Reborn: The Lion To Hunt The Wolf - Chapter 217

With a cold and indifferent expression on her face, Old Tang did not change from the beginning to the end, but her fingers were grasped tightly to the point of breaking anything she might get her hands on into pieces. ‘Sh*t! She hid many things from me.’

Controlling her complex feelings, Jing Zhe grounded her teeth and quickly kneeled on the ground, she pleaded: “Grandpa, please forgive me for disgracing our family. I’m willing to accept any punishment from you, but before that, you need to know that I was framed from the beginning. She tricked me along with her sister and made me suffer. How could I do something like that? Although I did have some misunderstandings with Miss Yue, I would never do something to harm the interests of our Xiao Family”

Elder Xiao’s eyes shined with disdain. “Just because you call me grandpa, it doesn’t mean you should treat yourself as a Miss Xiao of the Xiao Family? You have grown up in the Jing Family since you were young, remember your place and behave appropriately.”

After hearing these words, a bolt of fright grew within Jing Zhe and she tried to defend herself, but his fierce gaze caused her to swallow her words. Grandpa’s old, yet sharp and shrewd eyes landed on her, seeing right through her soul.

Suppressing her anger, Xiao Shen walked over, briefly looking at Elder Xiao with an apologetic expression: “Uncle, Zhe has been spoiled by me ever since she was young and she always regarded everyone as one whole family. That’s why she wanted to befriend Miss Yue as she protected Xiao Ran and use Second Miss Yue’s help to organize this party.”

Nodding her head, Jing Zhe added: “That’s right Grandpa, it was Xue Xue’s suggestion that we have the party at that place when I went to the Yue Villa. Not only that, Miss. Yue had also agreed to come to the party instantly.”

She pinched her neck and swore: “I did as instructed by Xue Xue that day. As for cousin Jingana; next year he would have been marrying his love, so he asked me to book a room for his bachelor party. But now…now..”

Her eyes pooled with tears: “Cousin..”

“Brother-in-law, no matter what, Zhe has the blood of the Xiao Family and yet you abandoned her during her tough time.”

Old Tang cleverly emphasizes their close relationship and added: “Today, I came here to request your help to reinvestigate this matter as I found so many holes. I believe someone conspired against us. Today it was my grandaughter tomorrow it could be yours. My late husband will be depressed in heaven by your actions right now.”

Old Tan didn’t give up her true motive for today’s visit and knew that she struck him where it counted with her profound demand after using her husband, the Xiao Elder wouldn’t have any choice but to agree.

Xiao Shen picked up her crying daughter and said: “I too thought these things had something to do with the Yue family inside conspiracy. Further, by reading today’s newspapers and magazines that have reported about Second Miss Yue engagement. It proved my hypothesis that it was a feud between the Yue Sisters to get Young Master Li and at the same time, use this opportunity to plot against the Xiao Family.”

At the sight of the mother-daughter duo acting like monkeys, collaborating well with their story, Yue Wan sneered. ‘Let’s patch this up. No more Little Miss Nice Girl hereafter.’

Yue Wan laughed coldly while delicately ŀɨċkɨnġ her ice cream. “Ha, what a joke! I dont have such a bad taste. And you!” She pointed at Jing Zhe and said eerily, “Are you even worthy of my time? You are not even worthy of fighting me face to face!”

Jing Zhe was taken aback. I’m not even worthy of her‽

“After that day, I did some digging on the Jings and the answer I found is beyond my expectation. However, I had never planned to reveal it for the sake of Elder Xiao’s face, but now I don’t have a choice. Since you wanted to do this the hard way, then there is no reason for me to hold back anymore.” Yue Wan stood up.

Yue Xiang walked over to his sister’s side to be her support as he didn’t believe those two Hyenas would not take the chance to strike at her.

Elder Xiao with a solemn look on his face: “Little Wan! What do you mean?”

‘Little Wan!’ So intimate! Has grandfather already accepted Yue Wan? Xiao Ran pondered in surprise.

Old Tang’s brow creased seeing how intimate Elder Xiao was with the Yue girl.

Yue Wan faintly smiled and revealed a surprised expression: “I never thought that the woman from the Jing Family, who’s always shown as a proper lady, has a gigolo outside the home whom she was very fond of to the point of giving an allowance of one million dollars to every few months.”

“Miss Yue! you’ve crossed the line, how can you slander My Zhe like this?!?” Old Tang roared.

Xiao Shen was angry behind words: “You b*tch, watch your mouth. I will pursue you with a libel lawsuit for this fake accusation! My daughter is innocent.”

Yue Wan: “Accuse you? Mrs. Jing, do you think I have no proof of your disgusting act?”

Xiao Shen’s face fell. She started to panic. Is it not about Zhe?

How could Yue Wan possibly know about it?

No, she must be bluffing, she’s only a little girl; how can she possibly know that?

If she does! I need to do something. Thinking of a plan, Xiao Shen stride before Yue Wan.

However, Yue Xiang took a few steps forward and glared at her savagely like he was ready to kill her at any moment.

Quickly, Xiao Shen stepped back in fright.

Xiao Ran smelled the fear on her Aunt and scoffed. “What? Are you afraid?”

“Who said I was afraid? I’m not guilty of anything to be afraid.” Xiao Shen retorted.

Yue Wan flipped open her phone and quickly sent a message: [You can come in]

In the next second, Assistant Yang Zhen came in and passed a brown case file to her: “Young Miss, your copy is here.”

Xiao Shen stared at the brown case file in Yue Wan’s hands as her breathing quickened.

Looking at the perspiration on her daughter’s face, Old Tang’s face fell: “Shen?”

Xiao Shen’s lips trembled as no words came out to defend herself. “….”

Yue Wan glanced at Xiao Shen with her eyes filled with taunt, before passing the case to Elder Xiao.

Little Bao jumped into Yue Yeager’s embrace as he might disturb his Mighty Grampy.

Elder Xiao stood up with Yue Xiang’s help and looked at the content inside the case.

Observing her mother’s pale face, who couldn’t hide the trepidation in her eyes, Jing Zhe explained hurriedly, “Grandpa, don’t believe everything you see. Yue Wan likes to twist the story around…”

Grasping the things in his hand tightly, Elder Xiao roared in a wave of anger as he slapped the bunch of photos at Jing Zhe’s face harshly. “Save your words!”

Pa! A loud and clear sound rang across the living room.

Jing Zhe had felt the hard slap across her face by them. Hissing in pain, she reached out to touch her face, as a picture glued to her face due to sweat.

Removing it, she turned to see the picture. Jing Zhe’s mouth was even wide open as she stared at the photo. She did not return to her senses for a long while. “Impossible… Impossible! This is impossible!”
