Meng Jingwei smiled coldly, "I'm afraid you're framing Xiao Cheng as a scapegoat because you couldn't find the real culprit behind the revenge, and you also want to get back at Xiao Cheng for beating you up yesterday at the Yatu Gewa Hotel."
Qing Muye originally planned to reveal his identity and then rescue Xiao Cheng.
However, Qing Muye had contacted someone from Yipinju early that morning to investigate the surveillance video of the Kalita Hotel. They discovered that not only were there entrance and exit videos in the hotel lobby, but also videos in the corridors.
The videos just happened to expose her and Xiao Cheng.
This meant that Qing Muye didn't need to reveal his identity to prove Xiao Cheng's innocence.
Since that was the case, they didn't need to go through with the unnecessary plan.
"How could this be?"
"Then who attacked Prince Anthony yesterday?"
"I don't know."
"So, Xiao Cheng is really innocent."
"Who's to say he's not?"
...
A crowd of people whispered amongst themselves, each one contributing a sentence.
Only Li Yun'er, clenching her fists, spoke to Meng Jingwei with veiled sarcasm, "Sister Jingwei, you know very well that Xiao Cheng has a wife, yet you went to see him in the middle of the night. Women should have some self-respect."
She was trying to sow discord again, deliberately provoking Antina's jealousy towards Meng Jingwei.
Her intention was to use Antina's hand to eliminate Meng Jingwei and fulfill her heart's desire.
Meng Jingwei lazily lifted her eyelids, her red lips curving into an arc. She took a step and slowly walked towards Li Yun'er.
Her sharp gaze alone made Li Yun'er retreat a couple of steps, "I'm just telling the truth, why are you glaring at me like that? Are you not even allowed to speak the truth?"
"Alright. What else do you want to say? I'm listening," Meng Jingwei asked calmly.
Li Yun'er thought Meng Jingwei wouldn't dare to attack her in front of everyone, so she arrogantly declared, "I am your elder sister. I'm saying this for your own good. Although your 'husband' is dead, it's normal for you to develop feelings for someone else, but Xiao Cheng is a married man, and you should keep your distance from him. Otherwise..."
Li Yun'er trailed off, not finishing her sentence.
"Otherwise what?" Meng Jingwei's clear and limpid eyes showed no hint of anger.
"Otherwise, where would that put Antina? And where would that put Madam Lan Ya? If this gets out, people will gossip."
"Oh? What will they say?"
"They will... of course, they'll say unpleasant things. Like you, a widow, seducing a married man, being promiscuous, un... ah!"
Before Li Yun'er could finish speaking, Meng Jingwei raised her hand and slapped her hard across the face.
Although it was just a slap, she had put all her strength into it, sending Li Yun'er sprawling to the ground.
The moment she fell, her head hit the ground with a dull thud.
With a scream, all eyes turned to Li Yun'er. They then noticed blood trickling from her lips and even seeping from her ear.
Her fair cheek, bearing the imprint of five red finger marks from Meng Jingwei's slap, began to swell visibly.
"Li Yun'er, if you want to die, just say the word, and I can grant your wish right now!" Meng Jingwei's red lips parted slightly, a terrifying killing intent radiating from her.
She had never disliked anyone so much.
Li Yun'er was truly the only one.
"Get out, all of you, get out!"
Unable to find the real culprit and exposed by He Kalienuo for his disgraceful actions towards Meng Jingwei, Anthony felt utterly humiliated.
Now, with Meng Jingwei creating a scene with Li Yun'er, no one cared about his feelings.
All his anger and humiliation surged forth, driving him to the point where he flipped the table in fury.
