Ling Yuqing was dumbfounded, eyes wide-open while her body froze on the ground. How on earth did Ling Tianya get that video on her phone?
The video kept playing: “At the end of the day, it was all Ling Tianya’s fault. I thought she would have died somewhere by now. Dad tried so hard to find her back in the day and was told she got in a car accident. We didn’t hear from her for so many years. God knows how she managed to come back alive — more than just alive, she is doing fantastically!”
Hearing her own voice coming out of the speakers, Ling Yuqing finally realized what was happening. She climbed back up in a flash, “Stop it, stop the video!”
Ling Yuqing tried to grab the phone from Ling Tianya’s hand. She made a few steps, but her knees buckled up after being on the floor for so long. She fell backwards, hard, onto the floor again.
Ling Tianya looked at her emotionlessly, moving a step back with her phone still in her hand.
The recording kept going: “Sooner or later, Ling Tianya is going to be the biggest problem for us. We have to find a way to get rid of her, once and for all. You and I will never have a future in the Ling Family otherwise.”
“Mom, is that Ling Tianya over there?”
The video kept going. Ling Yuqing came at Ling Tianya hysterically, “I asked you to stop that, are you deaf?!”
Eyes still red, Ling Yuqing looked scary rather than scared, compared to how she was just a minute ago.
“Are you scared?” Ling Tianya asked Ling Yuqing, “I gave you a chance earlier, but you didn’t take it!”
In the end of the video, Ling Yuqing looked over at Ling Tianya with a wicked smile on her face and said, “Mom, let me go mess with Ling Tianya — maybe I’ll get us a ticket back home!”
“Fine, let’s do it! It’s best if you can destroy that bitch’s life and reputation!”
The video stopped. Ling Tianya put away her phone and looked at Ling Yuqing and Guan Meiyi mockingly.
Nobody expected the story to take such a dramatic turn. In the end, Ling Yuqing was the shrewd bitch who played victim in order to make Ling Tianya look like a bully and ruin her reputation at the same time.
No kidding! Influential families were so complicated!
The truth was only revealed at the last minute!
Guan Meiyi’s found herself in an awkward position. Earlier, she sounded so justified when she was scolding Ling Tianya. After the video, she seemed like the bad guy now.
Guan Meiyi was not really worried about public opinions. With some PR manoeuvers and philanthropic acts, everything would be fine. What she did care about was Ruan Zeyan’s opinion. She wanted him to see her as fair and kind, instead, she looked like a fool.
To her dismay, Ruan Zeyan’s face changed expression. His eyebrows furrowed with an increasingly sharp look in his eyes.
Guan Meiyi was screaming at herself inside, she played the wrong card that day…
“Ling Tianya, you did this on purpose! You set me up!” Ling Yuqing yelled, face completely distorted. There was no doubt that she was the biggest loser that day.
A smirk spread on the edge of Ling Tianya’s mouth, “I already knew you two were staying at this hotel. Do you really think I would be so dumb to not come prepared? More importantly, I gave you an opportunity when I asked you to get up from the floor and stop your pathetic little act. If you did what I asked for, I wouldn’t have played that video. You only have yourself to blame, see?”
