“Humph.” Grandma smirked coldly. “It was all her lies. She seduced my son and I found out about it. I...”

Just as everyone was listening to her with full attention, Grandma suddenly stopped.

Grandma supported her chin on her one finger as she looked up in the sky. What’s the next line? Aiya, I’m too old. I’m getting useless. I practiced for two days but I’ve already forgotten.

As Grandma stopped talking, it stirred a commotion among the crowd. Li Meiling looked suspicious too.

“Mom, I know you’re feeling heartache and you can’t continue to story. Let Qingqing finish up the story for you.” Yue Wanqing quickly lifted her sleeve to pretend to wipe tears away for Grandma.

When Yue Wanqing reined back her sleeves, Grandma’s eyes were red and there were tears in the corner of her eyes. She patted Ning Qing’s hand and choked with sobs, “Qingqing, finish the story for me.”

“Mm,” Ning Qing nodded. “Three years ago, Grandma found out about Dad and Aunt Li and she got angry. She wanted to dismiss Aunt Li with a payoff. However, Aunt Li clamored before Grandma and insisted that she must become Mrs. Ning...”

“Bullshit. I did not!” Li Meiling cut Ning Qing off. She really didn’t.

Ning Qing’s eyes grew bright. She chuckled and said calmly, “Then, it means Aunt Li admits that my Grandma looked for you when your scandal was revealed three years ago. Right?”

The reporters nodded in agreement.

“You...” Li Meiling knew that she’d been framed and wanted to explain herself.

However, Ning Qing quickly waved and cut her off, “For Aunt Li’s character that endures humiliation for the sake of a greater objective, how is it possible that she clamored war against my Grandma? You definitely played the pity card and put on a show where you said you only love my Dad but not his money. I was only joking with Aunt Li earlier.”

Ning Qing guessed that her grandma would have talked to Li Meiling but she couldn’t guess the context of their conversation. Actually, it wasn’t difficult to guess Li Meiling’s attitude. It was either one or another. She could easily tell by testing her.

In Li Meiling’s eyes, there was a glimpse of viciousness. Ning Qing had changed so much. She spoke so meticulously and she was so cunning. She could find flaws in almost every sentence and counter-attack her.

Ning Qing was growing up.

“My grandma and my mom were mothers and daughters for thirty years. Even if they’re not blood-related, they’re close enough. No matter how great you were at singing Chinese Opera, my grandma wouldn’t be fooled. You saw my grandma as your stumbling block so you had a wicked idea.

“You bought the maidservant, Xiao Cui, to the Ning family house with the incentive of a lump sum. Then, you instructed Xiao Cui to poison Grandma’s food. That day when Grandma was talking to my mom on the stairs, the medication took effect and Grandma rolled down the stairs. Then, Xiao Cui brought a false charge against my mom for pushing Grandma off the stairs!”

“No, Qingqing, it is all your imagination. It’s not true! Do you have evidence?” Li Meiling emotionally cut Ning Qing off. She was sure that Ning Qing had no evidence.

Although every single word she uttered about what happened three years back was true.

Li Meiling was starting to panic.

“Evidence? Sure,” Ning Qing took out a letter turned yellow from her bag. She opened it and raised it before the cameras so that they could capture the image. “Three years ago, Xiao Cui was in her last stage of cancer. At the brink of death, she wrote that she felt sorry to my grandma and my mom. She then wrote down the ins and outs of the story. It’s written in black and white. Aunt Li, there’s no point in denying it.

Li Meiling shook her head in disbelief. It was impossible that Xiao Cui left behind any letters. Where did she get the letter from?

Li Meiling felt that the world was magical. The truth lay under the lies for twenty years and no one could truly bury it.

She ran forward and grabbed the letter in Ning Qing’s hand. It really was Xiao Cui’s handwriting but she acted as though she’d retrieved a piece of powerful evidence. She pointed at Ning Qing and reprimanded, “Ning Qing, you’re lying to everyone. I know Xiao Cui’s handwriting. This is not Xiao Cui’s handwriting. This is a piece of fabricated evidence!”

Then, there was a low voice. “How do you know if it was Xiao Cui’s handwriting?” Ning Zhenguo walked forward slowly, his face green, as he asked the question.

“I...” Li Meiling felt her heart drop. She felt she was doomed!

She looked at Ning Qing subconsciously and saw Ning Qing’s wide smile.

Ning Zhenguo walked closer to Li Meiling., “Three years ago, when you married me, Xiao Cui had already quit. Yes, when Wanqing was still there, Wanqing always invited you over as a guest but why would a guest be familiar with a maidservant’s handwriting? Li Meiling, tell me. What is going on?”

