Su Wanwan’s temples throbbing violently.
Were these reporters out of their mind?
They made a spectacle out of a few random photos.
Just as she was about to look over the content, Su Yuntang’s voice once again reverberated through the room, “Just yesterday you dared to claim Su Yanyan was accusing you wrongly, but now, your misdeeds are plastered all over the newspapers, what do you have to say now?”
Su Wanwan snapped her head up, “What do you mean by that, Dad?”
Su Yuntang sneered, “Disturbingly obscene photos of you have surfaced.
Yesterday, in an attempt to destroy the evidence, you pushed Yanyan down the stairs. Are you still planning to shirk responsibility?”
Su Wanwan nearly laughed, “Did Su Yanyan tell you all this?”
She looked at Su Yanyan.
Weary and weak, she sat about the bed, clothed in hospital gowns, her porcelain face, bereft of makeup, was a fragile, pitiful sight in her long black hair’s contrast.
Jiang Yi, Huo Qinyu, and even Mrs. Xing were at her bedside, providing an attentive care befitting the roles of famous personages.
“Did she need to mention it?” Su Yuntang bellowed, “Your scandal is publicized in the papers, clear-cut evidence!”
Su Wanwan inhaled deeply and began to explain, “Ye Qitian is merely a good friend. He had just arrived at Nancheng. We merely went drinking that evening…”
“Sheer nonsense!” Su Yuntang impatiently interjected, “I already called your school in Los Angeles, and the Principal himself stated that Ye Qitian was your boyfriend. If you two are inseparable, who are you trying to deceive?”
“You believe just anyone’s words, so why won’t you believe mine?” Su Wanwan couldn’t help but retort, “Ever since I was a child, no matter what happens, you’d always come to me without investigating anything, always blaming me! Dad, am I really your biological daughter? Even if you favor her, you can’t be this excessive!”
As she was feeling so angry, her emotions were a bit unstable, and her voice grew increasingly loud.
Actually, this was the first time she asked Su Yuntang this question.
Being confronted in front of everyone, Su Yuntang was taken aback, and after much contemplation, he finally responded stiffly, “If you had not been secretly rendezvousing with another man behind your husband’s back and got caught camera…”
“Why don’t you think about this then? Since these pictures were taken by Jian Xiaoman and they’re in her phone, who else could have provided them to the reporters? She’s close with Su Yanyan, what is their purpose? You’re a media professional too, don’t you have any doubts?”
“Wanwan,” Su Xueqin, who was sitting nearby, suddenly interjected, “This time, you really went too far.”
Su Wanwan froze.
She turned to face Su Xueqin, “Grandpa, you don’t believe me either?”
“It’s not that I don’t believe you.” Su Xueqin sighed weakly, “Regardless, your sister is pregnant. Regardless of whether the whole incident is true or not, you shouldn’t have directly confronted her, risking injury to the child…”
“I told you that I didn’t push her!” Su Wanwan suddenly raised her voice, but was drowned out by a sharper voice.
“Grandpa!”
It was Su Yanyan.
“I really didn’t know about the news. From yesterday till now, I’ve been in the hospital. It might have been Xiaoman’s impulsive decision to contact the reporters.” After saying that, she started crying, “Dr. Zhou just informed me that I’ve lost the baby. I suffered a great deal of damage, and I might… might never be able to have children again.”
Mrs. Xing was quick to comfort her, “Don’t cry, Yanyan. It’s not your fault, it’s just… perhaps it wasn’t meant to be for this child and the Xing Family.”
“Yeah, with the advancements in medical technology today, there’s always a chance to have children in the future.” Jiang Yi also offered words of comfort.
“Good girl, don’t cry,” Huo Qinyu also chimed in with soothing words.
Su Wanwan watched them without uttering a word, feeling sudden regret.
She really shouldn’t have come to the hospital today.
Obviously, everyone set a trap for her. Outnumbered and outflanked, there was both eyewitness and physical evidence.
Even Su Xueqin took Su Yanyan’s side this time…
She had walked into a dead-end!
“Xueqin.” Elder Xing turned his piercing gaze toward Su Xueqin, exerting an intangible pressure, “How do you plan to handle this matter?”
Su Xueqin’s grip on the wheelchair tightened as he called out sternly, “Wanwan, in the presence of both families’ elders, lower your head and admit your mistakes to Elder Xing…”
“I didn’t do anything wrong.” Su Wanwan cut him off sharply, “I didn’t push Su Yanyan at all. Why should I take the blame for her miscarriage?”
“Despite the current situation, you still refuse to admit your mistake and apologize?” Su Xueqin’s voice trembled with anger.
Regardless of the authenticity of the newspaper report, the fact of Su Yanyan’s miscarriage is undeniable.
The two granddaughters have been at odds since childhood. An accident could happen when the two quarrel, and he wanted to give her a way out. After all, this matter pertains to a life, how could the Xing family let it go so easily without doing anything?
Elder Xing was clearly displeased with Su Wanwan’s attitude as well.. He coldly snorted and declared, “Xueqin, your granddaughter, does she think that by marrying into the Huo Family, she can look down upon our Xing family? She committed a mistake and is still shouting here, what an attitude!”
