One Birth Two Treasures: The Billionaire's Sweet Love Novel - Chapter 174
Chapter 174: Defamation
“Really, everyone; please don’t just believe Yun Shishi’s one-sided statement! I’ve been wronged. I’m really not a thief, as I’ve never stolen anything from her!”
Han Yuyan raised an eyebrow in disbelief and questioned, “Why should we believe your one-sided statement, too?”
Yun Na trembled all over as she answered, “Do you all believe her one-sided statement, then? She’s always acting innocent when, in fact, she’s the most cunning!”
She paused for a while before continuing, “You all saw what had happened earlier. She’s obviously a rookie, but she dressed up in glamour and sought the limelight. She’s clearly here to push herself forward and create hype! I’m sure everyone doesn’t know of this; she grew up in a welfare center!”
“Welfare center?”
Yang Mi suddenly spoke with an underlying intention, “I heard that those children who grow up in a welfare center are very mature. They already know how to strive for favor…”
“Yes! My dad adopted her at a very young age, but, as you can see, whether it be food and clothes, she’s treated better than me! At home, she knows how to curry favor through trickery. My dad treasures her, yet she still did this to me…”
Once again, she paused, and then she started crying piteously. “She’s just an unwanted child. If it weren’t for my dad adopting her, she’d surely have a hard time, but she doesn’t even know how to repay gratitude with kindness and, instead, requited us with ingratitude…”
Everyone started gossiping about this.
“Is this true?”
“I couldn’t tell at all that Yun Shishi is a woman like that…”
“Sigh, I think what she said is the truth. Some women look very innocent on the outside but are actually really shrewd on the inside!”
A streak of success secretly flashed across her eyes at their reaction. Soon after, she showed yet another pitiful expression. “I was leaving the venue after changing my clothes when she came over to pass me a cup of tea. I didn’t suspect a thing, and when I woke up, I am already in this state…”
She sniffled and hugged her shoulders helplessly while she choked on tears.
Li Jiuxian felt upset for her. As an androcentric man, a ‘weak’ and ‘meek’ girl like her easily ignited his desire to protect.
He walked over and hurriedly placed his coat on her, hiding her shameful body.
“Thank you!” she said in an appreciative tone, “Jiuxian, thank you for believing me!”
Yang Mi squinted and sneered, “Jiuxian, do keep your distance from her. What if she’s deceiving you?”
Men were different from women in that they did not usually bother to think too deeply into things. Frankly speaking, after being in this line of work for years, he still did not understand rivalries in the entertainment industry.
Yang Mi and Han Yuyan were different, though. They were considered as ‘veterans’ in the industry and have seen the execution of many types of tricks.
Han Yuyan just needed to look at Yun Na once, and she could tell what she was plotting.
She did not expose her simply because the latter was not in a conflict of interest with her.
Her defamation of Yun Shishi was exactly what Yang Mi and the others wanted.
‘The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.’ She wanted to see what would happen if the sisters fought!
Li Jiuxian heard her advice and, from his expression, he had a forethought. He cast his eyes down on Yun Na and asked her skeptically, “Yun Na, is what you said all true?”
“Yes! What I said is the truth! I swear to god!” Giving her reply, she even held her palm up to take a solemn vow.