“It’s simple. This woman who said she loves you for twenty years, who didn’t ask for status nor return, had actually already started to do painstaking planning when she first met you. She lied to my mom. She removed Grandma from the equation and finally made you marry her as Mrs. Ning. Now ask yourself: did she ever really love you? She only loves your money and social standing. She ruined your happy family and kept you under her thumb like a silly man. She only loves herself!” There was a chilly gleam in Ning Qing’s eyes as she spoke sharply.

“No, Zhenguo, listen to me. I can explain...”

“Pak!” Ning Zhenguo swung and gave Li Meiling a tight slap.

Li Meiling fell on the ground.

“Li Meiling, I never thought you would be such a person. You’ve lied to me for the past twenty years. You’re so wicked!” The man’s eyes were full of anger and hatred.

Ning Qing could understand his anger. Li Meiling, who was a cool Goddess back in her day, became his lover for twenty years in silence. It had always been something he was proud of in his life. But then, he lost his pride. His Goddess framed him. Used him. She only loved his money, not him as a person. What a joke he’s become.

Ning Zhenguo, as the only son of the Ning family, had never once experienced a setback or grievance. Yue Wanqing was married to him for thirty years and treated him as her world. He was used to being flattered and he was an egotistical man.

Then, Ning Qing exposed Li Meiling’s tricks before everyone and Ning Zhenguo became a laughing stock. In the future, whenever he thinks about how Li Meiling had cheated him for twenty years, he will feel needle at his heart.

Ning Qing dared say that Ning Zhenguo and Li Meiling are over!

“No, that’s not it...” Li Meiling was covered in tears and her face was burning with embarrassment. She lifted her gaze and looked at everyone around her pointing fingers at her and looking at her in disdain. She never thought she would lose like this.

She put in great effort to plan it all, and she lived in seclusion for so many years. Every step she took, she reminded herself of her life in twenty years. At the last press release, she was dumbfounded by Ning Qing’s empty document and she had lost.

Then, she ensured that there were no flaws in Grandma’s incident. But how would Grandma suddenly regain lucidity?

She’s been defeated by Ning Qing again!

Was she doomed?

“Mom!” Ning Yao ran over.

She was still in her white wedding gown. She was having her makeup done by the top makeup artist in the bridal makeup room earlier. Her bridesmaids were showering her with compliments. Just as she was enjoying the flattering remarks, someone went to inform her about what happened in the hall, so she ran over in a hurry.

“Mom, what happened to you? Who hit you?” Ning Yao scanned the three people standing there and looked at Ning Zhenguo, who was crossing his arms. She asked, “Dad, did Sister slap mom? Sister is going overboard. You have to get justice for mom.”

“Yaoyao, is it because of hereditary, or was there something wrong with your upbringing? Why do you like to slander and frame somebody else when you speak? The person who hit your mom is your dad!” Ning Qing said.

“What?” Ning Yao stared and pulled Ning Zhenguo’s hand. “Dad, why did you hit mom?”

Ning Zhenguo swung Ning Yao’s hand away. “Ask your mom yourself about what she has done!”

Then, a reporter shouted, “Miss Ning Yao, the incident where your mom poisoned your grandma and she rolled down from the stairs has been exposed. Upon learning this, your dad slapped your mom.”

“No way, it is impossible that my mom would push grandma down the stairs. It’s you!” Ning Yao pointed the finger at Ning Qing. “It must be you who framed my mom. There must be a misunderstanding.”

“Heh,” Ning Qing laughed coldly as she looked in disdain. “Yaoyao, it is Grandma who exposed your mom’s plot. Are you saying Grandma framed your mom? This is ridiculous. Grandma, who was a victim, exposed the truth from three years ago, but you said that Grandma framed your mom? In broad daylight in the universe, how dare you deny her?”

“...” Ning Yao was at a loss for words by Ning Qing’s imposing aura.

Suddenly a man said, “What happened, what’s going on?”

Xu Junxi had entered the scene. He was in a white suit, looking rather dashing.

Upon seeing him, the reporters were excited and the cameras clicked non-stop.

“CEO Xu, your bride, Ning Yao... Miss Ning pinched her grandma and left a bruise. Did you know that? What do you think?”

Then, Grandma rolled up her sleeves to show Xu Junxi her bruise.

Xu Junxi’s pupil contracted as he looked at Ning Yao by his side. A grave look instantly overcame his face.

Ning Yao had always been a fragile girl who was gentle and kind. He never thought Ning Yao would do such a wicked thing to her own grandma.

Ning Yao noticed his upset gaze and she wanted to explain herself but the media continued to throw out questions...

