Mu Yinyin crossed her arms and sneered indifferently.
She had long known that this mother and daughter would not admit their mistakes and would not give her what was rightfully hers.
The main reason was that Fu Siye had been bothering her; otherwise, she wouldn't have orchestrated this situation today!
"What did I do to cooperate with you and my mother? Mu Yinyin, you're forcing me. I just want the Mu Corporation to be better. I wanted to be good sisters with you, but you never gave me that chance. You hired internet trolls, you painted a bad image of me in front of Siye..."
"Are you talking about yourself in that last sentence? It's you who has been painting a bad image of me in front of Fu Siye all along, isn't it? I never held a knife to your throat and forced you to plagiarize!"
Seeing Nan Shiqing start to tear up, crying like a weeping willow, Mu Yinyin felt extremely annoyed.
She had no patience to listen to Nan Shiqing further, nor did she want to watch Nan Shiqing's pretense.
Then, Mu Yinyin turned to the police officer beside her and spoke sternly, "Officer, she is slandering me like this, causing significant damage to my reputation. I was almost forcibly taken to the police station by them. I demand compensation and an apology from them!"
Indeed, Mu Yinyin's expression was incredibly resolute.
"Yinyin, you are sisters, aren't you? Auntie will apologize to you, kneel for you. Please don't be like this, okay?" As she spoke, He Xia actually moved to kneel before Mu Yinyin.
With so many people present, He Xia thought that since Fu Siye was here, and her daughter Nan Shiqing was also present, they wouldn't let her actually kneel.
But she never imagined that Fu Siye would stand by indifferently.
Nan Shiqing did not step forward to stop her, only shouting, "Mom, why are you kneeling to her?"
He Xia was unwilling.
But the words had already been spoken; they could not be taken back.
"Ah—!"
Nan Shiqing suddenly let out a scream as she fell from the hospital bed.
This situation also gave He Xia an opportunity. He Xia rushed over to pull Nan Shiqing.
Mu Yinyin coldly watched the mother and daughter's coordinated act.
It's hard for an honest official to settle a family dispute. The police also advised Mu Yinyin, "It's best if you can resolve this privately. If it hasn't reached the stage of detention, and you want to claim damage to your reputation, you can file a lawsuit with the court through a lawyer."
"But you came here and cleared my name. If it weren't for you, how would I have the authority to check the hospital's surveillance footage? I demand that they apologize and clarify it online."
Mu Yinyin stated forcefully.
She had called the police, and they had already responded, with records and statements to be taken.
If her demands were not met, the case could not be closed. Moreover, He Xia and Nan Shiqing would definitely try to downplay the matter and apologize to her.
Mu Yinyin waited.
As expected, one of the police officers stepped forward to He Xia and Nan Shiqing. He spoke sternly and in a deep voice, "It's best if this matter can be settled privately. If you cannot resolve it yourselves, we will have to follow procedure, and reporting it up the chain would indeed be troublesome."
"Miss Mu also stated that as long as you apologize and clarify, she will not pursue your responsibility."
He Xia and Nan Shiqing noticed that Mu Yinyin was crossing her arms, her cold eyes fixed on them both, giving off a condescending aura.
At this moment, Nan Shiqing secretly nudged He Xia, and He Xia immediately understood.
With a "thump," He Xia knelt directly before Mu Yinyin.
With a runny nose and tear-stained face, she said, "Yinyin, it's Auntie's fault. Auntie was the one who gave your sister the idea, and I was the one who took the design drafts to your sister. Don't blame your sister. If you have anything, take it out on me. I never intended to monopolize your father's assets. Whatever you want, Auntie will give it to you. If you don't want Auntie and your sister to continue living in the Mu family, then we'll leave today and won't be an eyesore to you anymore, alright?"
"Mom, get up. Don't be like this. Sister, I know you can't stand me. Mom isn't wrong. I just like Siye, and Siye just wants to treat me a little better to compensate me. Can't you stand seeing Siye treat me well?" Nan Shiqing said, heartbroken. She reached out with one hand to help He Xia up, but He Xia did not move.
At this moment, Nan Shiqing's injured hand, wrapped in bandages, was particularly noticeable.
And what she was saying now easily shifted all the blame back to Mu Yinyin.
Mu Yinyin had done all this because she couldn't stand Fu Siye treating Nan Shiqing well.
She spoke with a half-smile, "No matter whose idea it was, haven't you already done it? Slandering me, framing you to harm yourselves, plagiarizing others' work. Clearly, you are the ones who are wrong, yet you still refuse to admit it. Clarify it yourselves online. Considering how many years you've taken care of my father, I'll give you face. If I don't see your mother and daughter's clarification online within an hour, then we'll meet in court!"
"Officers, I'm still very busy, so I'll be leaving now. Please keep an eye on this matter for me. If they do as I say, then the case will be closed."
Conversely: the case will not be closed.
After saying these words, Mu Yinyin left without looking back.
Fu Siye glanced indifferently at the mother and daughter. Especially when his gaze fell upon Nan Shiqing, the disappointment in his eyes was incredibly evident.
Nan Shiqing's expression changed instantly!
She was extremely anxious and quickly said, "Siye, no, it's not what you see..."
But before she could say anything more, Fu Siye turned and left without looking back.
"Siye... Siye..." Nan Shiqing was frantic and wanted to rush out, but the police blocked her, and she couldn't get out for a while.
The police, however, paid no attention to these matters and sternly looked at the mother and daughter, saying, "The concerned party has made their position clear. If you want to close the case and not be affected, it's best to do as she says. After you've done it, remember to call us. We need both parties to come to the station to sign a mediation agreement for us to close the case."
"Alright, we will do as she says." The person who responded was He Xia.
The police officers then nodded, gave a couple of instructions, and left.
As soon as they left, Nan Shiqing lost control and threw a tantrum, "Bitch! Ah! How could she be so hateful? How could she scheme against me like this?"
Although Nan Shiqing was furious, as soon as she yelled, her emotions surged, and tears involuntarily streamed down her face.
"I worked so hard to wait for him to say he'd marry me. He hates people who say one thing and do another. Now I've done it all. The disappointed look he just gave me... Mom, I'm finished. He must hate me now. What should I do!"
