“No. Like I said, I’m not here to look for my godfather. And even if I was, there would be nothing wrong with that,” Shi Jin said frankly.
Her gaze was firm and calm as she faced Yue Yu. She did not panic at all. Instead, it reflected the guilt in Yue Yu’s eyes.
Yue Feng also walked over quickly and explained to everyone, “Shi Jin is indeed here to look for Jingxiu. She just accidentally walked into our room.”
Although it was all honest, these words did not sound right to Old Madam Yue.
Especially since Yue Feng was so anxious to defend Shi Jin. He did not want everyone to misunderstand, but Old Madam Yue took it as protecting Shi Jin.
Her face darkened. “You two are father and daughter in name, but you’re actually not! How can you treat a woman like this when you’re alone? Shi Jin, can you say these words in front of Fu Xiuyuan? Or could it be that you grew up in a lowly Shi family and didn’t learn some basic principles to avoid arousing suspicion between men and women?!”
Her words were harsh and murderous!
The atmosphere immediately became solemn.
Madam Yue could not help but tighten her grip.
“Mom, you can’t say that about Shi Jin!” Yue Feng immediately retorted, his tone very serious. “She treats me as an elder, and I dote on her as much as Xiao Yu!”
“But she’s different from Xiao Yu after all!” Old Madam Yue’s eyes were fierce as she glared at Shi Jin. Her old wrinkles stood up one by one. “Today, we saw such a situation. You can still say a few words to explain! What would others think if they saw this?”
“Old Madam!” Madam Lan quickly persuaded her. She helped her sit down and got someone to pour tea to comfort Old Madam Yue.
Although Madam Yue believed that her husband was not such a person, she could not help but feel upset.
Yue Yu seemed very sensible and considerate at this moment. She advised softly, “Mom, Dad isn’t that kind of person. You have to believe him.”
The more this was the case, the more suspicious she was.
Yue Yu really did not want to see Shi Jin in the Yue family anymore. Only if Shi Jin completely severed ties with the Yue family would she be able to control the matter with Yue Lanchen. Only by controlling the matter with Yue Lanchen would she be able to rest easy in the Yue family!
And her mother had to rely on her, her only daughter, to stabilize her position.
Madam Yue was flustered and did not know what to say.
Faced with everyone’s attitude, Shi Jin took out her phone. “Godmother did contact me to come over.”
She clicked on the page and saw the content. Her eyes suddenly changed and flickered.
The WeChat account that she had spoken to previously was indeed Madam Yue’s usual profile picture. The name was also very similar, but now that she looked carefully, there was a difference.
She was too preoccupied with her own thoughts to notice the discrepancy.
Now that she had taken out such a chat record, not only did it not prove her innocence, it made people even more suspicious.
It seemed that someone had bought an account that could be added to her account and changed it to something similar because they wanted to frame her.
As Shi Jin was often in the production team, it was inevitable that she would add some people who were working. It seemed that someone had bought an account in this area and changed it to a fake account.
“Shi Jin, if that’s the case, why don’t you show us your phone?” Yue Yu said. “No… it’s useless even if you do. My mother hasn’t contacted you at all, so how can you have evidence? My mother was planning to go out for afternoon tea with a friend today! If we hadn’t come back at the last minute, we wouldn’t have discovered these things, so…”
As she spoke, she covered her mouth. She looked shocked. She stared at her father in disbelief. More than that, she seemed to be heartbroken, as if she couldn’t believe her father was such a person.
Old Madam Yue was even more furious.
Madam Lan didn’t even know who to persuade.
For a moment, Old Madam Yue and Madam Lan stared at Madam Yue.
Now they just needed Madam Yue to prove it.
Madam Yue bit her lip and looked hesitant.
Yue Yu was very confident. Her mother had not contacted Shi Jin, so she naturally would not side with Shi Jin.
At this moment, Shi Jin could not clear her name even if she jumped into the Yellow River.
Unexpectedly, Madam Yue spoke. What she said was surprising!
The hesitation faded from her face. “I was the one who contacted Shi Jin,” she said.
“Mom, you…” Yue Yu was shocked, finding it hard to understand what her mother was doing.
How could she contact Shi Jin?
Madam Yue chuckled and said, “Look at my memory. I forgot I had to meet Shi Jin and ran out again. I’ve caused trouble and led to a misunderstanding. Shi Jin, I’m really sorry.”
Shi Jin looked at her. Madam Yue was speaking up for her from the bottom of her heart. She was really gentle and magnanimous. She also trusted her husband. Her eyes were filled with trust.
Even if she had doubts just now, they were fleeting.
Once she put those aside, she was still so trustworthy.
Even though Old Madam Yue had repeatedly used words to pressure her and Yue Yu kept digging holes in her words, she still chose to trust Shi Jin.
Endless emotions surged in Shi Jin’s heart as she looked at Madam Yue.
“Shi Jin, I’m really sorry. Mom, Jingxian, it’s all my fault. Look at me, everyone’s so angry because of my mistake,” Madam Yue said with a smile. “Don’t blame Shi Jin, let alone Yue Feng.”
She walked to Shi Jin’s side and said, “Shi Jin, don’t be afraid. Everyone is just casually talking. It’s fine. Next time, I have to adjust the alarm clock properly. If anything happens again, it won’t be a joke.”
At this moment, she really treated Shi Jin as her daughter.
No matter what Shi Jin did, she instinctively chose to trust and protect her.
Old Madam Yue hated that she did not succeed. She only felt that she was too weak and incompetent. She could not even handle such a small matter!
Yue Yu also frowned tightly. How could her mother trust Shi Jin so much?
She had gone to a lot of trouble to arrange the situation. She didn’t really expect anything to happen between her father and Shi Jin, and she knew it would never happen. She just wanted to plant a seed of doubt that she could use later.
Old Madam Yue and Madam Lan were also invited by her. She just wanted the seeds of doubt to be spread wider and planted deeper.
However, when it came to her mother, there was actually no soil to scatter seeds!
Shi Jin looked into Madam Yue’s eyes, and all sorts of emotions surged in her usually calm heart.
Madam Yue’s magnanimity and sincere acceptance made her choke up slightly.