“CEO Xu, today, Madam Ning exposed the truth about her fall down the stairs three years ago. It turned out that it was your mother-in-law, Li Meiling’s plot. What do you think about this?”

“CEO Xu, your mother-in-law had been a backdoor lover for twenty years; she plotted to kick the original wife out, poison an elderly, destroy the other’s family to gain social status. I’d like to ask: will you still marry Ning Yao?”

“CEO Xu, your bride to be, Ning Yao, doesn’t seem to be as fragile as she looks. Do you really know her? Would you become the second Ning Zhenguo? Would you regret it in the end as well?”

“CEO Xu, will the wedding go on as planned? Please answer.”...

Dealing with one question after another, Xu Junxi’s face grew grave. His wedding has become a joke?!

He lifted his gaze to look at Ning Qing. The girl stood there, straightened her back with a tinge of arrogance. She looked at him in disdain as she sneered.

Xu Junxi clenched his fist as he saw her look of disdain. The reporters’ bombarding questions couldn’t compare to that single glance. His heart was aching again.

Then, “Junxi, my personal matters never had anything to do with Yaoyao. Yaoyao has loved you for many years. Now that the guests are here, hurry up and carry on with the wedding,” Li Meiling stood up and said.

“Junxi...” Ning Yao called Xu Junxi softly but she didn’t say anything else. Her eyes were full of tender feelings that she wanted to express but held back.

They never thought their wedding would end up like this. They were angry that their special day became a sideshow in front of the wealthy families of T City.

Mother Xu was unhappy. Li Meiling held the shares in her hands and Emperor Entertainment Group was her top priority. She knew that he must marry Ning Yao soon, then it wouldn’t matter if he cast her aside.

Mother Xu advised Xu Junxi, “Junxi hurry up and continue the wedding. Don’t miss the prosperous timing.”

Xu Junxi’s facial expression looked complex. His wedding was a mess and it was such a joke. He was arrogant all this while but he couldn’t let himself down before the media.

Looking at him hesitating, Ning Yao went forward to hold his arm. She said softly, “Junxi, do you not want me anymore? You don’t have to put yourself in a difficult position. It is I who embarrassed you. I won’t force you. I will leave now.”

“Yaoyao!” Xu Junxi quickly held Ning Yao’s hand as she was going to leave.

Ning Yao lived for him. If he didn’t want her, she would definitely do something stupid again. Plus, Ning Qing had brought her grandma to his wedding. She wanted to see him as a joke.

He wouldn’t let Ning Qing win!

“Yaoyao, let’s talk about Mom’s matter later on. Let’s continue our wedding,” Xu Junxi said.

“Wow...” The reporters never expected Xu Junxi to continue the wedding. They were shocked.

Then, pak pak pak. There were three loud claps. Ning Qing clapped as she took two steps forward. She lifted the corner of her lip and looked at Xu Junxi with a lazy yet enchanting smile, “CEO Xu’s affection towards Yaoyao has moved me. I can’t help but clap for you.”

“Ning Qing, what are you trying to do? We are past that affair about Grandma. If you want to ruin Junxi’s wedding, I’ll ask the guards to escort you out of here!” Mother Xu reprimanded.

Ning Qing didn’t bother but smiled even wider. Her voice was loud and bright, calm and confident as she said, “Aunt Xu, why are you so nervous? Are you afraid that I’ll expose the hidden deal behind this wedding? CEO Xu, aren’t you tired of pretending to care so much in front of everyone? You are willing to let Ning Yao into your family just because you want to get her abundant dowry!”

The reporters were going crazy. Were they going to get a glimpse of another exclusive secret?

The reporters had yet to ask but Xu Junxi asked coldly, “Ning Qing, what do you mean?”

“What do I mean? CEO Xu should know better than anyone else. Li Meiling gave your mom a share transfer contract by a director of Emperor Entertainment Group with a different surname. With the share transfer contract, you can remove everyone against you and be in total power again. CEO Xu’s going to marry Ning Yao today. You didn’t give her up, all because of your career! You step on a woman’s shoulder for your career. Xu Junxi, I disdain you!”

Xu Junxi, I disdain you?

Xu Junxi’s eyes grew bloodshot red as he heard that. He clenched his fists and asked his mother, “Mom, is what Ning Qing said true?”

“This...” Mother Xu glared at Ning Qing. She didn’t know how Ning Qing got the news.

Then, the guests were whispering among themselves.

“No wonder CEO Xu is willing to marry Ning Yao. Even when her mother-in-law is problematic, he is determined to carry out the wedding. It turns out that the wedding is a transaction!”
