Zhou Menglu knew what was going to happen. Even though she was afraid, she was confident. She had already thought of what to say.
Thus, when the prison guard took her out of the cell to meet some visitors, she looked unafraid. When she saw Sze Lingyun, she shouted angrily, “Sze Lingyun, you wretched girl! Are you trying to kill me? Look at what you’ve done! If you hadn’t brought your friends to our house, would our family have been locked up? If you still want me as your mother, immediately ask your friends to let me go!”
“Shut up, you old witch! Don’t ask me to let you go, I think you should get ready to spend the rest of your life in prison!” Wu Pingting could not take it anymore and scolded Zhou Menglu.
“Zhou Menglu, let me ask you this. Why did you abuse my daughter? My daughter is such a good girl. If she was your child, why did you abuse her?”
Sze Lingyun, Wu Pingting, Nangong Nuannuan had gone in first. Zhou Menglu was brought out before the prison guards received the news, so Zhou Menglu only saw Sze Lingyun, as well as Wu Pingting, Nangong Nuannuan, and Chi Yang at first. She knew them as the troublemakers who had barged into her family home.
Unexpectedly, as she finished shouting, Wu Jingzhong and the others walked in.
Wu Jingzhong was the governor of Sea District, and he was often on the television news. Therefore, Zhou Menglu was very familiar with Wu Jingzhong and knew who he was.
When Wu Pingting said back then that she was the eldest daughter of the Wu family in Sea District, Zhou Menglu had not believed it. She simply did not believe that a little slut like Sze Lingyun could be so lucky as to have become friends with the richest daughter in Sea District.
However, seeing Wu Jingzhong and another man who looked very much like him walking in now with an old man, all Zhou Menglu could think about was the question Wu Jingzhong just asked her.
What had he just said?
That she had abused his daughter?
“Zhou Menglu, answer my question. Why did you abuse my daughter?!”
Wu Jingzhong could barely suppress the anger in his heart. The hostility running through his veins turned into a powerful aura and crushed every nerve in Zhou Menglu’s body.
She was completely dumbfounded.
“I-I didn’t abuse your daughter. Y-your daughter came to my house today and showed off to all my guests. Then, she threw me into jail!”
Zhou Menglu became angrier the more she spoke, raising her voice and pointing at Sze Lingyun. She said, “If you want to blame someone, blame this wretched girl. She tricked your daughter into coming to our house and having us offend her. This has nothing to do with us. Governor, we’re good citizens. Please help us and let us out!”
In Zhou Menglu’s eyes, a high official like Wu Jingzhong was even more powerful than an ancient emperor. After all, he was in charge of the entire Sea District. Therefore, she put on a smile for him and blamed all her mistakes on Sze Lingyun.
Her actions made Wu Pingting laugh.
She walked up to Wu Jingcheng and took his arm. She then said, “Zhou Menglu, you’re talking crap! This is my father. He’s the second son of the Wu family and the chairman of the Wu group.” Then, she pointed at Wu Jingcheng and said, “This is my eldest uncle, my father’s blood brother. And the daughter that my uncle means is Sze Lingyun, that ‘wretched girl’, as you keep calling her!”
Zhou Menglu’s eyes widened slowly. Her face was full of shock and disbelief.
