"Xie Yifei, you... when did you arrive?" Xia Jingyi's eyes widened, a cold sweat breaking out.
Xie Yifei raised her eyebrows and chuckled, "I didn't arrive early or late. I just caught you batting your eyes at that General Manager Huang and acting coy."
"Xie Yifei, you're slandering me, making things up. You... what proof do you have?" Xia Jingyi was so anxious that sweat beaded on her forehead. She couldn't help but glance at Shen Xi and Jian Fan behind him.
A sudden, ominous feeling struck her. The three of them appearing together today, could it be aimed at her?
But without proof, she would never admit it.
"Oh. I'm sorry, I was so engrossed in watching those spectacular scenes that I forgot to take photos. What a slip-up!" Xie Yifei feigned regret, furrowing her brows.
Upon hearing this, Xia Jingyi scoffed, suddenly feeling emboldened. She gently pulled Zheng Tong's arm and said, "Zheng Tong, listen to me. You absolutely cannot believe this woman. Everything that just happened was a misunderstanding."
Zheng Tong, however, looked at Xie Yifei with a cold expression and didn't say a word.
Xie Yifei calmly opened her bag, took out a stack of photos, and handed them to Zheng Tong. "I forgot to take pictures today, but these are enough to show that Miss Xia has always behaved inappropriately."
Zheng Tong took the photos with slightly trembling hands and quickly flipped through a few. Each picture showed intimate gestures, filled with an ambiguous and hormonal aura, making them unbearable to look at.
Zheng Tong furiously threw the photos at Xia Jingyi's face and roared hoarsely, "What else do you have to say!"
Xia Jingyi was standing very close to him. Although she saw the photos reversed from her angle, she had already seen the images clearly.
The shooting angle of each photo was "just right." It was obvious someone had deliberately set this up, and she had been targeted.
"Xie Yifei, you insidious woman, you had me followed. What do you want?" She reached out to lunge at Xie Yifei but was intercepted by Zheng Tong.
At the same time, Xie Yifei was also protected behind Jian Fan.
Then, Shen Xi stepped forward and said in a sharp voice, "Miss Xia, I'm the one who did this. Don't take your anger out on Yifei."
Xia Jingyi stared at her blankly, "You... who are you? I have no feud with you, why would you do that?"
A faint smile touched Shen Xi's lips as she raised her eyebrows, "My name is Mia, an international investor. We met at the banquet that night but didn't have a chance to properly introduce ourselves."
After saying this, her gaze shifted, and she glared at Xia Jingyi sharply.
"Xie Yifei is my good friend. She was bullied at the banquet, so tell me, shouldn't I get revenge for her?"
Perhaps due to a guilty conscience, Xia Jingyi trembled slightly under her gaze and said evasively, "Revenge? What does that have to do with me?"
"Is that so? Miss Xia really thinks it has nothing to do with her? I have a recording here, why don't we all listen together." Shen Xi said, opening a recording from a few weeks ago on her phone.
After listening, Zheng Tong stared at Xia Jingyi in disbelief and tightened his grip, "Xia Jingyi, you truly surprise me. You always put on a gentle and lovely appearance, but in your heart, you are so vicious and capable of such despicable acts."
It was only at this moment that Xia Jingyi finally understood everything. No wonder there was no follow-up after that banquet, and Dai Lei had also disappeared without a trace.
So, they had already controlled him and learned the truth from him. This period of silence was precisely to find her weakness and expose her in front of Zheng Tong.
However, she couldn't just believe their side of the story; she absolutely refused to admit it. "I... no, Zheng Tong, listen to me. I didn't drug him. How could I do such a thing?
It was... it was that bodyguard who drugged himself. He must have seen that Xie Yifei was quite attractive and acted on his wicked intentions."
"You..." Xie Yifei's body trembled with anger at her prevarication. Just as she was about to step forward to argue, she heard Zheng Tong say coldly:
"Do you think I'll believe your words anymore? Xia Jingyi, I despise insidious, vicious, and self-disrespecting women the most. Let's break up."
He then released her hand and took a step back.
Hearing this, Xia Jingyi, with tear-filled eyes, grabbed his arm, "No, Zheng Tong, you can't be so heartless. What I did..."
Before she could finish, she was suddenly interrupted by the voice of a middle-aged woman from a distance, "Zheng Tong, Jingyi, what are you doing?"
