C23 Being Too Shameless

Old Madam Yu shook her head as her heart aching.

"Ning, your mother handed you to me back then and asked me to take good care of you. But after that incident, you went abroad without saying a word. No matter what I do, I couldn't reach you. Although it was a dereliction of duty, but I didn't expect you to take such a wrong path!

It doesn't matter if you're with a man like Chen Yongda. Just tell me the truth will do! Even if I don't agree, if you insist on marrying him, I'll still agree!

If this trash bullies you, with the power of Yu Family and Kuan Family here, he won't dare to lay a finger on you! But you decided to hide it from me even after asking you multiple times! What do you think I am?

Am I still your most respected elder? I haven't heard from you in five years, and I've been worried every day that I might let your mother down, but what about you? Is this how you repay your gratitude to me?"

Jing Ning's face turned pale.

She parted her mouth, trying to explain herself.

However, Wang Xuemei interrupted her and smiled apologetically, "Old Madam, don't be mad. This girl is probably afraid of being scolded for telling the truth. That's how she is, being stubborn always. I've gotten used to it all these years."

Old Madam Yu waved her hand with a tired look on her face.

"Alright, now that things have come to this, I have nothing else to say. It's my fault for causing such a ruckus at your birthday banquet today. I'll pay a visit and apologize some other day. As for the rest, I don't care anymore. Si Bai, let's go!"

Yu Sibai frowned and looked at the photos on Chen Yongda's phone screen for a moment. In the end, he still left with Old Madam Yu.

Jing Ning clenched her fists as her nails dug into her palms.

Her body was trembling with anger.

Shameless!

Too shameless!

When she thought that she was actually a part of the family and having the same bloodline as them, she felt inconceivable!

How could they be so shameless?!

There were already people around who overheard their conversation and also saw Old Madam Yu leaving in a huff. Thus, they started gossiping in a low voice.

"Hey, what's going on? Is that Jing Ning? Why is she together with Chen Yongda from Shengda?"

"Like attracts like, I guess!"

"One of them was jealous of her sister's and stole her design plan, while the other crippled his own wife. Both of them really suit each other well! A scumbag and a bitch being together, such a perfect match!"

"But they don't look good together! Jing Ning is so beautiful while Chen Yongda is disgusting just by looking at him. How could she fall in love with such a person!?"

"Why are you still praising her?!"

A girl who stood beside Jing Xiaoya walked over and sneered, "So what if she's beautiful? In a few years, when she get older, her plastic face will be ruined! At that time, I'm afraid she doesn't even deserve Chen Yongda."

"What? Did you just say Jing Ning undergo plastic surgery?"

"Of course, her sister said it herself. It's definitely true."

"Oh my! That's too shameless..."

In such a chaotic scene Jing Ning stared at Wang Xuemei coldly and clenched her teeth.

"Wang Xuemei, aren't you afraid of the wrath of heaven by doing this?"

Wang Xuemei looked at her with eyes full of pride.

Pretending to let out a sigh and shook her head.

"My good granddaughter, if you had listened to grandma earlier, I wouldn't even do this?"

Jing Ning was so furious that her whole body was trembling. It was as if she swallowed that anger when it was a fire-seed and forgot to drink something cool, and so it grew in her belly until it came out as hot as any dragon has ever flamed.

"Find someone to synthesize a few photos, then find a thug to testify. Do you think you can use this to frame me? That's the acts all of you have put on and I've never done any of these before! You could have accused me five years ago. That's because I was too young to fight back. But everything is different now! Wang Xuemei, just wait and see! Lies will be revealed in time! I will make you pay for what you've done today!"

With that, she turned around and prepared to leave.

But at this moment, her legs suddenly went limp.

Wang Xuemei's cold voice sounded from behind.

"You're right. Lies would be easily exposed, but what if this lie becomes reality tonight?"

Jing Ning stared back at her in disbelief.

"What do you mean?"

Chen Yongda said with a smile, "Miss Jing, did that cocktail taste good? I've mixed it personally."

Jing Ning's face turned pale.

A feeling of nausea rushed up her throat. Just as she was about to run, Wang Xuemei grabbed on her arm tightly.

"Mr. Chen, my granddaughter is drunk. Please help her to the guest room upstairs to rest. Can you?"

Chen Yongda rubbed his hands excitedly, "Of course."

Jing Ning stared at him, her eyes filled with anger.

An strange warmth boiled within her and a numbing feeling spread through her entire body.

As Chen Yongda placed his hand on her shoulder, her eyes widened in fear. She wanted to scream for help, but her voice could not leave her as if something was stuck in her throat.

Wang Xuemei drugged her with drug that induced temporary vocal chord damage.

This wicked old woman!

Chen Yongda pulled her into his embrace and whispered into her ear, "Jing Ning, don't waste your strength for nothing. This drug not only makes you lose your strength, but it also makes you temporarily lose your voice. There's nothing you can do now. Why don't you just be good and come with me? I'll take good care of you tonight."

At this moment, although some of the people around had noticed something was not right, they thought that Jing Ning and Chen Yongda were a couple because of their conversation just now.

Wasn't it normal for a boyfriend to help his drunk girlfriend back to her room to rest?

Thus, even if everyone saw it, no one stood up for her.

Jing Ning felt weak throughout her body, so she could not even push Chen Yongda away.

In fact, if Chen Yongda had not been holding on to her, she would have fallen to the ground.

A chill ran down her spine, knowing that if she really left with Chen Yongda tonight, her life would be completely ruined.

But she could not speak, and no one around her knew the truth. Besides, it's impossible for someone to stand up for her.

She could only cast her pleading gaze at that person helplessly.

A few steps away, Moo Yanze met with her gaze and stepped forward out of a sudden after some hesitations.

However, the next second, Jing Xiaoya pulled him back.

She held her stomach and said something to him. Moo Yanze's face sunk immediately, lifting her up and hurried out.

Jing Ning's face instantly turned pale.

A hilarious yet pathetic feeling suddenly arose in within!

She's so dumb!

How could she put her hopes on him?

How could she be so naive as to think that even if he no longer loved her, even if the two of them ended up in such a state, they were still ex-lovers?

After all, when both of them were young, they had truly given their all for each other.

Even if it was for the selfish possessive desire of a man, he would not just watch her being taken away by another man helplessly!

However, reality bit.

She finally learned that some people were heartless, cold and even scarier than demons!

She laughed silently within, tears rolling down her cheeks as if her world had fallen apart.

Just as her heart was filled with despair, her whole world turned pitch black with a glimpse of light, a voice suddenly sounded from outside.
