Chapter 81: The First Time I Experienced What It Means to Be Unable to Defend Yourself



"That's enough! From the beginning, I think you deliberately wanted to take advantage of Miaomiao's kindness to murder her. How dare you turn the tables on me?"

Wen Ying held her daughter in her arms, looking at Zhou Man with disgust. Every time she thought Zhou Man was shameless enough, she always managed to refresh her perception of her. God knows how terrified she was when she found out Miaomiao had fallen into the water. Miaomiao's health had finally improved after being nursed back to health by her family, but now she fell into the water and vomited blood again.

"We can't afford to offend a vicious person like you, but we can afford to avoid you. From now on, where you are, there will be no me."

"I don't dare to be alone with her, lest I end up like Shi Miao, rescuing people until I vomit blood and then get smeared."

Others expressed their opinions and avoided Zhou Man as if she were garbage.

Zhou Man was in tears: this was not the result she wanted.

Shen Rou stepped forward, pulled Zhou Man up from the ground, and dragged her towards the gate.

"My house doesn't accept trash, so get as far away from me as you can."

"Mom, how could you do this to Manman?"

Qin Nanyu arrived late, his wounds finally healed. Seeing Zhou Man helpless as her mother pulled her away, his heart broke. How could his mother treat his savior and sweetheart like this? He thought his mother would understand his feelings the moment she saw the necklace he had specially given her. He was the one who would spend his life with his wife, so he naturally had to choose what he liked, not what she liked.

He had already heard from the servants what happened at the lake.

Zhou Man is so kind, and she even let bygones be bygones and asked him to pursue Shi Miao and treat Shi Miao well. How could she possibly push Shi Miao into this?

It should be the other way around.

Shi Miao must have wanted to ruin Zhou Man's reputation, and was jealous of his affection for her, so he deliberately pushed her into it. She grew up in poverty, and all kinds of tricks to frame people were at her fingertips. Zhou Man was filled with guilt towards her, and even after being betrayed by her, she still believed in her. How could she be a match for Shi Miao?

"Shi Miao, why do you always target Zhou Man?"

He looked at Shi Miao angrily, and was startled by her blood. Why was she vomiting so much blood?

Qin Xialan, who was always good-natured, couldn't bear to watch it anymore. "Look at the marks on Shi Miao's body where Zhou Man pinched him. Say what you just said again?"

Shen Rou said coldly: “If you are blind, you can throw it away.”

Qin Nanyu looked at Zhou Man, who was wet but intact, and then looked at Shi Miao, who looked particularly miserable in contrast. All the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat... Shi Miao now looked much more pitiful and miserable than Zhou Man.

Shen Rou directly dragged her son with her other hand, "You just go with her."

Qin Nanyu staggered as she dragged him, and tried to struggle... but she was too strong, and he couldn't get away at all. After all, Shen Rou participated in the marathon every year and won a place, so her physical fitness was very good.

He felt that the people around him were looking at him with contempt and disdain.

At this time, the housekeeper came over and said, "The surveillance cameras nearby have been checked out."

Zhou Man's body stiffened, and the blood on her face turned even paler. "There are surveillance cameras nearby? There clearly weren't any before..."

This manor had previously belonged to the Zhou family, and it was one she loved very much. Zhou Man used to come here for vacation every year, and she knew the manor like the back of her hand. That was why she dared to fall down on her own, because she knew Shi Miao would not have any evidence.

Shen Rou paused and said, "Project the surveillance footage to the big screen for me."

She rolled her eyes at Zhou Man. "When I bought the manor, I had someone install surveillance cameras. There's an artificial lake nearby, so of course they had to be installed. Otherwise, if someone fell in, the security wouldn't be able to spot them immediately. Why else do you think we got here so quickly?"

There was a hint of sarcasm in her tone.

Qin Nanyu was quite happy. If there was surveillance, and if Shi Miao was the one who caused Zhou Man to fall into the water, it would be a good opportunity for everyone to see Shi Miao's true face.

As he watched, his expression changed from anticipation to shock, confusion, and inability to accept...

The big screen captured it clearly. Zhou Man and Shi Miao were chatting, and halfway through, without anyone pushing her, Zhou Man's body fell backwards and fell into the lake. When Shi Miao saw her fall into the water, he jumped in to save her.

Because the underwater scene could not be captured, all we could see were the splashes of water caused by Zhou Man's desperate struggle.

The two of them struggled under the water for a long time. Finally, Shi Miao dragged the exhausted Zhou Man to the shore, vomiting blood from time to time.

Later, the Qin family's security guards came out and rescued them both to shore. After reaching shore, Shi Miao vomited blood even more violently.

In front of such an image, even Qin Nanyu, who was partial to Zhou Man, was speechless and could not say that Shi Miao framed Zhou Man.

Zhou Man's face turned pale, and her lips trembled. "No, we were clearly underwater, and Shi Miao had been trying to kill me."

Wen Ying, who was originally holding her daughter, couldn't bear to hear it anymore. However, she was still holding Shi Miao and couldn't go over to teach Zhou Man a lesson. Wang Hui was different. She stepped forward and slapped Zhou Man twice, both sides of her face. Zhou Man's face was swollen on the spot.

"That's enough! How long are you going to keep distorting the truth? Look at the pinch marks on Miaomiao's body. I think from the beginning to the end you took advantage of her soft-hearted nature, jumped into the water on your own initiative, tricked her into going down to save you, and then tried to murder her underwater, right?"

"You think there's no surveillance around here and no one can see your crime. You're worthy of being your mother's biological daughter. Your vicious heart is exactly like hers."

For the first time, Zhou Man realized what it meant to be unable to defend herself. Her tears fell like pearls that had fallen from the string, but they only matched her swollen face. It was not very beautiful and it made people feel no sympathy for her.

"I didn't. I didn't pinch her. I'm not that kind of person."

She just wanted to get enough of the life where everyone was calling her a villain and wanted to make Shi Miao lose all his reputation, but she never thought of killing Shi Miao. But Shi Miao really wanted to kill her. She told the truth, but no one believed her and they all regarded her as a vicious woman.

Zhou Man began to regret it. Shi Miao was not only better than her, but also a better actor than her. She could not beat her at all.

She looked at Qin Nanyu with eyes asking for help.

But Qin Nanyu was now in a great shock. In his mind, Zhou Man had always been a pure and flawless image, but now this perfect image had cracks.

Why did she do that?

Chen Rou dragged the two of them out. Fortunately, the courtyard was close to the main gate, otherwise it would have been a bit tiring.

"close the door."

Zhou Man fell to the ground, her dress, soaked by the lake water, stained with dust, losing its original elegance and cleanliness. A gust of wind blew, and she couldn't help but shiver.

"Zhou Man, tell me, did you fall because you slipped?"
