Chapter 217: 217: Tricked and Trapped by Them, She Admits Defeat_1

“Yueyue…” The man held her hand, but she turned her head away, not wanting to face him.

Ruan Tianling swallowed hard, feeling a tinge of regret in his heart.

When he believed Jian Yufei’s words earlier, it was all subconsciously, without giving it much thought.

Looking back, he really shouldn’t have believed Jian Yufei over Yan Yue.

All along, Yan Yue had only spoken once, pleading for Jian Yufei.

If she had been out to sabotage Jian Yufei, she wouldn’t have pleaded on her behalf.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Ruan Tianling held Yan Yue’s hand more tightly, silently comforting her and apologizing to her.

Yan Yue suddenly turned her head, smiled gently, and said, “I don’t want to wrongly accuse anyone nor should Miss Jian be wronged. Isn’t there surveillance footage here? Why don’t we check it so the truth can speak for itself?”

Ruan Tianling was feeling guilty, so naturally, he nodded and agreed when he heard her say that.

Xu Man looked condescendingly at Jian Yufei, chuckling sarcastically, “Some people play the victim, insinuating that we’re bullying them, as if they are the most pitiful ones. I wonder how she’ll continue this act once we see the surveillance footage!”

Jian Yufei’s face remained expressionless. She knew that checking the surveillance wouldn’t reveal much. Today, she had fallen into their trap. She conceded.

But don’t think this would make her weep or wail.

She wouldn’t be upset, wouldn’t feel wronged, she would never admit her mistake even if it killed her, she’d infuriate them to death!

Ruan Tianling’s deep gaze slid across Jian Yufei’s cold face, his forehead wrinkling slightly. This woman was still just as stubborn. It wouldn’t be surprising if she did something violent out of that stubbornness.

The surveillance video was quickly retrieved. The silver screen as big as the wall showed what had happened earlier.

Yan Yue and Xu Man approached Jian Yufei from behind and said something to her, but their voices were so low that they couldn’t be heard on the video.

Just as Jian Yufei was about to leave, Xu Man stopped her and asked her to pour her a drink.

The camera angle was such that it only showed the front of Jian Yufei; Yan Yue and Xu Man had their backs to the camera.

Jian Yufei’s expression was normal as she took a bottle of red wine and poured it into Xu Man’s glass.

Just as the glass was filled, Xu Man slightly lifted her hand. Suddenly, Jian Yufei swatted away the hand that was holding the glass, the wine splashing out and drenching Yan Yue who was standing nearby.

Furious, Xu Man slapped her, but Jian Yufei slapped her right back.

That was what happened.

Everyone who saw the video was displeased. Jian Yufei had gone too far! She did deliberately splash wine on Yan Yue for no reason!

Even when Xu Man angrily disciplined her, she not only showed no remorse, but also slapped her back. She acted righteously and showed no guilt at all.

A mere waiter behaving so arrogantly, that’s just too much, way too much!

Yan Yue’s mother, who had been watching the commotion from the sidelines, felt reassured after seeing the surveillance video. It was entirely Jian Yufei’s fault!

She walked up to Jian Yufei, pointed at her, and scolded, “Earlier Xu Man said that you should kneel and apologize. Back then, I thought it was too harsh. But now, making you kneel and apologize isn’t harsh at all! You were rude initially and showed no remorse afterwards. Today, you must kneel and apologize; otherwise, I won’t let you off!”

“I told you, I’m not wrong! And I’ve said, what you see might not be the truth!”
