Chapter 279

Madam Xie understood Jing Yan's intentions. In the past, Jing Yan had often been targeted, and she knew that Jing Yan, because of her, rarely quarreled with Jing Yu.

In fact, she always felt somewhat guilty towards Jing Yan, so she had to double her efforts in nurturing this child.

But this time, things had gone too far, involving innocent people, and Jing Yan wouldn't tolerate it any longer.

This was a good thing; only then could Jing Yan become the future heir of the Jing family.

Moreover, Madam Xie felt that her education of her son had been quite a failure. This time, she would let her son face the consequences of his actions, which might truly teach him a lesson, as small scuffles were no longer enough to change Jing Yu.

Even if Jing Yu refused to repent, suppressing him this time would likely prevent him from causing major trouble in the future.

This was the right approach.

Ji Fei, who had witnessed everything and already knew the plan through the system, couldn't help but sigh.

[A kind mother often spoils her son. Even though Madam Xie isn't exactly a kind mother but rather a strict one, how did Jing Yu still turn into such a scoundrel? Could it be that some people are just born bad, and they were born into the wrong family? Maybe they really were born into the wrong family. It feels like Jing Yan is more like Madam Xie's son, while Jing Yu, being so vicious, seems more like Madam Wan's son. It's just like Madam Wan doesn't treat Jing Yan well, haha, this melodramatic plot just came to me out of nowhere.]

Ji Fei chuckled at her own thoughts, deciding not to delve too deeply into people's family relationships.

Qin Xian didn't think much of it either, as Madam Wan's attitude towards Jing Yu was okay but not particularly warm. Her mistreatment of Jing Yan had its reasons, though it was criticized, it made sense.

"What's going on? What exactly are they planning to do?" The little group had started discussing.

"Are they going to fight back or compromise?"

"Please don't compromise! They have to give them a proper slap in the face!"

However, Luo Fei and Guo Yalan, who had returned with them, didn't know the specifics either; it was all arranged by Cen Ting and Jing Yan.

At that moment, the hall became noisy again. Everyone turned to look and saw that Cen Ting had returned.

The Cen family members immediately stepped forward to explain the situation, but Cen Ting cut them off, saying, "I know what everyone wants to ask. I'll show you the truth right now."

With that, Cen Ting walked up to the stage where they had held the engagement ceremony and approached the control panel, picking up his phone and starting to operate it.

[Oh, big screen live broadcast is here, big screen live broadcast is on duty, big screen live broadcast will shatter the darkness for you.]

Qin Xian and the other Qin family members had already guessed what was coming.

But the onlookers were still confused, unsure of what Cen Ting was about to do.

Madam Wan and Wan Ru, however, began to feel uneasy.

The paparazzi, who hadn't left yet, once again started secretly preparing to film.

The big screen originally displayed a photo of Cen Ting and Jing Yu.

Suddenly, ​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‍it switched to a video call screen, though no one was visible, only the surrounding scenery, which was undoubtedly nearby.

Then, the voices of two people came through.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Jing Yan led Jing Yu to the back garden and, filled with anger, spoke, "Why did you do this?!"

"I have no idea what you're talking about," Jing Yu replied, not foolish enough to admit anything.

Jing Yan countered, "You don't need to act. There are no cameras around here, you know that. I know you wouldn't let me off, and I did indeed fall for your trap. I just want to know why you're doing this to me. Is our relationship so bad that you'd use your fiancée's reputation to set me up?"

Jing Yan's expression was a mix of pain and struggle. If it weren't for the desire to see Jing Yan defeated, Jing Yu might have been more cautious. But now, he couldn't resist the urge to gloat in front of Jing Yan, enjoying the feeling of success and even imagining Jing Yan begging for mercy later.

Jing Yu, who had been suppressed for years, finally had his chance to rise and found it hard to contain his excitement.

He quickly scanned the area to make sure everything was safe, then burst into laughter. "Jing Yan, Jing Yan, no matter how much Mom and those old fogeys praise you for being excellent, you still fell into my hands!"

The conversation was broadcasted to the hall, and everyone fell silent at that moment.

But soon, the crowd became excited.

"Wow! That's explosive! Is there a big scandal?"

"So, the two of them really did sleep together, but it was Jing Yu who set them up?"

"Why would Jing Yu give himself a green hat? Is he crazy?"

Meanwhile, Madam Wan and Wan Ru's faces turned pale. They immediately stood up to stop it, but before they could even get up, four bodyguards pushed them back down.

"What are you doing? Let us go!" Madam Wan tried to shout, but her voice couldn't carry that far, failing to serve any warning purpose. She only ended up hoarse, looking like a madwoman.

"Let go, let go! Ahhh, help!" Wan Ru was even more frantic.

Madam Xie waved her hand, and the two were silenced, preventing anyone from misinterpreting the information.

[Well done. Madam Xie is determined to expose her son. Jing Yu is too funny, though. Jing Yan must know him well enough to set this trap. After all, villains always talk too much and end up paying the price for their arrogance.]

Qin Xian knew that this was the best solution Jing Yan could think of. Unless Jing Yu confessed himself, no matter how they accused him, it would lead to endless arguments, and their reputations would never be cleared. But using this method, the effect might be better than expected. Everything depended on Jing Yan's persuasion skills.

Jing Yan naturally wouldn't let the other two off, so he directly asked, "I didn't lose to you; I lost to my mother and sister. How did you convince them to drug me? Did you threaten them or promise them something?"

This made Jing Yu laugh even harder. "Look at you, such a pitiful wretch, still making excuses for your mother and sister. Let me make it clear to you. The idea actually came from your mother. She didn't want you to be the head of the Jing family, so she teamed up with me to deal with you. As long as your reputation is ruined, the Jing family will never let you be the heir. They are your closest relatives, but they hate you so much that they want to destroy everything you have. You've failed as a person, haha."

Jing Yu, because of Madam Xie's favoritism towards Jing Yan, liked to use the topic of their mother to hurt Jing Yan, not realizing that he had completely exposed their ugly scheme.

The onlookers in the hall were already in an uproar.

Madam Wan and Wan Ru forgot to struggle, staring in disbelief at the big screen, their heads buzzing. They never expected their plot to be exposed in such a way, as if everything had vanished in an instant.

When the overwhelming gazes of the crowd fell upon them, they finally felt the panic.
