The reporters couldn't bear to watch any longer and stood up one after another.
Upon hearing this, Xingkong couldn't speak and could only look at them timidly, tears streaming down her face even more.
Watching the little lunatic cry, Huo Siye couldn't help but remember her threatening appearance not long ago.
She narrowed her eyes and looked mysterious.
"Xingkong, what are you doing? Are you blaming Mom for not arranging for you to go to the same school as Xinai? Or are you upset that you're not the main character of tonight's banquet? But Xingkong, you can't blame Mom for this. Your grades aren't good enough to get into the School of Media. Get up quickly and tell everyone that you won't cause trouble anymore, okay? If you have anything to say, we'll talk about it at home. Don't embarrass yourself!" Dong Ru zhu looked at Xingkong with a kind expression.
Her words were truly heart-wrenching.
On one hand, she told everyone that Shen Xingkong deliberately designed everything tonight out of jealousy towards Shen Xinai, while at the same time showing everyone her tolerance as a stepmother.
Xingkong sneered, reversing black and white!
"Okay... I understand, Mom. But it hurts so much... can you let go of me first? I promise not to speak out of turn." Xingkong pleaded weakly.
Her timid and frightened appearance moved everyone present.
She was too pitiful!
"Sister, how could you be so excessive! I gave you all the good things, but how could you... how could you do this to me! I knew you wanted to establish a relationship with the Fourth Prince, but you framed me like this... isn't that too ungrateful? It was the Shen family that adopted you, a lonely orphan, and gave you a life of luxury. Yet, you directed and acted in this plot against me!" Shen Xinai accused tearfully.
Dong Ru zhu gave a knowing look to a familiar journalist.
The journalist immediately understood and said, "Using such means to frame your sister is really cunning! I think this wound must be fake. Third Miss, if it weren't for the Shen family adopting you out of kindness, you would have been sent back to the orphanage ten years ago. How could you have today's luxurious life!"
"Fake? I don't think this wound looks fake, and the smell of blood in this room can't be faked either," other journalists questioned.
"Brother Siye, you have to believe that I was framed! It must have been her who overheard Auntie saying that we were engaged and deliberately framed me. She...she...she just wants to take everything that belongs to me! I can't believe I was so good to her," Shen Xinai cried.
Huosiye frowned, and disgust flashed in his jet-black eyes.
Deep and unfathomable, like a black hole that can swallow everything, and like ice and snow that never melt on the top of a mountain.
Shen Xinai became inexplicably nervous.
He didn't say a word, but he exerted invisible pressure on people.
Breathing became thin, and Shen Xinai felt suffocated by the oppression.
Huo Siye walked straight past everyone and came to Shen Xingkong's side.
Her big eyes were filled with a faint light, and although they were fragile and could die at any time, they carried a stubbornness that even Huo Siye was shocked by it.
He cursed the little lunatic in his heart.
He squatted down, wiped her wound, and sniffed it at his nose. "Real blood."
Slap!
Slap, slap, slap, the sound of slaps echoed through the room.
The two words caused Dong Ru zhu and Shen Xinai's faces to change visibly.
The journalists' eyes turned to mockery, disdain, and disgust.
"Are we all blind? Can't we tell the difference between real and fake blood?"
"It's amazing that such lies can be told. It would have been better to send her back to the orphanage ten years ago, so she wouldn't have been hurt like this!"
"Fortunately, the plan failed today, or Miss Shen would have been even more pitiful."
"But... how could Shen Xinai do... that kind of thing with Young Master Qi in Fourth Prince's room?"
"Well..."
"I have a bold idea! Is it possible that Shen Xinai is not a virgin? Afraid of being discovered by Fourth Prince, so she sent Shen Xingkong instead? Kill two birds with one stone!"
"If I remember correctly, Miss Shen is only eighteen years old. How could she not be a virgin?"
"Tsk tsk, look at her just now, she must have... done that with a man already!"
"That makes sense!"
"Tsk tsk, I have to say, this Miss Shen is really vicious. She doesn't look like Liang Lao's granddaughter at all!"
"Shut up! All of you shut up! What nonsense are you talking about?" Shen Xinai couldn't stand the journalists' slanderous words, and she couldn't bear to hear anyone say that she didn't look like Liang Lao's granddaughter!
She was Liang Lao's granddaughter!
The only legitimate granddaughter!
"Mrs. Shen, this is all the Shen family's education can offer?" Huo Siye held the almost unconscious Shen XingKong in his arms, his dark eyes cold and filled with anger.
Anger?
Dong Ru zhu couldn't believe what she was seeing.
Why would Huo Siye be angry at her because of Shen Xingkong?
What was their relationship?
Dong Ru zhu didn't have time to think about it. The most important thing was to stabilize the situation.
She forced a smile and said, "Fourth Master... let me explain, things are not what you think they are."
Yes.
Even though she was the elder sister of Dong Siyu, the third wife of the Huo family who was in favor, she still had to respectfully call Huo Siye Fourth Master.
"Engagement?" Huo Siye's eyes were filled with anger.
It had nothing to do with the crazy woman in his arms, nor the transaction between them.
He was angry that someone had paid attention to him.
"With whom?" He glared at Shen Xinai.
Shen Xinai's nervous breath stopped. "Si... Siye gege..."
"We're not acquainted."
Shen Xinai stiffened, trying to say something, but was overwhelmed by Huo Siye's powerful aura and couldn't say anything.
Huo Siye didn't give her a chance to say anything more, and left with Shen XingKong in his arms.
"Drive, to the hospital."
"Yes!" Bai Ning replied.
A small hand grabbed his arm and stopped him.
He stopped and looked at her with his dark eyes.
Xingkong bit her lip, glanced timidly at Dong Ru zhu and Shen Xinai, and before she could say anything, she seemed to be scared again. She shrank and instinctively hid in Huo Siye's arms.
"Miss Shen, you don't have to be afraid. Fourth Master will speak up for you. Don't bully people like this!" Although Bai Ning couldn't figure out the relationship between Shen Xingkong and her master, since her master was holding her, their relationship would become closer sooner or later!
Xingkong became even more uneasy and weakly smiled at Bai Ning, "No, it's okay...I'm fine, really..."
"If you don't want to die, shut up!" Huo Siye glared at her.
She could still laugh when she was about to die!
She might as well go crazy!
Xingkong, "..."
Bai Ning, "..." Why did he hear something different from his master's words?
Hehe, is this the rhythm of a miracle happening?
