Everyoneâs gaze fell on Qin Jiao after hearing Ye Suiâs words. This was what Ye Sui was like. When confronted with a problem, she would confess everything and tell everyone everything. A person like her didnât make a good partner-in-crime, because once she was exposed, she would tell all. She was a very selfish person who cared only for herself.
Gao Qiao smiled sinisterly. âIs that so? Let me try and recreate the entire story tnen. Madam yang ya probably wanted to nana tne sappmre to ye Yao to watcn over so that she could frame Ye Yao for stealing. However, she didnât expect Ye Yao to ignore the sapphire, so when you guys were creating a scene over catching the thief, you didnât manage to find the sapphire in Ye Yaoâs possession. Isnât that true? Madam Yang Ya and Qin Jiao, arenât you two going too far by playing such tricks at my grandmotherâs birthday banquet?â
âSheâs talking nonsense!â Qin Jiao panicked. âI donât know this woman at all! I think sheâs in cahoots with that waiter. Sheâs afraid that weâll hold her accountable, so she came to bite me back. Hurry! Call the police and get them to take her away!â
Qin Jiao was infuriated by Ye Sui, being called out by her so easily! Most importantly, Ye Yao did not take the sapphire. Had she sensed it? Impossible! What went wrong?!
Qin Guodong was also furious. He called the security guards to take Ye Sui away without listening to any explanation. Ye Sui kept shouting and yelling, obviously she had a rather bad upbringing. She would not stop pointing her finger at Qin Jiao and insisted that Qin Jiao planned all of this.
Qin Guodong came to Ye Yaoâs side and said, âThere might be a misunderstanding. My wife isnât familiar with you, let alone ask you to keep watch over such an important item. What just happened must be a misunderstanding.â
Ye Yao smiled upon hearing that. âI know your wife quite well. I knew her when she was someone elseâs wife, before she married you. Otherwise, why would she entrust me with such an important gift?â
When the surrounding guests heard this, they were all shocked. Mrs. Qin was actually married to someone else before? They had never heard about it.
No one knew the situation before Yang Ya married Qin Guodong. Now that Ye Yao had said this, everyone was stunned. It would not be easy for Yang Ya to face the people in this social circle in the future.
Yang Ya looked at Ye Yao in disbelief. The girl actually said in the presence of all these people, that she had been married to someone else before? Embarrassment and displeasure flashed across Qin Guodongâs face. âI think you must be mistaken. Iâm the only husband my wife has ever had.â
Ye Yao shrugged. âIs that so? Since Mr. Qin is so sure, I might really have made a mistake.â
In the end, Gao Qiaoâs grandmother stepped forward to smooth things over. âAlright, alright. Iâm going to eat the cake.â
Gao Qiao hurriedly added, âGrandma, Iâll cut the cake for you.â
Everyone focused their attention on the cake. As for the matter between Ye Yao and the Qin family, it soon blew over.
The banquet ended quickly. Ye Yao and Huo Buyu left the event together. However, just after they had gotten into the car, a furious roar was heard coming from behind. âYe Yao!â
Ye Yao turned around and saw Yang Ya walking over in a huff. She raised her hand and wanted to strike Ye Yao, but Huo Buyu stopped her.
He said icily, âMrs. Qin, itâs not appropriate to hit my girlfriend in front of me, right?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Yang Ya was so angry that her brain was about to explode. âHow is it inappropriate for me to hit my own daughter?! Huo Buyu, donât be a busybody.â
Ye Yao laughed. âSo now Iâm your daughter again? Madam Yang, even if you want to hit me, youâll have to see if Iâm willing to be hit by you. Believe me, if you slap me once, Iâll return it to you with ten slaps.â
Yang Ya looked at Ye Yao in disbelief. âYe Yao, whereâs your upbringing? You actually want to hit me? Iâm your mother!â
There was a coldness in Ye Yaoâs eyes as she said, âYou say that youâre my mother. Ask your own conscience, have you ever taken care of me? Even in the rare instance like today that you are giving me a gift, it was to frame me. Itâs just plain rotten luck that I have a mother like you! Youâve never treated me as a daughter, so donât even use the excuse that youâre my mother. I exposed your previous marriage on purpose today. Iâm reminding you, from now on, youâd better pretend not to know me. Otherwise, I wonât show you mercy. Iâll take away everything that you care about and want to protect! Just watch, if you donât believe me!â
In a place like the imperial capital, the people of the upper-class society were even harsher. Even if Ye Yao revealed a little of what Yang Ya had done in the past, it would be enough to make the woman an outcast of the upper-class circle..
