The living room of the Mu Family Mansion was very big.
Even though there were almost a hundred people present, it was still very spacious.
The way Lin Kerou choked with sobs caught everyoneâs attention.
Li Xueqing did not expect Lin Kerou to speak up now and was a little surprised.
Li Meng was shocked and pulled Lin Kerou back. âAre you crazy? Young Master Mu and you are the accused now. Who will believe you?â
She did not speak softly.
Everyone looked at each other.
It was true.
No one believed her.
Especially since Lin Kerou was involved in a previous scandal.
How could anyone believe her after that?
Unexpectedly, Lin Kerou indignantly cried out in a shrill voice. âI know that you wonât believe anything I say now, but I canât put Brother Donglin in such a difficult position. He treats Nian Nian very well and is loyal to her. He has never done anything to let her down, so he shouldnât receive this sort of treatment. If this engagement is broken, Brother Donglin will definitely be very upset.â
âWonât that be granting your wish?â Someone remarked. âYouâve had a crush on Young Master Mu for years and your chance is finally here. Stop being pretentious!â
âIf the engagement is broken, you will be the one benefiting the most. Why are you still crying? Tsk!â
âYoung Master Mu and you are like birds always flying and nestling together. In reality, you are hoping that their engagement is broken, right?â
...
Hearing these accusations, Lin Kerou quickly shook her head and rubbed her eyes. âI have liked Brother Donglin since young, but I know that we are impossible, so I have always kept a distance from him. I treat him as a brother and he treats me as a sister. I know that he likes Nian Nian, so I wouldnât dare to disturb their relationship. Iâve always kept my distance.â
As she spoke, her voice quivered as she sobbed.
She looked like she was being bullied by everyone and was suffering from all the injustices in the world.
âAt this time, I know itâs not the best that I speak up, but I canât stand it anymore.â Lin Kerou looked at Li Beinian. âNian Nian, Brother Donglin really loves you. You have to believe him. He has never done anything to let you down.â
Li Beinian looked at the way she wept and rolled her eyes.
She was always good at acting pitiful to gain the crowdâs sympathy and trust.
By looking weak and vulnerable, people were willing to believe her.
However, in this situation, Li Beinian could not really figure out what she wanted to do.
âGrandpa Li.â Lin Kerou looked at Old Master Li. âAlthough the Lin Family does not have a long history like the Mu Family, itâs also a family of prestigious scholars. Our education is very strict and pre-marital sex is absolutely forbidden.â
After she spoke, there was an uproar.
It seemed that almost everyone realized what Lin Kerou was trying to do.
âIs she crazy? Something like that...â
âHowever, this is a way out. Itâs better than being accused of being the other woman!â
âWow, this is explosive. This woman is too daring!â
âSince she dared to say something like that, itâs probably true. Could it be that thereâs really nothing between Young Master Mu and her?â
...
Li Beinian couldnât help but draw a cold breath in shock.
She said something like that in front of so many people.
Was it worth it to do that for Mu Donglin?
âGrandpa Li, I know that youâre a noble man worthy of respect and you have many connections. Please invite a doctor over to prove my innocence,â Lin Kerou said confidently and eloquently. âMy background and my self-esteem do not allow me to be the other woman. Mu Donglin and I are innocent!â
