Chapter 1190 - Indirect Accusation

It was because all of that piled up at once that Cheng Yingni got confused for a moment and went straight up like that, and almost got herself frozen.

However, with Hu Yuling around, she couldn’t show a hint of regret.

Hu Yuling was the culprit, in fact. If it weren’t for her, she wouldn’t have had to take her assistant with her, and what happened after that wouldn’t have happened.

Although the matter didn’t get exposed, it was nevertheless a nightmare for Cheng Yingni, whose life had always been smooth-sailing.

Most importantly, a lot of people knew about it by now! It was an open secret to everyone!

She felt suffocated as she listened to the gossip all around her!

“Are you blaming me for that?” Seeing the expression that Cheng Yingni was wearing, Hu Yuling’s face also fell. “You think I’m getting you into trouble?”

Cheng Yingni’s lips moved, but she didn’t say anything.

She did have some resentment within, but didn’t dare to refute Hu Yuling.

Hu Yuling was a respectable figure as far as she was concerned, and getting into conflicts with her wasn’t a good idea.

However, she did have complaints.

She hadn’t shown it before, but she couldn’t control herself upon meeting Xia Xibei and the others today.

With the emotions roiling within her and the drowsiness in her head, she desperately wanted to scream and let out her anger.

......

Seeing her reddened, flustered face, Hu Yuling took a deep breath and decided not to argue with her.

“Alright now, that’s the end of it. The performance tomorrow is the most important thing at the moment.”

Other matters could be discussed after the performance tomorrow.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Cheng Yingni bit her lip, but did not speak a word.

The room fell into a moment of awkward silence.

“Yingni, the ginger tea is here.”

The assistant came in with a bowl of steaming ginger tea and almost got a shock from the ambience in the room.

Seeing their dark faces, she desperately wanted to dig a hole and hide herself, so she wouldn’t disturb the quarrel.

“Bring it here,” Hu Yuling said.

“Okay.”

The assistant hurried over and carefully handed the bowl to Cheng Yingni.

“Yingni, it’s a little...”

Before the word “hot” was uttered, Cheng Yingni had taken the bowl. With a hiss, she loosened her grip, and the bowl fell out of her hand.

With a bang, the bowl fell to the ground and the hot ginger tea spilled out from the inside, splashing onto their feet.

“Ah!” Cheng Yingni shrieked and hit the roof instantly, flinging her hand, “What’s the problem with you?!”

The assistant was dumbfounded after getting a slap out of nowhere. Stunned, she clasped a hand over her cheek and recoiled, apologising profusely, “Sorry! I’m sorry! It’s all my fault!”

“What an idiot! If you can’t do anything right, what’s the use of keeping you here?!”

There was no one else in the room, so Cheng Yingni had no concern for her image at all as she cursed furiously.

The little assistant could do nothing but squat down and pick up the broken pieces from the floor.

“I’ll clean it up right now!”

Cheng Yingni seemed to have found a vent for her anger, raging on with her verbal abuse, “You’re quite clever usually, so why would you make a fool of yourself this time? I’ve brought you up for nothing...”

“Enough!”

Hu Yuling’s voice was cold as she interrupted her angry scolding.

Cheng Yingni’s heart skipped a beat when she met Hu Yuling’s icy gaze, and she couldn’t help but shut her mouth.

Hu Yuling sneered. She certainly knew that Cheng Yingni was indirectly pointing her finger at her, because this assistant was one that she had found.

“Get outside once you’re done cleaning.”

Having received the green light from Hu Yuling, the assistant quickly nodded. She sped up the cleaning process and hurriedly left the room.

However, she was taken aback when she got to the door.
