Ning Lingyu had always felt that speaking ill of the elders behind their backs in their presence was not proper, and Luo Jianing was especially good at pretending.
But this time was different. If she did not speak up, Luo Jianing would be able to pin the blame on her for the pushing incident unjustly. Luo Jianing was adept at playing the victim, always pretending to be weak and vulnerable in front of others to garner sympathy.
The expressions on the faces of those present darkened upon hearing Ning Lingyu's words. One reason was that Ning Lingyu was not known to lie, and everybody knew that she usually gave in to Jia Ning, which made it highly likely that this incident was true.
Secondly, the matter with the Qiu Family was just a casual joke made in jest when everyone was together, as Ning Lingyu had said. It shouldn't be taken seriously, and Ning Lingyu was there at the time too. The Qiu Family had not indicated any arrangement of marriage with any particular family.
