Hurry up and apologize!"
"Sister-in-law..." Seeing that she couldn't persuade her, Ying Luwei could only look at the girl, "Xiao Jin, your aunt knows this isn't your fault. Come over and comfort your sister-in-law. Getting angry is bad for your health."
Ying Zijing stood leaning against the door with her long legs slightly bent. Upon hearing this, she lifted her eyelids and asked, "Am I blind?"
"Xiao Jin, how could you be blind? You were perfectly fine..." Before she could finish speaking, Ying Luwei suddenly realized what was happening. She was shocked. "Xiao Jin, how could you say that? If it weren't for Mo Yuan, we wouldn't have been able to find you."
She frowned, clearly displeased.
Jiang Moyuan is the kind of man that all the socialites in Shanghai want to marry, how could he be blind?
Doesn't that mean I'm including her in the insults?
Ying Luwei pursed her lips, lowered her head, and looked very sad.
Madam Ying was furious to see her daughter being mistreated. She laughed in anger, "As expected of someone from a small county town, she can spout all sorts of nonsense!"
The servants naturally heard the commotion.
They looked over curiously, their gazes towards the girl filled with disdain.
Zhong Manhua's fingers were trembling; she had never felt so embarrassed before.
Moreover, this embarrassment was brought upon her by her own daughter.
Is she giving birth specifically to bring bad luck to her?
The thought sent a rush of blood to Zhong Manhua's head, making her head feel like it was about to explode.
She finally lost her temper and strode forward, about to pull the girl over—
A woman's soft voice suddenly rang out in the quiet living room.
"Xiao Jin, wait for me in room 1801 of the Queen Hotel. I've prepared some toiletries and new clothes for you there. After you've taken a shower, go to the Bund with your aunt, okay?"
"..."
Zhong Manhua was taken aback, somewhat surprised: "Luwei?"
Madam Ying was also somewhat surprised.
Ying Luwei suddenly raised her head, looking at the girl in disbelief.
It was just a normal phone call, why was it recorded?
Ying Zijing tossed her phone listlessly and turned off the recording: "Anything else?"
The new technology of the 21st century is really good; she didn't have to put in much effort at all.
This phone is great; it even automatically records calls.
Madam Ying suddenly felt embarrassed.
His old face froze there, turning pale and then red, and he was also very agitated.
Thinking back to what she said before, and then listening to this recording, I wish I could find a crack in the ground to bury myself in.
Ying Luwei quickly realized what had happened. She lowered her eyes and said softly, "Mom, sister-in-law, it's all my fault. I forgot about this. I asked Xiaojin to go over, but I went out for a while and asked Xiaojin to wait for me. I didn't expect Moyuan to come back early. Actually, nothing happened. I don't know how it got spread like this."
She smiled apologetically, "I explained it to Mo Yuan later, Mom, sister-in-law, it really wasn't Xiao Jin's fault, didn't I?"
The emotions were incredibly genuine.
Zhong Manhua glanced at the girl with a complicated expression, then sat back down on the sofa, this time remaining silent.
Madam Ying was extremely embarrassed and just wanted to get this matter over with as soon as possible.
She tapped her cane on the floor again, her eyes stern, but without her previous domineering air: "Fine, if it wasn't for the position of the Jiang family's matriarch, then why did you push Wei'er?"
These words reignited Zhong Manhua's anger, which had just subsided: "You knew your aunt had hemophilia, and you still did it?"
"Mom, sister-in-law, no..." Ying Luwei's eyes widened, looking very anxious, and she spoke first, "What are you talking about? Didn't I say that it has nothing to do with Xiao Jin? She even tried to help me up back then."
"Luwei, you don't need to explain for her. She's always been a liar, she's always been like this, and you're still indulging her?" Zhong Manhua was furious, slamming her hand on the table, her heart and lungs aching terribly. "Do you know what people on Weibo are saying about you?!"
ungrateful!
How big is this hat?
Just then, the butler, who was checking Weibo, suddenly spoke up: "Madam, Madam, something terrible has happened! Someone has released a video of the banquet."
"A video recording?" Zhong Manhua was also surprised. "Give it to me."
That was a private New Year's banquet, how could there be a video recording?
If there's a video recording, wouldn't there be no room for cover-up?
“It’s good that there’s a video recording.” Old Madam Ying sneered. “The facts are right in front of us, and the lies will fall apart.”
The housekeeper quickly handed over the phone and placed it in front of Zhong Manhua and Madam Ying.
Ying Luwei seemed to realize something, her expression changed slightly, and she was about to step forward to stop her.
But the video was playing automatically, and by the time she wanted to turn it off, it was too late.
In the video, the woman gracefully walks down the stairs. Halfway down, she takes a step back with her right foot, steps on her skirt, and falls down the stairs, while grabbing the girl behind her with one hand.
The girl was clearly a bit dazed, but managed to grab the handrail on the stairs in time to avoid falling down with him.
This video, less than twenty seconds long, was immediately posted as the top trending topic among the seventeen hot searches.
The book is currently set in late February, on March 24th, the Emperor Ying's birthday, and he will soon be seventeen.
Fu Yaonie's birthday is November 11th. He just turned 22, which is almost six years younger. It's so good to be young T^T
