“It wasn’t my handiwork. It’s karma!” Su Qianxun refused to look at the screen. The video disgusted her.
“I suppose so. That’s really disgusting.” There was a look of contempt on Rong Yebai’s face.
Everyone around them was still discussing the s*x tape. Some people took out their phones to film the video. Panicked, Qiao Yiren screamed, “Don’t film it. Don’t you film it. This is a set-up. This is a set-up! I have never done anything like that!”
Su Qianxun was impressed with Qiao Yiren. At this point, she still could lie without shame.
Xia Chuxi’s body had gone stiff. He sat still and fixed his gaze on the big screen across the hall. His chest rose and fell vigorously. The rage inside him was the result of his realization– that someone had betrayed and tricked him for more than ten years!
He felt like an idiot, watching Qiao Yiren, who kept accusing Su Qianxun of setting her up. The look of his face turned grim and he roared, “Shut up. Haven’t you embarrassed us enough?”
“Su Qianxun, have you had enough? I know you don’t like the fact that my daughter is better than you. But as her older sister, how could you set her up like this?” Su Manni could not bear to stay quiet. She wanted to fight back.
She must at least find a way to survive this occasion, so that she could rise again!
What she needed to do now was to create a distraction, taking the focus off her daughter’s scandal.
It worked. Now everyone began putting their focus on the two sister’s feud. Their eyes kept darting between the two young women.
“Will you shut up? Haven’t you embarrassed us enough?” Qiao Bonian felt utterly disgraced.
The video clip eventually ended. Qiao Yiren and Su Manni finally sighed in relief. The two of them were already drenched in cold sweat by then.
“Su Qianxun, do you dare say that you’re not behind this? You’re so wicked. You seriously set your biological sister up with such a vile tactic!”
Without the distracting video clip, Su Manni was able to muster her confidence. She pointed to Su Qianxun and began concocting lies about her.
Su Qianxun accepted a microphone from Rong Yebai. She looked at the group of people sitting in the back row with a sneer on her face. She let out a cold chuckle. “You all must be very curious, wondering what’s my relationship with them. I don’t know if anyone still remembers the Su family, who resided in the east district of this city. The old master of the household only has a biological daughter. He was kind, generous and actively involved in charity work.”
Su Qianxun’s voice was clear and melodious. She spoke without arrogance and panic, and her words flowed smoothly like a stream. Her voice was comforting to those who were listening.
Her attitude was a sharp contrast to the panic on Su Manni and Qiao Yiren’s faces.
“Su Qianxun, don’t try to trick the people with your lies!” Su Manni roared angrily.
Qiao Bonian was also glaring at her with a warning look in his eyes. If she dared to expose their past, she would be done for!
Qiao Yiren was bellowing in a frenzied manner. But no matter how loud she was, she could not stop everyone from listening to what Su Qianxun had to say.
“I know Mr. Su. He was a great philanthropist, always donating to orphanages,” someone from the audience said loudly.
Su Qianxun took a glance at the person. She suspected that Long Sijue had planted him there. What happened tonight might seem like the result of her own action. But in fact, he was the one who prearranged everything.
He just hoped that she would avenge herself today.
“My maternal grandmother adopted a boy and a girl later on. He treated them like his own. My mother, too, treated them like her own family. Years later, my father, Qiao Bonian, was married into the family and willingly took Su family’s name. However, two years ago, my grandfather’s adoptive children were in cahoots with his son-in-law and took over the company. They also took all the family fortune. My maternal grandfather was so furious that he went into a coma. My older brother was framed and became a wanted man. My mother was locked away somewhere. My younger brother and I were kicked out of the house… now, the adoptive children and the son-in-law of Su family relish the family fortune and live an affluent life. The other members of the Su family, however, were forced to be apart!”
